Caney Greek Dies: Detroit Can Breathe Easier
TENNESSEE POWER Town NEVER HAD An AUTO

BY NEA Service
OCANEY CREEK, Tenn, June
14-Detroit, Mich, which must
have felt badly all these years In
the knowledge that there was
one town in America that didn't
need and never has seen an au-
tomobile, can breathe easier
now. For Caney Creek, lone
civic "hold-out" against the au-
tomotive age, Is about to van
ish.
Caney Creek - which boasts
one street, a one-car trolley line,
a tiny one-room school, a hotel,
paved sidewalks, a concrete ten
mis- court lighted for night play
ing, modern homes with hot and
cold running water and all the
electrical conveniences found in
a big city - is coming down in
the interests of IVA progress.

Slip him QUITO what? /. A..
For what purpose?
1t seemed like hours-it was
perhaps IS minutes before
Stephan opened the front door,
hung his raincoat in the closet,
and came slowly into the living
room.
He was pale, and more
grave than Deborah had ever
seen him. For a moment he
stood silent, looking into the
fire, his eyes wide and absent,
as if, it seemed to Deborah, he
was seeing for the first time
with complete clarity some
thing he had always known,
but had never quite recognized
before for what it really was.
Finally he said without look

Deborah's fingers frightened on
the edge of the table so that 1t
quivered with her own trembl-

However 1t ends" Deborah
said steadily, II shall know that
nothing you do can be disgrace
full, Stephan"
And suddenly knew that she
was speaking the truth.
With an inarticulate sound
that was half exultant laughter
and half protest, he took her
into his arms.
But there Is 80 little time"
he repeated. "And before / 90,

Cukor has directed her for the
third time. The first film she
made with him was "The Wom-
"a" then Susan and God" He
then guided her screen destiny
IA "A Woman's Fsce," coming
Sunday to the Jewel Theatre.
II have noticed q tremendous
change in JOAN" Cukor said re-
Gently. "She has always known
camera technique. She has al
ways had power and emotion but
the popular conception Of Joan
W. That she was merely . great
glamour girl, . spectacular movie
oueen, . personality. She was
surrounded by IN adoring pub
lie. by fans seeking her auto
Rroph wherever she went, by
worshippers for whom she could
do no wrong.
s'Now, that's all very well.
And Joan Is grateful for that
public, but It caused critics to
take her less seriously as an ac-
tress than they otherwise would
have done.
''TlD critics, for example, said
that In Susan and God Joan imi-
tated Gertrude Lawrence. / say
that Il Joan could have remem-
bered Miss Lawrence's perform

Then they said, All, but the
scene where she reaches for the
niehtgown-why, that's exactly
what Lawrence did
my answer to this Is simple.
I told her to do that piece of bus
mess and never saw Gertrude
Lawrence In Susan at all.
"Joan has m enormous con-
science about acting. Whatever
she does she does completely. In
The Women role which she
begged to do, incidentally-she
played the part Of an uncompro-
mising. unsympathetic woman.
Not once did she do anything
that would gain the least SYM
pathy for her in the performance.
She was, o the character was
written, hard throughout.
Because she thought Susan
was 4 good role, she willingly
played the part of a woman with
! sixteen-year -old daughter. I'm
gure that everyone fully expect
Cd her to ask that the age of the
child b. whitfield down. But she
was thrilled 70 play the part.

I could understand that. Why
slip out through the fog? And
what have the Coast Guard cut
tiers to do with it? Unless
it's you that submarine the fish,
ermen saw off the coast Is wait
ing for - unless they need in
formation that you can give
them?"
For an instant he stared at
her incredulously. Then he gave
a short, entirely unmirthful
laugh.
"Then that's what you be-
level" he said. II never dream
ed that you, too, felt this way
about me-that you could hate
me this way"
Hate Stephan! But that was
preposterous, when all that she
really knew about him was kind
and honorable and generous.
Stephan" she stammered
wretchedly, "I-I don't know
what to believe except that l
am confused-and little
frightened Believe me, it
was not what wanted-to have
it end this way. Yet it was
bound to come to the surface
sooner or later-all that have
never understood about you; all
that you did not want me to
understand. 1t must be better
this way than to leave it-just
drifting there-like a half-sub-
merged, frightening thing one
tries to pretend isn't real"
Perhaps" he said gently aft
er a while, 1--WE should have

ant-just to have fun. Before

Stephan" she cried, "but
must you go?"
They had been talking across
the room, as If neither quite
dared to cross the intervening
space. Now, almost unwillingly
1t seemed, he came and stood
over her where she leaned, half
supporting herself on the table
behind her.
Believing what you do, can
II matter to you--that / must
go?" he asked.
"You know IL does #. /
think you even know how
much"
For an instant she was sure
from the racing of her own
blood that he was going to touch
her. When he did not, but con-
tinued to stand there, his arms
stiffly at his sides, his eyes
gravely searching hers. she falt-
cred, You said, a little while
ago, Stephan, that there were
things you wanted to say to
me-"
"And you knew what /

Then, IL we both understand.
how can there be anything you
must not say to me, Stephan?"

Power Of The Hands

Dartmouth college at Hanover, N.
H., has established workshop in
which students will get an oppor-
tunity to work with their hands, at
such trades as wood and metal
working, cabinet making, etc. This
is done out of the belief that one
of the weaknesses of education is
that the modern boy does not usu-
ally get the chance to work with his
hands.
The youth who feels sure he is
headed for career in some profess
sion or business office. may ask
what good it will do him to learn to
drive nail or work with steel on a
lathe. Even if he is headed for the
office or profession, it would prob
ably do him good to take a year at
the bench. He would through that
experience at least get the point of
view of the ordinary wage-earner,
which many business and profess
sional people never acquire. The
men and women who understand
how to deal with all types of people
stand a better chance in any occu-
patton.
Many book educated college stu
dents may have to wait a year or
two before they get really started on
their life work. If during that year
they could take a job in some shop,
they would avoid the period of dis
couragement and loss of heart thru
which many students have passed
during recent years.
Work with the hands tends to make
people observant. Their eyes are
trained to watch very closely the
tools and materials with which they
are working. If they had a tendency
to live in dream world of thought
and imagination, the hand work |
brings them closely in touch with
life, and helps them become realis-
tic and practical.
The people who see the world
most clearly are apt to be the ones
who conquer the world. Many things
besides hand work are needed to
help one conquer the world. At
least hand work gives people some
clear ideas about life. 1t could be
wished that all boys, or at least
most of them, could have chance
for time at such labors.

Returned Goods

A recent survey showed that out
Of 10 dresses bought in this coun-
try, four are returned for exchange
or refund. That merchants are viii
ling to take these goods back is a
testimony to the extreme effort re-
tail trade makes to please its GUS
toners. Merchants go the limit to
have people satisfied.
People in retail trade will prob
ably say the privilege of returning
goods is abused by many. Probably
some women take a dress home on
approval, wear it to some social oc-
casion. and then return it as not
what they want. Such habits cost
money, and make it more expensive
to handle goods, and thus add to the
cost of clothing.
Retail stores would be well justi-
fed in making a small charge for
the privilege of taking goods home
and then returning them. We can
be sure the stores of Milford will do
everything they possibly can to
please their customers.

Italians Surrender

The Italian army in Africa and
Albania has suffered series of de-
feats, and the African army alone is
supposed to have lost $4,000 in pris-
oners and casualties. This includes
those lost in the terrific blow they
suffered when the British captured
their stronghold of Bardia in Africa.
These Italians would not be sur
rendering in droves, if they had
been asked to fight just war. They
were told to go out and conquer
new territory, when they seemed
pretty well satisfied with what they
had. 1t is not TO their discredit that
many of them feel like dropping
their playthings and running home.
The quicker they do sos the more the
world will applaud their sense.

Worlds Richest Loot

President Roosevelt remarked in
his recent "fireside talk" that ''the
vast resources and wealth of this
hemisphere constitute the m os t
tempting loot in all the world" AS
the bulk of this loot is in the hands
of the United States. Uncle Sam is a
good deal like the man loaded with
money and valuables who goes thru
locality infested with two-gun
bandits.
The nations of the world envy the
wealth Of the United States. Some
of them not merely envy it, but
would try to grasp some of it if it
were not for the guns Uncle Sam al
ready possesses. With only a small
flock of airplanes, and a navy built
only for one ocean, his present pro-
lection is not enough.

Loose Monetary Powers

Dispatches from Mexico City
state that the Cabinet of the new
President Camacho is unable to
agree concerning measures to i'm
prove the economic relations between
the United States and Mexico.
Several weeks ago the news filter
ed across the border that Mexico
was expecting to pull down a cash
loan of so million dollars through
arrangements endorsed by the United
States Government News in the
past few days indicate that Mexico
now wants loan two7or three times
that size. Other Latin nations are
taking advantage of the war and
defense situations to press the Uni
ted States Government for similar
relief
1t is pointed out that the policy of
the United States Government in
buying gold, and silver offered by
Mexico and other foreign countries
is being continued, despite the fact
that these loose monetary practices
are constantly increasing the dang
ers of credit imitation, and up-setting
the efforts of our Federal Reserve
System to check the growth of huge
piles of excess reserves.
Mexico has received millions of
dollars of profits through its sales
of silver to the United States Gov
ernment. The evident purpose of
continuing to buy this silver has been
explained as a plan of the United
States Government to help out Mex
leo" by being generous.
The activities of German agents in
Mexico City appear to be influencing
opposition to the new President of
that Republic. That condition should
not be ignored. The Camacho Admin
istration has indicated hopes of i'm
proving its relations with the Wash
ington Government, but it seems to
be unable to do so, because of in
ternal troubles. If the Washington
Government should call a morator-
ium on buying Mexican silver the
chiselers at Mexico City might con-
slider plans of restitution for the
crimes of Mexico against United
States citizens. Then the prospects
for solidarity in the Western Hem |
isphere would be likely to improve.

Church Publicity

The st. Louis Christian Endeavor
Union is giving an evening school
course ON church publicity to its
members. 1t is held that the church
es need to present their news more
effectively, and that if publicity will
sell all kinds of merchandise to the
world, it can also induce people to
go to church.
The churches all like publicity,
but many of them do not understand
the best way to get it. Some of them
give just dry reading notices of
events. which do not interest people.
A good writer would take hold of
such a notice, and put human inter
est into it. so people would read it.
Incidentally, it costs money to pro-
duce newspaper space, and it would
seem only fair if : the churches
would take little paid space to help
cover that cost.

Legion's Health Program

The American Legion has pro-
gram aimed to reach 10O,OO0.OO0 peo-
pie, for physical and health educa-
ton and athletics. 1t is desired
that schools should open their ath-
letic facilities on IL months basis,
so that youth and adults can get the
advantage. The idea is that physical
well being is essential to national
preparedness.
One of the reasons for the amaz-
ing success which the German army
had in overrunning conquered coun-
tries, was that the young people Of
that country have been induced to
improve their physical condition.
They have been told that when they
make themselves strong, they are
better able to conquer their foes.
Our people don't like the way they
use that strength, but it shows what
people have to do.
Millions of Americans who now
sit around in a quiet way on their
vacations and days on, should be
playing baseball, tennis, golf, taking
long walks. or doing anything that
would give them physical power. If
the Legion can make it easy for them
to stir their sluggish muscles, it will
confer a benefit on the nation.

Holding The House Still

The newspaper jokesmith has one
about the exhilarated man who was
fumbling at his keyhole at late
hour at night. A policeman saw his
trouble. and came to the rescue. The
gent said he could get the key in all
right if the cop would hold the
house still.
There are times when people come
home when everything seems wob-
bly,. If they are on foot, they may
merely create an unpleasant spec
tacle. but If they are attempting to
drive car while the world turns
round and round, it is time for them
to resign the wheel to someone else
and thus have mercy on any person
or car they meet.

BUYERS And Sellers

How shall they hear without a
preacher?" says the Bible. The same
idea applies in business. How shall
the buyers hear about the bargains
and the values and the nice mer-
chandise, if advertisers don't tell
them apout those goods?
A great many fine stocks are not
sold and are the cause of losses to
their owners, because they were not
sufficiently advertised. Advertising
goods adds but little to their cost. 1t
creates such an increase in sales
that it is cheaper to advertise than
not to. Also it avoids the losses
caused by carrying goods over
when the time to sell them has
passed.
