War Debt Owed United States Growing Alarmingly, Is Shown World Owes Uncle Sam More Than $25,000,000,000 And Obliga tion Is Increasing. The world owes the United Stairs more than $25,000,000,000 and the debt Is Increasing every year. Interest on this Indebtedness ex ceeds $1,000,000,000 annually ami ♦here is a trade balance in favor of the United States which is piling up another $1,000,000,000 each year, government figures reveal. In order to meet these payments and maintain exchange balances, foreign countries have been borrow ing in the United States between $1,000,000,000 and $1,5000,000,000 yearly since 1923. The difference between these tar rowings and the $2,000,000,000 which must be paid annually is account d for by America's “Invisible” ex BLOATED FEELING Awi Other Trouble* Went Away After This South Carolinian Had Taken Black-Draught. Ttn, & C.~“I have used Black* Draught, at Intervals, for about five years,** says Mr. J. P. Gilliland, of this place. “I take It for indigestion. "After eating, I would have a light, bloated feeling, and pains In my chest and stomach. I would spit up my food, and some things I ate would not agree with me at all. "I would be hungry, but afraid to eat on account of the indigestion. I would be constipated, too. "Some one told me that I should try Black-Draught, which I did, with good results. I take Just a •mall dose after meals, and I feel like a different person. **I do not have any more trouble of that kind. I can now eat al most anything I want to, at any time, and It does not hurt me. •'Black-Draught Is a splendid medicine. Z can recomend It to others.” Thousands of people have found relief. In cases of common Indiges tion. by taking a pinch of Black Draught after meals, and continuing this treatment for several days. Take Thedford's Black-Draught It is purely vegetable and acts In a helpful way. without .the bad effects of mineral drugs._ nc-199 SKckbmught IndififttiOn Hiliou pollution of gold.

Europe, hope to make an eventual repayment of this huge debt if they must borrow money from America to mert constantly using interest charges?" lie replied; •'There are only three ways if which, payments of international debts can be made: through the shipment by debtor to creditor of gold, commodities or services, or ov 'invisible' exports of gold from creditor to debtor. Getting down to economic bed rock. the world must unload at American piers $2f>.000.000.000 worth of commodities, or supply their equivalent in gold, services and hos pitality to tourists, in order to liqui date this debt "Obviously this cannot, be dona while America’s exports rise faster than imports, and for that reason.

Some competent authorities, lie disclosed, saw' nothing in the pres ent situation resembling a financial merry-go-round They disagree sharply, he said, with the theory that the present world economic situation is like a dog chasing its tail and believe that the day of reckoning ran be postponed in definitely. This hope is based on a wider dis tribution of obligations If anybody has to go to war again we hope the first fellow con scripted will be the smart aleck who blows hts horn behind several other ears who are held up by a traffic light and can’t move. r BOILING SPRINGS COLLEGE A Baptist, eo-educational junior college in the TMed mont, midway between Charlotte and Asheville.

Nell Battle Lewis, who incidenta'. izcs in the Raleigh News and Ob server. has been conducting a poll among her readers to find the popu lar choice for the 12 most vivid per sonalities in North Carolina. Yes terday she announced the final vote as follows: "The Hen. Clyde Hoey, 132; tne Hon. Josephus Danieis, 130; lho Hon. Cameron Morrison, 121; Kh Excellency O. Max Gardner. 119; Col. Fred A.

Thomas Bost. 5G, and Dr. Harry W. Cha.se. 63. ’ We are not at all sure that t1’? matter makes one particle of dif ference one way or the other, but ive find ourself interested in the sur prising sense and saneness of the final vote. The fact remains that Clyde Hoey really is about the ir.osi livid personality in North Carolina, ind that with one or two exceptions ;he entire list would stand as or - >wn selection. Still contending that t is a matter of no importance wn find ourself speculating as to l.v rause and motive. Undoubted;1:, vhrn a majority of the 132 persons .oted for Clyde Hoey they had his 'lery eloquence of the last Demc ■ratic State convention in mine. Mis speech was the most dramatic >f that very dramatic meeting. Our act is that he won at least half of its votes as the most vivid person ility in North Carolina at this thru.

Every mother’s son of us also knows that Sinclair gas and Opaline oil arc pro ducts of national popular ity.

HOEY ADVERTISE IN THE STAR Jbr Zeanemlcal Trontportation 7 CHEVROLET ^Ihe Chevrolet Six offers all the Distinct Advantages of BODY bg FISHER STYLE The new Fisher bodies on the Chev rolet Six are unusually smart and attractive. Concave front pillars lengthen the profile—the effect of the side paneling extends well up over the roof line—and all rear quarters are artistically molded. COMFORT In comfort, too, these new Fisher bodies represent a marked advance. The seats are deeply cushioned. Upholstery is “built-up” for added luxuriousness. And the driver’s seat Is easily adjustable, forward and back. STRENGTH Another outstanding feature of these new Fisher bodies is their sturdy construction- Built of selected hard wood and steel, they provide a measure of strength, endurance and safety that is unapproached in any other low-priced car. QUIETNESS As a result of their composite wood and steel construction, Chevrolet’s new Fisher bodies are exceptionally quiet. The roof is padded to pre» vent nimble. And wherever wood and metal contact, a layer of insu* lation prevents noise. APPOINTMENTS All hardware fittings on Chevrolet enclosed bodies are designed and built by Temstedt. Door handles are of the remote control type—window lifts are smart and convenient—and all exterior bright metal parts are chromium-plated. FINISH No single feature of Chevrolet bodies has created more widespread com* ment than their beautiful finish made possible by the superlatively smooth surface of the steel body panels. Applied against this silken ( surface, Chevrolet finishes are uni* form, lustrous and permanent.
