while these preparations may be

some of them contain substances

It is not wise to put any medicine
or oil into the nose, even though it
may destroy some bacteria, if it
interferes with the natural de.
lenses. If medicines are used in
the nose, they should be dissolved
in physiological salt solution TO
avoid possible irritation. In ex-

used in the nose, but these cases
are rare.

Americas Card Authority

1t is some time since ! said any
thing about counting your tricks,
but shall probably hammer away
on this thought as much this year
as I have previously. Learning to
count your tricks is the best way to
improve your game. Another way
is to pay strict attention to the
bidding.
In today's hand, for example,
when East comes into the bidding
at the two spade level, the missing
high cards are marked in his
hand, especially when West opens
the king of spades.
Let us assume that declarer
plays the ten from dummy on the
first spade, and wins the second
one. He knows that East must
have the king OF hearts and king
of clubs to justify his two spade
overcall, so his first play is a small
heart to the ace and the six of
hearts back. East WINS and leads
spade. which South wins. At
this point declarer must cash the
queen of hearts and play the nine
Of hearts. When West leads club,
declarer must go up with dummy's
ace, and the losing club is dis
carded on dunmy's fourth dia-
mond.

The Star tries to have names correct
ly spelled, yet it seems impossible to
avoid typographical errors now and
then. For example, yesterdays Star
News contained an article on Miss
Ellen Douglas Bellamy, who died last
week. The article was written by the
Rev. Andrew J. Howell, retired minis
ter, historian, and well known in south
eastern North Carolina. The 'by line
at the top of the article, however, is
Andrew J. Horrell. The Star regrets
the error.

The automobile situation being
what it is it's hardly surprising
to report that Mrs. Miriam Burns
has 1909 International and a 1909
Buick.
Mrs. Burns, though, doesn't own
these automobiles Of somewhat
ancient vintage because Of the war
borne shortage of motor vehicles.
They were deliberately acquired
because they were, and are, old.
She doesn't even care much if
the motors miss and rattle de-
velops here and there. AS matter
of fact, both these automobiles
click along about as well as you
could expect; about as well, in
deed! as some OF the jalopies that
are chugging along our highways
today.
But, as I said, Mrs. Burns
doesn't care much if they don't run.
1t seems that some years ago
Mrs. Burns husband, the late
James M. Burns, acquired these
cars and they have since become
family pets for Mrs. Burns and
her sons, Bob and Bill. twins,
and Jimmy.
Some years back Mrs. Burns
began the collection of antique
furniture more or less as a hobby.
Not to be outdone, Mr.. Burns
decided he needed a collecting
hobby to while away his leisure
hours so he began collecting an
tique automobiles.
First one he came by was the

International. This is known as the
Buggy" because that's mainly
what it is. 1T looks for all the
world like one Of those things
horses used to pull; may still pull
for all I know.
The Buggy has the bar in
stead of steering wheel with
which to guide it. This gadget
was all the rage back in the
1909 days. And it has chain
drive.
Mr.. Burns bought the Buggy"
near Liberty in North Carolina.
But the original sale was a lot
more interesting than that. Back in
those days Sears, Roebuck and
Company sold automobiles. When
you wanted to buy car you just
picked up the latest. catalog put
out by the mail order house, you
selected the number you wished,
and you mailed off the order blank
on which you specified the color
you wished, etc., just like they
mail off for shoes and pants and
shirts and such things today.
The Buggy was given a fea-
ture spot in the Sears catalog of
those days. It seems that four
people in Liberty got together and
ordered four Internationals. Mr..
Burns later bought one of these.
The Buggy was rnanufa ctured
by the International Harvester
company. Officials of the company
who have seen the Buggy in
recent years are inclined to think
it is an even earlier model than
1909. But Mrs. Burns is willing
to settle for that date.
The Buick has an equally inter
esting background. It was, so all
the records indicate, the first
automobile owned by r. J. Rey-
nolds, the Winston-Salem tobacco
tycoon who gave up his earlier
preoccupation with automobiles to
make the country Camel-consci-
Gus.
When finally Mr.. Reynolds traded
the Buick in for a newer car the
dealer in Winston-Salem hung on
to it for sentimental and advertis-
ing reasons. Mr.. Burns tried for
long time to buy the Buick but
the dealer wouldn't sell. But Mr..
Burns had his heart set on that
car for the collection he planned.
He tried every way to get the
Winston-Salem people to sell it.
but they said no.
Finally came the Depression
and who is there to say that an
i'll wind blows nobody good?-and
the Winston-Salem dealer went into
bankruptcy. Mr.. Burns, alert had
friend go to the foreclosure sale
and bid the Buick in for him.
The two cars-and it's taken me
long time to get around to tell
ing you-are right here in VIII
mlngton. Mrs. Burns and her sons
live in Oleander and they keep
the cars Whereabouts. Ever so often
they take them out and chug
around IN them. Makes people they
pass stare lot, but not as much
as they used to when there were
plenty of new cars on the market
Most folks just pass up the old
cars with the thought that "Well,
mas 1t come to this!''
Mrs. Burns has loaned the cars
out for conventions and advertis-
ing purposes. Once John Waldrop
Raleigh, then head of the Kiwan-
ians in the State. borrowed the
Buggy" for a Kiwanis conven-
ton in Pinehurst. The "Buggy',
made quite hit.
Mrs. Burns has been very care
ful about preserving the cars.
People all over the country want
them. When Billy Burns, now on
the Spindle Eye. news transmission
vessel in the South Pacific, was
with the Blue network news room
IN New York, James Melton. the

TWO SMALL BOYS
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Rugs are askew, furniture is dis.
arrayed, ornaments are scattered,
the dinner bell and the door-bell
chimes are frequently sounding,
toys are scattered over the floor
and lively feet are running all over
the house, all to a vocal accom-.
paniment.
You have guessed it; two of our
grandsons, Turk and Tim, aged
six and four, are visiting their mo.
theirs old home. They are incar.
nate activity; surely, muse the old
folks, our children were never
such wild Indians. But Milady. a
much-beloved and model grand
mother, puts her finger on the core
of the matter when she says, after
strenuous days, "The Lord knows
what He is doing when He gives
children to young people," For the
boys mother, wise and patient, is
unperturbed by the widest riot,
She discerns, what all this bubbling
vitality means to future health and
character. =
Beneath all the rowdiness shines
future personality. Tim, with his
ever-radiant smile, will be a
friend-winner always. Turk with
his keen brain that forgets nothing
Che already knows more geography
than d will be scholar. Although
barely six, he is passing through
the second grade in the one-roona
country schoolhouse.
Into the staid old home has come
sunshine and activity, and a hap.
piness that only family reunions
can bring. We. are profoundly
grateful that HE setteth the soil.

World Capital Site

Final decision on the site OF the
World Capital rests with the United
Nations Assembly, now in session IN
London, but 50 far as the committee
which has been examining properties
for that is concerned, the question is
already settled.
In a lengthy report by this group,
headed by DR.. Slogan Gavrilovic, a
tract containing from forty to fifty
square miles on the New York Connecti-
cut border is given first choice, with
Hyde Park, the Blue Hills and North
Shore regions near Boston, still in the
running. There seems no reason to think
the Assembly will reject the commit
tees top recommendation unless, OF
course, Mrs. Roosevelt, a member OF
the United States delegation, has suf.
ficient influence in the Assembly, ano
exercises it, to switch the membership
to favor of Hyde Park.
