Worst offenders of course are the air horns cities They designed for use on the open road. not in congested city streets The most frequent offender however is just the average automobile horn some makes have much offensive horns than others Few of these horns however, startling when the driver merely touches the horn button. perhaps presses it lightly times in quick cession
 Used in that manner, the horn exercises it's pur- 1 pose as a warning device. However, alas great many drivers think that a horn button should be pressed firmly and helo down. even when the ghtest ! flick would suffice a warning Drivers and pedes- trians immediately in front the side of this type of horn blower get highly dsagreeabe aural jolt, and we recall that laboratory experiment has shown that the sudden close blast of loud auto horn have an effect on the human system comparable to an injection of nitroglycerin And rather than con- sttuting an effective warning such blast may startle
 pedestrian or another driver into doing exactly the wrong thing
 The modern horn you see, is designed to cut through the noise of the highway, to reach several hundred yards ahead and into closed vehicle, and to override engine noise and perhaps the sound of radio Tn other words it is designed to have pene- trating quality which should not be used at full power on nearby pedestrians and drivers in city streets There is one type of indivdual-usually an apopletic looking person-who believes that loud horn blast should be used to indicate indignation at any provocation When this offender reaches hell, there surely will be bare room filled with auto horns for him her to enjoy endlessly

 Finally, that Russian wheat came directly from the Soviet Govern .-ert-.ot from the Russian people. Not n.,:c than a handful of Rus sian people even know about it. Teh American wheat, on the other hand, was saved and collected af- ter a mass campaign by all the American people in which farmers shipped wheat early and every housewife cut down on her use Of bread
 In other words, ours was a genu- inc gesture of friendship to the people of France and Europe from the people of America, but the people of Europe never fully real ized that this was the case.
 This time, Communist leaders in France and Italy already are pre- pairing to unload a few cargoes of Russian wheat with great fanfare in order to repeat their successful propaganda of one year ago. They want history to repeat. And if we gre not very careful it will.
 So my suggestion to the Citizens Food Committee is that this time we take steps to see that the people of Europe evaluate this cam paign for exactly what it is-a gen. uine sacrifice from the heart of America.
 To that end I make the further suggestion that we arrange for the collection of this food direct from the heart of America in such a way that it can be visualized and dra- matized and that the real story will be told to the millions of people we are trying to help
 Why not dramatize the story oi Americas sacrifice by running 8 Friendship Train" straight across the United States, straight through the heart of America, collecting food as it goes, inspiring the house. wives and farmers of the nation te spare a bag of flour or bushel oi wheat and bring it down to tht Friendship Train as their contri' button toward friendship with th' people of Europe?
 I am sure that patriotic Governor Earl Warren would accompany th' train through his state of Nevada and that Governor Pittman woult then carry on across Nevada tt Utah with other Governors cooper atlng in their states. I am certain

Auto Horns
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The press association wires recently carried the account of the death of a child who ostensbly was shocked to death by the sudden blast Of loud nearby automobile horn Post-mortem examination tended to sbstantiate the ascrbed for death
 Fortunately it is incident when the blast of an automobile horn has such physical impact that leads heinorrhaging of delicate blood vessels, or the death toll from horns would be greater than from the vehicles themselves But great amount Of nervous damage unquestionably is done by unneces- sarily raucous horns

would snap at anything that NOV

Minnows are good, too, but they
gotta be big. A minnow that
weighs about a pound makes good
bait. These bass don't like small
stuff.
Which brings to mind the state
ment made recently by a conser
v%ationist of the state of NORTH
Carolina. He averred that the rea'
son people don't catch fish is be
cause they aren't smart enough.
Thomas Salmon, who owns the
lake from which the piscatoria.
beauties were taken, has never
caught one. But the brain angle
doesn't apply to him. He doesn't
like to fish.
A fish caught nowadays and dis
played prominently doesn't have
long to wait before it takes a bacl
seat. They get bigger all the time
So. if you drop down to Salmon
Lake (inside the city limits) be
sure and lock your tackle box il

throughout North Carolina, are
spending a week at one of the local
beaches. They are without bene-
tit Of the presence of wives or

Although destined TO have it as

officials r staying is without tele-

O. G.. Balm, of the Wilmington
District Of the Bell company, was
interviewed by a reporter today.
He reluctantly admitted that i!
might be that some Of the wives
knew their husbands could hot
have any telephone Numbers With
them, that it would not do them
any good if they had. So, this ap-
pareAltly accounted for the gather

Harnett Farmer To Again
Go On Trial For His liz

ELLINGTON, July 27 up -
Charlie Phillips, Is, Angler ten
nant farmre who was saved from
execution through a recently-dls-
covered suicide note allegedly
written by the wife he was once
convicted Of numbering, starts his
new trial here tomorrow.
Phillips will take the witness
stand for the first time says MS
lawyer, Neill Nick. Salmon of
Ellington. Salmon says he has
never lost a capital case In u
years of practice.
No defense was offered at the
first trial last September. Phillips
was convicted by a jury and SEN
fenced to die in the states gas
chamber. Just before his schedul-
ed execution a note written in red
ink on the back of a calendar
page was found by his sister, Mrs,
Willie Hayes. She said she had
found the note in a pair of Stacks
belonging to Mrs. Eta Mae Phil
lips, %, the defendants wife OF
eight years and mother of his two
children.
The note, dated Aug. 10, 1916,
the day Mrs. Phillips was shot to
death in their home, indicated that
she had tried suicide twice be-
fore but I am going through with
it today"
The note indicated a triangle
in their lives, for it asked Phil
lips not to .'go about with that
woman in Raleigh any more
1t also asked Phillips to stop
drinking and take car of their
children, Alice Marie, 9, and
Charles CTony) Phillips Jr.. 5.
The children now r being cared
for by relatives.
