M. Pickens of Lincolnton are
prosecuting vigorously a campaign
to have him elected commander of
the North Carolina department of
the American legion at the Ashe
ville convention.
Salisbury members of the legion
have received the following letter
from Commander Herbert Miller
and Adjutant S. H. Steelman of
the David Milo Wright Post No.
30 of the legion at Lincolnton:
“The David Milo Wright Post,
No. 30, will present the name of
Wiley M. Pickens for the office of
department commander at the
Asheville convention, submits the
following facts for your informa
tion and asks your support:
"Pickens served in the infantry
during the war as an enlisted man,
being discharged as a corporal,
joined the American legion in
September, 1919, being a charter
member of his post. He has serv
ed in many capacities in the legion
since that time: post vice com
mander, post commander, district
commander, department vice com
mander, on many committees of the
post and department, being chair
man of the resolutions committee
at the 1934 convention. For many
years he has been a member of the

Actors Devise Way To
Keep Wolf From Door
Chicago—A stage "bank” which
handles real money was offered to
the nation’s theater as a model
method of ending I. O. U.’s of ac
tors chronically "broke.”
The proposal came from Robert
Milford, manager of the company
of the operetta, "The Great Waltz.”
An innovation backstage, where
i improvidence and genius are often
linked in Thespian tradition, the
"bank” idea has been used success
fully for months by the operetta
troupe.
A $5,000 a week 'business is done
| by Assistant Manager Paul Dauer
in the little "banking” booth where
he keeps "office” hours from 10 to
11 a. m. daily except Saturday,
when the doors are open from 1:30
to 5 p. m.
Money is deposited in savings
and checking accounts, checks are
cashed, loans are made on notes
and stocks and bonds are purchased
for investment purposes.
The "bank”—unchartered and
actually only a service performed
on a nonprofit basis by the com
pany management—was founded,
Milford said, when 80 "boys and
girls” of the chorus agreed to de
posit 10 per cent of their salaries
in savings accounts as a backlog
against the day when the operet
ta’s run will erM.
"The idea has worked so well we
have taken it up with Actors Equi
ty and suggested it be worked out
on a national scale,” Milford de
clared.
"Such a bank would end long
standing evils of the theater: the
I. O. U. system, and impoverish
ment of actors and actresses be
tween engagements, particularly in
the summer season.

■HOMf ““fACTS
— A,BARBARA DALY -
Not long ago a woman came to
me with a look of sheer disgust on
her face.
"I never want to look at another
food budget again as long as I live.
They suggest the same thing day
after day, stewed prunes, cooked
cereal, beef stew and baked apples,
until I’m fit to be tied.”
"Well,” I said, "Tying yourself
in emotional knots isn’t going to
help either. I could sit down and
tell you just how many pounds of
this and that to buy to keep within
your budget. But I won’t. You
are experienced enough to buy care
fully and not spend your money for
foolish food frills. Tell you what
I’ll do. I’ll give you a batch of
my choice economy recipes and you
can fit them into your own food
budget.” She beamed and I
brought out the recipes two of
which I give you here. They are
inexpensive but quite aristocratic
enough to hold their own on Park
Avenue.

Crown Stew. In a heavy frying
pan brown two large chopped
onions in a generous tablespoon of
cooking fat. Add a pound of ham
burg, breaking it up with a fork.
I.et the meat brown lightly then
lower the heat and add three cups
of hot water or the vitalizing water
drained from cooked, vegetables.
Let simmer very gently with a tea
spoon of salt, a half teaspoon of
pepper and a fourth teaspoon of
ground cloves, for 15 minutes.
Stir in two tablespoons of flour
mixed to a smooth paste in cold
water. Cook until thickened and
serve with boilel riccd potatoes.
Serves four comfortably.
Custard Apples. Peel and core
four whole apples. Save the skins.
Drop the apples into a syrup made
of four cups of water, half a cup of
sugar, four whole cloves and a slice
of lemon peel (optional). Cook
until tender but still firm. Re
move the apples and chill. Add
the apple peelings and cook down
20 minutes, strain, bottle and store
for future use as svrup with pan
cakes. Just add brown sugar and

whipped stiff. Chill Flavor with
lemon extract or leave plain. Pent
over the apples for serving.
Hobbies for Housewives was the
subject for debate recently, at one
of the women’s colleges. Handi
crafts such as knitting, sewing and
gardening, are grand hobbies, but
to some they come under the head
ing of household chores. As an in
centive to those who would like to
express their hidden creative urge
in other directions it was suggested
that these women arm themselves
with the Leisure League of Amer
ica’s new booklets or. hobbies.
Therein one may "discover the
stars,” dabble in oil painting,
"shoot” pictures, or study dancing
at home—just for fun.
Sales of china and glassware draw
larger crowds to some department
stores, than any other type of mer
chandise. Yet fewer secs of dishes
are being sold than ever before. In
stead, women buy from open stock,]
eight or ten of the type of dishes
most often used and supplement
these with harmonizing pieces of
peasant style pottery.
Few cereal products have the ver
satility of corn. Besides lending
its services to the kitchen as a vege
table or corn o:I, and ir. the guise
of cornstarch for pudding; and
sauces, it enters the laundry as a
washing aid, the parlor as a pos
sible filler in wallpaper, the bath
room as a cosmetic, and, away out
in the woodshed, the shoe cleaning
box as an ingredient in shoe polish
Did you know that marmalade
gets its name from "marmelo”
which is the Portuguese name for
qi ir.ce? In Europe where orange,
art far more expensive, marmalade
was first made from the quince.

NEW lens formula which will I
prevent near-sightedness has been
developed by Dr. Martin Heber
feld of New York. Dr. Heberfeld
will not patent his discovery, but
will make it available for all. The
new lens is not a cure for nearsight
edness, or myopia, but prevents
eyestrain which causes this afflic
tion to grow progressively worse
and compels sufferers to seek
stronger glasses from year to year
as their eyesight fails.
Myopia, or near-sightedness, is
the most common eye trouble of
children. There are approximately
19,000,000 persons in the United
States suffering from this defect
today, and around 375,000 are ad
ded to the number each year. Pre
serving the vision of our young
people is therefore a tremendous-'
ly important service.
In his years of experiment, devel
oping the new lens, Dr. Haberfeld
formulated a set of recommenda
tions for the conservation of eye
sight, as follows:
Hold reading matter slightly be
low eye level and as-far from eyes
as possible.
Have light coming over lef^
shoulder if right-handed, and over'
right if left-handed.
Don’t have light too strong or
too dim.
Don’t read lying on back or on
stomach.
Don’t read in shaking vehicles.
If you use your eyes all day,
don’t read at night.
Look up into the distance every
fifteen minutes when reading.
Always after reading do the
"rainbow” exercises with the eyes,
right up, left, and reverse.
The rainbow exercises referred to
in the last recommendation consist
of making the eyes describe an arc
like a rainbow, casting them back
and forth through the upper semi
circle, each time bringing them as
high and as far to the right and left
as possible.
Rust is the smartest of the new
spring nail polishes. This shade
takes care of anything you wear in
suntan, including your complexion.
All the colors that have yellow in
them, including the greens, brown,
orange-red, are grand with a touch
of rust at the fingertips. . . . The
new rust nail polish has an added
advantage, for it produces two ef
fects from the same botle. One
coat gives the nails a soft peach
bloom tone for conservative mo
ments. An added coat cover the
first, gives a bright and sparkling
effect.
A novel window display in a
Fifth avenue New York shop
showed the contents of the average
woman’s handbag which, juging
from the articles found, seems to
be closely related to the small boy’s
trouser pocket. Among the more
startling items were an electric light
bulb, a piece of lump sugar, and a
partially consumed sandwich. The
average handbag contained the fol
lowing; bankbook, snapshots, scraps
of paper, keys, pencils, small
change, bills, comb, cigarettes,
matches, pins, letters and a mirror.
The object of the survey was to
make sure that the new handbags
for spring offered sufficient room
for all of milady’s needs.
(Household Hint: A young white
turnip, scraped and mixed with a
little mustard, vinegar and milk is
an excellent substitute for horse
radish sauce to serve with roast
beef. It is not so strong and pun
gent as horseradish and is preferred
by many.
In the quaint language of the
year 1288, an ancient Scotch law
recognized the Leap year preoga
tive of women: "It is statut and
ordaint that during the reign ol
hir maist blissit Mageste, for ilk
year knowne as lepe eyare, ilk may
den ladye of both highe and lowe
estait shall hae liberte to bespeke ye
man she likes.”
Drunk Driver Picks Judge’s
Back Yard To Drop Anchor
Newton—Evidently Virgil Del
linger, Lincolnton man, is not fa
miliar with the resident judge of
the Sixteenth Judicial district,
Wilson Warlick, of this city, as
was evident by his actions last Fri
day afternoon.
Dellinger, accompanied by a
friend, drove into the local superior
court judge’s home on West C.
street, and after, succeedmg in
driving over much of the judge’s
pretty shrubbery in the yard and
barely missing a large cedar tree,
brought his car to a stop at the rear
of the house.
The genial judge, who happened
to be out in the back yard over
seeing some work in his gardens
,walked up to the car to inquire of
the trouble. He noticed that the
two men were intoxicated He
asked them to get out of the car
and let him back it out of the yard
and off his shrubbery, whereupon
the driver is said to have become
angered and attempted to insult the
judge.
Judge Warlick then summoned a
policeman and had the men locked
up, charging Dellinger with driving
under the influence of whiskey.
In Catawba county recorder’s court
this week, Dellinger was fined $50
and the revocation of his driver’s
license.
Sentenced For
Cashing Mother’s
Pension Check
Fayetteville — Mary L. W.
Campbell, a negro woman preacher,
was sentenced to three years in
prison when she was convicted in
United States court here on a
charge that she cashed her mother’s
pension checks for eight years af
ter her mother’s death. The de
fendant is a resident of Cumber
land county.
The mother was drawing com
pensation for the death of her son
in World war service. It was tes
tified that Mary had told investi
gators her mother was living in
Bertie county, but a two-year in
vestigation finally established that
the older woman had died in 1928.
Judge Meekins sentenced her to
the Federal prison for women at
Anderson, West Virginia.
