During the last two weeks we have celebrated the birthdays of two of the j greatest leaders our country has ever | known, Abraham Lincoln horn Feb- j ruary 12. 1.809 in Kentucky; George j Washington, born February 22, 1732 in j Westmoreland County, Virginia. Although we in Henderson High j School were not directly affected by j these holidays they should cause us : to pause and think about these men J and just what they have meant to our country. Have you ever thought what Lincoln did when he was a boy j your age or what did Washington do when he was a young man? Did either j of them go to school? Did either work when he was fifteen or sixteen years old? Did these two men study? Did they waste their time; or. apply them selves? If we think about them in this way and compare ourselves with them, we shall he inspired to higher and better ideals and encouraged to live j nobler lives. These men faced and overcame difficulties; they suffered hardships and carried on in spite of unusual handicaps. May we, inspired by‘their illustrious examples, press forward to nobler and more useful 1 living. Barks of the Mastiff Editor: Al Wester CLASS SONG.

Do you tend good books? or exercise? or do you loaf around doing nothing? A good thing to do in your spare time is to exercise by walking, taking I hikes, and playing outdoor games. If i your leisure is at night you will find ; it profitable to read good books; such as your English parallel books, and newspapers to find out about the news I of the day. Reading the newspapers will inform you well enough to carry on a conversation or to join in on anything going on in the world today such as the Hnuptman trial the de cision of the Supreme Court on the gold policy, the World Court on al | most any other current topic. Listening to the Radio is a good ! form of entertainment. There are many good programs such as those given by the news commentators: Lowell Thomas. Borake Cat ter, and Edwin C. Hill. Grand Operas also come on on Saturday afternoons and j Sunday nights. There are several short plays such as the plays Marv Pickofrd puts on: the plays put on on Sunday afternoons that are sumaries of Motion Pictures, and on every Fri day night there are short ptays spon ‘ sored by Italian Blam. There are Educational pictures and pictures that have been taken from good books, •such as "The Barretts of Wimpoie Street," “David Copperfield," "King Henry the Eighth" and others.

The pupils have done this very well up to the present time. The "Home Room Contest" has done a. great deal toward keeping the build | ing clean, but the only way to keep i the toilets, walls and floors in good shape is by each hoy or girl cooperat ing with the faculty in this matter. Mr. E. M.

I GOLD DECISION CONTAINS NUMEROUS RAMIFICATIONS 1 By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Correspondent Washington. Feb. 25.—Considera tions involved in the U. S. Supreme Court’s recent gold decision are so numerous and complicated that it is i almost a hopeless task to try to rec kon with them. Nevertheless the nvb of the con troversy seems to me not impossible to focus on: Congress’ constitutional power to regulate the national currency. SPECIFIED COINAGE The national currency? America is on a dollar basis, and a dollar, until after the present ad ministration’s advent, was defined as i consisting of a specified weight of j ' gold, of a specified fineness. Many money lenders, in the past. j have been satisfied to contract for lepavment b> borrowers, simply in dollars, assuming that the dollars would be gold dollars of the then \ j standardized quantity and quality of j the precious metal. However, some money lenders, slightly fearful of j congressional tinkering, have taken I . the precaution to describe, in their | contracts, the dollar that they were to be paid off in. as of the same /! weight and fineness as the dollar at j the time they made their bargains.') |-’ DEFINING THE DOLLAR In other words, these latter folk (as a majority of the Supreme Court j justices see the matter) undertook to | create a dollar of their own indepen- I j dently of the government’s dollar. | Supposing such contracts to be re i cognized as valid. Chief Justice ! Hughes and Associate Justices Bran- I deis, Stone, Roberts and Cardozo hold , , that the United States will be placed j upon a basis of two different kinds ! of dollars —the old dollar, as defined j ! by the money lenders, and the new : dollar, as more recently defined by j congress. j I The supreme court’s majority quin- I * tet takes the position that private in- I dividuals had, at no time, the right I to define a dollar—that contracts, at- I tempting to do so, never were valid, I j because contrary to public policy; un- I constitutional also. j the production of “Circus or Bust,” a puppet drama illustrating proper care for the teeth, which is to be present ed in grammar schools throughout the State during a tour beginning this week.

The father repri mands Anica■ for her treatment of Consuelo. When Anica finds Con tuelo dressed in her oxen wedding skirt, she beats her with a icliip. Marcu rescues the girl and her lather then turns the whip on Anica i (NOW CO ov WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 4 THE DANCE was over. The gypsies had gone back to camp. Only loggers and concessionaires stayed in tlie hot smelling air of tbe fair pounds. In town the little restau rants and ice cream parlors were swarming with people. Getting a moment’s respite, they were, before going back to tbe “doings” that bight. A wild time it was. too. tor these farmers and workmen to have a free day in town and spend their hard earned money on such foolish ness as eating dinner in a restaurant and buying endless pink lemonades >nd sticky popcorn and trying their (tick in the shooting gallery. And the ladies—oh. how foolishly they spent their money! But who could resist the bright pillow covers with American flags and shamrock and harps and horses and calla lilies. The pattern, the hook-needle, the yain all for the price of a dollar and it was so easy to do, just punch tiie needle through and pull it back and presto, a rose was made. But llieir talk was not all of their purchases. “The gvpsv told me of money and a trip.’ "ihe fortune teller said that I’d marry soon—*’ “The gypsies look had. I don’t, see why the sheriff let them stay in town —" “Did you ever see anything filter than the little bear by the gates, how he rolls and blinks his lit tle Mack eves —” “Ah, hut that gypsy girl with the -long hair can dance. Never have I seen the like of it and I’ve been to the big cities and to shows that played for weeks on end in the same theater and they never ran out of people to come, j Vet in all my experience I have j rover seen dancing as this wild j gypsy dances.” “She is beautiful — but gypsies are a had lot and I have told my son to keep away from them. One of my horses didn’t come to the barn last night—” And so on and so on. At the gypsy camp tbe noisy and hurried preparations for dinner went on. Going hack to the fair that night; baskets must l»e sold; Con suelo was going to dance again; Anica must take up her stand at the fortune telling booth; Zina and War cal to wrestle; Yoda to make little Honey roll and perform his merry tricks and make the children laugh and toss their pennies; and the Dummy to sell his pictures; and all of the hundred and one things the gypsies could do to make money out <gi the gorgio fair. Down at tbe creek Consuelo dangled her restless feet in the water, cooling the dusty toes. She lay hack against the moss, eyes closed. Perhaps she was weary or perhaps she was only weaving her dreams into form. For a long time Biie lay motionless and the jingling music of her was silenced. It, too, was resting. The Dummy came down the trail and saw her thus and the artist soul of him was stirred and he stood and stared at her. In his mind he painted the picture of her lying there, the graceful curve of her body, the drooping of the hands, the wistful ness of her face which never held that wistfulness in animation. He would paint her so and because he could not speak or hear he was gifted with a mind Uud •arried to AL. B. WESTER, Agent NOTICE TO -1 COUNTY TAXPAYERS I I%—PENALTY—I% Will Be Charged on 1934 County Taxes After FRIDAY, MARCH Ist I This is an opportunity to make a saving on your tax bill and I I urge_you to pay now an d take advantage of it J. E. HAMLETT, I Sheriff of V ance County. His artist soul was stirred. the smallest detail the thing he saw so that once seen it was never for gotten and at his call would stand forth so clearly that bis fingers could reproduce that which he had seen. In his own heart he knew this but the time of testing had not yet come. It would—too soon. Consuelo yawned and sat up. “Hello, my Dummy.” He sat down at her side. The girl reached into the deep pocket in the folds of the torn wed ding skirt and drew forth a handful of coins. She let them run through her fingers into her lap, displaying with pride the money she had earned. She counted it then. Six dollars and seventy-eight cents. | Three pennies. She picked the pen j nies up in disgust. They had tossed ! her pennies. Pennies for the dance I that was a part of her very life. She threw them into the stream and then almost instantly laid the other coins upon the moss and, wading out into the water, picked up the bright coppers. She made a. lit tle face at the Dummy and put the pennies hack into the pile. Lovingly she fingered the money. Six dollars and seventy-eight cents. She'd turn over to Girtza a dollar seventy-eight and that would leave her five dollars. Five dollars. With that much she could buy that set of ruby earrings from Gita—Gita was too young to w r ear such fine earrings. Five dollars all her own and no one knew about it except the Dummy and he didn’t count. Maybe another five, or more tonight.. She sifted the silver through her fingers and then sorted out the dol lar seventy-eight and laid it to one side. She tossed a nickel back into her pile, then a dime and counted it again. She added another dime. A dollar and a half and the contempti ble three pennies—that was enough to turn in. She hated to part with that much. Would like to have kept it all, but something was disturbing her conscience, perhaps the memory of Girtza stepping down from the van softer he had beaten Anica. She was glad then of the blue marks on her neck. Undoubtedly that was why he had let her wear the skirt and why the whip had not been used again. She turned to the Dummy. “Why do you suppose papa whipped Anica today? Do you think it waa Just because «he tried to i I Coal and Wood I CITY FUEL CO. I Ransom Duke, Prop. ——Phone JBo— choke me or was it because 6# knows that Anica is in love w II U Marcu?” The youth shook his head, lips moved vaguely but mo sound came from them. “Don't!

My darling, you’re everything that ur\, girl would want —yet you might as well he dead!” She put her a:ui* around his neck. “Dummy. 1 iov* you, I swear ] do.” Her lips wert hidden that he might not see. I’d go to the end of the world with you, if—” her voice broke, “if you could ask me to!” The warmth of her soft lv.ly be: arms about him, maddened him m l he held her to him passionately, his dark eyes desperate. Then almost instantly he released her. ip hands fell listlessly to the inns.-, t futile gesture the girl knew so well. Blank empty silence between them. The low whistle sounded throe li the wood. Once, twice, three time? “Supper's ready.” Consuelo said. She picked up the money, keeping hers separate. The dollar fifty three jingled in her pocket as «h*> swung along the trail to the camp, the Dummy following, hut the rest was wound in her sash, held close against her body. She could fee! the warm imprint of the coins against her flesh as she walked. U was good so. Into tlm common purse went the few pieces. “Where is the rest of it, little pie”” demanded Girtza. “That is all,” was the reply. “Give me the rest!” “That is all,” she repeated loudly “Now you will not lie to your la ther!” He reached out and slapped her across the face. “Yon may lie to the gorgios and cheat them if you can hut with me you will b« clever, my young one. or 1 find son out!” He ran his fingers undei liei sash and extracted the money. H<.* jingled it in his hand and his black eyes began to twinkle, lie held out a dollar to her. “Here, little pie, this is for trying.” He pulled her ear and sent her along with a clap on the hack and he threw back bis head and laughed his great Inuyi) when she turned and stuck out life* saucy tongue at him. i (TO UL CONTINUED' | Phone - 4 " Honr 4TO-.I tjp) Servlw* Tires, Wrecker, Itatieries O’Lary’s, North End —
