Presbyterian Synod
ObenS 126th Session

Greenville, Sept. 20.-The 126th
session of the Presbyterian Synod of
North Carolina was openeu last night
in East Carolina Teachers college
with sermon by Retiring Modera-
tor w. M. Farley, d. D., of Raeford.
Robert H. Stone, OF West Jeffer-
son, was elected new moderator on
the first ballot and will succeed DR..
Farley.
DR.. Farley spoke on the subject,
"Work'', and emphasized the impor-
tance of ceaseless activity on the part
of the church if she would make
headway in her task of converting
the world. DR.. Farley took his text
from Nehemiah, where the great
Hebrew leader was promoting the
rebuilding of the walls of Jerl salem,
and he described how Nehemiah in
cited individual and collective ac-
tivity. He said the people built the
walls with great energy because "the
people had a mind to work.
The minister drew illustrations
from the industry of bees and ants
whose instincts prompt them to toll
in corporations and design.
Labor" said DR.. Farley, "is the
only producer. Our farmers, our car
penters, miners and other Industrial
lists work hard to produce the things
we all enjoy. And they themselves
find employment in their own toll,
have little patience for the mod
ern demand for shorter hours ant
more pay. Such a policy has small
hope for our country or the world.
God does not rest, or waste time, and
He does not expect us humans to do
so.
'The same principle applies to
spiritual life. There are plenty OF
dreams in the church. 1t is full of
idlers, strikers and kickers. There
are comparatively few producers.
Our Master and his apostles and the
early Christians set us luminous ex-
amples of industry. Our educators
work hard and many institutions
such as this college represent to us
the outlay of wealth and labor to
produce our citizens. To the Chris
tian there is a promise of the Saw
ior's presence, but it is conditioned
on our willingness to labor in the
moral vineyard"
DR.. Farley referred to the great
evangelistic campaign about to be
set on foot in the Southern Pres
byterian church this year as a field
for great industry on the part of the
church.
Rev. L. R. Scott, of Goldsboro, led
the devotions today, and standing
committees will be appointed. Miss
Louise Clanton, Charlotte president
of the Woman's auxiliary of the

have been operating. They haven't
any money of their own to speak OF
"a bright idea merely.
The contributors make their checks
payable "when the United States is
sues letters of marque and reprisal." )"
After expenses have been paid and
the working privateermen have had
their divvy the dividends will be
pro-rated in proportion to invest
ments. Suppose 100 individuals put
up $1,000 apiece, each will get only
Tooth of the remaining kitty, but that
might mean 1000 per cent on his
subscription.
It's such a safe bargain, too. If
Congress doesn't vote letters of mar
que and reprisal it doesn't cost any
thing. If it does, look at the prac-
tical certainty of huge profits as
suming, to be sure, that the priva-
tering submarine isn't put out of
business by some enemy ship be-
fore it's scored any prizes.

Hood Urges Drastic
Bank Supervision
Continued From Page One]


past and present systems of super
vision to prevent the failure of large
numbers of banks, both State and
national and in its blunt recOmmen-
dations for measures which could
be accomplished only by vigorous
and direct political action and which
would undoubtedly be followed by
widespread repercussions.
Mr.. Hood, as a preliminary to a
twelve-point plan for the future, out
lined history and development OF
the country's banking system, with
particular emphasis on the tremen-
dous proportion of banks chartered
only to 60 out of existence later be-
cause, he said, Of ineffective super
vision.
Speaking early in his address of
supervision exercised by the comp
troller of the currency over national
banks, he asked rhetorically, "Was
supervision effective?'', and answered
himself with an emphatic ''No!!'
He followed his analysis of failure
on the comptroller's part with equal
ly damming facts and figures regard
ing the Federal Reserve System, and
various state supervisory Set-ups;
concluding in each case that methods
of supervision have been WOefully
weak and inefficient.
His recommended remedies con-
template very largely a concentra-
ton of supervision in the compara-
tivelv recent innovation in the bank
ing field, the Federal Deposit In
which MIR. Hood has frequently laud-
ed in the past and which he has held
out as one of the outstanding &C
complishments of the New Deal In
improving banking conditions IN the
country generally
His theme song of supervision is
"uniformity;;" a theme clearly set out
in one of his concluding paragraphs
'"There is no just reason why the
United States government shoulo
have three separate agencies, all au-
thorized to supervise banking lnstl-
tutions when one agency could 90
much better job and would receive
the better support OF both deposl-
tors and stockholders"
Arguing for the FDIC as the loglca
agency to perform these functions
he said:
'The logical Federal agent to per-
form this service (superV1slon)
the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration, as it is the only Fedora
agency that has a direct interest II
all of the banks represented. Its
member banks must be kept souno
if the corporation will fail. Ii the

concentrations submitted by Mr.

like piracy.
Nevertheless, it's internationally
legal. The crew of a privateer, as
such raiders once were known, rates
like the crew of any man-o'-war
Captured, its members are war pri-
soners, but nothing worse than that
not if they're duly accredited pri-
vateersmen by their home govern
ment. Of course, a privateer can pro-
perly be sunk, same as any Warship
And it's all right for the enemy to
kill its personnel in action Nor do |
contend that a bunch of privateers-
men, if caught, would be likely to
receive much consideration-bu un-
der international law, they're en-
titled to the same treatment as any
other war. prisoners.
In Daniel Webster's Day.
Americas last letters of marque
and reprisal were issued in 1851 and
we're signed by Secretary of State
Daniel Webster 1t was when Maxi
MILAN was just butting into Mexico
The expected emergency didn't de-
velop, so the authorization lapsed,
but we'd done considerable priva-
teering earlier than that.
And the systems as Americanly
constitutional today as ever it was
provided Congress votes to put it
into effect.
Accordingly Homer Dodge and
Aled Davies, couple of Washing
ton journalists, have formed a limit
ed partnership to ask for marque and
reprisal letters if and when the Unit
ed States declares war against any
foreign country or if and when any
foreign country declares war against
us.
The partnerships plan contem-
plates the use of a submarine, to
catch enemy merchantmen and con-
misunderstanding neutrals = taking
captured craft into American ports,
into allied ports or into neutral ports,
where they can be verified as the
capturers' property before prize
courts Ridiculous? Maybe so, but it's
constitutional.
In the Millions.
It is pointed out that the German
liner Bremen, had she been over
hauled by a privateer, would have
DG0Il WOIIIl dIOCIlO 9AO,UUU,UUU W n0r
captors. The smallest tanker, the
most insignificant oceangoing cargo
boat, would be worth big money.
The original investors in the en-
terprise will have what used to be
called, in old whaling days, the "first
lay" that is the largest share. How
ever, every member of the sub
marines crew and every member of
the crew of any attendant surface
craft or cooperating seaplanes will
get his split.
It isn't to be forgotten, either, that
several of the more notable fortunes
in olden-day New England and along
the entire Atlantic seaboard were
founded on privateering during the
wars of independence and of 1912.
Plenty of Support.
The nutty part of it is that Dodge
and Davies are getting a good bit OF
support.

HOW NOT TO PAINT PIANOS

The room it was unbalanced,
And some say l was too;
My black upright piano
Seemed sadly out of place
AS fashion cried out loudly
For pianos pale of face.
could not buy new one
Nor move it from the room,
But every day in every way
'Twould bigger, blacker, loom;
Then suddenly a notion
I'd paint my old piano white
PreposterouS I had:
And follow fashions fad.
I bought some white enamel,
(Having notions in my head)
I really should have bought myself
a. padded cell instead;
I thought one coat would do it
I'd thought 'twould take one day,
Didn't know what sanding meant
It sounded much like play.
My cook looked in with horror,
My QOg inspected, tOO,
And over his recumbent form
I stumbled, as do,
And broke my most expensive vase;
gently stopped swear
And picked up my directions
To read what was there.
"Be sure that your piano is
Well wiped with gasoline,
Then use the sanding paper
And rub it till it's clean;
Dry thoroughly between each coat,
And make the first coat thin,
And paint it smoothly from the first,
And let it soak right in.''
With lots of vim I started,
But alas for all my hopes;
The legs were full of curleycues,
Enamel dripped in ropes
On each piano key so black
And also on the floor;
And then the jar of gasoline
Cur-rashed and spilled some more.
In painting my piano
To economic I'd sought,
So here I give the pros and cons
OF all that I have wrought:
One fifty for enamel,
The paper, gas, and brush; y
The gas was spilled the time the jar
Was broken in the rush.
And when the vase was broken
The dOQQiQ ate if I'm.

charge
To mend inside my pup. -
He also chewed the leather
From a footstool I held dear;
Gould there have been goat upon
His family tree I fear?)
The floor is badly spotted
Tho papers I laid down,
My shoes and socks 1 ruined too,
That were SO nicely brown;
My dress it was total loss,
But it I may reclaim
If e'er piano painting should
Become my only aim.
I have a small suggestion here
Which may not be amiss,
It takes a lot of wording,
But I'll boil it down to this:
You won't save much by painting
Your piano cream or white,
It may look nice in pictures,
But at home it looks sight.
With all my fancy flourishes
My paint turned out deceiver,
For now my nice piano looks
Quite sick with spotted fever;
Altho you may be positive
Your elbow grease is swell,
