SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1931 NEEDED HEPAntS Again the Grand Jury recommends certain repairs on the county home properly. Editorial recollection has it that these slight improvements have been called, to tbe attention of the court for the past everal term's and these interested in the preservation of the county's properties are hopeful each six mouths that the conditions will be remedied. The ends of true economy may best be reached by keeping tab on these small jobs before they become large ones, and Hie commissioners will doubtless proceed, since the matter is brought to light again. The grand jury is to be complimented on its further recommendation that the public toilets at the courthouse be looked after. Only Saturday, a good citizen of the county suffered acute .embarrassment in this connection, when in company with a group of strangers in attendance at obliged to observe the delinquency. Friendly suggestion might Include an arrangement, if such bp possible, with the relief office to take care of some of the labor incident to the carrying cut of the grand jury's recommendations. The Democrat today carries the news of the political conventions and the slate cf candidates nominated to carry forth the banners of the two party organizations. In both, instances care has heen exercise ! to place before the electorate the names of bigh-ininded, upstanding citizens, and this fact should preclude the throw ing of any amount of mud ivhen tSie battle lines are drawn for the conflict of the ballots. While a degree of dissension is said tu exist among partisans on both sides of the fence, personal reelings between individual Democrats and individual Republicans ajtpear to be of the most friendly sort, which isxles for Watauga County a campaign shoiwoi' sonto of the omerness aau rancor 01 tormer years It is to be hoped that this condition will continue when the campaigners go to the hustings, and that following the election all may settle down again in a common purpose foi the further development of the town: and county. The Family Doctor By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES | INTERNAL HEMORRHAGE Dear reader, pray that you may never encounter a case of this Kind, where it is up to you to render any sort of "first ai<l." I cannot think of a much more serious thing than an internal hemorrhage! Here, even the doctor is extremely apprehensive Most internal hemorrhages are from some point in the intestine or. possibly indeed, from rupture or sutures following- a deep surgical operation. Typhoid fever, once so prevalent with its horrible ulcerations of the bowe!,- I have seer, a patient's life go out in a few terrible minutes! Then, fearful nletding3 sometimes take place with a woman at her "change of life ' when she is around forty-five or fifty yeara of age. These often come suddenly, and without warning, as I have seen many a time. fnghteninsr the n.atient onrl liar family almost into fits: In this form ct emergency, get the patient to bed ?loosen all garments at once and stop all muscular exertion or. part of the patient. These cases are not very often causes of death, I am glad to say. Have a low pillow for the patient?and the foot of the bed raised a foot or more. Give cool or cold drinks?never hot?and no alcohol. Symptoms of internal hemorrhage are: Sudden pallor of the surface; weakening of the pulse at the wrist; sudden, intensive weakness with short, "sighing" breathing; indifference to surroundings ? the 'sinking feeling." Then, blurring of the vision, pallor and cold, clammy sweat. In presence of these symptoms give no medicine or hot, stimulating drink without specific orders from the doctor. Maintain the most perfect quiet and smile if you can,?till the doctor comes.

Treasures . . . . j By BRUCE BARTON j ) I UK KOAJJ AND THE WAV ' | The Jews of the first century were '[widely scattered. They had large 1 fatuities and a small country. There j were cclonics in almost every impor."jtant city in the Mediterranean sec. j Hon. but they had times of ho.TC-jc unfng at the several annual feasts i; in J :usHlem The disciples took ad . j vantage of these occasions to preach j to crowds that came from widely j j scattered places, and so quite early !! there began to 1st followers of Jesus, in.'t only through cut Palestine but m Egypt and as far north as Antioch. | It was in Antioch that need was ' j first discovered for a name that ' should distinguish between ordinary j Jews ahii the Jews that recognized i j the leadership of Jesus, and ' the disj ciples were first called Christians at j Antioch Up to that time the follow ! era of Jesus had simply spoken of ! themselves a3 of the Way." The ?first name of Christianity was 4 The I Road." In all these early movements Peter j was the foremost figure. He develjoped a wife of speech that surprised ! his friends, and he never lacked : courage. Bui presently there came on the stage a new figure of vast influence. One of the early preachers, Stephen, had given special attention to those Christians in Jerusalem who had not been born Jews but had come j iii a.s proselytes Ho was arrested and j condemned to death, and was execui ted by stoning. Doubtless the people who did the j actual throwing f the stones were | for the most part :>i the rabble, but j *a young man named Saul/* a zealj OU3 Pharisee, looked on with approval <-n a sentence which he as a member | of the Sanhedrin, or high court, had ; helped to pass.

The nation-wide hay shortage pius ! the increased number of animals to ] be wintered m this Slate wiil place j j a heavy demand on North Carolina\ i farmers this year. Kvery Carolina farmer wiil do we!! ! to save all the available roughage this fall and make preparation now for growing a winter hay crop for early gracing- next spring, says John A. Arey. extension dairy specialist at. \ State College Oats, barley, abruzzi rye. or a mix-! lure of these eerenls, and crimson; i clover sown m September will fur-! nish good grazing early next spring. I If the season is favorable, they will | also furnish grazing this fall. Seeding for grazing purposes should 1 be heavy. Arey recommended the fol- i lowing mixtures, which have giver, i good results. In these mixtures, the quantity of seed needed for one acre is listed. Two bushels of abruzzi rye and 15 pounds of crimson clover, or a mixture of one bushel of beardless wheat, one bushel of beardless barley, and one and a half bushel of oats, and 20 pounds of hairy vetch or 30 pounds of Austrian winter peas. The rye and clover mixture doe? not make good hay, but makes excellent grazing for late fall and early spring when sown in September. The second mixture, sown preferably between October 1 and Vfc can be used for both grazing and hay. If hay is to be harvested, grazing should be discontinued in March, the exact date depending upon the location in the State. Yields of two to five tons of hay per acre have been secured from this latter mixture when sown on good land. The hay will be ready to harvest ! next May when the cereals are in the . milk stage of maturity. Beautiful Women Rule The extremely beautiful women of Tehuantepec, Mexico, outnumber the men five to one. The opposite Is the condition in Buenos A!res. Argentina, where the toen outnumber the women in the same ratio.

Who are they, managing the merchandise of the world, building the walls, tinning the roofs, weaving the carpets, making the laws, governing the nations, making the earth to quake, heave, roar and rattle with the tread of gigantic enterprises? Who are they? For the msot part they descend from industrious mothers who, in the old homestead, used to spin their own yarn, weave their own carpets, plait their own doormats, flag their own chairs and do | their own work.

I IJSES-McRAE COLI.RGK HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF 217 j | j Banner Elk.?Lccs-McRae College I opened on Wednesday of last week With an enrollment of 217. Several new students are still expected. There are two new faculty mem- | hers. Miss Sue'la Susong of Duniap. j j Tenn.. who will teach home econom-1 j iC3 and a course m biology, added to j the curriculum thus year, and Miss j Margaret Severs, of Petersburg, Va., j who will teach Bible and religious | education during a year's leave of absence of Miss Louisa Faucette. Miss Susong holds the degree of B S. and M. S from the University of Tennessee and Miss Severs is a graduate of the Assembly's Training Schooi at Richmond, Va., the women's missionary training school of the Southern Presbyterian Church. Academic credit will be given this year for work in arts and crafts, notably wrought iron, wood-working and weaving. Howard Ford, of Penland, is director of industrial educa! tion and all students working in these j trades will receive seven hours a week 1 credit as in<ttnir>Hr.r? IU1U WT*Wli.J-VUC hours a week credit on their college accounts for self-help work. Each student this year is required to work out part of his expenses in one of the departments of the college. Classes and work-days are alternated daily, on a staggered schedule for freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, giving each student a full day of classes, followed by a day of work, during the week. This is a new plan which, according ie officials of the school, is expected to be more satisfactory than a day divided into work and study. "Under the Lces-McRae arrangement. undivided attention is possible both in work and study, for a full day at a time.
