Tourists in the sense that this jjlioup of men and women arc visit ing every section of the Old NorHi Stato-*-tourists in the sense that Ujey too—are viewing the bcaitty and progress of the state. The group is a working section of North Carolinas advertising pro gram—a program that will enable them better to broadcast in talks, iij newspapers and in personal con tact the advantages that this great s^ate offer. ) North Carolina, long known among cur own folk as being the beauty spot of the country, is, at last, to be advertised north, east, sputh and west. ' And this group of men and wo men will do it! ' Welcome to Asheboro we say. If we are proud of North Carolina then too it is evident we are justly proud of the fastest growing com munity in this state. * Asheboro is that. , The group will hear Asheboro from the time the Chamber of Com merce meets them in Winston-Sa lem this morning until they leave the city proper just before lunch time.

Poor Gaston Means, North Carolina’s ace gift to the ranks of super “con” men, lies near death in federal prison! He refuses an operation which might save his life. Gaston was the “mystery man” in the Harding scandals. He is serving time for euchering Mrs. Evelyn Walsh McLean, of Washington, D. C., out of $100,000 in connection with moves to nab the guilty party in the kidnap murder of the Lindbergh baby. The Washington Merry-Go Rounders, Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen, in their column, recall: "...Means got his start falling out of upper berths, then suing the railroad company for damages. He was so successful at it that the insurance companies eventually hired him to detect this racket on the part of others.” He was once a sleuth for Uncle Sam, too. But the time came, as it generally does in such cases, when Gaston fefi—fell so hard that all his considerable talents and abilities couldn't get him up. That was when for undertaking to shake down Mrs. McLean he himself had to go down—down to Atlanta, to prison. What a man among men Means might have been had his talents and abilities been directed in other channels! —Greensboro Daily Record. Washington Day Booh Hy PRESTON GROVER IMIMI'IIIIIMMIIIIIMIMIMMMimilMMIIIf 4III|HIIIHI<IIMHI» Washington—Ask a competent navy officer if the United States navy theoretically could go over to the Orient and lick the Japanese navy and he will tell you: ‘‘No.’’ That is an interesting sidelight j on what the government’s practi-j cal minds are thinking about when 1 ! they talk of moral “suasion” in j preference to sanctions and the j like. The nut of the business is that'• if the navy ever should go 8,000 j miles across the Pacific to fight a.i war, it would have to outnumber | the enemy two to one. And by j terms of the old, now repudiated, i naval limitations treaty, the Unit-j ed States agreed not to build a navy twice as strong as Japan’s.| That was intended to make the Japanese feel safer. Thus the ratio was 5-5-3 or five : units of naval power for Great i Britain, five for the United States | and three for Japan. Neither the j British nor the United States navy I under that arrangement had | enough fighting power to upset ! Japan in its own waters. That was , the security Japan sought. The Present Lineup Actually the relationship of these j three powers is not vastly differ j ent now, even though the treaty ! has been repudiated by Japan and ! maintained only in a very hazy j form by the United States and Great Britain. But the British , building program will be very dif- ,, ferent—when and if completed— j and the two fancydress battleships ( ordered by the United States at j, $60,000,000 each probably will give I, the United States a greater theore- [, tical edge over Japan than it had J ^ before, although Japan is building |, also. i 1 Here is how they stack up now, t as computed by the navy depart- i merit: U.S. G.B. Japen ( Battleships .15 15 0 ) Aircraft Carriers .3 6 -1 Cruisers.26 53 32 ; Destroyers ......183 174 94 ( Submarines.78 51 In addition, the United States .is ^ building 2 new battleships, 3 air- ( craft ‘arriers, 11 cruisers, 61 de- , stroyer3 and 18 submarines. Great Britain is building 2 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 16 cruisers, 34 destroyers and 14 submarines. Japan is building 2 aircraft car riers, 4 cruisers, 18 destroyers and 7 submarines. British and United States sub marines and destroyers are mostly old; Japan’s we mostly new. All the battleships are old in years but repeatedly modernized. Far, Far Away The nearest naval base to Japan in which United States ships could be reconditioned and repair ed during a war is Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, some 6,000 mils from Tok yo. The Phillippine independence act gave the United States the right to establish a naval station there, but nothing has ever been done about it. The cost of a naval invasion of the Orient would be totaled in box car numbers. N«w You Cun Leave Potted Plant at Home Atlantic Ctiy, N. J.—LPL— There's a new gadget, devised by S. Herbert Smith, to water the pot ted geranium while you’re on va cation. Operated by the heat of the sun, it will squirt ten ounces of water into a flowerpot on sunny days. Smith says the plant won’t need water when there's no sun to dry it out. Smith’s gadget, consists of a me tal tank, a length of rubber tubing, and a tiny needle valve. The heat of the sin. expands the air in the top of the tank and fore ‘ of drops of water thru BEHIND THE SCENES^ IN WASHINGTON j BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Stiff Correspondent ■W/ASHINGTON — Whether the ™ Supreme Court’s prestige has suffered because of the court’s ac quisition of Hugo Black who now seems firmly planted in his new seat, presumably is a most impor tant question. Opponents of Mr. Roosevelt, nearly all of whom have vocifer ously protested Black's appearance as the newest justice, are insist ent that the Alabaman’s presence there has given the court a ter rible black eye and lowered public respect for the previously sancti fied processes of justice. Whatever the truth or error of this conception, it seems especially interesting to those here who re call that early in the year the New Dealers were frankly —although not for quotation—that they did hope to crack the Su preme Court’s prestige to a point where the people would lose faith in its infallibility and where par liamentary government, meaning Congress, would be supreme. So if you believe the opposition, it appears that the New Dealers won a victory there, although they certainly arc not boasting of it on the same basis. Many lawyers arc inclined to believe that, after the Black expose and resultant hue and cry, it may hereafter become perfectly good taste in polite society to talk about the personal backgrounds and theoretical prejudices of some I How’s Your HEALTH? Edited for the New Vork Acade my of Medicine By Iago Galdston, M. D. About Boils _ | Physicans seldom treat boils | most often they treat maltreated ! boils. For boils usually begin as pimpe-like formations and, after, all, who isn’t able to deal with a i pimple. So the “baby boil" has its head i I pin-pricked, is squeezed with! neither tenderness nor mercy anil is swabbed and soaked. When, j thanks to the maltreatment, the [ "pimple” has grown into a juicy, ripe, aching boil with a crop ol ^ secondary ones around it. expert; treatment is finally sought. A boil represents a local en-. counter between germ invaders ana the 1 odys defense forces, the white blood cells. The redness, swelling, heat and pain are the evidenets of an inflamation. And the inflammation is the body's way of reacting to an attack. The in vaders have been surrounded, they j are being swallowed and destroyed ! by the white blood cells, millions ; of whicn will sacrifice their cellular selves for the sake of the cellular commonwealth of the body. This war between the phago- i cytes (white blood cells) and the! germs, frequently give rise to pus | the mixed bodies of invaders and defenders. Maltreating the boil squeezing it or puncturing it pre maturely or unskilfully, breaks down the surrounding wall of de fense, which the body has formed about the process. Pressure forces bacteria and their products into the circulation. In a word, it harms rather than helps. Hence, rest or immobilization is the best possible treatment for a boil, especially in its early stages. Avoid all pressure on the affected area, al' friction and other forms of irritation or injury. If the boil involves a portion of the arm or leg, it usually helps to elevate it. Put the arm in a sling and rest the leg in bed or on a chair. Local applications may tend to help a little. Limit them to paint ing the surrounding skin with tinc ture of iodine, or to the application of hot boric ac'id dressings. Salves, irrigations and so forth are best used on the physician’s prescrip tion. One other point must be borne in mind. A boil may be merely a local incident, or may point to a eonsitutional disorder. Hence, a thorough medical examination is indicated, especially when one is afflicted often or with many boils at once, or when slight injuries re sult in boil formations. Chinese No Likee Los Angeles Progress Los Angeles <#*—Steel frame work of the clock tower of the new union railroad passenger terminal, rising 250 feet above the streets, is a grim remider to residents of Los Angeles’ Chinatown that in a very short time they will be forced to seek new homes. The Chinese district is being de molished to make way for progress —for what the Chamber of Com merce contends is one of the most important projects undertaken by Los Angeles in years. But to Len Gee Low, patriarchal Chinese, who sits in the doorway of his tea shop puffing meditatively upon a long-stemmed pipe, it is not so good. “Me dome Los Langles long time ago,” he says. ‘‘Stleet here velly quite—nobody blother Len Gee Low—all difflent now. Bang bang—bang, all day. Just like war in China. Plenty too much noise.” 3ih>. 01 US UUlCi HWUW ~ ’ word comes from the inside that there will be further administra tion propaganda efforts. Any attempts to disqualify Black from sitting in individual cases ara likely to be met with attacks on Justice Pierce Butler and Justice Owen J. Roberts. Butler was an outstanding railroad lawyer and among his clients was the Great Northern Railway. As a justice, however, he did not refrain from writing far-reaching opinions on public utility valuation standards, and last year he read an opinion which saved the Great Northern $10,000,000 in taxes which had been assessed by North Dakota. Roberts, Hughes and Van De venter, who concurred with Butler, had all represented railroads in private practice. On the other hand, it is not to be inferred that justices neces sarily have a bias in favor of for mer clients. They merely fail to “sit out" when former clients bring cases, as Justice Brandeis did at the time of the adverse minimum wage decision of 1923, because he himself had been active for mini mum wage legislation. But the court doesn’t like to be told that any justice isn’t quali fied to sit in a parricular case, and* that’s one reason for guessing that such tactics against Black vppt fcopj^aht, 1 “37, NBA Service, Inc.) I. Literary Guide post By JOHN SELBY ‘•How To lesc Friends And Alienate People,” by Irving Treas ier; (Stackpoie: $1.49). There came to this desk, the other day, a treatise by Prof. Irving Tressler entitled “How to Lose Friends and Alienate Peo ple.” This treatise was balm to out chafed soul, for it proved that at least one other person in the world thought about the famous Dale Carneigie book as we did. The Mr. Carneigie’s rehash of. elementary psychological “princi ples” fill a want one may guess, from the fact that by the time this is printed, the book will have sold 525,000 copies at least. We doubt that Mr. Tressler’s book will sell 25,00(1 even though the publisher has humorously marked it down from $2 to SI.49. This, too, proves something ‘about thg .American, mentality which you’ll have to put into words for yourself. We are (alas) too discouraged right now. Mr. Tresslers book is very fu’n ny. It must not, however, be read straight through. Patterns recur, and time out between chapters will keep these from seeming mo notonus. Mr. Tressler’s book is very fun jacket of his book funny. He gaur antees to “teach you how to an tagonize anyone, anywhere, any time without the aid of bad breath or dandruff.” He will decrease your influence and enable you to get twice as much accomplished as before.” He also can replace tit tat-toe at lectures, and replace pains in your neck with aches in your side. Or. as Thomas Lowell didn’t ; write in a testimonal on the same jacket: “What I think of Irving D. Tressler couldn’t be printed ip anything but Braille—then ft would be too hot to touch. . ..The best teach of how to make your self disliked is the author of this book, a man who is more unpopu lar than a clean story at a theo logical seminary. “He started out with . just a course in tap dancing and hair waving, but gradually the stu dents demanded to be taught the secret of unpopularity..... .He—” and so on. “How to Make a Poor First Impression” is especially funny, and those who recall Mr. Carnegie’s success at soothing the postal clerk will like it more than “just average.” BOY SCOUTS Troop 24 Troop 24, Boy Scouts of America met Friday night at 7:00 o’clock in the Baptist churoh hut. Assis tant Scoutmaster Ed Miller was in charge of the meeting. As a part of the program Mr. W. C. Craven told of some of his experiences in France during - the War and showed the scouts a num ber pictures of scenes in France. The principal subject of his • talk was the monastery of Mont St. Michel off the coast of France.

MANHATTAN ' By GGORGE TUCKER New York—An excellent time to witness miracles in New York is about dusk, for then the blind seem to reg'ur. their sight and the leg less walk away. They throw away their crutches and disappear into the first con venient crowd—and especially do they vamoose if a copper happens to stroll by. At that, they do a roc of good, for they evoke a lot of human pity and drag down an occasional coin from the sensitive or the unwary. It is difficult to tell those who are on the level and those who are merely dead beats....

The other day, showing a vis iting friend the town, we finally ended up at the l’olo Grounds for a game, and 1 pulled a boner in buying a program from a one-leg ged man. The programs cost only a nickel, but one should never pur chase them outside of the park. The oiu I bought was authentic, all right, or rather, it had been au thentic once upon a time. The trou ble with it, I learned a little later was that it was a year old. ' Our companion got a boot out of that. He nearly split his sides laughing. He would have had a real trrat if we had told him of another little incident, occurring not long ago. We subscribed to an outdoor magazine, paying cash ami receiving receipt No. M-122. Finally we wrote in to inquire why the first issue hadn’t been deliv ered. Shortly thereafter the letter came bock, proving the magazine to be non-existent.
