TODAY HUNK PARKtR SPOCKBRIDOE FRANCE , , ,r , has grafters I And ? certain patriotic satis faction in the disclosures of of ficial graft and corruption in Prance. It proves, what I have often said, that political crogked nees is not solely an American trait. Some of my friends would hare me believe that everything European is better than anything American. lly observation is that human nature is the same all over the world, and that given the opportunity to get away with It. men who will use their politi cal offices to feather their own Beat a at public expense can be found anywhere. French politics has always been corrupt. This time It looks as if *he gang which has been in pow er for years was through. Some my Paris correspondents are ?reatly alarmed; they predict Another revolution in France. TCT *** O * " ? ? ?? cane Superstitions are hard .to ML Hamanity is credulous because Jnoet of us want to believe in something we can't explain. The atory that has been going the rounds for several years about the curse laid by the Egyptian Pha ? oh, Tut-Ankh-Amen, upon whomever might despoil his tomb, I have heard seriously dis cussed by otherwise intelligent people who informed me grave ly that every one, or nearly every one, of the members of the ex pedition which found the treas ures in that ancient tomb a few years ago had since died a mys terious death. A check-up by Director Win lock of the Metropolitan Museum of Ara proves that out of the forty persons present when. King Jhw? ?ummy waa nn wrapped, thirty-three are still alive and ia good health, after ten years. The ?even who died lived to an aver age of sixty. That doesn't sound as If Tut's curse had been very effective, but I imagine foolish people will continue to repeat the original tale for generations. It is more Interesting than the truth.

He has taken hold of his big job as Mayor of New York City with such vigor and deter mination that it looks as if he might really succeed in cleaning up the frightful mess of corrup tion and crime which was foster ed by his Tammany predecessors. And he has the people of New York behind him to a degree of unanimity which I haye never ?een In tbtoNew York political picture before. Fiorello is a lone wolf in pol itic*. Therein lie* much of his strength. He owes nothing to any party. Nobody has any strings on him. Nominally a Re publican. he woa once elected to Congress as ? Socialist when the Republicans refused him a re nomination. He loves to stir up trouble among politicians. That la one reason why ordinary citi zens like him. - Keep an eye on Major La Quar dla.

Sees Good Results From Cotton Reduction In adapting North Carolina farming to 1934 condition* and acreage adjustment*, farm people should look to a more abundant living, said Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the Agricultural Ex tension Service of State College. "Fewer acre* in cotton should mean more food in our smoke house* and pantries and on our table*," he said. "It should also mean that our hens and cattle and hogs, and workatock will be better fed. "And, perhaps of moat import ance in the long run, it should mean that we will devote more time and attention to enriching our soils." > He called attention to the sec tion of the cotton contract pro viding that rented acres shall be used only for food and feed1 crops for home use or for soil building snd erosion-preventing crop*. "This is the most import ant section of the contract," he declared. "More food, more feed, more -soil-building ? and in places the' greatest of these ia soil-building, for the soil* of some sections need to be greatly improved before it can produce sufficient feed and food to supply home demands or to make farming profitable." To improve soil, the dean advo cates terracing and liberal use | of both summer and winter le [gumes. RECENT BRIDE HONORED Mrs. R. M. Dean and Mr*. R. E.
