THE SALEMITE CURRENT HISTORY Hungary recovered quickly from recent financial panic, which ^as one of the worst ever exper- i'nced in the country. Although '■ irrcncy has not yet returned to the luvel of last week, and the shock to people has not yet passed, the "orst is over now that a loan is promises. Even the members of I^arliament who were not in favor the loan received the news of the final decision of the Reparation Committee with enthusiasm, be cause it meant the breaking of a tension which had become unbear able. ' Count Bethlen, the Foreign Min- ister, is glad to liave Mr. Harding, American, for financial con troller. He says that the new con troller is now on his way to Europe and proibably to Hungary. Mr. Harding was accepted some time by the Hungarian sub-com ®'ttee and will make an appoint- |>'ent with the Financial Committee 'mmediately after landing. The expert’s committee, which, I'eaded by General Dawes, has been Work on the economic problems (Jermany have selected the fol lowing points as worthy of at tention: 1. Germany is the world’s best ‘^'luipped industrial organization. 2. Germany has practically no ‘domestic debts. 3- The Germans as a whole are paying less taxes than the English, French, or Americans. ■i. Germany, if she took upon herself the whole reparations bill, "'ould have a smaller debt than if fl'e Iiad won the war without 'ndemnities. On the other hand, however, the •Committee noted the following points: 1- Germany is on the verge of financial chaos and needs a loan to her in attaining a position "'hich she can pay her reparations. 2. Germany must have stable *^oney. 3. Germany has good crops but distribution 1. Germany has exported capi- to the amount of $5,000,000,000 at present has only 2,000,000,- abroad. S. Germany has not a proper ''ealization of her position. , *>• Germany’s tax system is too ^ard on small incomes and too easy ®n large ones. ^iferniany’s railroad system is one the best in the world, and, be- ''®Use of the present value of the •^ark, it owes no debts. These are generally the points which will "•■ni the basis for the expert’s re- fort. Vigorous opposition to the John- ^®n immigration bill was instituted ‘londay when twenty members of New York State Democrat elegation in the House drew up a ^elaration accusing the bill of ^tiberately favoring the Mordic ^®ces and of treating unfairly the outhern and Eastern Europeans, ‘'e Johnson bill proposes to use as base for immigration laws the *'*iniber of people from each country Residing in the United States in ^^0, instead of the present basis ''t 1910. The law now in effect ex- at the end of this year and ^ny members of Congress believe misuse of information which had come to him officially. Last fall he sold all his Sinclair holdings. He again stated his willingness to present all the facts to any inquiry the Senate might desire. Daugherty also answered charges of failure to prosecute former Secretary Fall, Edward L. Doheny H. F. Sinclair, and Charles R Forbes, by saying that the action against the first three was, at his suggestion, turned over to special government counsel and that pro ceedings against Mr. Forbes had al ready been begun by a Chicago grand jury. He reiterated his ignorance of the oil negotiations and urged the Senate to conduct immediate enquiry into his depart ment. INTERESTING TALK ON BALLADS FRIDAY ^*ne new plan to be necessary. The ew York Democrats do not oppose ^ new law, but insist that the 1910 '®nsus remain the basis. They de- that Southern and Eastern **ropean people are not inferior to _ 6 Mordic races, and that no dis- •ftiination should be made in favor the latter. an 'Attorney General Daugherty, in open letter to Senator Willis, l^^niits buying Sinclair oil stocks before and after entering the ®oinet, but denied making any MISS HALL VISITS THE EPISCOPALIANS The Episcopalians of Salem Col lege have been especially fortunate in having Miss Agnes Hall as their guest for this week-end. Miss Hall IS a member of the staff of the National Council of the Episcopal Church, and, as Secretary f.)r Wo men Students, her work extends over a wide area. She is known and iOved by girls in colleges in all parts of the United States. Her ex periences have been many and varied, dealing sometimes with large numbers of girls gathered together for social purposes, at others with a jmall group who meet for worship in old, unused rooms. Miss Hall is particularly inter ested in conferences and in summer work for college girls. She has aroused much interest in a con ference to be held at the University of the South sometime during the last of March. The Episcopalians of Salem, who hope soon to be organized into a unit are making plans to send a delegate to this con ention. Miss Hall also spoke enthusiastically about the conference •t Blue Ridge, the one which is above all others particularly dear to jalem girls. All of those who were so for tunate as to meet Miss Hall felt that they had gained a great deal, and sincerely hoped that this new found friend would soon return.

A few moments were stolen from class time to allow Mrs. McCanless to sing “The Cradle Song,” a lullaby native to Western North Carolina. Miss Minnish had begun to outline the types of ballads starting with those of England and Scotland and had expressed her opinion as to their origin with one man rather than with a community, when she was forced to stop. Miss Minnish was invited to Winston-Salem to speak to the Woman’s Club and Thursday Morn ing Music Club, and was asked by Miss Doughton to talk to her Eng lish class, who are now studying ballads. Miss Minnish has made an extensive study of ballads and songs .n the mountains of North Carolina. Miss Minnish is a native mount aineer, and from childhood has been interested in the subject on which she speaks. Left an orphan at an early age, under the care of an unlettered mountain woman whom she taught to read and write, jhe would listen to the old 'songs over and over until she had memor ized them. In this way, she and her sister learned forty old ballads, her sister playing them on the harp. Miss Minnish now has a collection of ninety-four original ballads, found in Caldwell county. Professor Kittredge has bought this collection from her and is now publishing them with the Harvard press. She jIso sings for Victrola records, which will soon be on sale. The lullaby sung by Mrs. Mc Canless consists of seven stanzas, of which she only sang three. No iource has yet been traced for this beautiful song, so Miss Minnish alls it her own Western North Carolina lullaby. Miss Minnish first heard it sung by a beautiful mount ain woman, who was putting her baby to sleep. Upon being question ed as to its source, the woman answered, “My maw, she teached it to me, an’ I teached it to my kids. The kids liked it.” In this way, traveling among the mountain people and hearing the ballads sung by them, just as they heard it from their ancestors, Miss Minnish has made her won derful collection and has done an inestimable service in preserving these songs for future generations. WINSTON SHOE STORE 436 N. TRADE ST. WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. THE STARS OF ‘‘BLACK OXEN” COMING MONDAY IN A GREATER PICTURE AUDITORIUM OFFERS EXCHANGES ANATOLE FRANCE Anatole France, who is reported critically ill in dispatches from Paris, is an eminent French novel ist, who also has done notable work as a critic and historian. ‘His real name is Jacques Anatole Thibault, and he was born in Paris 80 years ago. It was when he was 24 years old that his first work, a study of Alfred de Vigny, was published. It was followed in 1873 by a volume of se, which attracted much favor able attention. But it was in prose that France was to shine more than in verse. A skeptic in religion and science, doubting all things, his opinions and doubts he put forth through the characters he created. He has a style that is simple and direct and the real character of the man is reflected in his works. Anatole F'rance was admitted to the French Academy in 1896. Critics have pronounced him the most graceful writer of modern France. —-Exchange, ROBERT W CHAMBERS '^he ^COMMON LAW’ STARRING CORINNE GRIFFITH CONWAY TEARLE ELLIOTT DEXTER WibH Doms May ko3.\flt :.c3wort:i MI83 DUPONT mVANT WASKBURN PHYLLIS HAVER HAK,a.Y KYEn.3 WALLY VAI-J DAGMAFl GODOWGKY MAH JONG SET Complete with 144 characters, IIG Counters, Racks, Dice, In structions and Rules, in attractive box.

There is a race of shepherds at the village of Gomem, in the peak of Leveriffe, who are able to con verse at a distance of two or three miles by intelligible whistling. There are no less than 28 bones in one hand and wrist, and about as many in a foot and an ankle. The bones of the hand and feet are equal in number to one-half of all the bones in the human body. It would take all the Lancashire cotton mills 400 years to spin a thread long enough to reach the nearest star at the present rate of production of about 155,000,000 miles per day. According to a German biologist the two sides of the face are never alike. In two out of five the eyes are out of line; one eye is stronger than the other in seven persons out of ten, and the right ear is generally higher than the left. The number of newspapers pub lished in all countries is estimated at 41,000. Hundreds of fish are still alive in the Royal Aquarium in St. Petersburg, which were placed there from 100 to 150 years ago. —Exchange. * # * WOMEN BECOMING TALLER Statistics compiled from measure ments taken at various American colleges show that women are grow ing taller, larger, and more healthy. According to these statistics the average woman is now half an inch taller than her sisl;er of twenty-five years ago. This increase in height and strength is accountable for by athletics, freedom in dreari, more attention to hygiene, and activiiy in the open air. —Exchange.
