Urges U. S. to Withdraw
Recognition Of Russia.

To the Editor OF The Star:
On or about November 13. The Star
printed a letter from me in which I
urged for many reasons therein stated,
withdrawal Of our recognition Of Russia,
dimissal of her representatives here and
recall of our representatives from Russia.
Reasons for such action are stronger
today than at the time wrote.
Jealous Of the honor of our country
and greatly concerned for its peace and
security, I wish to reiterate through The
Star a demand that we Immediately
withdraw recognition Of Russia and
sever diplomatic relations.
Russia's attack upon Finland Is the
most barbarous and unjustif1ed attack
upon a small, defenseless and helpless
people in history, and the reasons there
for are based upon pack Of lies that
would not be believed by an infant.
The present rulers Of Russia are liars
and thieves and without conscience They
came from the gutter and their language
In international intercourse is that Of
the gutter. They have proven them
selves unworthy of association with or
recognition by civilized peoples.
1t is stated in the papers that there
is commission from Russia here to buy
airplanes. protest any such sale to
them as being dishonor to our Nation,
and as making us particeps criminis to
the mass murder Of women and children
by this despicable and irresponsible ORR
entail regime.
Furthermore, the neutrals are suffer-
ing more than the belligerents in this
war and their peace and security are
threatened and in jeopardy. Our Nation,
being the most powerful in the world,
should take the lead in an effort to unite
the neutrals In an attempt to end this
war by peaceful means If possible, and
failing in that, they should make war
upon Germany and Russia. When VIC
torious, as they would be, Germany
should be dismembered and disarmed,
and an allied army Of permanent occu-
patton kept there at the expense Of the
German people so that they win not be
able to again threaten the peace and
security of the world, and the Russians
should be driven back into Oriental
Russia, where they belong. for they have
no place In Occidental civilization.

Artificial Rudium

The ancient dream Of the alchem-

Mr.. Dewey Speaks

Thomas E. Deweys speech in Min
neapolis last night cast him in the
role of an apostle of hope-in a
country which has been fed on a diet
Of despair. 1t was speech calculated
to make special appeal to young
America, although it was not without
Its attraction for older heads.
The Dewey speech was an arraign-
ment of the New Deal administra-
ton for failure to bring to life new
enterprise in this country. His
charge was that the policy of the
New Dealers was merely to hang
onto a life line-thrown out by the
Federal Government at a cost of bill
lions of dollars. His contention was
that the New Deal administration
had failed in its objective of putting
Americans back to work because it
had repressed, instead of encouraged,
new enterprise and adventure into
new fields.
Mr.. Dewey offered in his speech no
panaceas He made a strong appeal,
however, for a change in the mental
attitude Of America-which has been
turned into a defeatist attitude, he
said, by the very men who preached
"the more abundant life" Until the
American people get away from de-
featist attitude and are willing to
branch out again without shack
ling hand of government on their
shoulder-there can be no hope, in
Mr.. Dewey's opinion.
The New York favorite son candi-
date for the g. o. p presidential
nomination placed himself squarely
on record as favoring the encourage
ment Of private enterprise, asserting
that I'VE can cure abuses in business
without creating abuses by Govern
ment."
The country has looked forward
with interest to Mr.. Dewey's first po-
litical speech. The very intensity Of
that interest proves the fact that the
country has been in a mood for
something something newer
than the New Deal. To many Mr..
Dewey has been only name asso-
ciated with the prosecution OF rack
eteers and shoddy politicians. A
year ago he gained more prominence
when he ran for Governor of New
York against Governor Herbert Leh-
man-and lost by only 10000 votes
In a State which casts millions.
His address last night proposes to
the American people new political
philosophy-a philosophy of hope
and courage. His criticisms of the
present administration had no tinge
Of wild abuse. But they were both
thoughtful and trenchant. Mr..
Dewey made no effort in this first
speech to the American people-for
it was broadcast from Minneapolis
to specify New Deal laws which
should be forthwith repealed. He
made no effort to outline a program
Of his own. On the other hand, he
gave very definite indication of the
road on which he proposed to travel.
No attempt was made by the New
Yorker to deal with the foreign sit
uation. In view of the fact that the
situation is changing almost day by
day this may have been wise. Yet
the country will not be content to
allow any candidate for the presi-
dency next year-unless an early
peace Is made abroad-to pass into
the White House without some very
definite ideas of his attitude toward
the question of American foreign
rn1ofions

Georgia Leaf
Low Quality.

Oxford, August 1.--Andrew jam
ison, prominent Oxford tobacco deal
er and close observer and analyslst
of market trends, said, upon his re-
turn from Georgia, that he was mot
much impressed'' with the complaint
that market prices in Georgia are
very low"
The better grades of tobacco are
cheaper, Mr. Jameson observed, ad-
ding that the bulk Of tobacco Of
fered on warehouse floors was of
poor quality as compared with the
1888 crop.
Y. H. Robertson, buyer for the w.
A. Adams company, who accOmpani-
ed Mr.. Jameson, together with Tom
Evins, on the visit to Georgia mar
kets, exhibited a hand of tobacco
which he said came from a pile of to-
bacco which brought STATS. The to-
bacco was mixed, short and had lit
tie to commend it as a quality pro-
duct
It was Mr.. Jamieson's observation,
too, that the Georgia crop is very
poorly graded and none of it is tied
when offered for sale. The buying
and freight costs of getting tobacco
to North Carolina is $150 per hun
dred, he explained, stating that an
additional 81 per hundred is requir-

CHAPTER FOUR

JERRY DALE was grinning eve1
though no nirth was in his heart
He had the unlovely habit of grin
ming this way at an adversary be
cause he held high confidence IL
himself.
"All right, Jasper" he growlet
at the slender man, "are you sat
isfied?"
Jasper Peters couldn't answer
he was groggy, and he was spit.
ting and drooling blood. Dale's fist
had cracked a tooth, loosened two
more, cut his mouth badly. Jasper
lay sprawled on the ground.
Dale himself was untouched;
even his hair was in place, as usual.
He had gotten in precisely the blow
he anticipated-a quick knock
down, and the fight was over. He
wished somebody had seen it; a
man such as he likes to have an
audience any time. He looked now
and did see third man approach
ing around the corner of the high
Phantom hay barn. .>~
Jerry, what's up?" the third
man called, seeing Jasper on the
ground.
"Nothing's up" Jerry Dale said,
still grinning. "On the contrary,
Jasper Peters is down. I told him
he looked like a woolly sheep, with
his week-old whiskers. He tried to
make something of it."
The newcomer was a big man
with mop Of white hair. His head
suggested that he might be Is or
80 years of age, but his face in
stantly corrected that. He couldn't
have been more than SIS, perhaps
not even SO. Some men do whitten
so prematurely as to be spectacu-
lar with it. George Brazee was one
Of them; the white added high dig
nifty. =
"He tried to make something of
it ?" Mr.. Brazee echoed.
"Yep," said Dale. 'He forgot who
I was, I guess. Forgot was inter-
collegiate boxing champion. That's
only been two years ago. I've kept
in good shape since, too"
"Um," said Mr.. Brazee, studying
the situation. Peters had risen
slowly to his feet, but still looked |
miserable, holding his mouth.
"Yep, he forgot" Jerry repeated,
grinning again.
"I see," said Mr.. Brazee, calm
ly. "And did YOU forget any
thing?"
"Hunh? Doesn't look like it, does
it ? He came in with his guard wide
open."
"What I meant was-did you
overlook the detail Of Mr.. Peters
age? And size? You and I are
built like Hereford bulls. Jasper
isn't"
"Sure, Mr. Brazee, that's what I
meant! He forgot it's dangerous to

only normal. If they were prone to
overlook his youthful shortcom-
ings, that was normal, too. But
George BraZee was no fool and
sometimes had to force the pa
tience he exercised.
From the first day. there Jerry
had rubbed the Phantom cowboys
against the hair. The incident with
old Jasper Peters, who cooked for
the cowboys, was just one sample,
although matters seldom came
thus to actual blows. Among them
Jerry was tolerated, not liked: he
didn't seem to care.
Jerry's whistle changed to a
song as he saddled his horse there
at the corral gate.
Got no pal,
Got no gal,
To keep me companee-e-e-e-e"
A Negro boy, horse wrangler for
the Phantom, interrupted him.
"How come you sing you amt got
no gal, Mistuh Jerry, sub? You got
ones picture in yo' room. I sees it
when Miss Sally makes me help
clean up"
That's good locker, all right,

"Whoo! bets you sho can write

hey, looky yonder! It's hOss COM
ing in without no rider"
A saddled horse was trotting
from the town trail into the fiat
expanse outside the corral, head up,
eyes a bit wild looking.
whoa, boy, whose boss is you?"
Midnight soothed him. II is seen
you befo'. Lenme think" He took,
the reins, stroked the animal and
caressed him gently.
Jerry Dale was ignoring the boy,
while inspecting the riderless ami
NAL. He could identify nothing,
though; nothing outwardly.
He opened the buckle of a saddle
pocket. Surprisingly, a woman's
beaded purse was inside.
Jerry opened the purse. He
counted nearly $50 in cash and
some travellers checks, found odds
and ends Of feminine things. The
Negro lad looked on pop-eyed.
"Sa-a-a-ay" exclaimed Jerry,
ooking fearfully off down theI
rail.

Jasper Peters couldn't answer.

i II see," Mr.. Frazee still spoke
seriously. Well, Time has a way
with these things. Anyway, we have
common enemy to worry about
instead of fighting among our
selves. Furthermore, Mr.. Peters
had on a loaded pistol-and didn't
draw it,"
HE didn't have a chancer Jerry
laughed aloud at that, walking
away from his friend and EMPLOYER,
Jerry STROBE gracefully, like the
1.-the young giant he was. He was
a striking figure walking now to-
ward the main corral. He always
was, for that matter. Mrs. Frazee
Sally Brazee-once told him he
was very handsome. But he already
knew that, too.
The Dale family in Phoenix, and
the Brazee family, had been friends
since before bucky young Jerry
was born. Oscar Dale himself had
been a rancher once. He was happy
when young Jerry "took" to cattle
even though Jerry saw the range
industry through modern eyes.
Jerry had not planned simply to
own a ranch. He had gone through
a technical college to specialize in
agronomy.
That delighted both families, for
the wiser, broader men in the
southwest all realized the need for
scientific improvements in breeding
and developing beef cattle; an en-
ergetic man such as young Dale
could make a name for himself
and do lot of good, too.
It had seemed entirely logical for
Jerry to start his work on Braces
vast Phantom ranch. Trouble with
the cattle rustlers hadn't started
then, and the Phantom offeredi
every kind Of grass, browse and an
imal necessary for scientific tests
and experiments. It was within
half a days run of the state mi
versity through which he could
have official supervision and euid- |
ance for the industry at large. vet

would nave no town distractions.

it was loudly announced that ten

Wilmington area to see to it that

An examination Of the States mo-
tor vehicle law reveals, however,
that there seems no test to apply to
truck brakes except whether or not
they are adequate to stop the vehicle
within 80 feet, When hand and SER
vice brakes are applied simultan-
eously, or within so feet when either
is applied eparately-this when the
truck is travelling 20 miles an hour,

Wake Forest, August lit has
been a long time-cleven and a
quarter centuries to be exact+-since
Charlemagne, king Of the Frankish
people, died in the year 814 A. d.
Yet, if one man had been teaching
college students even since that
time, he would still have two years
to go before his teaching experience
would equal the cumulative teach
ing record Of the present faculty Of
Wake Forest college.
If the eighty men now on the
Wake Forest faculty could stretch
their years of classroom instruction
end to- end, they would cover 1927
years, an average of IA years
apiece.
That is why old alumni and visi-
tors returning to the campus today
after an absence Of forty or fifty
years find there the same spirit Of
intellectual pioneering which has
been characteristic of the college
all through its 105 years of exis-
tence. The material side of the col
lege changes-and this has been
especially true during the admins
tration Of the present president.
Thurman D. Kitchin-but under
meath the surface is the same spirit
of striving to know ultimate truth
which has enabled Wake Forest COL
lege to make a notable contribution
to the cultural progress of the State
founded in 1884.
Heading the list in years of SER
vice are the six professors emeritus
or, as President Kitchen aptly
termed them, professors at large
with total teaching record of 257
years. Of these, James T.. Leka,
physics professor for So years, re-
tired in 1882; Benjamin F. Sledd,
English teacher for 81 years, Willis
R. Cullom, Bible professor for 46
years, Needham Y. Gulley, law
teacher for IS wears, and James w.
Lynch, Bible professor for 16 years,
retired in 1888; and J. Henderen
Gorrell, teacher of modern Ian
guages for 46 years, retired in 49,
80. Though these grand old "war-
horses" no longer give classroom in
struction, they are-by no means dis
associated with the college. On the
contrary, they have entered an era
of greater usefulness. :.
Of the present active faculty
members, Dr. George w. Pascha1 of
the Greek department has served
the longest, with total of 43 years.
He will be retired at the end of the
193940 session.
E. W. Timperlake, law professor,
and E. B. Earnshaw, bursar, have
served the college 33 years each.
Others who have been teaching
more than a score Of years are: H.
A. Jones, mathematics, 81 years; Or.
W. E. Speas, physics, % years; DR..
c. c. Pearson, social sciences, and
DR.. H. M. Poteat, Latin, 27 years
each; Or. H. B. Jones, English, 26
years; Dean D. B. Bryan, education,
and R. B. White, law, % years each;
President Kitchin, medicine, DR.. o.
c. Bradbury, biology, and DR.. A.
c. Reid, philosophy, % years each;
j. C. Carroll, mathematics, 81
years; DR.. c. S. Black, chemistry, 20
years.
1t is to these men and their
colleagues, leaders with high STAN
dards of scholarship and Christian
character, that credit is largely due
for the rapid growth Of the Wake
