INSTALLMENT BUYING
In a recent magazine article, Dr. Isaac
F. Marcosson, author and economist stated
that “on Jan. let, 130, the American people
owed $2,500,000,000 in installment debts.
They not only paid it off with a smaller loss
than any other business in the country, but
they hive paid off a similar installment debt
three times since the beginning of the de
pression.”
Installment buying, roundly criticised by
many people, has become an accepted busi
ness practice, contributing to the flow and
volume of trade in America as in probably no
other country on the face of the earth.
It has its good and bad features. The
man who can afford to pay cash and does, in
order to benefit, by a low cash price, cannot
understand why so many consumers use the
installment plan. It is the only way many
people can secure the desires of life. The
idea of buying now and paying later has cer
tainly lifted the standards of living to a high
er level for those who have been able to meet
installments, yet it has brought grief and
disaster-to Others who have ventured too far.
With lower interest rates, carrying
charges on installment purchases have come
do^mWr5vmganolWer stimulus to this type
of buying.
A HITCH ON THE PARK ROAD
* Secretary jpr,§mmerer, in charge of na
tional parks wants North Carolina to make a
deed to the Federal government for the park
to-park highway right-of-way but Chairman
Waynick of our State Highway Commission
hesitates to do so for fear that the govern
ment wffl Jlrohlbit the driving of trucks over
the road. ; :
Of course the Federal government will
set up traffic regulations and perhaps bar
commercial trucks from driving over the
mountain-top road, but what of that? It
does seem that we should have one road thal
is purely scenic in character and free from
the lumbering trucks that ply the traffii
lanes of our country.
The park highway was conceived with
the idea of opening up a virgin land of na
tural beauty where the people might seek
refuge from the clamor and rush of every
day life and where they might feast their
eyes on the magestic beauty of the towering
hills and quiet, restful valleys.
By deeding the right-of-way to the Fed
eral government we may surrender the right
of traffic control to the public parks depart
ment but it is all the more desirable that the
scenic highway be what it was intended to
be and not a commercial traffic lane.
METHODIST UNION
It will be a great day for Methodism
when the tri-Methodist plan of union is grad
ually worked to consummation. At each
meeting of these groups where unionism is
considered, the plan advances with little or
no friction.
There is every reason why these three
great religious bodies should get together
under one flag, one regiment in the army of
the Lord and mightly little reason why they
should not.
Each denomination loses its life—yet
each finds it and the combined strength of
the thrge will make that life more abundant
and more resultful. Discussing the proposed
union which would become effective in 1939
if and when ratified by the three church
l*odies, the Statesville Daily says:
‘There has been much duplication, of ef
fort and money-—duplication and loss that is
not excusable simply because it was made in
the name of the Lord. Small churches have
eked out an existence, side by side; pastors
have served congregations that were not able
to support them and that should not be call
ed upon to do so. Yet their unselfish minis
trations have been one of the bright spots in
American history. For these old wheel
horses have been infinitely more than am
hassadors of God—they have preached anc
taught jnd worked with their hands towarc
a better citizenship as measured by civic anc
material accomplishments.”
It might be added that denominationa
division in practically all of the groups cam
as .8 result of sectional difference;
during the Civil War and as we get furthe
j.way from that experience, we might als
-ee a union of the Baptist and Presbyteria
bodies of the North and South.
BEAUTY WORTH THE PRICE
An editorial in a recent issue of the
Morganton News-Herald, entitled “Beauty Is
Costly,” recounts the tremendous sums—to
talling $8,500,000—which North Carolinians
spent on their personal appearance last year
but concludes by asking, “Who can claim it
is not money well spent.”
Certainly no woman will make such an
absurd claim for women know the value of
maintaining and cultivating what measure of
good looks the Lord has given them, regard
less of cost. They know that poor grooming
and carelessness about their appearance will
defeat them in the business world as quick
ly as poor spelling and carelessness about
their use of English. What is more import
ant to them, they know that lack of beauty,
or at least the semblance of beauty, will de
feat them in the world of romance more
quickly than lack of intelligence, lack of
character or many another lack. And so, a
woman will spend her last six bits for a fing
er wave or a facial, even though her shoes
need half soles and she must stay up half
the night to do her laundry.
Just as important to men is their por
tion of this $8,500,000 which they spend on
hair cuts* shaves, shoe shines and pressing
bills. Just as essential to their success in
the important ventures of life is this busi
ness of “putting up a good appearance.”
May the beauticians, the cosmeticians,
the barbers, the tailleurs and the pressers live
long and prosper for, he who aids the human
race in its eternal quest for beauty has add
ed a large figure to human happiness.
What Other Papers Say
THAT THIRD PARTY
(Lynchburg News)
They are In the habit of calling it a “third party"
every time a new one appears, though there are al
ways several parties already in the field and the new
one is the fifth or sixth or seventh, as the case may
be. Everybody, however, understands what is meant.
It is another party appealing not to any partisans but
to the dissatisfied element of all existing parties,
especially those of major proportions. And everybody
understands by now that the “third party” Is not like
ly to have real influence on the result. Theodore
Roosevelt's Bull Moose aggregation of Republicans
and a few independents and Democrats split the Re
publican party wide open and elected Woodrow Wil
son President. None other in recent times, however,
has accomplished anything good, or anything much
at all. The "gold Democrats” might have stayed in
the Democratic party or have gone over to the Re
publicans and McKinley would have been elected by
little more or less. LaFollette carried one state,* but
Coolidge's election was by a landslide as it would have
been had LaFollette remained regular.
The Union Party, so called, repeats the story. The 1
peculiar alliance of «, Northwestern radical, a Detroit
priest-politician and a California real estate
with a crack-pot idea amounted to virtually nothing.
Its vote was Small and its influence undetecUVe.
But four years hence there will be another “third
party."
New Jersey's commissioner of education says it is
all right for a teacher to call a student a nitwit if it
is done in a friendly way, somehow recalling the sit
uation in Mississippi, where you may call a man a Re
publican if the epithet is accompanied by a smile—
Macon (Oa.) Telegraph.
There have been candidates who would rather be
right than be President, but there have been just as
many who would rather be wrong than not be.—Phila

Seek Return Of AAA
Farm leaders meeting here want
id AAA and its fatter benefits to
replace the present soil conserva
;ion benefit plan. Those from the
midwest and south had a special
reason for preferring AAA, which
vas expressed by Secretary Wal
lace in one of his book. There he
said: "Producers of wheat, com,
jotton and tobacco will not receive
juite as much money for their work
rnder the new (soil conservation)
program as they did under the old.
Producers in the east and far west
will receive somewhat more.”
Wallace says frankly that crop
insurance alone might be disastrous
f two or three successive fat crop
pears resulting in piling up a large
surplus of crops paid by farmers “in
tind” as premium. He insists crop
jontrol measures must go along with
insurance. ,

How Its Works
TO a layman the whole insurance
plan appears unutterably complex,
tnd perhaps likely to Involve much
field work, either on the part of co
operating farmers or department
employes.
For Instance, say a rather hazard
ous crop area in the Dakotas is to
be blanketed under one general
rate, subject to modification to fit
the loss experienced on each farm.
Each farm must be classified, not
only as to type of farm land but
u to the type of farmer. Then a
rate must be fixed for that farm

Palpitation
The word palpitation is derived
from the Latin term palpltare,
Milch means to throb, Palpitattttt
Is defined as the consciousness of
the heart's action, whether fast or
slow, regular or irregular. It is
generally a disagreeable sensation.
Sometimes to a sensitive person, it
Is very distressing.
Palpitation is a frequent com
plaint and one that brings the suf
ferer to the physician with the sus
picion of his being a victim of heart
disease.” Oddly, there is little com
mon agreement among the patients
on the meaning of palpitation.
Wneh required to describe exactly
what they fel, some will report that
their heart turns over. Others will
say that they feel the beating in
the chest, the throat, the heart, eyes
or ears. Still others will add to their
complaint a feeling of pain in the
region of the left breast and an in
ability to fill their lungs sufficient
ly” with air.
What is the likelihood that one
suffering such complaints actually
has organic heart disease? In a
recent survey of 900 consecutive
patients attending a heart clinic
and complaining of palpitation, it
was found that roughly half were
normal and without any cardiovas
cular disease. Of the other half, a
third suffered from high blood
pressure, another third from thy
rotoxicosis (overactivity of the thy
roid gland) and the remaining
third of the condition known as
paroxysmal tachycardia. The last is
a condition in which the heart sud
denly begins to beat rapidly, main
tains its rapid rate for a given
period, then stops abruptly.
Among those who suffer palpi-'
tation without any organic cause,
the following appear to be com
mon contributory conditions:
Indigestion, particularly of the
gas-producing variety. This is com
monly observed in stout persons in
whom the symptom is often worse
in the evening and in bed at night.
Obesity and overweight. Debility
following illness, especially when
the latter is of an exhaustive kind.
Excessive intake of stimulants, such
as coffee, tea and alcohol. Tobacco
smoking. Anxiety, nervous excite
ment, fright and mental upset, es
plus collected as premiums in fat
years, Wallace expects, with the aid
of crop control agencies, to smooth
out the surplus-shortage cycle that
at times makes farming a gamble.
Incidentally, he estimates prem
iums will be arranged to prevent
inept farmers slipping in on a mar
ginal tract and collecting insur
ance benefit for crops they fail to
grow.

pecially in hyper-sensitive people.
In the non-organic variety of pal-!
pitation, other symptoms are also
frequently found. Weakness, faint
ness, dizziness, disturbed sleep,
pains in various parts of the body
and trembling, all point to the fact
that, like the palpitation, they arise
out of some underlying emotional
disturbance.
Withal, every case of palpitation
calls for a throuogh examination to
rule out the possibility of the exis
tence' of some organic heart dis
ease.
No Reduction Of
Debt Is Wanted
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.— UP) —
A belief that “the American peo
ple will not welcome a further
whittling of foreign obligations’’
was expressed today by Senator
Nye as he studied reports that
French officials were conkdering a
revival of war debt negotiations.
“European nations seem to be
able to spend freely on preparations
for another war," he ktid.
He disagreed with chairman Pitt
man of the senate foreign relations
committee and Senator Lewis, a
committee member, who predicted
an early settlement of the war
debts.
Nye added, however, that reopen
ing of' negotiations would be “a
promising sign” and that he hoped
payments eventually might be re
sumed.
The Senator announced he would
fight during the coming session of
Congress against Pittman’s sugges
tion that the present neutrality act
be extended "without major chang
es” after its expiration May 1.
