round "trip airplane ride. The only
child Of q Gloucester policeman,
Eddie. first came to Washington
last October when he was 1
months old. His parents had read
about the work DR.. Schoenfeld was
doing at Children's Hospital with
condition known as microcephaly,
In which the brain, the skull, or
both together, stop growing. Eddie
was a victim of microcephaly.
Until DR.. Schoenfeld started his
operation, no attempt had been
made since the 1905 to cope with
the disease.
The brain surgeon examined little
Eddie and operated. He separated
the skull into halves along a line
extended over the top of the head
from points Just in front of the
two ears. He placed metal wedges
on each side of the head to hold the
halves apart. Then he cut the
durameter, q very slightly elastic
membrane in which the brain is
inclosed.
Eddie remained at the hospital
two weeks and returned home. The
second operation, performed 10 DAYS
ago, was to enlarge the skull. The
operative wounds are healed now.
Ihere's nothing more DR.. Schoen-
leld can do for him for a while
but wait with his fingers crossed, as
he put 1t himself.
The child appeared completely
unconcerned as he waited for Dr

MARRIAGES, PARTIES
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
COMMON WORDS.

These words were heard beside the
Hadrian wall
The day the Mortimer landed; they
were heard
Shouted through London streets;
their vigor stirred
In Magma Charta; they proclaimed
the fall
Of Philips hopes; in every childish
scrawl,
In every love-note; where the first
print blurred
In the first books-no jest was too
absurd,
No prayer too high-these words
wove through them all
The Cavaliers who found Virginia S
shore
A sanctuary, Puritans who wrung
A living from the rough unwilling
seas,
The men who trod Boone's road
these speak once more
AS we, their heirs, hear dimly from
our tongue
Old echoes ringing down the CEN
turtles.

er had "lobbied hell out of the sub
committee" took oratorical honors.
They've been at it hammer and
tongs ever since. Yesterdays battling
was particularly fierce, though it's
hard to give it an edge over Thurs
day nights terrific struggle on the
health department appropriation.
Citing an instance or two: Cher
ny offered an amendment to increase
to $115,000 per year the funds for
the advertising division of the De-
partment of Conservation and Devel-
opment, an increase Of SEE, 900 year
over the 100000 recommended by
the committee.
The speaker defended the cut, al
though in his speech he termed the
advertising fund ''my baby" telling
how he sponsored it in 1887, nursed
it through the Assembly of that year
and watched its accomplishments
with real pride.
At one stage Cherry sought to in
terrupt for question, but Ward re-
fused to yield. After the speaker had
finished, Victor Bryant, in the chair,
asked if "the gentleman from Craven
will now yield to the gentleman from
Gaston?", whereupon Cherry snap
ped: The gentleman didn't see fit
to yield when l wanted to ask a
question, now I'll make my own re-
marks"
When he did he said he is "as-
funded at the statement of the
speaker that the advertising fund is
his baby"
"But if it is, then he ought to
know that the law requires a daddy
to support his children"
To which Ward rejoined: "Any
baby ought to get along pretty we'll
on 100000 year"
On the showdown vote, Ward won
again, 70 to 20, with the "ayes and
noes" going down in black and
white on Cherry's suggestion.
But it was just another episode in
the battling which has made House
sessions of late as good as any show
to which" So admission is charged.

TWO AUTOS WRECK

Two automobiles were consider

Money Fight Strang-
est In Many Years
Continued From Page One)

Continued From Page One)
Cam was quite a spender himself.
But this time the picture is exact
ly the opposite. This time the legis-
lative machine, led by Libby Ward,
ably assisted by Chairman Bill Fen
ner and John Caffey of finance and
appropriations, is doing its dead
level best to hold down spending re-
commended by Governor Clyde R
Hoey and the Advisory Budget Com
mission-of which, incidentally, Lib
by was himself a member.
It is noticeable that every pro-
ponent of an increase over spend
ing as reported in the appropriations
bill can quote either the governor
or the Advisory Budget Commission
as in favor of his proposal.
It was true of the health depart
ment budget, the $4,000 put in by
the Cherry amendment of Thursday
night was recommended by the Bud
get Commission.
It was true of the advertising di-
vision fight Governor Hoey speci-
fically pointed with pride to the
great accomplishments brought about
under the program and Earnestly
urged continuation of the apprOpria-
ton.
It's going to be true practically
every other money fight in prospect
The governor asked for a twelfth
grade in the schools, or for an addi-
tional increment in teacher salaries
The appropriations committee pro-
no of
comes up for debate, proponents are
going to cite the governors blessing
while the House machine will fight
against expenditures urged by the
executive.
The governor favored a teacher
retirement plan. No provision has
yet been made for any such thing
by the legislative masters.
The governor recommended S.
100000 bond issue for roads. So far
nobody has ever mustered courage
enough to propose such a measure in
the face Of quite evident hostility on
the part of a tremendous bloc OF
economy minded legislators.
In summation, it can be pointed
out that the appropriations which
seem likely to be supported by the
legislature will fall at least three and
a half million dollars short Of the
expenditures for the biennium urged
by the governor, Budget Commits
sion, or by both.
The sole exception to the phenO-
menon of a North Carolina governor
advocating, and a legislature curling
financial looseness in spending ano
raising money, was the question Of
diversion of funds from the high
way department. Here there is nc
doubt whatever that only Governor
Hoey's insistence stopped this Assem-
bly, from forbidding transfer Of any
highway funds, an action which
would beyond doubt have called fol-
raising of more revenue from some
new form of taxation

THE LISTENER.

He is a man who always hears
A trumpet sounding in his ears,
Or golden bugles blowing loud,
Or flutes as quiet as a cloud
He is not one to run from sound
OF rivers, leaping from the ground
Or to some finite circle creep
Away from music, lost in sleep
He would translate the smallest note
Uplifted from a silver throat
Into a miracle of grace,
He is the joyous of the race
With laughter written on his face
