This very year the competence of the Red Cross in , times of catastrophe was magnificently illustrated both at Santa Barbara, shaken by eathquake, and in the five middle western states that were swept by a tornado. Always the Red Cross is ready to help, to provide food, shelter, medical care, clothing. And in countless other ways, less dramatic perhaps, but vital for the welfare of human beings, the Red Cross renders its humane aid: 4 Public Health Nursing, Nutrition Service, Life Saving In struction, Service to Disabled Veterans—for every need ~ the v ßed Cross is ready.

The *torj in the Charlotte Observer about the reaction there to tbs'touting , pf ft federal designated road from the . Virginia line dear across the Pied mont shows "how ludicrous is the | thine that has been done by some body. in selecting what are supposed ; to be the mokj desirable road.routes acrdss this state to be marked on & federal map and to h*?o federal markers placed on the roads them selves. j That ‘ left-hand turn" from States- 1 ville to Salisbury is a corker, and no- ' body can blame (’barlotte for being mad. Rut haw about Salisbury? Docs Cliarlotte or any one down that way really presume -that motorists 1 eoming down No. C to Statesville will i be entieed around by Salisbury, un less said motorists are dumb indeed? ' It might further be inquired Charlotte folks how they rbink Con cord, Sa’isbury, Lexington. Winston- Salem. Mount Airy and Hillsville feel about the Fancy Gap road being ig nored and in Its stead one chosen ‘hat can be passed oVef a distance of neatly forty miles only in very favorable weather, and then att much favorable weather. an,l then at much when this stretch of Virginia road referred to is merely county road and not state road at all. It may indeed be that nobody in Charlotte knew anything about the selection of that route, but since the people up this way feel that some of the Charlotte interests have fought against the selection of the Faney Gap as the I.akes-to-Florida route it may take a little explaining to get the matter straight. Frankly, unless the Queen City is going to lose a whole lot of friends in au important sec tion of the state it is'up to those organizations woring in its particular interest to free themselves of the sus picion existing all the way from Con cord to W.vthevilie that some “canood ling" lias been done. Another ludicrous aspect is how ft majority of the members of the State highway commission could have been brought to approve a routing so ridiculous. TODAY’S EVENTS Saturday.

IS.—The govern ment report of Monday p'aeing the "rop prospect at 15,386,000 bales, or 160.000 bales above the mid-October figures, was followed by a break of over a cent a pound in the cotton market here. Evidently the figures were above expectations in view of the unfavorable weather reported in the south toward the end of October but the selling which followed it -eemed almost entirely confined to the future market and prices soon rallied. January contracts which had sold ox to 18.11 toward the cud of last month and had rallied to 20.40 in ad vance of the bureau, broke to 18.67 on its publication but atcr in the week sold up to 20.40 on covering with trade and investment buying. The factor which seemed chiefly responsible for the recovery was un certainty as to the grade of the crop. A belief that au unusually large percentage of the yield would prove be’ow the tenderab’e grades, was en cou ranged by the remarks with which the crop reporting board ac eoinpanied the figures ou indicated total fields and the continuance of unfavorable weather in the south since the first of November naturally let! traders to suppose that the situa tioin in this respect had not improv ed- Another factor on the recory was the failure of the increased crop figures to bring out any substantial volume of hedge selling from the south and reports that foreign spin ners had shown a disposition to buy on the early week decline. Much of the demand, however was attributed to covering by shorts and the buy ing tapered off above 20-eent level for January contracts with prices showing reactions later in the week under ealixing. The latter probably was promoted by reports that spin ners of American cotton in Liverpool had decided upon a further curtail ment of 4 1-2 hours per week in their working time until the end of January. It seemed to be the general : impression here, however, that the prospect is for a decided broadening -jof the demand for cotton goods in. I practically all the markets aR soon 'as raw material values become more stabilised. This view was reflected by buying on today's setbacks, but the market was compaatively quiet at the end of the week. ! Absent Minded Professor. A young woman who bad studied in one of the modern universities met a professor who was noted foe his absent-mindedness. “Don’t you really remember me, professor ?” she inquired. “You once asked me to marry you, you know.” “All, yeef replied the professor, displaying sudden interest; “and did " your a WESLEY BROTHERHOODS Laymen of Methodist Church, South.' tfeed to Organize Them. I N- C„ Nov. 13. —<&> of the Methodist Episco pal church, South, were urged to or ganization of and participation in WVoley Brotherhoods. n-t flubs for Methodirit men. by Fred T. Harnett, head of the Brotherhood movement in the denomination, in on nauress here before the .annual North Caro lina conference. Mr. Barnett spoke so an official visitor from the Board of Lay Activities, which has head quarters at Nashville, Tenn. The speaker, one of the new of-. ficials of the laymen’s movement, has active charge of the'department of Wea’.ey Brotherhoods, recently or ganized. The department of Christian stewardship, recently authorized on ■account of the expanding work of the boonrd of lay activities, in under the direction of Rev. J. K. Crawford, of Fort Worth, Tex. Both Mr. Craw ford and Mr. Barnett are located at the Nashville headquarters ot the ■board, although much of their work is ir; they field. Mr. Barnett spoke in oetail con cerning the Brotherhood movement, which, he said, had its beginning in Methodism when John and Charles Wesley, George Whitfield. and otberw, organized a Holly Club at Oxford College, out of which relig ious dub for men the Methodist church grew. ■'The Wes’.ey Brotherhood." the speaker explained, "is an organiza tion of men bound together by ties of Christian fellowship, and united for the purpose of prayer and Christian service through the church. Through its meetings, it is hoped to develope a finer sense of fellowship , and brotherhood among the men of the church, and through its programs ami open forum discussions, it is hoped to develop a new interest among men in the general work of the church. "It is easy to say that the church is over-organized," Hie speaker do- ! dared, "but such a charge cannot be j sustained with reference to the lay- ( men of the church. We have the Sun- ( day school, with its program of re- j ligious education; the Kpworth Lea- j gue, where the young people find op- < portuniyy for self-expression and j Christian service; the Woman’s Mis- j sionary societies, where the women t of the l ebureh meet for fellowship J and study of the world's needs. But J it mtut be admitted that thus far ( the church has fniled to provide its J men that opportunity for social fel- lowship and Christian service which i is so. essential to their highest ] spiritual development and possibili- i ties. The Wesley Brotherhood has I been created to meet this specific ] need. “Let us not forget the 25,000,000 men in the United States who are not members of any ehureh. Fqr some reason, the church has not gripped them, and we are hoping that through , the social fellowship feature of the Wesley Brotherhood, many un churched men may be brought into this friendly atmosphere, and led to accept Jesus Christ as their person al savior.” EMBARRASSING MOMENTS. New York Mirror. Like most girls I chew gum once in' awhile and so was chewing merrily one day when I met a young man I had wanted to meet for months. Troub.ed by a slight cough I wiped my lips with my handkerchief after acknowledging the introduction. As I did so somehow an end of the gum caught on the fabric and came string ing out after the handkerchief. The gum somehow clung like glue, making a mess of my face, hands anjl lips. Ii was an embarrassing mpment but it seemed like years before I got rid of that gum. I was calling on the best girl in ■ the Vvorld about six months ago and was sitting in the living room with her when £t>e began to snicker and giggle. I asked why. She pointed helplessly to my shirt -front and I looked down and saw this: "Kiss me; I’m sweet.” My little brother had gotten to the shirt front before I went out and pinned his message to it. I got the 1 kiSB, too. My friend invited me to her home one night and was showing me her al bum. v wlio is the old-fashioned , stuck-up,” I suddenly asked her. she said, “is a picture of my sister." I blushed and said, “I didn’t mean that one, I meant this," pointing to I the other one. You can imagine my embarrassment whan she replied icily: "That is a . picture of myself." One day, I was taking my little i sister to visit some relatives who liv i ed far away from us. We boarded a [ .trolley which was a little crowded. ■ An old gentleman took my little sis ■ ter on his knee while I stood nearby. After a while she slid down and came ’ over to me and said aloud: "You sit 1 down for a while now, Margaret.” My ■ embarrassment was not lost on any of ■ the passengers who began to grin. i : Hx> Prince’s Footprint. Edinburgh, Nov. 14.—The first re | • quest made by tourists who visit Abergeldie Castler, near Balmoral, nowadays is to be shown the foot-. 1 print made by the Prince of Wales ; when he was seven years old. This , footprint is to be seen on a concrete , pavement running along one aide of | the castle. Ope morning when the was out playing he noticed , that a barrier had been erected round I part of the pavement, the surface of . which was drying. Cildlike, he de . cided to teat the nature of the sur face fo* himself, and in doing so left j a footprint that has remained visible ; ever since. The fact was kept a ( secret until quite recently. Now, , after nearly twenty-five years, the k Prince’s footprint baa become one of , the sights of Scotland. s ' 1 ) She— A man shadowed me all the way home yesterday. V He—Did you acraem?
