LONG TERM FOR
STATE SCHOOLS
HATED UNLIKELY
State Capitol Hardly Thinks l.egis
lature Will Bfltrr Thr
Schools.
Raleigh. An right months school
term for thr entire state by legis
lative enactment is not regarded
here as more than a remote possi
bility, despite the detailed and
definite statement issued Monday
by the North Carolina Education
Association, in which the associa
tion claimed that an eight months
school term would lower taxes,
rnthrr than increase them -provid
ed the state equalizing fund would
bo boosted to from $5,000,000 to $7,
000.000 a year or more.
However, there arc a number of
obstacles in the” part of the eight
months school term through the en
largement of the equalizing fund,
which are bound to have weight
with the Incoming general assem
bly.
• First, perhaps, is the tact men
t ioned last week in a statement
from Governor-elect O. Max Gard
ner, that already 75 per rent of
the children in North Carolina are
ui schools having terms of eight
months or more, and a statement
made during the same week by
Odtis M. Mull, of Shelby, and a
member of the 1929 general assem
taly from Cleveland county, ana gen
erally credited with being as close
to Governor Gardner as anyone in
the state, that it was not likely
thnt this legislature will either au
thorize (he submission of an amend
ment railing for the eight months
term, or provide It through legisla
tive means, since there is already
adequate niarhinery for any coun
ties that desire it to have an eight
months school term.
These two statements by Goverr,
nor-elect Gardner and Mr. Mull are j
least arc not in tavor of compelling
those counties that do not want
more than a six months term to'
have it, and to leave the question
of nti right months school as it
now is -on the county option basis.
Not that Governor Gardner and
Mr. Mull are not in lavor of a
longer school term—for both Of
them are in favor of the longer term.
But they evidently think it best
for the longer term to come about
gradually, r,t the Instigation of the
counties themselves, ,fhan to bring
it about all at one time by state
wide edict.
It la also generally understood
that both Governor Gardner and
the majority of the members of the
general assembly are in favor of a
liberal equalisation fund. But
whether they will be in favor of an }
equalization fund large enough to'
provide an eight- months school in i
all the counties in the state ts
another matter. For it is admit-1
tedly no easy task to find the reve-:
nue sources necessary to yield the/
$4,000,000 or $5,000,000 above the\
usual amount necessary that would
be needed to support an eight
months school throughout the state.;
The plan as proposed by the legis
lative committee of the North Caro- !
lina Education Association sounds
simple and plausible, and undoubt- j
edly would do what the commit
tee claims -lower taxes on land In
the counties for the support of the
schools. But It. would also saddle
the expense of the taxes removed
which in turn, would be passed on
to business and industry. And busi
ness and industry already are clam
oring that they are bearing all
of the lax burden that they can
stand in the state, and then some.
Another drawback to the com
mittees plan is that it, proposes
to raise the increased revenue by
means ol a sales tax on various
commodities, such as cigarettes and,
manufactured tobacco products, and]
upon generated electric power. Fojr,
while tax experts agree that the,
sales tax is undoubtedly a legiti-1
mate tax. It Is also agreed that it
Is In reality a tax upon the con
sumer, and that It Is also a difficult
tax to collect and administer.
But still another obstacle in the
way of imposing a sales tax in North j
Carolina is first the fact thrr North
Carolina general assemblies have
consistently been opposed to any
form of the sales tax, and have re- j
falned from imposing it. Second, j
it is being recalled that something j
over a year ago. Governor Gardnei
expressed himself as being decidedly
opposed to the sales tax. in an
address before the North Carolina
Retail Druggist Association in
Greensboro.
So everything considered, it is I
generally agreed here that the
omens arc not propitious for the
eight months school term by legisla
tive enactment.

Pastors Opposing
Religion Revision
New York.—New York pastors of
various denominations, with one
exception, raised a chorus of pro
test from their pulpits against the!
statement of Prof. Harry Emerson
Barnes, of Smith college that mod
ern science demands a revision of
religion and a new concept of God
The one pastor who agreed with
Prof. Barnes was John Hayes
Holmes of the Community church
who said "we should have a £elig-;
ion to fit our times."
Prof. Barnes made his plea for!
a new re'.gics foundation in an
address before a sectional meeting
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Scifnco, which Is
I in session here.
“We must cease talking of God,”,
| he sttii. "We must supplant theol
ogy by mental hygiene.’ "Srience
has shown it to be difficult to prove
the very existence cf God "
Cardinal Hayes from tlie pulp.*
of St. Patrick's Cathedral, said that
"it is the fashion of the day to see
conflict and contraditlbn between
religion and science.'* but that
"true religion reverses true science,'
rejoicing in its unfolding of the
beauties ol nature because it make;
manifest the omnipotent intelli
gence of God." j
Rev. Christian F. Resiner, Meth
odist, charged Prof. Barnes with
being "unfair, because he is not
familiar with modern theology,".
"As well might 1 undertake to rrit- j
eizc science in that field which he
displays."

camps v.-ljo cause the most trouble.
The foremost religious minds ore

Rev. Dr. Henry Darlington. Epis

general good of mankind. Science
builds the machinery. Religion de
cides how it shall be used.”
BEST DRESSED
575.01 TEILf
Asheville Citizen.
Here is bad news for the girls. It
costs $75,000 a year (o be among the ;
best-dressed women of the world,
and, even when that blissful con
dition is attained, it's nothing but
a source of weariness of the flesh I
and vexation of spirits, because it 1
takes up so much time and exertion ;
that the queen of clothes has neith- ,
er leisure nor strength for any
thing else.
The sad tidings com.' from Mrs.
Paul Dubonnet who. as Mrs. Jean
Nash, was known as "the best dress
ed and most extravagant woman in
the world. " On a shopping tour in
New York she told a reporter all
about it. "I go to the shops,’’ she
said, "and I order several dozen
dresses. They all need special hats,
shoes and stockings. Then I fit and
fit until I atn worn out. At Chanel
I stand for hours. Then at R-eboux
I try on hat after hat. There is the
endless process of cutting the felt j
an inch over my eye, pulling it
down over my ear. The clothes come
home. I haven't time to wear them
all. By then. I've seen other clothes
that I like better. I order them. It
is most discouraging.''
! Rising from the inanities of grief;
over the trials brought on by extra- j
vagance, Mrs. Dubonnet gave worth- i
while advice to the woman who can:
; not afford to compete tn the lists of I
the best-dressed but wants to bej
well dressed. “First,” she said, “buy
only a few clothes at a time. Sec
ond, buy simple but exquisitely fifta
clothes. Third, take time with fit
ting. Fourth, have always one per
fect costume.”
The women, she said, who lead
the world in raiment spend at least
$75,000 a year on the Job. “A decent
wrap,” she remarked casually, “costs
$50,000, and you simply can’t get a
mink coat that's fit to wear under
$12,000. But, she added, any woman
of "moderate means” needs not de
spair. “She can dress well on $10.
000 a year if she buys no furs and
no lew*-.*'"
This means, of course, that dress
can be a vice and a dissipation. The
woman who endures Mrs. Dubon
net’s pains and trials for the hollow
honor of being among the “best
dressed” gives her life to the busi
ness. Of what avail to excel in
clothing and have neither time nor
strength left for the real things of
life? Mrs. Dubonnet in* giving an
interview has preached a powerful
sermon.
The Peanut Fanner.
(From The Lumberton Robesonian)
Some farmers up Maxton way
made a pretty good thing out of
peanuts this year. They shipped
some time ago a car load which
placed $6,000 in their pockets. The
peanut growers had better luck
than those who raised other truck
crops, though they report that the
heavy rains in September packed
the ground so that many peanuts
were lost. Between 90 and 100 acres
were planted by nine farmers and
farmerettes who crganlzed a pea
nut association.

Many anticipated numerous factors
contributing to ease and safety of
control—but were amazed at such
quality car features as full ball-bear
ing steering mechanism with latest
flat-type wheel, foot controlled head
lamps and newly designed, quiet,
easy-acting four-wheel brakes.
Many were confident that the new
Chevrolet would be a comfortable
car—but were delightfully surprised
to find such outstanding comfort
features as adjustable driver’s seat in
all closed models, fully cushioned
seat backs and larger, roomier bodies.
And although everyone expected
that Fisher genius would contribute
a new note of beauty in the new
Chevrolet—no one ever dreamed
that it would be possible to achieve
in any low-priced car the elements
of beauty, luxury and safety so
worthy of direct comparison with
the finest and costliest automobiles.
If you have not already made a per

earliest convenience. The beautiful
new models are now on display on
