BRIEF HIS STAY
IN PICTURE CITY
Canadian Had Come South For
Health But Decided After A
Week's Sojourn That An
other Climate Would Be
Healthier
V A. J. Stanley, representing himself
to be of Alberta, Canada, and to
have seen service with the Canadian
forcea In France, left Elizabeth City
Friday afternoon after a week's stay
ln the Picture City.
Having come South for his health,
It took hiin hardly a week to decide
that Northeastern North Carolina
was no place for him. It is presum
ed that he is looking for a healthier
climate.
Mr. Stanley is about twenty-five
years of age, apparently, and is of a
taking personality. Stranded he stop
ped at the Y. M. C. A. on his arrival
here and Secretary Gilmore was so
much impressed with his hard luck
story of loss of health and being
gassed while in the military service
of his country that he secured em
ployment for him through J. T. Stall
lngs of the Gas Company. Mr. Stall
ings put him on his force and pay
roll and the newcomer was making
an excellent Impression on everybody
with whom he came tn contact.
So favorably had he Impressed his
landlady that when he told her that
lie knew of a man that hod Just got
In a lot of sugar and that he could
get some of it for her she gave him
ten dollars to make the purchase with
out a question. She has seen neither
Mr. Stanley nor her ten dollars since;
and she is stuck besides for a week's
board for the stranger. Stanley left
here on the afternoon train for Nor.
folk Friday representing to his co
laborers of the Gas Company that
his boss had sent him there for sup-1

DRAWS INTIMATK PICTURE
Ol WINSTON CHURCHILL
London, Feb. 10 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Wlnton
Churchill, who w;is first Lord of the
Admiralily at the time of the Darda

e'l out concerning that Ill-fated cam
paign, s.iys Hear Admiral Sir Doug
lass Brownrigg. Sir Douglas was
chief censor during the warand has
written h s exp riencefl in a book en
titled "Indiscretions of the Naval
CciBor." One day Mr Churchill said
to the Admiral, "for this business, I
am chief censor, not you.
"Mr. Churchill had a knack for
framing communiques," the Admiral
states. "He was alfo a hit of a gam
bier, that is. he would hold on to
a bit of bad news for a time on the
chance of getting a bit of good news
to publish a.s an offset, and I must
say that It not Infrequently came off."
Admiral Ilrownrlgg used to visit
a. m., and show him the cables and ra
dlos that had been received-during
the Firs Lord In his bedroom at 9:15
the night. Mr. Churchill, he says,
"presented a most extraordinary spec
tacle, perched up In a huge bed with
the whole of the counterpane littered
wih despatch boxes, red and all col
ors, and a stenographer sitting at the
foot Mr. Churchill himselff with an
enormous cigar In his mouth; a glass
of warm water on the table by his
side, and a writing pad on hie knee.
On one occasion he had a badly swol
len face, and with two turns of a
flannel bandage round It and a scanty
lock escaping here and there, pre
sented a truly extraordinary picture.
The cigar, however,' was still there."
