DOLL DRESSMAKER

Just imagine dressing 1000
dolls! Mrs. Sarah Smith had dress
ed that many three years ago, be-
fore she came to Kitty Hawk, since
when she has lost track of the
number. These are tiny baby dolls,
not as long as a child's little fin
ger. When she gets through with
them, each one is dressed for the
street with lace edged frock, slip,
diapers, crocheted sack and snug
fitting bonnet of lace with a ribbon
bow to match the pink or blue of
the sack. The little garments are
made by hand of finest mainsook,
featherstitched as daintily as real
baby's. These wee dolls are sold
mostly to grownups, to go in baby
shower gifts, for favors and such
uses. Mrs. Smith says she has new
err tired of making the tiny gar
ments, though she does it on an
assembly plan. For instance, she
makes a whole pile of little dresses,
then a pile of petticoats and an
other pile of sacks, until she is
ready to dress an entire nursery
of dolls. Because she goes about
it that way, she has never deter
mined just how long it takes to
complete one dolls layette.

(Lenoir County News)

Old folks used to take sassafras
tea and the modern use Ex-Lax
but we prefer more violent pur-
gative and listen to Walter Win
chell on occasions when constipa-
ton troubles US. Last Sunday night
he spent a good part of his Their
apeutic Is minutes soldering over
the New York judges locking out
such imbeciles as himself from the
big vice trial.
WincheIl with his usual foam
g-at-the-mouth approach to
things predicted that the Supreme
Court of New York would throw
open the doors and let the muck
rakers, scandal-mongers and pres
situtes back in so they could linn
Der up their sorid adjectives and
fill the air and the wires with pure
filth.
The New York Supreme Court,
a group that we are sure has a
more profund grasp of the true
meaning of Freedom of The
Press" than Winchell kept the
court closed to him and his ilk.
We repeat what we said in these
columns a week or SO ago, that
until and unless the gentlemen of
the press begin to practice greater
restraint and more decency in
their writings of such matters
there will be a growing use of the
closed door procedure.
Publishing a newspaper is not
pandering to the Topographic
lusts of the public, or perhaps we
should say that it shouldn't be be-
cause in the past decade it has
largely fallen into that sad state of
disrepair.
We'd like to remind our Breth-
rem in this calling of the Press
that if we ever do have controls OF
the Press in this country it will be
caused by the reckless, often ma
licious disregard of the Press for
the rights of others. We newspap-
err folk are quick to say that if we
ever have socialized medicine in
this country it will be caused by
doctors and by the identical rea-
soning controlled press can only
result from the abuse of the great
powers that the Press now enjoys.
