They say they are going hungry. They waited last Saturday, and they waited Monday and Tuesday. It does seem that these checks could come out on time. The Char lotte office claims they are not to blame and can not get them out until they come in from Raleigh. In the meantime we know of cases where families whose larder was bare Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The Journal thinks along the line with others that there should be some means to get these checks out on time. Some one is bound to be to blame for this condition! The President’s Birthday Ball in Charlotte was a great “success." News paper headline: “Birthday Ball Nets $13.61—National Campaign Against Polio Will Get $4.09, Ix>cal Work $9.52.” Norman Thomas, socialist leader, was arrested last week for picketing a New York Department store where a strike was on, being bailed out for $500.00. Pour other picketers went to jail, in default of bond. Thomas is a good unionist, if he is a Socialist. Borah and Knox are announced G. Oi P. presidential candidates, with Dickinson, of Iowa, knocking at the door— So the G. O. P. boys are in for an open season. The Democrats are backward in coming forward, but just give them time. This paper believes that party will “shoot all” for Roosevelt Raleigh will have the “honor" of entertaining the Republican State Convention, at a date to be set. Resolutions will call for a special session of the General Assembly, security Legislation, etc., and wind up with a general cussing of the New Deal, Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. The delegates will then adjourn to their homes and be forgotten! Stork Holland’s Popular Member of Bird Family The most popular bird in Holland if the stork. Storks spend only the sum mer with the Dutch people, and they fly to the warm south when the au tumn conies, according to a writer tn the Montreal Herald. The same pair of birds will return to the same nest for years, and It is thought to be a very lucky thing to have storks nesting on or near the house. Often the chimneys in Holland are made with special flat tops on which the storks can make their nest. In country districts farmers will put up an Immense wooden structure with a platform on the top. Here the storks make their nest. They are tall and stately birds, tlieir beaks being moderately cleft and des titu'e of a nasal furrow. Drown-up storks are pure white with the exception of the black fluill feath era of the wings, the scapularles, and greater wing-coverts, and the red beak, legs end toes. They are about three feet, six inches in length, and when erect their heads are about fotir feet from the ground. Speech and Signals 1 The romance or com -i mlcation of i sending men's messages—Is older thhn writing, or even speech. It is n> old as humanity itself. Man's firs' messages were Inarticulate grunt. which expressed his thought and feel i in^—forerunners of the spoken word from these inarticulate v nee sound and from speech have boon evolved allj forms of audible message-carriers or sound signals, such as whistles ami hoitns, handclaps, turns and bells Frt>m his gestures, which originally wefe made unconsciously, have been developed ail forms of sign languages, including writing, which, as employed for communication purposes, is sim ply a series of portable symbols—that is, isigns for Ideas which may be ear ried from place to place. From ges turps, too. have hien dtveoped all ,'ortus of visible signals used for coin mubication at a distance, such as torches, beacon fires and semaphores. All I communication systems based on souitd si'rnais, sight-signals and writing have, therefore, a common ancestry in the life of prehistoric mail. Whatever theijr form, they are, as were his grunts and gestures, simply substitutes for speech.

The least exposure to cold or in damp weather would brine .-n these awful spells of asthma. Sometimes it seemed that I would lose my breath in spite of all that could be done for me. About 3 years ago I was stricken down with a severe attack. I called in Dr. Hollingsworth, Chiropractor* When he came I could hardly get my breath. He gave me a spinal treatment which gave me relief right away. He continued treating me at my home for a few days until I was able to go to his office for treatment He cured me of asthma as I haven’t had the slightest touch of asthma since takin* his treatment He also cured me of awful headaches MRS.

The first meeting of the reorgan ized local was held Saturday night with a large number of very enthu siastic workers present. Officials of the local union report that a membership campaign, which has been in progress in that com munity for the last several days, has resulted so far in approximately 40 new members. Local 2115 at one time was one of the leading unions in Gaston county, having a membership of nearly 2,000. PATRONISE JOURNAL ADVERTISERS E. A. Thrift Talks Before Gastonia Central Body (Special to Labor Journal) GASTONIA, Feb. 18.—E. A. Thrift, of Charlotte, president of the Western Carolina Textile Council, was the principal speaker at the regular weekly meeting of the Gastonia Cen tral Labor Union held here last night. Mr. Thrift’s discourse, which was very interesting and timely, was well received. His remarks centered chiefly on the importance of workers banding themselves together more strongly in the labor movement. He pointed out a number of vital reasons why labor should organize and “stay organized,” and asserted the manu facturers’ associations and the Liberty League were labor’s bitterest foes. Reports of delegates to the Central Union last night indicated a steady increase in the enrollment of new members over the county. W. J. Edwards, financial secretary of the Central Body and president of Textile Local No. 2019 at North Bel mont, presided in the absence of the president, A. W. Hinson. “LAST OUTPOST SHOWS WAR IN ARABIAN DESERT Strongly reminiscent in treatment and significance of the sensational “Lives of a Bengal Lancer,” but with an individual appeal that should, nev ertheless, make it as eminently suc cessful as the “Lancer” production, the new Paramount film, “The Last Outpost” is now at the Charlotte The atre. Heading the cast is Claude Rains, of “Invisible Man” and “Crime With out Passion” fame, appearing in a role quithe apart from any he has vet attempted on the screen, with Cary Grant, Gertrude Michael, Kathleen Burke and Colin Tapley. Set against the colorful back ground of the Eastern Front during the World War, “The Last Outpost,” tells a strangely intriguing, authen tic story of the relentless warfare that the Turks waged in Kurdistan, in their endeavor to strike at India, the heart of the British Empire. Into this seething field of battle comes Cary Grantfi captain of a British ar mored car division. Captured by a band of Kurdish cavalry, he is rescu ed by Claude Rains, a British Intel ligence officer who refuses to reveal his identity. The two form a strange friendship and, together, they save an entire Armenian Balkari village from massacre by the Kurds by tak ing men, women, children and cattle across a swollen fiver ot the Mesopo tamia mountains, at the same time averting a surprise attack on the British army stationed there. % Grant, • having suffered an injury to his leg, is sent to the British hos pital in Cairo. He falls in love with his nurse, Gertrude Michael, who, confessing her love for him, tells him that the man she married, a .Secret Service agent, had not been* heard from in three years. At this point Rains returns to claim his wife. Torn between love and duty, Miss Michael bids Grant, who does not know Rains is her husband, one last goodbye. Chance brings the two men face to face, alone in a remote garrison in the interior where the natives plan to ambush the fort by starting a brush fire. First Communication Laws On March 13, 1657, a grand assem bly of burgesses of the Virginia colony convened at “James Clttle.” During this session was passed one of Amer ica’s first communication laws. The act provldedfcthat "all letters supcvw scribed for the publlque service shall be immediately conveyed from plan fa tion to plantation, to the place and person directed, under penaitie of one hogshead of tobacco, for each default.” A similar Virginia act, passe # in 1601, referred to the "remoteness of diverse places in the country . . and the necessity of communicating diverse businesses to the utmost lymitts of itt”—the fundamental public need which has given rise to all modern communication systems. Clipper Flying Fi»h ® On February 1. J853, the clipper Flying Fisli reached San Francisco, winning one or the most thrilling ocean races ever Sailed. She had made the 15,000-mile voyage from New York, around Cape Horn, in 92 days and 4 hours. Her bid for fame had been stubbornly contested by the John Gil pin, the two vessels sailing, at times, within hailing distance of each other. The John Gilpin made the run in 93 days and 20 hours. Swift though they were, these “Greyhounds of the Sea" required more than three months to sail from the Atlantic seaboard to Cali fornia.

Gold I« of Many Colors; Aluminum Alloys Useless Pure gold shows two colors. One Is the familiar glittering yellow shade reflected from Its surface. The other Is that shown by light which passes through thin sheets of the metal. Gold is perhaps the most malleable of met als and can be hammered Into sheets so thin as to be translucent to strong light When such sheets are held up to light the color that reaches the eye is a bright green. The colored golds used by the Jewel ers are alloys. They are Dot as bright ly colored as their names might Indi cate, but, with the exception of white gold, are merely sbaues of the golden yellow. Green gold Is produced by mixing the pure metal with silver and sometimes a little card mi urn. The ad dition of a little copper to green gold converts It luto white gold, Bed gold, as might be expected, is an alloy of gold and copper. Bine gok <a formed by alloying the precious metal wt I' Iron. » i In addition to these there Is a seitte of gold-aluminum alloys which covers practically the whole spectrum. Includ ing a most gorgeous shad** of purple. Unfortunately, these aluminum alloys are quite useless, being too brittle to be worked into any useful shape.— Chicago Tribune.
