for a second or two, then gravely
slid them along the counter to-
ward the gunman. Here's your

had crept into his voice. From

The clock that was making

heart was dishing up as the gun
man reached out and took the
fifty. Then he stared down at
the gun as though it had been
smeared with the germs of some
great plague, and showed it over
to the other kid.
The first kid nodded. "Okay.

darkly. "And you know why he

paused. "A stick-up's a stick-up,

More About Car Taxes

These columns recently noted that
Wilmington motor car owners who use
their autos sparingly pay in state and
federal taxes $51.86 a year. This as
m gasoline consumption does not
exceed seven and one-half gallons a
week, and does not include the sales
tax on any requirements installed dur
ing car overhauls. a.,
Heavy as this levy is upon the in
dividual, the motor vehicle tax picture
is surprising and distressing when it
shows the total tax collected from all
owners and operators in the state. We
are indebted to Mr.. Colemon W. Rob-
erts, president of the Carolina Motor
club, for the composite picture.

Derby "Downs" Well Chosen

The general advisory committee ap-
pears to have made an excellent choice
of the Soap Box Derby downs" Thir-
teenth street, northward from Green
field, has the advantage for the racers
of recent paving and of more open
space for spectators than the site Of
last years derby.
With southeastern North Carolina
towns and cities invited to enter o n
t~estants, the field" promises to be
substantially increased ove last year,
which will mean that additional elimi-
nation heats will have to be run. The
greater open space will prove helpful,
pirticulary for supervisors who will be
better able to care for entrants and
their autos.
This is by way of %forecasting that
this years derby, to be held on July
30, will top last years race. Whining
ton business firms are pleased with
their opportunity to sponsor a racer
and several already have named their
entry.
Furthermore, several of last years
entries, profiting by the experience they
gained then, are busy building new
cars which will overcome construction
faults that held them back before and
are confident of establishing new speed
records.
AS always, the boys themselves must
build their own cars. Parental advice
is not prohibited, but all actual work
on the vehicle must be done by the
racer. Wilmingtonians are to witness
a stellar juvenile sports event. The
boy who tops the list will go to Akron
for the national finals with q fair
chance of returning home with top
prize.

Applying An Old Lesson

The Wall Street Journal harks back
to the early thirties to illustrate a
sound view on foreign loans.
1t asked a banker from the north
west why banks in the United States
were closing while banks across the
Canadian border were remaining open.
What follows, the Journal explains, ap-
piled to banking practices then, not
those Of today.
The question was answered in this
wise: an American borrower wanted
a loan, not only for seed but for a new
bathroom. Because the borrower was
Influential and perhaps because his
wife was a distant kin of the bankers
wife, he got all he asked. On the other
hand, the Canadian borrower, stating

In the same year they put up $35,817,-
900 in state motor fuel taxes.
You and you and you, brothers and
sisters, paid into the state treasury
SAG, 949, 900 in these two levies alone.
Over the country, total special taxes
paid by motor vehicle owners amount
ed to $4,000, 000, 900.
In the last quarter century we have
come to look on motor transportation
as a necessity. In light Of these figures
we would do we'll to recognize it as a

Shake the checkerboard a little

will come out of their holes and
run into new holes. There must
be just the right degree of motion
to make tine marbles run from one
hole to another without rolling off

tant thing to notice. for it tells

right degree of heat Cor notion

melt exactly at a certain tempera-
ture.
Take the board and shake it
quite hard. The marbles fly off
the board in all directions. They
are now behaving as molecules
would in a gas. and the only way
to keep them from leaving the
board is TO put a high rim around
it.

WASHINGTON. - Hottest topic
Of conversation in Washington to-
day is what John L. Lewis will
try. It would give Lewis and the
ley labor law. AS usual Lewis Is
playing his cards pretty close to
his chest, so nobody really knows.
But every labor lawyer in town
is exporting the situation, with
seine amazing deductions.
Most hopeful possibility is for
Lewis and the operators to get
together and make a new con-
tract. The Taft : Hartley amend
ments to the Wagner National
Labor Relations Act don't take eff
feet till Aug. %. Any new one
year agreement made between
Lewis and the coal operators
could therefore disregard entirely
these new restrictions.
This solution is about the only
hope for peace in the coal indus
try. 1t would give Lewis and the
operators time to work out a new
contract under the Taft-Hartley
law.
Chances for this happy solution
are considered slim. 1t will be re-
called that Lewis took a terrible
beating trom the government
earlier this year. a court injunc-
ton to force the United Mine
Workers to live up to terms of
the so-called Krug-Lewis contract.
The union and Lewis were both
fined.
Giving the Taft-Hartley bill the
worst possible Interpretation it
might be possible for Lewis to tie
up coal production for a year or
longer, acting within the law.
Lewis's contract with the gov
eminent expired June 80. The
mines returned to private owner

tween the union and the opera.

This is the third of a series OF
simple plays which too many peo'
pie miss. Some players lost the
contract on today's hand through
carelessness, some through greed.
North's bid over n spade is
open to discussion. I do not con-
slider his hand strong enough to
bid three spades. 1 would prefer
four spades rather than three, or
maybe two diamonds. In the lat
ter case South would have bid two
spades and North then could have
bid four spades. However, it is
the play in which we are more in
terested.
Declarer lost the first two club
tricks quickly, but he ruffed the
third club. Now he thought that
his whole problem was to guess
the diamond finesse correctly. But
why resort to a guess when there
is a safe way 10 play it? He should
cash the ace of hearts and ruff B
heart in dummy.
If he tagkes the spade finesse
now, West will win, lead back
either the king of hearts or a
spade, and declarer still will have
to guess the diamond.
After ruffing the heart in dunn
my, declarer should lead a spade
and go right up with the ace. Next
he should ruff his third heart in
dummy, and then lead a spade.
It is immaterial now who wins
it. In this case West will have to
win, and if he leads back a heart
or a club, declarer can ruff in
dummy and discard a diamond
from his own lind. If West leads
a diamond, declarer has a free

his similar case, was told, "You get the
money for the Seed"
On it's own account the Journal
sagely adds:
"Unless this country begins to ap-
ply that rule to it's foreign lending, I'M
less American money goes for the
'seed-that is for purposes that will
generate production - the American
economy is eventually in for the same
fate that overlook many liberal bank
ers."
This summation, we think, turns a
clear light on the principles of the
Marshall plan.

they are to be used.
It is the motion of molecules Of

contract between Lewis and the
operators.
There is also no chance for the
government to get another injunc-
ton against tine United Mine
Workers union. The reason is that
the Smith, onnally law which au-
horized the government to seize
a struck industry also expired on
June 30. Only way out Of that sit
uation would be for Congress to
repass the Smith = Connally Act.
The government would then have
to seize the mines again and re-
sign the Krug : Lewis contract,
which nobody wants.
The miners are on vacation till
July z. But the contract under
which they worked expired June
30. It is a tradition of the UNIV
that its members Go not work I'M
less they have a contract. So,
without actually going on strike,
the miners could just "stay away
from work" until a new contract
was signed or until the Taft-Hart-
ley amendments go into effect
Aug. %.
In the meantime, however, an
other section of the Taft-Hartley
law setting up a new, independent
Federal Mediation and Concili-
alton Service, would come into
play. 1t goes into effect immedi-
ately. Under this section the Serv-
ice would try to bring the miners
and operators together to write a

new contract.
Or if the President decided that
commerce or impaired national
health and safety, he could ap-
point a Board of Inquiry to study
the issues. This might take a
month.
After the Board had made its
report, the President would be
empowered by the Taft : Hartley
law to direct the attorney general
to ask the courts for an injunction
prohibiting the miners from strike

ed, the miners might ask for q
stay Of execution, and if that were
granted they could take the case fol
to the court of appeals and
Supreme Court. That might tie ur

for a couple of years.

MOLECULES IN MOTION
As told in Yesterdays articl,

As told in yesterdays article,
there are three forms or states OF
matter-solids, liquids and gases.
The way in which the molecules
of a substance stick together de-
termines its state. They stick to-
getaer tightly in a solid, not so
tightly in a liquid, and very loose
ly or not at all in q gas. Heat
can change a solid into a liquid,
and a liquid into a gas, for heat
causes the mosecules to vibrate
faster and faster and thus to
break apart.
The molecules in different sol.
ids herd together in different
ways. Many substances, such as
ice, diamonds and rubies, are
what we call cry,tals.
One Of the most remarkable
things about a crystal is its beau
tifully regular geometrical shape
If you take a piece Of salt, drop
it on a piece Of dark paper and
look at it with & powerful magnl-
flying glass, you will see that salt
crystals are perfect little cubes.
Sugar crystals likewise come in
regular shapes. though their
shapes are not usually as regular
as those of salt.
This regularity Of shape OF a
crystal means that in the solid
form the molecules can stick to-
gether only in certain positions.
You cannot imagine a lot OF bricks
making a firm wall unless the
bricks are stacked neatly.
To get a clearer idea Of the
regularity Of the molecules in a

with marbles and form them into
triangles or parallelograms. To

the little cubical salt crystals, you
will have to put marbles only in
every other hole.
If you move the board carefully,
the marbles stay in their holes.
