WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today—The Senate began debate ’ of President Wilson’s plan for a peace league (league of na tions) stated in his surprise “peace without victory” speech before Con gress on the 23rd. Senator William E. Borah pi'omptly sounded a warn ing of danger to America of any al liances with foreign powers at any time under any circumstances. Same day British papers were say ing prophetically that Wilson’s speech was a last move for peace and that if it were unsuccessful, as it was like ly to be, the United States would be obliged finally to side with “one of the belligerent groups.” Though the American public did not know it, the President was then mak ing a final effort to arrange a peace conference with German cooperation. He acted through Col. E. M. House and Ambassador von Bernstorff, of fering to act as mediator. Bernstorff, cabling the substance of the interview to Berlin, warned the foreign office that if the planned un restricted submarine warfare was in stituted “the war party here will gain the upper hand and the end of the war will be quite out of sight, as whatever people may say to the con trary the resources of the United States are enormous ...

Where judges and other court officials captured by Tories during a. session of court? 2. When did a North Carolina gov ernor recommend that every man be supplied with a gun? 3. What recognition did the Morav ians give a small pox scare in 1771? 4. When did North Carolina first adopt July 4th as a day of Public Thanksgiving? 5. How much time were governors required to spend at Raleigh when it was first established as the capitol? 6. How did Governor Gabriel John ston save Chief Justice Smith from impeachment? ANSWERS 1. At Pittsboro in 1781. A band of Tories led by David Fanning raided the town, captured court officials, lawyers and others and took them to Wilmington where they were turned over to the British. 2. On July 24, 1781 among the gov ernor’s recommendations to the coun- I cil wa,s one that every man be sup ' plied with a “complete stand of arms, for which he is to pay the prime cost, including all charges and the arms always to be kept in best order. Every person refusing to pay to be I fined. Produce was accepted in pay j ment. The council approved this re mendation. [ 3. To consider a situation which 1 was feared would develop into an epidemic, a meeting was held and it was “agreed that everything possible should be done to hold it in check un til after harvest, and until dog daysi are over.” 4. A resolution was passed on Fri day, May 16, 1783 by the general as sembly providing “that the Fourth .day of July be and is hereby appoint ed a day of General Thanksgiving and praicie to Almighty God.” In adopting this resolution North Carolina was the first state to provide for absent ing that day. 5. The first legislature to meet there in 1794 passed an act which required l the governor to spend six months, ex clusive of the time occupied by the legislature, at the new seat of govern ment. Four years later another act was passed requiring the governor to make Raleigh “his place of common residence.” 6. In 1739 when the impeachment trial of Chief Justice William Smith for malfeasance in office was pend ing, Governor Johnson induced a num ber of members of the general as sembly to absent themselves, then a quoram not being present he dissolv ed the assembly and sent the mem bers home. HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1937 is joined the ranks of our enemies.” Consider how much the subsequent history of the world would have been changed had the German government listened to its ambassador’s words of wisdom. (Do readers wish this review of the war continued? If not, the space could be used for another interesting feature. Your yeas or nays would be appreciated). IT’S TRUE You’re wrong if you believe that only German shepherd dogs are train ed as guides for the blind, by the Seeing Eye organization, for instance, Debermanns, Briards and Labrador Retrievers are also used successfully. The largest gypsy open air camp in the United States is in New York City! As many as 10,000 pass months at a time in a camp on Long Island, within the city limits. There are rivers underneath Death Valley, the dryest place in the United States! Moths never eat clothes! The grubs from their eggs do. Clothes are now being made in this country from paper yarn that are stronger wet than dry, anud will neith er stretch nor shrink with launder ing or dry cleaning. The first European to set foot on the American continent in Columbian times was a Jew, the interpreter on Columbus’ first expedition. He was on four Jews in the crew of Columbus, who was himself probably of Jewish ancestry. Queries, reproofs, etc., are welcom ed by Clark Kinnaird. OTHffiTvffiWS PRAISE FOR HOSPITAL. To the Editor: I have been a patient in the Maria Parham hospital for ten days. I have been so favorably impressed with the hospital I wish to apeak a word of praise. It is a Henderson institution and we should all be interested in it. The hospital is full of patients prac tically all the time. It had to double up in order to take me in. It carries about twenty nurses and employees, not including the surgeons and doctors. The hosprtar is spotlessly clean. I took a bath before I entered. They have washed me like a rag each day and I learn by grapevine that they are going to disinfect my bed as soon; as I get out. The food is excellent. It is really' enticing, appetizing. During the last several years I have eaten at a great many of the best hotels up and down the Atlantic seaboard and none of them prepares food more tastily or palatably than does our hospital here in Henderson. Should you desire it, you will be furnished with special or private nurses, but if you do not want private nurses, you have very obliging, well trained registered nurses just outside of your door day and night. Our local hospital appeals to me in many ways. I get my morning mail) and my town paper delivered prompt ly. There is a telephone by my bed and I can telephone my friends or attend to business without cost. I do not have to get used to a different climate or a different water to drink. Noises do keep one awake, and I do not have to get used to new noisea like the screeching of street cat wheels or the driving of rivets in skyscrapers. My windows are large and I get plenty of air. I feel that the surgeons here and my family phy sician know me and know what I need and take a personal interest in. me. Here I do not have a tag with a number, so to speak. The attendants and people around me speak the good old southern Eng lish that I can easily understand. My family is not disrupted. My wife can be with me here at the hospital and at home at the same time and, aside from the convenience, I do not object to the money saved thereby. This reminds me that in this article I have not referred to relatives charges of different hospitals. Should I get excited and choose to go to some hospital in a large city, I would doubtless find myself at some hospital from which our surgeons and doctors have graduated. The world is not so large any more. You have doubtless heard that great lecture called, “Acres of Dia monds.” This lecture was delivered some ten thousand times without charge. It told of a man who went far away looking for diamonds only to find that the rock which kept his door ajar at home was a huge dia mond of many carats and much value. S. T. PEACE. Henderson, Jan. 25, 1937. 4 Prct Sales Tax Not Even Likely (Continued from Page 0”e.) mittees ever seriously consider mak ing any increase in the sales tax rate.” According to the estimates which have been presented to the finance committees by the budget commission and the Department of Revenue, the three per cent sales tax with the ex emptions will yield approximately SB,- 700,000 the first year and $8,900,000 the second year of the new biennium, as compared with an estimated yield of $11,300,000 from the sales tax with no exemptions this year and an ac tual yield of $10,181,000 last year. On the basis of these figures, the State will lose $2,600,000 in revenue from the sales tax the first year and $2,- 400,000 the second as a result of the restoration of the exemptions on flour, sugar, salt, lard, butter, milk, molasses and meal —the same “basic foods” which were exempted from 1933 to 1935. Although it is admitted by the spokesmen for the merchants of the State that they would 1 rather have a flat two per cent sales tax than a three per cent sales tax with exemp tions and their claims that such a two per cent sales tax would bring in as much revenue as a three per cent tax with exemptions Commissioner of Revenue Maxwell and others who have been looking into the matter are convinced that this would not be the case. Indications are that the finance committees are already about con vinced that a two per cent sales tax with no exemptions would not bring in more than $7,700,000 a year, or at least $1,000,000 a year less than a three per cent tax with the exemp tions. Accordingly, indications point more and more to the retention of the three per cent sales tax with exemp tions as recommended by the Ad visory Budget Commission and the Department of Revenue. A good many members of the committee are already worried at the loss of $,600,000 a year in revenue as a result of restoring the exemptions, with the result that they have no desire to kiss another $1,000,000 a year goodbye a® they would have to do if the sales tax should be reduced to two per cent. The suggestion that the sales tax rate be increased to four per cent is being made by tnose who are becom ing worried and alarmed at the con stantly increasing demands for lar ger approp i? lions from the public schools and all the other State de partmentg and institutions and who see no way of regaining the revenue lost by restoring the exemptions ex cept by increasing the rate. But the older and more experienced members of the General Assembly are refusing to become alarmed at the big requests for appropriations, main tain that these will be pared down later and that it will not ibe necessary to increase the sales tax beyond three per cent, with the exemptions restored ihUvletwo Girls Get 10 to 7 Verdict While Boys Fall By Score of 18 to 15 Again old man division kept Hen derson from getting a twin victory over Roxboro basketball teams in 'he high school gymnasium last night, the local girls winning their tilt 10 to 7, while the boys were defeated by the visitors by an 18 to 15 score. Miss Frances Daniel was again star of the Henderson team, getting six' points at her center-forward position. The first half of the tilt ended in a four-all count, but Henderson got the advantage in the second period, getting six to three points for Rox boro. Miss Hansen topped the visi tors with four points. Captain Durwood Turner led the boys in their effort to cop their win, shooting four field goals for eight points, while Billy Vaughan, lanky center, bot three points to aid in the fray. Mclllhenny turned in a'field goal and foul as his part of the nights work. u Stuart and Oliver topped the visit ors, each shooting seven points. The games were hotly contested, and packed With thrills all the way through. Exams forced the postponement of the tilt scheduled tonight with Middle burg. Henderson girls used Misses E. Blake, P. Hedrick, Perry, F. Daniel j at forwards, and J. Stainback, Gooch, W. Wilkinson S. Loughlin and Ays-' cue at guards. Roxboro team was made up of Misses L. Channey, E. Bazemur, Michiels, E.
