May 23, 1805 —Napoleon Bonaparte,

good in the biggest French city, made

May 23, 1823 —“Home, Sweet Home,”
perhaps the most enduringly popular
American song, was first heard pub
licly in London, as part of an opera
written by an Englishman! It was
sung by Anna Maria Tree when the
opera “Clari, Maid of Milan,” had its
initial performance. Ironically, the
composer of Home, Sweet Home, Sir
Henry Bishop, is as little known to

Payne, the librettist, is usually given
all of the credit for the song.

teller, was himself an unconscionable
liar! For instance, he repeatedly de
scribed himself as the “former rector
of George • Washington’s parish,”
which he never was; and he invented

born in Gmund, Wurtemberg, where
he grew up to become the artist who
executed a dozen of the most famous
American historical paintings. His
best known work, Washington Cross
ing the Delaware, was painted in
Germany, and this caused him to com
mit glaring anachronisms in it. Crit
icized because of these, he made the
then difficult journey to the base of
the Rocky Mountains, to prepare him

What Do You j
Know About I
North Carolina?
By FRED H. MAY
1. What two denominations stand
out in the fight for religious freedom
in North Carolina?
2. How many automobile drivers’ li
censes have been revoked since No-!
vember 1?
3. What freight was allowed on
North Carolina’s first railroad?
4. What was the total amount of
highway bonds issued by North Caro
lina from 1921 to 1927?
5. When was the office of State Au
ditor created?
6. What two North Carolinians pre
ceeded Josephus Daniels as minister
to Mexico?
ANSWERS
1. The Quakers and Presbyterians.
Early in the history of the colony the
Quakers lead in resistance to the plan
of the English government to exclude
all who did not accept faith in the
Established Church. The Cary Rebel
lion was a part of their fight for re
ligious freedom. Later the Presby
terians took the leading part in the
fight which ended finally with the
Revolutionary War.
2. Since the law was put into effect
on November 1, 1935 a total of 2871
drivers’ licenses have been revoked.
3. The Experimental Railroad built
under charter issued by the legisla
ture of 1832-33 specified that the com
pany should not charge contractors
for the State on any building more
for hauling stone than two-thirds of
the usual wagon rate. This railroad
was built from the site of the State
Capitol to a rock quarry just east of
the City.
4. The original bond issue of 1921
was $50,000,000; for 1923, $15,000,000
for 1925, $20,000,000; and for 1927, $31,-
850,000, making a total of $116,850,000.
5. The constitution of 1868 created
the office, which is elective by the
people. Prior to 1868 there was a
comptroller appointed by the general
assembly. This office was created in
1782, and Richard Caswell, of Dobbs
county, later divided into Lenior and
Green, was named the first comptrol
ler. The duties of the auditor “is to
cause to be audited the accounts of
each State department and instiu
tion.”
6. Chief Justice Thomas C. Man
ning, of Louisiana, born in Chowan
county, North Carolina, and Senator
Mat. W". Ransom, of Northampton
county. Before accepting the post to
Mexico Senator Ransom had served
the State in the United States senate
22 years, from 1872 to 1895*

New York, May 23.—Out of the
Mailing: “I have just come home from
a visit to New York,” writes a lady
who prefers anonymity in San An
tonio, Texas, “and I’d like to mention
at least one Manhattan experience
that perhaps no male reporter would
stumble on. I refer to the delight of
shopping for food in the various New
York stores, large and small.
“Os course I didn’t buy any food
while I was there. I ate in restau
rants and lived at a hotel. But it was
a revelation to me to see the food de
partments of the big department
stores and even the shops which sell
nothing but strange and rare import
ed stuff.
The big department stores knocked
my eye out. To be able to buy Ken
tucky and Virginia hams ready-cook
ed and those yard-long sausages they
call bologna. I never knew what A1
Smith was talking about, exactly, un
til I saw some. And by the way,
what’s the difference between bolog
na and boloney? IMy little daughter,
at 12, said she was sure boloney was
the plural.
“There was one funny thing, tho
ugh. In those huge department stores
you could buy everything to eat ex
cept what most of us eat every day
—steaks and chops and things like
that. Now I am going to tell you
something. I have never seen men
tioned in any of the columns as a
possibility in avoiding starvation.
“A girl I know went to New York
some time back and she has a good
job now. But she says she was pretty
blue the first few months. Couldn’t
get work. Finally she was absolutely
broke and the food problem began to
loom. You know what she did? She
toured the department stores every
day and always found they were “in
troducing’ some new product, jelly
or jam or pickles or canned ham or
caviar, and samples were passed
around.
“One day she had four servings of
caviar for breakfast, two dill pickles
and a piece of angel-food cake for
lunch and her dinner consisted of a
large bowl of new breakfast food.
Well —'She lived to get a job, anyhow.
Only one trouble. It makes her ill
now every time she enters a depart
ment store—or passes a delicatassen
window.
“Oh, yes. I wonder how the Nor
mandie feels now that the Queen
Mary is about to steal some of the
spotlight. It occurred to me that if
the Normandie wanted to be naughty
it could sail out in the bay and then
sail in alongside the Queen Mary as
that ship docked in New York on its
maiden voyage. That would be an
idea, wouldn’t it ”

Mixture Inexpensive and
Easily Prepared, State
College Man Says
College Station, Raleigh, May 23
When ants infest houses, public eat
ing places, or lawns, exterminate
them with poison bait, says C. H.
Brannon, extension .entomologist at
State College.
An easily prepared, inexpensive ant
poison may be made with one quart
of water, a pound of sugar, 125
grains of arsenate of soda, and 25
grains of tartaric acide. Boil to
gether until the arsenate has dissolv
ed. If a tablespoonful of honey is
added, the mixture will attract ants
more readily.
Place the poison syrup in shallow
containers where it will be easily ac
cessible to the ants. Pill boxes wat
erproofed inside with hot paraffin,
clean tin salve boves with holes pun
ched in the lid, or even small glass
mayonnaise jars make good containers
Brannon stated.
However, Brannon said, little red
ants will not always take the above
poison. For them he recommended:
one pint of water, one pound of sugar,
three ounces of honey, 27 grains of
thallium sulfate, and 15 grains of tar
taric acid. Boil the mixture, stir
vigorously, then cool.
Thallium sulfate is a dangerous poi
son, Brannon warned, and should be
handled with great caution.

cities of oronortionate size.
“If the safety measures and regu
