Parent Youth Conflict
Due to Rapid Changes

Conflicts between parents and
their children are an inevitable
product Of the rapid changes through
which civilization is now passing.

ed out by way of contrast. Hence
there is rarely any parent-youth con-

One Of the biggest sources of fam.
lily conflict today is that youth is just
gaining full powers at time OF
chronological change while parents
are losing theirs and need security,
said DR.. Davis. Most societies as.

there is inter-age competition since

Use Care When Buying
Bathing Suit for Summer

Don't buy a bathing suit without
a fitting! Here's one garment in
your summer wardrobe that needs
to be selected with the greatest
possible care all because Il
dramatizes the best features Of your
figure and makes something Of a
comic valentine of your less attrac-
tive ones.
Gone are the days when bathing
suit shoppers dashed up to the
bathing suit counter and hurriedly
demanded, want a white /.
size &c."
Smart shoppers now consider:
Bra-and-short suits expose a bare
midriff, so are for the lean-waisted
only.
Dressmaker types, with full
flared skirts are excellent for larger
figures.
All day swimmers find a rubber
bathing suit practical because It can
be wiped dry in a few minutes.
White wool needs spotless sur.
roundings.
Backless suits need good straight
backs pointed shoulder blades
beware.
Inside uplift bras are a must for
the full-busted figure.
Now 60 ahead pick out yours.

Firepro0f Cotton

Fireproof cotton-that is what the
department of agriculture promises,
after experimenting with a burning
match and an acetyline torch on q
pile Of cotton.
The burning match left a smudge
but didn't burn the cotton and the
torch burnt hole through the cot
ton, but the cotton around the hole
didn't even smudge.
w. ]. Heenan. an inspector of the
department, declared after the ex.

in his opinion it was the greatest
thing that has happened to the cot

He pointed out that the possibili-

has allotted $4,000 pounds Of this
cotton to a Charlotte manufacturing
company.

High Pressure
SellingOverP Phone

This week the Bertha merchants
were called over the telephone by
a high pressure advertising sales
man who was attempting to sell
a 1910 recommendation business
directory to be published in
neighboring paper. We talked to
some who turned it down and they
informed us he asked five dollars
for lingo" about their business
which perhaps would run about 8
or inches in length and be clut-
tered onto a single page with about
10 to Is other like ditties.
The Herald is proud to announce
to Bertha merchants that it has
never sponsored this racket of so
called advertising or any other
type where an outsider gets the
biggest percentage of the take.
However, the news" items which
this telephone solicitor" is selling
for good cash, The Herald will
write up and publish for it's Ber-
tina merchants free of charge any,
time they ask for them. And your
item in The Herald will go into the
territory which you are now serv-
ing and will be of greater value.
If this form of so called advertis-
ing was worth anything The Her
aid would sponsor it too. Again,
if it was worth while we believe
the solicitor could meet his Gus
toner face to face instead of hav-
ing to call him up over a telephone,
especially when he is making the
calls from a telephone right here
in Bertha.-Bertha Herald.

Light From Mans Face
Turned Into Electricity

One form of electron tube does
for the eye what the telephone does
for the ear. That phototube, as II
is called, can take the light reflected
from a mans face, change it into a
current OF electricity, send the cur.
rent over wire or through space,
and change it back again into an
image Of face.
Suppose the image were that of a
germ, and that it were magnified
millions of times. Wouldn't that
give us the most powerful of micro
scopes? DR.. Vladimir K. Zworykin,
the scientist who gave US television
as we know it today, thinks so, and
has built an experimental instru.
ment which, when it is perfected,
will enable science to penetrate still
more deeply into the unknown Of the
infinitely small.
The potentialities Of such an in.
vention surpass prediction. For ex.
ample, there are about 20 diseases
caused by viruses-among them in.
fantile paralysis, smallpox, chick.
enpox, the common cold, typhus, ra.
bies, measles, mumps and enceph.
alitis (the so-called sleeping sick.
ness). What are these viruses? No.
body knows. If they are germs that
lie beyond the microscope, as some
believe, the electron microscope
should reveal them.
When the electron microscope is
perfected-a matter of 10 years or
so-prepare yourself for another

already at work, youngster Of Is,

|Wilkie Warns of
Hatch Law Break

Colorado Springs Wendell L.
Willkie says one of his first acts, if
he is elected President, will be to

national committees 1910 campaign
book.
The Republican nominee told
press conference late yesterday
that such advertising purchases
were not only in violation of the
Hatch anti-politics law but also
overstepped the corrupt practices
act.
WILKES warning that all viola
tions of the Hatch or corrupt prac-
tees act Twill be relentlessly pros
ecuted" came shortly before a joint
press conference with former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover and a wish of
good luck" from Elliott Roosevelt,
the Presidents son.
During the press conference Will
kie was advised that Mr.. Roose-
velt's son was in his hotel, and he
picked up telephone.
The nominee promptly received
an acceptance to his invitation that
the Presidents son come up for a
non-political visit and the two men
and their wives chatted for half an
hour.
Referring to Chairman Edward
J. Flynn, Of the national Democrat
ic committee, Willkie said:
BOSS Flynn of the Bronx pro-
poses to continue the pernicious
and illegal practice Of extracting
political contributions from cor
porations through the purchases by
them Of advertisements in the
Democratic campaign book and the
purchases of such campaign books"
The nominee added:
II wish to warn all corporations
and their officials" that violations
of both the Hatch and the federal
corrupt practices acts will be re-
lentlessly prosecuted" If he should
be elected President.
IT hope that no corporate official
will be misled into the commission
Of this crime by assurances Of the
Democratic national chairman or
any of his representatives or by
any legal opinions rendered by any
official Of the federal government.
Anyone representing any politi-
cal party engaged in such practices
will be prosecuted. There will be
no favoritism shown in the enforce
ment Of the law"

Basic Idea Of Mexican
Tamale Is Ground Corn

When the Spaniards landed in

-tamalesl
The average American has no
idea Of the complications inherent
in and possible to a tamale. The
basic idea Is spiced, steamed,
ground corn, with meat center,
boiled in a jacket Of dried corn
leaves. But just as tamales are the
food Of fiestas in Mexico, the max.
ing Of them is like making a plum
pudding-nothing to be taken light
ly.
First you must think about
tamales months ahead and begin
saving corn husks, washing them,
drying them In the sun, storing
them. Something Of their sweet
odor will 60 into the taste of the
finished article later.
Then one must decide what sort
Of tamale to make. Chicken, pork,
beef, sweet coconut, green corn,
fish? Yes, all these filings are
used. Sometimes a big batch of
tamales is made Of several filings.
It Is common, when the household
settles down to the two-day task Of
constructing tamales, to make them
Of chicken, pork. coconut, or other
nuts and beans.
A real tamale feast includes
chicken and pork tamales, sweet
ones favored with cinnamon and
coconut, and hot chocolate or atole
to drink. Atole Is q thick beverage
made Of masa cooked with milk
and favored with cinnamon, or with
chocolate.
In the South, tamales are some
times cooked In banana leaves,
and now at elegant dinners In Mex

edible leaves, such as spinach.
A spring specially in many sec.
tons is sweet-corn tamales, with the
fresh sweet corn added to the meat
mixture, and the tamales steamed
In the fresh green husks.

Lion Is Favorite Emblem

Among the emblems Of royalty In

authority on Asia and author of 1.-THE
March Of the Barbarians. The uni.
corn is rare, but one of the great
favorites is the eagle, use Of which
is by no means confined to the Unit
ed States. The eagle flourished on
the Roman standards, and has its
Scandinavian traditions-which may
have bestowed it on the German i'm
perium in medieval times.
The crowned eagle of Poland is
even older. AS to the two-headed
eagle Of the Russian czars, Harold
Lamb learned last summer in Kiev
that 1t does not. as supposed, derive
from Poland. It was adapted from
Byzantium at the time the early
czars were proclaimed to be the sue
cessors in the line of Byzantine en-
perors. It did not, however, origi-
nate in Constantinople, but came
from Asia in a still earlier age
from Persia, where it had been a
heraldic device in the dawn of his
torical time.
In Persia Mr.. Lamb was hospit-
ably entertained by government Of
ficials and before departing he init
mated that he would like to leave
some small gift to be presented to
the shah. It was suggested that
copies Of his two books, "Genghis
Khan" and ''Tamerlane." might be
the most suitable gift for H. M. Reza
Pahlavi Shah. The author pointed
out that ordinary books would hard

cially for H. M. by the publisher,
Doubleday, Doran. The binding

agreed, "but that would mean the
insignia Of the Ion."
"And why not a non?" Mr.. Lamb
asked.
Something seemed to trouble the
Persians. Then 1t must be a Per.
sian hon." they warned, "and not
British"
Apparently the publisher was
equal to the task of ornamenting the
presentation copies with lions dis
tinctively Persian, because next
year the author learned that H. M.
had received the books with pleas

BY J, w. GALLAGHER

SALONIKA, Greece, Oct. 81
(Thursday)-R - British troops
have landed on Greek islands from
troop transports guarded by war
ships of the British Mediterranean
fleet, it was learned authoritative
ly today.
The number of British troops in
volved and the amount of equip
ment could not be stated, nor could
the location of the islands where
they made their landings.
Late last night it also was learn
ed that Greek troops holding the
italian offensive on their northern
frontier had taken 800 Italian pris-
oners.
Italy Checked
Italy's war machine, operating
in the mountains less than 100
miles northwest of this strategic
city, was reported here to have
been held by the stout defense of
the crack Greek Evzone troops.
Taking advantage of the lack of
Italian air activity, Greek military
authorities modified every vehicle
with wheels and rushed soldiers
and material to the front in a
manner reminiscent of the Paris
taxicab army of 1914.
The first Greek soldiers wounded
in the early action have begun to
arrive at the base hospitals here,
but the defenders casualties thus
far are considered surprisingly
few.
Here in Salonika, the people al
ternately watched the sea, hoping
for the approach of British war;
ships, and the skies, in fear of the
arrival of italian bombers. The
public is calm and orderl-.
The streets are filled with a great
coming and going of military We
hicles and in the shops and cafes
the public is expressing enthusiasm
for Britain and a determination
to defend this country.
All sorts of motor cars-not ex.
cepting taxicabs-are in military
service, carrying men to the front
to defend the Metaxas line-a line
against which the people here de-
clare that the Italians are making
little progress.
