One of our colleges recently issued a questionnaire to its young women and out of the 1000 who answered, on ly 8 admitted that they intended to keep a home. This is a startling reve lation when we know that eventually about 90 per cent of them will marry. W hat can we expect of these future housewives, when they are making no preparation for their place in a home? Is it any wonder that the divorce courts are filled when girls marry j who have not the slightest idea of : what is expected of a real housewife, i nor possess any of the qualities essen ! tial to a successful home builder? • When are we going to wake up to i the fact that we must educate our | children to be home builders just the ; same as we educate them for a busi ness career? How many times we hear people say: “There is no use I to spend a lot of money educating a girl, she will just turn around and get ! married.” Just as if she doesn’t need an education to be a housewife just as much as though she were going to be a teacher, a stenographer or a ! journalist. Where, can you you tell me, will she find any more need of an education than in the home? A hun dred times a week some question comes up that requires keen judgment and a thorough knowledge of business principles. When the housewife is also a moth er, her education becomes invaluable to her in the training of her children. If she uses the correct language forms in their presence they will grow up using them, even though they are too small to know the why or wherefore of any of them. Anyone who has grown up using the wrong forms of words or mispronouncing them, will tell you how difficult it is to break the habit, and although they may later have become highly educated, these wrong forms will slip unless they are ever on guard. It seems to me that we are forget ting to put the proper value on the home life. The fireside is the bond that holds a nation together and yet in most of our colleges we never hear it mentioned. Why isn’t it just as proper to train and teach our boys and girls to be good homemakers as it is to train them to do anything else well ? A girl should be ashamed to say she can’t cook or sew, when she con templates getting married. She may think it sounds smart to make such a confession but it sounds as if she had better learn before she undertakes to be at the head of a home. It will save her a great deal of worry and unhap piness later and may be the means of saving one more divorce proceeding. —Mrs. L. G. B., in Indiana Farmers’ Guide. EXERCISES AT N. C. C. W.

GIU'-TO-C AN ADA FLIGHT IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS ?.It Clemens, May 20. I ou: liar riser G. Crocker landed at Selfridge I',, i here at 6-15 o’clock (eastern ti ne tonight, mpleting a non-st< p CanadaGulf-to-Canada flight. Lieut. Crocker left Ellington field, Houston, Texas, at 5:21 (central time) this morning. Lieutenant Crocker flew over Canadian territory, opposite Trenton, on the final lap from Toledo, Ohio, to Selfridge field. The officer said his engine performed perfectly, except for a few minutes as he passed over part of Louisiana. The greater part of the distance was flown at a height of 100 to 500 feet because of low hanging clouds. At one point, Lieutenant Crocker said, he was flying so low that he feared his plane would crash into the tree tops and he was forced to rise through and above the coluds about one hour before he found o rift in the clouds that permitted him to get in sight of the earth again. The gasoline supply of 240 gal lons was exhausted when the plane, was 20 minutes away from Selfridge field, and the remainder of the trip was made from the emergency fuel. Two sandwiches were all Lieuten ant Crocker ate on his record mak ing trip. He said he had coffee but did not have time to drink it. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the air service, was at Self ridge field and was one of the first to welcome Lieutenant Crocker. “This flight,’’ said General Mitchel “coupled with that of Lieutenants Cacready and Kelly from coast coast, demonstrate conclusivley that the United States can put an air force in the center of the country and move it to any border—north, south, east, or west—within 11 hours. The flight of 1,400 miles was made in 11 hours and 54 minutes. The ac tual Gulf-to-Canada flight occupied 11 hours and 29 minutes, the rest of the time being consumed in reaching the landing field. CHILD GETS POISON AND DIES AS RESULT Dunn. May 22.—Jessie Turlington, 5-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Turlington, who live near Dunn, died as a result of swallowing strychnine, which had been left in the Turlington home. The poison was left in a vase and in some manner the child got hold of it. When she first showed signs of illness the pa rents did not know the trouble, but summoned a physician. The unfor tunate child died within an hour and a half after she had swallowed the deadly poison. “Father: “This thrashing I’m going to give you will hurt me more than it will you, Johnny’’ Johnny: “Well, don’t be too rough on yourself, pop, I ain’t worth it.” FINALS FOR THE MEADOW HIGH SCHOOL Rev. O. A. Keller preaches Baccaiau eate Sermon; Graduating Exer cises Today ‘‘The glory of young people lies in their strength’,’ was the subject of Rev. O. A. Keller Sunday evening. May 20th, when he delivered the com mencement sermon ir. the auditorium of Meadows high school. After mak ing several complimentary remarks in regard to the board of trustees, the superintendent ar.d faculty, and the patrons of the school, Rev. Mr. Keller spoke in a very forceful man ner. His message to the graduating class was in part as follows: “The glory of young men lies in their strength. Does this mean phy sical strength alone? Billy Sunday is known as a famous base ball play er. Yet had Sunday never accom plished more than what he won on the diamond, his name would have soon been lost to sight,” said Mr. Keller. The speaker mentioned the popu larity of Babe Ruth and predicted that in case Babe Ruth failed to do something more than knocking home runs he, too, would soon pass off the stage and be forgotten. In his dis course^ Reyt Mr. Keller told how Theodore Roosevelt, a weakling when a boy won by constant effort and ap plication a robust body and an unsur passed mind. Again he spoke of Demosthenes and the wray he labored in training his voice in order to over come the impediment in his speech before he became that world-famed orator that he was. “Don’t fill your minds with cheap stuff, such as the trashy literature of the age, or the conversation of the dirty, slimy story teller,” he admon ished the members of the graduating class. “But if you would aspire to a high place in whatever sphere of of life you choose to fill, my advice is to get acquainted with the men and women who do things and who are capable of leading and influencing others towards the goals of honor and success.” In closing the minister emphasized the necessity of spiritual growdh and development as an important fac tor in the make up of a well rounded life. Wednesday evening at eight o’clock the primary gave their exercises which consisted chiefly of drills, short dramas, songs and recitations by the little folks. On Thursday evening a display by grades four to seven inclusive was given. The program included story telling, singing, dialogs and recita tions by the grammar grade boys and girls. The high schol will give its exer cises today and tonight. Supt. C. L. Coon, of Wilson, will deliver the ad dress. GETTING READY FOR ARTIC EXPLORATION Wiscasset, Me., May 27.—Captain Donald B. MacMillan, who will sail from here June 16 on the schooner Bowdoin to resume his Aretice ex plorations, announced today that one purpose of the expedition it to de termine whether there is beginning another ice age, as the advance of glaciers in the last 70 years would in dicate. Other purposes are to study terrestial magnetism and atmospher ic electricity, botany and the obtain ing of a series of bird and animal life. Thirty thousand feet of motion picture film also will be in the Bow doin’s outfit. Long copper strips are being at tached to the hull of the vessel to be used for a ground connection for the radio receiving and transmitting station which is being installed. The American radio relay league, com posed of thousands of amateurs, is cooperating with the expedition and every evening its many members all over North America will be on the alert from signals. Whether communication through the northern lights will be possible will be determined, as the party is going far beyond the lights to win ter, if ice conditions permit, at Jones sound. The tablet which the National Geo graphic society trustees have author ized Captain MacMillian to erect in memory of the Greely expedition in 1884, will be placed on the rock cliff facing Camp Clay, Cape Sabine where 18 men of the expedition died of starvation and exposure. Getting Camp Glenn in Shape. New Bern, May 23.—Major Gordon Smith, of Raleigh, is spending today at Camp Glenn, near Morehead City, preparatory to getting the place in shape for the summer encampment of the North Carolina national guard troops which will be held this year from July 8 to July 22, inclusive. Major Smith stated that only one en campment would be held, many units of the state guard having been as signed to Fort Bragg and other camps. COPELAND WANTS WORLD GO RACK TO WORK AGAIN | New York Senator Stops Over In | Washington Enroute To Ra’eigh, To Address State CoHege i Washington, May 28.—Declaring that getting the people of the world actively at business is the big mat ter in hand today, that unless some thing is done along this line to re habilitate the world there is chaos impending, and that in the general destruction thr United States will be dragged down, Senator Royal S. Cope lend, the nev Democratic senator . from New York, stated today that ! there should be immediately sum | moned by President Harding a world economic conference to deal with a situation that is daily growing worse ; with a threat to the future for the world, a threat that includes the | United States. ,It‘s time for us to get busy for world rehabilitation,” he declared. Senator Copeland arrived in Wash ington this morning from New York and made a day’s stop over in the Capital on his way to Raleigh, where on Tuesday he will deliver the ad dress at the commencement exer cises of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineer ing. He left for Raliegh tonight, accompanied by Frank A. Hampton, secretary and treasurer of the Demo ! cratic National Senatorial Committee whom he invited to accompany him. | While in Raleigh Senator Copeland : will be a guest at the home of form er Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels. j “I have never visited North Caro lina before," said Senator Copeland today, and I am looking forward with great pleasure to my visit to your state capital. I have heard of the wonderful progress that North Caro lina continues to make, how it is not alone first in many thing but is forg ing ahead in others. Interested as I am in health conditions I have learned of the work being done in North Caro lina along that line, and am delighted at the progress that I have found is going on. A state’s greatest asset is its citizenship, and the money that is invested in health for the men and women, the boys and girls, is money invested in the right way. Build up your roads and your schools, but at the same time do all that can be done to have a health citizenship.” But to get back to what Senator Copeland had to say of his views at to the imperative necessity for a world economic conference. That one should be summoned at once is “the only available means of re habilitating business throughout the world,” declared the Senator. “Presi dent Harding should call a world business conference at once. An ad justment of conditions decided upon by international business leaders at this conference could be of a tempo erary nature covering five years and need not be a permanent alliance.” “What the world now needs,” he continued, “is a restoration of busi ness and commerce. Europe is in a deplorable condition, and there can be no relief until the people are busy. Unless something is done, the United States will be dragged down in the general destruction. This na tion should show the way by sum moning the business leaders of every nation to the conference table. From such a conference it could well be expected to come a program and plans which would result in a long step forward for the rehabilitation of the world, which no one who even cas ually studies conditions cannot say is not needed, imperatively needed, needed at once.”—By Edward E. Brit ton in News and Observer. Dr. Hiflis Sounds Warning The genius of Athens was health. They had the finest intellects of anv rten and women in the world, hut they had the finest bodies. So ss’d Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis Pastor of P "mouth church, Brooklyn, h- 1 - commencement speaker at Mem: th ( liege yesterday when he emphasised the importance of phy sical training in the development of a sound citizenship. Pr. Hi lis, who was pointing out from census statistics, some of the weak spots in American life put the tendency toward physical decline alongside of the menace of illiteracy and immorality, as things to be guard ed against. It came as a timely warning, and no small factor in meeting the ten dency toward the degeneration of the ' hys cai body is the physical trail’ mg of children in the grammar grades, the High school and of stu dents in the colleges. By all means, it should begin with the children and the physical training in colleges should not be limited to the major sports of baseball, football, basket ball and the like to which only a few students, relatively, are eligible —News and Observer.
