Today promises well for ability as

little appreciation of the personal
risk of life, which may bring bodily
injuries; or possibly the aspest may
turn the condition toward deception
in business.

Aug. 15, 1769 —Napoleon Bonaparte
was born an Italian, destined to be
come the greatest Frenchman. He
wanted to become Russian. .When
ho was a young lieutenant and pessi
mistic concerning his career in the
Frehch army, he learned that Cath
erine II of Russia was seeking for
eign officers for her army. He offer
ed h>*vservices and requested a com
mission as colonel. The Russian gen
eral who reviewed his application
wrote a tart letter in reply indicating
that a captaincy was enough for an
inexperienced youth to expect.
A few years later, when youthful
Napoleon was the mightiest soldier
in Europe, Catherine had the Russian
general court-martialed for lack dt
perception.

Aug. 16, 1743—Antoine Laurent
Lavoisier (La-vwaz-yay) was born in
France, the future founder of modem
chemistry and the first to organize
nationwide agricultural experiment
stations. French revolutionists cut
off his head as a “master charlatan’’,
saying: “The Republic has no need
of scientists.” The great mathemati
cian Lagrange commented, “It took
only a moment to cut off that head,
and perhaps 100 years will be needed
to find another like it.”
Aug. 16, 1777 —Insubordination---the
refusal to obey orders—of an Ameri

A few days before Col. John Stark,
49, had resigned in disgusr from the
Continental Army because he had
been refused promotion to brigadier
general, and went home. New Hamp
shire gave him command of militia

begun by British from Canada. Stark
refused to comply with the com
mand of Major General Benjamin
Lincoln to (attach this force to the

consequently was at Bennington, Vt.,

What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
By FRED H. MAY
I
|
1. How many widowed men and wo
men are there in the State?
2. What important meeting between
the English and Cherokees took place
at Franklin?
3. What is the smallest incorporated
town in North Carolina?
4. Who represented North Carolina
when the treaty of-peace with Eng
land was ratified?
5. How many acres of land were
planted in crops in 1934 and 1935 in
the State?
6. What tax did the people of
Orange county refuse to pay in 1768
ANSWERS
1. In 1930 there’were 37,605 men and
103,850 women. One woman out of
every ten in the State is a widow.
2. In 1730 the King of England sent
Sir Alexander Cumming, a special en
voy on a secret mission to the Chero
kees. The meeting was held at Ne
quassee, now Franklin, county seat of
Macon county. This meeting resulted
in the Cherokees sending seven of
their ranking chiefs to England to
meet with the King, and conclude
terms of peace.
3. The 1930 census gives Dellview,
Gaston county, with a population of
ten, as the smallest incorporated town
in the State.
4. Hugh Williamson, of Edenton,
and Richard Dobbs Spraight, of New
Bern, represented North Carolina in
the Continental Congress in 1784 when
the Treaty of Paris, which ended the
Revolutionary War, was ratified. The
people of the new United States
thought so little of a centralized gov
ernment that only 23 of the 91 mem
bers were present to vote on the rati
fication.
5. In 1934 there were 6,301,721; in
1935, 6,760,900.
6. The poll tax levied for building
Governor Trypn’s palace at New Bern.
This tax fell alike on the rich planter
and merchant and the poor man. The
small farmer in the west felt it
heavily. In Orange county on August
2, 1768, a meeting was held and the
sheriff informed. “We want no such

five miles away, with a force com
posed of German mercenaries, Eng

Amerindian allies. Proceeding on
the theory that the best defense is
attack, Stark fell upon the enemy at
dawn, and put to flight British, Ca
nadians and Amerindians immediate

two hours, until ammunition was ex
hausted, then retired, paving the way
for Burgoyne’s surrender at Sara
toga—'turning point of the revolu

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
Aug. 15-16 —News leaked out abroad
of the swift catastrophe which had
befallen the Italian superdreadnaught
Leonardo da Vinci, on Aug. 4.
Toward midnight on that date the
darkened city of Taranto was sud
denly made brilliantly light by ton
gues of flame coming from seaward.
As the population rushed into the
streets, a series of explosions shook
foundations of their houses and broke
tiheir windows. The Leonardo, at
anchor in the harbor, was afire, and
her magazines were exploding one
by one. To avert further disaster,
her commander ordered the bulk
heads opened;' to scuttle the thip.
This undoubtedly saved 942 of the
crew, enabling them to swim safely
to land, but 248 others lost their lives.
Censorship prevented the news
from being published in Italy itself
until September, wnen the Admiral
ty announced that the fire was the
result of a plot. But no plotter was
ever punished for causing Italy the
loss of its No. 1 warship.
Queries reproofs etc., are welcomed

New York, Aug. 15.—The Dog-Days:
August is the month when every stage
struck boy and girl, from Podunk,
Montana, to Lake Okeechobee, Flor
ida, is beating a hopeful trail to
Broadway. From summer resort stock
company barns, from the wobbly
choruses of a desert inn night club,
from the nurlieus of Perk Avenoo
drawing-rooms and from the Holly
wood casting bureaus they come—
hopeful, starry-eyed, young. By bus,
train, plane and ox-cart they pour in.
Every day and night on Broadway
now is like an embattled bargain
counter. Producers and agents are
frantically interviewing hundreds of
aspirants for the role s that will rattle
your ears and play hop-sctch with
your emotions in the winter ahead.
Eagerly they sign up eleven duds for
that twelfth anomaly who will be
next year’s Ginger Rogers, Robert
Taylor, Katherine Hepburn or Fred
Astaire.
As for the playwrights, they are
nervously chewing their knuckles in
the glooms of the theatres where
their plays are being rdhearsed. If it
is a fledgling play they? are likely to
be quietly building up to a first-class
breakdown. If the playwright is an
experienced veteran, it is quite pos
sible the winter holds nothing more
horrendous in store for him than
bankruptcy, the shattering of several
dozen lifetime friendships, or a fist
fight the producer. And, quiet
ly, too, from out there will come to
morrow’s George S. Kaulfman, Eu
gene O’Neill or George Bernard
Shaw.
Incidentallly, while I think of it, let
me note the capsule criticism of one
of my friends who always makes me
feel iike a charter member of the I-
Wish-I’d-Said-That Club. After the
wet firecracker sizzle with which Mr.
Shaw’s only New York lecture ap
pearance was greeted, she was asked
her opinion of the master. She smiled,
“Oh, pshaw!” she flipped.
And the scene painters, the compos
ers of December’s lilting operetta
tunes, the producers themselves who

Zdenka Koubka, or Koubkova
With expert strokes of a razor, Zdenka Koubka, or Koubkova, once
a famous Czechoslovakian woman athlete, shaves a heavy day’s
growth of beard from his cheeks in his New York hotel room—
proving he is a real man’s man. Zdenka, who recently arrived in the
United States to fulfill a night club engagement, will undergo a
second operation which is expected to change her (or his) sex com

will make or lose fortunes —they’re all
on Broadway to brush your elbows
against this very minute. Tomorrow’s
Robert Edmund-Jones or Nerman Bel
Geddes with the paint splotch on his
lapel, tomorrow’s Jerome Kern, Irving
Berlin or George Gershwin with a
smudgy score in his briefcase, tomor
row’s Russell Patterson or Aline Bern
stein, with swatches of bright-colored
silks and lush velvets wadded in
pockets—they’re all there.
As you may have noticed, last
year’s plays did not exactly set me
running in circles. Not one of them
was what you might call a howitzer.
Amusing, interesting, mildly entertain
ing—but nary a “meteor” among ’em.
However, from this forest fire perch,
it all looks pretty exciting. My other
suit is out on the terrace sunning now
and that pin point moth-hole can pro
bably be darned so it won’t show.
They found my felt had wedged in
between some hunting boots and a
fairly fragrant pair of fishing pants,
but at that it looks better than the
one I’m wearing now. As far as I’m
concerned, they can start any time
they want to.
Fisheries Chief
Will Help Study
Os Shad in State
Dally DlM|»ntfh Rnrrnii,
In The Sir Walter Hote.
By J. C. BANKER -VIM.
Raleigh, Aug. 15. —Glen C. Leach,
chief of the division of fish culture
of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, will
confer soon with a special commit
tee of the Board of Conservation and
Development and department officials
to consider plans for future activities
towards replenishing the steadily dim
inishing supply of North Carolina’s
most valuable food sish —the shad.
Information that Mr. Leach would
be sent to North Carolina to meet
with the special committee to study
shad conditions and possible remedies
was received today by R. Bruce Ether
idge, director of the conservation de
partment, from Chas. E. Jackson, act
ing commissioner of the fisheries bu
reau.
Mr. Etheridge said the first meet
ing of the committee will probably be
held the middle of next week in
Morehead City. The group will con
sist of J. L. Horne, Jr., Rocky Mount;
E. S. Askew, Elizabeth City; Jas. L.
McNair, Laurinburg; Mr. Leach, Mr.
Etheridge, and Capt. A. Nelson, State
fisheries commissioner.
The conservation director hopes
that a constructive program for pre-

serving the productivity of the ;shad
industry of the State may be worked
out at the meeting, and carried out
through a cooperative arrangement
between the Bureau of Fisheries and
the Department of Conservation and
Development.
Steadily decreasing yields of shad
has caused officials to become con
cerned over the future of the industry.
In a period of about 40 years the an
nual take of this valuable food fish
has dropped from almost 9,000,000
pounds to around 1,000,000 pounds.
Many commercial fishermen have also
requested that action be taken to re
habilitate the shad industry.
The Board of Conservation and De
velopment has already approved the
establishment of a shad hatchery in
cooperation with the Bureau of Fish
eries, when funds are made available
for the purpose. Other measures in
behalf of the fishery are expected.
