WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1934 BIBLE THOUGHT THE KING'S HIGHWAY "AikI « highway shall &e there, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pas* over it . . . BUT THE REDEEMED SHALL WALK THERE." (Isa. 35:8,9). * * * * "My Father, God. I pray that I may walk the way of Life with a firm and confident step. Take the feebleness oat of my knees and uncertainty out of my feet. Let me march as a soldier on the King's highway. and let my steps be taken to the music off Thy grace. Amen." ONE-TENTH Of ONE CENT For One-Tenth of One Cent for each subscriber of The Titnes-Xews any local business can send a daily messag-e to the thousands of people in this trade territory who are regular readers of this news paper—can send that daily message in space large enough to attract attention and get a reading. This- fact completely knocks out the al leged argument about the high cost of ad vertising space, which is offered as an ex cuse for not advertising by some business men. Would you pay one-tenth of ofte cent each to send a vital message about your business to a majority of the people of Hendersonville and this town's trade terri tory ? If the message was mailed ensealed it would cost 1 1-2 cents for a postage stamp. >n the cost of the enclosed ;e and the envelope. The ich person addressed would Ff^Whount to several cents. Then the chances for the message gel & reading if delivered in that manner would be only a fraction of its chance to get a reading in The Times-News. People read this newspaper. Most of the unsealeu bail is never read but goes into the waste basket or the fire. If message was mailed in a sealed Envelope the postage would be three cents; and that would be THIRTY times the cost jof reaching the person addressed by using £n advertisement in The Times-News. The tost of the printed message and envelope probably would average from 100 to 500 times the cost of the advertisement; ami «tfie effectiveness of the direct-mail appeai, "iruler any circumstances, probably would .not be as great as the influence of news tpaper advertising. 1 j Remember, Mr. Business Man, The Times-News is here presenting figures fori Maily advertising—not a large advertise Sent, but one of sufficient size to contain » effective story or message about one's fcjusiness. . With a daily appropriation of one-tenth let one cent for each subscriber of The .Hfimeg - News the monthly sum would, 'amount to sufficient to enable the ad-1 jvfcrtiser to place an impressive display in tbis paper two or three times a week. That would be worth doing—and that or the smaller daily Ad. would be the best fyisiness promotion investment any local business man could make, for the very simple reason that The Times-News is the )>iest, most effective, and lowest-cost ad vertising medium available for Henderson yilie business men. ] The people of the town and county— including some of the people of adjoining counties—who compose the body of citi zens having by far the greater part of the buying power in Hendersonviite's trade territory, can be reached with a daily business message in The Times-News at a cost of ONE-TENTH OF ONE CENT for each subscriber to this newspaper. 1 That is certainly a golden (or sih'er, if you prefer it) opportunity for local busi ness men—an opportunity to expand tha business of this town and to buiki up its trade and to get a long start on the recov ery road in this year of 1934. j Tie a dog to a cat and they tight; so with twedding ties. '•iiVi I NEWSPAPERS' OPINION | o 0 REVISING THE CODES General Johnson's statement yesterday on the workings of NRA was hardly calculated to encoux age that freedom of criticism which he has invited but it is plain, nevertheless, that significant changos in the operation of the codes are in the offing. When the NRA program was projected and th 3 movement to organize industry under government supedvision was launched the belief was enter tained that once the codes were adopted there would fellow a kind of self-government on the part I of the various industries. This has not worked j out. In some directions good results have been achieved. In other instances a condition of rather dangerous stalemate has been reached. Xo proved method of extending control over certain activi ties has yet been evolved. The confusion which still exists in the cleaning and dyeing field in spite of the code is a case in point. The effort of the XRA is to bring all business to a pattern and the fact that conditions vary in different sections and in different communities makes it no easy task to fit the country as a whole to the pattern as Washington designs it. There is powerful support for the code idea, there has been little open opposition to the program. The diffi culty has been to make the thing work acceptably everywhere. Where the XRA means increased em ployment and larger payrolls it has been applaud ed. Where it means larger earnings for industrial concerns and business establishments it has been warmly welcomed. The buying public has not been eager in its support of the resulting rise in price.?, however, and those businesses which have' had their costs increased without a betterment in their earn-1 ings have occupied an attitude of at least passive j resistance.— \sheville Citizen. TWO CORPORALS In .1804 Napoleon the First determined to be emperor of France. He called for a vote of the people and more than 300,000 votes were cast in his favor against less than 3.000 m opposition. He invited Pope Pius VII to come to Paris to per form the coronation ceremony and the pope came, i Impatient of the delay in getting the crown upon his head, Napoleon snatched it from the pontiff's hands and crowned himself. This was the general known to his soldiers as "The Little Corporal," who had come from Corsica this year after it became a French possession to 1 be educated at a French military school and to be i scoffed at by his fellow students. It was he who j saved Toulon for the Republicans and who, with his artillery, put down the mobs in the streets of Paris, who took his armies across the Alps ani crushed Austrian and Italian power, who won at Austerlitz and Jena, who carved the map of Eu rope to suit his ambition, who seate.-l his brothers ; and favorites on thrones and who, 11 years aftir his coronation, was defeated at Waterloo and died J in 1820 on the Island of St. Helena, an exile from j France. We read in the dispatches that Adolph Hitler.' corpora' in the Austrian a'my during the Worid i war, now chancellor of Germany, last Sunday be- , came practically emperor of that nation when more \ than one million Nazis, all men in authority, swore ' personal ooedience to him. In Germany, Hitler is as strong as Napoleon was j in France. Ontside the boundaries of his adopted 1 country he has not yet gained that power. Does he hope to gain it? So far as 65,000,000 persons in Germany are concerned he can make the effort to increase the nation's territory. Already he ha? j his eye on the 32.369 square miles of Austria with her 7.000,000 people and unless other nations in- i terfere Austria will be added to Germany. Two interesting personages—Napoleon and Hit ler. Both gained the power of emperor in foreign lands. Both made their way up the ladder until they demanded supreme honors. Napoleon held hij for little more than ten years when allied natiors crushed him at Waterloo. And Blucher, with his : German army, turned the trick. Hitler has just embarked upon his imperial ca-1 reer. Will it last as long as that of Napoleon and how will it end?—Spartanburg Herald. DIFFERING ON THE CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT President Roosevelt's son, James, says openly in a public address tha; he is opposed to the federal child labor amendment, although his father favojs it. Incidentally, Massachusetts, in which young Roosevelt made his remarks, seems to have about decided to sidetrack the amendment. The president dislikes the clause in the news paper code just adopted that permit-: boys under 16 year? old to sell newspapers out of school hours. We confess that we are unable to join in such tender regard for 15 year old boys as to forbid their earning some honest money that way. We don't see that moderate work is bad for a 15 year-old boy. The proposal to allow congress to say ho'm the boys and girls under 16 years old all over the country shall spend their time concen trates too much of the proper authority of par ents and of local governments better acquainted 1 than Washington can be with local conditions m ' the federal government.—Newberry (S. C.) Ob- ' server. GIVE ROAbS TO THE LAWLESS? "At the rate we are going in North Carolina." writes J. F. Hurley in the Salisbury Post, "it will be only a question of time until a great many well behaved men and women, drivers for years with out a criticism, shall feel it necessary to get off : the highways that they paid to build and allow th3 incompetent, the menacing, the drinking driver to have the road at will." Mf. Hurley was championing the cause of a driv ers* license system for his state, which has none now. > North Carolina ought to have it and it should j go a step beyond South Carolina in its provisions when it does. No driver's license should be issued to any per son who has not demonstrated by actual test his ability to drive and whose record and reputation for driving and sober driving isn't good. South Carolina's plan, enforced by the state | h^way patrol, has saved numbers of lives, th's newspaper is convinced, and a stricter plan would •. save Greenville (S. C.) Piedmont. * T V JUST A MAN WHO CAN TAKE IT « OKAV— ,t~ 366MS A F6W WEEKS EA^LV FOR- THAT SOf2T OF THINC EXERCISING FOR HEALTH By W1CKES WAMBOLDT Health advocates lay much] stress on the need of physical exercise. Phvsicial exercise is a bipr sub ject. It has many ramifications! and many applications. Probably as man v person? Wamboldt nave oeen narm ed by physical exercise as have been helped by it. j Strenuous phy sical exercise is 1 more likely tc : be injurious than I beneficial. )< An athle'.e or. • a man accustcm- i ed to heavy mu* > cular ac ti v i t j ' can usually env i plov vigorous ex> < ercise ana Keep u um , harmful effects to a green u!d .< ape. In fact, the athlet-e t^e man who ha? given himself ' ox- ] ;eptionai muscular development 1 cannot commonly discontinue vig- ( jious exercise without going to deteriorating fat. 1 But the ordinary person should 1 not go in for strenuous exercise 1 at all and certainly nor after he 1 < is thirty-five or forty. '1 Many a man unaccustomed to ^ heavy physical effort, has killed1' or incapacitated "himself by some 11 unusual muscular exertion. My ': own father, enjoying good health .: at the age of sixty-four, assi«t$dj some workmen to lift a heavy! window frame into place in a, home he was having built am. 1 thus immediately brought on a { heart trouble from which he suf-j fered for the rest of his life and! which ultimately caused his death. It is sheer nonseYise for a ~.:an living a sedentary life to take a ten or twenty mile mountain j climbing hike at tlie week ?nd.' he may survive the ordeal, but j he is likely to come through sore ; and stiff and the worse for it. • It is not infrequent that a per-' son will come back from his vacation the worse for it because of ever exertion Some health authorities declare that walking is an exercise of loubtful value, except a> it taKos )ne into the fresh air. The walk ng muscules are used so much mvway in the course of the daily duties that as a ruie they .jet all the exreise they need. Physical culture experts have :old me that to exercise to the point of fatigue is not advis able, that an overtaxed muscle s a harmed muscle, and that to obtain the best beneficial results he muscles should be exercise ! o the point of exrilaration, ar.cl lot beyond. Of course that rule nav not apply to the man who is level oping himself to become a vrestler or a boxer, but the iverage man has no need of any ;uch physical development. It vould in fact be harmful to him, inless he would make a business >f continuing to take the amount >f exercise that he had used in ecuring his unusual muscularity. ,Vher> extreme muscular growth s not kept at par, it is apt to1 >ecome a menace to the health >f fhe one possessing it. The exercises most beneficial o the average person are the wisting, stretching exercises vhich not only bring all the mus ic- of the body into play but vhich shake up and stimulate the ita! organs. Tomorrow I shall >ut!ine in my column a series of wisting. stretching e x e r ci s e s "uinished me by a prominent nechanotherapist.

BASKERBILL Tin; 'I'inif.s-N'iws Htireni I 'Sir Walter Hotel RALEIGH. Feb. 28.—Two Bap tist ministers here—Dr. E. Mc Neil I'oteat and Dr. J. Powel Tucker—have set the city some what by the oars by proclaiming from their pulpits Sunday lha< Raleigh is ruled by liquor anc that speakeasies and liquoi • joints" exist within one or twe '•locks of four of the city's down town churches. They also have /»vrrys«ef' surprise and indigna t;on at the manner in which the iav/ enforcement officers hav< apparently disregarded the '"man date of the people'' against the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment la:-t November.

CAR TAGS Editor The Times-News Dear sir: The price of state auto tag? is entirely too high and in many cases prohibitive. Hundreds of ears are being: operated today in North Caroiina that would not sell for anything like the tagj , price. Something radically wrong here. If other states can do bet ter why not North Carolina? -Tag prices should be accord ing to weight and age of car, the ; 1 present rate being about sixty' cents per hundred is at least [double what it should be. Aj ! thirty cents per hundred rate ■ [rhould be for new cars only and • I then reduce the rate twenty-five ; I per cent annually until the price is lowered to £2.00 and that be the tag price per year as Ion?: j as the car is in use. A law of j this kind would be a wonderful 1 relief to almost an army of peo-! , pie and at the same time the, state would receive as much money as at present. Think of the cars standing today without tags. It is only a matter of dis tributing a certain tax over a grerter number of people. Something must be done and it is high time we are thinking a'x>ut who will represent us in I the legislature of 1935. Respectfully, A. E. HUDGINS. | I P5:»t Cave, N.

Another booties-1 ger, recently banished from the state by Superior Court Judge Henry Grady, admitted that he has been operations eleven lii| | uor "stores" in the city. But all this has been known [for a long time. The police have I arrested some of these bootleg gers as many as 21 times, some of them 15 times. They know where most of these "joints" are ]ocatc4. Hut the trouble is find ing anv liquor in them when they i are raided, since the bootlegger/: have a highly perfected "tip-off*' system, with watchers stationed at various points who give cer tain signals, so that when a place is raided, liquor is hardly ever j found in the possession of any one or on the premises. Arrests cannot be made without the evi dence and it is almost impossible j for the police to find anyone who will volunteer to swear that he bought any liquor from such and-such a man at such-and-such a place. Persons who have done this will te!l their frinds. and these friends sometimes teli their ministers what their friends have told the in. So the police are plainlv up against it. Chief of Police Clarence Par hour yesterday talked with Dr. Poteat and asked him to give any information he might have. Dr. Poteat told Chief Barbour that all he knew was what Dr. Tuck er had toid him. The chief said ■ he had not been able as yet to eet any information from Dr. j Tucker.
