Cliff Edwards
Turns Soldier
Carrying a ukulele to the front might
not have been generally done in too
World War—but Cliff Edward* cer
tainly made himself useful ^th hi.s in
the war fought in Buster Keaton's
latest talkie, “Dough Boys,” which
will be shown at the Peoples Thea
tre Wednesday and Thursday, Nov.
19 1 20.
Cliff as the singing doughboy war
bles for the entertainment of the sol
duns, and incidentally the audience,
renders the song hit of the picture.
“Sing.” written by Joseph Meyer and
Howard Johnson—and then gets
idiot in the ukulele and becoms a casu
alty of war.
The hilarious training camp, Bus
ter’s adventures in “No Man's Land,”
and the comical “show” at the front
are among the high spots in the new
picture. Incidentally, most of those
connoted with the picture were real
service men. Keaton served sa a
doughboy in the Rainbow Division, in
the trenches for th eduration of the
■war; Director Sedgewick was an army
officer; Brophy, Steele. Jack Mint/..
assistant director. Edwards and oth
er men in the cast all had army ex
perience, and the extras were picked
from ex-service men.

3. Cost of lot in c inparison to cost
of other places which might serve the
purpose just as well.
All details pertain.ng to the erect
ion of the gas plant here, it is under
stood, will be thoroughly discussed
by the Commissioners and Mr. Springs
at the meeting this afternoon. It may
be possible that a permanent site
may be decided upon.
At its meeting las’. May the Com
missioners had the f nal reading and
unanimously passed an ordinance cre
ating a gas franchise, granted to
D. L. Thompson. Mr. Thompson had
been negotiating for the franchise for
several months.
The document called for preliminary
figures of the terms of the franchise
two months from acceptance, and gave
the company one year from the date
of the franchise letting to complete
the installation of gas mains in the
incorporated area of the Town of Roa
noke Rapids. It also specified that
the gas plant shall be located within
the incorporated area.
The gas company, or its assigns,
were required to fix back the streets
and other property which must be
torn up in installing the mains, re
pairing them in a certain way and
with the same surface as prior to
the work, with the necessity of keep
ing such places in g >od condition for
one year after installation.
In addition ; > e xtending the gas
mains int othe thickly populated sec
tions of the town, the company was
required to com mm- its mains where
there is one i u u > r per one hun
dred feet. Prices the gas service
to be charged the unsumor were set
out in the franeh -e.
Approximately P’.x.OOO feet of pipe
will be buried through which the gas
will be transmitted from the plant
t othe consumers, it was learned.
When work is actually begun on
the erection of the plant and the lay
ing of the gas mains, the company, it
is understood, expects to employ as
much local labor as is possible. The
digging of the trenches for the gas
ma ns will n »r be done by mach‘ »c,
it was learned, but labor will \ e
employed to do this work. If this plan
is carried out, work will be given to a
large number of men in this commu
nity, in addition to those employed on
the erection of the necessary building,
3r buildings.
It is understood that the gas to be
manufactured here and supplied to lo
•al people will not be a poisonous gas,
therefore there will be no danger of
isphyxiation and explosion.

Dems. Make Gains
(Continued'from page on^J
Democrats in both the House and Sen
ate .with huge gains made by the lat
ter party, much power in both branch
es of Congress for the Democratic
party is in evidence.
In the house it requires a majority
vote on all organization matters and it
is possible for either party to have
chairman of committees.
A samll group of insurgents in eith
er branch could wield a powerful hand
should the parties maintain the quo
tas indicated by returns.
In event of a tie vote in the Sen
ate, Vice-President Curtis would be
able to throw the balance to his party.
In several of the states where the
Republicans were almost sure of ma
jorities the Democrats came through
with sweeping victories. These huge
Democratic gains split the Republican
organization in the territories where
the gains were made, and placed the
Democratic party in some instances
*i positions stronger than they have
ever held. In some sections where the
Republicans have wielded power since
back in the 90's the Democrats gained
control. This is true in some sections,
also, in North Carolina, which joined
the Republican forces in the 1928 cam

paign, but re-entered the Democratic
ranks in the election of last week.
In the next House there will be six
women members, three Democrats and
three Republicans. Divided along the
line of prohibition, the result is equi
librium three are wet and three are
dry.
It happens that two of these femi
nine representatives who are Republi
cans line up with the wet forces. They
are: Flcenee I*. Kahn of California,
home (if President Hoover, who receiv
ed the full support of the supporters
of the prohibition law in 192S; ami
Ruth Baker Pratt, of New York, na
tive state of former Governor Alfred
E. Smith, whose views on the prohibi
tion question were not warmly re
ceived when he was the opponent of
President Hoover. The other anti-Vol
stead woman representative is Mary
T. Norton. Democrat ,of New Jersey.
The three women members support
ing the dry law’ are Edith Nourse Rog
ers, Republican, Massachusetts, Ruth
Bryan Owen, Democrat, Florida, and
Effie Gene Wingo, Democrat, Arkan
sas.
Staunch dry leaders both in and out
of Congress dispute the fact that the
dry cause was damaged by the sweep
ing gains of the Democrats.
In some states where the Republi
cans were expecting vitories the Dem
ocrats did not stop with electing only
representatives to the Senate and the
House, but also won gubernatorial
contests by large majorities In oth
er states where the two parties were
more evenly divided the Democratic
candidates received greater majori
ties tjjan were expected—and in some
instances the greatest majorities in
the history of the party
Leaders in the Democratic party are
of the opnion that the victory of last
r eek paved the way to a greater Dem
ocratic victory in 1932—a Democratic
l resident and Democratic control of
either or maybe both the Senate and
House Democrats ov^er the nation
have renewed enthusiasm and have
begun to organize for the 1932 cam
paign.
Dispatches from the White House
indicate that President Hoover iid
not rejoice over the results of the
vote of last week’s election, and fol
lowers of politics are waiting with
t agerness to see what the Presidnet
will do when he faces the Democratic
increase in ’.he Senate and House
