The very feminine air of this frock will make Sure-fire hit with your friends. There's something be- guiling, appealing, about Claire Til- den's Pattern 979. First, notice the fluid princess lines that give you a slim- -as-a-reed figure. They are in- terrupted in front by a softly gath- cred, very attractive yoke; in back by a low curved seam that lets the fullness of the skirt swing Smartly. Buy colorful suede or ribbon belt. Or let soft, self-fabric sash come from either side of the front panels to tie in front or in a back bustle- effect. You'll like the little-girl look of the tiny buttons marching down the back. And you may want to add lace trim. An enchanting. dress that's perfect in light-hearted springlike fabric to wear for gay occasions. Why not use 8 sheer crepe in a becoming color, with the yoke in pastel or White--a smart combination. The Sewing Guide accompanying the pattern shows you what very easy dressn1aking task it is.
 Pattern 979 is cut in misses and women's sizes IA, 16, IS, 20, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and AZ. Size 16 requires SS yards 39 inch fabric and X yard contrast. .s

Tax Generosity

Citizens OF North Carolina paid
generously in tax settlements TO the
Stale this month, SO much 50 that
revenue from income lcv;cs is al
ready far ahead Of last year and
pointing with promise TO Il new all
time high Tor any fiscal period.
Totals probably will far exceed
budget estimates, which enhances
credit ratings and elevatcS the stand
! ing OF the State in its multitudinous
operations.
But folks who have strained their
| resources to pay, even if under COM
pulSiOn Of the law, will hope that
the abundance OF cash will not be
construed as license fer reckless
spending. There may be those who
are blaring their eyes and licking
their chops over this upturn and
about what they are going to do
with the surplus. This, of course,
Is not an intimation that 2ny one in
the State government or elsewhere
can walk in and lift out public cash
at Will. The budget will, or certain
ly should, see to that for the cur
rent fiscal year.
The fact that burdensome taxes
have yielded richly docs not mini
mlze the fact that many who have
palo did so only through sacrifice
and have applied to this purpose
money that was sorely needed for
personal or family necessities.
Takings by the State have reach
ed dizzy heights and have gone to
the point where the law Of diminish
, ing returns will soon become opera
! tive unless halt is called. Addi-
tlonal services to the people should
be undertaken only as the growth
and expansion of business and in

Then there is the effort pelhs

American bright leaf in Latin Anne
rica This. of course, cannot be
done overnight. But if Central and
South America can be lnuuced TO
use American leaf to the extent OF
creating the taste and the desire
that has grown up in Great Britain
and elsewhere on tie continent, 1t
would be an important factor IN
UnlIed States export trade IN the
leaf. Such a market would be en-
ceedingly valuable in any event, out
more than ever so if and when Etl-
ropean buying is resumed here
There IS room for some OPIUM

tobacco growers to use their divert

feed supplies for home consumption
is still greater than ever, and those
who pursue that policy will find at
harvest time that they have been

"And That's That"

The words are those of JIM Far

Democratic National Committee, anc
relate to h.; candidacy or the pres
,dency on his party'S ticket this year
NV name VIII be presented To lht
Democratic National Convention II

in very emphatic terms in an inter
view in Boston this week. Farley
it will be remembered. has garnel &C
handful of delegates from MaSSa
chuSettS. and apparently intends tt
hold on to them Tor whatever pur-
pose he may have.
Nobody will be fooled into be-
iieving that Mr.. Farley will get the
Democratic nomination. Whether
Mr.. Roosevelt said it or not-and he
definitely denied 1.-THE national
chairman'S religion will be an OBJ
staclc. Even if not in the same pro-
portion that like condition con-
tributed to Al Smiths undOing in
1928. it will be d factor Of so much
uncertainty the party Will be wise
not to toy with it to the extent OF as
Stunning the risk involved.
Mr.. Farley first of all is 4 politi-
clan. He more tnau any other one
man is probably responsible Tor MI
8ooSevelt'S climb in public lie. But
it may be another instance of where
4 man can do more for friend than
he can do for himself. Whatever
his purpose in gathering this panel
of delegates to the national conven-
ton, we find it exceedingly difficult
to believe that he seriously expects
10 receive the nomination. Whether
he is working under cover-or open
ly-for his chief or for some other
he may at the proper time choose to
assist is something known best to
him.
The expression chats that" is

comment at the present time. And,
while it is very interesting reading,
it is not likely to be the subject of
any sensational speculation unless
future events should add increasing
Significance to genial Jim'S" re-
marks.

OCT would be vastly less.
Those who seek by their unem-

Tobacco Optimism

Sources that should have basis
Tor their views still manifest a de-
gree OF optimism over prospects Tor
tobacco exports. Strength OF be-
liefS that are held is not sufficient to
cause any general relaxation OF con-
Germ over the situation. but does in
dictate that it is not an altogether
gloomy outlook.
Along with the brighter hueS are
the unfavora5le aspects. Due TO the
war. which has caused the trouble
in the first place, the higher freight
rates that have been imposed on
shipments abroad. and naturally so
because OF increased hazards, are an
important impeachment. There is
also the heavy British duty, but this
is nothing new and has not halted
shipments hitherto. and would not
now il there were no other o.
StacleS.
The same sources turn to the
silver lining, including d seemingly
well founded belief that Great
Britain will not be willing to get
along indefinitely without American
grown tobacco. for which smokers
have cultivated definite desire and
taste. 1t is also pointed out that
other countries simply cannot serve
Britain's complete requirements.
Their leaf may be tolerated as a
temporary makeShift. but will not
satisfy as d permanent substitute,
either as to quantity or quality.
American touaCCO. moreover, CAN
not be produced IN other countries
for any great length Of time. Our
seed may be used, but it goes ma
tive" in about three years, and after
that loses the characteristics that
identity it as American. Congress-

Why should God work it that way?

Live a life that's true and honest,
Love thy neighbor as thyself;

Give to needy from our shelf.

And our life on earth is done;
Well be glad we served our Lord,
Glad He sent His only Son.

What Is Segregation?

Segregation is the special Amer
lean means Of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public status.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality Of citi-
zenship, of freedom, Of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial OF
presence and of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as haVing been slave race
and make them forever the scorn Of
civil society.
at is a very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves TO aid and abet the idea by
self aggregation"
w. M. TROTTER.
