GUARD PREPARED.
FOR RIOT ACTION

The North Carolina State Guard,
organized in 1871 to replace tile
National Guard, which was taken
into the regular Army in 1910, is
especially organized tor riot con-
troll. Highly trained, the Guard is
equipped with, Army trucks, am
pie supplies and arms and ammu-
milton.
The flying wedge with bayonets
fixed, is scientifically designed to
break up mobs.
Having an authorized strength
of ST men and officers, the Guard
has trained nearly 400 men now
in the regular Army from this
section, several being commits
stoned officers, serving in all the
aters of war.
The emphasis on drilling has
helped men going into the serv-
ice, leading to non-commissioned
ratings in many cases. The local
unit is inspected every month by
officers of the Fourth Service COM
mand of the U. S. Army. Test
notifications have revealed a
high degree of efficiency and are
held under orders of the 4th Serv-
ice Command. The Guard may be
sent anywhere in the state by the
Governor, and when on active duty
has regular Army pay and status.
The N. C. State Guard is com
posed of approximately 5000 men
and units are stationed in all key
cities.
A call has been issued by Capt
Sykes for II additional men as
eight men have been lost in the
last 10 days to the regular Army.
He emphasized that applicants
should be between the ages of 10
and so, draft exempt and able to
pass reasonable physical exam
ination. Honorably discharged vet
erans are especially needed. Off

Bragg and Fort Benning, Ca, all

He's already won an Oscar from

Ten years ago Bing and Leo made
a deal to one day make a picture to-

looking for story. Every time they
met during those 10 years Bing
would ask:
Have you get that story yet?"
And Leo would say, mot yet"
Then early this year Leo got his
idea. He went to Bing's house and
outlined the story.
Bing said: That's it."

Not long ago he started to make

He was in hospital for eight

Par+y-Liners
Should Think
OF Nei9hbors
BY RUTH MILLETT

1t hasn't occurred to lot of
women that they ought to have
party manners if their telephone is
on party line.
And SO in good many homes
where a telephone line is shared
with one or even three other fam
lilies, the telephone becomes a
source of irritation, instead of the
convenience it chould be and could
be-eVen on four-party line.
The situation often reaches the
'feudin' Stage-with the sharers
of party line interrupting each
others conversations, and delight
ing in holding a telephone for As
minutes at a time.
But the trouble all starts because
some persons feel that as long as
they are anonymous voices, they
don't have to have manners. So
they use a party line as often and
for as lengthy conversations as they
would if they weren't inconvenience
ing anyone else by doing so.
Following three simple rules would
give them party line manners:
Keep track of the number of
telephone calls you make in a day,
until you are convinced you are not
making an unreasonable number.
LIMIT YOUR TALK
Limit your calls to five minutes,
because there is nothing important
you can't say in that length of
time.
Bring your own call to close
as quickly as possible the first time
someone else lifts a receiver to use
the line
We don't always have chances to-
day for old-fashioned neighborli-
neSs. But we do have many chances
to be neighborly. And cne of them
in these times is to treat the voices
who share our telephone lines with
as much courtesy and consideration
as though they were next door
neighbors.

be but the sounding brass and the
'tinkling cymbaP described by st.
Paul. So we rejoice that discordant
physical conditions of every sort are
constantly yielding TO the ministra-
tions of Christian Science.
Both Christianity as taught by
Jesus and Christian Science as
taught by Mrs. Eddy emphasize the
fact that man is indeed new the son
of God. Both explain that man need
not constantly look for a perfect
life hereafter when he Is already in
possession of t n a { priceless gift.
Both clearly establish the fact that
eternal life is the fact now and that
mortals will become conscious of
that fact when they reject the false
or defective thinking that the mortal
is the real man.
THE New Testament, for exam
pie, carries throughout the glad
news of man regenerated and re-
stored to his birthright of life,
deathless and eternal, life the glori-
Gus fact now and always.
PROVES GROUNDS
True religion proves scientifically
that mortal man is a false-belief
man, the result of erroneous or de-
fective thinking. Such defective
thinking, Christian Science teaches,
may be rejected and real manhood
recognized by the application of this
scientific and purely men tai
process"
n tn ufhtHh
right thinking operates, Mr.. Harsch
recalled the experience of Ruth in
the Old Testament. Her humility
and devotion to her highest sense of
good caused her to CLEAN and to
give, rather than seeking something
for herself.
In all these things she reflected
the great Giver, God, the Father
and Mother of us ALL Hence her
spiritual and material reward. Her
experience illustrates accurately the
operation of a divine law. Creation
is but the evidence, the outpouring,
CT that creative power which Chris
tian Science designates as Principle.
That is, it-creation-is but the ef-
feet of the constant, ceaseless giving
of the loving and beneficent Father.
Jesus lived only to give. Mary
Baker Eddy, too, lived to give. From
the moment of her first glimpse into
the real. she sought through everv
possible channel to share the fruit
of her vision with others. This was
not easy. The human struggle was
frequently so great as to seem un-
bearable. But the storms passed,
and the command of divine Love
calmed the waves of mortal mind
with it's Peace. be still
PRAYING Alright
Can you think of better way of
praying than thus to use this Chris
understanding? Earnest d fire.
quent declaration of Gods goodness
and allness is praying Alright. Denial
of the presence, power, CT reality Of
personal sense and any or all of its
demands and claims, is also prayer.
Such prayer is always answered, be-
cause it leaves all to the divine will
and puts personal sense under foot.
This then is the message of the
real which Christian Science has for
us and for all mankind. 1t speaks OF
perfection, completeness, satisfac-
| ton, salvation-now. 1t promises an
inward peace and spiritual poise
now, not hereafter. All this and
more it offers to those who will ac-
cept it's teachings, use the Principle
it sets up as All-in-all, and gladly
accept the government of that per-
feet Principle"
