TAX SURPASSES
MILLION MARK
Collections Under New
Law Show Increases;
Money Pouring Into
Maxwell’s Hands.
Tax increases voted by the 1931
North Carolina general assembly are
being reflected in the collections made
by Commissioner of Revenue A. J.
Maxwell during the early period of the
present fiscal year.
The commissioner collected and de
posited in banks to the credit of the
state’s general fund, $1,313,611.32, of
which approximately $1,100,000 was
in power company gross receipts tax
es. *
Responsible for this large amount,
Mr. Maxwell said, was the increase
from 2 to 5 per cent in this tax by
the 1931 assembly.
The balance of today’s total was
largely public utility taxes paid by
telephone -and telegraph companies,
whose rate was increased from 3 /> to
5 per cent.
As a result of today’s collections,
the state is within $51,522.59 of the
total amount collected for the general
fund during the whole of August,
1930.
witn July general lund and nign
way fund collections exceeding the
totals for July, 1930, and August,
1930, collections almost already equal
led, Mr. Maxwell expressed himself as
gratified with the increase in state
revenue.
It was evident, however, that this
fiscal year state income should show
gains with increased tax rates. Expen
ditures of the state have been material
ly broadened with it pledged to spend
$16,500,000 for state support of the
six months schools as compared with
a $6,500,000 school equalizing fund
y in the past two years.
July general fund collections were
$200,000 ahead of the 1930 figures
with the highway fund showing a
gain of approximately $3 30,000.
Two million American women get
alimony.

More than $1,600,000,000 will be j
spent on road building this year.

"WHITE COAL”
Malmo, Sweden, Aug. 12.—Sweden’s
"white coal”—its enormous supply of
water power—furnishes nearly all
light, heat and power in the country,
and it also comprises a part of Swe
den’s invisible export.
Thus more than 31,000,000 kilo
watts are sent by submarine cable to
Denmark.
HEN FEEDS DOG
Middlebury, Conn., Aug. 12.—A.
W. Bradley claims a coon dog which
has its breakfast egg delivered every
morning by a Rhode Island Red hen. ^
According to Bradley, the hen nests
in the yard in which the dog is kept
and provides the morning repast ev
ery morning without fail.
FRESH, CLEAN EGGS,
WEATHER PROBLEM
Eggs Should Be Gathered
At Least Once A Day
And Stored In Cool Place.
Gather eggs at least once every day
and store in a cool place untyl enough
are on hand for marketing, is a time
ly hot weather warning to poultry
men who would make money with
their birds in summer.
Usually, poultrymen with only a
small flock of birds dispose of their
surplus eggs once a week and this
means a lowered price unless the eggs
are kept in a cool place,” says N. W.
Williams, poultryman in charge of the
flocks at State College. "Eggs are per
ishable. A fertile egg may become un
fit for food within twenty-four hours
because of the rapid development of
kept for a week at a rather high tem
perature and still be satisfactory for
human consumption. The purpose of
an egg is to hatch a chick but there
is a decided distinction between an egg
for food and an egg for hatching.”
Large, roomy nests, kept clean and
dry, will help to prevent mouldy, dir
ty eggs, Mr. Williams says. In all mar
kets the eggs are graded and those that
are soiled always bring the lesser price.
Some poultrymen go so far as to per
mit their hens to lay in the weeds or
under outhouses during the summer
when usual poultry care is relaxed.
Some do not gather their eggs until
they are ready to sell. This is a bad
practice and will cut deep into the
poultry profits.
During the hottest weather, eggs
should be kept under the best of con
ditions and if a case cannot be filled
in three days, those on hand should
be sold regardless, he suggests. It is es
pecially important to keep the eggs
iresn, clean ana cool ana garnering
once a day will help in this. It will
also prevent many cracked eggs caus
ed by two or three hens laying in the
same nest and disturbing those eggs
already in the nest.
FAVORS GREEN SIDEWALKS
San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 12.—Blue
and green sidewalks and buildings, to
absorb light and prevent glare, were
predicted by Dr. O. J. Melvin, of
Omaha, Neb., speaker before the
American Optometric Association
here.
Fie believes some day architects will
specify green brick for structures up
to a height of about nine feet and
from that point upward—sky blue.

PET ANNOYANCES ARE SUMMARIZED;
EVERY FELLOW HAS HIS WEAKNESS
What things annoy you most? Not
many people would take the trouble to
list their pet annoyances, but all of us
know of a number of things we let
"get on our nerves.”
One of the trade publications in a
recent issue cites a score or more of
annoyances against which almost any
body would check. Here they are:
By men who are slow in getting
down to business and slow in depart
ing when they have finished the busi
ness.
By lawyers who try to make a mys
tery out of legal work.
By telephone operators who are
pleasant but dumb.
By reckless automobile drivers who
laugh at nervous passengers.
By late parties—the morning after.
By people who read smutty books
and complain because such books are
not suppressed.
By clubs and societies that are kept
alive by artificial respiration.
By people who sneer at everything
that is new or that is old.
By mechanical contrivances that
habitually get out of order.
By a husband who refers to his wife
by nickname or vice versa.
By people who are habitually late
for appointments.
By women who are easily shocked
—or pretend to be.
By anyone who doesn’t do his job as
well as he can.
By women who complain about their
servants.
By elevator passengers who fail to
announce their floor well in advance.
By luncheon guests who take ten
minutes to decide what to eat.
By men who get me on the tele
phone and then respond when it suits
their convenience.
By people/who talk into my ear in
stead of addressing the group.
By men who push a cigarette at me
every time they light one themselves.
By sales clerks who say "What
else?” after I have said "That’s all.”
By taxi drivers who never carry an
adequate supply of change.
By dinner hosts who do not offer
cigars.
By hostesses who are upset because
I don’t eat soggy appetizers.
By people who insist on being cheer
ful before 9 a. m.
By guests who make no move to go
home at midnight.
By radios that are run continuously.
By discussions of bills for gas, elec
tric light and telephone
By parlor games when intelligent
conversation would be more in order.
By house numbers that cannot be
seen day or night.
The use of motor vehicles has in
creased more rapidly in Japan than
any other country in the Far East,
registration growing from 22,000 to
90,000 in the last six years.
GETS TOO MUCH CARE
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 12.—A
man with a bondage on his nose can
get no end of attention in a bank.
Such a one entered the Central Bank
and Trust Company and soon found
himself surrounded by four carloads
of policemen. A clerk thought he had
a mask on and sounded an alarm.
CATS NEED NINE LIVES
Gardone, Italy, Aug. 12.—A cat will
need nine lives in this town. The death
of a little girl, after she had been bit
ten by a rabid cat, has caused an order
to be issued for all cats to be killed.
30 CENTS WHEAT
USED AS CEREAL
Excellent Breakfast Food
Prepared By Soaking
And Cooking The Grain.
One sure way to get some returns
from thirty-cent wheat is to turn it
into a delightful breakfast food by
soaking and cooking the grain. One
bushel treated in this way will pro
duce three bushels of cereal.
This was one of the interesting dem
onstrations given before the 800 farm
women attending the annual short
course at State College last week dur
ing the State Farmers’ Convention.
Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, conservation
expert, gave a number of demonstra
tions in preparing breakfast cereals and
in canning such cereals. Demonstra
tions were also given in canning non
acid vegetables and meats. She advo
cated the steam pressure cooker as the
only absolutely safe method to use.
"By all means employ the intermit
tent process for non-acid vegetables
such as butter beans, okra, squash, as
paragus, corn, peas and spinach,” she
said. "This method consists in pro
cessing the same length of time on
three successive days. Do not under
any circumstances, attempt to can
meat except in the pressure cooker. It
were better to eat the meat fresh or
to sell it. It is an appalling thing that
many people cook sausage, cover it
with hot fat and seal for winter use.
One takes a chance with diealth in do
ing this.”
To can wheat, Mrst) Morris ex
plained that one must soak a quart of
the grain in five quarts of water over
night. Cook for five hours and it is
ready to serve. This quantity will be
sufficient for serving a large family
with four or five quarts to can. Use
pint jars in canning; fill within an
inch of the top and process under ten
pounds of steam for one hour and fif
teen minutes. This served with sugar
and cream, makes a dish fit for a king,
said the expert.

Tax Assessment
Is Not Changed
Monroe, Aug. 12.—Aside from
some corrections in the value of in
dividual pieces of property found to
be on the tax books at too high or too
low a figure, the 1930 assessment of
all real estate in Union county will
stand this year.
This is the final outcome of the va
rious actions and attempted or sug
gested actions regarding this year’s as
sessment.
SEE CURE FOR CANCER CASES
Paris, Aug. 12.-Treatment of breast
cancer was discussed at the thiid in
ternational congress of radiology at
the Sorbonne.
presenting records or oreast cancer
treatment, Dr. George E. Pfahler of
the University of Pennsylvania, said
that "instead of succumbing to dread
cancer, records now show every rea
son for patients to hasten for treat
ment, as they have an increasing
chance of complete cure.”
Out of a total of more than 1,000
cases, Dr. Pfahler reported that 45 per
cent were treated successfully, al
though many were advanced cases.
Dr. Albert Soiland of Los Angeles,
Calif., describing the use of radium
in breast cancer cases, said "the use
of implantation of platinum-covered
radium element needles offers all the
benefits of close radiation without dis
agreeable reaction.”
Burton J. Lea and George T. Pack
of the Meorial hospital, New York,
in a report showed how 41 patients,
with bad but not desperate cases of
breast cancer, had been treated with
a combined use of the knife and ra
dium or x-rays and 86 per cent of
them after a year and a half of obser
vation showed no recurrence.
