TWO LEADERS PASS
Henry A. Page, Sr., died
Sunday from a heart ailment at
Aberdeen, where he spent most
of his mature years. He was a
member of a distinguisned fam
ily. He was a brother of Wal
ter H. Page, Ambassador to
England, Robert N. Page and
Frank Page, all distinguished
citizens, who held numerous
posts of honor and responsibili
ty. They Luilt railroads, es
tablished banks and were pio
neers in the development of the
"Sanhills". The family repre
sented citizenship of the finest
type. The funeral rites were
conducted Monday from Page
Memorial church, Aberdeen,
and his remains sleep in Bethes
da church yard where the other
brothers sleep.
James H. Pou of Raleigh, 76,
regarded as the State's most
distinguished lawyer. H e
passed a day or two before Mr.
Page. Senator J. W. Bailey
married the only daughter of
Mr. Pou. He was first and
last a lawyer. While a
Democrat, he did not mix
much politics along with his
career. At one time he and
Senator Simmons were law
partners.
These two men left their im
press upon the days in which
they lived, and the State is
richer for their lives.
From Communist sources
comes the information that
there are 30,00Q Communists in
the United States. Not much
danger of that number over
throwing a government of 130
millions, yet there is no desire
on the part of r e d-b 1 ooded
Americans that the breed in
crease. Not half of the num
ber is native, which furnishes a
tip as to the class of immigrants
that should be barred.
A Congressional committee is
probing Associated Gas and
Electric and subsidiaries, grow
ing out of a Senate lobby in
vestigation. From small be
ginnings during the depression
they gathered in millions and
spent around a million in lobby
fees. Howard C. Hopson, big
boss and brains of the combine,
is not to be found so far. If
shareholders poured their money
in a rat hole as they did in the
Insull debacle it has not yet
been shown.
A 25-year old negro named
Govan Ward was lynched nt'ar
Louisburg Tuesday morning,
taken from the sheriff and two
deputies. First he assaulted a
young white man, hit his own
sister, then he killed a 60-year
old farmer, Charles G. Stokes,
and with an axe completely
severed his head from his body.
Was still wild when overpower
ed by the officers. No cause is
assigned for the outbreak. The
Governor has ordered an inves
tigation to begin this morning.
It had been - nearly two years
since the last lynching in this
State.
M u 8 s o 1 i ni may be, is, no
boubt, far ahead of the Ethio
pian monarch in culture accord
ing to European ideals, hut the
Ethiopians know d thing or
two. They know an army
must have water as well as
guns, powder and shells. There
was a clash between Italian
troops and Ethiopians a few
days ago. Incidentally, 20
Ethiopians and 40 Italians were
killed. The Ethiopians chang
ed the flow of a stream from
which the Italians got their
water supply and forced a re
treat. The Ethiopians are not
so dumb as Mussolini had reck
oned.
If Italy happens to go to war
with Ethiopia, and it looks
like it is something that is go
ing to happen, she will need
gold provided, she may want to
negotiate a loan. During the
World War Italy borrowed
from England and made the
gesture of placing $100,000,000
in England's vaults as a sort of
earnest of good faith. It takes
something besides pretty pieces
of paper to wage war, buy
arms, provisions and munitions.
With nothing else than the gov
ernment's unsupported naked
pledge to guarantee a loan, es
pecially when that government
has defaulted in its obligations,
it is not so easy to negotiate a
loan. Now that Italy owes
Britain, Britain is not turning
the gold loose until she has
been satisfied. John Bull is
long-headed when it comes to
driving a bargain. On such
occasions sentiment fades out
of the picture.
Henry Ford and Mussolini
had birthdays this week. On
Monday the latter was 52, and
the former was 72 Tuesday.
Going at his precarious gait, it
is wondered where or what
Mussolini will be when he
reaches 72.
LUCKY PIECES PLAY
BIG ROLE IN EXAMS
Students Have Many Ways of
Preparing for Quiz.
Philadelphia.?At examination time a
student's fancy turns to thoughts of
study?and superstitions.
University of Pennsylvania students
revealed a myriad assortment of luck
pieces upon entering classroom for
examinations. Favorite sweaters, spe
cial pencils, peach-stone rings, lucky
dollar bills and lucky neckties are only
a few of the charms carried by the su
persitlous.
There' are some who have unbounded
faith in the practice of drinking a large
glass of apricot Juice before entering
class.
Late arriving students ore over
looked during exam week because they
contend a chat while waiting for the
examination to begin straightens out
the "cramming." Ordinarily profes
sors require students to be on time.
A piano in the engineering building
was constantly In use during exam
week by the students to relieve the
tension before starting a three-hour
test
Many methods of relieving the strain
have been noticed. Woman students
make dresses or bats the night before,
while basketball, theaters and movies
are the diversions of the men.
Students are at odds as to the best
methods of studying. Some can study
only in groups, while others wish soli
tude. Several students rented vacant
dormitory rooms in order to be aloDe.
There are others who go into the cel
lars and study.
School officials were confronted with
an almost universal request to allow
smoking In the examination rooms. The
authorities do not permit this, but
many professors were liberal about It
Creates New Ihstrument
to Produce Rustic Music
Clear Lake, Wis.?A three-tined
pitchfork, a milk can and a piece of
wire combined with chance recently
In the hands of George Dimes to cre
ate a new instrument for producing
rustic melody.
Dimes, while mending farm ma
chinery, tightened a piece of wire
over a milk can with a three-tlned
pitchfork. Ue happened to touch the
wire and was pleased with the musi
cal sound It made.
Experiments resulted In the follow
ing arrangement, on which be has ap
plied for a patent: One end of a
wire Is attached to the fork handle,
the other end to the middle tine. The
fork handle Is Inserted In a slot In
ttie bottom of the can to keep It from
sliding. Dimes then fastens one tine
In a loop attached to his chest. He
draws a violin bow across the wire
pith one hand while sliding a cigar
kox op and down it with the other to
jrarf the tone. .

Madison, Wis.?When a coach asks
a prospective center If he Is a musi

candidate might suspect. Dr. Clarence

University of Wisconsin, revealed
here.
A knowledge of music is a valuable
asset to a good center, Spears ex
plained. In addition to big hands
and ability to pass accurately, a sense
of rhythm and timing is one of the
most essential qualifications of a cen
ter. the coach said.
The center position is the most Im

cause his pass initiates every play and
a bad pass makes the play at least

Two Invalids Swamped
by Offers of Advice
Mtincie, [nd.?Letters from all over
tlie nation flood the sickroom here of [
Charles and William Wagner, victims
of a disease which Is slowly causing
petrification of the muscles.
Some of the letters express sym
pathy. Others ertend self-appointed
advice on how to cure the disease,
which doctors have called incurable.
A message from Texas tells how "a
pretty girl was saved from turning to
stone" by a diet. An Illinois woman
who was "similarly afflicted 30 years
ago" says she was cured by herbs.
A New Tork man writes, "I have In
my power to completely cure this dread
disease but lack the carfare to come to
Muncle." A New Tork astrologer be
lieves that he could help. I.etters from
faith healers are numerous.
