Car Licenses Cut,

* Special to The Star.)
RALEIGH* May 20.—Legislators
•ere long seeking and on the last
. of the general assembly finally
“ ceeclfd in getting some reduction,
"something to take back to the
folks'' m taxes* those on llcense
elates from 55 to 40 cents per 100
pounds of the weight of automo
6'on the same day, however, they
acteci a law which required that
In passenger automobiles and
ucks except school busses, be
equipped with safety glass-all of
those sold in the state after Janu
1 next—which requirement
costs from $6 to $10 more, accord
ing to estimates made on the floor
of both houses of the general as
sembly, ^
Coat Goea Up
These two laws acting Jointly
flll cost the person buying a car
next year or in any succeeding year,
several dollars more than he will
s8Vf in the reduction of automobile
license tags—and that cost Is not
only added to the cost of the car,
but it is subtracted from the reve
nues paid to the state. Into the
highway fund. Of course, the safety
glass cost Is for one time only, dur
ing the life of the car, and the plate
reduction is to continue, unless
changed by another general assem
bly, but the initial cost. In case of
, 'new car, is greater for safety glass
than the license reduction.
The minimum plate cost for the
full year Is $12.50 a year now, and
under the new law will be $8. but
the weights of present-day cars are
such that the minimum charge of
$j, beginning next January 1, will
apply only to the smaller old-model
automobiles. All of the cars in the
low price field now will require li
censes costing from $9 to $11.
The highest priced licenses now
on the heaviest passenger Cars sold
In the state reach about $32.50. The
general assembly gave a reduction
of 27.27 per cent, which would make
those license cost $23.64. But the
cost of the safety glass, If equipped
at the factory, will cost $10.00 or
more by which it is seen that the
purchaser would save $8.86, but
would have to put out $10 or more
for the safety glass. The saving on
the minimum tag cost will be $4.50,
but'even the smallest cars require
expenditure of $6 to $7 to be equip
ped with safety glass. Both cost
more if equipped after leaving fac
tories.
Initial cost of a new car is great
er therefore, even if a long-run
saving in plate costs.

Drys Will Test
All Wine Laws,
RALEIGH, May 20.—Cale K. Bur
gess, one of the State’s militant
dry leaders, said that the liquor
laws affecting 19 counties and the
wine law affecting almost the en
tire state would be contested in the
courts.
“We expect to test the validity of
the liquor laws in each county
where it is proposed to hold an el
ection on the matter,” Burgess said.
“In the event we loee in the Super
ior court. v,e expect to carry the
fight to the Supreme court,”
Burgess saio he would issue a
full statement on the matter in a
few days. The plan, he explained,
is to seeking a restraining order to
prevent the holding of the elections.
Several counties have already set
dates..
There are 16 counties and two
townships in Moore county that are
allowed under terms of the statute
to stage an election, letting the
people deciae whether they want to
open county liquor stores.
Meanwhile, it appeared today that
the new law allowing the manu
facture and sale of wine in North
Carolina might not be put into ef
fect for two weeks or a month.
Commissioner of Agriculture
William A. Graham, who is charged
with the administration of the
wine law, has asked Attorney Gen
eral A. A. F. Seawell for a ruling to
straighten out several phases of the
act. Graham left today for Louis
ville, Ky to attend the convention
of the Sons of thj American Revo
lution, and he will not return be
fore next week.
He has yet to formulate rules lor

problem until hs returns.

Sunday School Lesson
Meaning of the Last Supper
Text: Matt. 26:17-80
The International Uniform
Sunday School Lesson for May
26.
* * *
AS, shortly before His crucifix
Ion, Jesus partook of the Pass
over with His disciples In an
upper room in Jerusalem, the
Lord’s Supper was Instituted.
The occasion la memorable for
the Intimate picture that we
have of the disciples In the last
great act of fellowship before
their Lord's death, and for the
element of tragedy, foreshadow
ing Calvary Itself, that entered
Into the occasion as Jesus an
nounced that one of His own
very circle would betray Him.
Did Jesus Intend to found a
formal rite In the church, or was
He emphasising the sacred na
ture of all Christian fellowship
and communion? We can never
know regarding that, but the re
membrance of this upper room
and the record of what happened
there so took hold of the life of
the Church that very early the
Lord’s Supper, and the partak
ing of bread and wine In com
mon, became the most sacred
symbol of Christian faith and
fellowship.
Paul very definitely estab
lishes this rite of the Lord's
Supper and, recalling the ex
ample of Jesus In which He gave
the bread and wine to the disci
ples as symbols of His body and
blood, he represents the act of
communion In the Lord's Supper
as one of remembrance, showing
or making manifest, the Lord’s
death until He comes.
• • •
THE disciples believed that in
that act, embodying the
spirit of Jesus, they were experi
encing His real presence, and It
is no wonder that this conviction
became so strong that It devel
oped into doctrines of transub
stantlatlon and consubstantta
tion. The Christiana ot today
are not likely to be Involved in
the sharp and Intense controver
slea that the historic church has
witnessed concerning these mat
ters. One may renture the be
lief that the presence ot Jesus
In the communion of Christians
and In the Lord’s Supper ts not
a formal or mechanical matter.
The Lord could hardly be
present among those who were
not met In the depth ot sincer
ity and faith, and He could hard
ly be absent, concerning his own
promises, from the communion
of those who In deep simplicity
of faith and earnestness were
met In His name.
• • •
TOO often the rite of the
Lord's Supper In the Church
has been a formal thing—a sym
bol ot the fact of fellowship In
the Church rather than a symbol
of the union of souls with Jesus
In sacrificial lore and service.
It Is a solemn thing to call
to mind the dying of the Lord
Jesus and to symbolise a union
with Him so intimate that He
comes Into our lives In such a
way that He Is our sustaining
power and our Inspiration.
Much of our religious thought
and action today Is altogether
too shallow. Religion Is not
merely a matter of doing, even
though with sadness one con
templates the lack of vital
Christian action on the part ot
those who make Christian pro
fession.
The Christian life Is a matter
ot being. It Is linked with the
life ot God, with the Ufa and
death of Jesus, and with the life
ot that great company In the
church militant and In the
church triumphant who have
loved, and sacrificed, and served
In witnessing to the world the
divine compassion and the full
ness of the gospel of grace.
Dr. Graham Advises
Seniors To Be Fair
GASTONIA. May 20—"It makes
no matter which way your con
science leads you,” declared Dr.
Prank P. Graham, president of the
University of North Carolina, in
addressing the graduating class of
Gastonia high school here Friday
night, “whether it be toward con
servatism, or along the road of
radicalism, to socialism, or com
munism—so long as you are Intel
ligent and fair.
“You must be Intelligent,” said
Dr. Graham. "You owe that much
to yourselves and to the society In
which you live.”
“The eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries,” said Dr. Graham, elab
orating on his theme. "Were de
voted to the invention of scientific
methods by which man might ex
tract wealth from nature and har
ness the forces of natural power.
"But the twentieth century—we
are in the midst of it right now—
will be and must be devoted to the
invention of a new social order
which is the only guard against a
recurrence of wordwide economic
disaster.’*

But the duat atoms, and their
parent, the drouth, hare done
some good. They have speeded ac
tion to combat the menacea which
threaten to rob American farmers
of millions of acres of fertile land.
For one thing, the shelter belt
program has begun. Envisioning
a great strip of forest, stretching
from Canada to Texas, agricul
tural experts have begun plant
ing seedlings in Texas. Oklahoma,
and Kansaa Soon the planting
will bo extended to Nebraska and
the Dakotas.
As a starter. 1E0 miles em
braced by the planned shelter belt
will be reforested; SO strips, each
about fire miles long, being dis
tributed among the six states.
Funds made available by the new
federal work-relief program may
see the project through to com
pletton.
The tree-growing program prob
ably will not help the American
farmer for IS or SO years. But
eventually Its backers believe the
band of trees will prove luvalu
able In "breaking” winds, and
holding moisture in the soil.
An enthusiastic advocate of the
shelter belt Is Dr. Raphael Zon,
who will handle technical phaeee
