(taut - - wajhinotch Washington, February 23. ? What is confidently expected to be the biggest small-home build ing boom in the history of the country has been started with the - gning of the new Housing Bill. Unlike many of the pump-prim ing methods of stimulating re covery, the new housing plan calls : at no Federal appropriation ex cept for administrative expenses, it authori7.es national mortgage associations to underwrite mortg- , ige loans made by private lend i.ig agencies, guaranteeing such }oans up to a total of two billion dollars, or half as much again 1( tie President"so decrees. Mort gages may be guaranteed' up to 90 per cent of the first $6,000 and ^0 per cent of the balance. This nables home-buyers to finance ;aiall homes with as little as a :en per cent! down payment Expert 800,000 Now Homes Yearly The immediate spur to recov ery will be due to an increase in Ihe demand for durable goods and the products of allied industries is well as a wide gain in the em ployment fields directly- and in directly connected with the build ing trades. Thousands of letters are being ^ent daily from Washington ex plaining the regulay^Diis of the -iew Housing Act to lending in ?titutions throughout the land Conservative estimates place the .umber of small buildings to bej onstructed each year for the next j Mve years between 600.000 a*d J00,000. Tbe new Bill likewise! ?pens up a new field in the en couragement of heavy building by extending mortgage insurance to j ental projects constructed by | /? rivate persons or corporations to j value as high as $200,000, and | ?n project's by limited dividend i orporations to as great a value $5,000,000. This is a Political Year The whole outlook is clouded, so far as legislation by Congress Mid definition of policies by the Administration are concerned, by "he fact that this is a political year. Political reasons must be ? ought behind every official act und utterance, in view of the ap proaching Senatorial contests in ?!2 states and the Congressional lections in all 48 of them. Much Senatorial action is be ng tempered by the desire for Presidential backing in the pri maries, except in the case of Dem .jcratic Senators who have already gone on record as opposed to the President. The test there is their attitude on the Supreme Court oill last Summer, over which the party's first and widest split oc curred. Those nine, Adams of Colorado. Clark of Missouri, ieorge of Georgia, Gillette of Zowa, Lonergan of Connecticut, ivIcCarran of Nevada, Smith of South Carolina, Tydings of .\Iary and and Van Nuys of Indiana ?vere in effect read out of the Democratic party ' by National Chairman Parley, and therefore :he political interest in their fate at the respective primaries is intense. r 1 -K I? 1-1 *? v asi1 ui DiiiKirj v>. i iiamnt-r Many Senators who have most | -onsistently stood by the Presi- 1 <Jent will likewise face bitterly- 1 contested primary fights. Among i those so regarded are Senators McAdoo of California, Bulkley of! Ohio, Dietrich of Illinois and | Claude Pepper of Florida. . iMost spectacular and closer to [ :he political vision of Washington ia the threat to the seat of Sena tor Alben Barkley of Kentucky by 1 Governor Albert B. (Happy) Chandler. There is no question as to where Senator Barkley stands in Presidential favor. He was Mr. Jtoosevelt's personal choice for Majority Leader when Senator j Robinson died, and he is the Ad ministration's chief reliance in the Senate. Not long ago Pr&si dent Roosevelt sent his trusted secretary. Marvin Mclntyre. to Kentucky to see what' he could 1 do to help the Senator in the pri maries of August 6. Hoiv Chandler Went to Wasliinfjtoton At the same time Gov. Chand Ter was in Washington trying to sell" t'he President the idea of ; naming Senator Logan to the Fed eral Bench, so that Chandler Could get into the Senate without hav-l ing to fight Senator Barkley. The ?President refused to take part;, in 3ny Such deal, though the only official statement on the subject was Chairman Farley's declara tion that the Democratic National Committee would not stand in the *ay of any man who aspired to office and had no concern in pri- i jnary contests. Washington was not greatly im pressed, except in its sense of hu mor, by Gov. Chandler's descent on Washington. Nothing like it, one observer remarks, has been seen here since Huey Long. Mr. Chandler was accompanied by an u*med bodyguard, a member of ?e statie police, and by a retinue three advisers. The governor * now trying to convince Ken- 1 jpckians that Barkley favors the ; mnti-Lynching Bill ? of which the I Senator has given no indication ? | and that his support of the Wages- j ttnd-Hours bill is contrary to Ken- ; tncky sentiment. 'Honny Boy" an<l $10,000 Htuke It is generally understood here l&at there is almost nothing the President- would 'not do for his friend Senator Barkley that "Hap fT'( is regarded as a very brash STARS AND BARS ON U. S. COINS For the first time In the history ot this nation the Stars and Bars ot the Confederacy appear on a United States minted half dollar. A replica of the Confederate flag appears on the commemorative half dollar Is sued by ihe U. S. government to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and the final reunion of the surviving veter ans of the war between the states. The coins, limited to an issue of 50,000, sell for $1.65 each. They arj available through the Pennsylvania State Commission, Gettysburg. Pennsylvania. young man. The attention which hid clash with Senator Bark ley has attracted to hiui is leading to many inquiries as to how he got elected Governor over the op position of tin' regular Kentucky ilemocratic urganization. One theory is that he charmed the voters by his beautiful singing of A1 Jolson's "Souuy Boy" at politi cal meetings. Another, more gen erally credited, is that he was 'staked" by Col. Edward R. Brad ley. oi Idle Hour Farm, near Lex ington. Ky., and the Beach Club of Palm Beach. The charge that it v.- as a $10, OuO contribution from the world's greatest gambl ing house owner which started Happy Chandler into the Execu tive Mansion at Frankfort is not expected to help him persuade Kentucky voters t-hat he ought to supplant Alben Barkley in the Senate. There seems to be plenty of rules for success, but none at all for failure. This must be because it doesn't take any. Button I i RCA VICTOR TRY IT TODAY!

DAVIS) On the Frank! int on Koud just opposite our new Courtty Ho rite I stands another historic place, thel property and the present resi-l deuce of Mrs. 1). G. Pearce and her interesting family. In form er years as far back as any now living can remember it was known ( as the Kilpatrick place. Though | often repaired and possibly re built the old house still wears i some of the distinguishing fea tures it has ever had ? notably i one. Though really a two-story j house the roof conies to the level i of the first floor ? making the ! windows of the upper-story to I open apparently through the roof. i Why? 1 have always heard that l j in that distant day when it was buijt there was a special tax on | I two-story houses and this wasl | done in order to evade th^it. In N front of the old place in the i-e i collection of many now living on | the South side of the road there | i stretched a memorable row of I | Cedars low-branched and of dense i foliage making that road which ' hugged it closely on the North at tractive' enough in the summer j I but the dread of all travelers and ; I doubt not of all teams too in the winter. The mud of that stretch ; of road, deep and red and winter- j ! long was notorious. But whence I the name Kilpatrick? I have al- j , ways thought that it was for the reason^Jhat Gen. Judson Kilpat rick, a Union cavalry officer had , his headquarters there when a part of Sherman's army camel : through Louisburg on its way back North after Johnson's sur-' render near Durham. April 18t>5. Recently I wrote the Secretary of War, to find out if he could, if Gens. John A. Logan and Judson I Kilpatrick did pass through here : on their way back North after Johnston's surrender. He wrote me back that they were both pres ent at the surrender ? Logan in charge of an infantry division and Kilpatrick of cavalry? but they could not tell what was their line j of march afterwards. 1 know per sonally that John A. Logan Was | here. Though I was only a mat- 1 ter of five years old I remember his face distinctively. ,\Iy father had been broken up in midst of his school term by the arrival of ! the Yankee soldiers and dispos sessed of t-he Academy. On a i day, .memorable to me. he went there to see the condition of things. I accompanied him. The j whole grove ? the Kfwii as well ? | was full of blue coats. Distinctly do I remember our going down that avenue in company with an officer. The rows of jents pn each side, and one tent well out iu t<he avenue. In th.it tent there sat at a table one with a face that indelibly impressed me a dark complected ;nan with heavy Mack hair, and a long black moustache. Nineteen years after that. James (i. Blaine and John A. Lhl.mii were nominated by the Rep 01) I leans for President and Vice President 01 United States. When their pic tures appeared- in the papers I told my father that I must have seen those men somewhere. He reminded me of that day and said lhat this U. S. Senator and N ice Presidential candidate was none othfr '-han the I'nion General I had seen with his black hair and moustache so many years before. The Academy building was being used as a storage place for the corn being brought in from every quarter to feed the horses of the Union cavalry force. At the time of my father's going there the whole floor was tilled up toL'The level of the windows and such was the weight that the sills beneath ijvere sagged or broken. While I can not surely connect Gen. Kil patrick's name with this place this much is sure ? he was in charge of a cavalry force at the Mine of Johnston's surrender some part of this force, certainly passed through Louisliurg on its return North ? it is certain that John A. Logan passed through here and the soldiers with him gathered a great quantity of corn stored in the Academy and other places for the use of the army, also that Lo gan with his infantry and KH patrick with his cavalry were not only together at Durham at the time, of the surrender but had been cooperating before around Fayetteville. Goldsboro and lieti tonsville. Add to this that for many years afterward* the place in the minds of many ? some of whom still live has been associa ted with t'hat same Judsou Kil patrick. And yet some of our oldest citizens, Bro. Wiley Holmes and Messrs. Charlie N<-;t I and O H. Harris tell me that a family by the name of Kilpatrick ^cer tainly lived at that plac>> before the war. I have endeavored to find some Mace of them but up to this time have not been able td do so. Speaking of Gen. Sherman's army and the possibility 'of his coming to Louisburg re minds me of the familiar story of the' three leading citizens of the town go ing to meet him in Raleigh to surrender the place. Ushered in to his august presence they stated their mission. . "Louisburg. Louis burg" said the General. "Where in h is that.1' Just- what an swer these grave men made to that quest.ion or how they felt history does not record.

I>. > j KAIXACIOIS BKMKFK ^{K (i.\lU)l\(; Hl.MAMTY Perhaps no physician is better | adapted to discuss fche erroneous I beliefs to which the majority of j the laymen subscribe than Dr. Tom A. William?, of Washington. D. C.- a friend of mine and a most experienced doctor. In a recent talk with him he set forth the popular misconcep tions about' the human body and they are so worth while aud so absolutely tr.ue that^I take the liberty of telling them here. Kight hours sleep is positively not essen tial for health. Edison, and thou sands of other intellectual men, did with a few hours sleep daily and enjoyed- excellent health. In somnia never leads to insanity. Overwork is not responsible for a nervous breakdown and fatigue does not accumulate front day to day in the sysjem and ultimately necessitate a long period for recu peration. One does not need to plan his diet with great care, neither is a variety of food eaten at the same time harmful. Cucum bers aud milk; oranges and milk, whiskey and oysters acids and milk is not in the least incom patible and do not cause sour sloinafli. neither, are they causes I for indigestion. Constipation is not I lie base of all physical ailments, and it posi I lively is not the result of eating | t-he wrong kinds oi food Certjiin ' foods, such as .fresh vegetables, | and special fruits, help ill over* j coining the condition but there are other factors much more im ! portunl which bring ahoui this | nilinvnt. One's mind has much to | do with tin- physical condition of | every individual. Dr. Hillings ineffi i I'ions a case of an army officer : who suffered a slight wound, which should not have inconveni enced him. He was. unusually ro bust. strong, healtliv. but declared he knew he would die on the fourth day as p result of this in jury. which lie' <| id. An autopsy showed that every organ of his body was exceptionally healthful and that' the wound could 1101 pos sibly have caused his death, but he died nevertheless, because of a j mere mental suggestion. It is claimed for conditioned air that it reduces the number of heat prostrations iu summer and the number of colds in winter. ? ? ****? ??? ABOUT * ; SOCIAL SECURITY * * v K* >i< sfc Jjc $ QUESTION: If a grocer em ploys his wift ^nct children in his store, are they covered l>y the old asc insurance provisions of the ! Social Security Act? ANSWER: Yes. The old-age in j 8 lira nee provisions of the Social Security Act cover all employees and do not exempt- family employ | ment. It is important to bear in ! mind also that where a portion of the remuneration recfeived is 1 in kind, e., in food, lodging, I clothes, etc.. that remuneration [.also constitutes wages as defined ! in Title II of the Social Security | Act. QUESTION: Does the unem ployment compensation tax apply 011 the total wages of 'an employee j or just on the first $;i,000 earned 1 in one years? ANSWER: The unemployment compensation tax is payable en- ( tirely by the employer in this ?? State and is assessed on his total pay roll, without regard to the! amount of earnings of any one) : employee. In other words, the $3, 000 per year maximum, applies under Title VIII of the Social; Security Act does not apply inj 1 connection with the utieiuploy- 1 ment compensation tax of this State. ?? QUESTION: Will monthly old WHAT S WHAT age insurance payments be mads to everyone af'er the age of 65? ANSWER: No. In order to re ceive monthly old-age retirement* benefits from the Federal Govern ment. individuals must have been employed in at least five different calendar years after 1936 in what might be roughly termed "Indus try and commerce" and their wages from such employment must be at least a total of $2,000 and they must have reached the age of 65. QUESTION: Must an employe? be employed continuously and un interruptedly during the five-year period required to qualify for monthly benefits? A: No. One day's gainful em ployment in each of five different! calendar years is sufficient to meet the five-year minimum re quirement. The Federated CooperaMv?
