SEAbOARD JOINS BIG PROCESSION
Nortbampton Town Aligns Itself With
Eastern Carolina Traoe Body
PURPOSE OF THE
MOTHER’S AID LAW
Kinston, July 2 —The “baby”
town of the Eastern Carolina
Chamber of Commerce, in point
of age is Seaboard in Northamp
ton county, according to an an
nouncement made Thursday at
headquarters of the organization
in Kinston.
“As a matter of fact the towns
are lining up with us so fast, we
can hardly tell which is the
youngest,” Secretary Bartlett
said when discussing the pro
gress of this sectional organiza
tion.
Seaboard joined the ranks this
week when a committee from the
Aboskie branch office, headed by
V. D. Strickland, made a visit
there, with E. L. Bell, manager
of the Ahoskie branch office. A
large delegation from Seaboard
attended the formal opening of
the Ahoskie office June 11 and
caught inspiration and a new
vision of the development of that
part of Northeastern North Car
olina,
Seaboard is one of the most
progressive small towns in the
section and is in one of the best
counties in the entire State.
Nortbampton county has the
distinction of owing no money
so the report goes. This is cer
tainly a comfortable feeling in
this day and time. It is
home county of Senator W.
S. Burgwyn, Those joining at
Seaboard are: Rev. D. P. Har
tie. W. D. Barbee, H. R. Harris
Dr. Carl P. Parker, Elmo Crock
er. Frank Culbreth, W.. G. Ed
wards, M. R. Stephenson, B. S
Stancell. There are others who
are going to unite a tittle later
Immediately following the or
ganization of a unit of the East
ern Carolina Chamber of Com
merce, plans were put on foot to
set up a local chamber of com
merce for Seaboard. Tho matter
was quickly perfected and a large
membership for Seaboard’s loca
was enrolled. Rev. D. P. Harris
was elected president, and W.
D. Barbee made secretary. The
Eastern Carolina chamber of
commerce has furnished the con
stitution and by-laws for the
local chamber and will give every
assistance in making the local
organization a great success.
Watch Seaboard grow, is the
slogan now.—News and Observer
The Correct Solution
Two women in a train argued
concerning the window and at
last one of them called the con
ductor.
“If this window is open,” she
declared, “I shall catch a cold
and will probably die.”
“If the window is shut,” the
other announced, “I shall suffo
cate.”
The two glared at each other.
The conductor was at a loss,
but he welcomed the words of a
man who sat near.
These were: “First open the
window. That will kill one. Next
shut it. That will kill the other
Then we will have peace.”
“What kind of fish has its eyes
set close together?”
“Dunno. I’ll bite. What kind
does?”
“A little fish, of course, you
sucker.”

The idea incorporated in the
various Mother’s Aid laws that
have been passed by forty-two
states in the past fourteen years
is that Motherhood, in its truest
sense, is of financial value to the
State. It seems strange that
through the years we have been
admonished to visit the widows
and the fatherless in their afflic
tion and to minister unto them—
and that our response has been
to take the children immediately
and put them in an institution
if space could be found. The
Mothers’ Aid laws are proof that
citizens have realized that to
break up a home of any sort is a
delicate social-surgical operation,
but to break up a home fcr
poverty alone is a crime.
To give a widow a definite sum
of money once a month to care
for her children is only the letter
of the law. The spirit takes in
the realization of the mother’s
and children’s lack of the father
and all that his character and
presence meant in the home.
The Mother’s Aid Fund cannot
supply this need, but the super
intendents of welfare can, thru
friendly visits and with the as
sistance of the county boards of
welfare, helo in every way pos
sible to make the family life nor
mal.
The Mother’s Aid law is not
perfect. Already several amend
ments are contemplated, but it
is a big step forward in child
welfare in North Carolina.
Whether it is succeeding in the
various counties administering it
depends upon the interest taken
in the work by the people of the
counties. Well administered, it
is capable of much good, poorly
administered, it is dangerous
At its best it is a wonderful,
constructive agency, capable of
taking its place with the best of
the forces for conserving the
childhood of the State.—Emeth
Tuttle, From the Handbook on
Mbther’s Aid in North Carolina.
Hints For Hot Hogs
A hog will find shade in hot
weather if he can, but if the
shady place he finds is also hot
he does not seem to realize it,
and will stay there and die from
overheating. For this reason it
is best to close any buildings that
are not cool, forcing the hogs to
get shade elsewhere. The nat
ural shade from trees is prefer
able to any other. If trees are
not available, a good artificial
shade should be made by setting
posts and building a cheap frame
work about 4 feet from the
ground, covering it with brush,
lay, or straw. A shade of this
find is better than one made of
loards or sheet iron. If dust
accumulates the covering should
le made wet by watering with a
lose or bucket. This will serve
the double nurpose of cooling the
air and settling the dust.—U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
Test for Turpentine.
To test turpentine, place a drop or
two on a piece of wlilte paper. If
pure, no trace or stain will be leQ.

'T'UEUE is no good without a corre

having to pay for it. someliow.
This Is true of most things in life,
women’s fastiions Included. F’or years
women loaded themselves witli
clotlies. Skirts, bands, petticoats, un
derwear were all tight, lieavy and
Immiiering. Then came tlie present-
day fashions. Girls atid women of the
pre.sent era rejoice in loose, comfort
able dresses wliich leave ttieir bodies

'only give them greater freedntn Itiit
give them free air and plenty of sun
shine on their skin. ^
All to the good. No question about
that, only, as always, the price must
be paid. For now comes the Ameri
can Journal of Public Health, our
leading liealth autliority, with this
tale of woe.
A chronic disease of the skin has
appeared in certain parts of Europe
and several cases have been shown
before the Royal Society of Medicine
In England. It Is In the form of a
reddening and thickening of the skin
on the legs of young girls and women.
The skin is red at first, later on blue-
Ish, thickened and swolien. There is
a sense of coid and pressure. Both
legs are affected, as a rule, and it Is
most common between the ages of
fourteen and twenty. It is most fre
quent and troublesome in cold weath
er. The small blood vessels in the
skin seem to be paralyzed. The cause
Is thought to be due to lack of pro
tection of the skin, due to the short
skirts and thin silk stockings now so
universally worn. While this is not
positively proven, it Is certain that
this particular condition has only been
observed since short dresses and thin
silk stockings became popular.
Fortunately, the remedy is simple.
The wool and the silk and wool sport
stockings now so popular, if worn in
cold weather and if of sufficient thick
ness to protect the skin, will effective
ly prevent the injurious effect of the
Cxid air on the skin.
