Storm Damage To Crops
Still Being Checked On

County Farm Agent R. w. Gal
phin reported yesterday that al
that time it was impossible to tell
the extent and range of damage
to New Hanover county crops
from Mondays storm.
The agent said that some corn
was beaten down during the heavy
rain fall, and that some local
farmers were estimating from one
per cent to 40 per cent damage to
growing ege.ables.
Farmers would like to see sew
eral days of moderate temper
lures now, Galphin added, as high
temperatures would tend to heat
the water above ground, thus
scalding the growing crops.

IMPRESSIONS

Girard, the famous French painter, when
very young, was the bearer of letter IT in
PRODUCTION to Lanjuinais a member OF the
Council of Napoleon. The youn4, artist was
shabbily attired, and his reception was
tremely cold; but Lanjuinais discovered in him
such striking proofs of character, talent, and
good sense, that on Girard's rising to leave,
he rose also, and accompanied his visitor to
the door.
Linjuinais's manner had changed so per-
ceptibly during the interview that the artist
was about to express his surprise, when he

CIANO'S DIARY

OCT. 6-DEC. 5, 1939.-The bomb
attempt on Hitler at Munich in
1899 was a Gestapo plot to stir
German sentiment against Great
Britain or a Nazi family affair
that dated back to the 1884 blood

son-in-law, recorded in his diary
within "a hours of the explosion.

Duce so depressed as he was this

Croat leader, Machek) sends an in

and their Serbian officers"
OCT. 13-"Chamberlain's speech
makes the hopes of even the most
obstinate pacifists sink"
Editors note: This is a reference
to speech by Prime Minister

Household Hints
Fried Apples and Carrots

Sometime try frying apples and
carrots together. Use equal amounts
of each. Slice the apples about "a
inch thick, cut the carrots in length
wise slices and spread over the bot
tom of the frying pan in a small
amount of fat. Cover and cook slow
ly until nearly tender You'll need
to stir often to prevent scorching.
A little before the carrots and APP
pies are done, sprinkle on a table
spoon of sugar and a little salt and
let brown.

SpOiIs Shape

Overstuffing your bag will spoil
its shape and weaken the fastenings
and seams, so carry only what you
really need in your purse. At sea-
sons end when you want to put
your handbag away, stuff crumpled

its shape and store in its own box.
To prevent tarnish to silver and eve
ming bags, wrap them in black It's

Sprinkle Clothes

When sprinkling clothes use a
bottle sprinkler, spray or clean
whisk broom. Dampen most things
evenly but lightly; too much mois-
ture means longer ironing but lin
ems must be quite damp for love-
ly finish. Knit cottons and heavy
play clothes should not be dampen-
ed. Sprinkle things with warm
water if you want to begin your
ironing soon, but if you possibly can
arrange to do so, roll pieces up
tightly and leave them overnight.
