We know of no reason why any any legislator ahoold vote against the bill. One lawmaker poiiited out that a health >cfficer had told him that about 25 per cent of the colored people in one county wrere afflisted with syirfiilis and that 20 per cent of the whites were not above aospicion of having some form of venereal ^liaease. Yet in taking oath, all people, decent or otherwise, are made to kiss the court Bibles. We can’t conceive of BiWe kissing doing any good. A witness who is going to perjure himself will do so regrardless of witether or not he kisses the Book. The oath with the right hand on the Bible should carry along just as much sense of solemnity and truth as it is with kissing as an aftermath. Widen The Street •Early in the summer the North Wilkes- IxHt) postoffice will move to its handsome new quarters on C street. The moving of the postoffice will great ly increase traffic on C street between Ninth and Tenth and with the street as it now is there will be much congestion of traffic. It has been pointed out that C street should be widened through that block and that the work should be done at once if possible. A few years ago the street was widened on the north side in order to ac commodate more traffic made necessary by the development of that particular Mock. There is a considerable strip on the south side that could be used to widen the street and this should be done before the postoffice is moved. The government has erected a very creditable postoffice building and the grounds will be shaped attractively. This property will be taken care of and will for years be a credit to the city. It is the duty of the city and property owners in that locality to see to it that that the suirounding streets, buildings and sidewalks are in the best of condition possible and with such appearance that the attractiveness of the postoffice build ing will not be endangered. However, it appears that the widening of the street nnH needed repairs on the street surface ahould be taken care of at once. Movie Entertainment Some few years ago when church workers and others would complain to movie producers about the vulgarity of films the producers would effectively come back with the statement that they were in business to supply the people with the entertainment the people wanted and said in effect that the peo ple wanted sex films. The mighty crusade last year for cleaner films, joined in by Protestant and Catholic churches, must have had its effect on the producers and some very fine films have come to the screen in the last few months that are utterly devoid of vulgarity. No one can deny that these pictures have taken in the cash for theatres and producers alike and this leads us to believe that there has been a change in taste for enter tainment or the producers were wrong in their contention that theatre goers would not patronize better class of pic tures. Theatres were asked last year to name the ten stars that were the most popular in the point of drawing audi ences Such stars as Will Rogers, Shirley Temple, Clark Gable, Wallace Beery and others of that type stood highest. Movie goers know that these stars do not play in features gorged wih sex at tractions and vulgarity. The motion, picture industry has aeemingly turned its attention to ehar- of hotable characters in jilitoiy and fiction and they are send ing to the‘talking screen‘some mighty fine productions. “The movies which once constituted a menace to art as well as morals, now seem definitely headed onward and. up ward to a high plane of usefulneai in the development of American drama,” The Winston-Salem Journal points out in commenting on the present trend to ward dramatic art and characteriza tion. Logical Location The present legislature has passed a measure providing for the establishment of a tuberculosis sanitorium in western North Cardina. While it can be expected that at least half of the counties in the western part of the state will ask for the institution to be placed within their boundaries, there are a number of reasons why Wilkes coun ty should be selected and it appears that we should ask for its location in this vi cinity. While we do not claim to be medical specialists we do know that Wilkes county has splendid climatic conditions that are the gifts of God’s generous nature and such an institution located on the Brush- ies or on the hills in the western part of the county would indeed be a blessing to the entire state. The sanitorium now maintained by the state is located somewhat in the south eastern part of the state and Wilkes, be ing in the northwestern part, should prove a logical selection.. As yet we know nothing of how the site is to be selected but it is a matter for the civic organizations and the public-spirited citizens to ascertain and to lend a hand in doing their duty. Their duties lie in let ting state authorities know what kind of county we have and many of the reasons why this county should be a suitable lo cation. The county tubercular hospital is a sanitorium in a small way and has proved a blessing to underprivileged who were afflicted with the dreaded disease. Medi cal care and good treatment can be at tributed greatly to its success as a county institution but the very fact that it has been successful should be a talking point toward securing the new state sanitorium for Wilkes county. .%S. wWch reads, TPhe Holy Bible,” and which contains rot The Book By BRUCE BARTON our great treasures. TRUE, TO THE END The king of the country was Josiah, who meant well and tried to bring about a revival of re ligion. Apparently Jeremiah correctly estimated the ineffectiveness of Josiah’s character and rea lized that the improvement was merely super ficial. At any rate, he did not ally himself with the reform movement, which quickly died after the king’s death. From this time on, under the driveling king Jehoiakim. Jeremiah was a stormy voice, de nouncing wickedness in the nation and folly at court, and prophesying that Nebuchadnezar would surely conquer Jerusalem. He was impris oned. When he had written out his sermons and prophecies and was reading them at court, the king took the roll, slashed it with a pen knife and threw it into the open fire. Finally the prophet was compelled to flee with a little group of refugees into Egypt. There the women of the company found a new fad in religion. When Jeremiah spoke to the men, saying, “Stop your wives from worship ping the moon,” they bluntly refused. Then all the men which knew that their wives had burnt incense imto other gods . . . answered Jeremiah, saying. As for the word thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not harken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to bum incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done ... for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no veil. But since we left off to bum incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offer ings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. In other words, "The Lord doesn’t look after us and the moon does; why should we stick to the Lord?” It was the question that Jeremiah himself had to face on almost every day of his lonely, persecuted life. His Gethsemane is in chapter 20, verses 7 to 9: “O, God I F did as you told me you didn’t stand by me!” He would have liked to abandon it. but the word of the Lord was “in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones.” He could not escape his des tiny, even though it led him over a pathway of thorns and caused him at last to be stoned to death. ’The book is badly jumbled up, and only by following the lead of s^iolars can one know how to read H in order tn' grt a clear picture. Yet even the most desultory reading reveals the majesty of the figure that stalks through its pages. No man ever spdce the truth at greater peMonal sacrifice. Jeremiah stood firm against the threat of the court ami the anger of the crowd; noblest of all he stood firm when God himself seemed to hare tookea His premises and abandoned. ^ meisii^«r> PU«^ PULSE Iftls Is a o«dma open to flw psMde tar trm expression, Jomal-FatrM doee^ not as- seme any rsq^onsflbfUtf’^Hlor srtldes peteted nndw this sending, mid MtOwr eadocses nor oondenas tbem.

Empl DISCUSSES REUEF Editor of The Journal-Patriot: Though-1 agree well enough with anybody who thinks it un wise to Increase salaries and clerk hire, thoe« who believe all BurpiuB money should be de flected toward the unemployed may be In error, and thoee who think everything should bo ex pended upon direct relief certain ly are. I don't see why taxpayers should be taxed to support re lief people better off than they are. A great many “unemployed” have always been so and would n’t be employed for a farm. For those. actually eager to work, Jobs are highly desirable, of course, and Infinitely preferable to a “hand-out.” Because the great and power ful army of relief cases persist in so much Insolence and perse cution toward the few people who don’t want relief, one often feels a little bitter toward this new and most numerous oligar chy. In reality, the antics, the frauds and sob-stories of these super-chizelers Is the most amus ing comedy on the current stage. Perhaps history never knew a farce equal to that in which a fifty times two vast army of case workers (most of whom gave up good positions for this more lucrative one) are employ ed in coddling with "relief’’ be tween a fifth and a sixth of the whole population of the United States, and two-thirds in some communities. And taxpayers are going to have to pay for more of this “heavenly manna” than is often thought. Most criticism of wholesale relief is mullified because the critics have applied, unsuccess fully, for relief themselves, or are blinded Republicans opposed to every phase of this adminis tration. But the gigantic farce can be viewed without prejudice, and yet be seen to be ridiculous, by people who are stanch Dem ocrats, who wouldn’t be found dead in the woods with charity from the government or from anyone else, and who know by experience that one can be poor er than two-thirds of relief cas es and yet live in comfort with out relief. RUTH LINNET. Advises Poisoned Bait For Cutworm Control Application of poisoned bait to gardens and fields in the spring will prevent the tremen dous damage often caused by cutworms. C. H. Brannon, extension en tomologist at State college, says that an effective and inexpen sive bait can be mixed at home. When properly applied, it will not injure the plants. He recommends a mixture of one pound of Paris green to 50 pounds of wheat bran, with just enough water to moisten thor oughly. If Paris green cannot bq ob tained, sodium fluoride will give good results in the same dosage, Brannon points out, but lead arsenate and calcium arsenate should not be used since they do not give good results. The bran and poison should be thoroughly mixed dry in a tub or other vessel, he says, and then gradually moistened until ail the halt is damp. The bran should be wet enough to crum ble when squeezed in the band, but not sticky or mushy. When mixing the bait, do not breathe any more of the fumes than necessary, he warns, and afterward keep it out of the reach of animals and children. The first application should be broadcast at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds, dry weight, to the acre just before the young plants come up, he says. Applied In the evening, the bait will be fresh when the worms become active. One application usually lasts for several days, but It should be repeated immediately after a heavy rain. When the bait is applied where the plants are above ground, he cautions, do not allow lumps of bait to come in contact with the plants.

The average age of all Pontiac workmen is calculated to be S3. Furthe/' examination of the records disclosed that 1,663 fac tory employees have been with the company from five to ten years; 661 count their continu ous Pontiac service between the ten and fifteen year mark, while 13 have worked tor the company more than fifteen years. The oldest employee in point of years on the payroll goes back 27 years to the Pontiac Buggy Company, which became the Oak land Motor Company, the pre decessor of the Pontiac Motor Company. The opinion sometimes ex pressed that automobile workers are floaters, is not borne out in the case of Pontiac, where the average tenure of employment a- mong factory men is close to seven years. More than 80 per cent ot these men are permanent residents of the city of Pontiac and Oakland county. Building Pontiac Motor Cars is their year- after-year work.

I Indigestion Indigestion is a more or less general term which covers a multitude of sins. It is usual for the patient who suffers discomfort aft er eating to diagnose his case as “indigestion.’’ Per haps there is too much acid in the gastric secretion. Perhaps there isn't enough. It may be that deficient musciUar action permits a sluggish, slow movement of the food. It is quite pos sible that the difficulty is in the small intestine, but regardless of the condition it is to the patient "indi gestion.” Perhaps It is as well, for after all it, isn’t so much the character of the trouble that is Important. It is the cause. Other people have I eaten the same kind of food, in the same quantities, prepared in the same kitchen and under the same conditions. They didn't suffer.. Why?
