Prof. Benjamin B. Kendrick

The death of Professor BENJAMIN
Burks Kendrick at his summer home in
West Dresden, Maine, brings poinant
sorrow to many Wilmingtonians.
Professor of history and chairman
of the department of history and politi-
cal science at Women's College of the
University of North Carolina, with
which he had been associated since 1923,
it had been the privilege of many young
women of this city and Southeastern
North Carolina to attend his classes and
come under his kindly influence.
Professor Hendricks was a native of
Woodland, Georgia. He graduated from
Mercer University and in 1905 received
his Masters degree and doctorate of
philosophy from Columbia University,
where he taught history from 1912 to
1923. He was president of the Southern
Historical Association in 1871 and a
member of the American Historical AS
sociation's council and executive commit
tee from that year to 1914.
Two of his books, "The United States
Since 1864" authored jointly with l..
M. Hackner, and "The South Looks at
Its Past" in collaboration with A. M.
Arnett, are accepted as standard works
on these important subjects.

Arson On A Big Scale

During the war, certain special
troops, such as those serving with the
OSS, were given technical instruction
in arson. Elaborate textbooks were
printed to assist the student in attain
ing proficiency in destroying enemy
ammunition dumps, headquarters and
other installations, by fire. These works,
of course, were classified "Secret" and
were never allowed to fall into the
hands of the general public.
However, judging by recent fire
loss statistics, the American people
need little instruction in how to start
destructive fires. Because of our care
lessness, ignorance and plain downright
laziness, we are experts in the field.
The figures tell the story. Authori-
ties say that nine out Of every ten
fires are easily ~preventable. Yet we will
burn up about $500, 900 1000 worth of
property this year, to make the worst
record IN hlStOry-and we Will Dufn
to death some 1000 human beings
along with it.
This will happen because we insist
on being careless with heating equip
ment; because we permit faulty electric
equipment to go unrepaired; because
we litter Easements and attics and
closets with inflammable trash; because
We improperly dispose of smoking ma
terials-and because we do a hundred
and one similar things that a modicum
of common sense should tell us not to
do. Think it overland then decide
whether you're willing to do your part
to prevent fire.

TOP O. THE MORNING
Save Waste Paper

The Senior Fraternity, after confer
ences with the Junior Chamber of Com
merce, announces it is with mutual con-
sent that it will conduct a waste paper
drive on November. The Jaycees have
stepped out Of the picture because of
their crowded program and also because
the Fraternity has especial need for the
revenue in connection with it's Brigade
Boys Club activities.
Announcement is made of the under
taking thus far in advance that Will
mington residents may have time to &C
cumulate large stores of paper.
The same general rules that have
governed all previous similar campaigns
will be used. What is to say( contribu-
tors are asked to bundle their gifts,
with newspapers and magazines strong
ly tied in separate packages and waste
basket ~hoardings gathered in bags. This
is in the interest of smooth handling
and conservation of time in collecting.
Residents are urged to place their
contributions at the curb before their
homes during the hours designated.
It is to be expected that because of
the paper shortage, which is as acute
as during the war, everybody will save
all waste paper between now and the
day of collection and have it all, secure
ly packaged at the curb, when the truck
arrives.

Year. Round Green Pastures

The monthly magazine 1--WE the
People," which is devoted to matters of
primary interest to North Ca~rolinians,
contains an article in this months issue
concerning Hugh MacRae and the many
years of intensive study and work he
has given to creating lush pasturage in
This area the year around.
The author, Garland P. Porter, OBJ
Niously put in much time studying Mr..
MacRae's exhaustive experimentation
with a great variety of fodder crops.
He explains in detail the tests made over
a period of years at Inversheil, how and
why certain varieties were abandoned
and others adopted, the result of success

separate paintings in others, so that
the MacRae herds are assured green
pastures at all times.
The article is especially interesting
and particularly timely in view of the
manne in which the MacRae system of
feeding livestock has become better and
better known throughout the South, and
the improvement it is effecting in the
raising and care of dairy and beef cat

options were open to her after she
had spread her hand. The opening
permitted North to make thirteen

this hand was not an artificial
convention. 1t was made to show

PARIS, Oct. o. up If any
American tourist or CT bought
what he thought was a painting by
the world-famous artist Maurice
Utrillo from Maurice" IN Mont
martre's Rue Pigalle recently, he's
out of luck.
Paris police announced the ar
rest of a gang of art counterfeiters
and the recovery of a fortune in
false MASTERPIECES. But, they
said, seven bogus Utrillos, all done
by Madame Claude Latour, 81, OF
Paris, had been acquired by a
mysterious Maurice of Mont
martre" who disappeared after dis
posing of them.
Police said they were afraid that
some of the forged Utrlllos had
been sold to foreigners and already
were outside France.
As told by police, the story be-
gan when young Jacques MalresSe
tried to snatch the hardbag of
Mademoiselle Irene Solognoub,
frou-frou dancer in the Bal Tabar-
ms Can-Can chorus. Her screams
brought the genarmes running and
doom to the pictures takers.
After the arrest of Mairesse,
Detective Hippolyte Clot made a
routine inspection of his rooms
and found a familiar-looking paint
ing pinned to the wall with thumb
tacks.
A habitue of the Luxembourg
Museum of Modern art, Clot jump
ed when he saw that the painting
was signed Utrillo and recognized
what looked like the artists famous
"Lapin Agile"
Clot rushed back to police head
quarters with his find, and Mares
Sc was hailed before Examining
Magistrate ROBERT Levy, to explain
how he came into possession o. a
painting that should have been ir
The Luxembourg.
Mairesse said it all was very
simple. The painting was a phoney,
he said, and he had stolen it from
his father-in-law, Andre Coste, a
dealer in paintings.
A whole flock of b%lue-capped gen.
darmes descended on Coste's house
and went over it from top to bot
tom. They found three paintings
signed Pablo Picasso.
Presented with this evidence,
Coste was quoted by the police as
saying he had been dabbling If

and had bought the three Picassos

heavy. But Jesus treasured then:

knew him, and in the absence
of the members of the firm,
which frequently occurred, and
for long periods, he was placed in
charge of the management of the
entire business, giving perfect
satisfaction in every instance.
About the middle of March.
1888, Mr.. Dobarganes opened up
small factory for himself on
the corner of Thomas and Olivia
streets and employed some eight
or ten cigar makers, but from the
superior quality of his cigars he
was soon forced to increase his
force to fifty cigar makers, all
of whom were rapid, first-class
workmen, and he employed
nothing but the very finest Span
ish or Havana tobacco in making
the cigars. These goods gave the
most perfect satisfaction to every
dealer who handled them, and
the orders poured in to the ex-
tent that it was necessary for
Mr.. Dobarganes to double his
force.
