New Cotton Hosiery Makes Formal Debut New York?A new type merceriz ed cotton lisle hose, termed "the most attractive lisle stocking ever produced by an American hosiery manufacturer," will make its form al debut during National Cotton Week. May 17-23. Dean Hill, presi dent of the Durene Association of America, has advised the National Cotton Council Manufactured by a well known hosiery firm, the new stocking is the first of 56 types of lisle hosiery de veloped by the U. S. Department of Agricultuer to be market^ commer cially. The stocking is a full-fashioned, sheer, all-over petmet mesh, made of fine count mercerized cotton lisle yarn, and is said to be unique in de sign. Mr. Hill said the marketing of the new lisle stocking is timely in view of the introduction of the cotton stamp plan by the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation. The plac ing of this government styled all lisle stocking on the market, he said, will allow women entitled to purchase cotton stamps to procure attractive full-fashioned hosiery at a reasonable price. a Use Of Lime And Phosphate Improves Pasture 50 Per Cent Through the use of lime and phos phate, K M.

Beer License Renewals Mmy im th? mnnth whrn rity and county authori ties have the responsibility of passing on yearly applications for beer licenses. It is the hope of the Brewers and North Caro lina Beer Distributors Committee that local au thorities will scrutinize the record of each appli cant, and will deny renewals to the few who have abused the privilege of a license. Careful selection of licensees fosters better law observance, requiring a smaller expenditure for enforcement and allowing larger sums for wel fare and school purpose* Brewers and-North Caroling Beer Distributors Committee EDGAR H.

Taking the salespeople one by one, he re hearsed their beat smiles. Also, he asked them annoying and embarrass ing questions.* Many of the oalea clerks thought they were smiling, but the stage director convinced them that their facial expressions, at best, were only smirks. He showed, according to the Better Vision In stitute, that the difference between a smirk and a smile lies in the eyes. TTtT^T eyes do not sparkle and are hard, unsympathetic, only a smirk results, notwithstanding the fact that the mouth may curl up in a pleasing Mrs. Peel Nameil Mo man Manager For llronghton Mrs. Elbert S.

The stage director demon strated that the heart of a smile is in in the eyes; without a sympathetic eye expression the facial and mouth reactions have but little meaning In Unity wood lfie~ Importance of expressive eyes is well-known.

C. State College. This practice often results in re duced yields. Cotton left thick in the row will put on more bolls early in the season and will be better able to produce higher yields under boll weevil conditions, an important fac tor in lint production. Kime recommended that on the heavier soils of the Coastal Plain area hills should be spaced 10 to 12 inches apatl in the iuw, leaving two or three plants in the hill when possi ble. This will~meatr-ete- average- of approximately one and one-half plants per foot or 18,000 to 20,000 plants to the acre. On the lighter soils of the Coast tal Plain section and in the Pied mtmtr tbe^^tate* Cotlrgtr -cottrri pert said a closer spacing of the plants is probably advisable. Cotton should be chopped when the weather is warm and the plants healthy. A gin>d indicator of the best time is when the second set of leaves is about three-quarters grown Kime explained that it the cot ton" is chopped much earlier, some, of the remaining plants are likely to die, leaving a poor stand. If the ehop ping is delayed too long, the plants will become tall and slender and will tend to fall down badly when chip ped. "Because of the revived interest in the production of better yields and a higher grade lint this year," the State College man said, "growers should4 exert every effort to follow recom- ' mended practices that will aid in j reaching this goal " I ^S perforin Are So Bar To* I ' Froni t.ineJfar Service i A ruling of British war office states that any soldier whose eyesight is up to standard requirements, ei ther naturally or corrected with spec tacles. may be assigned to the front line of attack, adding that "the ex tra risk incurred in gearing glasses is negligible " NOTICE OF SALE North Carolina.
