WfKTi Frrr- r' ' PAGE FIVE jOtOWDS TRAVEL TO v b I BRUMME1S GRAVE Jackie Cooper's Bedroom Captures Youngster's Fancy -iv- j? DENTAL DIVISION L ' jSimple Tombstone Marks Restaur NORTH CA ROLI NA STATE mg Place in rancer t aen,.- France. . George Bryan .l"Beau") Brummell waa burled here In ,1840, and a simple tombstone marks Ms final resting place after a gay and spec tacularllte. So far this year more than 3,000 : British and American tourists have vls llted his grave In this Protestant cem etery. Brummell was born In London on June 7, 1778156 years ago last June. .His father was Lord North's private .secretary. He attended Eton and Ox ford, where he was distinguished for his studlousness as well as his metlc .ulousness in attire. After four years In the army he came Into an im 'mensei fortune and thereafter de voted himself to the profession of .fashion arbiter. In 1813 he quarreled with the prince regent and he had to flee for his life to Calais. Here, for .fourteen years, he struggled along In I his reckless, carefree way and from 1830 to 1832 held a sinecure consulate at Caen. He gradually lost his mind and he died an Idiot In an asylum in 1840, at sixty-two. While In prison in Caen for debts, Brummell wrote many begging letters to friends who had been willing enough to spend his money in other days. They turned a deaf ear, however. He read a great deal of Washington Irv ing and Lord Byron; received the visit 'of Tom Moore, and prayed that he : might not "die, like William the Con queror, in Normandy." Even God, his friends said, turned a deaf ear to this entreaty as if In punishment for his riotous living. He wanted to be burled on British soil, but those who had abandoned him in life also forsook him In death, and bis once proud bones long since have mold ered to dust In the Oaen cemetery. ArcheologitU Declare Maya Were Not Urban Washington. Mayas of pre-Columbian days were fanners and not city folks as popularly believed, Dr. Oliver 6. Ricketson, Jr., member of the Car negie Institution's arcbeologlcal staff, believes. Doctor Ricketson believes the Maya ruins are not remains of extensive cities but remnants of agricultural com munities. He said that even the large, multi-chambered buildings of northern Yucatan would not house facilities for a large population. He claimed the ruins are civil and religious centers to which surrounding fanners flocked on market and feast days. Proof of this, he added, is evi denced by the fact that low platforms forming ancient house mounds extend through the jangle In every direction and without demarcation between one center and another. Doctor Ricketson estimated the total Maya population was approximately 48,000. Many Big Concerns Show Increase in Revenues New York. Increasing evidence that many large industrial and business or ganizations are showing a definite In crease in revenues for 1034 over 1933 la to be found In annual reports, cov ering the past fiscal year and now be ing made public. Many of America's Industrial lead ers have Increased hopes for further expansion and additional revenue gains. Gerard H. Swope, president of the General Electric company, said: "For the first - nine months of this year, General Electric shipments have Increased to $122,000,000 from $97, 000,000 for the same period last year.' Profits, available for' dividends, have Increased to $13,600,000 from $8,800, 000 In the same period. Coast Convicts Prefer Books on Penal Code Sacramento, Calif. California penal and political codes head the list of "best sellers" In Folsom prison, one of the nation's "toughest" penitenti aries. These books, along with the work! of Blackstone, top the list of requests from prison Inmates, according to State Librarian Mabel Glllls. The convicts pore over the volumes In an effort to Mfflnd loopholes in the law which may win freedom for them. Results of this arid study .occasion ally send staid Jurists Into a huddle when habeas corpus petitions contain ing queer points of law are presented Coaacll Offers Reward,) ' Omaha, Neb. At the request of the . Omaha safety board, the city council voted a reward pf $100 for Information leading to the 'arrest of any hit-run driver where a fatality occurs, Tho reward will bo paid from safety board 'funds. . v. . - Town Waits Fifty Years to Erect Sign 1 Boston. Although the people of the town of Essex. have been fully' aware for more than fifty years Of where their town ball Is located, and have found It without the aid of signs, the building now IS to be marked, I The .townspeople ,i have finally decided that there must be a sign there. Large , letters will an nounce to the passers-by that the old building really Is the town, hall Parents and Teachers Co-operate With the State Board of Health By MRS. J. BUREN SIDBURY Chairman, Summer Round-Up Campaign, N. C. Congress of Parents and Teachers THE health of the child has i . .. ueeu one oi me major inter ests of the Parent-Teacher Asso ciations of the State. Parents and teachers agree on the vital necessity of having children phys ically and mentally fit before good school work can be ex pected. We are stressing through our Summer Round-Up Campaign the importance of having every remediable defect corrected be fore the child enters school for the first time. This Summer Round-Up Campaign was inau gurated by the National Con gress of Parents and Teachers in 1925, as their major health ac tivity. From a very Small begin ning we now have thousands of children examined each spring, and remediable defects teeth, tonsils, eyes, ears, posture, etc. are brought to the attention of the parents. These defects ma terially retard a child's progress in school We are endeavoring, through education of the parent, to stress the truth that these physical de fects must be remedied. Wo are also urging the medical and den til professions to give due con sideration to the defects of the school child. Even though they be slight at the time of examina tion and inspection, we are urg ing that they not treat these de fects with indifference, but that they give them serious considera tion and cooperate in every pos sible way with the parents, with the school officials, and with the health officials. If we will work together for the physical health of the chfld, he will make greater mental progress. To accomplish this we must have more and bet ter cooperation, not only from the parents, but from the teach ers, and from the medical and dental professions. It is true MRS J. BUREN SIDBURY that the State Board of Health is rendering a splendid service in its health programs in the coun ties and its month health .pro grams in the schools, but they could do more and render a bet ter service if the public had the proper understanding of the work they are endeavoring to do and would give unstinted co operation in season and out , We ask of the associations through out the State that they lend every possible aid in improving the health condition of our children. We would suggest that at least two or three health plays, in which the children take part, be included in their Parent-Teacher programs during the school year. This will afford an unusual op portunity for health truths to sink deep in these young minds and bear much fruit in their lives. WINFALL NEWS Mr. and Mrs. A. R.

Such rooms are inexpensive and dear to the heart of almost every youngster. The walls are finished with cane fiber plank to carry out the general effect of a ship's cabin. By JANET ALLEN A nautical bedroom, with bunks on one wall and furniture that has i tang of salt air and sailing ships, has absorbed the fancy of many a boy. Whether he is six or sixteen, this is the kind of room he is like ly to want. The cost of converting a bedroom into a Ship's cabin is no greater than that of furnishing it in some manner far less appealing to the average youngster. Doable-Decker Bank The bunk, of course, Is the prin cipal item. Yet even a double decker is Inexpensive to build and has many advantages. If two boys are to occupy the room, each of them can have aruample bed with out using up all the floor space for sleeping equipment If there Is only one boy, he is sure to have a friend in occasionally. Then the double decker will be doubly useful. Another essential item of furni ture is a sea chest. This can be both decorative and useful. A rope handle at either end is all that is needed to give a nautical twist to any plain but sturdy chest. It Is an ideal receptacle for toys, particu larly if the young man occupying the room is being trained to pick up and put away his belongings. Planked Waua A chest of drawers, a desk and a comfortable chair for reading com plete the list of major items need ed. These can be purchased ready made or specially built at modest expense. To carry out the nautical effect, the walls of the room should be planked, although this is not abso lutely essential. One of the lease expensive ways to achieve the proper effect is to use Celotex in terior finish plank. Being a cane fiber insulating board, this has the added advantage of affording a certain amount of sound insulation, which will prevent the boy's bois terous friends from filling the en tire house with their din. This plank also has the advan tage of requiring ho finishing, treatment. It is available in several colors, including a soft, natural! tan and two shades of brown, and in either smooth, textured or rip pled surface. Edges of the planks are beveled and beaded. The same material in the form of tile may be used for finishing the ceiling. ET DE3 STEPS 7 Join in This Great Store-Wide PARADE off VALUES Values on parade, and what values!
