TODAY and wr ' HUNK PARKE R I Sr0CKBRI06E| ENTERTAINER8 . . . rich fle]4 ?Young men and women bo (be times ask me for advice In shaping their careers. That is always a compliment, but I am not always sure that I can give them any ad vice of real value. If the inquiring youngster has any talent for public " entertain ment. however, I always advise him to follow that line. The big money flows into the pockets of those who can stir people's emo tions, not to those who try to stimulate their minds. If you can make people laugh or make them cfy,"TMIH.them to sentimental blissfulness or arouse them to an ger, you have something for which they will pay you more than they pay Presidents . or heads of big corporations. ? Where are the largest salaries paid? In Hollywood, to the great screen stars. Who gets the big money for writing? Not the seri ous thinkers whose book contain, sometimes, the distilled essence of wisdom, but the humorists, the romantic novelists, the story-tell ers ? In other words, the entertain ers. In music. In all the arts. In the theater ? even In the pulpit ? Thn the money are the ones who are most skillful In playing upon the ~ human heart strings. I know a Negro tap-dancer who earns mdre money every year than any bank president I know. He has the essential quality of show manship. So if I see signs of show manship in any youngster I always advise them to cultivate it. It is worth more than diamonds. lit DICKENS . . . . on the sown At last the greatest novel of Charles Dickens ? who was essen tially a showman ? has been put on the screen in a manner which preserves all of its comedy. Its pathos, and its essential human ity: If you who read this haven't yet seen the new fllm, "David Cop M perfleld," by all means go to see It. Whether you' have ever read any of Dickens' immortal stories or not, you will realize what a wonderful insight he had into the wellsprings of human conduct, and how keen an understanding of the comic spirit which pervades all "life. I am beginning to believe that the movie magnates have really ?een a great light. The realiza tion that there is more to: life than crime and sensuality, and that there is a great public which Is truly appreciatfve of the very best that it can get, seems to have come home to them. I hope we have more pictures of the quality of "David Copper field." tit CREM.K . ... . . . too much I think I can see signs that the public mind is becoming aroused over the prevalence ol crime. The enthusiasm ofigr the successful work of Federal agents In "get ting" Dlllinger and other outlaws Indicates that those charged with law enforcement need not hesiJ tate to adopt drastic measures. It would be easy to wipe oud crime If crime oould be divorced from politics. Too many politic ians and political organizations are in cahoots with criminals. Thd police commissioner of New York - remarked the other day that he and his men could round up every important criminal were it not for the political protection those felons have managed to obtain. Loopholes In the laws should be ?topped up, but lawmaking is In the hands of politicians, and courts are bound by the laws. The tendency to regard any law, whe ther It is backed by public opinion or not, as more sacred than hu ' man lives and property, has been carried too far. I believe the re action is setting in. t t t CHANGE constant] No human intstitution ever stands still. Nothing else, much, does, either. Even the solid earth has sixteen different motions, pull ing it every which way at once. 4 All that any individual human being can do about it, when he flnds social, economic, moral and political conditions changing . in ways he doesn't like, is either to change with them, doing his best to direct the line of movement along paths aMiicfh he considers more likely to lead to the general good In the long run, or else sit tight and let the world go by. It is in ore trouble to keep up with the world, after a man reach es a certain age, than to pull hlm aelf Into his shell and refuse to have anything to do with the new things about him. But the only way an intelligent person can get much Mtlsfactlon out of life is to be a part of it, and try to find what good he can In its constant changes. Some fundamental truths never change. It is possible to hold faat to the elemental virtues of person al honor and Integrity, to hold one's self-respect, in short, and ?till achieve a fair degree of con tentment, if not of happiness, In the midst of a changing social or "I have been young and now I am old," wrote the Psalmist, "hot I have not seen the righteous for saken nor his seed begging bread." That to as true now u it was when Anne Gould Elopes NEW YORK . . . Anne Gould, great granddaughter of Jay Gould, founder of a great* American for tune, eloped at 4 A.M. with Frank A. Meador an actor and native of Teiaa, to M mvrled at Harrison, tf. Y. it was written. t t t DISTRIBUTION ..... faulty I tried to buy some Northern Spy apples In a neighborhood grocery the other day. All I could get were fine-looking but ? to me ? tasteless western apples, ship ped from 2,500 miles away. North ern Spies grow only 250 miles from the New York market. The same day my wife wanted some Florida oranges. None of the nearby stores had any but Cal ifornias. which we hold inferior. The? had come 3,00 0 mllea; Flor ida is only a thousand miles away. Organised distribution versus unorganized marketing is the an swer. Uncle Sam is paying a lot of attention these days to agricul tural production. It would be of far greater public service ta-reor ganize the distribution methods of food products. VEAZEY ADDRESSES FARMERS A large group of farmers inter ested in improvement of soils J>y preventing soil erosion and the use of proper cropping systems met Wednesday night of last week in the Franklinton High School to hear A. H. Veazey. agronomist at the Deep River Soil Erosion Pro ject at High Point. Mr. Veazey made a very instruc tive as well as an interesting talk on the program carried on by th> Soil Erosion Service in the project at High Point. He discussed the different types of terraces and other means of removing the wat er slowing from the land, along with outlets, check dams and oth er devices. After going izfto a full discussion of how they Were built, etc.. he made this statemeni "that terracing alone will not pre vent soil erosion." Any system of economical soil improvement, consequently im proved rural condition, must not only have proper terracing oi other devices of removing watei slowly frotrf the land but must be accompanied with a cropping sys tem that is worked out with the same goal in sight, A cropping system with legumes and grasses close growing crops, with the oth er farm crops is a step toward a more profitable system of farm ing. Lespedeza has been found tc be one of the best legumes in the Deep River area tor soil building and, preventing sou erosion. It was a most interested groui as was shown by the number oi questions asked by tHS- farmers who were brave enough to face the very rough night. The num ber present. the questions asked and the unusual interest shown expressed a real desire and re quest that such a project here would meet with steady response on their THirt ACCUSED OF MURDER, NEGRO TRIES SUICIDE Henderson, Jan. 28. ? Jim Fogg colored, attempted suicide In Vance county Jail Sunday by slash ing his throat with a razor blade. Fogg was being held without bpnd, charged with the murder ol Bertha Fields, colored, some time in August. The body was found three weeks ago burled on a lot owned by Fogg.
