dicted more than one hundred years
ago, says John A. Hilty, native Of
this community who returned here a
year ago after a long residence in
California and Oregon. The predic-
tion. he says, was made by Albert
Clark, Methodist bishop and author
of Clark's Commentaries printed in
1926. The calculations, it is said,
were based on data from the last
chapter of the Book of Daniel in the
Old Testament.

Well. well-here's our old friend
the lowly hot dog sandwich which
sold for a nickel putting on airs
now it's being showed across the
counter for 90 cents, to the accom-
paniment of gripes, groans and cries
of anguish from the quick lunch
crowd. It's the high cost Of living
you know and with present gram
prices what they are, it costs more
to raise whatever hot dogs are made
from-not to mention the increased
cost of the bun that completes the
ensemble for that distinctive morsel
of Americana.-the not dog sandwich.
Oscar Wilde, playwright and
author of the production The I'M
portance of Being Earnest which was
staged by the College Junior class
Thursday and Friday nights, was
never troubled with an inferlority
complex. The story goes that a
publisher once asked Wilde to re-
vamp one of his (Wilde's) plays
Quick as a flash came the play
wright's reply, What, me tampe1
with a masterpiece-never."
Harry Shrider who carries the
mail, together with Clay Henderson
| the expressman and some others who
meet the early Nickel Plate trair
were cast in the role of Good Sama
ritans the other morning. AS the
headlight of the Cleveland-bount
locomotive flashed into view Bluff
ton woman intending to board th'
train discovered she had left he
purse at home-and didn't have ;
cent. The depot crowd hastily mad'
up a purse of enough money for he
carfare and another emergency wa
solved.
Despite all the troubles in the Nea
East the region of Palestine still ha

What is IT..
adequate and efficient railway transportation service for the nation

FROM THE OFFICIAL REPORT of the In
terstate Commerce Commission on award
ing temporary freight rate increase of
1879, we quote:
''The law requires us to give due con-
sideration, among other factors, to
the need of revenue sufficient to en-
able the carriers under honest, eco
nomic, and efficient management to
provide adequate and efficient rail-
way transportation service for the
nation ="
A moments thought should convince
any fair-minded person that keeping the
American railroads healthy is to every
body's advantage.
Every family, every businessman, even
the Nation itself is in danger when this
vital artery of American life is weakened.

And that threat is r"al, and it is nosv For
with increases in the cost of railroad op-
Grafton piling up one atop another, how

the war years of peak traffic, be carried

And speaking of Santa Claus-he
was roundly bawled out by smart
Bluffton youngster of about five the
other day. 1t all happened when he
encountered Santa in a retail store
and gave the patron a list of what
he wanted for Christmas. Nov Santa
you'd better write all that down so
you won't forget" the youth caution

ever, assured him that he would re-
member every single item without
fail. A half-hour later the youth en-
countered another Santa who asked
him if he had been a good boy and
what he wanted for Christmas.
"Now look here" erupted the five
year old heatedly, II told you to
write down what | wanted just a
little while ago and you said you
would remember-and here you've
forgotten it already"

At the piano was Pearl Bogart Mann

A motion made by Council.
man James E. L. Wade specified
that the state highway commission
be urged to cooperate in the con
struction of a route agreed to by
the people of Wilmington.
Mrs. Ben Washburn spoke on
behalf of the restoration Of ITALIAN

to assure the group that the en-
cheering department was making
a survey of the situation at present.
Under an amendment to the zon-
ing ordinance presented by City

ordinance would also change to
commercial districts a part OF
Dawson street from Third to Eighth
streets and one and a half blocks
on 18th street.
Previously the council had
passed on subdivision plans OF T.
H. Wright and Richard Shew for
property in the vicinity Of the Cape
Fear Country club.
Bids for extensions to the city's
water distributing ard sewer sys.
TENS were read and referred to the
city manager, city purchasing
agent, city engineer and water de-
partment for further study. Bids
were submitted by II companies.
Bids were accepted from l. Shrier
and STEMS on police and fire uni
forms. With the exception of shirts
for firemen, all the apparel will
be purchased from Shirer.
Resembling a previous accept
ance of a bid on alum from the
hercules Powder company, the
council moved to award a contract
to the American Cynide company.
After investigation, Benson explain
ed, the prices quoted by the form

estimated.
The council approved the settle.
ment of claims by A. c. Pate and
