rio.000 DOUGHNUTS' 11
?
TIE "doughnut king*?Jacob Sentlinger Jr., of Wheel-)
ing, W. Va.?has a bakery that turns out 10,000 dough-I
nuts a day.
How tiiat must amaze grandmothers who remember)
when the average family rarely tasted a doughnut that wasn't:
baked in their own kitchen stove. c
It is a clear-cut illustration of the modern tendency toward
mass production and specialization.
Not many generations ago, nearly every family grew most
of its own food, built its own log cabin or frame house put
together with wooden pegs instead of nails. The spinning
wheel whirred busily before the open fireplace, helping turn
out the family clothing. Even medicine was largely a family
affair, concocted from wild herbs. ;
All this is changed. Fuel comes front coal mines hundreds
of miles away instead of front a nearby forest. Also come,
from far ov^r the horizon, most of the other necessities of
life.
The home no longer is a factory. _ ^ {
Its productive activities have been largely transferred to
factories and mills. The penalty of all this is a breaking up
of the home, a scattering of family members to the points
of concentrated production.
Specialization is the key-note of modern times.
In 99 cases out of 100, success,comes as the result of spe
cializing on the production of one commodity or distribution
in one particular industry.. *
The quicker children are made to realize the necessity for
specializing, and then becoming experts among the special
ists, the sooner they will arrive at financial independence.
The secret of success in the twentieth century is selecting
one goal and working definitely and unfalteringly toward it.
BOLL WEEVIL Senator John Sharp

ate tho other day that the reeetit
proposal for cessation of all rot I on
planting to kill the boll weevil was
imprneticnhln ami that farmers must
continue to rely on modern science
and the investigating powers of the
Federal government to curb the pest.
There has long been a growing con
viction that this is true, and Sena
tor Williams apparently has only
confirmed what I lie practical men in
tlie cotton-raising district have found
to be the case.

HARNESSING Those people who
RADIO have regarded radio
communication as an interesting toy
will do well to inform themselves of
tho development of this remarkable
agency in the field of improving ex
isting means of carrying the written
| and spoken word thruout the busi
I
ness and commercial world. The re
cent successful achievement s of ra
dio lias made it impossible for a for
eign nation to over again interfere
with America's free communication
I with the rest of the world. The Ra
dio Corporation of America was
formed as a-result of a suggestion
of represent at ivct* of the 1'niteil
States Navy, and that it has been
justifying all expectations is indieat
j ed by an announcement l?y Kdwanl
Nally. its president, who in giving
out the news that his concern has
made an agreement with the Postal
.Telegraph-Cable Company whereby
j every office of the Postal Company
jilt the l'nited States becomes an
'agency of the Radio Corporation for
the acceptance of radiograms for
transmission across the Atlantic Oc
ean and for the delivery of radio
grams received from overseas for
points in the l'nited States, adds by
way of explantory comment:
''This important linking up of ra
dio and wire line services reflects the
, rapid growl li 01 iin* liaom * nrpora
; lion's overseas telegraph traffic since
itlio return of its high power stations
by the Government. after the close
| of the Wnrhl War. These stations
transmit anil receive radiograms di
rectly to and from England. France.
Norway and Germany, and thru con
necting stations abroad, to and from
all countries in Europe, Asia and Af
rica. The Radio Corporation now
maintains the only direct line of tele
graph communication with Germany
and Scandinavia: and additional di
rect service is planned for the near
future with P.elginm, Holland, Italy,
I Poland and Sweden, giving to those
peoples the opportunity to communi
cate directly with their scattered
brethren and nationals in all sections
j of the country."
Practically all the radiograms
transmitted to transatlantic countries
have originated in New York (,'ity
i and Washington. 1). C. The harness
ing of wireless with the land lines
gives to the whole inland commercial
interests equal fa?ili!ies with those
'now enjoyed by the National Capi
j tal aud the nation's metropolis. With
tin* coming development of liif^h
speed wireless telegraphy the new
arrangement will permit the Radio
Corporation of Ameriea to earry out
its plans for the inauguration of a
low rate plain language Radio Let
ter service to and front all points in
the 1 nited States and Europe, thus
eotitrihaling largely to the establish
ment of closer and more friendly re
la i ?oils between tit epeople of both
lands.
Mr. Xally concludes his most in- t
tcresting statement as follows: "So
far has automatism been carried itt
tliis new art that a bit of perforated
paper tape in Ilroad Street sends a
message to Europe without the aid
of human hands, and at the other
end. another Lit of tape likewise
without prompting hv human opera- '
tors takes the message out of the
air and,visualises it for the operator
with it wavering line of blue ink."

GERMANS EATING Mont eating in
LESS PORK Germany shows
n severe decline. According to the
I'nited Slates Departmcnt of Agri
culture. i lie average per capita con
sumption of meat in Germany lias
d'opped from 10S..7.I pounds in 1D1 :>
to pounds in 1021. The big
gest drop is in hogs.
Depreciated German currency is
given as a reason for decreased con
sumption lis a large majority of Ger
mans can iioi pay the high meat )
prices. Also, fewer live stock are I
being slaughtered because of the
need of replenishing the reduced sup
j plies caused by the war. and the j
compulsory delivery of animals to the '
patent under the terms of the I'eace
Treaty.

EQUAL The National Wo- |
CITIZENSHIP man's l'arty in!
Washington is jubilant over the
passage of the Cable Kipinl Citizen
ship bill thru both branches of Con
gress. T'nder the bill any woman j
may become a naturalized citizen of
, the 1 idled Slates even though she
may be married. Another provision
permits an American woman who
marries a foreigner to retain her I
American citizenship. A great furor
was raised over this feature of the j
old laws a few years ago when Inez j
Milholland, a prominent suffragist.
1 married a Hollander, and thereby
lost American citizenship.

President Harding's Cabinet arc toll- i

CITY'S OLDEST DOG
OVER 16 YEARS OLD
The oldest dog in Elizabeth City !
is "Snap," a white fox terrier owned (
by \V. C. Glover, a well known com
mission merchant. "Snapv Avas 10
years old last March and carries his |
; age well. He is said to have killed
more cats than any other dog in
town. In spite of his old age he
: still retains his teeth, and is not too
grouchy to follow his master as lie
did when a pup. The only signs of !
age are his approaching blindness
and a tendency to nervousness when ;
he stops to rest. i
