Bociai Editor TWINKLES We may laugh at some of the answers the elemen tary schoof children-gave in their achievement tests the other day, but it would be a scream to see what answers some of our older grads would give on questions prepar ed on present day college and university subjects. The North Garolina Association of Real Estate Boards is sending out literature over the state in defense of the «ales tax. One of the enclosures is an automo bile' sticker saying “We support the sales tax to help the state and to help the schools.” We wonder if the real estate men are more interested in education than they are in keeping the tax off of real property. Down in York county, all dogs are having to stay in after school. A city ordinance says whenever there is a mad-dog .scare in thfc community, the mayor may in voke the law' and compel the owners of all dogs to keep them on their own premises for sixty days. A number dogs showed symptoms of rabies this week and Mayor Wray has invoked restraint. If the owners don’t obey, he will lock up both owner and dog. A SEDITIOUS MOVE A certain Charlotte citizen has asked that the 400, 000 owners of motor vehicles resist paying the present scale of prices for automobile license tags. Now the gentleman is going too far, bordering on sedition to ask rebellion against the laws of the state. The price of the tags^may be more than some want to pay, but all should comply with the law until it is changed. We have not yet been convinced that the price of tags should he low ered. Many office seekers have made “reduction” a plank in their platform, not knowing that it may cause our system of highways to deteriorate or the state to defauli on it# bonds. No citizen has a right to urge rc bellfon against the laws of our land. If the laws are unpopular, there is a way provided to correct or change them. BANDITS DEAD OR ALIVE .‘Federal and State governments arc determined to put R stop to banditry in America and from the number of arrests and convictions within recent months, ban ditry is on the wane. The House of Representatives re cently passed a bill, one of several crime-wave measures, authorizing a reward of not exceeding $25,000 for the arrest of a. public enemy, dead or alive. Before the malefactor could be adjudged a public enemy, however, the measure provided that he must have been convicted at leiast one time. The law has the very best intentions, but Is it a safe law? Attorney General Cummings has studied it and wants a change, to which all will agree. He proposes that the payment of the reward not be con ditioned on the public enemy being brought in “dead.” Too -many innocent people might be killed in “bringing ’em In dead.” So the reward will go for “live" public enemies. THE NEWSPAPER Those who would censor and restrict the service the modem newspaper offers to its readers, must have for gotten Bill Nye’s classic definition of a newspaper given as far back as 1885. ■“The newspaper of today is a library,” he said. "It is an encyclopedia, a poem, a biography, a history, a prophecy, a directory, a time-table, a romance, a cook book, a guide, a horoscope, an art critic, a political re sume, a ground plan of the civilized world, a low-priced multym in parvo. It is a sermon, a song, a circus, an obituary, a picnic, a shipwreck, a symphony in solid bre vier, a medley of life and death, a grand aggregation of man’s glory and his shame. It is, in short, a bird’s-eye view of all the magnanimity and meanness, the joys and grief*, the births and deaths, the pride and poverty of the world, and all for two cents—sometimes. Among others, it is a long-felt want, a nine-column paper in a five-eolumn town, a lying sheet, a feeble effort, a fnian cial problem, a tottering wreck, a political tool and a sheriffs sale.” THE TEACHER ASKS BREAD Now and again comes a news story, competently written as news, that transcends any editorial that might be made on the subject. From our Raleigh cor respondent, M. R. Dunnagan, we take this: “Public school teachers, whose schools are now closing, are registering at reemployment offices all over the State for jobs during the four months of vacation in order to carry on until the so hols start in the full again. Capua M. Way nick, federal director of reeniploymeni m this State, states. *JMr. Waynick points out that during the eight months of teaching the salaries have been so low that practically all received by the teachers was used in meet ing their living expenses and that now, as their schools aie closing, they arc face to face with the requirement | of supplemental jobs in order to live until school starts again. ‘This brings home to me their plight more forc ibly than anything else I have experienced,' said Mr. j Waynick. He feels that there will be literally thousands i of teachers #seeking summer jobs this year.” IN THE INTEREST OF FAIR PLAY According to the Charlotte Observer, the friends of Candidate Hamilton Jones “berate” Speaker Rainev of the House of Representatives for "meddling” in the con gressional election in this district. The Jones support ers cited an article in the “Merry-Go-Round” in which it was charged that Speaker Rainey thought Congress man Bulwinkle eligible for the “black-list,” said black list being those members of Congress who had failed to give full support to President Roscvelt in his recovery | program. Speaker Rainey countered by saying that Bulwinkle had voted in support of every administration measure and Speaker Byrns endorses Bulwinkle 100 per cent. Because of these endorsements, Commander Ham ilton of the Veterans of Foreign Wars takes a crack at the two Democratic leaders Rainey and Byrns, charg ing they have no right to “interfere” in the tenth dis trict election. Now the question is whether Bulwinkle has been “blacklisted.” The writers of the political column in Washington say Speaker Rainey “blacklisted” the North Carolina congressman on the stock market bill. Speak er Rainey denies this and the Democratic floor leader Byrns comes forward with a statement that Bulwinkle has been and is behind the administration. They should *now better than the political writers. It is entirely proper for them to tell the voters of the tenth district • bout Bulwinkle’s record. What they say is not “inter fering.” They are in a position to know Bulwinkle's po sition on administration measures. The truth about the matter is, Mecklenburg forces are trying their best to elect our good friend Hamilton Jones to Congress. Consequently they seek to attack Bulwihkle’s record. In the interest of fair play, we contend that Bulwinkle has been a supporter of administration measures, be I cause Rainey and Byrns say so. They have a right to i say in spite of the fact that Mecklenburg thinks they should keep their mouths shut when Mecklenburg wants a political office. Nobody’s Business By GEE McGEE Something New Under the San flat rock, s. C, may 13, 1934 mr. henry walls, .seeker-terry of agger-culture, [Washington, d.

Feminine Curves O.K.OitBeaches, But Male Torso Shocks Censors\ NEW YORK, May 17—The girls [who go down to the sea in shorts Itliis summer will be more chary of I their charms than they were in the |dangerous summer of 1933. accord ing to a bathing suit survey made ! today by conscientious surveyors at some of America's most popular re sorts. j In line with the more conserva tive styles, there was noted a dis position on the part of the police to be more lenient in drawing the line between social custom and techni cal nudity. The girls can wear pret ty much what they please, provid ing there is no apparent intention to shock the beholders. | Most officials, from Coney Island land Atlantic City on the east to the .star-dotted sands of Malibu Beach, I Hollywood, will continue to regard the' male chest with abhorrence, and exposure of it will bring pun ishment under the indecency laws. What the female beach-comber intends to deny the male eye, how ever, will be compensated by the variety of styles, colors, and mater ials with which the human torso will be embellished. There are five popular materials -gingham, rubber, silk, wool and :elanesc. The celanese suits are not, is might be hoped, as transparent is the wrapper on a clgaret pack ige, nor will they disintegrate, to he embarrassment of the wearer, if lubjected to the waves.
