TAR HEEL CINCINNATI MEET State Branch Oldest Hereditary Orctor of America. Reelects Officer. Pres. Wilson Honorary Member. Greensboro. Prominent North Car olinians and natives of the state who are In distant states, : were here for the annual meeting of the North Caro lina Society of Cincinnati. Following the 'business session the visitors were carried tov the Guilford Battle Ground and then they gathered at the annual society dinner. The Society of the Cincinnati is the oldest hereditary or der in America having been founded by Washington and his officers at the close of the Revolution. The North Carolina branch was organ ized at Hillsboro in the fall of 1783 with many of the most distinguished veterans of the Continental line as its charter members. Succession in the order is governed by the laws of primogeniture, or descent in the eld est male line of a Continental officer, and each original officer has only one representative at a time. The officers of the state society, all of whom were here are: Wilson Gray Lamb, Williamston, president; John Collins Daves, Baltimore, vice presi dent; Marshall DeLancey Haywood: Raleigh, secretary; John Bradley Lord, Brooklyn, assistant treasurer; Walter De Lyle Carstaphen, Ply mouth, treasurer; Benehan Cameron, Stagville, assistant treasurer; Bishop Joseph Blount Cheshire, chaplain.' The society re-elected the above staif of officers and also elected Pres ident Wilson to an honorary member ship. The president had previously signified his willingness to such a course. New members elected tc membership were D. C. Waddell, Jr., of Asheville; Dr. A. A. Cotton, Tren ton, N. J.; W. H. Callender, Franklin, Tenn.; Dr. R. L. Williams, Norfolk, Va. Division Plan New in State. The members of the Robert E. Lee chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy were hostesses to the fifth district convention of the U, D. C. at Lexington. The convention was held in the handsome rooms of the Elks Club and was presided over iby Mrs. W. H. Mendqjnhall, presi dent of the local chapter. The divi sion plan ia new in this tate, and there was some apprehension as tc whether such a movement could be launched. Heretofore, every local chapter has worked independently ol all other . chapters in the same sec tions, holding allegiance only to the state and national association. Under the leadership of Mrs. Mendenhall the chapters of this part of the Piedmont section have formed a district asso ciation to be known as the fifth dis trict .composed of the chapters at Lexington, Thomasville, Salisbury, Concord and Statesville. "Piedmont Exposition' for Charlotte A resolution was passed by the Greater Charlotte Club to begin work at once upon a great "Piedmont Expo sition" for Charlotte upon the 20th ol May, 1914, and one that would be the greatest held in the South Ir years.

Escape Death by Jumping. The members of the crew of the third section of Southern freight train No. 17 had a narrow escape when the engineer lost control of hi3 engine and the train was thrown on the safe ty track No. 1, Saluda Mountain. The momentum of the train was so great that 'the engine went over the end of the safety track and was overturned. Seeing that the overturning of the en gine was inevitaible, the members f the crew rvped for their lives and escaped with only a very few slight bruises. , APTSjpER FOR THE STATE TRUST COMPANY HOPE TO FIND SOMETHING ASSETS INVISIBLE.

Mr. Ross is already receiver for the Bank of Angler, one of the chain of banks of the State Trust Company was organizing. The petitioners for the receivership are business men who have subsoribed to stock in the company. The office in Wilmington . has 'been found to have only an old typewriter, quantities ol very pretentious stationery and the poorest lot of office furniture in an obscure back room. The receivership is named in the hope of finding some assets somewhere, Tather than to take charge of anything worth while now to exist. It now develops that North Caro lina cannot extradite Ector E. Smith, president of the States Trust Company after all the effort and stir that has been made to this end A letter came to Governor Craig from the governor of Alabama to the effect that since the order was made a week ago honoring North Carolina's requi sition for Smith, it has. been found that there is a charge of embezzle ment against him in Jefferson county, Ala., and that Smith must be held in Alabama awaiting the . action of the Jefferson county court.- The habeas corpus hearing that thwarted North Carolina officers in bringing him hack last Monday was set for hearing Monday of next week and Attorney General Bickett was leaving for Alabama with Solicitor Norris to make the fight for the ex tradition, but this action in holding up the requisition stops the whole matter indefinitely.

It was learned here that a document addressed to Presi dent Wilson and protesting against the appointment of A. D. Vatts, as collector was quietly circulated in Statesville and has heen sent to Washington to be used in the fight against Watts. Just how many signa tures were placed on the paper could not be learned. There, were enough to show, however, that Watts is not so popular among the Democrats of his home community as his supporters would like to make it appear. Colored Boy Shoots Negro Girl. Burlington. In what Is known as "Sugar Hill," a colored settlement. Ben Shovers, a colored boy 13 years of age, shot ;.nd Instantly killed a 11-year-old colored girl, daughter of Will Bain.

My business is not to remake myself But make the absolute best of What God has made. Robert Browning. SEASONABLE IDEAS. To make a cheap floor wax, use a pound of beeswax and three pints of turpentine. Cut the wax in small pieces, and put them into a pan. tSet the pan in hot water and let the wax welt. Take it off the fire and add the turpentine to the wax, mixing thor oughly. Use when cold. To make good dust rags, use paraf fin wax mixed with turpentine. Melt the wax and add enough "turpentine to mix well, then dip the cloth in this mixture. Floor mops for hard wood floors can be made at a quarter the price of the boughten variey, and fully as service able. The housekeeper who likes system keeps an inventory of most of her household belongings. Things are ar ranged on selves or boxes in certain places, well labeled, and in her desk is a house book telling the number or amount of said bag, box or drawer full of articles. In case of illness or going away any one unacquainted with the house can find anything needed. Underclothing, shoes, overshoes, hats, wraps, furs, in fact anything that is worn or used, will come under this? list, and be helpful to keep. Candle, ends should never be thrown away, as this wax can be used In starch, to rub off the range and keep it black and shiny, or can be mixed with turpentine and used as a floor polish. Curtain rings and pins may be brightened when black by boiling in vinegar and water, then rinsing and rubbing with a dry cloth. Put a paper bag over the meat chopper when grinding crumbs, also slip one over the egg beater when whipping cream. A small hole will allow the handle to come through and you will not be sprinkled with cream spatters.

The casserole may be a simple dish of brown crockery, with a cover, or a more elaborate white, fired, silver holder affair. The food will taste as good in the ten-cent variety, but will not look quite so well as a serving dish. Digestion waits on appetite, and ap petite on the appearance and flavor of food, bo that the more attractive it is in its appearance, the more ap petizing and, in consequence, the more digestible the food will be. An attractively laid table, well-seasoned food and hot dishes hot, cold dishes cold, will further induce diges tion of these foods.' These may seem minor things, but are really of a good deal of importance in home-making. A delicious meat dish to serve from a casserole is chicken with vegeta bles. Parboil the fowl, if old and tough, then brown in a frying pan with a little . butter ; pour over the broth in which the fown was stewed, add a few eighths of potatoes (par boiled), a few pieces of carrots and three or four small onions. Cook to gether for an hour in a moderate oven in a closely covered casserole. Serve on the table in the casserole. The nice thing about casserole cookery is that the meat and vegetables are all together in one dish, less meat may be used and all are piping hot. Another important point to be noted in casserole cookery, is that tough meat may be used and made palatable by long, slow cookery. The meat must be cut in serving-sized pieces, season and flour well, then brown in a frying pan. Make a gravy of the flour and gravy In the pan, with the addi tion of water, pour over the meat, add the vegetables, and dinner will be all ready to serve from one dish. A small piece of veal with a bit of onion and green pepper for flavor, browned and added to the meat with a cup of cooked rice will piece out a small piece of meat and serve the family well and cheaply. A Real Surprise "Ahead. "What are you doing, Polly?" asked her mother. Tm knitting, mumie, dear," replied the young woman. "I heard George say the other day he was afraid he'd have to buy a new muffler for his car, and I thought I'd knit him one as a sort of surprise." Harper's Weekly. Sappy Gets It Again. Mr. Sapleigh I find it dooced hard to collect my thoughts, you know. Miss Keen Father says it's always Sifficult to collect email amounts. I. -3 Doorkeeper at the Capitol WASHINGTON. Just . as the day shift of the Capitol police force was about to knock off duty at dusk the other evening an automobile rolled in to the driveway, under the house steps, and a middle-aged man arid a young woman got, out and walked briskly through the doorway. One of the officers on the door stopped them and politely gave the information that the time for receiving visitors for the day was over. For a moment the man hesitated. Then, from behind him there stepped out hurriedly a much younger man, who saidN something In a low voice to the officer. The latter's manner changed immediately. He grabbed his cap from his head, and, bowing low, said: "Come right in, Mr. President." "I just thought I would like to look over the new seats in the house," said President Wilson with a smile. Riskiest Deed in the Whole List of Bad Omens SHE was a pallid woman who looked as if her dyspepsia tablets had run out. And she stood behind the counter of a small homemade shop, submitting a mended umbrella to a customer with two chins and another coming. The customer, satisfied with the job, rummaged in her bag for the even change, handed it over and then, in a sudden gust of energy, emptied the bag's insides on the counter. "Well, if I haven't lost that thing at last and I wouldn't a-done it for a dollar!" The sympathy in the umbrella wom an's face flushed it to an almost life like hue. " Was it your .mascot ?" The chin woman wasn't up to psy chological snuff. She had to ask what a mascot was. "Why, a charm to keep off bad luck." The customer chuckled till the third chin took courage and, asserted itself. "My soul and body, woman, you talk as if I hadn't cut my eye teeth. No, indeedy, it wasn't no charm. It was just a little chunk of quartz I been carryin' around because my son Jim mie sent it to me to show what they dig up In the mine where he works, out west yonder. If the good Lord chooses to send me troubles there Connecting Link Between TWO women board in the same house up Georgetown way. Each has her personal treasures set on walls, shelves and tables in the "furn ished room" that stands for her home. In one the decorations run to Rem ington sketches and Kipling. There is a winged victory on a bookcase, a couple of handed-down brass candle sticks and a squatty Chinese god that once had its day in a museum. The walls of the other room are broken out in the rash of "popular" art that includes a chromo Beatrice Cenci In a walnut frame, a near en graving of "The Ironworker" and an other of that especially rigid George Washington with fish bladder legs. Stranger Wanted Whack A LABORER was digging up the wire grass which was already asserting itself in the new green velvet of a park up Capitol Hill way. A well dressed middle-aged man, who was passing, paused to say: "Let me have a turn at that spade, won't you?" The laborer a white man straight ened up, grinned politely, but kept his spade. "Say, hand over that shovel for a minute, son. I haven't had a whack at this sort of fun for 15 years. Been liv ing on the desert, where there isn't a blade of civilized grass in a day's ride" No good-natured laborer could pos sibly withstand an appeal like that, especially with no park guards around, eo the spade was handed over. The well dressed man rammed it in the sod with an expertness that showed he had. lived in God's country Stops President Wilson The officer led the way to the eleva tor, and they were lifted up to the next floor. The officer hurled back downstairs to the eergeant-at-arms' office to get the key. While this was going on Neal, the negro messenger, who sits continually outside of Speaker dark's door, left his post and rushed into Mr. Clark's private office. "The president is outside, sir," said Neal, excitedely. "The who?" 6aid the speaker. "The president, sir," repeated Neal. "He's right out in the corridor." Mr. Clark went out. Sure enough there was the president, and the speaker greeted him warmly. "Welcome to the house," said the speaker. President Wilson explained that he wanted to see the house chamber and that he and his daughter, Jessie, were especially interested In reading in the newspapers about the new bench seats which . have been installed in place the time-honored desks. By that time the officer had re turned with the key and Mr. Clark did the honors. He ushered the presi dent and his daughter into the cham ber, told them about the new seating scheme, and Invited .them to try the seats. ain't any luck charm going to stave It off. I don't believe in no such fool ishness as that." "You oughtener talk like that. I wouldn't do it for the world. I know too much abut it. See this horseshoe I'm wearing? I wouldn't dast leave off wearing this horseshoe for any money you could name." , "What good does it do you any more than any other breastpin?" "What. good? Just listen at , you! Why, it keeps me well and gets me customers and everything. That's the reason so many people have trou bles, because they keep on doing un lucky things without knowing it." And a third woman, who was wait ing to have her umbrella operated on for a floating rib, wondered how the mascot devotee could reconcile herself to risking that awfulest deed in the whole list of bad omens raising um brellas in a room. Opposite Mentalities The women themselves are as op posite mentally, as the atmosphere of the room they live in. One studies. The other does fancy work. One wishes with all her soul that she was capable of doing great deeds. The other is serenely satisfied to let things go as they are. ' And they are such good friends that they take tea with each other, eve nings, and have friendly powwows' that both honestly enjoy. None of the other boarders in the house could understand the friendli ness between two such apparently uncongenial women until a third wo man ferreted out what she believe', to be the cause. Working on the' principle of that early wise man, that all humanity is bound in a common chain, with its connecting link visible to any eye sharp enough to find it, she looked the two rooms over. And she found them alike in one small detail. On the wall above each bed hung a small crucifix. It was the link between. at the Wire Grass Turf before he took to the desert When he had turned over a turn of wire grass and loam he handed the spade back, offered the laborer a fat, black cigar and walked off with his face a solid pink shine of satisfaction. The laborer watched the man until he wound around a path. Then he tucked his cigar into the pocket of his coat that was hanging . on a tree branch and went back to the wire grass. And the only word he had to say was: "Gee!"
