Tabu, Lonely Buffalo, Grieving For Male, Dies at Fair Ground Tabu, 15 year old Buffalo, prop erty of the Circle F Ranch which is staging a rodeo at the fair grounds under auspices of the American Legion, died of grief and loneliness last night. Tabu, purchased by the ranch owners from Jack King at Rocky Mount two weeks ago, showed I signs of illness about ten days ago and all that Starke Lee, veteran showman, could do to cheer up the grieving animal failed and Tabu just tossed in restless sleep until after midnight—when he started that journey to the Happy Hunt ing grounds for the good buffalo, to meet his mate who died just two years ago yesterday morning. Since Circle Bar F ranch has owned Tabu he has been a great attraction not only to youngsters but to adults as well. He has as well. He has been decidedly oftimes his docile manner, believ ed by spectaotors one of content ment, has accorded to Mr. Lee, as sociated with buffalo and another animals of the plains all his life, has been one of steadily growing sorry and longing. Longing for! Baldwin, British j Premier, Resigns; ; Defeated Edward Led successful Hattie to Keep Wallis Warfield Off Empire’s Throne. Knighted By King ! _ Chamberlain, New Head of Government; No Title For American. London.—On the eve of his suc cessful coupe to prevent Wallis Warfield Simpson from using a Royal title, King-maker Stanley Baldwin stepped from the British Premiership into private life yes terday. He was succeeded by Ar thur Neville Chamberlain, former chancelloi of the Exchequer. Baldwin announced he will retire to his private farm and devote the rest of his life to raising pigs. His retirement came at the same time that King George VI announ ced publication of an order forbid ding the future dutehess to use the royal title after her marriage June 3 to the Duke of Windsor. The 69-year-old “Honest Stan’’ who kept Mrs. Warfield from be coming queen by marriage to Ed ward VJ1J in the battle over con stitutional rights of a Monarch last December, also prevented the Am erican born divorcee from becom ing “Her Royal Highness” when she marries Edward in France.

I King George in accepting Bald win’s resignation conferred upon ! him the highest distinction with ' in the gift of the Crown—a Knighthood of the Garter — and ! granted him an earldom.

State Laboratory To Be Constructed! i Raleigh, May 29.—Dr. Carl V. j Reynolds, state health officer, said i today work on a new state hygiene] laboratory would start in the near future and be ready for occupancy within 12 months. Mrs. Moring IH, Mrs. W. H. Moring, one of Ashe boro’s most beloved women, is quite ill at her home on Fayetteville street. Mrs. Moring’s condition is considered as rather grave while she spent a bit more comfortable day Saturday. the western plains where he was born—longing for his mate, it seems that buffalo mate but once, and longing for those long stafry nights with no fenced in pastures and no long overnight trips in ani mal vans. Tabu was born at Marlond, Ok lahoma, in 1926 in the breeding farms of the 101 Wild West show. His dam, shortly before his birth, was brought into the corral from the plains. It seems, Mr. Lee said, that this little fellow, could^ never just get use to living in cap tivity—at times as KB’ grew older he sought opportunities of escape and at other times just went into “fits” of grieving and longing. He never could adjust himself to trav el, in animal vans, from show place to show place. 101 Ranch decided in 1930 to give Tabu a change and sold him to the Jack King shows. There as a five-year-old he found his mate and they lived happily until she died in 1935. From then on it was a lonesome life for Tabu. He would not associate with others cf his breed, he loathed all other New Air Base At Elizabeth City $1,000,000 Station For East Coast; Opens in ’38. Elizabeth City yesterday landed the $1,000,000 coast guard air base for which Nor folk, Baltimore and other sea ports between New Ykrk and Charleston have been striv ing. The base will serve the en tire Atlantic coast between New York and Charleston. Con struction is not expected to begin before July 1, 1938. Location of the base is con sidered a tribute to Lindsay C. Warren, who, as a member of Congress, has been untiring in his efforts to secure the loca tion of the base in his own state. For the past year, Mr. War ren, who is chairman of the sub-committee on coast guard, lighthouses and coast geodetic survey, has been urging coast guard headquarters to estab lish a base in the first Con gressional district. News Flashes; -from Everywhere Vets Affected Washington. — Veterans admin-1 istration officials said about 22,-1 000 veterans were affected by the war risk term insurance extension bill when President Roosevelt ve toed yesterday. Air Raid Valencia, Spain.—Insurgent Gen era!

I Strike Fight Chicago.—A force of club-swing ing policemen repulsed a long file of marching demonstrators laftl night in a hand-to-hand fight n«tr the South Chicago plant of the Re public Steel corporation/ Italy Accused Geneva.—The Spanish govern ment yesterday published a “White Book" directly accusing Italy of prolonging the war in Spain and charging her with the “most scan dalous violation” of international principles in Europe since the World War. Baby Chick With Three Good Legs An interesting addition in the barnyard family of T. F. Foster of Asheboro Star Route, is four days old today. This is a baby chick en of mixed breed that boasts a spare leg. With two perfect legs in the usual place, a third has grown in the place of the usual tail-feathers—giving a real spare tire effect. The freak baby was taken by the Fosters into the kitchen where he is quite happy in a box behind the stove. When petted, he responds with a strong cheep-cheep as do other chicks when the mother hen | hover's them. The baby was tak en away from the hen for fear she would injure the extra leg. He is eating a soft warm mixture of bran-mash and enjoying life, thank you! manner of cattle. Two years ago' Mr. King sold him to Circle Bar and then Starke King who has been associated with shows since 1902 when he started with Buck skin Bill, took over the care of Tabu. He figured at first that he ■ could cure him. Gave him all sorts of attention, stayed with him at night, fed him special foods but still the long-away look in Tabu’s eye stayed on. It stayed on until last night. In the full light of that great Caro lina moon that shined so brightly over the fair grounds, Tabu found a place to rest, first he bowed his front legs, the knees gave way— he rolled gently over, gazed long ingly, mayhap he saw the plains where his mother and father roam ed free—mayhap he saw someth ing else. But he just went gently on the long, long trek for all good buffalo. In the early morning the near by folk came onto the fair grounds, folk who loved animals and together with Starke Lee they found a place for him. Roosevelt Claims - Wealthy Avoided Income Tax Laws Doughton Contends Dodgers Cause Unbalanced Tilt of Federal Budget. Start Court Action Suggest Legislation This Year to Plug All Loop Holes in Statute. Washington. — Alleging the Treasury has uncovered glaring cases of tax evasion by wealtny individuals, President Roosevelt yesterday called for special legis lation to tighten federal revenue structure. The President stated investiga tions showed tax evasions and avoidances would run into millions of dollars leaving no question that legislation at this session of Con gress would be necessary to plug loop-holes. According to statements of treasury officials, arrangements have been made to bring civil and criminal actions against evaders. ' Chairman Doughton, North Car olina, of the House Ways and Means committee, expressed the view evasions and avoidances By wealthy individuals were responsi ble for failure of income tax col lections to level up with revenue. According to Doughton if weal thy persons had “paid all the tax es the law intended to impose, I believe we would have received all or more than was estimated.” Scores of suits probably will be instituted, officials said, and fraud proceedings will be recommended to the Justice department wher ever circumstances justify. The President, basing his tax evasion talk upon findings in a special Treasury survey, said de cision on prosecutions rests with government attorneys. The Treasury survey was started after March income tax collections fell 17 per cent below estimates, to $700,000,000. The inquiry thus far has center ed on tax returns of individuals, because many corporations asked extension of the filing deadline.

Was Riding: For Fall Adjustments Scheduled In Allotment to PWA; To Earmark Funds. Washington.—The sudden return of Sam Rayburn to the House Thursday halted what was believ ed to be runaway House of Rep resentatives over the' pending re lief bill, The majority leader halted the revolt dead in its track and for the time being at least the administration forces have execut ed the great eastern game of “face saving.” By Tuesday when the final vote [ is to be taken the administration forces will probably have the sit uation well in hand, with adjust ments in prospect for the P. W. A. group but probably not for the highway and flood control groups. The administration was riding for a fall up to the time that Ray burn returned and aided by Speak er Pro-tem Lindsay C. Warren of North Carolina, one of the most ac tive back stage figures, regained the leadership for the duly consti tuted leaders. Mr. Warren was also a benefic iary of what happened. Had the runaway not been stemmed, it would probably have been remem bered that it occurred during the absence of Speaker W. B. Bank head and during the regime of his North Carolina substitute. Mr. Warren had planned to take the floor himself in an appeal on the merits of the earmarking am endments, which he will probably make later, but more dramatic tac tics were necessary when the lead ership not only lost control of amendments but was unable to control procedure. Shortly before Mr. Rayburn made his appeal for a vote of con fidence, which was so successful that he was able to suspend fur ther proceedings on the bill until next Tuesday by a vote of 167 to 85, the House had limited debate over the protest of Representative Clifton A. Woodrum of Virginia, who was in charge of the bill, by a vote of 115 to 55. Earlier in the day, Mr. Warren, Mr. Rayburn and Mr. Woodrum had decided that while there had been considerable administration support when the earmarking amendments were adopted, that prudence was still the better pait of valor; and that it would "oe advisable to carry over the final vote until Tuesday, as Monday is a holiday. According to Godey’s Lady’s Book, of 1866, under the heading “To Ice a Cake,” cake frosting would go on more smoothly if ap plied with a feather. Mrs. G. Ed.

Mrs. York steered out to pass the child but the little girl became frightened and ran directly in front of .the machine. Mrs. York delib erately sent her car hurtling into the high embankment where it | turned over pinning her and her ssiter-in-law, Mrs. W. C. York, in the wreckage. The car was al most demolished.
