LOOKING AHEAD TO 1936
All the signs point to the likelihood that the New
Year just beginning will be one of the most exciting years
we have had for a long time.
In this country the big fact is that this is a Presi-j
dential election year, and all the indications are that the
campaign, which will begin around the Fourth of Julyj
and run to November 9, will be the most exciting political;
episode in our national history since Bryan ran against
McKinley in 1936, just forty years ago.
Abroad it seems quite probable that there will be a
major war, involving big European nations, before very|
long. Again, nobody can say with certainty that this
war will break out in 1936, but there surely will be en-/
ough war talk to keep the whole world in a state of
jitters.
Watch for big developments in the scientific and'
technical fields in 1936. The ytar just ended saw the
establishment of the first air mail and passenger service
across the Pacific Ocean. It seems to be 011 the cards
that before 1936 is over we shall see the beginning, at
least, of a similar Trans-Atlantic service.
It would take a brave man to promise that television
(will be perfected before the year 1936 ends. But it is
certain that long strides will be made toward the goal
of bringing the world's great events, as they occur, be-1
for the eyes of millions of people sitting comfortably
in their own homes.
No one can be quite certain that we have yet achiev-1
ed the stable recovery for which we have been looking
but we are certainly on the way. Doubtless there will
be set-backs, but there is nothing now to suggest that
our general economic situation will be worse when 1937
rolls around, and many signs to indicate that it will be
better.
The most important thing that will happen in 1936,
is what has been happening every year for the past
1935 years. Th^t is the steady growth of the spirit of
human brotherhood and goodwill, of justice and righte-:
ousness in human relations. For nothing is more cer
tainly true that in such matters the world has been get-,
ting better every year.
It will keep on getting better in 1936.
TRAINING PUBLIC OFFICIALS
What may rightly be called one of the most im
portant pieces of news that has been published in a long
_?igae, is the recent announcement that a New York manu
'"r * facturer and philanthropist, Lucius W. Littauer, has
given $2,000,000 to Harvard University to endow a School,
of Public Administration. |
The weakest spot in our whole political system is;
the lack of trained administrators. It is an old Ameri-1
can saying that ' ' anybody can run a hotel. ' ' Everybody
knows that isn't true, but we intrust the management
of our public affairs ? and our tax money ? to men whose
only qualification is that they have been faithful workers
for the party in power.
How far that system can be changed in a society as ,
completely political as that of the United States is some- ;
what doubtful. But if the new School of Public Admin-,
istration does nothing more than focus public attention ,
on the fact that special training is desirable for those;
who ate to manage our complex administrative systems
i. - of government, it will have done something, [ti f

Questions
Answered at State College
Question: What Is the best
method (or caring meat?
Answer: There are two princip
al methods advocated in North
Carolina ? the brine cnre and the
dry salt cure, either ot which It
satisfactory. Common salt la the
basis of all meat caring and In
either method is the predominant
tactor. In both cures sugar is
sometimes used to give the meat
ft better flavor and to counteract
the action of the salt by keeping
the muscles soft, where salt alone
makes them hard. Formulas for
th the brine cnre and the dry
t cure are given In Extension
der 34 on "Killing and Cur
Meat on the Farm." Copies of
..folder ma/ be had free upon
lication to the Agricultural
tor at Btate College.
question: What proportion of
shoald I glra- my tenant
who U railing poultry (or me on.
shares?
Answer: Where all the baby1
chicks, equipment, and feed are!
furnished the tenant should re-'
ceive about one-seventh ot the
birds or an equal amount of the
sale price. From 14 to It per-1
cent of the sales is a good range1
for labor payment. To make any
profit from this arrangement,
only good healthy chicks should
be furnished the tenant. Oood
brooder houses /should also be
provided as well as a properly
Ibalanced ration. The tenant should
have a good knowledge of feed
ing and Care ot growing chicks
together with some knowledge of
poultry diseases.

Hauptmann Nerves Failing
- 4* ^
! Trenton, N. J., Doc. 31. ? Tho
I Iron nerves of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann are cracking at last,
authorities at the New Jersey
State prison believed today.
After watching Hauptmann's
reaction to the execution of one
of his fellow death house inmates,
Romaine Johnson, thlrty-four
y ear-old negrq, last night, the
prison officials declared it was not
unreasonable to hope the stolid
Bronx carpenter would make a
complete confession of bis part;
In the Lindbergh baby kidnaping
and murdeOMfore his scheduled
walk to the death chair himself
the week of January 11.
Has Case of "Nerves"
The first word that Haupt-|
mann's amazing fortitude had be
gun to desert him came from Col.
Mark 0. Kimberllng, warden of
the prison. He aald:
"Hauptmann displayed a bad
case of 'nerves' while the death
warrant was being read to John
son. and for an hour before and
more than two houi*s after John
son's * execution he lay huddled
beneath the blanket of hla cot.'.'
Food Untouched
All day yesterday Hauptmann
left t>U food standing untouched.
Only when two of his attorneys.
O. Lloyd Fisher and Frederick
Pope, visited him and told him
they believed his chances before
the Court of Pardons were "better
than even" did the prisoner ap
pear to become cheered.

How Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Bad Cold
Millions have found In Calotabs a
most valuable aid In the treatment
of colds. They take ope or two tab
lets the first night and repeat the
third or fifth night If needed.
How do Calotabs help Nature
throw off a cold? First, Calotabs Is
one of the most thorough and de
pendable of all intestinal ellmlnants,
thus cleansing the Intestinal tract of
the germ-laden mucus and toxines.
Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the
kidneys, promoting the elimination
of cold poisons from the system. Thus
Calotabs serve the double purpose of
a purgative and diuretic, both of
which are needed In the treatment
of colds.
Calotabs are quite economical;
only twenty-five cents fori the family
package, ten cents tot the trial
package. (Adv.)
