Saturday Night Easily
By 22-12 Score
Epsom high school defeated the Ox
ford Orphanage girls 22-12 on the lat
ters court Saturday night, the Orange
girls being clearly outplayed all the
way through the contest.
The feature of the contest was the
close defensive tactics of the Epsom
team. Miss Clara Webb led the los
ers.
Misses Thompson and Overton led
the Epsom team to victory.'
Those playing for Epsom were Over
ton, Thompson and Ayscue, forwards,
and Dickerson, Grissom and Thomp

only substitute for the winners and
she scored four points. Oxford line
up was Spry, Harris and Carrie Webb

With their team at full strength,
the Texaco Hi-Speeds fought through
two extra periods to defeat Rouge
mont, an entry in the Durham county
Independent league, by a 27-23 score
on the High Price court last night.
At the end of the regulation period,
the score was knotted at 21, and both
teams got two points in the first ex
trat period. Henderson added four
points in the second extra period,
holding the visitors scoreless.
Bowling was the best for the visi

CHAPTER S*
ET WAS well into the forenoon
when the golfing party took Its de
parture and Selwyn Marsh settled
down to the' solitary breakfast to
which Thora summoned him,
“Looks as if we might have a quiet
day . . . for a while," he observed.
"Aren’t you eating?"
“I had my coffee some time ago.”
"Well, have some more. I’ve heard
somewhere that the Scandinavian
race are great coffee drinkers. For
get you’re Irish this morning and be
sociable. It isn’t often, any more,
that I have a chance to do the talk
ing around here." He helped himself
to toast. “Hear you’ve gone In for
polo now. Like it?”
“Not very seriously," Thora told
him. “Mr. Gordon has been showing
me something about the game.”
"Good teacher, is he?”
“I think he might be, if he had an
apt pupil. The ponies know much
more about it than I do. But it is
fun!” Her blue eyes lighted .at the
recollection of those early-morning
lessons in the sunny field.
“Sherm tells ms you take to It like
an old hand . . . says he’s going to
have you on the women’s team be
fore long. Seems like a dumb sort
of game to me. But I’m glad you
like it . . . ought to be good for you.
Just be careful and don’t get hurt."
Marsh seemed to be turning some
thing over In his mind. Presently,
he inquired:
“You and Sherm get along pretty
well?”
“Why . . . yes, sir."
"Very decent chap ... or will be

knocked down a few times. A little
too cocky, but I think he’s showing
some improvement lately. He doesn’t
get on my nerves the way he used
to. I think, maybe, you’re a good
influence for him.”
Before Thora could think of any
reply to that surprising remark,
Selwyn had changed the subject with
his usual abruptness.
“Wilma is going to the city tomor
row morning and wants you to go
with her . . . came and asked if you
might. She’s learning,” he added
with a grim smile. “Y>S» could ar
range it, I suppose?”
“Why, yes. I think so."
“I think I’d be glad if you would.
Pat will drive you. The grand duke
is going along, but he’s not coming
back. Has some business that he
claims will deprive us of his presence
for a few days. Wilma will make
her arrangements with you this eve
ning. You can tell her it’s all right
with me . . . just as long as she
brings you back.”
Thora was not at all averse to the
suggested arrangement. She had
been to the city but once, and only
for a few hours. She did not par
ticularly relish the idea of Intruding
herself upon Wilma and All Babba
for the ride in. But she would have
Pat for company and, once the city
was reached, she undoubtedly would
have time for various errands of her
own.
"I don't want to drag you away
for the day unless it suits you.”
Wilma explained that evening when
ehe came over to Thor&’s rooms.
“But I would be awfully glad to have
your company on the way back. I

Tar Heels Don’t
Drink Much Milk,
The Finest Food
College Station, Raleigh, March 3
“Most North Carolinians need to
drink more milk; in many respects
it is our best food,!’ said Dr. J. O.
Halverson, in charge of nutrition re
search at the N. C. Agricultural Ex
periment Station.
Milk contains most of the minerals,

guess I’ve been going too hard lately
. . . nerves are jumpy and I hate to
be alone."
"I will be very glad to go,” Thora
assured* her. “What time do you
wish to start?”
“About 9. I haven’t so much to
do. . ..* There was a tense drawn
expression on Wilma’s small face.
Her dark eyes lookedf tired. She
forced herself to smile. “This is
really an occasion. Alee Is having
my ring made at Edmond’s. It’s
supposed to be ready and we are go
ing to pick it up. Dad has been
having some of my mother’s Jewelry
reset for me. I want to see the
things, too.” t
“I think that Is lovely. I know
how much you will prize them.”
"There’s a bunch of the junk. Dad
showed it all to me when he took It
out of the safe. Most of the things
are so old-fashioned that they’re in
style. I don’t care much for jewelry
. . . except diamonds. There are two
rings and a bracelet, though, that I’m
crazy about. It’s almost time for the
official broadcast, you know."
"Official?”
“Yea Aunt Dorothy is giving a
dinner . . . over at her place. That
]s when the banns are going to be
read. Poor dad is bored stiff at the
prospect of making the announce
ment. He doesn’t see any use in all
this fu ss - 1 don’t myself . . . but
there’s Aunt Dorothy. She’s taking
it all so seriously and Insisting that
we live up to the traditions. You’d
think it was her wedding we were
getting ready for.”
Thora smiled at Wilma’s petulant
fats, and proteins needed by the hu
man body, he pointed out, and it is
not a highly expensive food.
The protein of milk is readily di
gestible. Most protein foods need to
be chewed, but milk can be swallow
ed whole. The energy-producing su
gar in milk is easily assimilated, he
continued.
Likewise, the fats in milk are pack
ed with energy, though they are not
quite so digestible as the milk sugar.
They not only supply energy, but they
are stored in the body tissues to be
called upon when needed, Halverson
explained.
Milk contains all the known vita
mins except vitamin C, which pre
vents scurvy. Large amounts of vit
amin C are present in lemon juice.
Vitamin A, present in butter, keeps
the eyes and other body tissues in
tact, he continued. iVtamin D, some
times called the sunshine vitamin,
helps build bones out of lime and
phosphorus.
Lime and phosphorus are present
in milk in large amounts. Many oth
er minerals are also found in milk,
although iron is not.
Whole milk is well balanced with
food element sneeded by the body, he
pointed out, the small quantities that
most people consume are not enough
to supply the body’s needs, especially
with minerals.
tone. She was wondering at th*
moment why Mrs. Steele had not
been invited on the forthcoming ex
cursion. As if she had read her
thoughts, Wilma remarked:
“I suppose the old dear will be
hurt because I didn’t ask hor to ••
in and pass judgment on the new
ring. But to tell you the truth * felt
she would get on my nerves. You
are a very restful person, you know,”
she added unexpectedly. “Good night
and thanks."
Thora enjoyed the ride to the city
rather more than she had anticipated.
To Pat Donahue’s undisguised pleas
ure, she asked if she might share the
front seat with him. Wilma and her
fiance had the rear seat of the limou
sine to themselves and their conver
sation came in faint murmurs that
were easily drowned by the chauf
feur’s deep tones as he carried on
animated conversation with his com
panion.
When the city was reached, Bab
bas suggested to Thora that she join
Wilma and himself at lunch, but sh«
declined. There were several com
missions she must attend to, but she
would be glad to meet Miss Marsh
whenever the latter wanted.
“I’ll tell you what we will do then.'*
Wilma concluded. “AJec wants to
catch a New York train a little after
5. Come to Edmond’s at 4, Miss
Dahl. We will be there ... we’ll wait
until you come. Then we can drop
Alec at the station or wherever he
wants to go. Will that be all right?"
“Os course. I will be there at 4."

ttQMH STATE
lowa Has Over Twice As
Many; Still Valuable As
Farm Motive Power
College Station, Raleigh, March 3.
In lowa, one of the nation’s foremost
farming States, there are more than
twice as many horses and mules as
in North Carolina.
According to figures just released
on the agricultural census taken last
year, lowa had 875,198 horses and
mules over two years old on January
1, 1935, while North Carolina had 358,-
604.
However, said Dr. G. Wl Forster,
agricultural economist at State Col
lege, this does not necessarily mean
that most North Carolina farmers are
handicapped by a shortage of work
stock. lowa has more land in cultiva
tion than this State.
But these figures do show that lead
ing farmers still consider horses and
mules as a valuable form of motive
power for farm machinery, he pointed
out.
According to the census, there-were
378,336 horses and mules over 27
months old in North Carolina in 1930.
That means the number of draft ani
mals in the State decreased by ap
proximately 20,000 during the five
year period.
In 1934, there was one horse or mule
for each 24.24 acres of land placed in
cultivation, including pastures and
land on which the crops failed.
1916 —Italian Government took over
34 German steamers interned in Ita
lian ports.
A Bank Account
For the Boy and Girl
On the Farm
If you want to help cement the home ties
of the farm, let the boy have his own colt,
calf and pig, plus a plot of ground to cul
tivate all for himself. And let the girl
have all she can make out of chickens,
ducks and turkeys. When the farm af
fords the boy and girl a growing bank
account, it puts up the one irresistible
argument in its favor.
A few years of well-directed effort will
show results that will cause the question
of leaving the farm to be forgotten.
Young folks on the farm are cordially
invited to save in our bank.
