(Population Rowan Co. 56,665) FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1936 RELIEF—BACK HERE IT BELONGS r An apparent paradox is the great increase in the number of persons employed in industry, with no de crease in the number of families on relief. There is no reason to doubt either of these facts. Ac cording to all the rules of com mon sense, the increase in employ ment should have decreased the de mand for relief. That this has not been the result indicates that there is something wrong. The major industries of the na tion ane employing more people than at any time in the past four or five years, some of them more than in the prosperous days of 1928. Yet at the same time there are close to 5,000,000 heads of families on relief. And this num ber has not varied substantially since 1933. At the root of this whole situa tion lies the fact that no figures even approximately accurate have ever been available as to the num ber of persons who ever had jobs and who are now unemployed. Of course, in the broad sense everybody who does not work is unemployed. But it is common knowledge in every community of the United States that there has always been a percentage of per sons who never had anything that could be called regular employ ment at all.

TODAY AND TOMORROW —BY— Frank Parker Stockbridge ALCOHOL . . . from U. S. crops Mussolini rides in a motor car which uses alcohol for fuel. Italy can produce alcohol but it cannot produce gasoline. In Amreica we have been talking about alcohol as a motor fuel, or a mixture of alcohol and gasoline, for a long time. This has been put forward as a means of helping the farmer. We still have plenty of oil re serves and cheaper gasoline than anywhere else in the world. We also have cheaper alcohol, mostly made from imported molasses, for which we p.ay about 2}4 cents a gallon. Alcohol produced from American farm products would be several times as expensive.

I don’t think we are going to get ,'ery far in that direction. si- *.«• Jr GAS ... . many sources Up in the country a good many >f my neighbors are using a ',bot :led gas” for cooking. It comes in long cylindrical tanks, some of it iust ordinary coal gas and some natural gas under pressure. The other day an automobile ran through the streets of Detroit pro pelled by natural gas. Two small tanks carried enough gas to run a heavy car 70 miles. That is another, interesting ex periment. Also, it is something that Would be more useful in countries where cheap gasoline is not avail able everywhere. In London they are running busses on ordinary illu minating gas in tanks. Gasoline costs one-and-sixpence a gallon in England. That is about 38 cents. It costs about the same in Germany, where they are running some trucks and busses carrying their own gas generators, using wood, coal or charcoal to manufacture the gas in side the vehicle. All of those things are expedients which do not seem economical from the American point of view. * » » CLASSES .... not here Ours is the only country in which humanity is not divided into dis tinct and usually hostile classes. We have here no peasantry tied to the soil as they have on the conti nent of Europe; no working class hopeless of ever getting out of that class, as in England. I see and hear of many efforts to make groups of Americans class conscious, but I don’t think any of them will succeed in setting class against class because it is so easy for any American to remove him self from one social or economic group into another. If we ever do succeed in divid ing Americans into two classes, I think they will be the self-reliant class and the beggar class. 4t •?£ 4t DRINKS .... easing down I went to the annual luncheon of the Associated Press the other day. At mv table were ten men, among them some of the most distinguished publishers and editors of great newspapers in all America. Beside every plate, as we sat down, was a cocktail. As we got up from the table after luncheon I noticed that five out of the ten cocktails were still there, the glasses untouched. I think that is about the percent age of drinking in these days, among men whose business calls on them to keep their heads clear. I have noticed the same abstinence at sev eral other recent public and private dinners at which drinks were served. I think there has been a change [since repeal. People no longer [drink as a gesture of defiance of an [unpopular law. Neither do they ’ take a drink whenever they can get it for fear they may not soon have a chance to get another one. * » «• PRESIDENTS .... of ours Partly by accident and partly in the course of my newspaper work I have had the opportunity to meet and get more or less acquainted with every President of the United States since Gen. Grant. Lately I have been meeting some possible Don’t Prolong The Agony! Next time you suffer from Gas on Stomach, Headache, Sour Stomach, a Cold, Muscular, Rheumatic, Sciatic or Periodic Pains; That Tired Feeling, That “Morning After” Feeling. Get a glass of water and drop in one or two tablets of Alka-Seltzer The New Pain-Relieving, Alka lizing, Effervescent Tablet Watch it bubble up, then drink It. You will be amazed at the almost instant relief. It is called Alka-Seltzer because It makes a sparkling alkaline drink, and as it contains an analgesic (Acetyl-Salicylate) it first relieves the pain of every day ailments and then by re storing the alkaline balance cor rects the cause when due to excess acid. After trying many brands of medicines—so-called relief for fis, and all of them a failure. gave up hopes. By chance I tried Alka-Seltzer—I am more than satisfied. Geo. Bennett, New York, N. Y.

A couple of weeks ago, I wen with some friends to the Whiti House, where we had a two-hou talk with President Roosevelt. Th next day I had a visit with Senato Dickinson of Iowa, and met for th first time Col. Henry Breckinridge who is an avowed candidate for th Presidency on the "Constitution Party” ticket. The next day I hac luncheon with Senator Arthur H Vandenberg . of Michigan and ; couple of days later, lunched witl Col. Frank Knox of Illinois. Some one of the men I have just named is quite likely to be the next President of the United States. ] don’t know which one has the best chance. I do know that they all have less aloofness and more of the manner of ordinary human being; than some of the Presidents I have known in the past. I think the time has passed when a statesman can get anywhere by posing heroically in dignified atti tudes and refusing to unbend in the presence of common people. FOOLING THEM Kiss: "Is that girl really as black as she is painted?” Riska: "No, but she is painted a lot redder than she really is.” For Bad Feeling Due to Constipation Get rid of constipation by taking Black-Draught as soon as you notice that bowel activity has slowed up or you begin to feel sluggish. Thou sands prefer Black-Draught for the refreshing relief it has brought them. Mrs. Ray Mullins, of Lafe,' Ark, writes: “My husband and I both take Thedford’s Black-Draught and find It splendid for constipation, bilious ness, and the disagreeable, aching, tired feeling that comes from this condition.” With reference to Syrup of Black-Draught, which this mother gives her children, she says: “They like the taste and it gave such good results.” BLACK-DRAUGHT THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON (Continued from page One) new principle of taxation only ten tatively and experimentally, if at all. THIS AND THAT The President’s announcement that both the Quody power pro ject and the Florida Ship Canal as WPA projects would be abandoned caused some surprise. The feeling on Capitol Hill is that, having started these public words with WPA funds, the President should have seen them through with money from the same source, instead of asking Congress to provide the rest of the funds necessary to complete the jobs. If the two projects had not been put_up to Congress at the same time, the Florida Canal prob ably would have gotten by on its merits. The death ot Louis McHenry How chief secretary to the Presi dent, had been expected for nearly a year. He was closer to the Presi dent than anybody else. Almost his entire life for 25 years have been devoted to the service of Mr. Roose velt. Some political observers attri bute a big part of the political strategy which resulted in Mr. Roosevlet’s nomination in 1932 to the personal efforts of Louis Howe. REPUBLICAN SURMISES In the field of politics the belief grows in Washington that Governor Landon will not have a walk-over in the Republican Convention, in spite of his delegate strength and wide spread public support. The shrewdest of all the political forecasters here gives him at pres ent a rating of 65 per cent and re gards Senator Vendenberg as the only other prospective Republican nominee to be taken seriously. And the Vandenberg movement is grow ing is the claim of his supporters. THE JOY OF BEING EDITOR Getting out this little paper is n< picnic. If we print jokes people say we are silly; If we don’t they say we are tot serious. If we clip things from other mag azines We are too lazy to write them our selves; If we don’t we are too fond of oui own stuff. If we don’t print contributions.

Long St. EAST SPENCER I __ Salisbury Mill Defeats Indians Brown and Kluttz Have Hurling Duel The Indians lost an exhibition game to the strong Salisbury Mill team on Friday, April 17, to the score of 2-1. The game was a Etchers’ battle between Clyde Kluttz of the Mill and Fred Brown of the Indians. The first five frames were score less, but in the beginning of the sixth, Poss Kesler, a former Cataw ba athlete, opened the inning with a single, Yates walked, and Brittain doubled to deep right field to score both runners. In the seventh, the Indians scored their lone tally. Pritchard was on third base and Black on first. The latter exe cuted a delayed steal to second, and with the catcher’s peg to get him, Sammy raced in from third to score. The play worked perfectly, many thanks to the fast legs of Pritchard. This was the first game of any account for Brown, the Catawba frosh, to pitch. He held the mill team to eight hits, and was in serious trouble only in the sixth in ning. With more experience and coaching, this boy will be among the top-notchers of our pitching staff. Score by innings: Catawba_000 000 100—1 4 i Salis.
