North Carolina sprang into national prominence the past week as the result of Governor Gardner's Liv.s - at - Home program through a national survey conducted by the Associated Press to show how the states of the nation are preparing for what is expected to be one of the hardest winters within the memory of man. The third paragraph of the story, written' in New York, is devoted to the North Carolina program and Governor Gardner, the only Governor mentioned, is given credit for the movement which resujted in an in crease from 1,250,000 to 4,600,000 containers this year filled with fryits and vegetables by the rural club women in the State, in addition to canning done by city and town wom en.

S. government estimates $35,000, 000 more in such crops this year than in 1930. "This $25,000,000 which would oth erwise have gone for food and feec will now stay in North Carolina, at a time when it would be hard to get. with cotton selling for six cents and tobacco low," Governor Gardner said He also spoke of the increased acre age planted in cane and the large supply of molasses that will result As bad as the depression has been Governor Gardner has said, it ha; been the greatest possible ally to hi! live at home program.

I HON ORE BOOTH y ( Special Arrangement Between This \ Paper and Harper's Bazaar ? ; Copyrighted, 1931) ' i Meadowbrook In weather hovering between sum- ^ tmer and fall, the international polo 1 matches were played at Westbury, < 'Long Island, before a gallery as smart as it was enthusiastic. Early 1 | fall tweeds with a distinct pattern were worn by the smartest women, i There were many checks, and several outstanding costumes combined plaid and monotone tweed. The three types 'of ensembles that proved particular ly popular were on the one piece dress with contrasting jacket, the two piece suit with sweater or blouse, and the suit with a three-quarter length coat. The majority were fur less and scarves tied Ascot were worn, but when fur was employed it was generally lynx or beaver. As : to colors, the brown range came first, and greens second. Greens rangeri from the dullest shades to a bright billiard and looked new and chic. Fftit outdistanced other fabrics for hats, land simple, practical shapes with brims and small feather fancies were definitely favored. Cuban heels on the semi-sport shoes were worn by most women. These observations were made during the finale of the polo matches between the Argentines and Americans, at the field stand of the Meadowbrook Club where the cream of the Long Island sporting world was gathered, so the costumes 1 described can be considered rery rep resentative of what is the best in spectator wear.

When it is Jone this way it is worn straight or with the slightest wave. Curls are not so popular as they have been. The trend is towaid a neat hairline, be cause it Is yoangest in the long run and because it goes well with the cocky little hats. Half-and-half is another manner o f hair - dressing which is in favcr: long in back, short at the sides. This enables the wearer to make a chignon and to have the smart look as well. Chignons are better from a fashion standpoint than rolls. But the real trick is to study the shape of your head, the shape of your hats and to build your hair into such a structure that the hats sits well on the head and the face is be comingly framed. 30 SERVICE PLACES HERE LAST YEAR Raleigh, Sept. 30 ? Transylvania county had 30 service stations and automobile accessory dealers paying license taxes to do business during the last tax year, ended May 31, of the 1,269 in the State, all paying taxes of $178,896.50 for the privil ege of ODerating, records in the of fice of Commissioner of Revenue A. | J.

Calls for mass neetings of growers in more than 00 communities to adopt resolutions >etitioning Governor Gardner to call t special session of the General As .cmbly to take action on cotton acre ige reduction, and also on tobacco, ssued by N. C. Bartlett, secretary of ;he Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce, apparently, at this writ ng, got little response. t Governor Gardner's home county of Cleveland, largest cotton growing :ounty in the State, refused a reso lution calling for a special session and instead adopted one against- this session as "expenive and useless." Three persons are reported to have attended the meetings at l^aurinburg, Scotland county, and at Windsor, Bertie county. Dunn, with 200 or 300 farmers present, approved the session but differed on the plan. At Smithfield, U. Benton Blalock. presi dent of the American Cotton Cooper ative Association, expressed personal preference for the Texas plan. Res olutions for the session were adopted at St. Pauls, Maxtnn. Enfield. Mt. Olive, Tarboro, Greenville and Smith field. Meetings failed to materialize at Goldsboro and Henderson. Secretary Bartlett announced later that he had reports that .">0 meetings were held, out of 14S called, and that all but one, in Cleveland county, reso lutions calling for a special session were adopted, most of these favoring apparently the Texas plan of reduc tion. Attendance fijru r? were not given. In fact, a meeting r.f editors, farm ers and business men, held Friday at Goldsboro, went on record as op posing a special se?:-i'.ii for cotton relief. The collapse of the South Carolina1 legislative effort, following that of Louisiana, see*in? (a complete cot ton growing holiday, probably had its effect on the North Carolina move ment. Growers are thinking more of Governor Gardner's earlier sugges tion of national act: n which might have resulted in a uniform plan in this country, with the treaty power back of it to come to terms with other cotton-growing countries. r f the South gives up its monopolistic cotton growing for even a year, it would be notice to the foreign countries, grow ing it at much lower cost, to increase production, thus robbing this country of its leadership in a commodity of which it manufactures less than half of its crop, the other going to world markets.
