Chief Justice B lease has stated that
htHwill not withdraw hia realg-natioa
at the request of the legislature and
many others, feeling that he tan not
. carry on with the proper efficient y;
and believing a judge should quit
when his mental energies grow less
from ill health. The governor will
accept his resignation this week, and
it seems sure that the legislature will
elevate Mr. Justice Stabler to be chief
Justice, and ft!! the vacancy on the
supreme bench by electing an associate
justice. There are ap'eady six
^?r seven candidates for the ylace and
*this election will be one of the main
s j features of this legislative session.
The House of the Future
Hundreds of invisible servants are
ready V> do our bidding when we.step
into the "Home of Tomorrow", constructed
by the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company, in
Mansfield, Ohio.
The ^ight-room brick house was
built to demonstrate, how ?lectricity
can bring a New Deal to housewives,
u mere five or ten years from now.
It *i.H equipped with dozens of electrical
devices, all designed to make life
easier or more pleasant. If all the
switches in the house were turned on
at one time, these devices would
equal the work of K(>4 servants!
Suppose we pay a visit to this
.strange house. Doors slide open at.,

a dryer, and an ironcr. Telephones
can he varried from one room to
another, and plugged into any light
socket. There are seven radio sets?
one capable of receiving programs
from all over the world.
The house has an elaborate lighting
system, requiring .'*20 bulbs instead
of the 28 now used in the average
home. Most of the lighting is
indirect, and fixtures are buiH into
panels and mouldings. Various colors
can be switched on, to suit the owner's
mood. In our prowlings, we discover
ultra- violet lamps for health,
burglar alarms for safety, and towel
dryers for convenience!
Tomorrow's house has 10 built-in
motors to set its invisible servants to
work. It is wired to consume 18,000
kilowatt hours of electricity a year?
80 times as much as that user! by the
average family of today. To make it
practical, rates of electricity would
have to bo lowered considerably, and |
equipment sold much more cheaply i
than at present. This can be done,
We.' inghuuse engineers predict,
when the general public is educated
to the idea-of using more electrical I
devices.
T.'icv have built their sample house;
to help in thi.s education. If all the
devices in it were "in production and j
available to the r>ub!ic". they say, the)
owner of a $ 12,000 house could easily,
afford to in-;a.l ar.d u-e them today.

Capital Observations
(3p*e4*l C??)
Washington, April 3* -It is sintle
time* the unexpected that happens,
a* was the case when both houses
of Congress j?a**ed over the President's
veto the bill to restore very
largely the allowances of veterans
and a part of the amount which has
been deducted from the pay of Federal
employees during the depression.
In the Hous^ the vote was overwhelming?310
to 72. It is probable
that a good many Representatives believed
that the veto would be upheld
in the Senate and joined the majority
so as to stand in with soldier voters.
However the Senate voted 63 to 27
to over-ride the veto, beiqg several
more than the necessary two-thirds.
'ph?? en*ire-South Carolina delegation
in the House and Smith in the Senate
voted against the President's stand,
Senator Byrnes being the only one
from the *State to favor <he administration.
>*r f/
Better times are coming, being already
here to a considerable extent,
and the income of the Federal government
has been steadily Increasing
from taxes on incomes and miscellaneous
sources, including particularly
the tax on liquors. According to
Congress the opinion began to prevail
that the necessity for economy was
not so urgent. This also had a material
bearing when the vote was
taken.
* *
y
The question naturally arises as to
the effect of the failure of Congress
to uphold the President in this in-tame.
There are some, mostly political
opponents, who hold that it
| is the Ix'giftning of the *end of the
great power and influence that he
iM r'a'il, but thi? 'is more than
doubtful. There is evidence1 that
." ry 1 n-m oera tic f'ongre.s^men are
1'a.i ng over themselves in efforts to
get back upon the j?:i-1y reservation.
He him-elf i- not running t"niyear,
and tho-e u hu opposed considered
I that they could cultivate .support in
other quarters. Should the issue be
taken to the country by the President
doubtless the candidacy of many
would bo endangered, but such a
course would cause bad blood and engender
also party harmony. Some
who voted to overthrow the veto claim
that they have actually helped the
President and the party, upon the
ground that if the veto had been allowed
to stand, on the whole more
harm than good would have resulted.
The Bankhead cotton bill, which
had passed the House, has been favorably
acted upon in the Senate, with
several material amendments, which
will be considered in conference.
There is need for haste if it is to become
a law for this year. Last year
a great deal of work was wasted upon
I the destruction of a proportion of the
cotton crop after most of the work I
on the crop hud been completed, but!
n the Congress and the President j
were newly in offic^, with a tromen- J
dous amount of legislation to be con-idered,
so that speed was slow. This)
year a repetition of conditions would i
L- exceedingly unfortunate, if not inexcusable.

The Post Office Department is preparing
to make contracts of a temporary
nature for carrying the airmail
by private companies. However
no company will be allowed to bid
where there are officers who were
connected with the contracts which
were found to be tained with fraud
and collusion, and which were cancelled
nearly two months ago.

Costner Is Sentenced
To Thirty-Year Term
Charlotte, N. C., April 4.?-Isaac
Costner, who left hi# minister-futher'a
home in Newport, Tenn., to throw his
lot with the notorious Chicago'Touhy
gang, tonight contemplated a 30-year
federal prison sentence as he waited
in the county jail here for the next
move of his attorneys.
Convicted on 12 counts in connection
with a $105,000 mail truck holdup
here last November, Costner was
sentenced in federal district court
here today after a brief trial.
llis counsel served notice of appeal,
but whether it would be completed
was still a speculative question. Comment
by counsel indicated their first
interest would be in the possibility
of a parole, due Costner, they contended,
because of, promises made him,
when he turned state's evidence in the
Chicago trial of Basil Banghart for
kidnaping Jake Factor.
Throughout the trial delays were
sought in an effort to get federal and
Illinois officials to intercede for Costner
as he claimed' they had promised.
In passing sentence, however, Judge
K. Yates Webb said he did not believe
promises had been made to apply
to this case, and pointed out that
Illinois had done enough for Costner
I by allowing him to be tried hero on a
| lesser charge when he would have
been subpect to a 99-year sentence?
the same as Banghart got?if convicted
in the kidnaping, in which he had
confessed participation.
Other Offices Established
W. ('. Parham, field supervisor for
the Federal Seed Loan funds, announces
that in addition to the office
, opened qfcer the Fashion Shop in
, ('amden, additional offices have been
opened at Bethune, at Merchants ane.
Farmers Bank; at Blaney in olfice of
Magistrate J. D. Watson; at Kershaw,
in .Magistrate W. R. Taylor's
[office; and at Westville in the post
office building. Mr. Parham advises,
those who have not yet applied for
loans to do so at once.
Final CinningH
The final census for cotton ginnings
tuken by (). R. S. Pool show that
there were 12,093 bales of cotton
ginned from the crop of 1933, as compared
with 15,501 bales for 1932. The
report was made public March 20,
1934.

requirement "from an office that has
been adhering to the economy program
of the President's for the past
year," it may be said that no exception
has been made ip any particular
case, and r.o favoritism shown. It is
of course correct that "thus $300 will
be contributed by the carriers and
clerks who are furloughed," but it
should be borne in mind that a small
loss of pay does not fall nearly so

A ruminant In an animal, that chews
a cud. Taken together they form .

and embrace the oxen, sheep, goats,
antelo|>es, deer, giraffes, chevrotalns,
camels and llamas. They agree in a
special form of dentition, one feature
of which Is the absence of front teeth
in the upper Jaw. The1 ruminants are
so called In reference to the fact that
they -ruminate": that Is. after their
vegetable food has been hastily swal-'

Why Man Sleeps Nights
Is Answered by Authority
Night time Is sleeping time because
man has made It n habit, a professor
of the physiology department of the
University of Chicago said In a leo
ture before a student class. He backed
his contentions with the findings of
| many experts on the subject,
j "If existence were suddenly
stretched out' Into a 30 hour cycle In
place of the 24 hour cycle man would
simply change his routine to adapt
himself to the new conditions," said
the professor. "Or If the cycle
changed to an 18 hour day. man would
revise Ids sleeping routine. The world
would whir) on as smoothly as hefore."
.Many animals, tie said, go man considerably
better in sleeping, taking
frequent naps during the day. Infants,
however, take frequent daytime
naps, lie added, but only up to the
age of five years. The reason man
sleeps night is because darkness makes
it convenient, he said.?Chicago Tribune.

Why Coat* Button Right to Left
In former times when men wore
swords on ail occasions the weapon
was invariably fastened at the left so
that it could be drawn from Its scabbard
with quick dispatch. It was frequently
necessary to be quick on the
draw, and such emergenck^^ made it
necessary to place the coat buttons
at the right As the 'left hand reached
to the right to unbutton the coat covering
the sword, the right hand went J
to the left to draw the weapon. It
is an old practice for a woman to
hold a baby In the hollow of her left
arm. This action engages both the
left arm and the hand, so If the right
hand Is to be free in . unbuttoning the
woman's garments without disturbing
the position of the child, the garment
must be buttoned from right to left.

Why Dogs Are Bob-Tailed
Although many old English sheep
dogs are born bob-tailed and when
they are born with tails it is customary
to dock that member to within an
inch or two of the root, this is not a
natural characteristic of the breed.
Rather, it is believed, the tendency .toward
bob tails has resulted from the
pract'ce of herders In earlier days of
cutting off the tails of their working
sheep dogs. It seems that the dogs
used for herding were exempt from taxation
and their owners took this method
of making it easy to tell them apart
from others that did not benefit from
this law.
Why Orange Blossom* for Brides
The ornnge blossom Is the symbol
of chastity and fecundity. Not only
Is the ornnge tree an evergreen, but
It Is said to be the only tree which
produces fruit and flowers at the same
time. The custom Sf entwining orange
blossoms in bridal wreaths Is of comparatively
recent date In Europe and
In America. It came to this country
from the French, who In turn have
derived the custom from Spain. In
the latter country the custom is traced
to the Moors.
Why Light and Dark of Moon
These are popular expressions without
scientific meaning, in some parts
of the country tho people say the light j
of the moon is during the time the J
moon is waxing from now moon to full
moon, and the dark of the moon is
from full moon to tho now moon. In
other parts of the country the light i
of the moon is said to ho whon tliej
moon is visible and tho dark of tho
moon w lion it is not visible.
Why Coin Is Called "Dime"
The word is derived-from the l.ntiu '
derima. meaning tenth, through the old
French 'dismo." which meant tithe,
and the modern French "dime" having
the same meaning. The word has
been In the English language a long
time, and has always meant a tenth
part A dime, of course. Is now the
tenth part of a dollar.
Why Mint Sauce With Lamb
The custom of eating mint sauce
with lamb Is of English origin and is
supposed to t?e a remnant of the older
custom of eating hitter herbs with the
