Ben Johnson Burial

Tradition says that Ben Jonson
was buried in a sitting position be-
cause the plot provided for him on
the north side of the nave in West
minister abbey was not large
enough for the body to be placed
in the grave in a horizontal posi-
ton. According to a legend, King
Charles / personally promised JON
son that he should be inferred in the
abbey in any spot that he might
choose. After his death August 6,
1887, it was found that the space he
had selected for burial was already
occupied except about eighteen
inches of square ground" Charles
kept his promise and Jonson was
buried with his head toward the sky,
the only occupant Of the abbey to
be so honored. The famous inscrip-
ton, 20 Rare Ben Jonson," was
cut in the slab over his grave. Many
years later a portrait bust to his
memory was placed in the Poets
corner.

Every now and then, the news
papers report a ''brand new" idea
or a 'brand new" discovery.
Take, for instance, the report
about "swing reading" Accord
ing to recent headlines, "swing
reading" is the latest thing mag
inable-the invention of two smart
eye doctors in Los Angeles.
AS the papers say, the doctors
disclosed their idea" a short time
ago at national convention of the
American Optometric association.
Advocating a new system of print
ing in "swing STYLE" the doctors
said they had something that
would help the eyes. In short,
they urged this type of thing:

He eats no lunch to save more time.
He cuts through formalities with
his many business callers and saves
more.
Stettinius is that reputed rar- i.
ity, q rich mans son who has
made good. His father became
an industrial leader in st. Louis,
and was invited to become a
Morgan partner. The son lost
little time after his graduation
from the University of Virginia
in beginning his business ca
reer, not because he had to, but
because he wanted to work. He
was "a years old when he went
into General Motors in 1924, 81
when he became vice president,
"a when he was made vice chair
man of the finance committee
of U. S. Steel and SO when he
took the top job as chairman Of
the board.
Modernity stands out in the strong
lines of his figure, his crisp speech,
and his attitude toward problems of
politics and business. They say he
nearly tainted when he first saw the
office furniture of the 81 floors of
the Steel Corporation building after
he became chairman. The rolltop
desks and similar items were un-
changed since the days of Judge
Gary. The refurnishing began inn
mediately under Stettinius and was
thorough.
Mr.. Stettinius plays neither bridge
nor golf; he takes his exercise on
the bedroom floor, and occasionally
goes out to his 50O-acre farm in Vir-
ginia.

.Lanier Sees
Large Crop

Washington, July 81. c. Lanier,
is predicting 15-cent tobacco this
year, unless the government steps
INTO the "overplanted" field.
MIR. Lanier, here to interview
members OF Congress regarding pro-
posed amendments to the Wage-hour
act, told members that farmers in
North Carolina have greatly over
planted" with the view of making
more money on the basis Of past
years prices. He believed, however,
that farmers will receive less this
year for their tobacco, and sees the
need for some form of control.
Mr.. Lanier expressed himself in
accord with the pending tobacco
amendments offered to the house
D. Cooley, of Nashville. These
amendments, held up because of
must legislation, would change
the method OF determining control
from a pOundage to an acreage ba-
sis, and permit the secretary of ag-
riculture to call a referendum on
control after July /, for the coming
planting season.
In the opinion of Mr.. Lanier, the
government, in order to prevent to-
bacco prices from dropping as low
as Is cents, will have to call a ref
erendum, setting control for next
year and at the same time providing
means of holding the price above the
expected level.
"You would be surprised" Mr.
Lanier said, eat the amount of tobac-
co planted in North Carolina this
year. Farmers, after voting down
control, have planted eight and nine
acres where last year they only put
three or four under cultivation" He
added that farmers generally did not
realize that this 'eXcessive planting
is going to cut their prices down tC
about Is cents"

New York, July 3.-North Caro-

derived from driving over splendid
highways which lead through di-
versified and picturesque country
sides North Carolina was early in
developing modern highways.
The State is replete with points of
historic interest. The name Carolina,
was originally given to that country
by Charles TX of France and was
later retained out of compliment to
Charles II Of England. Subsequently
the territory was divided into North
and South Carolina.
It is possible that some French and
Spanish explorers visited the coast
of North Carolina in the first part
of the Sixteenth Century but it was
Sir Walter Raleigh who directed the
settlement near the close of the same
century. North Carolinians fought
under Washington at BrandyWine
and they have figured prominently
in all wars and important events in
the history of the nation.
Many vacationists living in the
North have only ten days or two
weeks in which to enjoy a trip and
often express a desire to visit Shen-

Sen. Reynolds
Okays Ban On
immigration

Washington, July ga beginning
toward the solution of one of Amer
ica'S major economic problems
saving American Jobs for American
citiZens-has just been made by the
Senate immigration Committee, in
approving legislation designed to
stop all immigration for five years,
Senator Robert r. Reynolds (D-N.C.)
sponsor of closing Americas gates to
aliens, said today.
In commenting on the action of the
committee in reporting on a modi-
fled version of one of his five bills
affecting aliens, Senator Reynolds
emphasized that the committees vote
upheld the position he has maintain
ed steadily since coming to the SEN
ate, and went on to say:
ut is encouraging that my collea-
CUES have adopted my position in
principle, even though they reduced
the 10-year ban on immigration that
l asked, to five years, and provided
only for the registration of all aliens,
While asked that aliens not only be
registered but be fingerprinted as
we'll.
"The committees action, which l
anticipate the Senate and House will
approve, is far step in the right di-
rectiOn as it recognizes the sound
ness Of my principle. But, l shall
continue fighting for all the points
set forth in the five bills I introduce
ed, and which call for the deporta-
ton of alien criminals and undesir-
able aliens, among other things.
"The American taxpayers, once the
true facts are given them, undoubt-
eddy will join me in this position
They are paying the bills for thous-
andS Of alien criminals in our pri-
sons; they are paying the bills for
the damage done our nation by thous
ands of alien agitators who are try
ing to overthrow this government
and substitute some ism for demo-
cracy and we know it.
'There is no other nation on the
face Of the globe that feeds, clothes
and shelters alien criminals with the
happy abandon with which the Unit
ed States does. The annual crime
bill, running into billions of dollars
would be cut immensely if we drove
out of our country all these alier
crooks. The records of the Depart
ment Of Justice show that they are
repeated offenders; yet, we let then
stay in this country, to prey on oul
citizens again and again when they
serve their terms. Then, we have t.
pay the cost Of catching them, trying
them and caring for them in prison
once more.
