With the high speeds of which modem motor ears are cap- ahio and the excellent highways to be tonnd generally thronghout the country, it is true that a lot of miles may be driven in a day. On the other hand, driving a mo tor car fast demands such a high degree of concentration that it puts a strain on the nervous ays- tem. "It is my opinion that the mo torist who covers 250 or 300 miles a day will enjoy himself much more than one who exceeds that. One of the delights of tour ing is to enjoy the open air and the scenery. Certainly the driver who is going at -high speed can’t see much of anything save the road.

Brame Elizabeth Barber Nina Call (Office Staff) fa coneerB' ad, tike' meat efficient speed for e motor car is between E5 and 45 an hour. Beyond that you liave to bum a lot of gas and oil to get extra miles. ’’ Of course, most modern ears give such ei- eeilent gasoline' mileage at any 'speed that the average driver is not greatly concerned about hold; ing down to the most economical level, but there are plenty -of thrifty folks who don’t like to throw away money even In small amounts. “For that matter, a speed of 45 miles an hour will enable one to cover a very long distance in a day’s driving. Maintaining that pace steadily is just as effective as tearing along at a much high er speed for short stretches and then having to slow down to meet road or traffic conditions. We all have had the experience of seeing somebody roar by at breakneck speed while we were doing a mod est 40 or 45 and then catching up to the speedster either at a light or when traffic became congested. In fact, 45 miles an hour as the top speed, and that pace main tained as steadily as laws and traffic conditions permit, will pro'/ide all the miles that the average man can drive in a day without fatigue. Modern cars are comfortable and ea?v to handle, but still there is some work at tached to driving them and I recommend a day’s trip that will leave one fresh and exhilarated at evening Instead of all fagged out. On bright days, eye strain is a factor to be reckoned with and the taster one drives the more he is exposed to this. You’ll find that the driver who takes a reasonable pace arid'bold? it for a reason able number of hours esoanes the headaches that come so often to th( faster driver. And he’ll see a lot more of the country.’’ Survey Of Crops Near Completion Raleigh.

Wuhlngton, July 23. fAtttb- caster)—With the' President fish- ing for wahoos and rooster fish Off the coast of Lower California, Washington political observers are trying to make a fair apprais al of the effects of his cross-con tinent .speaking tour, .while the economists in the ...government service are studying the business situation and patting forth fore casts of recovery with more tlmlsm than has bepD prevalent here for a year or more. The two thltigs tie' together. The political future of Roosevelt and his party is dependent to a considerable de.gree upon the ex tent of business recovery between now and the Congressional elec tions. The present signs Indicate that ordinary citizens will not be feel ing themselves quite so "hard up’’ by November as they have felt ever since last Pall. From the President’s tour two political conclusions are being drawn In which the most exper ienced observers here concur. One is that.there has been an amaz ing comeback in Mr. Roosevelt’s personal popularity, at least in the sections of the country which he visited. The otner conclusion is that the President took the advice of the Democratic National Chair man. Mr. Farlev, and did not try to rr-ad out of the Democratic party every Senator and Repre sentative who bad voted against any of his pet measures. The President dirt give person al indorsement to some of his loy al supporters, which was to have been expected, but did not go on the rampa.ge against many who had been strongly against him. Nothing like a "purge’’ of the party can be read into the record of tiip President’s speeches. Gamer’s Views That is not to say that the split n the Democratic party which Mr. Farjey so greatly deplores has been healed, but at least it has not been widened by anything Mr. Roosevelt said or did on his Western tour. Down in Texas Vico President Garner did a little talking, which has set political tongues wagging. Ho remarked, casually, that he did not seek a third term as Vice Pre.sidenl. This might mean any thing or nothing. If, as is believed bv many here, Mr. Garner has bis eye on the White House in 1940. it might mean that he was putting himself forward as the head of the Demo cratic ticket. It seems definitely to mean that the Vice President doesn’t think the President shonid .seek a third term, either. But net the least impressive incident of Mr. Roosevelt's trip was the presentation to him at Pueblo, Colorado, of a petition signed by more than 4,000 wage workers, demanding that he run for President again two years hence. Whether this is the beginning of an organized "popular’’ move ment for Mr. Roosevelt’s reaomi- nation, or a spontaneous gesture by a small group of voters, is a nuestion which is disturbing po litical Washington. If many more such petitions turn iip. it wiil be .looked upon .as proof that some one acting on Mr. Roosevelt’s be- liair is stirring up the animals in the political zoo, and trying to start a backfire against the Gar ner movement, which is gaining considerable headway. President’s PopulaJ-ity Mi Garner’s ambition for the Presidency in 1932 is recalled by the recent publication of Mr. Far- ley’.s own account of the Chicago convention, w'here the Texan was induced to withdraw in favor of Gov. Roosevelt and received the Vice Presidential nomination a- a consolation prize. In the light of several recent cross-sectic-n pods of voters indi- catin.g the rise in the President’s persinal popularity above the low point which it cad reached last Spring, estimates of gains in Re publican membership a t this year’s elections are being revised downward. A minimum of 35 additional seats tor the Opposition l.s con ceded. The belief '.hat tliere are 80 Congressional districts 1 u which the Republicans can win is not so widely held. I'horo are thirty districts in which a switch of one vote in twenty would change the result from that of There are 38 morJ di.Y.rkts n which only a ten percent shift would put a Republican in a Democrat’s place. That a lotal Republican gain of ^3 seals is an entirely reasoiia'ile evpecta'.iou )s the consensus of shrewd political opinion here. Election Barometers The election results may well depend upon economic condi tions. however. If employment in creases and if prices of consumer goods go down the average voter is considered likely to give the Democratic party credit. Much weight is given here to the fore cast of Leon Henderson, economic adviser to the Works Progress Administration. Mr. Henderson was the first t«j; sas» ^35'; Cleopa^a Won the l^ye of 'Who Ever CivecJ" This is a bit of the story of the most seductive sweetheart that ever' raised a man’s blood pressure. Her:’'name was Cleo patra, the qneen goddess of Egypt —the enchantress of the Nile. She hsr been dead for two thousand years, but her fame still glows ' brightly across the dead centuries. She committeed suicide when she was thlrtv-nlne; yet In her short riot of life, she won and held tho ardent love of two of the most famous men who ever walked the earth—Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. Caesar was fifty-four and bald- headed, and Cleopatra was exub erant with the vitality of a youth of twenty-one; and as Caesar looked upon her, he was lifted, as is by a tidal wave, to the foamy crests of love and ecstasy. By the ardor of her passion and the bril liance of her mentality, she made Caesar her willing slave for life. Months went by, and Cleopatra presented Caesar with a son—the only hon he ever had. Shortly aft before it happened. Now he an nounces that the nation is head ing not for a boom but for sound recovery. He quotes facts and figures to back up his forecast, and couples it with a warning a- gainsl letting consumer prices rise as business gets better. Another economic index which points to better times is the De partment of .\gricu!ture’.s mid summer wheat forecast. The out look on July 11, w'Len the fore cast 'was released, was for a wheat crop of 967 million bushels, the largest crop since 1915. With the machinery of the A.A.A in full operation to protect farmers against loss by reason of this "bumper’’ crop in this coun try and equally large production in the rest of the world, this will mean many more millions of dol lars in the pockets of farmers, which in turn is expected to mean greatly increased sales of all sorts of things the farmer buys, from automobiles, tractors and farm machinery down to clothing. er that, Caeaar was kssasalMted, and roaring old Mark Antony, ways drunk, always in.debt, be came the mightiest Roman of them all. Intoxicated with the wine of victory, Mark Antony led his armies Into the East, bent on loot and plunder and a life of dls slpatlon. Cleopatra trembled. How could she stop Antony? 'With ships and swords? Never. With love and caresses? Yes, may be. So with a flair fur the dramatic, with a genius for showmanship, she set out to meet Antony in a gilded ship with purple sails. Surround ing herself with all the pomp and pageantry of the Arabian Nights, she bad little boys, painted as Cupids, fanning her with peacock feathers, while voluptuous maid ens, swathed in silk, danced to the wild strains of desert music. The fragrance of burning incense Intoxicated the senses; and, in the midst of all this oriental glamour, Cleopatra lay on a silk en couch, enchanting, irresistible, posing as Venus, the Goddess of Love. Antony became so infatuated with her that he lost all semh lance of sense. He gave her the whole sea coast of Phoenicia as a present. Then he made her a gift of the province of Jericho, the is land of Cyprus, the island of Crete. Finally, as a grand climax to all his lavishness, he handed over to her the whole province of Asia. The news of these gifts set Rome seething with hate and boil ing w'ith fury. What? Was all this territory, bought with a hun dred battles and paid for in Ro man blood, to be tossed away like a bauble to satisfy the whims of an Egyptian mistress? The answer was WAR. Cleopatra’s hour had struck. She had overplayed her hand. The day of awful reckon ing had come, and Rome rose in its mighty wrath, destroyed the ships of Antony and Cleopatra and routed their armies.
