Fame and fortune are theirs following one outstanding picture in which Joel plays an important character part. He ob tained the role because Janet cultivated the right people and Vernon Chester, a leading director. Denied a baby be cause the studio- frowns on domestic motes in building up Joel as the popu lar American lover, Janet finds happi ness eluding her, despite everything money can buy, because she has nothing more to do. Janet discovers that $3,000 a week melts rapidly living as they mow do. After buying a small group theater in Cape Cod as a lark, Joel (promptly forgets about it. Janet goes least alone for a visit. Because Joel is (not with her, by the time Janet has [reached New York, it is widely ru mored that a divorce was imminent. Janet and Martha, an old friend, go to iCape Cod to see the Little Theater and (stop with Mary Charleston, wardrobe (mistress and scenic designer of the theater. MOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: CHAPTER 23 MARY CARLETON licked the edge of the knife with which she had been frosting a cake. She looked at the clock and calculated whether she had time to make her potato salad. She had to stop at the Berwicks and pick up a high boy for the set in the second act and she had promised little Mary’s nurse that she would run up the new sun suit on the sewing ma chine. , She decided to let the salad go. Then she decided to let the sun wuit go. It wasn’t every day that a girl had a guest who was the wife of a screen sensation, f Slicing the potatoes, she looked at her hands regretfully. They [weren’t any lilies, she reflected, ■and thought of the creams and lo itions on Janet’s dressing table, j She thought of Janet and all the •other things Janet had. The love- Jy simple sports things, the soft ►cashmere sweaters, the white coat fwith the great collar of white fox, [the clever little evening clothes. I She tried to picture the house in .Beverly Hills over which Janet was mistress, v She tried to picture the furniture, the servants, the rugs and paintings but all she could think of was that there was money to pay for all those things. Money t-the thing that separated her and er Leslie every winter. She sighed with envy. ( Deftly she swished the dressing [lngredients around in a wooden dowl while visions floated before her eyes. Visions of herself, Mrs. iCarleton, shopping on Hollywood (boulevard, selecting smart little sports things with never an anx ious glance toward the price tag. Visions of Mrs. Carleton in silver jfox sweeping through lines of curious gapers at a Hollywood opening. Lucky, lucky Mrs. Paynter! Mrs. Paynter was a lamb. There were no airs, no pretenses about her. Mrs. Paynter had offered to stay with the baby when nurse had had to go to the dentist. Mrs. Paynter insisted on making the beds in the morning and helping with the supper dishes. And she WOULD HAVE STATE MAKE OWN CEMENT Dally Dispatch Bnreiin, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKPRVai, Raleigh, Feb. 17.—The State of North Carolina would go into the bus iness of manufacturing its own ce ment, under terms of a bill introduced in the House Tuesday by Represen tative Ed R. Hanford, of Alamance. Mr. Hanford was author of the so called Hanford liquor bill which would have authoried establishment of four State distileries. This feature was stricken out by a House commit tee. The Alamance legislator figures it would be a tiem< :dous saving to North Carolina if a cement plant were established and importation of this important road-making material from other states discontinued. His bill would give the highway commission authority to establish a cement manufacturing plant after careful study of the advantages of the entire proposal and an inspection for the best available site. It would per mit use of regular highway depart ment funds for setting up the plant. Discussing hi« measure, Mr. Han ford said that cement can he manu factured for 70 cents a barrel against more than $2»»C\ the average price now being paid. The plan would save the State not less than half a million dollars annually, he estimates. There is no cement plant, either pri vate or public, in the State, he points out, and there would loe absolutely no competition between the States owned and operated plant and any domestic plant manufacturing f or private sale, even should one he later Aoah Numskuu.

Mrs. Paynter, who had only to touch a button in her own house and have servants bursting out of all the doors to wait on her! Well, women were funny. Mary picked up the mixed salad and put it in the ice box. Janet folded the corner of her bedspread the way that her father had taught her to do it, as it was done in a hospital. She surveyed the placement of the pillows crit ically, puffed one a little higher and regarded her work. Martha sat in a wicker rocking chair and watched her. When Janet turned toward her, she would have masked the pity in her eyes. Janet didn’t look at her. She went out into the hall and came back with a long-handled dust brush and worked hard for the next few minutes searching for non-existent dust. "Don’t you think we should have some fresh flowers?’’ she asked, and looked toward the bright sweet peas in the little china holder. Martha said yes, she thought so. She knew T-'wet wanted an excuse to go uown to the garden 2nd pick the flowers. She knew that Janet wanted to go to the market and buy a chick en for their dinner. She knew that Janet w r anted to scrub the floors. She knew that Janet was playing house. That all the things her money had deprived her of, she was finding by proxy in the home of another woman. And it made her heart ache. There was nothing that she could say. She tried once to sound out Janet on her domestic life but Janet, fierce in her loyalty to Joel, would tell her nothing except to touch upon the beauty of her home and the competence with which it was run and how much Joel liked it. “Why don’t you and Joel get a little place back here?’’ she said on another occasion. “Then you would have it for a place to come to on your vacations.’’ She didn’t say it was a place where Janet could come to be herself. Janet explained that the studio didn’t want them to have ties so far away from California. So much was expected of them, she said vaguely. And all that Martha could do was hope that Janet could be inveigled east to see her. Now that she had her, she didn’t want her to go back to the coast. Janet was the only affection that Martha had and she had a moth er’s heart for the girl. Janet had said she was going to stay only a fortnight but Joel, in his vague letters, had insisted that she stay on.He was not as im pressed with the little theater as Janet had hoped he would be, but he was glad that she was enjoying herself and urged her to stay. At first his letters had been filled with little things that were lover like. Little things about his miss ing her. He had nothing to do. he established, as terms of the measure authorize only manufacture for State use and not re-sale to the public. Legislature May Ad journ By March 15 (Continued from Rage One.) that even though the Senate has been inclined to lag behind and rest on its oars from time to time, its presiding officer has not permitted much rest for the senators. Now that the revenue and finance bills are before the Senate, Lieut. Gov. Horton is expected to insist on still more speed, with the result that many observers feel confident that the Sen ate will finish with these two bills be fore adjournment this week.

Frank Murphy of-Michigan, who worked ceaselessly to settle the General Motors automobile strike, was taken in New York as the Michi gan chief executive addressed guests at the annual dinner of the American-Jrish Hostorical society 1 HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17,11937 complained. He was doing a bit of swimming, had played bridge a few evenings and missed her like the devil. Then the letters had grown shorter, duller. This or that had happened at the studio. Toki had run the station wagon into the side of the garage and it was being fixed. He was thinking of putting a drive in back of the garage so that service cars wouldn’t have to use the front drive. Was their bill at the fruiterer’s sll2 or $212 ? He couldn’t find his sapphire studs. Why didn’t she teil him he had no more blue shirts? Some body wanted to know if she were going to join the new French class started by one of the wives of a French star. He had gone down to Maiibu to a party given by Carol Griest. He was assigned to play opposite the red-headed star in her next picture and he had gone down to talk it over. Vernon Chester was going to direct and he and Vernon had taken Carol to the boxing bouts the night before. They were the usual letters of any husband. They brought Janet back to him but not to Hollywood. That was something that she would have to do but she prolonged her visit because she did not want to end the peace and joy of this make-believe existence she was en joying. “Who’s Carol Griest?” Martha asked her one day. Martha was reading a newspaper. "Good heavens, darling! Do you mean you haven’t heard of the Glamorous One? She’s a siren on the screen. The new school of sirens, Martha. She has humor and is, according to the magazines, a home-loving girl. Why?” Martha said, "Oh, I just won dered.” Then she took the news paper downstairs and burned it in the fireplace. Glamorous siren, was she? Well, she didn't have anything her bairn hadn’t. Janet was to hear more of Carol Griest. Lisa Carey wrote her. Lisa wrote frequently. Little dis jointed notes of life in the picture colony and much in the maimer of the columnists. . . when Bert and I went to the push at Plovers—you’d have hated it because you couldn’t cut the air what with heavy perfume— imagine my surprise to see Joel!; Griest acts as if she owns him, the little fool. We’re getting a great laugh out of her performance. The gal is a hussy and stupid in the bargain. Everybody knows that JOEL adores you.” Janet read that letter over and over again and decided to forget about its implications. Then Joel wired her: “COME HOME AT ONCE STOP I NEED YOU AND I LOVE YOU STOP KEEP THAT IN MIND AND PAY NO ATTENTION TO SILLY RUMORS STOP WIRE IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU ARE LEAVING LOVE.” (To Be Continued) ate will make some changes in both bills, there are no indications of any serious disagreement before th e House and Senate on major issues. As a re sult, it is believed that whatever dif ferences may arise with regard to eith er the revenue or appropriations bill, that these can be ironed out within a week, if not even less time. It is agreed that a storm is brewing in the Senate over the sale tax on building materials and the chain filling sta tions tax sections, and that the gaso line and oil company lobbyists, al ready here en masse, are going to fight the filling station tax tooth and nail. But many regard it as doubt ful if the chain filling station tax will be materially changed, since indica tions are that the House seems de termined to make this tax stick this time. The House still has the school ma chinery act and the revenue machin ery act to consider and pass, also the old age pensions bill, but little oppo sition is expected to develop to any of these, with the possible exception of the school machinery bill. An ef fort may be made in this bill to change the organization of the school commission and give the State Super intendent of public instruction more to do with the allocation of the school appropriation. ' / .: Over 40 Counties Expected To Vote On Liquor Stores (Continued from Page One.) county will require the calling of such an election. Many Counties To Vote. It is now expected that between 40 and 45 counties, in addition to the 17 counties which already have coun ty liquor stores, will call elections in the near future to decide whether li quor stores shall be opened and that most of these will vote for liquor stores. The fact that the earnings of the liquor stores in 16 of the 17 coun ties now having them have amounted to the equivalent of the proceeds of a 25 cents tax levied on the property in the county, is expected to add to the number of counties which will call call elections on liquor stores, also be a factor in the voting in the countieei. Under the terms of the old age pen sions and aid to dependent children law, each county must levy a prop erty tax sufficient to provide its share of the cost of old age pension and child aid, unless it ha» enough general revenue to meet this additional ex pense without imposing another tax. It is already generally conceded that those counties which do not open li quor stores will have to impose an additional tax of about 10 cents on the SIOO valuation in order to meet the cost of the old age pensions plan, but that the revenue from liquor stores in any county will be more than enough to defray the cost of the old age pen sions and aid to dependent children. Reasons Dry* Lost. The reason the “drys’>'lo9t in their' effort to get the Martin amendment adopted, calling for a Statewide re ferendum, was, fifrst. that they were using this amendfnent as a means to kill the bill and were hence insincere in proposing it, since at heart most of those advocating the amendment had no desire to see any liquor con trol system adopted (but wanted things to remain as they now are in the State, most observers here agree to day. A second reason for their defeat was that almost without exception the advocates of the referendum amend ment frankly admitted that prohibi tion has failed, that conditions in so called “dry’’ counties of the State are almost intolerable, but yet were un willing tb try a new method which ha« proved successful in 17 counties. A third factor in the defeat of the re ferendum amendment, was the fact that two years ago, during the 1935 General Assembly, the United Dry Forces fought every move towards a LEGGETT’S “HENDERSON’S SHOPPING CENTER” jjflf We ’re Ready so r Spring Are You? ~ New Spring '|p|||® ujfii DRESSES \ Big prints are the smartest Paris styles ißnlffilsSi and today they are emigrating to Arne- |l/| i ||| m * jmmffl rica in countless number.

Advocates of the present control bill ipoint out that it does provide four countywide referenda and that no li quor stores can be located in any county until a majority of the voters in that county have given their ap proval—thus giving the people of the State the right to vote on the liquor control measure and assuring dry counties of remaining dry. Treinendus Pressure. Not the least interesting activity in connection with Senate consideration of the county option liquor control bill was the tremendous pressure ex erted, by both sides upon members who either had not announced their stand or who seemed to be wavering in their allegiance. This last minute lobbying was ob vious over the week-end, when doubt ful senators were besieged in their home towns, if they went home, or in Raleigh, if they stayed in the capital, by proponents or opponents of the. measure. Most of this sort of pressure used by the drys. It was doubly obvious in the Senate chamber before Tuesday’s session con vened and especially during the ten minute recess taken after the bill had been ca’led up in order to permit friends and foes of the bill to divide time. Then group? of earnest advocates surrounded those senators who might possibly be converted at the last mi nute. Then, too, j ages brought in stacks of telegrams firm the folks tack home. Even if he wins, General Franco of the Spanish rebels will never be a highly inspected figure. You just can’t enthuse over a man who takes months to do what he said he could finish in less than a week. Sdsaa iHii J. P. Scales, C. p Tax Service I Modern Accounting Svaton S Phone 156-J
