This do, and thou shalt live. —Luke 10:27, 28. * New York, Jan. I—l1 —I think I*ll start a movement for the building of more and better New York legends, folk superstitutions and mellow old tra- I ditions. The ones we have are gfet- | ting a little frayed and people don’t recount them breathlessly and more And the number of romantic person alities, like the man who actually owned a farm in the middle of Cen tral park and the woman willed the privilege of celebrating Robert Louis Stevenson’s birthday, are all too few. It increased my store of such facts the other day to hear about the old est twin in town. But news of her only percolated through the obituary columns. The oldest twinfi it devel oped, had died. She was Mrs. Jeanette Klein Lauch heimer and lacked just 26 days of being 100 years old. Her passing confronted the newswriters with a. knotty problem in clarity—because no sooner had they written that the old est twin had died, than they discov eredthatputtin git that way was not piecisely accurate. Her twin sister, a Mrs. Dannebaum, with whom she held annual birthday celebrations, si r vived. What to say? The oldest twin had passed on, yet her sister, who is naturally just as old, was still alive. Harassed head-writers finally found an out in the fact tht Mrs. Danne baum spends most of her time in At lantic City. Mrs. Lauchheimer was the oldest MANHATTAN twin. There is something curiously mov ing in the thought that both of these ladies came to America from Bavaria in a sailing ship which consumed 50 days in the crossing. And In the fact that both had refused national fame from a radio concern which wanted them to make speeches on their 100th birthday. They thought the radio idea a trifle vulgar. Mrs. Lauchheimer had one regret and one conviction. The regret was that she had to give up swimming at the age of eighty. The conviction was that a day in bed in her life—would he her last. And so it was . Such homely, small-townish tattle about folks here reassure me that the inhabitants of Manhattan are mortals after all. NO SPOOKS HERE Again, in the days of my cubhood, haunted houses used to be good for a couple of columns once a month. I haven’t (leard tell of a. haunted house in Manhattan in years, and peo ple here just don’t talk about this ex citing {topic. Indeed, before long there will be a story about the last spook and the last horse drinking a toast to the old days together in New York. But there is a sound reason for the flight of the phantoms from dingy old manses here. The reason is damage suits. A house may furnish a perfectly eerie and startling yarn about moving lights and thumping chains, hut the reporter who writes I it is going to make the house hard to lent —and trouble for his boss.

No prospect ever lay fairer before a national administration than the prospect which lies now before the Roosevelt administration —if times continue to improve. There has been a pick-up; no mis take about that. Just at the moment 'a slight recession is noticeable, but it will not matter —if it is only sea sonal. A few weeks ago politicians were predicting that the congressional sea son, just opening would be a turbu lent affair, marked not only by yowls from the ranks of G. O. P. regularity, but also by discontent on the part of progressive Republicanism, and like wise by plenty of insurgency among Democrats. All these prophecies, seemingly, are about to go entirely unfulfilled. The president manifestly is entirely too popular for even the most irreconcil able Hamiltonian lawmakers to risk fighting him—to say nothing of the others. Indications now are that the ses sion will bo short and very tame —if business revives normally after its customary midwinter term of inac tivity. SPRING REVIVAL It does not strain the imagination to surmise that there will be an early spring revival. And so, and if the revival lasts, an other forecast will be upset. That is to say, it has been forecast 1 that the administration will lose some i thing of its present liberal maorities in the senate and the house of rep resentatives at the November, 1934, congressional elections. I But not if business holds up dur- 1 ing the summer. The betting is not bad today that this will eventuate. If it does, the ad ministration's maorities in the Seven ty-fourth congress may exceed its Seventy-third congressional maorities Indeed there are conservative Repub licans (not to mention G. O. P. pro gressives and Democrats) who are : inclined to guess that such a rock bound Hamiltonian state as Pennsyl vania will choose a Democratic gov ernor and send Gifford Pinchot to the < senate. 1933 GOOD TEAR FOR U. N. C. TEAMS Won 62 and Tied Four Os 1933 Dual Contests; Ten. nis, Track Leaders Chapel Hill, Dec. 30. —Carolina var sity teams won 62 and tied four out of 93 dual contests during the year com ing to an end, a check-up of the rec ords reveals. The undefeated track and tennis teams set the pace. With the base ball team last spring they swept top honors in State and Conference. The netters also established first claom to a third consecutive national team title. The other teams also turned in good records, sweeping the econds in the State and Conference in the in which they did not win the cham pionship, and giving Carolina one of the two best all-sport records in both groups. Thus the football, cross country, basketball, wrestling, and golf teams finished second in the Big Five. The boxing, cross country and golf teams did likewise in the Conference, while the football team took third place. The coaches expect this record of achievement to serve as a challenge to the Tar Heel teams in 1934. The new sports year will be usher ed in with a basketball game with Clemson in the Tin Can here, Wed nesday night, January 3. The boxing and wrestling teams will open with home meets with V. P. I. and N. C. State, respectively, on i Saturday, January 13.

(Brumbley told authorities that on returning home he had discovered the back door locked, and believed that Mrs. Brumbley was at a neighbor’s sat on the back steps waiting for her. About half an hour later he decided to try to force the windows, and then discovered the front door opened. He said the family never used; this door. Lighting a lanters, he went upstairs to the room used by his wife and himself, and saw his wife’s body. Of ficers were summoned and began their investigation. All License Offices In State Open Over Holiday (Continued from Pu *e One.) i have at last waked up to the 4apt that the governor meant what he said : when he ordered the highway patrol to arrest those that did not have new licenses by January 1,” Harris said. “As a result most of these who have not obtained their new licenses are > leaving their cars in their garages or parked somewhere until they can get their new plates—which is the wise thing to do. There will be some of course, who will try to operate I' their cars with the old 1933 tags on them. But they are running a risk of getting a $lO fine slapped on them in addition to the cost of the new By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer New York, Jan. I.—“As an inflation measure the silver purchase will fall flat,” a Wall Street financial writer says. As for trade with China—well, that amounts to only three per cent of our total. And China is the only country on the silver standard. India is not on a silver monetary base. So says that writer (Carlton A. Shively.) Be that as it. may, what he says next is the nub of the wnole ques tion : “It must be remembered that China’s silver money is merely the medium used for foreign purchases. Her real purchasing power lies in her expots, and they aren’t silver. “China’s exports necessarily will be cut down, because she pays to pro duce them in a money that now is lifted to price (through President Roosevelt’s peg of the silver purchase price.) China’s selling prices will tend to rise, cutting down her exports, and hence reducing the quantity of goods she will buy from the United States." Economists who hold to the order of supply and demand sec no hope of permanent benefit, through even the mild inflationary measures. And of course tney see only suicide in the stronger forms of inflation. But a president faced with strong demands for inflation searches for a middle course. The president under stands mass psychology better than the maority of economists. The eco nomists may be more right than the president., but the president is more right than they if he can prevent, a tidal wave* by permitting a ‘minor flood in a land that has suffered three years of drought. SILVER COIN If the United States government does mint new silver coin, it probably will not go into circulation. The government wishes money would go into circulation. That is the trouble —the circulatory system of the world is out of gear. Only trade can pump money into the veins of business. Already there are 507,000,000 silver dollars lying idle in the United States treasury. licenses.” Harris is expecting the big rush now on at the main license office here and at all of the branch offi ces, to continue for several days yet. Gill Trying Out New Parole Idea (Continued from Page One.) require the county welfare officers to look into the past records of pri soners from their counties and make reports on these prisoners. For seve ral months now Commissioner Gill, with the cooperation of the State Board of Charities and Public Wel fare, has been making use of this phase of she new and broader parole system already authorized and has been getting these reports covering the case histories of prisoners, espe cially those who have applied for pa roles. The information obtained from these confidential reports made by County Superintendents of Public Welfare has proved invaluable in the handling of many cases. "As soon as a prisoner applies for a parole his home county is looked up and as much information as pos sible is obtained from the prison re cords,” Gill said, when asked about the new system. “The name of the prisoner is then sent to Mrs. W. T. Bost. head of the State Welfare De partment, with a request that she ob- Kingfish Foe “Wins” Safe ijj ll wmm ggSjaxalKggHP wffiß ’SsssSsSaßr ;.vSP Jared Y.

Tins : method does away with Ute nepee aity of ironing them- Another New Year’s Hangover! tained a report and case history from the welfare officer in the county where the prisoner was convicted: These reports are supposed to cover the genefai reputation and character of the prisoner and as much of his past history as can be obtained, so that we can tell whether he has been an habitual criminal and law break er, the type of family he comes from and other details, as well as any in formation we can get about the par ticular crime of which he has been convicted. “The county welfare officers have been given the finest kind of coope ration in making these investigations and getting the information we want and we have found that much of the information obtained in this manner is enabling us to get much better slants on the prisoners. The appli cations for parole are not passed up on until all the information possible has been obtained.” Later on it is planned to have the welfare officers make regular reports on all prisoners who have been pa roled and.who have.returned to their home counties to reside, Gill said. Every -effort is being made to giv just as much consideration to the pri soners who are not able to employ lawyears or who. do not have relatives to apply for paroles for them as well as to those who are able to bring formal applications for clemency, Gill said, pointing out that within the past six months 50 per cent of the peti tions heard were either brought to his attention by the prisoners them selves or by some member of their family. * j mm “We are trying to impress upon the prisoners that every one of them has a chance to be heard and acted upon, provided their prison records war rant it, Gill said. The cases of nine prisoners con demned to death were investigated and reviewed by Commissioner Gill this past year. Os these only three were executed, al the others being commuted. The (three prisoners whose cases were investigated and whose death sentences were allowed to stand, were those of Clay Fogle man, Rockingham county; Bryant Stone of Wilkes county and Johnnie Lee of Harnett, county. Those com muted were Sarah Black, Wilson county; . Homer Brown, Haywood county, Gus Langley, Buncombe coun ty; Luther B. McLamb, Johnston county; Ed Deaver, Columbus coun ty and Eugene Hines, Forsyth county. At the direction of the Governor, the Commissioner of Paroles has per sonally interviewed every prisoner condemned to death and has made a personal and exhaustive investigation into each case. He has talked to some prisoners two or three times before they have been executed or commuted and several months were spnt investigating some cases before action was finally taken. Most of the hearings in clemency cases a,re held in the office of the Commissioner of Paroles here, although occasionally hearings are held in other places for the convenience of witnesses. During this past year hearings were held in Asheville, JWfinston-Salem j and Wil mington in addition to the ones held here. ~ j Aside from the capital cases hand- | led by Commissioner Gill last year, • perhaps the most interesting were those involving Carey Durfey and Ed Hugh Lee, both of Raleigh andserv ingtermsfo rembezzlement and whose petitions for clemency were recently Furlong and P. Q. Moore of Wilming denied, and the petitions of John J. ton, convicted in an extortion plot, which were also denied.
