. Nationwide Protest
Against War Planned
By Youth Congress
Campaign for District
Suffrage Also Mapped
At Closing Sessions

Leaders of the American Youth
Congress quietly closed four turbu-
lent days in Washington late yes
terday with tea at the White
House and Immediately made plans
for a Nationwide protest April 6
against possible American entry into
the European war.
On that date, the anniversary Of
American entry into the World War
the Youth Congress plans to set
up ballot boxes in as many cities
and hamlets as it can organize. to
induce the public to vote against
war. Meetings and demonstrations
also are planned.
Pushing forward its anti-war
ideals, the congress plans to spread
its principles around the world,
through message sent to the youth
Of So nations belonging to the World
Youth Congress. The message de-
mands an end to Slaughter of our
generation"
Also outstanding among the plans
adopted here yesterday will be a
campaign conducted throughout the
States, with members of Congress,
in favor of suffrage for the District
Of Columbia.
Campaign to Be Pushed.
This campaign, it was explained
by Joseph Cadden of Peoria, ILL.,,
national secretary of the congress,
will be pushed with vigor. Impetus
was given the cause by Howard
Ennes, chairman of the Washington
Youth Council, who pointed to the
lack of a sufficiently large municipal
auditorium to house the Youth Con-
gress. If Washington had suffrage
he said, the voters would obtain an
auditorium large enough to accom-
modate such conventions. Next year
the Youth Congress plans to return
In greater numbers.
Explaining that the general idea
OF votes for Washington had beel,
q policy of the Youth Congress for
some time, Mr.. Cadden said today
Mr.. Ennes had spurred the organi-
cation to new activity. We're all
for that" he said.
The Washington council is making
elaborate plans to implement the
declared policy of its own con-
gress. Communications probably
will be sent to the 63 national or
ganizations and so local councils
comprising the congress, Mr.. Ennes
said. The membership of constitu-
ent bodies of the organization. he
explained, is between 100000 and
5000, 0,000-which should give strong
backing for the suffrage movement
here.
To Appear at Hearings.
Planning to support the Murray
youth bill, Secretary Cadden said the
Congress would send a delegation OF
its officers here to appear at hear
ings promised by Chairman Thomas
of the Senate Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor next month.
While there was some lively de-
bate behind closed doors of the "as-
sembly" of the congress yesterday
at the Public Health Service audi
torium, the greatest disturbance o1
the day from delegates came in the
gallery of the House of Representa-
tives. 20
The delegates were rebuked by
Representative Rayburn, Democrat
of Texas, in the Speakers chair, fol

Appeals For A
Safe July 4th

A plea to the people of North
Carolina to make the Fourth of
July this year a holiday instead
of a horror day" has been made
by Ronald Hocutt, Director of the
Highway Safety Division.
Pointing out that nine people
were killed on North Carolina
streets and highways over the
Fourth of July week end last
year, Hocutt said:
Each year America chooses
the Fourth Of July to stage a
jamboree of carelessness. This
mass slaughter on Independence
Day can be stopped if every one
of us uses caution and common
sense. The things that cause
these tragedies are things we can
control - haste, self:shness, ths
desire to show off and thought
lessness. I call upon the people
of North Carolina to join in a
new Declaration of Independence
independence from annual tri-
butte of many lives needlessly sa-
crificed.
Life is cheap today on the bat
tlefields of Europe, but it is still
precious in North Carolina. To all
who next week plan holiday

New 'ISMO-TOne
Dodge Cars Are
Being Shown Now
Body Painted In One Color
And Rest In Another
Shade. Smart Effect.

First showing of a new Dodge
model. in which a novel two-tone
motif is carried out in an .attrac-
tive manner, is now being made
by Duncan Motor Company,
Dodge dealer here.
The new two-tone Dodge is a
four-door. sedan finished in color
combinations in which the body
appears in a. lighter hue while
radiator, hood, tenders and stone
guards are done in a harmonizing
darker shade.
The belt molding of the new
Dodge is of a distinctive charac-
ter, being wide, smooth, polish
ed chromium strip extending from
the side of the hood to, and COM
pletely around, the rear contours
of the body.
Outside windshield holdings
and the horizontal strip dividing
the radiator grilles are OF chro-
MUM. Inside door trim panels
are lined with double stainless
steel bars; chromium lines the
ventilating wings and the rear
quarter frames, both inside and
out. The joints between tenders
and body are beaded with plated
stainless steel. The wheel equip
ment includes white-wall tires
and chromium wheel rings and
disks.
"You know" said Mr.. Duncan
in speaking of the new two-tone
Dodge, "a car like that is a good
deal like a 1ady's new evening
dress. No matter how much
man tries to describe it's dazzling
style and beauty, its intriguing
color effects, the quickness with
which it catches the onlooker's
attention-words will not create
its true picture. You have to see
it with your own eyes. That's
what a woman does every time.
"Similarly, to get the true pic
7ture of the new two-tone Dodge,
one has to see it; that is the only
way to realize the color harmo-

ished in Aircruiser Red is offset

Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: Does pruning have
any effect on the size of dahlia
blooms?
ANSWER: Yes. The number
and size of blooms will depend
upon the number of lateral
branches you allow to grow. If
very large bloom is desired, the
center stalk should be left and
all laterals pinched out except
the bottom two or three sets or
the center stalk may be pinched
out leaving about three sets of
.laterals at the bottom of the
plant. These will be forced out
quickly and will give a number
of large blooms. AS these laterals
develop remove all secondary
laterals except the lower pair
and continue this practice until
frost.

A.: This depends upon the hard
mess of the different vegetables
and the time required for matu-
rity. Tender vegetables must be
planted in time to produce q
crop before killing frosts occur
and should be given little more
time to mature during the fall
months than is required during
warm weather. The latest safe
dates for planting the different
vegetables crops in the various
sections of the state are given in
Extension Circular 1872 and CO.
pies of this may be obtained free
upon request to the Agricultural
Editor at State College.
O.: When should n 1 select my
tobacco seed plants?
A.: Seed plants should be Sc
lected just before the tobacco is
stopped and all plants so selected
should be typical of the variety
planted. The leaves must be we'll
spaced on the stalk and the plant
stand out above the average. The
plants should be bagged in IA
pound paper bag just before the
first bloom to prevent crops pol
lination. Bud worm bait should
be applied to seed pods before the
bags are put on. When the tobac-
CO is matured, the best seed
plants should again be selected.

Churchill spoke sarcastically of

He appealed for the friendship Of
the French people in the battle

empire have bound themselves to
the task of cleansing Europe from

English confidence is high as

British people are bearing up we'll

Beat Life Out OF Hitler
Don't imagine" he said, that we
English seek to take your ships and
colonies. We seek to beat the life
and soul out of Hitler and Hitlerism
That alone, that for all time and
that to to the end.
I'VE do not covet anything of any

Draft Officials
Sorting Cards For
r Registration

The four local draft boards were
using the aldermanic chamber at
the city hall for temporary head
quarters today, pending the ar
rival Of additional furniture and
equipment necessary before per-
maflent quarters can be estab-
lished in the former welfare de-
partment Offices.
Joseph Bowen, ST., chairman OF
one of the four boards, said to-
day that appointment Of clerical
assistants is being delayed until
word is received from Washing
ton or Hartford as to the 1inan-
cial allotment for this city. Mem
bers of the boards serve without
pay, but the seIeCtive service act
makes provision for the employ
ment Of full-time clerical help on
salaried basis.
The boards may each have
their own clerical help, or it may
be decided, for the sake Of econ
Omy, to pool the clerical help Of
all the boards.
Today the board members, with
city employees as assistants, con-
tinued with the sorting Of the
1880 registration cards that were
signed by young men from 81 to
SO, here last Wednesday. Later
the cards will receive numbers,
which will decide, after national
lottery at Washington, the order
in which questionnaires are sent
to the registrants.
