The senate has voted in favor of
this country’s entering the world
court, and provision has been made
for sharing in the arms conference to
be held soon. Opponents ot tne lea
gue of nations feel that the country is
entering the league by the back door
We discover that we have the ini
tials of Mr. V/ M. Dorsett as V I
when his announcement or candidacy
for the senate was made. Mr. Dor

The last few weeks have been dis
astrous by land and sea.
wrecks, coal mine explosions, and ship
wrecks have taken an extraordinary
toll of life, while the number of live,
snuffed out in automobile clashes hat
held , its steady scoring. One a da.,
was the rate of deaths due to automo
biles in North Carolina last year, anc
the rate seems to be maintained pret
ty well the first month or IJ3o.
Stacey Brewer, who leased the
Sanford Banner for six months with
the idea of buying if he found th.
situation to his liking, gives up the
paper this week, with the statemen.
that he finds there is not bus n
enough to enable him to run th.
“kind of paper' he would like to
make” If all the publishers of
weeklies quit till they could make
the kind of paper they would hke to
make, we imagine there wou.d be few
left It is fortunate, though, tha.
one'man is able to maintain his ideal
o? quit. The most of us have to plod
‘ on making the kind of paper the m- 1
come 1 will justify, instead of what we
should like to make. Mr. Brewer
turns the paper back to Mr. Hall, who
has recently taken a special course m
a famous institution and returns to
the work apparently as fit as a fid

Eyes Need Extra Care
When Lights Are Poor
Autumn and winter months are try
ing where artificial light Is not of the
best. The eyes need great care if
they are to remain in good condition ;
under the strain.
If the eyes give any definite trouble i
an oculist should, of course, be con- I
suited at once. But a simple home
treatment will not only act as an effi
cient “refresher,” but will also rid the
eyes of all harmful secretions of dust.
Make a weak solution of boraeic pow
der (about one teaspoonful to a pint
of boiling water) leave to cool, bottle
and cork tightly. Use this in an eye
bath w hich can be bought of a drug
gist.
Night and morning give the eyes a
good “bath,” using a fresh bathful of i
, v 1
the solution for each eye. Once you t
have started the treatment you will 1
rind it so beneficial that you will con- j
tinue all the year round, much to the *
Improvement of vour eves.
Where Columbus Trod '
“All day long we eat the sun,” is the
delightful way in which a Santa Fe
cafekeeper described life in that city
about Christmas time. When you con
sider that a cool wind from the snowy
Paraganda gives zest to the sun feast,
this City of Sacred Faith, where Moor
ish feet have never trod, deserves men
tion, especially as a rendezvous for
Americans. For over its Pinos-Puento
Columbus once journeyed on his way
to France after he wus repulsed by
Spain as a visionary, and it was op the
same bridge that stands today that the
queen's messenger caught up with him
and told him that his plans were fa
vored, and, weeping for joy, he turned
to make Spain his embarkation lanji
on his memorable voyage to America
A picture of this bridge should be Id
every American schoolhouse.
Happiness in Duty.'
Whosoever goes to his work rejoic
ing in the vigor of a generous motive
whosoever abandons a vice because
fascinated by the idea of self-contro’
and the loveliness of the better way
whosoever goes aside to do a kindnes:
out of the pure love of the neighboj
Manifestly finds the ground of hi
coatent in the surrender of himself tv
what seems to him richly to deserve
the service he pays. The content E
loved not because it is a gratification
but because It is the frame whicl
suits this service. Alf other searcl
for happiness fails, because it is reall;
the effort to satisfy some instinct
whose very essence it is not to be sal
isfied, but to crave ceaselessly an<
forever. —Samuel Johnson, in "Tlx

THE CHATHAM RECORD
Whispered Speech and
Received Big Ovation
A prominent suburbanite, who is well
know r n as a speaker in fraternal or
ganizations, recently had occasion to
go to a northern city to make an ad
dress at a dedication.
When ho arrived in the city he was
so hoarse that he could scarcely be
heard. The committee of reception
was dismayed. “Why not take some
Turkish baths today?” was suggested.
“Ail right,” he responded in a whis
per, “I’ll try it.” So he went through
a steaming process, and sure enough,
in the evening his voice had come
back to him to an extent.
When he arose at Lie meeting he
apologized by saying that he had prac
tically lost his voice, but, that after
years, he would put into practice a
* precept of an old elocution professor,
to whisper so that everyone who would
! be attentive could understand each
j word. So lie whispered his speech.
He was given an ovation —the great
est he had ever had. Later, in speak
! ing of it, he said: “That was one of
! the principles laid down by Professor
| Neff years ago.
“He asserted that articulation was
necessary in public speaking and that
the voice could be pitched in any key
or could be loud or soft. I remember
as though it were yesterday when I
, stood on a platform in a large hall and
| whispered to him as he sat at the
j other end of the hall. He heard me
perfectly. It was all due to articula
tion.” —Philadelphia Record.
Chronic Worry Never
Solved Real Problem
We all know the chronic worrier!
The woman who always sees calamity
ahead. Each new event that comes
or threatens to come, is for her a new
matter ;./ apprehension.
To be sure, most of the things she
worries about never happen, and the
1 real problems of her life are not the
! things she foresaw in time to fear,
i But the fact remains that she squan
( ders her vitality and her nervous sys
| tern, maybe ruins her good digestion,
and brings wrinkles into her face,
worrying.
And she accomplishes nothing with
all this tremendous waste of emotion.
Things happen just as they would
have if she could have remained calm
and tranquil about things.—Montreal
Family Herald.
Islands Part of America
The Virgin islands in the Caribbean
sea were purchased Horn Denmark
for $25,000,000. The purchase was
made during the World war to shut
Germany out of a possible submarine
base. But negotiations for the islands
had gone on intermittently for a half
century. Secretary Seward first opened
the question with Denmark at the
close of the Civil war. Denmark agreed,
the purchase was arranged and the
king bade farewell to his subjects,
then Sumner ln the senate killed the
ratification of the treaty. On another
occasion negotiations proceeded to a
final stage, only to be rejected by the
Danish parliament. The price pild
amounted to about S3OO an acre for
land worth for peace time purposes
possibly S2O an acre. —Kansas City
Star.
Nursery for Children
Some young mothers are so exer
cised over the thought of germs that
they won’t let their babies or children
play on the floor. They let them tum
ble or sit up to a table to play. Now
really, this seems a shame when chil
dren of , all ages enjoy “scooting
around” so much. No cutting table or
dining table can compare with a floor
for a place on which to build blocks or
set up railroad tracks. Why don’t these
people have a nursery with a floor kept
clean enough and dustless enough to be
played upon? Have this room kept for
the children to play in and see that
they wear little house slippers or san
dals when playing there and that no
grown-up enters who wears shoes that
have trod the streets.
