King vowed never to trust any
woman and ordered the Queen
and her court to be beheaded.
King Shahryer vowed that he
would marry only virgins and af-
ter the wedding night. Stay the
bride the next morning to make
sure of his honor. He kept this
vow and bride after bride was
slain until the people began to
fear the king and hide their
daughters.
One day when the Kings Chief
Wazir failed to bring him a bride.
he sent his Minister forth to
search for one and he found none.
Fearful for his life, the Minister
returned home in sorrow. He had
two beautiful daughters, Scheher-
azade and Dunyazade. Schehera-
zade was intelligent, beautiful,
witty, wise and well read. She
finally convinced her father to
permit her to marry King Shah
ryer.
The King was overjoyed at one
so beautiful and Scheherazade

gifts and when everything was in
readiness, Shah Zaman, thinking
he had forgotten something at the
palace, returned privily and en-
tered his apartments where he
found the Queen, his wife, asleep
on his own carpet with her con-
sort. Raging the Shah drew his
scimitar and slew them both.
Telling no one of his lost honor,
he journeyed to his brothers
kingdom and there was received
with much joy and celebration
which lasted for days and days
and which the young Shah did not
enjoy because he was sick over
the unfaithfullness and infidelity
of his wife whom he had slain.
King Shahryer worried about
his brothers illness and did ev-
erything to please him. but the
young Shah bore his grief and
mental anguish alone. The elder
brother prepared for a great hunt,
for in those days, hunting was
one of the favorite pastimes of
the king, Since the Shah refused

to go, King Shahryer and his
slaves went alone.
AS soon as the King left, Shah
Zaman sitting in a window of the
palace, saw his brothers wife, the
Queen. and her 20 slave girls
come into the palace garden to
battle and 10 of the slaves were
women and 10 were men. A con-
sort of the Queens was hidden in
a tree. The Shah watched the
gamboling and antics of the Queen
and her Court and he shed tears
for his brother because the same
thing was happening to his bro
Their as had happened to him.
When the elder brother return
ed and saw that the Shahs illness
had improved, he wanted to know
why. Finally. and reluctantly the
younger brother told him why he
had been i'll and what he had seen
in the garden.
King Shahryer was furious and
he later through a masquerade
saw the same scene in the garden
himself. Disguised and raging, the

kingdom-old and young, rich and
poor alike.
Since the two dominions were
far apart, the brothers did not
often see each other. One day the
elder brother, King Shahryer,
yearned for the sight OF his
younger brother and since it was
unadvisable for him to travel such
distance to see the young Shah,
he wrote letter expressing his
warm love and great desire to see
him. In those days costly gifts
were sent TO expected guests as
additional impetus to an invita-
tion. King Shahryer sent hand
some gifts by his Minister. The
Minister with his precious and
\ costly gifts, travelled to Samar-
kand and was well received by
young Shah, who upon reading
his brothers letter was overjoy-
ed at the prospect of visiting his
elder brother. He prepared a re-
turn journey loaded with similar

Wall Street Journal
Says Profits High

The Wall Street Journal, the
Bible of the larger corporations,
last week reported that those same
corporations are doing all right for
themselves, regardless of any talk
about recession"
The Journal reports the results
of a survey of 500 leading cor
porations and states that they
topped their first quarter profits
of last year by a rousing 7.2 per-
cent.
Biggest advance in profits was
shown by the aircraft industry with
a jump. of 1924 per cent. Iron and
steel, that bellyacher about profits,
showed a gain of a mere 65.9 profit
increase. Mining and metals, now
laying off men to reduce "losses"
showed profit jump of 62.2 per
cent. Textiles, building materials,
food products and several more did
take losses.

Take II Easy on The 4
And Be Alive on the 5

Going ON where over the
Fourth of July?
If you are, then plan your trip
safely. But even if you stay home,
keep safety in mind for the Fourth
of July holiday-one of the most
dangerous weekend of the year.
That is the advice of the National
Safety Council, which is coordinat-
ing a nationwide campaign to hold
down the usual upSurge in acci-
dental deaths during the Indepen-
dence Day celebration. One hun
dred and thirty national organiza-
tons, as we'll as state and ity pub
lie officials, are cooperating in the
effort.
Motor vehicle accidents lead the
list of holiday hazards, the Council
said. Drowning from swimming and
fishing accidents is the second big
gest risk. Other deaths are due to
fireworks and firearms, Sunstroke
and heat exhaustion, food poison
ing, falls and miscellaneous acci-
dents.
The death toll for the month of
July last year was 800, the Coun-
Gil said. While it is impossible to
determine the exact number of
deaths from all causes occurring
during the Fourth of July holiday,
the Council said the total was well
above the average for other days
of the month.
The Council expects more pleas
ure-Seeking holiday motorists to
pile into more cars and roll up
more miles during this one weekend
celebration than ever before in the
nations history. More than 33 mil
lion motor vehicles will be on the
move during the holiday. The in
creaSing number of new cars on
the road and the substantial rise
in gasoline consumption this year
indicate a heavy death toll-unless
everyone is fully aware of the holi-
day hazards and makes a real eff
fort to avoid them.
There are two ways to hold
down deaths during a holiday
period such as the FOURTH" said
Ned H. Dearborn, president of the
Council.
Zone is for police, beach guards
and others who have some authori-
tative control over public safety to
be especially alert and vigorous in
their enforcement of same rules of
public behavior.
"The other is for all of us to
recognize that holidays are danger
days, and to drive a car, walk
across the street, swim, fish or
otherwise conduct ourselves in a
safe and prudent manner.
eff everyone would keep in mind
the words Take It Easy on the
Fourth-Be Alive on the Fifth
this Fourth of July would bring
much less tragedy and much more
pleasure"

country the dissemination of information OF military
character has been established

All of us realize the necessity for guarding information
which might be of value to foreign powers and which at
fects national security But that is different
thing the creation of apowerfu censorship board
which, if it desires, prevent any and all debate
upon policy by the people who know the most ABOUT IT,
and abolish informed criticism If that happens the c
zens of the country will know much as little about

Farm Mortgage
Debt Increases

The national farm-mortgage dept
on January l was more than i've
billion dollars, or nearly a quarter
of a billion dollars higher than d
year earlier, according to c. Brlce
Ratchford, in charge of farm man
agement for the State College Ex-
tension Service.
Quoting information just releas-
ed by the U. S. Department OF AZ
riculture's Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, Ratchford said the IN
crease in the farm-mortgage debt
during 194S was more than double
the increase shown during 1947.
Although a rise was shown Tor
the country as a whole, five states
Minnesota. North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, and Illinois --
continued to show a decline. The
194S increase in North Carolina
was 1.3 per cent, and the increase
for this state since January l, 1870
has been 25.3 per cent.
Ratchford said farmers appar-
entity have found uses for their IN
come other than debt retirement.
They have continued at replace
WORKOUT equipment and make nee
cssary repairs and improvements
AT costs which are still relatively
high, he added.

ignated by Secretary of Agrcul-
ture, Charles F. Brannan as the
date for holding flue-cured tobacco
marketing quota referendum, &C
cording to r. r. Bennett, extension
tobacco specialist at State College.
Tobacco growers in the six tlue-

whether they approve marketing
quotas for 1850, 1851 and 1852; for
1850 only; or are opposed to quotas.
The Agricultural Adjustment ACT
of 1888 as amended requires the
proclamation of marketing quota
whenever it is found that the total
supply of flue-cured tobacco as Oh
the beginning of the marketing
year exceeds the reserve supply
level as defined in the act. Inc
1850 quota will be proclaimed on or
about July 1 of this year.
