Nobody s Business By GEE McGEE Due-Drop* I was talk.ng to a man the other day and he said, "Everything In the world has gone down: why alnt con ditions normal?" I explained to him that while everything In the world that grows out of the earth or is dug out of the earth is cheaper, the following tilings have not declined: 1— Postage stamps 2— Freight rates 3 —Telephone rates, fyet). 4. —Passenger fares (generally). 5. —Pullman fares 6. —Taxes 7—Street car rides 8.—Hospital costs 9—Cutting out gall stones 10. —a as rates H.—Automobile tags 12,—Most federal jobs 11. —Oold-rimmed specs 14. —Just specs 15. —Motor oil 16. —Moth balls 17. —Church dues (If possible) It.—Dog tax It—Speed oops 31—And pig chitterlings. I think it would be much better if we would sell the Philippines to Japan instead of just turning ’em over to her. We might as well move out and begin charging those folks duty on their stuff. We are losing money on those islands at present. Japan seems to like her China, and might not want any more countries for a while. They ought to fetch about 1,000,000 yen a little later on. The best way to treat the “lame ducks” la—give each one of them a pair of crutches and let them walk heme, The voters will seel that they never wander off into politics again. Had it not been for lame ducks, we would have 25,000 fewer bureaus and commissions and useless jobs. Most of the discarded congressmen are holding Jobs that they don't know a darned thing about. Most of my customers went off the gold standard in 1029. They forsook the silver standard in 1030. They discarded the green back In 1931. They abandoned the bank check standard in 1032. Now they are swapping eggs and pullets and turnip sallet for the things I have and cant sell for money, as there ain't any money any more.

Metropolitan Opera In Financial Crisis New York.—'The Metropolitan op era. after 50 years existence, faced a financial crisis fraught with gravity forthe ft lure of opera if New York. The estimated deficit for the current season, despite eco nomies, was set at •'.bout *350,OOC by the New York Times. i Lindsay Warren Economy Leader In Congress Now Tar Heel Has Unpopular Job Of Cutting Down Eipenwi In Loww House. Washington—The finger of econ omy Is poking here and there about the House of Representatives these days and leaving a few rather touchy spots behind. And although the savings in the end likely will not amount to a big portion of total expenses, they will I represent a considerable achieve-j ment. For instance, in a year the House i accounts committee has haved about #6,000 in tolls on telegrams. That Is not much compared with the #80, 000 that went for this purpose last year, but the men who' seek econo my believe It Is a step in the di rection they want to go. The onus of watching much of the expenditure falls on Represen tative Lindsay Warren, young North Carolina Democrat, and the Ac counts Committee he heads. As he thought about It today, Warren said: "We are watching every penny we can watch. I am doing the best I can, and with the full co-operation of the members of the committee, Republican and Democratic." One thing the committee has done Is send a letter to every one of the 435 members, saying: "Blocks of Identic telegrams to a list of newspaper addresses, tele grams in the nature of news, con gratulations, condoleces or of a po litical or personal nature, are not official and will be charged back to the members. No telephone call carrying any toll will be considered as official. "The Committee on Accounts has no authority to O. K. cablegrams of any nature.” Because of this ruling, some two dozen months that telegrams and cables they sent will not be paid for by the government. They have to pay for them themselves. Warren's committee also has abol ished bonuses to special clerks as signed from government depart ments to House committees and paid by the department. It has not created a single new office. It has approved and reported for House action a resolution to limit funeral parties to give members from House and Senate, and it has refused to pay more than #400 for a casket for a deceased member. The Accounts Committee has held recently that transcripts of testi mony sent to persons outside Con gress must be paid for by some body other than the government. It has refused to authorize employ ment of special Investigators. Kenneth Romney, sergeant-at arms. is watching the funeral bills, too. For Instance, he received one last week asking #652.50. He sent it back with a letter saying that he will allow only $130 of that total. And when special stenographers, deputies, clerk or workmen are em ployed by any House member or official, their pay fares Just the same as that of all th$ other simi lar employes-they get an 8 1-3 per cent cut. Some few members say privately they don't like it—but they take it. Reynolds Praised By Kingfish Long "Kingflsh" Expect* N. C. And Geor gia Senator* To Be Real Progressive*. Atlanta.—Huey Long, United States senator from Louisiana, said he was no tworried about the sena torial investigation into Louisiana election activities. adding that "they have Investigated me so much until I’m beginning to think there might be something wrong with me.” "They’ve looked under the beds and swept the floors but have found nothing," he said. "It’s been so frc ■ quent, and there have been so man- ! spies and snoopers in Louisiana th- , I can’t keep a dog or house cat 01 the place.” Long said Senators Richard B Russell. jr„ and Robert R. Rey nolds, of Georgia and North Caro Una respectively, would be “out standing Progressives after the Democrats come into full power. You can Just watch these two fel lows. They’ll be in the senate long after we’ve driven that gang of eastern diplomats out of business, j — Terrier Pup Gets Glass Eye Fitted Burlington,—"Spot ” a terrier be longing to C. N. Harper, of Park avenue, had a new eye today re placing one lost in a fight with another dog, though it isn’t much for "looks” except from the view point of plastic surgery. Dr. P. M. Abernethy fixed "Spot with a new optic, a glass one which matches perfectly the one lost in the scuffle, but no good at all for a side glance from the right side. Like most dogs, however, “Spot' depends on his whisker* and his keen nose to direct him places where he considers he has business to go. Launching of New French Liner The new French liner “President Downer," named for the French Chief Executive who met his death at the hands of an assassin, is shown as it slid down the ways at La Ciotat, near Marseilles, at its launching. The new luxury liner when completed will be a model of safety from accident* of every description and. In addition, will be fireproof. The family of the late President attended the launching ceremonies. Financier Sounds Optimistic Note, Thinks Conditions To Improve Soon Say* After Midyear Country Will Walk Out Of De pression. New York—Before the end of this year, technocracy and other theories will be discredited, the na tional budget will be balanced, gov ernment expenses will be reduced straight through and the fear of so cialistic legislation will. have been overcome, all of which wil restore confidence which in turn will stim ulate buying. This is the opinion of Ross Beasori. president of the Ad ministrative and Research Corpor ation. New York, expressed in a personal letter to a friend wherein Mr. Be aeon gives a remarkable an alysis of present business and fi nancial conditions upon which he bases his conclusions. Incidentally. Mr. Benson express es the hope that the six-hour day and the five-dry week will be gen erally In use before the end of the year, for he sees no other way to give employment to Individuals who have been replaced by machinery in recent years. "I think our big task Is to bridge over this winter in such a manner as to take care of the very serious unemployment situation," said Mr. Season. “The figures usually used here are 12 million unemployed and 12 million part time employed and tire remainder of the employed burdened with more than usual expenses incident to taking care of the unemployed family members, etc." Mr. Beason Is impressed that the bottom has been passed both in in dustrial and security prices and ex presses his belief that the country is going back and fill between now and about mid-year and that “then wre are going to walk right out of the depression.” "I do not think that there is any question but what there is a lot of money," said Mr. Beason. “The 10 year average of money in circula tion prior to 1930 was $4,850,000,000. Today It Is almost a billion dollars in excess of this, notwithstanding that the commercial transactions are lighter and less cash la requir ed. Therefore, T am convinced that this billion dollars and possibly more represents hoarding. I am al so convinced that the extreme li •• idity of Eastern banks means ex * me liquidity on the part of a lot tf individuals. "I am very hopeful of a continu ous but cautious wave of buying be ginning in June, and of creeping price advances.” continued Mr. Bea son. “I m not at all sure but that prices will advance substantially be tween now and June. I feel sure that after Congress meets on March 4 and the preliminary foolish bills are dirposed of, that definite prog ress will be made in the restoration of confidence and that this will be manifested by afflrmrtlve action within 60 to 90 days thereafter. “The thing that impresses me Is the fact that human desires have not radically changed but are mere ly repressed. Today it is not good form for a woman to flaunt a new dress in front of her less fortune to sisters, and the home pressure for a new automobile is not present when the neighbors on each side are using the old car. But the de sire for better shelter, food and clothing is still there and the pres ent repression under which it la bors will be released as soon as the neighbors on each side get a new car, and as soon as it is no longer bad form to flaunt a new dress. "I realize that the purchasing power has been cut down, but It is generally conceded that purchases have fallen off a great deal more than purchasing power. Therefore, there is a backed up demand which industry must supply. Today it is easy for the merchant to buy from hand to mouth, but when the rail roads have a fuller volume of traf fic and the manufacturers have ad vance orders, it will again be ne cessary for merchants to take an inventory, end it seems to me that before the year is over industry will be producing to supply three things: **1. Backed-up demand: “2. Inventory requirements of merchants; ‘‘3, Current demand of consumers. “The officials of several of the larger banks here believe that 1933 v.ill be better than 1932, but only slightly better. They say that tire first half will not be as good as the average of the year, and the second half will be better. I am not sure that I agree with them. I think 1933 is goilng to be substantially better than 1932 because before the end of the year technocracy and other theories will be discredited; our budget will be balanced; reduction will have been made in govern mental expenses straight through, and the fear of any socialistic leg islation will have been overcome All of these things will create a re storation of confidence, and we can only have buying If we have con fidence. "I am extremely hopeful that we will get a six-hour day and a five day Week before the year is over, I see no other way to give employ ment to individuals who have been replaced by machiery in recent years. One company here has very quietly gone on a five-day week without any pay reduction. I think that property owners are going to be faced with the alternative of grace fully accepting this or of having their property taken away from them through tax legislation and related action.” County Boy Speaks At Wake Forest Wake Forest, Feb. 6.—Using “World Peace" as his subject, Zon R. Robinson of Mooresboro repre sented the Emelian literary society of Wake Forest college in the an nual inter-society orator's contest which was a part of its 99th Found er’s Day exercises. Robinson is a son of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Robinson. He is retiring president of the society he repre sented. “Weather Fi*h” Now Give* The Forecast i Charlotte.—Roy Goode, high [school student, never worries I whether the rain will catch him un aware for he has a weather fish, i A weather fish, that Is, that tells i If it will rain or not. Goode says that, if the day is to be sunny, the fish swims calmly and complacently in his pool but, if a storm is brewing, the fish darts about frantically. Goode says the fish never falls to prognosticate correctly. Thirty-fqur Caswell county firm er* saved $250 by cooperating to get 144 cows tested Tor tuberculosis and 23 tested for abortion by a com petent veterinarian Atheist-Murderer Cries For Priest On Way To Chair Ossining, N. Y.—"I’m not afraid to burn,” boasted William Turner called "three-gun” Turner. But Friday, a few hours before he was to die for doing murder In a New York speakeasy, his mother talked to him. When he persisted In his declaration of atheism she turned away, saying. "Then you must go to perditalon But you will never meet me there.” The condemned man sobbed and called for a clergyman. At 11:04 p. m. he entered the execution chamber of Sing Sing prison. At 11 :W p. m. he was dead. Drop* Into Poetry (Oscar Coffin on the Hitch-Hiking Bill, in the Greensboro News.) The Raleigh News and Observer, under the caption "Is Not a Crime,' on Tuesday morning printed the fol lowing: "There are evils about hitch-hik ing, but there are compensation, too. College students impart klowl edge to those good enough to trans port them. It is best not to make too many laws. Hitch-hiking is not a criminal practice and should not be made a crime by law.” To which our Muse, after consid erable prodding, responded with a parody of “Can I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight, Mister?” Give me a ride In your car, Mister, It's cold out here on the ground. My pedal extremities are aching And I’ve got no place to sit down. You may ask me how long I've been roaming And leading this kind of a life; And now, kind Mister, I’ll tell you, Though It tears through my heart like a knife. I left the campus this morning As the chapel bell called me to prayers; For the boys In the dorm were all hiklrtg And I’ve never been one to take dares, We are all headed for Raleigh, Where we hope girls from 8t. Mary's and Peace Will from the heartburning of learning Give our tired hearts an hour of surcease. I will sit in the front with you, Mister, Tell a Scotch or a prohibition joke, And I’ll share your cigarettes or li quor— If you’ve something to drink or to smoke. Cumberland county tobacco growers will try out the new plan of covering their plant beds with grain straw this season. Several demonstration beds have been ar ranged.

Kawtsnu Jklt» C* Jan lCe Famous Colored Educator Is Dead Dinah Watts Pace, Bom In Slav ery, Established School For Orphans. Covington, Ga„ Feb. 3.—Dinah Watts Pace—she was born in slav ery but kept “inching along” until she educated 465 girls and 235 boys —is dead. The 80-year-0ld negro woman was burned recently and died of the injuries. Dinah was a slave of the Alex ander family of Athens. She start ed from scratch and got a college education. Then she came here to teach. It was in 1884, when lwo„prp.ham i were left in her care, that she re I solved to teach orphans. She took as her motto. "We are inching along,’’ and the words were put to music as a graduation exercise song. A two-room cabin with dry goods boxes for furniture was her first school room. Later Mrs. A. C. Reed of Mcnchester, Vt., gave her $1,000 and she built a 10-room house and named it the “Reed House and School.” Later she bought a little farm and each child In her care was given a Job working the soil. She took boys and girls off the street and educated them. The county helped, and soon her school was a going concern. Fire wrecked her girls' dormitory in 1917, but she kept "inching along” anyway. There Is no record that any of her wards have ever been in hands of the lawr. This era has nothing like the Chinese Wall except Burn's book and movies to keep vagrants out ot Dixie.
