THE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. 0., DEC. 3, 1931. ii80kd itut tbuesdat. J. D. KEKNODLE. Editor. . $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. InMrttf at turn FoUele. at Uribaa. ?V 0.. aa aaouoo^laaa mattar. Football, the national game, is not without its casualties. A late state ment puts the number of deaths at 31 during the season. It comes high to both the spectators and the play era In Tuesday's election in the 6th New Jersey Congressional district Percy H. Stewart, a Democrat, was elected to a vacancy caused by the death of a Republican. This gives the Democrats 219 seats, a clear ma jority of two. The normal Republi can majority has been 36,000. The administration has received small | comfort from the recent elections. ^ A charity game of football will be played at the Duke University Stad ium Saturday afternoon. The cream j of the teams will engage in the con test. Duke and Carolina are pitted against State, Wake Forrest and Davidson. It no doubt will be a great game. If the fans patronize it as well as they have the other games a goodly sum should be rea lized. Mr. Hoover champions plan to buy homes on easy installments af ter an initial payment of one-fifth of the entire cost. Most would-me home owners find that Initial pay ment an insuperable barrier. Home ownership is commendable in the highest degree and is a pretty sub ject to talk on, but the depression handicap that has fastened itself up on the country has wiped out many homeownerahip prospects and dreama Hold-ups are e\ eryday occurences. The laws do not put the crime in the same class with burglary. The burglar who enters a home in the night time goes prepared for any emergency, if he meets resistance. The crime is a capital felony. The hold-up also goes prepared for any emergency and about the first in timation the victim has of what is going on is a gun in his face with a demand for the cash. In either case the victim is in extreme Jeop ardy, but there is a wide difference in the punishment prescribed by law. Here is something for legis lators to reconcile in crimes and punishments , In Kentucky tobacco growers are wrathful and resentful at the low prices, lower than last year, re ceived for tobacco. They threat ened to tear down the warehouses. Wrong there?the operators of ware houses are not responsible. The trouble is somewhere else, and it Is not because the consumer is getting the manufactured product far less. Ah a fact, some of the manufactur ed goods, if not all were advanced in price not so many weeks ago. It might be worth while for the gov ernment to do some investigating Maybe there is a "secret treaty" somewhere that needs to be brought into the open. The Congress that convenes next Monday is going to count noses on prohibition. There will be Demo crats and Republicans voting pro bnd con. There are avowed wets and bone-drys on either side. There is some sentiment tor the repeal of the llth amendment and a good | deal more for a modification. Pro hibition is not sailing on an eveu keel?that's the thing that bothers, while millions are being spent in | an effort to enforce an unpopigar law. There is small hope for the ideal in prohibition, but conditions 'might be materially improved by ?intensive education as to evil snd | -baneful effects of intoxicants. ? Flannel cakes are used to clothe 'the tamer man. ?I,:. BUILD AIRPLANES FOR STRATOSPHERE France and Germany Work in Great Secrecy. ? Washington.?Germany has matched France with construction of an air plane for traveling In the stratosphere^ far above the earth, at an exceedingly high speed. Manufacturers of this type of plune visualize It making a trip across the Atlantic to New York, flying ten miles high. In Ave or six hours, thus revo lutionizing all present modes of air plane travel. Both the French and the German machines, the latter built by the Ger mans Junkers Arm In Dessau, were constructed secretly. A general description of the German plane has been forwarded to the Com merce department here. The ends of the wings are pointed and the fuse lage Is long. The width of the aldp from wing tip to wing tip Is 36 feet. The plane flies slowly at low alti tudes, but Is capable of making 300 miles an hour at high altitudes, or bet ter. The construction la of the all metal low-deck type, with one built in Junkers 800-horse power motor of the L-88 type. To supply oxygen to the motor In the rsrefied atmosphere In which the plane will fly, the motor Is equipped with a bellows arrangement. The pi lot and his assistant will occupy a low pressure sealed chamber Into which oxygen will be pumped, Instead of the usual cabin. The air pressure In this chamber will be artificially Increasel to corre spond with the Increase In the pree sure of the air at high altitudes. Preliminary trial flights are expected Jo be made soon. Three Bath* Yearly Once Limit for School Girl* New lork.?The schoei girl who U scrubbed and fed and lent off each day with a pile of books under her arm Is probably healthier and happier than the young scion of nobility who was placed In a private Institute of learning 200 years ago. From a catalogue Issued In the Eighteenth century by a school for the daughters of nobility at St Qyr, France, we get this Interesting bit of Information: "Pupils are entitled to hare one set of underclothing, one pair of stockings, and two handkerchiefs per month. Towels; Pupils, one every week; nuns, one every two weeks. Footbaths: Pu pils. one a month; nuns, only by sp? clal authorisation of the superior. Complete baths: Three a year (May, Jnne, and July?. Pupils unable to take their baths on the appointed day must wait until the following months." Though a great many modern school girls are net as spick-and-span as they should be, eveo the children ef city slums are not aa rigidly cot off from the comforts of clesallnees as were these daughters of bygoaa kings. Rule* Men Ha* Right to Boast Under Soft Moon Los Angeles.?A man has a legal right to boast to a girl-under the spell of a romantic moon, Superior Judge Thotpas C. Gould has ruled. fh? Judge made his ruling in de nying the plea of Lotus Phillips for an annulment of her marriage td Stanley Phillips because she said be told her he w*S prosperous and could gire her a weal) er of expdh. sivs things, but nevar did. "Every girl la promised ?U man ner of things under a soft moon," ?hid the Judge. "Nat that they pect to take such prattle literally, bnt they sort of expect the weuer to pslnt a rosy plctnra of the future. One of the oldest laws entitled a ?* to 'puff his wares.'"
