The people Of Houston and com.
munity were greatly shocked on
Saturday morning when they re.
ceived the sad news Of the death
of Mrs. Rattle Melvin Scott, about
5 O'Clock. She was on the way to
the hospital, but passed away be,
fore reaching that institution. She
had beer in poor health for ouite
some time. She had lived in and
near Houston the greater part OF
her life. She was very friendly
person, always so bright and cheer
fui and a good neighbor. Ratie was
indeed a very lovely being. She
was the widow of the late Heber
F. Scott and is survived by a
daughter, Mrs. Howard Smith and
one son, Edward Scott. Funeral
services were held on Sunday af-
ternOOn at 4 o'clock with Rev. w
s. Grant, her pastor, in charge of
the services which were held in the
Berry Funeral Home in Milford

We are glad to report Mrs. Elmer
Dawson, who underwent a verv
serious operation one week ago on
Monday in the Memorial Hospital
Wilmington, is doing very we'll and
the doctor thinks she is going to
be all right. We hope She makes a
speedy recovery.
We are very happy to welcome
into our midst, Mr.. and Mrs. Snaclr
and family, who just recently MIR
chased the John Cain property and
we hope they will like our town
and its people.

penings in Centerville during the
past two years, and assured that
his folks were well.
He took Sadie out to dinner, and
delighted in showing her around.
She seemed a little awed by it all,
and more awed by Bart's indiffer-
ence to the many wonders.
"You get used to it after a
while" he said indifferently, and
stood gazing thoughtfully at the
many lights along Broadway. He
felt enlightened and no longer
homesick. Strangely enough the
noise and hustle associated them
selves in his mind with Sabina. He
was glad to be a part of it all.
He gazed furtively at the comely
Sadie and pictured her in the rural
setting of Centerville.
They attended a theater and
dined afterward at an exclusive
night club. Sadie would have liked
to 60 back to the hotel, but she
wanted to please Bart.
"Bart," she said, when at
last they stood outside the door
to her room. "When are you
coming home? When are you
going to give up all this and
come back where you belong?"
Bart looked down into her eyes
and saw something that two years
ago he had longed to witness. He
sighed deeply.
Sadie, it's been just great see
ing you. Just what needed. A sort
Of tonic" He smiled at her gently.
"I'm not going back just yet, Sa-
die. There's something keeping
me here, something that before l
never knew existed. I know now
that it's something greater than
anything. Some time I'm coming
back, and when I do there'n be

Germans Mad About
BurIesque Shows

Nearly every big-city German
night club has at least one female
performer whose speciality is un-
dressing in public The customers
flock in droves to this. new wrinkle
in German entertainment. It re-
minds old time Germans of the
spicy entertainment that sprang
up after World War l.
The girl most West Germans
prefer to see is a sloe-eyed
brunette named Laya Raki. She
says she is half Dutch and half
Indonesian.
She does a dance called 1.-THE
Indian Gravestone" which def
initely is out of the cemetery class
and which leaves her quite chilly
from the waist up. Since Miss
Raki is a girl who might give
pause to Jane Russell, the GUS
toners love it.
They blow foam off seidels of
beer and applaud wildly when her
gold scarf is discarded and she
dances in a smile and a G-string.
A tour of Frankfurt night clubs
yields a bounteous harvest of I'm
dressed entertainment, but the
German version of the American
strip tease rarely is subtle.
In one night club a flashily
dressed master of ceremonies an
nounced Miss so-and-so would
dance tango.
A weary orchestra thumped
away while a black-haired frau
lein trudged aimlessly about wear
ing a G-string and two feather
fans. Occasionally she dropped
her fans to bare her chest to the
enthusiastic audience.
1t was anything but tango but
nobody seemed to mind.
One night club run by a German
woman has rung in another YER
sion of undressed entertainment.
Every night at IL o'clock TO-
minute motion picture of semi
nude girls is shown.
The scenes are set in the night
club. While a man and woman
hold hands amorously, girls with
bare chests and loin cloths made
of artificial butterflies or orchids
shipper dainty.
1t has the place packed every
night.

when he rang the bell. Moreover,
there were no tracks in the snow
to indicate that an ambulance or
any other vehicle had pulled up in

Puzzled, he went to the office Of
a real estate agent on the next
street and asked if he could get
some information about the resi-
dents of the house.
THAT'S A FUNNY sort Of ques-
tion," said the agent. "There aren't

It wasn't as if the city hadn't
been kind to Bert. It had. It had
taken him to its bosom, and he had
prospered. Nor had he been un-

noise, the hustle and hustle. And
most of all he loved a girl.
Tonight, lying on the divan in
the living room of the apartment,
Bart was troubled with an annoy
ing thought. He wondered, strange
ly, which he wanted most: Sabina's
love or the country.
It was at this particular moment
in Bart's speculation that the tele-
phone rang. A strangely familiar
feminine voice answered.
"HelIo, there, Bart" the
voice said. "This is Sadie
Blake, fresh in from the old
home town. Come down and
talk to one Of your forgotten
friends"
Bart's pulse leaped. Sadiel His
boyhood pal! Sadie, whom one day
he expected to marryl Sadie, in
the city. Here! Now! Fresh from
Centerville, with news and notes
of the old home town galore.
At that moment Sabina Gouu-

Your Paper
Those Changed
News Items
BY William r. Nelson

"WHENEvER bring in a news
" item, why do you always
change it all around?"
That question is one Of the most
frequently asked in every home
town newspaper office in the coun-
try. Sometimes it is asked In con-
siderable evaporation.
The answer is, of course, that
news stories are easier to read,
better understood, take less space,
when they are written to conform
to somewhat flexible pattern. That
style, developed over the years, Is
fairly uniform in all newspapers
because it was designed to evaluate
the facts for their news value and
tell them quickly and clearly.
=, :, A well writ
Lead ten, straight
Is news story pre-
Inclusive sents its out
standing infor-
nation in the opening paragraph,
or lead. What follows after that Is
notification, additional details.
There are excellent reasons why
news story style is best, among
them: (D The reader can quickly
read the lead, and quit there If the
story fails to interest him or her.
~ 1t permits cutting or reducing
the length Of story, to get it into
particular place in the paper, by
eliminating from the bottom. AS
these bottom paragraphs contain
less important details, their re-
moval will not seriously reduce the
information the story is conveying.
The editor tries to pack his pa
per with as much news as he can
get, written in clear, readable style,
and arranged to give the paper q
varied and attractive appearance.
Yet he cannot prepare the entire
content of an issue in an hour or a
day.
-, Because writ
WHtten ing, editing,
to FIT tting type,
The Space putting the type
in the page
forms, and printing, addressing and
delivering take time, they must
start early enough to conclude at
specified time each issue. If news
stories are not written so they can
be made to fit the space assigned
to them, much time will be lost and
the paper will contain fewer stories
and be less interesting.
The editor is a specialist whose
stock-in-trade is an understanding
of what interests people. He well
comes news and does his best to
present it in accurate, readable, in
teresting form.
Next time you bring in a news
item, and it is Changed all
around" remember that it was re-
written into news style to help you
make it of interest to the greatest
possible number of readers.
