do some shopping and was on his
way home when death come. When
friends and neighbOrs found he had
not returned home on Sunday, they
hegan a search for him, finding him
where he had apparently sat down
to rest on the track. He had pack
age beside him and a daily paper,
which gave the appearance he was
preparing to read when stricken. Mr..
Schuyler owned a small farm near

several years until the past year

Cupying a part of the bungalow with

Students And Teachers To
Erect Buildings At Black
Mountain

RACK MOUNTAIN, Sept. e.
pNBlack Mountain college will be-
gin it's eighth year Monday as a
co-educationa1, cooperative instltu-
tion. with a building plan by which
students and teachers, under the
%s,,nervision of experts, will begin
construction of. permanent build
ings.y
of difficulty in raising
funds during the time war RACES
in Europe, the students and faculty
decided last May that the best pro-
cedure would be to undertake con-
struction themselves.
In carrying out this program the
college will emphasize the idea OF
making the practical work, which
will include a few hours every aft
ernoon, a more integral part OF the
life and educational program OF the
college.
Several of the faculty vacancies
have been filled with men who are
experienced in engineering and ar
| chitecture as well as in intellectual
or art work.
The college will have rs students
this year.
During the coming academic
year the college will occupy the
Blue Ridge association buildings
which it has leased since it began
in 1888. The new buildings will be
erected on the nearby Lake Eden
property, which was bought in 1887.
The construction plan includes
insulating and installing heating
equipment in the present L a k e
Eden buildings, which are to be
used eventually for living quarters,
dining rooms, etc. The principal
new building will be for student
and faculty studies.
The college was founded by q
small group of teachers and stu
dents interested in the idea of 8
co-educational institution where
new methods of education might
be tried. 1t has grown from &
student body of 10 and the faculty
has increased from ten to 20.
There is no board of trustees
and control is democratic. Tho
acting director or rector is elected
high year by the faculty and stu
dent moderator. The present rec
tor is W.. Robert Wunsch, a grad
uate of the University of Nor:t
Carolina.
The four student officers attend
most faculty meetings and the stu
dents have representation on many
faculty committees. Students ano
faculty share in the work of main.
tanning the college.

BY HENRY AVERILL
RALEIGH, Sept. 4.-Withdrawal
of Lee Wilson of Davidson from
the race for president of the North
Carolina Young Democratic club
makes it look as though DR.. Ralph
w. Mcdonald has picked another
winner in North Carolina and has
accordingly advanced his political
prestige considerably.
The doctor appears to be grow
ing smarter and smarter in the
matter of being on the right side.
He solt-talked the Hoey admins
tration into a job as associate ex-
tension director at the University
of North Carolina: started a n d
pushed through with a whoop and
a '.holler'' the North Carolina-for-
Roosevelt movement; got himself
sent as a delegate to the Chicago
convention where he seemed to be
the fair-haired boy of the National
Administration; and now has been
definitely lined up with the move
ment to make Ralph Gardner of
Shelby president of the Y. DIS. a
movement which the Wilson with
drawal makes almost certain to
succeed.
Even his bitterest opponents (and
there are still plenty of them) con-
cede that Doctor Mcdonald is
learning the great game of North
Carolina politics faster than any
other neophyte who ever took it up.
He doesn't make the same mistake
twice and is never out on the same
limb more than once.
Come 1914 and Mcdonald will
start the gubernatorial campaign
with better prospects than when
he announced in 1896. That is, il
he doesn't take it into his head to
run against Robert r. Squirrel.

1914.

Nazis Are Bombing
Ry TAYLOR HENRY

BIRMINGHAM, England, Sept
4-R-Despite heavy attacks by
Nazi bombers, the williamsburg
lands industrial heart and center
of her war production-appears tt
have suffered only slight damage.
I have just completed a survey
of Birmingham and its surrounding

a rough estimate, the output 1o1
the whole area has been reduced
no more than five per cent.

damaged that production ceased
and these were small plants.
While others have been hit dur

pears to have been comparatively
small and production has continued
almost uninterrupted.
NV estimate is based IN obser-
walton of the damage done by

Medical Care
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D

~ AO
What is the benefit today for
a child to visit a farm?
According to DR.. Allen G. Ire
land, Health Education Director OF
New Jersey, it is in seeing where
the food he eats comes from. In
this day of living out of cans this
is not surprising. A summer trip
to the farm may be made the basis
for an all winter long course OF
study in food values and dietary
hygiene. It's one thing to be told
about the content of milk, quite
another to see the actual milking
process and bottling. One thing to
hear about green vegetables, quite
another to see the plants growing,
being tended and gathered.
Food Likes And Habits
AS a matter of actual expert
ence, teachers and mothers say
that these trips make a tremen-
dous difference in a child's food
likes and habits. To see a plant
growing arouses curiosity about it
that is never stirred by seeing it
cooked on a plate. So a trip to the
farm broadens the taste in the
best sense-the taste for differ
ent foods.
How fast does the blood circu-
late and how can this be deter
mined.
The rapidly with which blood
moves about would have aston
ished old William Harvey, who dis
covered that the blood circulated.
He thought it made a complete
circuit in about thirty minutes.
The correct time is closer to that
many seconds. A drop of blood
at the elbow in the arm goes to
the right side of the heart through
the lungs, to the left side of the
heart and to the nose or tongue
in about ten seconds. The method
to prove this is to put a small
amount of ether in the vein of
the arm and then when the ex-
detrimental subject first smells or
tastes the ether the circuit has
been made. Other methods which
get away from the possibility of
error from a subjective sensation
like taste Dr. smell are also used.
Do vegetables that you grow in
your own garden really taste bet
ter than those you buy at the
store?
Yes. This question is a post
script to the first one. The reason,
of course, is psychological. or
rather psychic physiological -
emotions stir the digestive juices
to more secretion, the knowledge
that these are your own vegetables
makes your mouth water for them.
Questions And Answers
L. SIS the regular use OF
margarine detrimental"
Answer-Certainly not. Lulu G..
Graves, in her book Foods in
Health and Disease" says: Mar
garine consists of vegetable and
animal fat. Has practically the
same fuel value as butter and is
as easily digested. Vitamin con-
ten CA and D. equally good in both.
Shortening power and keeping
qualities as good as butter, and
margarine products stand high in
cleanliness and purity"

Book Highlights

If you long for the good oil
days of the Gay Nineties,
Mildred Walkers 1.-The Brewer
Big Horses will fill your want
to perfection. Here is a story o
midwestern America at the turf
of the century, told in a woman:
battle against social intolerance
and her fight to live her W life
It might seem a bit unusual FOL
Mildred Walker, daughter of {
Philadelphia clergyman, to write
a story of a bravery, but she has
done just that-and a good jot
of it, too. Miss Walkers last
novel, DIR. Norton's Wife" was
well received. 1.-The Brewers Big
Horses" should do as well.
Sara B~olster's society" family
would have been shocked h a q
they ever learned that she, as q
child, rode a brewery wagon,
drawn by the big horses. They
were more shocked when she an
nounced her engagement to Viii
helm Henkel, a young. doctor, son
of the towns brewer.
The family would have pre-
ferred that she marry PAUL h e
neighbor boy with whom she had
grown up. But Paul was too ir
responsible, too interested in Paul
Wilhelm promised love and de-
votion-besides, she was in love
with him.
For a while she is happy. Then
Wilhelm is forced to give up medi.
cine, take over management OF
the brewery. His death-killed by
those same big horses - leaves
Sara to fight her battles alone.
She decides to run the brewery.
There are too many families de-
pending upon it to allow it to be
closed. Here again she meets de-
termined opposition, from Will
jelm's sisters as well as her own
family, but she persists and wins.
She could not fight prohibition.
Even the reforms she instituted
in brewery management, her ef-
forts to make beer a society bev-
erage, could not cope with tn e
forces that made the United States
dry. But even in her defeat she
achieves the promise of additional
financial success with her beer
garden restaurant. 3

Tompson Assumes Duties
As n. {. Synod Moderator

HIGH POINT, Sept. 4.-R-The
Rev. w. T. Tompson, professor OF
religious education at Union semi
nary, Richmond, Va, assumed his
duties today as moderator Of the
North Carolina Presbyterian synod.
The post was handed over to him
during a day filled with talks, re-
ports of religious education and a
memorial service. Principal speaker
was the Rev. Frank c. Morgan OF
Concord.
The Rev. r. H. Stone of Jeffer-
son, retiring moderator, told the
Presbyterians placed emphasis on
education and not evangelism. Men,
bers of the faith, he said, believe
in large central churches but neg
lect the outposts.

RELIEF CASES
SHOW INCREASE

Ninety-eight urban areas in the
United States had an increase in
July over June of l per cent in the
number of general relief cases and
an increase of 8 per cent in their
cost.
But the remarkable thing was
that in quite a number of towns,
while the cases increased nuneri-
cally, the cost was less. Probability
is this was because needy did not
get coal and that more fruits and
vegetables were supplied than
meat and other heavy and costlier
foodstuffs.
Data received by the u. S. Social
Security Board came from 30
states and the District of Column
bia. The board defines general re-
lief as including all state and local
relief in cash and goods extended
to the needy, except public assist
ance to the aged, blind, dependent
children and aid to veterans.
