You might hit a poliecman. There’s i no telling. Always race with locomotives 1 to crossings. Engineers like it. It breaks the monotony of their jobs. Always pass the car ahead on curves. Don’t use your horn be cause it might unnerve the other fellow and cause him to turn out too far. Demand half the road—the mid dle half. Insist on your rights. Always lock your brakes when skidding. It makes the job more artistic. Often you can even turn clear around. Always drive close to pedestrians in wet weather. Dry cleaners will erect a monument to your memory. Never sound your horn on the road. Save it until late at night , for a doorbell. Few homes have guns. Take the shortest route around blind left hand turns. The other fellow can take care of himself if you* can. Never look around when you back up. There never is anything behind your automobile. A few shots of booze will en able you to make your car do real stunts. For permanent results quaff often and deeply of the flow ing bowl before taking the wheel. Drive as fast as you can on wet pavements. There is always some thing to stop, you if you lose con trol—often a heavy truck or a plate-glass window. Never yield the road to the car behind. The driver may be a boot legger being pursued. Never stop, look or listen at railroad crossings. It consumes valuable time, and besides, nobody believes in signs. Lapse your insurance. Your family will remember you kindly anyway.—Ministers Casualty Un ion Magazine. Amos’ n’ Andy Wish Luck To Governor Raleigh.—Some years ago, before he was elected governor of North Carolina, John C. B. Ehringhaus was an amateur performer in minstrels at Elizabeth City which were directed by Freeman Gosden and Gosden and his famous part ner, "Amos ’n Andy,” telegraphed the chief executive best wishes for his speedy recovery from a slight indisposition. The governor was back at his work in his office when the tele gram came. He looked much bet ter than he did last week, when he insisted on going to the office a few hours daily though a kidney ailment was bothering him. "We hear you are slightly in disposed. Our best wishes for a quick recovery to that good health you deserve,” the telegram said. Chuckling, the governor re counted that he knew "Amos” back "some years ago” and acted in several minstrel shows which Gosden directed. ■—READ THE WATCHMAN Don’t Try To Mary Boss, Business Girls Advised — i--— New York.—The "boss” as a matrimonial possibility was de bunked to an audience of New York business girls here this week. "As a marital 'catch/ the boss has been vastly over-rated,” said Mrs. Elizabeth MacGibbon, adviser on office etiquette. "He usually isn’t a catch—he is often bald.” She also said that "office wives” —the boss’ secretary, soulmate, and nurse—are on the wane. "The modern girl has too much sense to be one.” In a list of do’s and dont’s for office conduct, Mrs. MacGibbon warned against male chin-chuckers and back slappers. "Simply ignore them,” she ad vised. "If the man at the next desk gets sentimental, laugh him off and go on working. Don’t take him ser iously.” Asked what men resent most in girl employees, she replied: "Office 'scenes’; tears and tan trums. And they hate dressing room primping.” A clean neck, said Mrs. MacGib bon, is often more important than a college education. "Every week I hear of girls who lose jobs be cause of dirty necks.” She ruled out perfume for office wear. "You don’t go to business to be alluring.” As for chivalry from male co workers, "You needn’t expect it— you won’t get it.” | Injured Workers Injured industrial workers and the dependents of those killed have received $5,538,806.00 in work men’s compensation during the six years in which the compensation j act has been in force in North . Carolina, while $2,8 52,007.00 has . been paid for medical, hospital, , nursing and other cure for the ] rehabilitation of injured workers, , a total of $8,390,813.00, the an- ] nual report of the N. C. Indus- . trial commission shows. , During the six years } 67,966 ] vorkers were injured, an average , >f 94 for each working day, knd 502 of these injuries resulted in leath. In the first year of the act, , 1929-30, the largest number of in juries occured, 33,709, and the smallest number, 23,63 5, occurred ( in 1932-33. The largest number ( sf accidents was caused by handl- , ing__object, but the greatest cost resulted from highway accidents, the report reveals. During the past year, ending . June 30, 193 5, the commission had , reports of 27,172 accidents, of which 25,146 were male and 2,026 female workers. In this year $1, 107,209.00 was paid out in com pensation and medical benefits to and for injured workers in North Carolina. Of this, $224,096.00, or 20 per cent of the total cost, was paid as the result of injuries to employees on the streets and highways. Of the 73 deaths re ported last year, 30, or 41 per cent, were on the highways and streets. In the year $254,078.00 was a warded in compensation to the de pendents of the 73 workers killed in employment. Green County tobacco growers have purchased 33,000 pounds of tax free allotments from other growers who did not produce their full amounts. The tractor terracing unit in Pearson County was used to build 41,700 feet of 18-feet-wide terra ces on four farms last week. In addition, 5 3 fills were made across gullies, 1500 feet of private farm road was built and three ditches 800 feet long were dug. Nervous, Weak Woman Soon All Right "I had regular shaking spells from nervousness," writes Mrs. Cora San ders, of Paragould, Ark. "I was all run-down and cramped at my time nnt.U i would have to go to bed. Alter my first bottle of Cardul, I was bet ter. I kept tniring cardul and soon [ was all right The shaking quit and I did not cramp. I felt worlds better. I gave Cardul to my daugh ter who was in about the same con dition and she was soon all right" Thousands of women testify Cardul bene fited then If It do«e not benefit YOU, consult a ohyslclan. The Naturalist’s Column (By Frazer G. Poole) In this column we have, in the past been concerned with birds in general. While there are a number of birds, all equally interesting, [here is one with which it has been my good fortune to deal more close ly than with most others. This is [he barred owl, a bird that is found is widely distributed in the United States as any other owl. It breeds from N. F. to Sask., Mont., Col., \rk., Tenn., and Ga. With the pos iible exception of the screech owl ind horned owl no other American owl covers such a wide range of :erritory. The barred owls are primarily in labitants of the woodlands and for :he most part they remain in their ^articular localities throughout the /ear. In their nesting habits they re semble the majority of owls, nest ing where possible in a hollow tree or occasionally, perhaps, making use of a deserted hawk’s or crow’s nest. Their usual cry is a deep toned whoo-whoo-whoo who-whoo to-whoo-ah. This may vary both in length and in syllables and may assume at times an almost human sound. This cry, heard winging up from the depths of a swamp in the middle of the night, is perhaps one of the most wierd sounds that nature has to offer. It is a call that s seldom forgotten, even by those vho generally pay no attention to oird songs. - 1 111 1 11 in lYiaryianu, tuc uducu uwi jins to nest around the 8 th of darch and the young are hatched iround the last of the month. The lsual number of eggs is two, al hough three and more rarely four lave been found. The eggs are vhite and very nearly round; and lere it may be noted that almost ill birds who lay their eggs in some lark place lay white eggs; e. g.; kingfishers, bank swallows, and voodpeckers. When hatched the young are sovered with a soft white down ind are about the size of a young :hick. Beginning with the day they some out of the egg they have snormous appetites and both par ents are kept busy supplying the lestlings with food. They are ex remely fond of rats and mice but eadily gobble up young chickens >r rabbits. In a period of two veeks, during which I once ob erved a family of young owls, the arincipal food was rats, although moles, rabbits, young chickens, a squirrel, and a few miscellaneous surds were also a part of their diet. The white down 'with which they are covered when hatched jives way within a week to a few brownish feathers. Gradually the birds assume the juvenile plumage until by the end of the eighth or ninth week they, have acquired the complete juvenile feathering. At the end of this period their sails are conspiciously barred, as is ilso their breast. The eye rings, nowever, have not widened to the sxtent that is present in the adult lor are the bars as narrow as they ire in the adult. Beginning about the sixth week she young commence to forage for shemselves and for the next three >r four weeks the young birds and she adults live together.

Depot | Camp Fire GirisCoiripIete Nation-Wide Survey | SAN FRANCISGO . . . 250,000 Gamp Fire Girls of the country, between tne ages of 14, and 20, have just completed a national survey on unemployment, relief and better citizenship. They found vocational training for girls of their age extremely lacking and one of the basic causes of general unemploy ment. The survey included a careful study of local city governments, local Telief plans and objectives. It is planned to submit the results to the Federal .government. Photo shows local Camp Fire girls submitting a chart of city government to Mayor Bossi. or may be discontinued soon after the young are capable of caring for themselves. The barred owl, like the rest of his kin, has the ability to eject the undigested parts of his food in little round pellets. It is often pos sible therefore to tell what the birds have eaten by close inspection of the bones of the ejected pellets. Their prey, unless too large, is swallowed whole. It may be noted above that the principal article of food is rats; and so, although they may make use of a few chickens and birds, their ability to eradicate vermin so outweighs the value of the few chickens they eat that they should be protected where possible.
