Mr, i MARCH 3, 1932 ! Today and Tomorrow By FRANK P. STOCKBRIDGE 17 1 X UJ U The best ews I have seen in the papers in a long: time is the announcement that Henry Ford is about to start production on a new line of cars. Lots of people have been waiting to make up their minds what car tc buy this spring until they see the new Ford. I think there is going to be a big rush for new cars of all makes as soon as the new Ford models* are ahown. most 01 the curs now j ii'i use are pretty well shot, una now ( that the definite upswing in business and industry has begun, this ought to be the biggest year ever in the automobile business, for Ford and for everybody else who makes a good, low-priced car. And the number of men who will go back to work in the Ford factor-( ies will make a big dent in t.he unemployment situation. Wallace TK.> xir-n UC.MVII VI uugai wuiiutc, ITIUSl prolific writer of detective fiction, is x a personal loss to hundreds of thou- , * sands of Americans who have been j in the habit of reading every new ( Wallace book as soon as it came out. | No writer ever lived who produced ; such an immense volume of enter- t taining stories of euch uniformly high j quality. "Wallace frequently worked j on three or four books at once, die- i fating each to a different stenogra- j phcr, and more than once wrote an entire full-sized novel in less than \ a week. He was i.ever at a loss for a > plot, and his characters carried the f stamp of reality. v Edgar Wallace was a giant of a [ man, of apparently limitless physical r energy, but even the strongest is not d proof against pneumonia. There arc | many other good writers of first-rate ... detective stories, hut none who has Wallace's energy and capacity for v rapid work. j Butler Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler has ^ just celebrated liis thirtieth anniversary as president of Columbia Universily in New York City. Under Dr. Butler's guidance Columbia has become the largct university in the world, with something 'ike thirty thousand students and a staff of three I " thousand professors and instructors.!" There arc a good many people who f-nllrg_fctva-.ranr-h. but they are main'iy folks who don't n *g, like whnt he says. There is no staun- 0 Cher defender of the fundamental j? principles of democracy than he. And " 1 do not know of anyone who had a ? sounder or more complete foundu- n ? ticn of education to begin with, oy who has made as good use of it, as B Nicholas Murray Butler. His influ- P i?*- e UIII vjr auttcas'-vc ^inuunk* ing classes of Columbia will live for h generations. It is a great responsibility to try 1 to guide the thinking of such a host a of young people, but on the whole I '' think Dr. Butler has maJe a good f; job of it. tl J Silver A Now that the major financial problems of the nation are rapidly being cleared up, attention in Washington is focusing again on the monetary c |& position of silver, of which X have si spoken before in this column. f: Senator Pittman of Nevada has in- si troduced a till for the purchase by I the government of five million ounces fi of silver a month, co be paid for in y silver certificates. That probably will S not be done in just that way, but I know so many people in influential ii financial and political circles who be- tl lievc that something must be done to a restore stiver 10 its money position, tl and who are working so hard arid in- Ik telligently toward that end, that. I a believe we shall see something effective done about it before very long, b h ijNames * Under the common law which prevails throughout most of the United Slates, a person's name, is anything " he or she chooses to make it after arriving at the age of independence. If I wanted to call myself Solomon y Grundy ar.d so announced, that would he my name. It would not be neces- ? , sary for me to ask the permission of ^ *" any court, or legislature, though I *might get into trouble if I changed '' my name to evade the laws, civil or 15 criminal. James Branch Cabell, famous ? American author, has just made the public announcement that his name a is now simply Branch Cabell. Col. ? Prank Knox, publisher oi the Chi- a cago Daily News, just appointed head ? of the President's anti-hoarding com- 2 mission, was christened William ' Franklin Knox, but he prefers to be y known as Prank Knox, and that is therefore his legal name. ' Presidents of the United States e have changed their names. Grover w Cleveland was Stephen G. Cleveland P a young man. and Woodrow Wil son was Thomas W. Wilson. Herbert 1 - Clarke Hoover, has changed his name to plain Herbert Hoover, with which he signs all official documents. During the war King George of England v changed the surname of the royal ii family from Wettin to Windsor, and tl his cousins, the Battenbergs, are now t] the Mountbattens. Your name is what- a ever you call yourself. n B i Wfflummmm ssss Alice Herself There really was an Alice, for whom the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. using the pen name "Lewis Carroll," wrote "Alice in Wonderland" seventy years ago. She became Mrs. Hargreaves and is still living. TRUE BILLS FOUND AGAINST HARWOODS BY GRAND JURY Raleigh.?Wake County's Grand lury last week found true bill3against Hiss Lola G. Harwood, late employee if the State, who is charged with ;ho embezzlement of $1,823 of the State's money, and against her faher, Judge John H.

The indictments were brought and he bills prepared alter extensive earings in the att i ney general's ofice in which State department clerks cere examined by Attorney General Irummitt and his assistant. The jury :fter looking over the voluminous locument on which the State will aoceed, returned a true bill. The two fill he tried jointly. Solicitor J. C. Little is not certain .hen he con reach the case. It is not irobable that it can be tried earlier ; han April as there are numerous jail 1 ases ahead of this une and these deendants are out on bonds. .... < APANESE FORCE COOLIES TO AID IN THEIR FIGHTING ] Shanghai.?The men every tourist r.nws?the Chinese coolies?have een impressed into service as the ten behind the Japanese guns in i ihanghai's war.

( lVALANCHE IN WASHINGTON j STATE KILLS SEVEN PERSONS , North Bend, Wash.?An avalanche f mud and rocks swept down the , ides of Mount Washington six miles ' rom here Friday, killed seven per ons and demolished four homes.

THE WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?E Sunday School Lesson REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D. International Sunday School Lesson for February 28th JESUS RAISES LAZARUS FROM Tur r*r a p. w c.rti/ John xi, 32-44 Human interest stories attract unusual attention ami here is one that is rich in thrills. The scenes are laid in the region beyond Jordan called Perea. where Jesus is in the midst of an intensive ministry with His disciples, and also in Bethany just a few miles from Jerusalem, where still exists the traditional site of the home of Lazarus. Added interest arises with the introduction of the sisters, so familiar in other scenes, Mary and Martha. Announcement of the death of Lazarus is brought by messenger to Him while in Perea, possibly twenty miles distant. Apparently little attention is paid at first. Later Jesus suggests that the company of disciples go with Him to Bethany. This would be a dangerous trip owing to the announced opposition of the Pharisees and it is interesting to note how Thomas is eager to go along, though it may mean his own death. Martha, the resourceful, meets Jesus outside the town and is comforted in just telling Him all about it. Thankful should we be when we have a real friend to whom We can unburden our heart in time of distress. Mary, who has tarried with the hired mourners in the home, is sent for, and together the friends seek the place of sepulchre. It is right there that the Man of Nazareth reveals his perfect humanity, in that we have the record "Jesus wept." No difficulty is any problem to our Lord. Regardless of all circumstances when He demanded "Lazarus, come forth," the spirit came again to the body uiiu me miiiucr was recurncG to nis sisters. Abruptly we turn to the Golden Text for the sublime truth, "1 am the resurrection and the life; he that, bolicvcth on me, though he dies, yet shall he live." Death, however, refers only to the body. The spirit in man is eternal, but. u will receive a resurrected body at the Second Coming of Christ. France Buys 50,000,000 Gas Masks for Citizens Lai is, France.?Fifty miiiion gas I masks have been ordered by the French government for civilian use, it has been learned from official sourcea-'uere."1 The masks, to be manufactured luring the next two years, will befitted against the deadliest gases de- j i-eloped since the World War. They vill insure, immunity for ten hours,1 oftor which the chemical canisters] -aii be changed. I 3WL CARRIES SNAKE INTO CAR AND MOTORIST LEAVES Goldsboro, N. C.?G. A. Jones, edtor of the Square Deal, Goldsboro ind Snow Hill newspaper, was astonished on a recent night when an swl flew through the open window I if his ear holding a long black snake n his claws, flopping the snake over the face and head of the driver, and settling on the back seat of the car still holding the snake. No wreck followed, hut the editor, a one-armed man, lost :io time in putting on brakes and stopping the car. It is stated that he got out quickly. After due consideration, he cautiously opened the door and shooed nit the undesirable occupants. JESS WILLARD TELLS COURT HE j IS BROKE; SAYS TIMES ARE BAD! Los Angeles.?Jess Willard, one-| Lime world heavyweight boxing champion, says he is broke. In Federal Referee N. T. Mulville's court Friday. Willard produced a quarter and two pennies, and said it was all the money he had. He had appeared to explain failure to $106 judgment. "And the market I am supposed to own belongs to my sister-in-law," lie added. "My home in Glendale and Lhe market are heavily mortgaged. Business is very had." SOUTH CAROLINA MAY PLACE TAX UPON COFFEE AND TEA Columbia, S. C.?A tax of five cents on each liound of coffee or tea sold in the State would be levied under a bill introduced in the House Friday by Randolph Lee, of Dorchester, and R. J. Williams, of Marion. Lee said revenue derived from such a tax would be enough to enable the State to take off two mills of the five-mill property levy. The bill was referred to the ways and means committee. Fifteen Catawba County poultrymen have had their flocks blood-tested for the production of accredited eggs for hatching purposes. HI-LAND DRY CLEANING CO.

Too much acid makes the stomach and intestines sour. Alkali kills acid instantly. The best form is Phillips Milk of Magnesia; one harmless, tasteless dose neutralizes many times its volume in acid. For 50 years the standard with physicians everywhere. Take a spoonful in water and your unhappy condition will probably end in five minutes. Then yon will nlway-3 know what to do. Crude and harmful methods will never appeal to you. Go prove this for your own sake. It may save a great many disagreeable hours.
