WHAT, A RoB1NI
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good evening.

WHAT, A ROBINl Perhaps you've seen the first robin, Then your sight is better than ours, Seems like robins are almost as near As Springs early budding flowers. When you hear twitter at dawn Don't trouble to jump out of bed, For the bird you seem to hear Is not robin red Perhaps you've seen the first robin, Who has slipped in despite the cold, The first robin story is always good If it's .convincingly told. Perhaps you've seen the first robin And heard its chirp nearby, If you have then we say You've got very keen eye.

"the hard fact remains that no mill

He pointed out that despite the in.

Peace Offers Seen
Although the rescue of the bottled
up Allied army remained Britain's
greatest concern, informed London
observers said they looked for an
early attempt by Adolf Hitler to di.
vide England and France with separ'
ate peace offers. These factors were
mentioned:
1. Threat would be made OF Italian
entry into the war to induce accep-
lance.
2. The French would be threat
ened with a smashing assault by
land and air against Paris.
8. The British would be asked to
accept Hitler's terms or face total
war;" presumably meaning invas'
ion.
There was no indication any.
where that the British or French
would heed separate peace pro-
posals.
Meanwhile the days develop
ments included the statement from
a competent source that Italy had
intimated she considered British
Italian negotiations on contrabano
control as broken off. This came
in spite of an agreement on prin'
ciple last week that an easing Of
contraband control over Italian
ships might be worked out salts
factorily.
The nation, while calling fol
more planes to turn the tide o:
war, steeled itself for the expect
ed casualty list from Flanders.

doubt that Italy will enter the war
on Germany's side was largely re-
moved today by Premier Musso-
lini's veto of further negotiations
with Britain for adjustment of Al

The only doubt left in the minds
of diplomatic observers is j u t
when Italy will line up as a bel
ligerent with her partner in the
Rome-Berlin axis.
There are some who believe TIA
ly will plunge into the war within

that Mussolini will wait two or
three weeks, perhaps opening first

Back at her desk as dean of women
at Woman's college today after her
first conference with the Presi-

the organization of the double job

Greensboro.
Miss Elliott will return to
Washington next Thursday for an

make no statement concerning her
post here. For the time being she
is on a part time basis in Wash
lngton, and will work in close CO.

Wide interest among both whites
and negroes in the demonstration

homes, 246-unit negro housing de.

ty of the City of Wilmington, was
reported last night by members
of the housing authority staff.
The three and one-half room flat
at the corner of Fourth and Nixon
streets was opened to the public
Thursday morning. Last night 693
visitors had registered in the guest
book.
Quilted to demonstrate that old
odds and ends of furniture and
cheap materials could be utilized
to furnish a home pleasantly and
tastefully for little money, the flat
was furnished even to dishes on
the dinette table for $68. OIL. This
outlay represented both the cost
of the furniture and the materials

computed, as tenants will be ex-
pected to furnish that themselves.
Most of the labor was furnished
by the National Youth Admins

Interest of negro leaders in the
housing authority's demonstration
ct how a modern home may be
created for little was indicated by
the following letter received by
H. R. Emory, executive director
of the -rousing authority, from DR..
Robert r. Taylor, retired vice
principal of Tuskeegee Institute:
Il was intensely interested in
the article appearing in the Morn

You are to be congratulated
On this very wise and practical
plan of home furnishing"
The demonstration unit will be

the housing authority announced.
Applications are now being taken
from prospective tenants, who are
limited to family groups with in

JUNIOR CHAMBER
RECEIVES CHARTER
Continued from Page One)

States Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
Rodney Breeze, president of the
Wilmington club, accepted the
charters with thanks and with a
short talk in which he said: Il
hope the members realize the ire
mendous responsibility they a r e
undertaking and make efforts to
deserve it."
Dean Carroll, who started with
the economic situation in the 70's
and brought it up to the days of
the new deal, was introduced by
Bernard Solomon, national coun-
cilor, who acted as POSTMASTER.
He drew an analogy between a
simple problem in economics and
the factors in this nations trade
and industry which combined to
bring about the depression of the
''Threadbare Thirties."
The deans only mention of poll
tics came when he said: Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, shortly after he
was elected in 1882, came to grips
with the economic situation.
"And don't you think the Re-
publican party, if it comes into
power in 1910, will change many
of the policies now in existence.
They won't. They can't"
It all started, the dean said. in
1870. At that time the farmers in
the nation began to clamor for
government recognition and began
to ask for scientific experimental
ton into farming methods.
SAT first" he said, I'VE said the
atmosphere of Chapel Hill would
be contaminated with a course in
plants and animals"
He continued, saying finally the
State college of agriculture and
engineering was opened, leading to
a drastic increase in farm output
and a decided improvement in
farm methods. This, he said, for
a moment threatened to plunge
farm products into low price chan.
nels, but the first World war start
ed at this time and created a great
demand for our farm products.
But after the war, we became
"a creditor instead of a debtor
nation"
The dean said one of the more
deep seated causes for the pres
ent depression when the
United States erected tariff walls
against European manufactured
goods-the only medium through
which our debtors could pay us
And it all led up to 1929-the
year when the chickens finally
came home to roost."
Describing democracy as a lux
,rry, Dean Carroll said, ''neverthe'
less it is a luxury I would Gle for
He continued, however, adding
that the weakness of democracy
is in it's liberality-that is, it is
difficult in a democratic govern
ment for all forces to be united fol
a common cause.
In conclusion, he strongly urgec
that in time of war we be wholly
united under one head, but at the
conclusion we should Immediately
ask for the return of our liberties
Democracy is a way OF life ad'
justed to peace-not to war. Sc
long as we are able to criticize
our leaders without fear, there is
20 danger of a dictatorship assert
ing itself"

adjourned to Lumina, w 9
