TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
Today’s native is apt to be frivo
lous. There is plenty of ability, a
sympathetic nature and a lot of assur
ance; but the mind is inclined to be
light, careless and rather improvi
dent; forgetful of past experience
and careless of the future. Early
training will be largely responsible
for the result.

TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
Oct. 5, 1606—Philippe Desportes
died at 61, having achieved immortal
reputation as the highest paid poet
in history. Desportes, an ecclesiastic
and a diplomat apparently well de
serving of the title of diplomat, was
asked by King Henry 111 of France
to write a verse with which the royal
lover could pay tribute to his sweet
heart. Desportes’ poem had only
three lines, but Henry 111 was so
pleased he rewarded him with the
title to four abbeys which brought in
Desportes a total revenue $3,300,000.
In those days the abbeys derived a
share of the income of every person
in the district.
FIRST WORLD WAR DAY’-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today—Autumn
snows brought an end to the cam
paign on the Isonzo. The Italians
line ended only 14 miles from their
chief objective, Austria’s Adriatic
base, Trieste. There was little to
show from her great autumn offen
sive except 43,000 Austrian prisoners
and the Gorizia bridgehead. How
ever, the offensive had served a vital
purpose in occupying large Austrian
armies which otherwise might have
gone to the help of Germany on the
western front and enabled it to shat
ter the Franco-British line. Petain
and Haig were the heroes of the mo
ment in the war picture, because the
Italian champaign had been lost sight
of in the west, but Cadorna deserved
to be classed with them.
IT’S TRUE
John L. Helm never knew he was
governor of Kentucky! He was sworn
into office while unconscious, due to
mortal illness, and died five days
later without recovering his senses.
The first paper money printed in
America —in South Carolina and Mas
achusetts —was issued to pay off war
debts via inflation.
The State which furnished the larg
est proportion of its men to the arm
ies in the War Between the States
was Kansas!
Alexander H. Stephens was chosen
Vice President of the Confederacy
after he voted against the secession
of Georgia from the Union, and he
was opposed to states’ rights.

What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
By FRED H. MAY
1. From what counties were the
most admissions to the State Prison
for the fiscal year 1933-1934?
2. What one was of the greatest
causes of North Carolina’s revolt a
gainst Virginia’s political leadership?
3. What did the Republican state
committee advise the party to do in
1878?
4. How much property is owned by
the State Hospital at Morganton?
5. When was the legislature asked
to pay twenty-five cents for each
child attending Sunday School?
6. How many counties did not have
a single Negro admission to the State
Prison in the fiscal year of 1933-1934
ANSWERS
1. Guilford County was first with
1,452 admissions, and Durham County
second with 1,160 admissions.
2. It was the publication in 1820 of
a letter from Jefferson to John Adams
in which the former president ex
pressed the opinion that the Meck
lenburg resolves of May 20, 1775 were
spurious. Until that time North Caro
lina had been following strictly the
lead of Virginia in all political af
fairs.
3. After holding one meeting in
April a second was held in July. At
this meeting they declared it enex
pedient to nominate a ticket. There
was no hope of success. To put out
a ticket would be awaste of money,
and the treasury was without funds.
4. The hospital plant, including the
site, hospital farm and garden sites,
1200 acres in all, is valued at $3,500,-
OCO, according to the report for the
fiscal year of 1934. The personal pro
perty was valued at $500,000.
5. In 1825 the Sunday School So
ciety of Oranjge County petitioned
the leiislature to appropriate twenty
five cents per annum for each student
to be used for purchasinp text books.
The Society had under its cave twenty
two Sunday Schools with a total ei
rollment of from 800 to 1000 students.
There were no public schools at that
time and the Society was undertak
ing the task of this substitute for the
children.
6. Five counties, Alleghany, Ashe,
Avery, Graham and Mitchell. The
Nero population of these counties is
practically nothing.
HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1936
And the only man to vote against
Arkansas secession, Dr. Isaac Murphy
was elected its governor in the next
election.
Ernest A.. Diederich, Copperton-
Bingham Canyon, Utah, wants to
know about “pigeons used in mail or
messenger services. Can they be
used only when the destination of the
message is the home from which they
have been brought? How did they
fly during the war?” We’re asking
some of our pigeon fancier readers
to help us with this one.
In the meantime, we can tell Mr.
Diederich that the owl is more of a
fool than a wise bird. H. P. Sheldon
of the U. S. Biological Survey says
the idea the owl is wise is an error
attributable to the ancient Greeks,
who were deceived by the bird’s bass
voice saying who? who? “It wears me
out to hear some one say the owl is
smarter than the crow because the
owl catches the crow at night. What
they don’t know is that the crow
turns around and kicks the owl about
by day . . . The owl is too dumb to
see in broad daylight.

Jamesftsgelg
New York, Oct. s.—Gotham Dan
guerreotype: Mrs. McDonogue is a
stage mother.
When her husband divorced her for
causes fifteen years ago he left her
the custody of their four-year-old
daughter, Maggy—later known as
lone Dewe. Mrs. McDonogue recalled
how many people had cpoken of
Maggy’s looks and pert smile and
charm.
She rent her to dancing class at
once. Then she prepared to work hard
for a few years, until the dividends
from her investment began to roll in.
They were not long coming. Maggy—
pardon me, lone—was a lovely child
and quick to learn.
She got a job as a child actress in
a play that lasted a week. Then she
was hired for a vaudeville turn that
played the “subway circuit”—the dis
tricts outlying Greater New York—
for twenty-two weeks. After that she
posed for photographers who did com
merical advertising.
Pretty soon Mrs. McDonogue relax
ed.
“I worked my fingers to the bone
for my dear, darling little girl,” she
cried cut on the slightest pretext,
“How I guarded her from every pit
fall, saved her from the dangers of
her talent, her profession.”
Mrs. McDonogue got Maggy a job,
by pulling a few wires—she was a
sharp manager—in a Broadway cab
aret when her daughter was just fif
teen. She conferred with the owner,
who wore a derby and didn’t speak
English very well, about dear, darling
little Maggy.
“I want her to live right. I don’t
want her running out with these
young fellers that hang around clubs”
she attested. “If she wants to run a
round I want you to help her meet
big men with position and culture and
money. I always say a girl should
have married men friends. They’re
much more settled and reliable.”
After this rather amazing testa
ment, still grinned about by the wise
acres able to see something funny in
it, Mrs. McDonogue relaxed further.
She knew she was getting somewhere
She didn’t regret her years of strug
gle, her constant vigil over the tender
bloom entrusted to her.
Little Maggy did well in the caba
ret. She finished her run and was
promptly hired for the chorus of a
big Broadway musical, which was a
hit. It lasted a year.
At the end of this a movie com
pany’s scout took a fancy to Maggy
—I keep forgotting: I mean to lone.

love —with a iboy without a dime and
a salary of fifty dollars a week play

The movie scort was giving a little
dinner party for a few of his friends
and had invited lone.
“I don’t like that man,’’ lone said.
“He’s fresh. I’m not going. And I’m
not going to sign his old contract. I’m
going to marry Ralph next week.”
M’rs. McDonogue took a leather belt

legacy from her husband) and sent
her packing to the movie scout’s lit
tle party, with instructions to be nice

Now lone (of course all these names
are fictitious) is a featured player
in Hollywood. She makes two hun
dred dollars a week. Mrs. McDonogue
is very happy. Last week an inter
view appeared in one of the fan mag
azines in which she was quoted:
“Raising a girl in these times is a.
hard and rteky task. Keeping her
ideals unsullied and her eyes on the
future takes all of a mother’s love
and care. But never for a moment did
I doubt my little lone, even in the
years when I was working like a gal
ley slave for her, hoping that some
day her great talent would have its
chance.”
PRISONERS TO GET
WARMER CLOTHING
In Addition to Their Comfort, It Will
Be Real Economy Move For
Highway Expenses
Daily Dispatch Jliireaii.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Ity .1. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, Oct. s.—“We are going to
keep the prisoners warm this winter,
especially in the western counties
where they frequently have to work
in temperatures that stay down a
round zero,” Oscar Pitts, acting di
rector of the State Prison Division of
the highway department, said today.
“A prisoner can do more and better
work if he can stay warm and com
' sortable and his morale is ibetter.
1,500 New Leatherettes.
“See those winter reefers over
there?,” Pitts said pointing to one
corner of his office which looked
more like an exploded clothing store
than anything else. “We have just
bought 3,000 of those heavy coats for
the prisoners up in the mountain
counties, where it gets plenty cold and
where the usual prison clothing does
not give them enough protection. We
have bought 1.500 of those leatheret
te reefers with heavy wool linings
and 1,500 of those of heavy moleskin
cloth with wool linings. They will
keep the prisoners warm in the cold
est weather.
“In the past, the only coats the pri
soners have had in cold weather have
been these thin jackets made of the
same material overalls are made of,”
Pitts said holding' up a thin jacket,
hardly any heavier than a denim
shirt. “A jacket like that is no pro
tection in really cold weather, such as
we have up in the mountains. It is a
wonder to me we didn’t have a lot of
prisoners down with pneumonia last
winter.”
Practical Economy.
The providing of 'Warmer clothing is
not just a sentimental whim on the
part of the prison division, but prac
tical economy, Pitts believes. He is
convinced that a prisoner will do a
great deal more work and much bet
ter work if he is fed plenty of good
food and warmly clothed than if he :s
poorly fed and thinly clad. Accord
ingly, he is convinced that the buy
ing of this heavier clothing for the
prisoners in the mountains is leally
ood economy and that the additional
cost will be compensated for by the
additional work that will be gotten
from the prisoners.

Disturbances developed yesteiday

Giants Very Much Back
in World Series, Taking
sth Game 10-Inning, 5-4
(Continued from Page One.)
Rolfe was safe on a sacrifice, filling
the bases. Di Maggio came up with
the bases full and fanned. Gehrig dup
licated the act. Dickey ended tne in
ning by flying out. .
Both teams scored again in the
sixth, the Giants when Ott singled to
left and Ripple got a base on balls.
Mancuso sacrified the runners. White
head’s lick to Corsetti was errored,
Ott scoring, Jackson and Schumacher
struck out. _
After two were out in the sixth, oei
kirk singled and Powell got a base
hit at third, and Jackson’s throw to
Terry was wild, Selkirk scoring and
Powell went to third. Lazzeri tied
the score with a single to right, send
ing Fowell home. Johnson, batting
for Ruffing, struck out.
Malone took over the hurling for
the Yankees and did not allow a
base knock until Moore’s double in
the tenth.
In the last of the ninth, the Yankees
led off with Malone getting a single,
Corsetti forced him at second, and in
turn was forced by Rolf. Di Maggio
got a base on balls, and with the
count 3 and 2 Gehrig sent a slow roll
er to second, being an easy third out.
Moore’s double in the tenth went
into the stands, a ground rule hold
ing it to two bases. Bartell sacrificed
him to third and Manager Bill Terry
sent a long fly to Di Maggio in left
center, Moore scoring standing up
with the ball game.
The Yankees threatened in the*
tenth when Dickey singled, but Sel
kirk fouled out and Seeds went in to
run for Dickey. Rowell flew out to

to make the bargain effective.
But he did not tell us in detail how
it wa s to be made effective.
I imagined at the time that he was
telling how, but that the technique
of the plan was too intricate for my
financially untrained mind to follow.
Now I ascertain from real experts
who were present that he made only
an announcement, with no explana
tion of the plan’s methods that they
could understand, either. Indeed,
when questions were put to him,
which might have elicited enlighten
ing information, if answered, he side
stepped.
Banker friends of mine, who are
skilled in international exchange
transactions, testify that neither are
they sure how the Anglo-Franco-Am
erican compact i s to be fulfilled in
actual practice.
STABILIZATION DESIRED
All this is not to assert that any
thing is the matter with the dicker.
Even critics of the secrecy with
which it was arrived at express the
opinion that international currency
stabilization i s highly desirable—if it
can be guaranteed.
But they would like to know more
of the particulars of it.
