I).. Mouzen deplored t)i.>| fact that America has failed to J meet its. responsibilities in Kur-I ope and voiced the conviction! that the relation of America t>> the World is the most momen tous issue before this country at this time. With Americans participa' ing in an inquiry as to what is needid to rehabilitate Germany and with the prospect that this in<|uiry may lead to~a ? new" world conference at BrusseUs -in the not remote future, the Bish op's utterance was timely. \V? quote: "One may see God in history at times. I don't mean that sometimes God is in history and sometimes he asn't. But I do mean that sometimes he hangs out his banners in such fashion that even blind men ought to see the hand of God. "How soon we of America forget. How short a time ago it was when our allies had then backs to the walls fighting for their lives. It looked to us then ?is if it would not be long before the Germans would I*? swooping down upon us, thundering at our very doors. Then the great Christian President of the Unit ed States called this Nation to its knees in prayer. <.od wrote the answer to that prayer in history. The kaiser, conquerer and warrior, didn t fit into the history of t:i? twentieth century, and through Ood's aid he was eliminated as a factor in the world's life. We've forgotten all that. We're staying selfishly aloof while the world hovers on th? brink of chaos. Will the United States ever enter a League of Nations? I don t know. Will our represen tatives ever sit around a peace table with other nations of the World? I don't know. But I do know tlrtit whoever opposes America's taking her place in the council of the nations of th; earch to prevent war and insure peace is an enemy to humanitj. The relation of America to the rest of the world is the oue burning political question of th? day that none of us has the right to avoid and leave unanswered." T+ie Advance truly believes that the sentiment of the coun try as a whole is favorable to American participation in Eur opean affairs through t h e League of Nations, but unfortu nately American sentiment fails to make itself felt on an issue of this sort in the unmistakable way that it does on a measure like tax revision, the immediate effect of which on the average voter can be at once appreciat ed. Frail humanity is still the same as when the Athenians preferred to hear the harangues of a demagogue on the amount , ~of income that Athenian citizens were to receive from their gov ernment to the thunders of Demosthenes against the en croachments of Philip of Mace donia. Even if you are only taxed I with the 'cost*, It does not pay | to try to evade the auto-licensc tax. But The Advance believes that the citizen who in detected; deliberately trying to evade this tax ought to lie made to yield the Courfty a profit., Don't monkey around the ele vator when the operator is out. How Novelist Qot His Name Kipling in his jungle books tells how various animals got their names. This knowledge is much ! more interesting when it concerns human beings and especially fam ous authors. Probably the two most interest ing P*n names in American liter ature are "Mark Twain" (Samuel L. Clemens) and "O. Henry" (Sid ney Porter). In Canada lives a man known to million of readers as "Ralph Connor," but it is doubtful if many . of his admirers know his real name j or how his pen name was chosen. The Reverend Charles Gordon j wrote for an editor friend a Christmas story of the lumbermen of the Selkirk Mountains. So] vigorous was the action and so i vivid the language that the editor j suggested that he use a pen name am' 9^ked him to choose one. Gordon telegraphed "Cannor," made A tht first letters of Cana dian and Northwest. The editor had no use for" the mythical name "Cannor" and changing it to "Con nor" added the prefix "Ralph." In j this haphazard way was created 1 "Ralph Connor." one of the most j famous pen names in the world j today. Since that first Christmas story ?f the Selkirk Mountains novel has followed novel, all hav ing their locale amid the rugged beauty of the Canadian North WMt. ? Perhaps for sheer beauty of set ting "The Gaspards of Pine Croft." the latest book of the famous min ister, eclipses all the rest.

"A great many )?*ople do not seem to know it. hut the person driv ing a car without license is the per son that is ??liilty ?>f Itni'Mir; tin law and not necessarily fh?* owner of the car." Mr. Studd?-rt found about 10 cars and trucks in lower Currituck Coun ty. either operating without a license or displaying the wionu licens?' taa on their cars or trucks. H? maihd a cheek to the Stat** Department for Saturday niuht. "In the few instances where an attempt was made to evade the law, " Mr. Studdert said, '"there was a dis IMisition to tell the truth but not the whole truth." The inspector made several visits to automobile sales men in the city Saturday checking up on some statements of truck and automobile owners that he had reas on to feel skeptical about.
