tribution Of surplus commodities Il
the county. The $1,000 appropria
ton made by the county for FOO
stamps is in a revolving fund ant
will eventually return to the coun
ty. Many of the other items show
in the budget r needed in tn
first year of operation of the offic'
but will not require any expendl
lures in subsequent years.
Airport Project
The last item covered by the gen
eral fund is the airport. The coun
ty has appropriated $4,000 in casf
to finance it's 5000, 900 WPA project
there and has made no division o.
the fund, showing in what manner
it will be spent. Last year SIG,
959. 10 was spent, $8,758.13 of tina
being used to purchase equipment
and machinery with which the
county plans to carry out its WPA
program this year.
The road fund budget is simple.
1t contains but one item: Stockade
fire insurance, $153.04.
Welfare Department
Principal increase in the budget
for the Welfare department is a
new item of $75 to cover the cost
Of workers in the department when
they attend a welfare school as re-
CURED by the state.
Federal Aid
In looking at the county budget
for the year the citizen and tax
payer should remember that all
the funds shown as contemplated
expenditures do not come into the
county treasury from tax levles.
For example the old age assistance
budget shows the county will ex.
pend $84, 900 during the next fiscal
year as against $73,510 last year
But of the expenditure contemplate
ed by the county this year, only
$40, 700 will come from the taxpay-
ers of New Hanover county, the
remainder coming into the county
treasury from state and federal
governments.
Likewise is this true of the bud
get for dependent children's assls-
lance, in which of the $40, 512 ex-
penditure anticipated for this fiscal
year, only $40, 1913 will come from
the taxpayers of New Hanover
county, with the rest coming from
the state and federal governments.
Port Authority Planned
The anticipated formation OF a
Wilmington Port Authority to fur
Their efforts to secure publicly-own-
ed terminals here and to manage
them if and when they are secured
and a doubling of the appropria-
ton for travel expense are tn e
principal changes in the budget OF
the Wilmington Port commission
for this year. Last year the COM
mission spent only $7,883.82 a n d
this year it is authorized to expend
$11, ITO. 70. This is the sixth and
last year in which, under a vote
by the people, the county has lev
led a tax for this commission. In
no year has the commission ex-
pended as much as it has received
from the tax levy. Whether it will

Decision in the Strange Case of
"WHAT PRICE MARRIAGE"

tNUIIIllluCu HULL II axe IlkItI
THE
And the Court of Appeals Of the
State of New York upheld a deci-
sion in the lower court refusing the
plea of Arthur Schraft, to annul his
marriage with Lula Mae Barrel.
How much romance and how
much real love there was between
these two people is not for Us to
say, but from the record it seemed
to be all on the side of Lula Mae.
She seemed to be sincere, and she
undoubtedly thought she could
raise the money through her uncle,
enough to set her fiance up in
business.
In closing its arguments, the
court said: This man says that
he married this woman to get
5000. Suppose it was only a hum
dredl Where will the courts draw
the line? Deception may sometimes
lead to annulment, but the courts
have not yet gone so far as to
recognize marriage as a mere mat
ter of bargain and sale"
And in another paragraph, I'VE
will not annul a marriage because
one of the parties is disappointed
in the material wealth of the other"
And finally, "The plaintiff failed
to exercise business judgment or
caution. He has only himself to
blame for his predicament."
This is taken from a true case.

Leatherneck language

Leatherneck language No writer of fact or fic- tion fully mastered the vernacuar of the U S. Marines They speak strange argot familiar enough to the initiated but often confusing to civilian ears. Their lexicon includes words they have learned aboard ships or in their travels abroad Aoa ashore the soldier calls kitchen galley the floor deck and his cap tain the skipper It matters not to the Marine if his barracks is located miles from the sea- he steps outside the gate of naval reservation he is ashore. During the World War the soldiers addeded to their lingo number of French words, few of which taned Bits of Haitian patrols Spanish gathered dur ing their occupations of Hait Sano Domingo, or Mic aragua are still in use Of late number of Oriental terms have in vogue due to the fact that several hundred Marines have service in China in recent years Sea soldier slang often baffes the writer who at tempts to make the language of his charac ters appear genuine. The late Rudyard Kipng famous English author had no such difficulty. Most of his mi- tary characters cockney terms characteristic of the Whitechapel District of London, where many British '"Tomnnies formerly recruited In any Marine bar racks may hear the soft southern accent the nasal tWang of the eastern Yankee, western draWl Mar nes collectively have particular accent though much of their parlance originated in foreign lands.

BURIED WEALTH
 AMOUNTS TO $675
Widow, Brother of De- ceased Man Finds It Aft=
 CT Short Search

Middleboro, Mass, April 2-(UP) Search for a dead mans buried treasure in garden here early to- day yielded a rusty coffee can con- taining $675 in neatly folded bills.
 Attorney Walter J. Macdonald ot Brockton, administrator of the es- tate of the late Enos Drake who died six months ago, had obtained authority for the search from Pro- bate Judge Harry K. Stone yester- day when $12O0 of the estate could not be found.
 Macdonald, with Drake's widow and brother Albert, rose before daylight, armed themselves with a pick and shovels and drove to the spot where Albert said his brother had told him the money was buried
 The brother recalled that Enos had mentioned a spot "near a stone wall and between two grapevines. " Such a spot was found and after an hours digging, MacDonald's DICK struck metal object.
 They dug up 8 pound coffee can Inside was tobacco tin, containing thirty-three $2o bills, a $10 bill and a $5 bill.
 The search then was called oil since Edward said Enos had told him that all the money buried was in one can. The money was the proceeds from a real estate dea. two years ago. Nobody seems te know why it was buried.
 Macdonald said the estate was te be dicided equally among the widow the brother and a stepson of Drake He did not disclose other details ol the will nor the estates total value
 Filing of the will, delayed because of the missing cash, was expected to take place today.

War, Liberty, Travel And Saner Styles On Tap For This Decade

Where are we going in the next decade? Stephen Longstreet, auth or of the best-seller Decade" gives his idea of the answer in this article written especially for NEA Service and the Waterbury Democrat. He spent five years digging into newspaper files for his source book on the 30's, pub lished by Random House, and it is on this study that he bases the following forecast for the next decade.
 BY STEPHEN LONGSTREET
 The decade from 1940 to 1850 will not be any different from the thou sands of decades the world has seen before. It is not a lonely little dec ade marked off in space time, but a tail on the great kite of decade loaded history.
 The pattern will be worked out. The world has lost hope of peace, of kindness, of love and goodwill to man. That is not new.
 The next decade will see war, will see death, will see the long slant of bayonets go marching off into the sun.
 But hope and liberty and the right of all men-no matter what their race and creed-to live and breed will not perish. The decade will NOT see the mad men take over the world. They will die by the sword they sharpened; and hope will again be with us.
 True, in some future decade, we may see the whole mad, stupid business repeated.
 WILL THE MOVIES ABSORB ALL ART?
 It will be a great decade for the common man, once he is free of the yoke of the WarlordS. Art, music, writing will improve. Who knows the motion picture may take over all art form, and men no longer will write books, paint pictures or mark music on paper.
 Styles will be saner. Paris will die out as fashion center. Fabrics will not wrinkle so easy.
 The cities will stop growing. People will move back to the soil. The danger of air raids will be too great to spend millions on great buildings; industry will hide its plants and men will go back to Gods green earth-each family with a house and some ground for a gar

GOSS APPORVES OF RECREATION
Sends Letter of Endorse ment to Members of Na=
 tiOnal Association

America has much to gain in supporting a movement which helps to build health, mold character, pre- vent crime and delinquency, reduce accidents to children on the streets, and provide a happier and more abundant life for families, stated John H. Goss today.
 Writing local members of the Ma tional Recreation Association, he reminded them that this organiza- ton was just such a movement. "Educators are the first to tell us that the greatest lessons are not always taught in the classroom" he said. "Clergymen insist that whole some living points the way to bet ter civilization. Business men say community recreation has real economic values.
 "The National Recreation Asso- citation is dedicated to these prin- ciples. Through it's representatives and services, communities every where, including our own, are being made better places in which to live" !" concluded MT. Goss.
 The National Recreation Associa- tion is an agency for the extension and improvement of community recreation facilities and activities. Its major activities include the field service of district representatives and specialists, the making of gen. eral surveys and special studies, the holding of a national congress and district conferences, conducting training institutes, conducting a correspondence and consultation bureau, personnel service, and the preparation of books, pamphlets, bulletins and the monthly magazine Recreation. The association serves as the national headquarters and clearing house of community recre- ation in the United States. It is sup ported by memberships and contri- buttons.

 HOPE FOR DUST BOWL, MAYBE NONE FOR GOLD
 People will travel again. We will see the first autoairplane in many garages.
 Television will work better, but people will still go to ball games anG fish. The dust bowls will be forests; prize fights and hunt deer and the rivers will be banked against floods.
 The next decade may make gold so worthless that children's toys will be made from it. Nonsense? Perhaps, but we have most of the worlds gold. If the nations of the world should discard it-and they are turning more and more to barter we would be holding a yellow soft metal that would be almost worth less, except to dentists.
 FREE PRESS COUNTERS THREAT FROM RADIO
 Another menace is radio. It mem aces freedom of the press. The newspapers must remain free and daring. The newspapers are the last hope of free thought. Radio is loud monster which in the wrong hands can do great damage.
 But there is no danger as long as the daily newspaper is free to print and gather news in it's own way.
 do not think the dreadful fear people have of the future will come true. There have always been times of storm, times of turmoil and la ment. They need not always be. Ii we follow the ideals of those who built America and are true to the ideals that race, creed or color dc not set any men above the rest ot us, then we will see great decade from the years 1940 to 1850.
