She moved between them and to-

spacious lawn on the Merrifield es-

here was a mass of shrubbery left
to grow in its own irregular way,
affording fine contrast to the for

eled walkway, Gayle guided the
two boys.
In a gesture of intimate COM

They looked at it. Sun and breeze
made motion picture patterns

across the expanse of green lawn.
Breaks in the shrubbery revealed
flashes of flower color. A hum

Farewell To Guard

Wilmington's public farewell to its National
Guard units is set for 4 o'clock this after
noon. Special ceremonies are scheduled at the
citv hall. There will be brief addresses and
patriotic music. If we view the occasion in its
correct light, we will turn out, we private
citizens, en- masse.
These boys from our homes are not going
on a picnic. They are headed for the hardest
work of their lives. They are to be trained in
the grim business of defense. It may end in
war. Theirs is the task of learning how to
participate in war, if it comes, with such
valor and courage and efficiency that the is
sue will not be in question. America must be
preserved; theirs the job of preserving it.
There is little we s~tay-at-homes can do for
them, once they 60 to camp. While they are
here we can at least give them such a fare
well that none can doubt our hearts and pray
ers 60 with them, to sustain them in the Cruel
ling task ahead, and along the path of their
destiny, wherever it nay lead.
Let everybody attend the ceremonies at the
city hall this afternoon.

Payroll REIMBURSEMENT.

The mobilization Of the National Guard and
the approaching draft for military service are
to change the job situation so greatly that it
is time to give the matter serious thought.
Thousands of young men in gainful employ
ment are to be called from their work for
military training. In consequence thousands
Of jobs are to be filled and an equal number
of persons to be employed.
Who those thousands are to be is, primarily,
a matter for employers to settle for them
selves. But in view of the fact that there are
hundreds of thousands of unemployed men,
capable efficient, and idle through no fault of
their own, it is to be expected that employers
will weigh the economic situation carefully
and give jobs, as far as possible, to eligible
men with dependents to support.
Especially are they to be expected to re-
fuse employment to married women whose
husbands are working. Unmarried women,
particularly if they are the sole support of
parents or other relatives, fall into the cate
CORY with men in the same family circum-
tances.
1t would offer a good example for private
business II the government was the first to
revise It's employment rolls and purge them
OF all wives whose husbands are also receiv-
ing salaries. The Washington departments are

Canadian Loans

1t was perhaps inevitable, says the New
York Herald Tribune, that the break in the
free Canadian dollar last week should have
started speculation again as to whether the
United States government would not make
credits available in this country to the Do
minion."
The Herald Tribune believes that in the
present temper of the country it is hardly to
be doubted that a shortage of United States
dollars in Canada would not long be tolerated
here. This newspaper believes the real ques-
ton is whether Canada now finds it's supply
of funds in this country running so low as to
be Gripping on its war effort. 1t continues:
Published data on that score are not
complete, but off hand it would appear
that any United States dollar %stringency
in Canada was still some months at least
away. The tourist season, according to all
accounts, did not bring in the foreign ex-
change which Canada had hoped. The
weakness in the free Canadian dollar in
the last week, although perhaps traceable
to temporary causes, does not inspire con-
fidence in the strength of the Canadian
does find that it needs United States dol
lars, and this country begins to study ways
and means of filling this want, it is to be
hoped that the approach is a straightfor-
ward one, without any devious turnings to
accomplish a praiseworthy objective.

sor. Kay Kyser, from the studio
lots of Hollywood, where he is
making another p picture. "You
mean well, but every time you get
out of town you let your stomach
u away with you. +
.Take that trip you made to my
old home town of Rocky Mount,
N. c., last fall. You we're sup
posed to write a review of my
picture, That's R light t, You're
Wrong but what you wound up
doing was giving your readers a
pretty pic<:e of southern cook
ing. I judged from your piece that
while everybody else was at the
theater you stayed home and made
raids on the kitchen, where the
ham and the fried chicken were.
"Now I know we have good,
cooking in all our Southern states,
but, honest, you can get a decent
meal, sometimes, in other Sec
tons of the country. You can even
get good cooking in New York,
if you are willing to look for it.
HERES what I mean. When you
60 to Chicago, you always make
a b-line for Vars, because it has
a reputation for good Russian vic
tuals. The point I wish to raise is
that you waste ar awful lot Of
time going to Chicago when you
can get the same thing, and bet
ter, at the Russian Bear in N. Y.
It's the same in Milwaukee, or
Cincinnati, where German cooking
predominates. But the Blue Rib
bon tavern in Manhattan can give
you all the German cooking you
want, at no extra train fare.
1.-THE finest Mexican food 1 ever
ate was at a small dining car cafe
on the outskirts of Ell Paso, and
I pinned for it for months after
ward-until somebody led me in
to the Oxchili, in New York. The
same with Italian cooking. Even
Italy can't produce better Roman
loafs and lasagne than any of a
dozen well-known Italian restau-
rants just around the corner. Any
corner.
1.-THE old town doesn't do so bad
on Southern cooking, either. I do
not like the names of some of these
southern places, such as Nam
my's Chicken Farm, but then I
learned long ago never to Judge
a tune by its title, and after all
it's the way it tastes that counts,
and Mammy's has it. Then there
is the Pick-a-Rib, only about two
hops, as the crow flies, from your
door. Finest barbecued ribs and
oysters you ever saw. That hot
sauce they pour over it is won
derful. You get all you can eat,
topped off by coffee and a big
piece OF apple pie. AL for a buck.
However, if you still insist on
the works if you still aim
to go whole hawg with a menu of
pot ikker, Cor pone, biscuits, or
grits, candied yams, ham and chic
ken, and if you uine to eat same in
an atmosphere where the stress is
placed on taste, not fuss, then this
is your invitation to come on up
and see me some time. Well real
ly do it up right.
meanwhile, have a good time
on your vacation. I don't know
where you're going, but wherever
II is; all l a say is I hope the
meals are frequent and tasty.

State Press On Bankhead

In the death of Speaker William B. Bank.
head, says the Raleigh News and Observer,
''the nation loses a distinguished public serv-
ant" The Durham Herald concludes, 'his loss
is all the more to be regretted, for men of his
type can scarcely be spared in ordinary times
and even less in these days when the nation
is faced with more than ordinary problems"
The Herald thinks it So. typical of Bankhead
that he should have been stricken while on his
way to perform a service for his party. . But
Bankhead, we believe, with his love for his
greater love for his country and this love
transcribed party lines"
The Charlotte Observer believes it would be
an overstatement to designate Bankhead as an
eminent statesman. president Roosevelt" it
comments, probably goes the limit of just
proven friend of our system of government"
Indicating this newspapers attitude, despite
its failure to recognize him as an eminent
statesman, the Observer continues: HE (the
President could have properly remarked, al
so, that Congressman Bankhead was a power
full leader of his party and served it with an
energy and aggressiveness which ranks him
as among it's most influential factors of his
generation. . His death. . removes not
merely a useful public servant in the national
legislature, but a wholesome and powerful in
fluence in that BODY
Says the Burlington Times-News: HE was
typical in many ways of the American form
of government to which he gave much of his
life. His life reminds us anew that the future
for American youth rests pretty much with
the youth himself" Analysing the predis-
posing cause of his death, the Asheville Citi-
zen says: The tradition of American political
service, if conscientiously observed, may
make martyrs out of men. Such, undoubtedly,
was the case in the tragic death of William
Brockman Bankhead, whose devotion to his
country's welfare and his party's cause has
political leaders,"
The Citizen proceeds to tell the distressing
circumstances of his final seizure in Balti-
more, where he had gone, against the advice
Of his physician, to open the Democratic cam
paign in Maryland, and declares: Irregular
lty" was the keynote of William Bankhead's
career. Politics was the stuff and substance
Of his life. AS speaker of the house he had
arisen first from the important craftsmanship
Of the rules committee and then the dominant
position Of majority leader. No other man has
achieved those distinctions. But if his honors
were many, he deserved them"

There have been approximately 2 o0o nor.

At this rate it would require years for Hit.
