There is every reason to believe the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will become a reality before long. A bill providing for govern ment operating of the park has been introducd in both the House and Sen-, ate and there is reason to believe it will be passed. The fact that the government is ready to take over the great mountains does not mean that the people of North Carolina and Tennessee are through with their part of the proj ect. They have raised sufficient funds to assure a park, but just the same they will be called upon for addition al funds until the 700,000 acre tract has been bought. The $1,000,000 raised in North Carolina came from the western sec tion of'the State almost Exclusively. The message of the park has not been successfully carried to other parts of the State, but when this is done we feel reasonably sure the other sections will respond in the same generous manner as did the people in the west. There will be no difficulty about the money, we believe, once the park is opened. When the people see it’s grandeur and influence on Che life and business conditions of our people they will respond even more liberally than they have done in the past. Park experts who have visited all parts of the United States are agreed that no spot in America offers more spectacular i scenery than the Smoky Mountains where is to he located the park. It is an ideal spot, from the viewpoint of beanty, and in addition it is an ideal spot from the viewpoint of natural resources. When we pre serve this great park space we pre serve the source of several rivers that send dancing away waters that create power for industrial plants in all parts of the State. THE GOVERNOR’S WARNING. Governor McLean is concerned with the manner in which people of North Carolina are destroying their forests. Declaring the State’s forests “are our greatest potential source of wealth,” the Governor warns the peo ple to be careful of forest fires and other methods that tend to waste onr forests. Forest fires arc all waste, to be sure. When the trees burn we lose even that money that comes when , our forests are sold and cut for com -1 mercial purposes. It is with the fires . that the Governor is especially con cerned and he states that “I have de termined to recommend'to the next general assembly legislation which will enable the State Forest Service to' expand its forest protection pro gram throughout the State, and to ac complish this there mnst be steady ' ’ : *1 . * 1 i and hearty co-operation of the county officials, the land owners, and the fed eral government.” The governor emphaitzed the value of the forests to the development of the State, and the annual loss from fire to "more than a million dollars a year,” and deplored the fact that, in the face of these conditions, the de partment of conservation and develop is "receiving co-operation for forest fire control from only thirty connties out of one hundred. “Rapidly thinning forests, dwindling production, and a loss from forest fires of more than a million dollars a year yet the State department of con servation and development is receiving co-operation for forest fire control from only thirty counties out of one hundred, and some of these are only half heartedly in /the work." COTTON SPINNING ACTIVITY. Despite apparent dull times with cotton mills, cotton spinning showed greater activity during Match than in February, and also than in March of last year, the Census Bureau’s month ly report today showed. Active spindle hours for March to talled or an average of ■242 ficturs per spindle in place, com pared with 8.093.554,968. or an av erage of 214 for February this year: and 8.599,440.113 or an nvernge of 226 for March last year.

Wife’s Kitchen Diary Spring Days in the RAXVTI CELERY EN CASSEROLE Daring this season winter vege tables are liable to “fall off” in flavor, fresh vegetables are expen sive and hard to get, and canned vegetables may begin to pall. Now more than ever, the housewife needs to turn to the casserole to make the most in flavor and savor of whatever vegetables she finds available. • The French have long used the casserole method of cooking vege tables. To them it is a tightly covered sauce pan which holds the heat well. In such a vessel vege tables are cooked in the steam of their own juices and the best of the original flavors thus preserved. Slow baking or cooking also causes the vegetables to absorb seasonings or sauces, which add so much to their appetizing qualities. Casse roles should, of course, have covers that set well Into the vessels, mak ing them as nearly steam-tight as possible. The following Is a tempting and unusual dish: Wash two bunches of celery thor oughly. cut into two-inch lengths, and let blanch In equal quantities of boiling water and milk for fif teen minutea Then remove the celery and let It cool. Add one tablespoonful of butter blended with one tableepoonful of flour, some pepper and salt, to one cup ful of the milk and water stock. Arrange the celery in a buttered enameled ware baking dish and when the sauce Is smooth remove It from the lire and beat two eggs Into it. Pour (he sauce over the celery, spread the top thickly with bread crumbs and put the dish in the oven. Cook tt covered for twenty minutea. .then uncover it and let It brown nicely before serving. Although enameled ware Is eas ily cleaned because or Its porcelain like surface, greasing the casserole before the food Is placed Imo it makes it a little easier to handle. , RED KIDXEY-BF.ANS AND CHEESE The typical American Is not eas ily drawn from the dinner potato while that vegetable Is to be hud at Its best, but when potatoes are scarce and poor, as they are tn various sections of the country at present, the housewife and hey family welcome the many hearty vegetables and cereals that are the potato’s Just competitors Different varieties of dried beans and peas, hominy, rice, macaroni and spa ghetti may be served in palatable dishes that will find special favor on potatoless menus Some o’s these dishes, such as the following, may form the main dish of the meal: Boak one pint and a half of dried red kidney-beans In a quart and a half of water over night 801 l slowly tn fresh water for a few hours until tender, adding salt to flavor toward the end of the cook ing process. Then heat a can of tomato pulp or simmer a can of tomatoes In an enameled ware saucepan until they are a. thick pulp.

Whep the tomatoes are partially done, add a small green pepper, prefer ably, or a quarter of a good-sized onion, minced. Toast and butter some thin slices of bread and keep them hot. Melt a teaspoonful of butter In a small saucepan or double boiler and Into this put a quarter of a pound of mild, fresh American cheese. Heat It over a very "little fire” until It Is of the consistency of butter and then beat It into the hot tomtato' mixture. Pour the topiatoes over the beana Serve on a hot platter with the toast hair-showing at the edges. SHRIMP OMELET The routine duty of meal plan ning Is a hardship for most house wives. It Is without doubt the mos: difficult problem of the household As soon as one meal is over she hai to think Immediately of what she will serve the family when thei next gather round the table. It Is possible, of course, for th> housewife to manage things so thai she will have a certain amount ot freedom from this task. If shi keeps a well-stocked pantry and t scrap book of quickly prepareo dishes, a simple, yet satisfying meal is easily prepai’vd with ver; little forethought. Omelets which are very nutritious, may be pre pared In many varieties, and shrimp omelet 1* a new kind whict is appropriate to the season. Separate six eggs, beat whites un til stiff and the yolks until creamy Add six tablespoonfuls of hot wa. ter, one rieaspovn salt, and one and one-half teaspoonfuls baking pow der to the yolks. Fold in the whites. Pour Into a heated enam eled ware baking dish which ha: been well greased with melted but ter. and bake hi a moderate over for about fifteen minutea Whet done, cover with the shrimp which has been drained, minced and sea soned with the Juice of one lemot and paprika. Serve from the chlna-llke dish it which it is baked. h > STUFFED PEPPER—A NEW WAY The many ways ot stuffing greet, peppers are well known to the av erage housewtfe, but unless she has experimented with baked ome lets or eggs baked with vegetables it has probably not occurred to her that eggs combined with other in gredients make an excellent filling for green peppera Parboil six green peppers for five minutes, then cut off the_atem ends and remove the seeda Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter tn an enameled ware sauce pan. add one finely chopped onion and cook until golden brown. Then stir in three tablespoonfuls of fine br-rad crumbs and season with salt, p-.-pper and catsup.

SYNOPSIS Marie Downey, a country girl at Innocent at pretty, thinkt that be cause Clifford Dudley, a matinee idol, kittet her, they have thus be come engaged: and naively follows him to New York: Clifford schemes to get rid of the unsophisticated girl without unpleasant publicity. Sally, an actress, befriends Marie, getting her a chorus fob. Marie, defending Cliffords reputation, in forms the chorines she is his be trothed. This announcement leaks to the papers and is a bombshell to Clifford's distracted backers, who tear ruin of show. CHAPTER V—(Continued) “You shut your mouth!” snapped Mr. Sheridan. “You made enough trouble. What about that non engagement or marriage clause In your contract Yah! I've a blankety-blank mind to close the show and let you kick up your heels for a season. Serve you right. Yah!” Here Mr. Dugan took up the cudgels for bis client "Well, it is a lie,” he argued. “Why don’t we call the reporters in and give her the razz. Say she's trying to frame him, see?” "Yah!” snarled Mr. Sheridan, “and what about her? Seventeen, did you say, csintry girl, and cute looking? Watch the papers eat it up. Great Lover jilts beautiful country fiancee! Yah! Maybe you'd like that. Say, try to get the breaks against a woman in this country. Try. Blank!” "That,” began the press agent softly, “gives me an idea.” He was jumped on in chorus. “Yah! It's about time.” “What tool idea, now?” But for the first time that morn ing. he found courage to smooth down his hair and perk up his chin. "Let's call Bam in.” There was a note of new firmness and courage in his tone, and the others pricked Marie opened the door. op their ears. Mr. Sheridan him self opened the door and bawled. ''Sam.” One of those anomalous hangers on of theatrical offices, who are sporadically press agents, and playwrights, and stage managers, but usually Just play the role of friend to the producer, made his entrance. And it was an entrance. For he was a big, jaunty man 1n tweeds, with broad, padded shoul ders. He had a presence, and was never seen without his cane. “Supposing we fix this girl," be gan the press agent anew. "If you mean money," said Mr. Sheridan briskly, “talk to Dugan and Dudley.” “Now, that’s a fool idea," said Mr. Dugan reproachfully, and Clif ford’s eyes fixed on the press agent with passionate hatred. “I don’t mean money. Listen, here’s my little scheme. Sam, you’re in on this—" The five men drew together, and as they listened to ' the press agent’s sibilant syllables, relaxation was visible in their taut figures. Mr. Sheridan even had a sly little smile on his face. Mr. Dugan went further In his admiration. He slapped the press agent on the back heartily. “Attaboy You’re all right. You’re there!” “Yeh.” commented Mr. Sheridan sourly. I’ll bet that makes Roy Rogers’ show. I heard it was go ing to the bow wows fast.” “Well, that can’t hurt us," argued Mr. Dugan reasonably. “We’ll be In on the publicity too." Clifford said nothing. He only sighed and staggered to a chair, smoothing out the lines that puck ered his forehead. No one looked at him with any sympathy. “It’s a dirty trick," added Mr. Sheridan still further, “but okay, no help. Call her up now, Dudley, attd let’s get It over with. And Appearances are often deceiving; people are so used to thinking alone in one groove that crimes are often committed under their very noses without their even suspecting. Re cently in New York a man stood in the doorway of a building and turned the crank of a motion picture cam era. Four companions, who looked like fine actors in a move thriller, held up a dozen members of a club and robbed litem of over SSOO in mon ey and jewelry. Many persona passing by witnessed what they believed was the enacting it might be a good Idea for some body to call up the papers, and say something for Dudley about the engagement, you know, stall them Bah!” Thus. Marie, lying on the bed with her head in the pillows as Sally had disgustedly left her, heard the telephone ringing tor the millionth time that morning, and ignored it. At every ring, however, her heart beat faster and she thought, “If that’s Clifford!” She did not dare answer. But there was something urgent in the call of this telephone. After a few trys. all the other calls had ceased, but this one kept on and on and on and seemed to have every in tention of keeping on until the Day of Judgment. Marie could stand it no longer. There is something in the mysteri ous Jangle of a phone, anyway, that is almost irresistible, and there is a limit to human endur ance of its shrieking persistence. She answered feebly, but at the first sound of the voice, she sgt up and hugged the telephone to her bosom. "Oh. Clifford!" "It’s me, dear,” said the voice of Clifford kindly. "Oh. you aren't mad, then?” trembled Marie. "Well, It could have come at a better time. Makes It rather awk ward for me. But there —don’t woriw—” "On, Clifford—darling! The girls were so horrid. You do forgive me. don't you?” "Yes. Yes.” “You’re sure?” “Sure. Er-er—is Sally In?” “No. I—l think she's mad at me, She said nastv things about vou!" "She did. did she? Well, if sh« should come in tell her to get out, will you? I want to see you alone. Got something nice for you. How'd you like a new job. for instance?" “Oh. I'd love it. I can't bear those girls any more." "Yes? Listen, dear. A theatrical manager, a friend of mine,'is look ing for somebody lor a fat part in a new show I told him about you. Since you’re my fiancee, of course, you understand? Well, this man's at the office now and wants to see you. We both want to see you Better put on your best clotbes But make it snappy, because we’ll both be around iu fifteen minutes.”* "All right. All right. I'll rush darling.” i "Goodby—darling! Remember, fifteen minutes!” When Clifford’s voice at its soft est had ceased Marie snuggled her head into the pillows for a minute. Waves of sweetest relief ano hap piness surged through her, and tri' umph too. What would Sally say? •It was an act of God that Sally was i mad at her; for she could now stay* away as long as possible. She jumped up and skipped with pure; glee. She hud just time to make , up the couch in the living room, on I which she slept. But no time for i anything else She must rush For Clifford would be coming in fifteen minutes Clifford was coming in fifteen minutes, it made a song ia her throat. When Clifford’s voice at its soft est had ceased Mr Sheridan gag ged. “God! What a sap she must be!” “Sam, we better start," suggest led* the press agent as Sam, smoothly gloved and hatted and caned, stepped from the outer room, where he too, had been tele phoning. “Is Florrie game?” “Yop," announced Sam Clifford and Sam and the prest agent were soon on their way in a taxi, stopping only to pick u; Sam’s blonde and acthal wife. CHAPTER VI The three men and the woman did not stop to ring the downstairs bell of the four story remodeled brownstone house where Sally and Marie lived. With every aspect of conspirators, they toiled up two heavy flights of stairs. At the head of the next flight was Marie's door. Sam straightened his shoulder* and spruced his tie. His wife sup pressed a giggle. The press agent. Intent and serious, whispered: “Now, we’ll stop here for a mini ute and give you time to do youi* stuff. If Sally Short’s there sajf you made a mistake and beat it. We’ll have to try some other way. It the girl's alone make it snappy. When you're In we’ll walk up and stand outside the door. When you’re ready cough hard or drop* something. Make a noise. And make it snappy, do you hear?” Sam nodded. He took the next flight of stairs on high, cleared hi* throat and tapped gently on the ' door. Marie, with her hair smoothed and complexion neatly on, was standing before the mirror, hesitat ing between the choice of two dresses equally worn. She sighed' a little as she looked at them. On such a day to have to wear an old I dress! "Oh, dear,” she thought nervous-; ly at the sound of the knock, “andi there’s Sally. However will I get her out?” < of a movie melodrama. After the clubmen had all been herded in a back room the “movie men” got into an auto and drove away.
