Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL AND
LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, Feb. 28.-News of the
Senate's trip to Wilmington may
seem bit belated, but there are one
or two items of unpublished incid-
ents which may merit just a note in
passing.
For instance, the pointed way in
which Guitar Moore, chairman of the
State ABC board, was completely
and blandly ignored when it came to
recognizing" the distinguished
State officials.
At the Mira-Mar luncheon, Chair
man Emmett Bellamy got around
even to the press boys, much to their
CONSERVATION; but he never so much
as batted an eye in the direction of
Mr.. Moore, who was among those
present.
A tWO-minute conversation with
that outspoken Irishman and Will
mington dry cleaning establishment
proprietor, Pat O'CroWley, convinced
this correspondent that all the merit
is not upon the side of those seek
ing to abolish the State Dry Clean
ing Commission.
Existence of the commission, which
Pat VOWS really functions with a ven
geance, means protection to the work
ers in the establishments against
dangerous conditions and long hours,
protection to patrons against un-
scrupulous and deceptive advertis-
ing, and protection to the operators
against chiseling, underhanded rivals.
1t was noticeable that in a page
of advertising of "Welcome" to the
Senators, practically every reputable
cleaning establishment in Whining
ton joined in a plea to the senators
not to abolish the commission, which
has been under heavy legislative fire
ever since the session opened.

A senator who lives and makes
his living on the farm-one of the
few of that kind in the legislature
was talking the other day about
overlapping activities in some State
agencies. "There has to be some
overlapping in order to do a COM
plete job," he said. 'Why, a day or
two ago l was down on my farm and
had a Negro running a manure
spreader. If he didn't overlap lit
tie bit, l called him back and made
him go over the same ground again.
And that was worse than little bit
of overlapping in the first instance.

Sammy Jay is one of those who
believe in the wisdom of the old
saying, EARLY to bed and early to
rise" Sammy needs no alarm clock
to get him up early in the morning.
He is awake as soon as it is light
enough to see, and wastes no time
wishing he could sleep little longer.
His stomach wouldn't let him if he
wanted to. Sammy always wakes up
hungry. In this he is like all his
feathered neighbors.
So the minute Sammy gets his
eyes open he makes his toilet, for
Sammy is very neat, and starts out
to hunt for his breakfast. Long ago
Sammy discovered that there is no
safer time of day to visit the door,
yards of those two-legged creatures
called men than very early in the
morning. On this particular morn
ing he had planned to fly over to
Farmer Browns dooryard, but at the
last minute he changed his mind.
Instead he flew over the dooryard of
another farm. It was so very early
in the morning that Sammy didn't
expect to find anybody stirring, so
you can guess how surprised he was
when, just as he came in sight of
that dooryard, he saw the door of
the farmhouse open and man step
out.
Sammy stopped in the top of the
nearest tree. Nov what is that
man doing up as early as this?"
muttered Sammy. Then he caught
sight of something under the mans
arm. He didn't have to look twice
to know what it was. 1t was gun.
Yes. sir. it was a gun; a terrible gun.
Hal exclaimed Sammy, and
quite forgot that his stomach was
empty. Now, who can that fellow
be after so early in the morning.
