Today gives a curious mixture, with
a strong but conflicting mind. There
is quickness of thought and action
and great executive powers. The de
termination will often bring results,
but they are not always of the best.

light and in dark moments do no!

Today is the Day
By CLARK KINNAIRD
Copyright, 1936, for this Newspaper
by Central Press Association
Thursday, March 12; St. Gregory’s
Day; 251st day, 160th year of U. S.
Independence. Every day is a holi
day somewhere. This is Moshoeshoe’s
Day in Bastuland, and the Anniver
sary of Sun Yat Sen’s Deat hin China.
No weather saying is more unsound
than the saying, “It’s too cold to
snow.” Our worst blizzards have
either commenced with a low tem
perature or terminated with the tem
perature near zero. The great bliz
zard of 1888, which began March 12
started with a mild temperature and
terminated near zero, which is us
ually cold for this season.
TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
March 12, 1776 —Lady Hester Lucy
Stanhope was born in London, daught
er of the 3rd Earl of Stanhope, de
stined to become one of the most re
markable women of her time. After
having served 10 years as private sec
retary to the great Premier William
Pitt, in a day when it was extraordi
nary for a woman to have such a po
sition, she became deranged. She
wandered to Asia Minor, won the
friendship and confidence of wild
Arab tribes and became their queen.
The crazier she became, the greater
her power grew until she dominated
Syria and Palestine. She died at 54.
March 12, 1789—-A general postof
fice was established by authorization
of Congress, in consequence of a plea
of the post-master-general, Ebenezer
Hazard, that the new nation needed a
federal postal system reaching every
part of the country. He had some
difficulties obtaining authorization,
for private mail services were ope
rating, and they usually were faster
and less expensive than the U. S.
Mail.
March 12, 1866 —Memorial Day had
its inception. In a letter to the Co
lumbus, Ga., Times, Mrs. Mary Ann
Howard Williams proposed setting
aside a day “to wreathe the graves
of our Martyrred dead with flowers,”
and thus instituted the memorial day
custom in the South some time before
the decoration-day idea was adopted
by the Grand Army of the Republic
in the North.
March 12, 1930—At Lowell Obser
vatory, Flagstaff, Ariz., Clyde W.
Tombaugh got man.s first sight of
the planet Pluto. Percival Lowell
had predicted the discovery 25 years
ago before by mathematical calcula
tion.
FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today—The 10th
British division, composed principal
ly of Irish, had outlined the horrors
of Sulva, in the Dardanelles. It had
outlined the days and nights of ter
ror and bitter cold on the Serbian
frontier ranges in an abortive attempt
to stem the German invasion. Now
it was “fighting another war,” carry
ing on a slow, punishing rear guard
action in a retreat from Macedonia
to Salonica. Thereby it was enab
ling the Allies to withdraw stores ac
cumulated for the Serbian campaign
and fall back without disorder into
Gree kterritory.
The Irish saved the Allies from an
other disaster comparable to the Dard
anelles, though outnumbered eight to
one. Teodorow, the Bulgar general
opposing them, reckoned no loss too
great if the objective be gained. Un
der his whiplash orders the Bulgars
charged again and again until the

New York, March 12 —Dr. Allan
Roy Dafoe, who shepherded the Di
onne quins into the world, turned out
to be a dyed-in-the-wool gad-about
during his last visit to New York.
Tight lipped, with large quizzical eyes
behind gold-rimmed specs, he likes
parties and night life.
I saw him at “21” that nice but
rather ordinary restaurant which at
tracts luminaries of the pen and foot
lights at all hours of the day and
night mysteriously. I glimpsed him
emerging from the lobby of the
“Follies” recently, the center of a
large and happy group of stay-up
lates. He even Dent an ear, I am
told, to the purple jazziques of Leon
and Eddie’s.
News reached me that the good
Doctor had a slight cold one day. I
itched to ask him if it wasn’t the
merest touch of “quinsy”—but never
summoned the nerve.
I went backstage at the Paramount
to chat with Mr. Eddie Duchin, the
young jazzmaster with big eyes and
black curly hair who is the current

darling of the sassiety set. He was
educated to be a pharmacist in his
dad’s New England drug store and
so, with great vocational versatility,
he doesn’t have to worry.
Eddie was sad about the closing of
the Central Park Casino, that dazz
ling chalet on the green where so
much ermine and so many stiff shirts
used to pop the eyes of plain citizens.
He got his start, rose to fame there.
“Os course the political phases of
the Casino controversy—being on pub
lic ground and things like that —are
outside my field. I haven’t any opin
ion about that. But it makes me blue
to see the Casino dark. My career is
only four years old and I got my big
start there.
“After all, society people have to
have some place to play, too. That
was it.”
Eddie married Miss Marjorie Oel
richs a little more than a year ago.
She’s of the breathlessly fashionable
Oelrichs clan and she had had to
bear ostracism for marrying an “en
tertainer,” as far as the Social Regis
ter was concerned.
She doesn’t mind. She likes to go
with her husband on one-night stands
throughout the country, playing in
theatres and for dances. She doesn’t
mind about the Social Register be
cause she knows that all the debbies
who remained in the book envy her
half to death for getting Eddie.
COTTON ROADSARE
10 BE TESTED OUT
Some 50 or 60 Miles Will
Likely Be Constructed
During 1936
O.'iily Dlitiiiitch Itnrenn.
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
J. C. TIASKRRVIT.I,
Raleigh, March 11.—The State High
way and Public Works Commission is
hoping to be able to build from 50 to
60 miles of “cotton roads” this spring
and summer, as a result of the ap
propriation by Congress to the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads of $1,300,000
to be used in building experimental
roads using cotton fabric as a binder
between the clay base and the bitum
inous surface on top, Chief Engineer
W. Vance Baise said today. He has
written to the Bureau of Public Roads
for further information and to find
out, if possible, how much of this sum
will be allotted to North Carolina.
“We have been planning to build
some of these ‘cotton roads’ this
spring with State funds, in order to
determine wdiether the surface treat
ed roads built with a cotton fabric
binder will stand up better and wear
longer than roads built without it,”
Baise said. “But if the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads will furnish the
fabric for these experimental roads,
as preliminary reports indicate, we
will try to build from 50 to 60 miles
of them this year, since we can use
the fabric on roads which we are go
ing to rebuild or re-treat any way and
at no additional expense. We are hop
ing that this will be the case since
the cotton fabric needed cost from
SBOO to SI,OOO a mile and the cost of
surface treating a road is increased
by that amount.”
Some Benefits Certain.
There is no doubt that the use of
the cotton fabric binder between the
road base and the surface treatment,
helps to hold the base together and
make the road stand up better, since
it prevents the seepage of water and
moisture into the base, Baise pointed
out. Much of the damage to surface
treatde roads this winter could un
doubtedly have been prevented or
greatly reduced if they had been built
with the cotton binder to prevent rain
snow and moisture from getting into
the clay and soil base.
The only question to be determined
is whether the additional cost involv
ed in building these “cotton roads,”
amounting to from SBOO to SI,OOO a
mile will he justified by longer wear
and a decrease in maintenance costs,
Baise said.
