If,ok for those directions for mak-j
ing soap that I said would be in the j
Record last week, you failed to find i
them. In making up the paper they j
v ere left out with some other mat-)
ter that there was no room for, the
printers not knowing there was any j
connection between this column and
the recipe.
When I reminded them that some
one might want to see how to make
soap it seemed that the only space
that could be made for that type
would mean taking out part of
“Queen Anne's I>ace”; and since
they had in only a few scallop? of
that I told them to let folks wait
to make soap till this week. I
think the moon was wrong last
week anyway.
More Etiquette
In looking over the pages of a
reputable household magazine I
came upon a supposedly real in
quiry as to the etiquette to be ob
served in sitting on the lap of a
boy friend when four are riding on
the one seat of a coupe.
The point not clear to the in
quirer was whether she or the
friend should first enter the car.
I«n't it obvious that he could not
stand outside to assist her in when
he had to be in place before she
f at down ?
To this behind-the-times reader
it appears that the most important
thing involved is not etiquette, but
something far more priceless. In
my day girls who sat on boys’ laps
were not called sub-debs; there was
another name for them.
Koti -Hare —With a Difference
I have been told this week of a
remedy new to me. It seems that
if your cow’s milk becomes un
pleasant in taste you should not
bother to give the cow any treat
ment. Instead you take some of
the milk while it is quite fresh, stir
some soda and some salt into it
and set it in (he cupboard for a few
days. This will correct whatever
caused the bad taste.
I said that acting upon the same
principle one might save feed by
putting the cow’s hay in the cup-'
board instead of in the rack, and i
was told that there is a difference
nobody can explain; that one will
work while the other will not.
At any rate, I am sure one will I
rot.

Crowns of Glory
Don’t you like the way girls
their hair now? i
To me. whose memory, starting
from the day of the frizzl'd and
upstanding bang, comes down
through the psyche knot era, the
ratted pompadour period, the tur
bar effect (arranged over a frame
on the order of a muzzle), “dog
ears”, the first hysteria of bobs,
with their accompanying clipped or.
shaven necks, and the following fine
frenzy of permanent waves that
were frequently fearful and won
derful to behold, the present styles
of hairdressing for younger wom
en are the most beautiful I have
ever seen. Sometimes I think that
if St. Paul were living now he could
forgive women for cutting their
hair.
And do you remember when some

No Love Bird
When I was a sirl we often sang
i a song - about a lovers’ quarrel. One
stanza of it went like this:
“Last night 1 dreamed a pretty
little starling
( ame softly tapping at my window
blind,
And in its bill a message from my j
darling—
She said that she recalled those
words unkind.”
Since 1 have made the acquaint
ance of the starling: 1 am wonder-;
ing at the lady’s choice of a mos-j
sender; for few birds are more in
appropriate as bearers of love-let
ters. It’s a wonder the lover didn’t
whack him off the window sill with-i
out waiting to look at his bill or 1
bis billet-doux.
Perhaps he was chosen because

The snow which began falling
last Friday night came as a com
j plete surprise to most people in
this section. In fact, to date no one
has said just what time it began
I to fall. Several have said they know
iit had not begun at a little past
S midnight, though by seven o’clock
' Saturday morning it was about five
ir ch-« deep.
J A peculiar feature was that
thou 'h snow fell fast all day with
onlv a few brief intervals, at night
it was hardly any deeper than in
the early hours of the day. This
was caused by the warmth of the
ground, which melted so much of
the snow us it tell. It was estimated
that had none melted the fall would
have approximated eleven inches
here.
j * -
Another thing noticed was how
: the snow clung to trees, shrubs and
i vines, and how deep it lay upon
j! oofs. On Sunday when it was melt
| mg, great masses of it could be
| seen literally curved under eaves
j where it had started to fall, then
, hardened.

Except in the eastern part of the
i state where rain took the place of

rejoice a’ the amount of water thus;
put into the soil and at the benefit
to the crops.

One day last week a very serious
accident occurred not far from here
when a young man by. the name of
Stallings and T’eige Minton had a

Mrs. Hinton was killed. Her hus
band and two sons and a neighbor
boy, Manly Narron, were all seri
ously hurt. Mr. Narron has sine
died and was buried Thursday. He
died at the Johnston county hospi-j

Important Notice
I Tobacco Farmers
Wake County tobacco farmers,
| like many others, have listed en
tirely too many acres and pounds <>f
tobacco, so much that all the oon
tracts and sent to Washing
ton have been returned. A new list
| ing w ill be necessary before the
government can pass on them. So.
; those farmers around Zebulon who
; have signed up. will have to make
| a new contract before they can get
: the clip Leduclibn; benefit. And
| they w ill have to make a consider
j able reduction in every case of both
acreage and pounds on a ba<is of
I the crops as 1032 and 1933.
The three men appointed to list
! the applications are: C. S. Sham
! blee, Orer D. Massey and J. G.

!at Massey Lumber plant for the
! next few days. Mr. Chamblee w ill
■ sign up all those who live south of
highway 90 and a line rurning with
I Little River Ice plant. See one of,
1 those men once and re-sign your!

duet ion on your application or it is
possible Wake county contracts will
fail to pass, and the farmers will
lose the benefits available.
Department Meets

the Garden-Civics department of
the Woman's flub at her home in
Wakefield Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. R. H. Herring had charge of
the program and gave as her part
of it. a paper on “Gardening,” dis
cussing in the first part, the attrac
tiveness of gardening as a sport!
and an art. The latter part dealt j
with the preparation and planting
of perennial borders, bringing out
the importance of well prepared
soil for the beds.
Mrs. Charles E. Flowers read two
of Joyce Kilmer’s poems, usinv
“Said the Rose,”, and “Roses.”

The medicine show- showing a
comedian and no limit to the num
ber of legs seems to be making a
hit. It’s free to everyone, but you
can have a set for ten cents. In

square feet to stand in, the rest is
taken up with seats. Clever? That’s
how they keep going.
The local dramatic club will have
to keep on its toes to keep up with
these out of town villains and he
roes. Sez you!
The idea of a dramatic) club for
.the community has probably been
|in people’s minds since the first
play was given in Zrhulon. This
idea of letting some stock company
come in and use local talent for
a play—taking away .‘SO per cent
■of the gross proceeds— is foolish
j from efery standpoint. M^s.
1 Charles Flowers probably knows
more about directing play correctly
than the whole staff of any stock
company in the state. Where there
is ability galore, why should the
people of Zehulon, or any other
towm pay good money for such di
rection that can easily l>e beaten

can’t do otherwise, whether you at
