WASHINGTON
SNIP - SHOTS
)
As the last days of tluyXong session
ok congress come, a recapitulation of
its. appropriations shafws the stagger -
ingVJotal of over $? ,000 ,000 ,000. In
othftr^^rds, Con j/ss reached down
into the taxpayers' pocket at the rate
of more /one billion dollars a
month. In amotion, it in acted the so
called Social . security bill which will
levy taxes u/pon industrial payrolls for
unemplovqfent reserves and old age
pensions totalling billions over a per
iod of Sgars unless it is declared un
jtional.
r the three years beginning in
anc' ending with the fiscal year
k tlJp spending as outlined will
reach VOotal of $24,000,000,000. Oddly
enough, tfiis was the total cost of the
Federal (Government from the first
term of foe org e Washington to the
first teiim of Woodrpw Wilson ? 124
years. Ittwas not until the late twen
ties that) the first peacetime Federal
budget w^ent above $4,000,000,000, and
that was rit-w^s at that time.
Breaking down ythe $24,000,000,000 in
to simpler term?, it represents $12 for
every man, wtjfman and child In the
entire world, ^ and nearly $1,000 for
each family in\the United States. Sen
ator Byrd of Virginia has figured that
the Government is spending $13,000
every minute W the day and night,
with $7,000 of th'c being added to the
public debt wl^ich must be paid by
generations yei j unborn. Over and a
bove all of this spending, the state,
county and city governments are ex
acting their tojll from the taxpayer.
The House aiid the Administration
beat down efforts of the Senate Fi
nance Committee, led by Democratic
Senators, to turii the tax bill into a
legitimate res-enue raising measure
designed to begin balancing the bud
get. Howevet, it would have been with
out precedent for a political party to
enact pi large tax bill ]ust before Na
tional elections, except as a political
gesture aimed at a small group of
voterp, as is the Administration bill.
BuV, with the election out of the way
there is no doubt that taxation will
be a paramount question before Con
gress and the voters for years to come.
, Accepting money from the Govern -
^ ment is one thing, but paying taxes to
make up the deficit is something else
again and far less popular politically.

Hat And Bag Forecast Football Season
NEW YORK Jean Parker's new Pall suit with the military air, is top
ped by a smart little gray hat that gives a suggestion of a helmet, which hints
strongly of the favorite Pall sport. The bag verifies the hint. It is designed in
football shape and properly initialed.
radical legislation are being borne out
as the year moves on. Steel produc
tion is climbing, and the automobile
industry is mapping its program for
next year confidently. Production for
1935 is expected to reach 3,100,000 u
nits, far above last year.
"Business generally is better," said
W. S. Knudsen, vice-president of
General Motors. "The general picture
is improving right along. We note
more optimism in those with whom we
come in contact in our business."
"Can these salutary conditions be
credited to the New Deal?" he was
asked. "No," Mr. Knudsen replied. "I
lay it to the Lord, He is not worried
about 1936 being a Presidential cam
paign year. To be pessimistic about
next year, one has to feel that in
comes will come down. As long as they
are going up, business is bound to be
better."
The newest political force to develop
during this session of Congress was the
stockholders in corporations over the
country. Estimates of their number
range from 10,000,000 to 20,000.000.
Threatened with losses by the public
utility legislation and the tax bill, they
were heard from by Congress by the
thousands. As yet they are an un
known quantity but are likely to be
a powerful influence in future sessions
of Congress as they awaken to the
realization that attacks on business
are attacks on their income.

Weevil Infestations
Reach Serious Stage
Boll weevil infestations in North
Carolina are becoming serious in many
sections, acording to C. H. Brannon,
extension entomologist at State Col
ltge
Recent observations have shown that
the weevils have spread over most of
the Piedmont area. This year weevils
are attacking many farms where they
have not appeared in appreciable
numbers before.
Over practically all the cotton grow
ing area of Eastern North Carolina
weevils are now being found, Brannon
said, and the increase has been heavy
within the past two weeks.
In cloudy, warm weather prevails
during the rest of August, he contin
ued, weevil damage over most of the
State will be really serious unless ef
fective control measures are started at
once.
He recommended that growers who
find weevils in their cotton should
start dusting with calcium arsenate or
a half-and-half mixture of lime and
calcium arsenate. Since the infesta
tions are so widely spread, he urged
that ev?ry farmer keep a close look
out for weevils.
Six pounds of dust should be spray
ed on each acre of cotton. Brannon
stated. The plants do not need to be
coated with a heavy layer of dust, but
the spray should be heavy enough to
send a good fog of dust about the
plants.
Brannon also urged the growers to
keep a sharp watch for red spider,
which is being found in a large num
ber of fields this year. As a control
measure, he stated that at least two
dustings of sulphur should be made
about a week apart. Ten pounds should
be applied to the acre.

ANSWERS TO PROBLEMS FROM
WRITERS
Dear Louisa:
I am to be married this month. My
lance is quite able to support me but
it seems a shame to gi*? up the good
job I have had for five years. I won
der if the extra money I would make
would be more important than putting
the time on my new home which my
husband is giving me for a wedding
present.
ALINE O.
ANSWER:
If your Job is just routine work and
if the money is your only Inducement
to keep on working, I advise you most
earnestly to give up your job and put
your time and thoughts on making a
charming home and rearing a pleas
ant family. Such a course will reward
you many times more than a few dol
lars in the bank.
If your husband was struggling to
get along and had to pinch pennies,
my advice might be different. Under
such circumstances it would probably
be better to help him along financially
for a few years, at least. But in your
case, you are not worried over finan
ces. Your husband presents you with
a nice home and believe me, my dear,
this thing of keeping a home lovely
and comfortable, of making social
contacts for your husband's and your
own pleasure, as well as interest, is
not such a casual job as it seems. And
if you put off having your family very
long, some times one never has a fam
ily. This is really a tragedy for life is
not complete without children.
So, I say, give up your job with its
few extra dollars and you will find
hundreds of worthwhile ways to spend
your time until the family arrives.
LOUISA
Dear Louisa:
You wrote a letter a while back say
ing that every one should take a va
cation. But what would you do if every
time you planned to go away some
relative would write that they were
coming down to spend a few days or
a few weeks with you? Thas has hap
pened three times this summer and I
have had to unpack my things and go
I
back to the kitchen, as we have no
servant.
If our visitors had been my own
family, I could have written them not
to come, but my husband would have
been awfully hurt if I had refused to
entertain his people:
H. E. M.
ANSWER:
Really, H. E. M., I have never un
derstood why anybody who invited
themselves places should feel hurt if
their hostess asked them to put their
visit off until later as it suited her
better to have them then. It seems to
me that if one knows a person well
enough to invite themselves at a spec
flcied time that the person should be
Intimate enough wfth them to let}
them know whether it suits or not.
Personally, I think any one has a
fearful crust to write, "I am coming
down Monday," unless they add, "if
it is convenient." No matter how in
timate they are or how close kin they
may be.
If your husband is particularly anx
ious to see, for example, his sister,
and she wishes to come just as you
are planning a trip, why not write and
tell her how sorry you are that you
will be away just at that time, but how
delighted John will be to have her
while you are gone, if it doesn't suit
her to come later. Certainly no one
should feel hurt over such a reply.
At any rate, if I were you, I should
most certainly take my vacation, re
gardless of whether all my relatives
got them or not, at my expense.
