QUEEN MA.
U. S. A. IS I
Arrives in Paris on Her Way
Back to Rumania After
Her Tour
PRINCE CAROL IS
NOT AT STATION
Ferdinand Expresses Opposition
to Former Heir Apparent
PARIS, Nov. 30. ? "Wonderful,
wonderful, that country of yours!"
Thus graphically Queen Marie of
Rumania, described to the Associated
Press correspondent her impression
of America, from which she
has just returned.
The queen reached Cherbourg on
the Berengaria this morning and
came by train to Paris, reaching
here shortly before midnight. She
alighted from her coach with almost
a girlish skip. Then, turning to
Prince Nicholas and Princess Illeana
she said, ".come children, let's get to
bed."
Meanwhile, the official spokesman
of the party confided to the correspondent
that he was so sur0 of the
good impression the queen's visit had
made in the United States that in
the near future a big loan could be
raised, based on the increased knowledge
America now has of Rumania
resources. He even ventured the
hope that the loan might reach the
sunt of $500,000,000.
The representative of the government
emphasized that Queen Marie
had not asked for a loan during her
tour, of the United States. She
merely, said the spokesman, "put
Rumania on the map," so that when
the time comes to talk of a loan
American nnanciai circles win nave
a far beter comprehension of Rumania's
latent possibilities.
The queen believes that the Rumanian
court is awaiting her presence
and permission before deciding
upon a surgical operation on King
Ferdinand. Her present intention is
to lake the train for Bucharest on
Wednesday night or Thursday at the
latest.
The former crown priuce was not
present to greet his mother at the
station.

CLARK'S 5
HEARD
Delivers Impressive Sermon Bef
Memorial Church Pasto:
Church at Was
REV. CLARK HAS BEEN A W
IS CONSIDERED AUTHO
The setting for the sermon could ;
not have been improved. The quiet, j
peaceful surroundings, the pictures- '
que church overgrown with vines, the
rich notes of the organ, the sunlight
streaming through the stained glass
windows, the speaker with his background
of pastoral expeirence, the
calmness of his face, the spiritual
warmth of the man; all contributed
to give reverence, dignity and attention
to the words of the speaker.
Dr. Clark took for his text the
32nd verse of the 18th chapter of
Isaiah: "And My people shall dwell
in a peaceful habitation and in a
sure dwelling." No attempt is here
made to give more than a brief review
of his sermon. The preacher
dwelt especially on that portion" of
the text ibat speaks of the "sure
dwellings" of God's people.
Earthly Habitations
In speaking of earthly habitations,
I Dr. Clark said his thoughts went
back t0 Italy, to the road from Amalfi
to Ravello where there are many
i little huts that cling to the mountain
sides like brancles to the side
of a vessel, that at -Vay moment
might be torn from their moorings
Unsure dwellings. He also spoke of
climbing Mt. Vesuvius where the
burning lava as it flowed down the
mountain sida had destroyed an entire
village, with the exception of a
little church. In such a place people
must dwell in unsure dwellings.
Dwell in Pure Dwellings
People often live in the unsure
dwellings of their emotions, dread,
fear, apprehension of financial loss.
But if their faith, their hope, their
lives are anchored in God then they
dwell in sure dwellings." All the
strain of doubt and uncertainty is removed.
God is the true foundation on
which our lives should be built, the
sustaining anchorage of our hopes
which despells unrest and apprehension.
Dr. Clark had asked anumber of
men these vital questions which
must be ever recurring to all thoughtful
minds. "Who is God? Where is
God? Are you conscious of God?
Who is Christ? How did He differ
from man? Where do you go when
' you die? To these vital questions
there answers were always evasive,
their thoughts confused. Give me
something to hold to, some anchorage
for the soul, has been the cry
of mankind in all ages. And the answer
of the tevt is God's answer to 1
this cry: "My people sholl dwell in '
sure dwellings in a peaceful habita- 1
tion." 1

Flames at Pearson Sanitarium
BLAZE CAUSE UNKNOWN
Fire of unknown origin at noon
Wednesday caused ten patients of
the Pearson sanitarium on Pearson
drive to take refuge in the streets
and destroyed the roof and upper
story doing damage estimated at $5,000.
The fire started in the root, it is
thought by the firemen, and spread
quicklyto other parts of the building.
The structure was in full blaze
when the firement from the central
Btation reached the scene, though no
time was lost, they said in getting
the fire fighting apparatus there.
No one was injured. Several of
the patients had been carried out
before^the firemen arrived and the
others were able to leave the buid- X
ing without assistance.
Two hose lines were used and the
time taken to extinguish the blaze
was only five minutes firemen said.
The patients were taken into neigh,
boring houses temporarily.
The patients will be moved back
into the building before Wednesday
night it was anounced by sanatar- ,
ium attendants.

FRANKLIN, Nov. 30. ? Franklin
people are rejoicing over the letting
of two road contracts in Georgia
which bring nearer the completion of
a paved road between Asheville and
Atlanta.
The contracts in question are for
six miles of rolled base construction
in Rabun county and eight miles of
grading in Habersham, between
Clarksville and Clayton.
The rolled base construction in Rabun,
a county adjoining North Ca
roiina, win extend irom Mountain
City to Tiger, and Highway Commissioner
J. N. Holder of Georgia is
quoted as having agreed to put the
remainder of the highway through
Raban county as soon as the fills
nave settled sufficiently.
Later a top dressing will be placed
on tihis '.base. Meanwhile, the
itone base road may be used satislactorily.
jh
The road ds easily passable now i
although under construction, and
jars travel it daily. Ordinarily, the
antire route from Atlanta to Asherille
may be made without the use
if chains.
