association tells us that there
were 88 deaths from tubercu-

last ten years. Statistics show
that for each fatal case there
are ten contacts-a total of $50
in the county. About half of
these have been discovered,
says the association.
What about the other 40?
Are you one of them? There is
just one way to be sure and
that is to have a chest X-ray.

Hall eviction
in court

An important decision on the
federal rent laws was won here
last week by tenants at 4756 N.
Dover st., in Judge Wendell
Green's court.
Judge Green decided for three
families facing eviction from the
Dover street building, owned by
Ernest Crave, 1900 w. Wilson
av., when the tenants attorney,
Irving Steinberg, argued Crave
could not evict on grounds of re-
modelling the building except If
it was necessary to conserve or
protect" the property.
Grave had announced his in
tention to evict tenants, convert
apartments into smaller units,
and collect higher rents.

Any house with children in it
should have reading time. :"
Mostly because it's. fun, the kind
of shared pleasure that is remem-
bered all ones life. It's the kind
of quiet activity that fits in be-
fore bedtime, one that can be as
relaxing to adult as to child.
1t also has sound educational
values. The child that is read to
has much wider vocabulary and
the greater poise that comes from
more experience. Just as having
read about something beforehand
enhances an experience for an
adult, so it does for a child. Walk
ing through woods, hurrying in a
taxi, putting on a show, seeing a
tugboat-these simplest expert
ences heard about in stories take
on a new significance in actual
life.
NATURALLY. children will
have their preferences as to

which you can make your selec-

off the Conference records.
At that time, John McKoy was ruled
against on a petty charge of ineligibility
although previous consent had been OBJ
tanned to play him. His performance in
this years games has been a sweet
morsel for the school and the home folks
generally but a bitter uncoated pill for
the opposition.
Under Coach Leon Brogden, New
Hanover High School athletics have
brought Wilmington fame the city and
school long lacked. Mr.. Brogden made
1t very plain when he took over that
championship teams could not be de-
veloped over night, but are the product
Of intensive training and segregation.
Now it appears that Mr.. Brogden's skill
in training and judgment in segregation
are bearing good fruit.
It is possible, even reasonable, to be-
lieve that among the fruits to be gar
nered will be notable achievements on
the baseball diamond and the football

WONDER QUESTIONS
WHY DOES IRON BEND
WHEN 1T is HOTo

Things vary in the way they be-
have when something tries to alter
their shape. Some things will
break rather than bend; others
will bend and then come back to
their old shape; others, after
bending. will stay in the new
shape. A general rule that applies
almost always is that the colder
a thing is, the more rigid Gun
bending) it is.
This applies even to the three
great states of matter, solid,
liquid and gaseous; for it is only
in the coolest of these-the solid
state-that things can have any
rigidity at all. And, as a rule, the
colder a solid thing is, the more
rigid it becomes.
We believe that when a thing
is made hot, its molecules are
thrown into a state of greater mo-
ton; and we know that they are
farther apart, for the thing ex-
pands. But if the molecules are
farther apart. and if they are
moving about more violently, they
cannot hold onto each other so
tightly and rigidly as before. And
so the thing which, when it was
cold, could not be bent (such as
from, can now be bent. When we
understand the nature of heat, we
see how reasonable it is that iron
should behave as it does when it
is hot.

The Anti Closed Shop Bill

r~esentatives believes a man should be
permitted to work where he finds a
job, without interference by a labor
organization or under compulsion to
Join a labor union.
This was made clear on Tuesday
when the members passed an anti
closed shop bill so vocally overwhelm-
ing that a record vote was not neces-
sary. The assent is estimated to have
been at least three times greater than
the dissent.
The measure now goes to the Senate.
If it receives favorable action there, as
1t should, North Carolina workers will
be under no possible threat of domino
ton implicit in the closed shop.
1t means that in applying for work
no man would be required to present q
union card or lacking the card be com.

application.
North Carolina has a fair labor
record. 1t has not been g~rievously
handicapped by the bossism of labor
leadership. But with labor bosses con
tinually reaching out for more power

business to the detriment of workers
It will be vastly to the advantage O

Your Income Tax

If more than 80 per cent OF a

Referendum Not Feasible

It is not apparent that a public cleo
ton on a truck route would be feasible.
Seventh street residents proposed such
"a referendum at their meeting in
Hemenway school, held to protest the
states proposal to use their street.
The cost of an election is to be con-
sidered, for one thing. For another a
ballot providing for yes and no votes
on Seventh street would not settle the
issue, however the voting went. Unless
the election call included an alternative
route to Seventh street, the money and
time consumed would have been wasted.
The fact is, the truck lane problem
lies squarely in the lap of the City
Council. This group must make the de-
cision after full consideration of all in
terests involved, including business and
industrial interests.
The Seventh Streeters who assem-
bled Tuesday night to voice their OPP
position to the State Highway Commits
sion's plan pointed the way to a reason
able solution when they cited the fact
that truck lanes at Wilson, High Point,

Won Papen Punished

The man who had more to do with
maneuvering Adolf Hitler into power
in Germany, Franz o Papen, cleared
by the international Court at Nuern-
berg, has been sentenced to eight years
Imprisonment by a denazification court,
the loss of his wealth except 5000
marks, and confiscation of his property.
He is also barred from political activity
as long as he lives. The costs of his trial,
fixed at 416,000 marks, are enlarged
against his estate, and he may never
legally own an automobile.
Won Papen is best known in this coun-
try as alleged perpetrator of the Black
Tom munitions plant explosion in New
Jersey during the First World War. In
later years it was he who gave Austria
to Hitler, and came near to death him.
self at the hands of an assassin when a
bomb was thrown by a Macedonian
while he was ambassador at Ankara.
Known as Germany's "foxiest" dip
lomat, crafty and cunning, two-faced in
the extreme, Won Papen offers one more
example of the indisputable fact that
"you can't do wrong and get away with
it,"
He prospered for a quarter century
and more, and it even seemed that he
would escape all punishment when the
international Court failed to punish him.
But where this court fell down, the
lesser court caught up with him. Now
he must spend what is probably the
balance of his life in confinement, in
disgrace even among the element in
Germany which supported Hitler, and
did his bidding, as he did.

What Happens When Our Foot
Goes To Sleep?


Our muscles car move only
when directed to do so by our mo
tor nerves, which may be roughly
described as telegraph wires be-
tween our nerve centers and our
muscles. Before the order is sent
from the nerve center along the
motor nerve to the muscle, direct
ing it to move, the nerve center
has to receive a message from an
other and quite different type of
nerve called a sensory nerve.
Scientific men called this reflex
action.
From the brain, or from the
spinal cord (the big nerve which
runs up the backbone), motor and
sensory nerves are connected to
every part of the body. If a motor
nerve is cut, we lose all control
of the part of the body it serves
but sensation remains. If a SEN
sorv nerve is cut, we lose sensa-
ton in the part which it serves
but retain the power of movement
If both are cut, we lose both SEN
sation and the power to move that
part of the body.
Fortunately, serious damage 70
