Allied Troops Advancing.
British and French troops, with
tanks, artillery, motorcycles and
engineers, were observed moving
through Belgium this morning. But
the government kept strict censor

on the situation at the front and
other military information.
Refugees from the frontier areas
arrived In Brussels throughout the
night, many Of them riding In open
trucks.
Militant Belgium proclaimed. that

The army, under the direct COM

III, backed UP Gen. Denis pro-
nouncement. In all the border area,
it said, the German invaders were
halted.
Behind the lines, Belgian defend

troops and at the same time police
were alert against any fifth coll

All Germans in the country were
arrested. Leon Degrelle, leader Of
Belgium's Rexist Fascist) party,
and Stat Declerq, Flemish extremist,

Crowds of Belgians, reused by the
fighting words of their King that
"The Belgian cause is pure" jeered
angrily as police vans carried Ger

British and French fighting men,
brothers-in-arms of the Belgians in

Wheels of Draft

Secretary of War Stimson, in

reached into the fish bowl and
drew therefrom a gelatine cap

Hicks of Hazel, Dickinson Coun.

ma Hill of Dickinson County was
included in the group holding No.

the National CONSUMPTION Act

the greatest number of people e.

EVERY HOME is BUILT
AROUND ITS WINDOWS
Windows Determine Wall Space

Second, the arrangement of your
rooms, the arrangement of your
furniture, is all done around the
windows. Available wall space is
largely determined by windows. On
the outside the architectural har-
mony is largely determined by the
placing or grouping of windows.
Thus you see how important
windows are just from appearance
alone. But appearance, important
as it is, is only half of the story.
Here are some of the other
things that a good window should
do:
Keep cold air out. Keep warm
air in. Keep cool air in. Keep hot
air out. Keep insects out. Keep
dirt and dust out Work freely un
der all conditions without rafting.
Provide ventilation when open. Be
watertight when closed. Let light
in. Give clear vision out. Add
beauty to your home. Harmonic
with your style of architecture.
No other architectural feature in
. house must perform so many
functions.

Spanish Mains Location
Was Puzzle to Travellers

The exact location of the Spanish
Main long puzzled travellers and
writer's. Some applied the name to
the entire Caribbean. others thought
it designated the mainland border
ing that sea.
In the heyday of the conquista-
dores and pirates, the old Spanish
Main comprised not only the Carib-
bean sea, but that part Of the Allan
tic ocean piled by Spanish treasure
ships.
The name later came to embrace
the shores of the Caribbean islands
and the adjacent coasts of South
and Central America.
Now the name has narrowed down
to denote the northern coast of South
America between the Isthmus of
Panama and the delta of the Orino-
co river, thus including the coasts
Of Panama, Colombia and Ven
ezuela.
Unromantic freighters replace the
old gilded galleons. but precious
cargoes are still shipped from the
Spanish Main.
Venezuela is the third largest oil
producing country in the world.
Colombia contains the worlds
most important emerald mine.
Exports from the main include
platinum, gold. silver, Panama hats,
coffee, chicle, tonka beans. ivory
nuts, which are made in many ar
ticles from umbrella handles to but
tons, and kapol, so-called "vege-
table down" used as stuffing for up
holstery.
An interesting relic of the old days
is the Bluebeard Castle at St Thorn
as, now called Charlotte Amalie. 1t
10 q three-story fortress and is now
the centerpiece of a new hotel. 1t

with visitors during the daytime. AT
night people prefer to stand outside
and gaze at it.
The rugged old fort is made awe
some by the tradition that the origi-
nal owner. pirate who was nick
named Bluebeard because of the
blush sheen on his black whiskers,
had a full set of Is wives.

Almost Gypped
In Oil Stumble,

(ANP)-Wes Wilson, well
known farmer living on
his 218 acre tract near the
Venter's well, last week
narrowly escaped being the
victim of a confidence
game and owes his escape
to the alert eyes of a cOun-

Wilson says he sold the
royalty on half an acre in
this oil country to a Titus
county man for SITS. but
when the royalty deed was
presented for filing at the
clerks office, it repeatedly
had been changed so as to
include half the royalty on
Wilson's entire farm of
218 acres. The wOuld-be
confidence man has since
been indicted by the grand
jury on a charge of fOrg-

NBC To Transmit
Speeches Apr. 20

WASHINGTON-(SNS- A ma
tionwide broadcast urging passage
of the federal anti-lynch bill will
be made Monday, April 90. by Sena-
tors Robert F.. Wagner of New York,
Mathew NJ. Nicely of Virginia, and
Arthur Capper of Kansas, it was
announced here today.
The broadcast has been arranged
through the National Broadcasting
Company over it's Blue network
from 1890 to II p. m., eastern day
light saving time
The three senators, who are
staunch supporters of the bill, will
Insist that it be taken up before
Congress adjourns and that 1t be-
given a chance to be voted on on
it's merits. They will denounce in
advance any attempt at filibus-
ter. Tt is their contention that the
filibuster is umdemocratic because
1t permits a very small minority of
the Senate to block the will of the
majority, not only of the Senate,
out of the American public. Tt is
expected that they will advocate
the imposition of cloture (limita-
ton of debate) in the event a fill
buster should develop.
In connection with the radio
broadcast on April 20, Walter
White, NAACP secretary, issued a
statement urging branches of the
NAACP throughout the country
and other groups and organizations
to organize neighborhood listening
parties and that Immediately after
the broadcast, listeners write or
telegraph individually to Senator
Alben w. Barkley, majority lead
er, Senate Office Building, Wash
ington, D. c., asking him to set
definite date for the taking lip OF
the anti-lync1ling bill,
Listeners also are urged to write
or telegraph the senators from thelr
states urging them to help bring
the bill to a vote, to vote for it and
to oppose any filibuster.
Listeners also are asked to write
to President Roosevelt asking him
to make a statement on the bill.

lace, head of the Home Mission
and Ministerial Brotherhood, an
nounced this week that the depart
ment has enjoyed very success
full quadrennium.
There has been a decided in.
crease in the collection of funds.
This has enabled the department
to save quite a few churches for
the connection that in all proba-
bility would have gone under the
auctioneer's hammer. Churches in
Little Rock, Arkansas, Gainesville,
Florida, and New Bedford, Mass,
have been saved. Missions were es-
tablished throughout the country,
the most promising at Danville,
Virginia. The department. has gone
to the rescue of churches at Yonk-
ers, New York, Saybrook, Long Is
land, up and down the Pacific
Coast. Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana,
Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
The project that has caused
much comment throughout the
church is the establishing of a
camp for young people at Gran
Vile, Mass. The work done at the
camp has been highly instructive
end has caused quite a few young
people to catch a new vision and
has helped to stop the growing
sentiment that young people are
leaving the church. The camp also
serves as an institute for young
preachers, yearly a group OF young
ministers meet in the Institute and
are given the fine points of the
ministry by competent teachers.
The Federal Council of Churches
will conduct an Interdenomination-
al Institute this year. DR.. George
C. Haynes will be in charge. DR..
Wallace plans to ask the forth
coming General Conference to al
locate little more than the pres
ent 7 percent which is now given
to the department. Should the
General Conference adopt his new
budget it is expected that improve
ments will be seen all down the
line.
