London.—For the first time In his tory the public was admitted to the •acred precincts of the college of her alds, when that institution held an ex hibition here to celebrate the four hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of the granting of it's charter by King Rich ard in. The Heralds, Clarenceux king of arms, Lancaster herald, Rouge Dra gan pursuivant, under the direction of the hereditary earl marshal of Eng land, are inextricably linked with the spacious days of British history, when men were all brave and jousts and tourneys occupied that place in public affection now filled by ball games and “'the gridiron. Even today the college la an extremely busy Institution, par ticularly when a coronation or some other magnificent state function is in prospect. Its everyday work calls for the Qualities of artist and lawyer, poet and magistrate, master of ceremonies and arbitrator. Heraldry is a fine art which Is also an exact science, and it is one of the duties of the college to direct aad control the design of the crests and coats of arms with which the most newly created lordling wishes to em blazon hjs automobile and household silverware. Further, the college ren ders indispensable service to students Tigers Get a Texan Clarence Phillips has been brought from the Beaumont (Texas) team to bolster up the pitching staff of the Detroit Tigers of the American league.

Stresses Value of Tradition. “In times when many disruptive ten dencies are at work the value of tradi tion is brought home to those who have the stability and continuity of our civilization at heart,” said the foreword to the catalogue of the com memorative exhibition, and that sen tence may help to give some under standing of one of the most amazing, and fascinating shows ever seen In London. The college of heralds Is so old— it was probably in existence long be fore Its charter was granted in 1848— that it refers to centuries as lightly as others speak of years. In this ex hibition were seen pedigrees of the Fifteenth century which trace the origin of the Saxon kings back to Adam and Eve. This magnificent vel lum makes the intriguing suggestion that Adam “dyed of the goute.” Earl of Lemonade Recorded. The college of heralds touches at so many points in the history of these islands that it was not surprising to see a prayer book of King Charles 11, lent by King George; while near by was the pedigree of Admiral Lord Nelson, and signed in the admiral’s [ own shaky hand. This tree is of very modest size, compared with some of ; the vast charts which were on dis play. The negro slave, Henri Christophe, who became king of Hayti, created a nobility of his own which included two peers with the high-sounding titles of “the Duke of Marmalade” and “the Earl of Lemonade.” The original register of arms of this exotic no bility was in the exhibition. Among grants of arms was the draft of a grant to John Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon, fattier of the poet, and an interesting note in defense of his granting these arms by the garter king of arms of that day, when it was claimed that they too closely resem bled the arms of Lord Mauley. Os particular American interest was the picture of Heralds proclaiming the Peace of Versailles in 1783, by which the independence of the thirteen col onies was recognized by the mother country. Ax Found in New York Believed Made in 1600 Albany, N. Y. —An ax found at Am sterdam, N. Y., recently is of Seven teenth century, European workman ship—probably a Holland product— the National museum at Copenhagen, Denmark, has informed state museum officials. The' Danish authorities point out that the date the ax is believed to i have been manufactured coincides with i arrival of the first colonists from Hol land, between 1612 and 1664. Paul R. Hojolin, a contractor, dis covered the ax near an old stone fence. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA # Avoidable Murders, By LEONARD A. BARRETT ' Accidents by automobiles seem to be on the increase. Fatal injuries caused by automobile ac clde nt s In 1933 over 850,000, and on accident insur ance has also in creased due to the additional hazards involved. We are not surprised at this when we read in a recent city report that during the “first five months of 1934 there were 540 fatalities, or 106 more than in the corresponding period of 1933." Upon examination of exhaustive re ports on automobile accidents occurring last year, one is astonished to discov er that the majority of these accidents are not caused by mishaps to old or second-hand cats, but to new cars. Oriental Touch There is an oriental feeling in this white crepe tunic dress for afternoon wear. White dotted navy blue belt and lacings through the buttons are a 6trong color accent. The hat, bag and shoes carry out the white navy color scheme. —From Milgrim. Bad brakes or weakened parts of old cars are frequently blamed for these misfortunes, but investigation has proven this Is not true. If the blame cannot be placed on,the condition of the car itself, where else shall we look for it? There is only one other source, and that is the driver himself. Un doubtedly most of the accidents are caused by haste. Speeding, when the way is clear, is not so much at fault as haste to pass another car, or to beat a red light. Many persons try to save ten minutes of time with no definite Idea in mind what they will do with that ten minutes after they have saved it. Just the idea of “get ting there” is at the basis of most of our troubles. Poor judgment may also be put down as a contributing cause which prompts one to take unneces sary risks. Downright recklessness is a serious fault. This spirit of indif ference to consequences may be caused by drink or certain abnormal mental conditions. Doubtless there are some persons from whom the priv ilege of driving a car should be taken away. The fact that in the majority of our states any person, regardless of fitness, may drive a car, in itself presents a very serious hazard. The public should at once be spared the danger frpm Irresponsible drivers. Is the remedy for this menace to be found in legislation? Increased police vigilance may help some, but with the Increased traffic it seems impossible to make this efficient. Watch the other fellow —take no chances, seems to be the wiser course. C. Western Newspaper Union. The Ark and Dove Ships _ The Ark and the Dove were the ships which brought the first settlers of Maryland to this country. The Ark was a ship of 350 tons burden and the Dove a pinnace of 50 tons. They sailed from Cowes, Isle of Wight, and landed their passengers at St. Marys City in the spring of 1634, after a voyage which took the whole winter. By Lydia. Le Baron Walker IT IS a good idea for childrens to have small allowances. Pin money -was the name given to allowances . which were meant to be spent on trifleq. This was when pins were scarce, and wom en wanted money with which to.buy’’ them. Pins were not considered essen tial, but desirable luxuries which in dicated Incomes above the necessities . of life. To have pin money was a mark or evidence of riches. Today with pins -a com- J mo n commodity y C and necessary/ ar- tides, the .term i®. ’ pin money, has \,|g=? been superseded /. tmay**||=j=-. by that of ailow \ . |K.- ( I have dwelt on jSreK l the name pdn money, partly be-, cause mothers can, 'J’ help their ’Attie, / *, t folk to earn' ifheir ’ 1 xiyf allowances f>y pick s y i n S lI P pins.

J l\ W Included. Needles counted a penny each. They were scarcer and consid ered more dangerous to have Hyhere they could be trodden on, and perhaps broken. You can imagine how dear the floors were kept from both 'pins and needles, and how we children rev eled in the days when the seamstress or the dressmaker came to the house to work. Today vacuum cleaners can be damaged by gathering up pins- and needles, so why not let th.e youngsters earn some pin money by keeping the floors free from pins and needles.-and thereby help fill their wee purses or . banks with the proceeds of their labor? Mother’s Helpers. . Mothers can make their little folk feel they are making money and this is so like grown-ups in the business world, that they rather relish the idea. At the same time she can be getting the youngsters to help her in her housework. For example I know of one mother who used to put a- penny on the window sill of each bedroom where she wanted the beds' made. The penny went to the child who made the bed in the room. I can assure you the beds were made early in the day. The mother inspected the work, and.,com mented on it favorably when the. beds were well made, and made suggestions of how to improve the making when she was not satisfied. She did nafc.find fault, but made- helpful suggestions, such as telling the child how to smooth the under bedolothss well to make the spread smooth, etc. There are always some tasks for lit tle hands to do and they will be will ing hands if they get some remunera tion for their labor. After all this is one way of helping children to. learn what it means to be self-supporting. It is a method which works to the ad vantage of the employer, who!is moth er in this case, and the employees, who. are the children.

It is not pay which makes any work good, although good work is worth good pay. Just what good pay is de pends upon the age or era. For exam ple, in the World war prices soared to phenomenal heights. In the recent de pression .prices were extremely low. Just now there is the gradual return to the normal. But whatever the pay for the work, its excellence should not be influenced. The worker should endeavor to reach a high level of ex cellence and maintain it. The underlying idea in the saying quoted is easy to find. There is a per sonal equation in all work whether it is craftsmanship, cooking, carpentry, plumbing—and so through all trades and arts. The worker decides wlietli- j er be will do his or her best, or w.heth- ; :er it shall be good only when the pay j is high. The crudity of making the , money value the criterion of excel- , lence is recognized in a moment. And yet there are persons who slight their tasks unless pay is high. ©.

They hang in a bedroom of the three j century old house. In those days, when a young man was about to propose, he carried a j “courting mirror” to her homo.

PAGE SEVEN Ox Sledge of Funchal Survives Motor Advent Automobiles, motor busses and trucks now crowd the narrow streets of Funchal, capital of the Madeira islands, but it is the native carro, or sledge, drawl- by a pair of patient oxen, which catches the eye, says the National Geographic so ciety. In one of these two-seated, cur tained and canopied “oxey-cabs,” which resemble big baskets on run ners, the traveler glides along the smooth, polished cobbles to the cog railway, which carries him up a steep incline to pine-clad heights, 3,300 feet above the sea. A feature of the ascent is the shower of flow ers tossed by blossom-laden children, who scamper after sledge and slow moving funuicular. This graceful act, unfortunately, is marred by the insistent clamor: “One penny! One penny!” The return trip from the mountain can be made in a toboggan sledge, Which offers an exciting ride. The speed of the passenger and cargo sledge is slow, but the . downhill “running earro” provides real thrills. This broad armchair o. runners is used in descending selected routes of tilted streets. Two men hold the sledge in leash by guide ropes; as it starts down the slippery stone paths they hop bn to the back platform and the slide begins; Theatrical Note “Dad, what is an actor?” “An actor?
