0. MAX GARDNER

Death struck so suddenly in that quiet
New York hotel room If is still hard TO
realize thai 0. Max Gardner has gone TO
the bourn from which no traveller returns
instead of TO the Court Of ST. James as
United States Ambassador.
Only a few short hours before Mr.. Gard
ner had been honor guest at a luncheon
given by Eric Johnston, motion picture
car, at the WaldorfAstoria. apparently
in perfect health. Toward morning coro-
nary thrombosis developed. Five hours
later, at 8:25 yesterday morning, he had
entered upon his eternal sleep.
Thus passed a distinguished citizen
who had served his state and his country
with extraordinary credit for many years
and had risen 10 eminence in his chosen
profession, the law. II was while he was
governor Of North Carolina thai he did a
most unusual thing by reducing the gov
ernor's salary.
In life he fought a good fight, as only
those who have suffered reverses and
came back can understand. In death his
career stands out for the announcement
il offers for the exercise Of determination
and thrift and interchangeable work.
Note his progress. He graduated from
North Carolina State College and then
took up the study Of the law at North
Carolina University. Shortly after enter
ing private practice Of his profession he
was chosen TO head the Cleveland County
Democratic Executive Committee. Twice
he headed the state delegation 10 National
Democratic conventions-in 1924 and
1882, at the latter Of which Franklin Del
ano Roosevelt was nominated for Presi-
dent.
After serving two terms in the state
senate and as lieutenant governor, he was
elected governor, an office he held from
1929 10 1893. Ii was during this depres-
sion period that he engineered reorgani-
zation Of the state government, reduced
real estate taxes, and effected other no
table economies including a cut in the
chief executives compensation, as cited,
for the first time in history.
Removing 10 Washington, after being
president Of the Cleveland Cloth Mills,
he returned 10 the law, but in 1914 was
named by President Roosevelt 10 head the
advisory board Of the Office Of Mobiliza-
tion and Reconversion, a post in which
he remained for two years until he was
selected a year ago TO succeed Daniel W..
Bell as under-secretary Of the Treasury.
In last December President Truman nam
ed him 10 succeed Averell Hartman as
Ambassador TO Great Britain, Mr.. Harri-
man h%aving'been transferred from London
TO head the Commerce Department.
Yesterday, with Mrs. Gardner and his
son Ralph, he was to have boarded the
S. S. America destined for England TO
take up his new duties. Having Won
high honors from state and nation, he will
be brought back TO Shelby, where he was
born, mourned, and oh so sadly to be

Honduras and Guatemala.
The latex is collected by tapping
the trunk. Deep zigzag cuts are
made in the trunk up to a height
of thirty feet, and the thick latex
oozes out and runs slowly down
into a pan placed at the foot of
the tree.
After the raw gum has been boil
ed in large kettles, it is poured
out on creased canvas and mold
ed into marquettas or blocks
weighing about twenty-five pounds.
The gum is packed into bales of
four blocks each for shipping.
To be manufactured into chewing
gum, the grayish-broWn blocks are
re-melted. impurities are removed,
and sugar and flavoring are add
ed. The finished product is then
nodded and wrapped into the IA

WHO ARE
LLOYD'S OF

The name Of Lloyd's of London
is often heard in connection with
all kinds of odd insurance policies.
Lloyd's. we hear, will insure dane
ers against becoming fat, and the
fat ladies of the circus against be-
coming thin, 1t will insure against
colds, bad weather and vermin.
1t is true that Lloyd's will il
sur against anything but death.
But there is nothing freakish about
this famous company: it is the
largest insurance organization IN
the world.
1t began when a group of in
surance men started to meet and
transact business at Edward
Lloyd's coffee house in London, to-
ward the end of the 18th century.
Each of these men carried on his
own business, but they combined
in a group in order to obtain
shipping information. In the course
Of the long history of Lloyd's, its
underwriters became more close
ly associated, and a company was
finally formed in 1871. Yet even
at the present time insurance is
issued, not by Lloyd's as a corp
GRAFTON, but by the individual
members of Lloyd's, who take all
the risks.
AS a corporation, Lloyd's watch
es over the interests of its mem
bers and gives out shipping news
and general commercial informa-
ton. Lloyd's maintains many a.
gents and correspondents all over
the world. 1t also issues a num-
Der of publications, including a
Register of the worlds shipping.
An interesting feature of Lloyd S
headquarters in London is the
ships bell of the old frigate Lutine !:
this is rung once to indicate good
news, twice to indicate bad.
What Is Chewing Gum?
If you live in the country, you
may have chewed on the little
balls of spruce gum which drop
off the white or black spruce or
balsam fir trees. The gum which
ome in packages, however, is
really a substance called chicle.
This is the milky juice 0atex) of
a hardwood tree called zapota
which grows in the American trop-
