I here Has to Be One In Every Community
A KftAL STATE'PROBLEM.
Hooky Mount Telegram.
~ ' r,l * > tonint problem is. ono which
o rth, rarolinn must. consider
brought out in the recent address of Dr.
E. O. Jtranwln, of the T7niver»ity of
North Carolina, before the Public Wel
fare institute at Chapel Hill.
‘There are one million, two hundred
and forty-one thousand citizens of the
state who do not own tin inch of the
ground they cultivate or a single
shingle of, the. roof over their, beads.”
was the startling statement attributed
to Dr. Branson in press dispatches.
Commenting upon Dr. Branson’s
statement and the probleai which faces
North Carolina, the Greensboro Record
says:
Dr. Rraflson compared the'conditions
in North Carolina with those in Den
mark. ‘'There are,” he says, “no prob
lems of literacy. TJiey 'have instilled
within their very beings a thrift which
compels them to own their homes. This
feeling for, the essential power of thrift
is large’y lacking among our American
people today. They see the immediate
needs and forget that they should be
willing to forcego them in view of more
permanent things. The average Ameri
can sees what he wants and gens it
whether it ho bread, bonnets or pargorie.
It is from this widespread lack of thrift
that opr own problem of farm and home
ownership nrises.”

The problem of excessive tenancy,
which i-s the*problem of til - landkfctf*ami
homeless country man is not a negro
problem. And it is so. because, as Dr.
Branson says, throughout the south the
white tenants and croppers out-number
the negroes.
Three-fourths of all the farmers to
North Carolina are tenants, miying
from pillar to post. They create a sort
of nomadic race, and unless the staff'
makes an earnest effort to check Its
spread,* it may become a menace that
will not down easily.
Dr. Branson says this roving popula
tion has created a problem tha 4 seems
hopeless, but one which no thinking
man can forget. “If you have any re
ligion,” he tells the welfare people, “yon
ran not give up the problem. The chil
dren of those tenants present such a pic
ture of neglect that if yon are really
interested in the slightest iu making this
little earth a safer place for children to
be born into, you must help to solve It.”
It. is one of the most'; gigantic '*rcb- :
lernfl the state, if? facing, and must con- :
tinue to face for generations. How shall j:
the job be tackled? That’s the thing the,:
studeftt. of sociology may well mpenct a j:
life time studying. Dr. Branson urges I:
the creation of a permanent civilization j j
which would make country life' more;:
livable. Those who really love the conn-!:
try, he says, will lead the way to do ■
away with the ills of those who are :
landless and homeless.
Illiteracy, which’has thrived so well in
our stale*, has contributed its full por
tion to the creation 6f (the homeless
man;, and bis lack of . thrift has added
impetus to ipepace. The ffrsr assault on
tenancy, therefore, is through the
schools. A great, responsibility rests
upon our teachers; But - they cannot
solve life problem alone, they inirt have
the ifn«tinted co-operation ,of the best
iriinds in the state.
As Dr. Branson says, the citizenship
,of the state cannot forget the problem,
and t his newspaper believe?* the lenders
are not trying to forget it! It* will re
quire time to put North Carolina on thp
plane With Denmark, hut it is not idle
to believe it can be done.
Curiosity is like electricity, helpful or
harmful, according to how we utilize it.

Here Is a little story often told but
it -is one that affords niueli amusement. {
A .Jewish youth working in a clothing’
store for another .Jew received only a |
smull salary but felt that lie should get'
more. One morning he went to Ills em-j
ployer and rogues tail higher wages. The i
employer thought for a moment, then
picked up a.pencil and began: “Isaac, in
air ordinary year there are 300 days.
Am I not right?"
The other nodded. : L
.""’ell. this is leap year pil'd 'tliflre use
•100 days," and he wrote' this' ' dowif.
“Xow, Isaac, you work'll third of you#,
time, play a third and sleep the othei 1
third. isn't that so?”
Isaac agreed. ]
"Well then, you work only. pne-'thir<f
of' your time, don't you?"
“Yes." t
“One rhird of 300 days is 122 days':
this is the time you spend in actual
work. Xow,-there are four legal holi
days every year. (In those days you
do not work, do you?"
“Xo.”
"Very well, we will take four days
from the 122 days of actual work you
do; and that leaves 118 days. All right,
Isaac, Jewish people never work on Sat
urday and there are 52 Saturdays in
every year. Take 52 fi-om 118 and you
have a remainder of 00 days. Our
“tore is never open on Sunday,. Isaac.
Subtract that amount from 00, and you
have just 14 days left. Now, Isaac,
my boy, I am pretty liberal with you.
Don’t I give you two weeks’ vacation
every year?”
"Yes,” replied Isaac.

The Health-Cost of the Tobacco Habit.
, The Frogfessive Farther.
ft just nhivppens that only yesterday I
talked wftlt two of the foremost medical
authorities'in the Southern States. One
of them iiM|ie mCdicaf-diree'tor of what I
believe isflthe greatest life insurance oom
l>an.v in ihe'South. The other man is a
health officer whose work has given him
a national reputation.
Wliat (the medical director had to say
about tobacco came up quite accidentally
and mie’vieVfediy aiitT impressed me all
the more for that reason. We were not
talking nbjojut' tobacco at all. but I simply
put to him. a question previously put to
me by g friend as we had read the ac
count of Vi ire-I’resident Thomas It. Mar
shall's sudilfn death :
“Why is if that while we read in the
papers almost every day of 'some man
suddenly dropping dead, we very rarely
hear of a woman dying suddenly in this
fashion?”
The statement is a-corvect one so far as
my observation goes, and so 1 simply put
it up to this famous doctor to give me an ’
PAGE THREE
explanation.
"In my opinion," he said, “the answer
is largely found in the /widespread and
often excessive use of tobacco by men. A
hardening of the arteries is generally
found to precede those sudden deaths
that we read about, and the tobacco habit
is especially liable to promote this hard
ening. of the arteries.
"As a nintter of fact, I told a group of
college students a short time ago that I
could pick Out the students who smoked
sinfply by testing their arteries. X have
proved my ability to do this on a number
of occasions. Unfortunately, some girls
now are beginning to smoke also, and I
recently tried out the girls in an office
building and picked out a few who were
smoking simply by this test of the ar
-1 cries.’’
