C. B. Sturgcs, designated as general chairman of the committee on by Henry L. Doherty, national chairman, presided at the meeting. Committees to look after specific phases of the arrangements were named, and another meeting was set for next Monday evening in the Perry library to hear reports from these groups. The balls are being held all over the country for the purpose of realizing funds to be turned over to President Roosevelt for the endow ment for the Warm Springs Founda tion for the treatment of infantile paralysis patients. The President and many noted radio and motion picture stars, and other prominent leaders of the nation, are to appear on a radio broadcast the night of the dance, and a part of the arrangements for the ball will be the installation of a radio on which to receive that broadcast. Mr. Sturges reported on progress he had made so far, and was himself made chairman of the committee to provide music for the evening. The ticket committee is headed by Mrs. H. T. Morris, who was also made treasurer of the general committee, and as assigned the Junior Woman’s Famous Orchestra Will Play Here Gene Kammarees and his Cali fornians, a famous orchestra now touring the south, playing at the mid-winter dances in the leading southern colleges, has volunteered to donate its services to the music committee of the President's Ball to be presented here on Tuesday, January 30, it was learned here late today by wire from the orch estra. Full details were not learned. Undergoing Treatment. Mrs. W. D. King, of Atlanta, Ga., and Mrs. H. A.

Mrs. Pearce is well known here, having lived here practically her en tire life. Mr. Pearce is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Pearce, of Raleigh. The couple are making their home at 414 Carolina avenue. Dark Horse Selec tions Are Likely (Continued irom Page One.) that they so far are Inclined to reject the posits, but that Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus is trying to persuade them to serve on the grounds that it is their patriotic duty to the State. Governor Ehringhaus continued to decline to discuss the appointments, other than to say that he still was giving careful thought to them and that he was still getting many letters find telegrams endorsing different ones. He would give no indication as to those who have been suggested or as to who he has under considera tion. It is generally agreed here, how ever, that none of those so far men tioned in connection with these two appointments are likely to be offered them. Those in close touch with de velopments are now convinced that John Sprunt Hill, of Durham, at first believed almost sure to land one of the appointments, is now out of thb running. Just why no one here knows although it is known that there was a storm of protest against Hill from various sources when it became known that his name was under con sideration. It is also Believed that both James S. Massenburg, of Tryon. ana Thomas Turner, Jr., of High Point, are no longer likely to be offered one of the posts. Turner Is understood to Black-Draught For Gat After Meals "About five years ago, I suffered at my stomach quite a good deal, writes Mr. M. H. Venable, of Persia, Tenrt. "I would smother, have a lot of gas, and bloat. A friend asked me why I didn’t take Black- Draught. I took little doses after meals and pay stomach trouble was over and has not come back. Now I only take a dose every once In awhile.” Undergoing Treatment. HENiJEKSON, ffo C.) DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1934 SOCIETY NEWS i Club to assist in disposing of the tickets. A list of patronessess anti debutan tes will be made up by a committee composed of Mrs. E. M. Rollins, Mrs. E. A. Lutta and Mrs. J. F. Mills. iC. F. Tankcrsley, Jr., was made chairman of a committee to arrange for the hall, and the committee on decorations was named to consist of Mis. W. B. Parham, Mrs. K. L. Bux ton, Mrs. G. W. Knott, Mrs. T. Up church and Mrs. J. T. Cheatham. Sam Alford was made chairman of the advertising committee, and the publicity committee was named to consist of Henry A. Dennis and Robert M. Falkner. J. R. Steveixson was named chairman of the commit tee to provide for radio reception of the President’s address and other radio features. An admission charge of $1.50 was fixed for every couple that will dance, and spectators will be admitted for 75 cents each. J. B. Gee was made chairman of the ticket collection committee, and Miss Maxine Taylor, of the high school faculty, was designated as chairman of a group of high school pupils who will ,be in charge of the sale of refreshments. The indications now are for the use of one of the tobacco warehouses in the city as the scene of the ball, bu much will depend, it was said, oi the condition of the weather the night of January 30. have virtually removed himsoif from consideration by endorsing W. Ncy Evans, also of High Point, for one of the posts. But indications here today ai'e that, despite some veiy sti’ong endorsements, Evans does not seem to be in line for one of these appoint ments. It also appears that neither Dean M. T. Van Kecke, of the Uni versity of North Carolina, law school nor Professor Leslie Craven, of the Duke University law school, are likely to be offered the posts, although at one time their names were prominent ly mentioned. But while both are ad mitted to have the necessary legal knowledge and background, the fact that Craven is a professor in Duke University, which is supported in large degree by Duke Power Company money, seems to'have disqualified hin. for further consideration, while some objections were also raised against the appointment of Van Hccke, laxge ly because his knowledge of utili ties was believed to be too academic. It is known that the name of Jonathan Daniels, now acting editor of the Raleigh News and OfeMrver, while his father, Josephus Daniels is in Mexico City as United States am bassador to Mexico, has been suggest ed to Governor Ehringhaus for one of the posts, largely because of Ithe great interest he has taken editorial ly in the prospective make-up of the make-up of the commission. Some think Governor Ehringhaus could not do better than appoint Daniels one of the associate commissioners as a representative of the school of tho ught in the State favoring more rigid control of public utilities, especially of power companies. While the pay of the. two associate commissioners is limited to $25 a day with the proviso that they shall not receive more than S9OO in any one year, regardless of the amount of time they must give to their duties, it is agreed here that these posts are extremely important. For the two as sociates must sit with Utilities Com missioner Stanley Winborne in all cases involving the public good ox public policy and in all cases in which sums of money amounting to $3,000 or more are involved. The two associate commissioners will have the power to veto any decision by the commissioner and thus will hold the balance of power in all decisions af fecting rates, valuations and >4 forth.. Sales Tax Due And Payable On Jan. 15 (Continued from Page One.) for the cnUie six months period end ing December 31. In a!! of these returns, the mer chants must show their gross sales for the period covered by the returns also the amount Oi lax due on tha«e sales and xemit the amount of the tax. It is also pointed out that each merchant must remit the amount of tax due on the gross sales, regardless of whether this amount was actually collected or not, since the law says that the amount of tax due is 3 per cent of the gross retail sales, after deducting the sales of exempted ar ticles. A memorandum has been sent out to all of the 56 field deputy collectors calling their attenion to the neces sity for seeing tha tall the merchants in their territories make out these returns and send in their collections by January 15, in which the field de puties are told that the “first real test” of their efficiency will depend upon the number of returns filed and the amount of collections this month.

Against the spade cal! the opening lead was a heart West declined to out up his Ace until the declaier had led that suit back A return lead of a club prevented the declarer front later discards of diamonds, so that eventually he had to lose a diamond * trick, as well as the heart trick. Mr. Augustin J. Zimmerman, ot Paterson. N. J., alone was able to detect the Haw in North's strategy, as explained here. I wonder if Norths thrifty nature did not pre vent him from wanting to sacrifice Ins Qof clubs, to go his 6-odd. Such things do happen. Suppose North plays the hand ar follows. When West refuses to put up his Ace on the opening heart lead, North wins with his iO.

The drug has been given to a pa tient for as long as four months con tinuously without any demonstrable bad effects. The loss of weight takes place predominantly from the hips and abdomen, as shown on measure ments. The other regions share In the loss but to a 'esser degree. The only bad effects of the drug that have been noted consist, first, in a skin rash which occurs in about 7 per cent of the patients, and loss of taste for salt and sweet. It also seems to cause considerable perspira tion, and sometimes this is so trou blesome as to require that the treat ment be stopped. At the present time It cannot be advised that this substance should be used except under the care of a physician, but responsible reports are so favorable, that it may be hoped that within a short time we will nave learned more about it and be able to recommend it without reservations.
