Of these some 633,000 are in the state of North Carolina. By this means a retirement income is assured these workers when they reach 65 after December 31, 1941, or a lump-sum payment in the event of death or the attainment of age 65 prior to that date. Such lump sums are now being paid. To assist in the preparation and filing of claims and to carry on the work of assigning account numbers, there have been established throu ghout the country over 200 field offices of the cocial security board of which seven are located in North Carolina, and it is contem plated that others may be requir ed. “Although from a humanitarian and sociological point of view, in terest centers in the relief afforded those in distress, it is probable that indirect benefits will be broad ly distributed. Thus it may rea sonable be expected that the bur den of supporting the indigent by private or local methods may be decreased, and in the case of in dustrial communities subject to factory shut downs, unemployment compensation payments will retain considerable purchasing power in the hands of the Unemployed. "In the short space of 2 years, the entire social security program has gotten well under way. Its benefits have already been brought to hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the country. While imperfection will no doubt be cor rected in the light of experience gained, its broad principles have become definitely established and will continue as an integral part of our American system.” CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION ANNOUNCED The United States Civil Service Comission has announced open competitive examinations for the following positions: Instructor of weavng, 2,000 a year, Indian Field Service (includ ing Alaska), Department of the Interior.

Paris Exposition Gives Models Blank Expression -_-_ Queer Slants By The Staff Now that the Eagles have a three day rest—this column has decided to take advantage of the lull and forget baseball for the time being. Let’s talk about something—irten and mice and church for instance. It just seems good to lay-off baseball, we have had our hands and ears full—thanks to linger’s broadcast at the gym. press wires and Rupert Trol Which reminds us of that double play and the other double ■ plays and McFadden’s hurling. When we think of Rupt—we naturally think of the Eagles. And Mrs. Eagle McFadden— dirn’t know Rob was pitching until the third inning. Bet re lief work slowed up a bit. Ev erybody! then commenced to call hur up. Will Bob get' a good steak dinner when he re turns—or will he get a good steak dinner? The carnival still goes on—got away from the Eagles for a rest. The little rain last night zjust cooled things off a hit. Wish Bob Penny would do something for that cold. Reminds us of Norris’ cold arm during that next-to-the last game. Same thing might do both some good. But we can’t be hot and cold forever. Not in this world anyway. oGt a surprise last night. Bought a couple of bottled soft drinks and wes soaked five cents, one nickeli a half a dime deposit on each bottle. No more there say we. According to. Ben Smith the boys have changed from that well known “Coke’* of N. C. to buttermilk. Alright for ball players but don’t sound ao good way-back here;. Bill has gone back to farming. Mrs. Bill told him not to come to lunch unless he decides t odo a lit tle gardening. Several men refus ed Bill’s offer to walk into the home first, as invited guests. Bill has got to finish his far ming before we help eat that corn. By the way, the Eagles didn’t show signs of corn on their feet in that base running the other day. And tomorrow they go to bat again. Just can’t figure how—cer tain hosiery mill employes can con tinue to turn out sox while the boys are putting on the dag in Wi chita. When we speak of sox it always reminds us of the White Sox—then we drift back to the Ea gles. Oh, hum—some rest. Will tell you something about base ball later. Its nice to have a rest. tyeoutaphuD Rich Builder Likes Living In Rail Car Pittsburg (AP)—George Vang, wealthy Pittsburgh contractor lives down by the railroad tract in sum mer—and likes it. His home is a one-time army hospital ear which he purchased in 1914 as his roving headquarters on construction jobs. Vang liked the seclusion of the railroad car so well that he decid ed to make it his summer home. The “house” luxuriously furnished, is flanked by a rocky hill on one side and a small lake on the other. Immediately following the re eitai tilt re will be an informal gathering for frien(Js of the Uni versity in the grove adjoining Page Auditorium. Mr. and Mrs. Hoay and Jfir. and Mrs. Breese will be present at this affair. By Alice Maxwell Paris (AP)—Tommorrow’s mod ernism is on view in the forms and the frocks that fill the Pavilion de L’elegance where top-noteh dress makers of the French capital are staging: their own big show, in the midst of the Exposition. The forms are made of plaster in bisque pink. They are elongated mannequins that striks unusual attitudes, some reclining, others standing with raised arms. They have no features just rough plaster faces. Coiffures, however, are coiled and ourled to the last plas ter hair. Nudism Enters , Only two or three manequins are alloted each exhibitor. All are cos tumed for evening. The reclining forms have wide skirted frocks spread over the floor like Gargantuans fans. The slim unright figures are wrapped around and around with sculptured draperies that are fin ished in scarf-1 ike ends that sweep the ground. Nudish, too, plays its part. Schiarpelli's plaster model wears a coverlet of flowers—and leaves her pink ffock, straw hat and red sandals on a plaster chair nearby. The bisque-pink limbs of Lan vin’s reclining mannequin are plainly visible through a petticoat. i less skirt of champagne-colored chiffon that is weighted with em broidery of gold and silver nails. One of Vionnet’s mannequins is dusted with gold from top to toe and is robed magnificently in a stiff white gown Queen Elizabeth would have been delighted to wear, The skirt, which stands out in Elizabethan style, is cut into an open pattern like lace. Its bodice is twisted and draped. The entire garment is fashioned of a heavy fabric washed over with thin white plaster flaked with gold. Three Elue Goddesses Worth’s three goddesses are spe cialists in blue. One wears a sculptured gown of blue crepe. An other is dressed in a white gown draped with a lovely shawn of blue transparent velvet. The third which holds a mass of blue flowers in her arms reclines in a dress of blue lace over chiffon, the wide skirt spread flat over the ground. ~ Aljx takes the palm for skirt width. Her dress of rainbow-color ed chiffon in fifty to sixty yards around thehem- Its layers and lay ers of different-colored flounces billow over the Expositionfloor. Big lacquer white plumes are mounted flat and stiff over whits mousseline in a glamorous gown designed by Patou. Glorfied Stripes Maggy Rouff treats her two fig gures to glorified stripes in three fabrics. Light blue, purple and gold spiral around one plaster mannequin while cerise, light blue and gold panel the other. In each the gold lame girdle extends one end over the head, like an Indian Sari, and drapes from there to the ground. Molyneux’s models are black tulle and silver lame, one full and the other a sheath. The sheath frock has a silver lame cape and a headress of three black para dise plumes. Paradise plumes are also used by Worth who introduces them in a bracelet of blue stones. Lelong has “twins”, both dressed in white organdie. Decollete bod ices are wrapped with pink satin ribbon that finishes nn two long sash ends. Chanel’s mannequin’s are ribbon minded, togr. One is dressed in pink tulle "garnished” with purple moire ribbon. Another wears a black tulle gown ribboned with green and black moire. Vivid Gaugin pink highlights Lucile Paray’s exhibits. One gold net model opens over a pink petti est, Another gown of flowered chiffon is draped and sashed with piak crepe.

The new justice-to-be and Mrs. Black are shown in the capitcl as friends offered congratulations. Portugal’s Action Against Czechs, Red Flag to Europ _ *_ e London, Aug. 20.—LP)—Portu-, gal’s one-sided severance of diplo matic relations with Czechoslovak-1 ia became a red flag today for the ■ suspicions of all Europe. Czechs, in Praha, their capital,! asked if Germany is working be- j hind the scenes to make their i strategic, hemmed-in country a fu-, ture Rhineland in a coming Strug- ‘ gle between the two great political, camps, Fascism and Communism. | Authoritarian Portugal blamed a third party—presumably Soviet to fail to fill an order for machine Russia—for influencing the Czechs guns, official reason for the breach. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy eympathized. Within 24 hours, however, other capitals of Europe had supplanted Portugal’s expressed motive for deeper causes—militant interests in the Spanish war and the often expressed theory that Germany is I preparing to attack Czechoslovakia. , Swamped With Orders Czechos lovakia authorities ex plained their armament industry! t had been unable to supply Portu- j gal with new Bren machine guns because it had been swamped with j Czechoslovakian and other prev- j iously-ph.ced orders. Then Praha’s suspicions turned to Germany’s and Portugal's friendship for Insurgent Generalissimo Francisco Franco in Spain. Bluntly, Praha questioned Lisbon motives for this unprecedented ac tion and sought to discover wheth er Germany inspired the move as a preluoe to pouncing on the Czechs.

Ski Champion Wins Air Laurels Baden, Germany (AP)—Christel Cranz, world ski-champion and German heroine of the last Winter Olympics, has passed her B-test as a glider-flyer. The customary greeting of a great deal of noise produced on a tin cannisters, gaso line cans and oil drums, with a lib eral addition of lusty voices was accorded to Christel. In addition she had a “victory flag” of gunny sacking, a bunch of rastily picked field flowers and a “B” artistically constructed of evergreen. Cop Guesses Wrong Alliance, Neb. (AP)—Patrolman L. E. Pilkington noticed a ladder leaning against a theatre building and scented a robbery. He remov ed the ladder, waiting patiently in the belief he had trapped burglars on the roof. Next day, J. E.
