THURSDAY, MARCH 11. 1928 THE WAYNB9TLLB MflPW-J-N-ER. ANSWER OF AMERICA TO FOR EIGN AJ'J'EAL." i n i;!nv Mrs. Charks R. Thomas prepared the paper, "Answer of America to Foreign Appeal," and read it at the last meeting of the Woman's Club. This paper was considered among the best that has been written for the club, and others that are selected will appear in later editions. It seems from the other subjects on the program that the foreign a;. peal to be discussed relates to the World War, arid the an-mr of the I'nited Srates of Arm-rim to the appear of our allies to send h.-lp to t.v-m in Kurope.

We hae sent, and are now sending large sums of money to aid the Chris tian people iii Armenia, going to what is known as the Near Kast Re lief Fund, to save them from starva tion and the oppression of the Turks and we have always responded lib erally to all appeals from foreign nations to aid the suffering and op pressed and to give them liberty and freedom. Meantime we have cared for our own people and kept frea from unwise and entangling alliances with others. In the World War the United States loaned upon the appeal of foreign nations, engaged in that war over ten million dollars to Kurope, includ ing the government of Great Britain, France, Helgium, Italy, Greece, Rus sia, Romania, Poland and all the smaller nations engaged in the war against Germany. Some of this mon ey loaned was for carrying on the war and some of it for relief after the war was over. The larger countries, through tho World War Foreign Debt Commission of the United States and the Debt Commission of their own nations are making settlements of these loaned by the grace and favor of the United States upon long time and low rato of interest. In the World War the United State answered the appeal of Europe by doing much more than sending money. We sent nur boys and men over seas to answer their appeals and spent millions of money at home and submitted to many hardships. It is nice wr did not enter the war until April, I'.HT, after the great pas senger service, the Dusitania, without any warning, was sunk hy the Gcr-' mans, drowning a number of Ameri can citizens and until Germany re fused to stop her submarine warfare. Our President (Wilson) endeavored until the last moment to keep us out of the war, but when in 1SU7 Russia hid collapsed and the Germans con tinued their warfare with submarines and deadly gases ai d the allies were almost exhausted, then we responded nobly with our men to the Macedo nian cry, "Copie over and help us." The Congress of the I'nited States on April tith, 1 1 T. after public senti ment had demanded, not only for our" own protection, but for the salvation of Kurope, that we enter the war. made a declaration of war against Germany. Austria. Hungary, Turkey and Centra! Powers and fr nu then on until the Armi.sti.i-, Nov. 11, 191R, we threw our whole strength of men and money to save Kurope and tho world from the domination of Ger many. We poured men into France by the hundreds of thnusands and al though Germany ryi May ;10th. 191P, had made a great movement back to the Marne it seemed would conquer Europe, but the uid ot American troops and under a united command led by Gcn 'Frtih jinii Gen.

(Continaed from unoth-r page.) executive clemency to Eugene Cup ton, Franklin county, serving a life sentence in the State Prison on a charge of murder since June, 1023. Three or four paroles were author ized by His Excellency during the week, among them being Buck Ed mundson, convicted of violating pro hibition law in Halifax county in August, 1PJ5, and sentenced to serve twelve months on the roads. His ap-i plication for clemency was approved by both the judge and solicitor who part, but had it not been for the help of America, Europe would hare been dominated by Germany. When we answered this appeal of Europe, we had to care for our sol diers, train them and in other ways prepare for the war. We had to pro vide what soldiers call the three M's of war namely Men, Money and Mu nitions. Many of our boys volun teered and many were drafted. Even before the war many young Ameri cans had slipped across the ocean and volunteered to fight for France, looking on Germany's acts and cruel ties as against the rights of all na tions.

Less than 10 years ago the enroll ment in the summer session at North Carolina college was below 400.

In this strenuous age when always there apears to be something wait- j ing to be done hnd with never time. I to do it, we hear more and more of j nervousness. With the ever-increasing competition in business and in I social life, and the competition in ! social life may be keener and moro disastrous than in business, there re sults an increasing number of vic ' tinis of "nervousness." i The medical director of a sana i torium for nervous patients once ex- plained that very often patients, moro j often women, come in for rest, or j for the treatment of various coin 1 plaints when the only need is rest, j and when ordered to hefl they all but ref jse. Such persons, after being compelled to remain in bed for three or four days, often say at the end of that time that feel much worse than when they first entered. And this . indeed is true. They had lived in high tension so long they could not relax and "let go" of themselves. Theru was an actual physical exhaustion which they had not realized until a forced rest broke this high nervous tension. When they did relax the real exhaustion was felt. After once se curing relaxation, then, this doctor explained, it is easy to build up tho wasted strength a'ld recovery is rapid, Let's take this doctor's statement as a valuable tip. If relaxation will cure nervousness, relaxation will pr vent nervousness. Hut. the busy housewife replies with almost scorn in her laugh, "when can I relax? There is never a mo ment for rest at my house." The re ply should be, "But Oiere is always timi to do things that must be done, and sufficient relaxation and rest are things that must be done if health and usefulness are preserved." Let the nervous woman sit down for, a moment each morning and de 'liberately plan her work for the day. Allow abundant time for each task to be completed before beginning anoth. er and follow the schedule. Always include in the scheule a period of rest. Perhaps nine out of ten will ridi cule this suggestion and say it is impossible, and it is impossible if you will not try. But those who try it usually succeed, and, what is more, they soon develop an attitude of poise Kodgcrs with murder in connection with the death of her son, Preston, Jr., who was mysteriously shot in her home here December 31. Present ments were also made against Mrs. Lolita ('lurk and Mrs. Bonnie Bastu who were participants in a "petting party" the night of the tragedy. Revenue Commissioner Doughton reports state income and other spe cial tax collection for February wcro $0H2, 830.52, an increase over Janu ary of more than $400,000, and a small advance over the corresponding month last year. Income, $77,734.05; inher itance, $20,039.59; schedule "B" $3), 737.47; schedule "C", $40,981.15; bus taxes, $13,759.30; insurance, $464, 718.96. The first half of March is expected to show even a greater gain. Returning from a meeting of thi National Education Association in Washington, I). C, State Superintend ent A. T. Allen lets it be known that he is in full accord with the sugges tion to create a department of educa tion in the federal government, the head of which shall be a member of the President's cabinet. Mr. Allen feels that education is one of tho biggest problems of the country and should by no means be considered a local problem.- The agitation is only in the initial stage and it will prob ably be years before friends of the movement can "pat themselves on the back." A tour of inspection of the fish hatcheries of the State has been in progress during the week, the inves tigation being conducted by Henry O'Mollery, commissioner of the Fed eral Burea of Fisheries, and G. C. Leach, Chief of the Division of Fish Culture of the bureau in North Care lina. The two investigations were welcome visitors to the Governor's office while their work was in pro gress. The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce is to "dine" Frank Page, chairman of the State Highway Commission, at the Sir Walter on the evening of March 18th. in appreciation of the service he has rendered in the ca pacity of road builder. Governor McLean is honorary chairman of the committee on arrangements and will preside at the dinner, the hosts being the directors of the organization, and the event to be state wide.
