Wise Moss. A 3-year-old filly
with no respect for her elders,
again threw mud in the eyes OF
eight older horses as she sprinted
down the sticky Detroit race track
Saturday afternoon to capture the
Belle Isle Handicap by a three
length margin.
The daughter of Wise Counsellor
had carried the coiors Of Mrs. Ed
ward McCuan 10 a nose triumph
in the Dominion Handicap just a
week before But she had far less
trouble in winning her second ven-
ture by far more impressive
margin before a crowd of 1928.
Rated as co-favOrite with Epidor
in the betting and with Jockey
George King, the leading rider OF
the meeting in the saddle, Wise
Moss was never worse than third
IN the run Of six furlongs.
She came on at the head of the
stretch 10 pass the pace-Setter,
Aerial Bomb, and from there on
IT was a romp for the fiily while
four horses fought it out behind
her for second Mace.

Beware of Unlicensed
Peddlers

1t is a timely warning that comes from
M E. Garner, head of the horticultural de-
partment Of State College, to the plant and
tree buying public to beware of irresponsible
peddlers and deal only with licensed nursery
men.
There are in the state many persons who
buy inferior stock, or who dig plants in the
woods. and sell them without regard to their
value or condition, says Professor Garner. You
may, he adds buy from one of these persons
what you believe pink dogwood tree and
discover it to be white only after several
years. The label on them may have little
in common with the fruit they finally bear.
Furthermore there is the danger Of putting
diseased trees into gardens and orchards, to
infect healthy trees already there.
North Carolina law requires that all nursery
men be licensed. Eligibility for license is
based on the dependability of the stock Of
fered and is intended as guarantee to the
buyer. "In buying from licensed nursery
man." says Professor Garner, 'the customer
is assured that the plants have been rigidly
inspected for insects and diseases. A reliable

PURELY Selfish
Charlotte Observer

The American people are a selfish people
For that matter, all people are selfish. We
are simply flesh, meat, comglomeraton OF
appetites and desires which always call for
satisfaction with more flesh, more meat. 1t is
nothing to be ashamed Of; that is the way We
were created, and we have nothing to do with
it.
Even the best of us can sit at a table
loaded with more food than we can possibly
consume while well we know many others
have empty stomachs and will always have
then The word banquet in one form or
another, refined from eat is probably our
most favorite word. It must be; else we die.
and none of us want that.
So, let us not in the matter of going to
England's rescue ascribe to ourselves any
noble motives; they are entirely selfish. We
merely want to save ourselves. Let us not
get the idea that we are doing this to save
the dernocracies; we are doing it to save our
skins. Let us not, with a homemade halo
around our heads, piously quote scripture and
sitting down to banquet, label ourselves as
altruists; we are not We are meat, pure and
simple: gross through and through, merely
trying to keep on living
Yet, we must do this; do it for ourselves
We have no time to lose; else our selfishness
will be in vain. Throw away the colored glas'
ses with which we like to view the world
escaping reality, and realize once and for all
that to save our own carcasses we must save
England.
Every day that is lost is one step nearer
the destruction Of our flesh, this personal
covering Of the bones, this personal conbina-
ton of the appetites We are not intent on
saving Britain or re-establishing freedom in
France or Poland or Norway. But we must
be intent upon saving ourselves, these pre-
cious, meaty bodies Of ours, or we may be.

Valuable Training Offered

dearth Of experienced pilots for CONNER
cial air liners has led officials of several COM
panies to suggest that army and navy fiers
be placed on their airplanes for advanced
training. Unless some such plan is adopted,
say these officials, they will not be able to
continue full service.
The plan has one strong point which the
government officials cannot well afford to dis
count. 1t is that training thus offered their
aviators is the best to be had in the world.
American commercial pilots have established
a record for efficiency that is unrivaled
Another point to be considered is that Ameri-
cas- communications system is quite as i'm
portant a part of the defense effort as the
necessity Of training soldiers for land opera
tons. Without an adequate force Of pilots for
transport work and for the operation Of COM
mercial planes, the nation will find it's de-
tense system under heavy handicap. Fur.
thermore, when the need for combat pilots is
lessened with the return Of peace to the world
the men then to be released from military or
naval service will be in better situation to
secure employment in their chosen field of
endeavor if they are already trained in civilian
flying.
The air company officials have sound judg-
ment to back up their proposal to train mill
tary and naval aviators as co-pilots on their
planes.

Cross-Channel BOmbings

pecause it has become frequently repeat
ed hit of news, Britain's pounding Of German
held invasion ports has lost some OF its true
significance in the public mind.
II is like a banging shutter which holds
ones whole attention at the beginning but Is
no longer even distraction once the ear be-
comes accustomed to it and, anomously, would
be sheard'' only If it stopped.
We probably would be reawakened to the
Importance Of this perpetual hammering al
channel and North sea ports only if Britain S
war ministry abandoned it.
But the casual attention we give it now.
after such long familiarity with it, does scant
credit to its effect on Germanys plans to IN
wade Fngland-a project wh4sh has been up
peruost in Axis war planning for many
months and is assumed TO be the chief objee-
tive of Hitler's spring offensive.
Had it not been for the Royal Air Forces
unremitting bombing of the points from which
the Fuehrer must launch his invasion effort
there is good reason to suppose that he would
already have had his forces concentrated on
the channel coast in great numbers for the
attempt, if not actually on British soil. Indeed,
there is. some evidence that the British air
force frustrated one such attempt last Septem-
Der, with heavy Nazi losses.
These bombing raids must have occasoned
many changes in Hitler's plans. They have
caused the loss Of immense supplies Of gaso-
line and munitions, without which no invasion
attempt could be successful, to say nothing OF
the interruption they have caused in Nazi pre-
parations It is obvious that unless Hitler can
mass many divisions on the channel coast,
many transports and great stores Of war sup
plies, he will be unable to bring Britain S
downfall by invasion. Thus the Royal Air
Force bombings across the channel are per-
haps Britans greatest strategical achieve

Belong to Something"

The Christian Science Monitor tells of boy
in an American high school library looking al
the photograph of class which had gradu.
ated more than half century ago. HE turn
ed to the principal who happened to be in the
room and said: I like traditions They give
you feeling that you belong to something
that others have cared about -
The Monitors comment is:
Untold generations ago. mankind began
building traditions. Now the nations Of the
Old World are engaged in great strug-
gle to see if those traditions shall con-
tinue to endure. The traditions of the
democratic way Of living face time Of
supreme testing.
The democratic ideal is the integrity of
the individual. United, steadfast, and be-
leving in high traditions, democratic peo-
pies are highly resolved to preserve this
priceless heritage.

With its portion Of pain and its burden of care;
One day at q time aoe must meet and must

As the day, so the strength that He giveth
