Committees Chosen
To Plan Ball Here
To Honor President
Definite plans for the Birthday Ball
for the President to be held here,
along with similar dances in thou
sands of other communities over the
nation on Tuesday, January 30, were
laid at a committee meeting held last
night in the basement of the Perry
library. 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

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

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

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

readily could have fulfilled his con
tract, winning five spade tricks, three
heart tricks, two diamond tricks and
three club tricks, minus the one
heart trick going to West’s Ace of
hearts.
Against the spade cal! the opening
lead was a heart West declined to
out up his Ace until the declaier had

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. Instead of
lead tug back a heart to clear dum
my’s suit, so that later on discards
may be had. let North take three
rounds of trumps, pulling all out
standing spades. Let him lead his tj
of clubs, and overtake with dummy’s
K. Lay down the Ace of clubs. Dis
card the declarer’s last heart. Give
opponents a single diamond trick.
The balance belong to North. He
makes his small slam, scoring as well
100 points for honors, which is more
profitable tljan letting the hand be
played at 6-No Trumps.
the higher doses may cause the harm
which has been mentioned above.
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.
