portunity TO protect their invest
ment in the l94I cotton crop and
be assured a cash return for their
crop. even though the crop is de-
stroyed or damaged by excessive
rains, droughts. insects. or some
other unavoidable natural cause.
Contracts are being written on
a continuous basis with premium
payment terms remaining approx
imately the same as in previous
years.
The policy now being offered has
been simplitied and provides COW
erage more nearly equal to the
investment in the crop at tn eva
rious stages of production.
Nh. Thompson points out that
each farm has been placed in COW
erage groups according to the av-
erage production. Three levels of
insurance are available for each
group. Four stages of production
have been established which gives
the grower moce protection if
damage occurs late in the season,
and less coverage if damage atkes
place earlier when his crop costs
are less.

Never use knives or rough scour-
ing materials to clean glass cook
ing ware, household management
specialists of the U. 5. Department
of Agriculture say. Scraping with
a knife or securing with steel
wool ma yscratch the protective
surface of the glass and eventual
lily lead TO u crack. Even a slight
scratch may make the glass less
resistant to breakage.
Generally, glass cooking utensils
need only soaking in lukewarm
water and then washing in soap
suds for thorough cleaning. Add
ing baking soda to the soaking
water may help loosen food that
has baked on. II some brown ira
ces still remain, remove them by
rubbing with dry baking soda.

COUNTY RANKS FIFTH
In TB INFECTION
SAYS HEALTH BUREAU

New Hanover county ranks fifth
in the state from the standpoint
OF tuberculosis infection with rs
cases reported, it was announced
yesterday by the consolidated
health department here.
This figure is more than double
that of TB cases for the first six
months of 1916, it was reported.
The report from the health de-
partment shows that rs cases, 81
Iof which were active, were dis
covered during the first six months
of this year. This is compared
with 36 cases, II active, during
the first half of 1916.
tuberculosis in the county has be.
come an alarming problem, ac-
cording to health officials.
Meanwhile, in an effort to fight
the disease, health department Of
ficials, were offering free tuber-
culosis clinics which are sponsor
ed by the health association.
Officials said their goal is to
make the county free of TB as in
Dare county.
Also in the report it was noted
that 997 deaths were from TB in
North Carolina and 80 in New
Hanover. There were LIS births
recorded during the first months
as compared with 1,021 during the
same time last year, while 393 per-
sons died as compared with 1863 in
1916.
Venereal disease also showed an
increase this year over last.

Looking at her this morning
With an appraising eye, he saw
the differences there were from
the girl he remembered, as he
had not been able to see them
last night.
Strictly speaking, he thought,
she was more beautiful now tnan
then. she understood her beauty
Getter, and she cared Cor it and
enhanced it in every way. Her
hair which had reen deep golden
was now silvery platinum color.
Her eyebrows were different, CIV
ing much more poignancy to her
expression.
Hers had never been a mindless
beauty. Veronica, he remember
ed, had qualified as one of our
intellectual actresses She hao
a university degree and had had
views On Strindberg and on
Shakespeare.
He was struck now with what
had been only dimly apparent to
him in the past-that she was
woman whose egoism was quite
abnormal. Veronica was accus-
toned to getting her own way and
beneath the smooth, beautiful CON
tours of flesh he seemed to sense
an ugly iron determination.

Gerda murmured, 'oh! Good

There was a rustic as she turn

1t was all right! As usual, he'd
been lucky. As usual-just for

thought of how often his luck had

wrong! But some day, surely, his
luck would change.

ed a strongly moving novel that
will move anybody out Of their seat
of complacency.
willard Motley's KNOCK on ANY
Door" traces the brief span OF Nick
Romano's life from his early boy
hood In Denver to the bleak and
filthy streets of Chicago's STUN
belt. The scenes of the novel are
very intimate. There are open air
markets Of Maxwell street, the
weather grimed buildings, the reek
of urine-smelling alleys. Jewish
synagogues and Negro storefront
churches. the pathetic sight of old
men and women showed off the
streets. the dirty and ragged kids
playing In the gutter, the store
fronts with moth-bitten old over
coats, dresses, and suits waving in
the air like pennants, italian
stores with oblong dusty cheese
hanging In their windows.
The story also takes the reader
to west Madison street, to the hon
ky tonks, cheap hotels, and 15-
cent restaurants, the street of for
gotten men and indecent women.
The story of Nick Romano, an
Italian-American, may well be a
story Of Bernie Goldstein, Patrick
Shea, Charlie Wong, Ralph Wycho-
wicklow. Manuel Diaz, or even Joe
Suzuki. However, the specific char
acters of the novel in themselves
are not important; the tremendous
significance lies in the sick society
that made Nick Romano.
One can find boys like Nick Ro-
mano everywhere He roams the
street with his gang fellows, who
play pool and haunt honkey tonks
and alleys pilfer and steal on bu-
sy streets, visit brothels, and gen.

WHATS YOUR OPINION, sUDg

Many OF US, when we occasionally
run into q depressed mood, feel
like kicking ourselves in the pants
for missing out on the dough. This
is something we ought to knock
out Of our heads. For when you
reconsider everything, you don't
know how lucky we are to have
come home alive regardless of con-
ditions.
Remember when we we're over
seas, whether 1t be in the South
Pacific or in Europe, how easy it
was if we had the time to get our
hands into a little "black-market-
ing?" The amount of dough that
passed through our hands runs in
to figures that we whistle at to-
day. Cigarettes, candy, bits of cloth
ing, soap and everything else were
sold at fabulous prices. How dumb
we feel today when we can more
than use dough. If we had sense
enough to hang on. It's all over
and forgotten about now. The few
who had the sense of timing and
had sent "do-re-me" home are in
the drivers seat today.
In bull sessions here and there
among the vets, the question is al
ways divided. One group will al
ways state I let new home or car
or business pass right through my
hands. And then again the other
group will always state, Money
wouldn't do you any good If you
couldn't use it.
Today, the majority of us roll up
our sleeves, spit on our hands and
it's off to work, we go.

Nick Romanas land in a relorma-
tory where he does not reform but
learns to despise law, law which Is
personified by sadistic guards
whose treatment is not sympathy
and understanding but blood-stain-
ed whips and brutal fists.
The so-called upright citizens Of
Chicago, New York, and other large
cities where the soreness Of slums
and tenement areas infest are quick
to condemn individuals who have
rebelled from the laws of society
and blame city officials, parents,
the community where the real sour
ces of social Reorganization lie in the
smugness and apathy, the disdain
for ugliness by the society which
allows such degeneration of COM
munities.
In short, Nick Romano is O
manifestation of condition that
is much deeper and significant
than merely a boy who went bad.
1t is more of crime to allow boys
and girls to grow up In tire filth
and the unhealthy influence Of
disorganized environs.

writer's like Richard Wright and
James T. Farrell and other uncom-
promising realists who in their
powerful works attack existing So
cial conditions and attitudes. Nick
Romano and The Black Boy" re-
present huge cross section of
youth today, by-products of very
sick society; their expressions, their
longings for identification and af-
lection, their desires for economic
and social security have not been
given healthful vent and under

Japanese psychology is a funny thing.

as somebody starts making a little money
others soon tear him apart. They did that be-

In our own community, it is regretfully re-
ported here, the same situation prevails
Why should we drag down friends who are
trying to make a go of their business? Isn't
it tough enough to be fighting discriminatory
practices from other sources without having to
battle those of your own kind with similar eco
nomic problems?
Perhaps, Ex-GI Joe, our Nisei veteran
