" ~ Friday, May 28, 1939 " 80ME COMPARISONS Every high school boy ought to know that George Washington etrougly advised ugahiHt the ontauKlement of this country In European aff alriy Utter came James Monroe with his famous "Monroe Doctrine." As most of us know, to express it In plain, Hlmple language, this pronouncement warned the world against Interfering with either North or youth America. That we would not interfere with European affairs, and they must keep iheir noses out of ours. It said In so many words that "America Is for Americans." Contrast that wholesome doctrine with Woodrow SVllson who forced us into the European mess of 1U14 HHS,- and President Roosevelt who is trying to repeat the asinine performance before twenty-live years have rolled "over our lunula. As a backwoods "looker-on lu-Vlenna," this turmoil In Europe, so far as we are concerned, looks like a tompost In a teapot. Congress has the Jitters, and spending money by the billions In preparation for war, but not one. when pressed to name any enemy of ours In sight, has ventured to toll one even in prospect. The trouble In Europe now (and there Is always more or less trouble over there) la duo to the Versailles treaty. It was a mere hodge-podge or revenge and lack of foresight. It is responsible for Hitler. Hut why should we stick our bills v into their si Ink-pot ? What have they over done for us except rob us or millions of dollars.' They are making speeches and bally booing every day in Congress against war What war? They did the same thing in 1912 with this difference? Woodrow Wilson pretended to be with them, while our impractical president Is fomenting war. Wilson was elected the second time on his slogan against war, but fell from grace. Even bis then secretary of state, Colby, now admits the blunder of his boss in bringing on war for the Cnitbd States. The noted Juvenile judge. Hell Undsay, of Denver, Colorado, told President Roosevelt to tiis teeth the other day that the very young men who did all the dying and endured most of the 'agony in the World War should not be again forced into a foreign war without being allowed to vote on the matter. The president, of course, made no answer. That would be getting too far away from dictatorship. Should the propaganda boom again, ahead of the guns, with the president bellowing for war, wo are wonderingj what the attitude of congress would be As before, we fear It would coll up and vote as told.?Calhoun Times. WHAT DID THEV FIND?

Chronicle. . By L. L. STEVENSON Back from a 19-months tour of tHe continent, Estelle unci Leltoy, ballroom dancers, have many stories to tell. The one they favor the most is on themselves. At La Scala, they found themselves preceded by a group of whirling dervishes known as the Ballet des Zaren. On opening night, resin was sprinkled plentifully over the floor for the ballet and by the time Estelle and LeKoy came on, the stage surface was Bfl 6xpan.se of slippery wax. To malfe matters worse, for their routine, the stage was so raised at the back that the front dipped into the orchestra pit. Nevertheless, everything went well with their first two dances. But just as they went into the whirlwind finish of their final number, clown they crashed, Estelle into the bass drum and LeRoy into the astonished face of the first violinist. And from then on, whenever they approached the edge of the stage, the orchestra broke into, "Danger, Love at Work." Moriz Rosenthal, 76-year-old "little giant of the keyboard" who will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his American debut with a golden jubilee concert at Carnegie hall, loves to relate anecdotes of his wife's devotion. One concerns an occasion when Mrs. Rosenthal (one of Europe's leading piano teachers) was entertaining a party of friends in her drawing room while her husband was upstairs in his study working on his soon-to-be-published memoirs. The discussion turned to a rather difficult problem and when the argument became hopelessly involved, one of the ladies of a more religious bent, observed, "Ah, well, there is One above Who knows all." "Ah, yes," responded Mrs. Rosenthal beaming. "And I will ask him to come down and tell us what he thinks." Before coming to New York, Doris Rhodes was starred in a number of out-of-town night clubs. One of those spots was in a city where there was a large prison. Actors from the different c$fes were often called on to entertain the convicts and Miss Rhodes, feeling sorry for the prisoners, always complied with such requests. One evening at the conclusion of her program, she informed the warden that it would be her last appearance as she was leaving to fill another engagement. The warden thanked the singer for appearing in the prison shows and then, turning to the inmates added, "I know you will all miss Miss Rhodes. She has been here so many times that she has almost become one of us." Here is something unknown to many of those who have praised Carol Bruce, young torch singer at the Midnight Sun, for the unusual timbre of her voice and the strange and tingling choral effects produced thereby. It's all due to an obscure disease which affects the larynx. ! Miss Bruce has had the disease since she was 12 years old. A simple operation would cure it. But a cure would make her voice merely | the same as any other. So she prefers to keep her disease. * * * ! At 16, George Lowther, radio au- | thor, broke into his profession as 1 an actor. "Quickie" motion-pic-j tures, made in a Long Island studio, i were quite the thing for stage per- i sonalities with a few idle hours on ! their hands, and Lowther was cast j in a small part in an eight-reeler. j Qrdored to work at 6 a. m., his : day ended at midnight when three j reels had been completed. The j second day, the same schedule was followed. "We made the entire picture in something like 40 hours," said Lowther. "And if I hadn't had a ! fast car I would have missed the preview." . . Last year, Joan Edwards, soloist with Paul Whiteman's orchestra, opened the Army and Navy day eel- j ebration at the Statue of Liberty with the national anthem. At the end of the program, a gold-braided J general patted her on the back and i as much as told her the army 1 doesn't forget such beautiful sing-i ing. Evidently it doesn't since this, year Miss Edwards received an lryn- j tation from that same general' to' the Army-Navy football game. ? Bell Syndicate ?WNL' Service. | Wild Raccoon Crashes Into Prison and Remains COLUMBUS. OHIO ?Ohio state j penitentiary officials arc wondering ; how their newest prisoner, a wild j raccoon, got into the prison. The voluntary but very vicious inmate was found in the prison courtyard and apparently had climbed the high walls. The raccoon was added to the collection of prison pets which includes: two groundhogs, one possum, monkey-faced owl, chicker. hawks, six squirrels, two snakes, five alligators, two dogs, a parrot and numerous cats. Vatican State Holds Records It Firtt in Percentage of Autot, Radios and Even Soldiers. VATICAN 8TATE. ? The pontifical state, newest and smallest of nations, holds more records than any other country in the world. Whether it be telephones, automobile#, radios, soldiers or even prosaic elevators and refrigerators, it is the Vatican City that has more of the per capita than any other country. Although there are only 600 names listed in the Vatican telephone directory, it is estimated that each inhabitant averages more than one phone apiece. With a population estimated slightly above the 700 mark, the per capita rate is roughly .85. The United States, with 15,295,852 telephones, is far behind with approximately one-eighth of a phone per person. Actually the papal state's average is higher than .85, because many of the phones connected with Pope Pius' private and official apartments and other interapartmental hookups are not listed in the directory. Fifteen Outside Lines. The Vatican also has 15 lines with the outside world, which in this case is Italy. There is no country that can boast of such a high average of interurban lines for its population. The Vatican has 32 electrically driven elevators and in a few months the figure will be increased to 35. Although there are about 100 buildings in the small territory, twothirds are small one and two story structures used as small1 ofiices and residences for Vatican employees. This means that there is one elevator for each of the larger buildings. Yet 20 years ago the Vatican State could only boast three elevators and all of the hydraulic type. King Edward VI rode on one of these old-fashioned lifts when he came to see the then-reigning pope early in the Twentieth century. Boy Still on Job. The fat, pompous elevator boy who piloted King Edward to one of the upper floors is still on the job. His job has been greatly simplified. Instead of lugging on a cable, all he does now is to press buttons and modern science takes care of the rest. It is estimated that there are piore than 200 automobiles in the miniature state. It is calculated that there are two cars for every seven inhabitants. Even the United States, which boasts of one automobile for every 4.9 inhabitants, cannot match this mark. It is estimated that ther? is an average of ;ne radio and one elec tVic refrigerator per Vatican family. Although the Vatican can be considered the most peaceful of states, on the surface it gives the opposite impression of being classed among the most military. Its army makes up about two-thirds of its entire population. Even Russia, Germany, Italy and Japan, which are considered the most heavily armed, fall far behind. However, the Vatican army, composed of Swiss, pontifical and noble guards and papal gendarmes, does not possess a single cannon, a machine gun, an airplane or even a tank. That in itself is another record. 'Birth Certificate* Valid Delaware Still InsisU DOVER, DEL.?Delaware is prepared to defend again the validity of its "birth certificate." New Jersey tried unsuccessfully in the United States Supreme court and in the English courts to prove that the parchment deed granted William Pcnn 100 years ago was turned over by Penn to James, duke of York, and that the present boundaries of Delaware are not correct. An announcement at Trenton, N. J., disclosed the state intends to bring an expert from London, William LeHardy, to examine papers New Jersey claims, will show that Penn made the transfer, and that he never received another grant ;n its place. The original parchment deed establishing Delaware's boundaries is preserved in the state house here. Giant Lemons Displayed NEW ORLEANS.?Lemons that the grower, Fred Smith, of Myrtle Grove, claimed would make half a gallon of lemonade each were displayed here. The lemons, of the Ponderosa variety, were from 15 to 20 inches in circumference. # Grades of Athletes Found to Be Average LINCOLN, NEB?A popular belief that athletes are not outstanding in the classroom is not borne out in a study made of the scholarship of University of Nebraska varisty players by Dean T. J, Thompson. He found that more than half of the Husker athletes last year ranked above the university scholastic average of 77 per cent. His survey did not include men participating in tennis and golf. A majority were partially self ; supporting and several earned i their entire expenses. Select Males Now For Breeding Flock Kershaw county poultry flock owner* who plan to keep a breeding flock next fall may obtain beat i vaults by selecting the males when they are twelve to sixteen weeks of age, County Agent W. C. MoCarley suggests. During this period rate of growth, feathering and vigor show up quite readily. Additional selectlou can then be made at mating time. "Males possessing rapid rate of growth and feathering aud are moat vigorous at maturity, and will introduce these qualities Into their offspring," says the agent. boll weevil control VERY IMPORTANT NOW "Since South Carolina farmers art going to use the 1-1T mixture as a means o Tearly boll weevil control every effort will be made by couuty agents to give growers all available Information regarding its use," Director D. W. NVatkins of the extension service, said this week. Last summer on 17,834 farms the standard 1 IT mixture was applied to cotton, according to county agents' os tlmates. This was an increase of 71 per cent over the estimate for 1937 Present Indications are that an oven greater increase will be reported this year, Mr. Watklns predicted. He said that reports from county agents are to the efTect that farmers are not waiting for reports of heavy weevil emergence ' to purchase poison. One of the factors In this increased interest, the Director pointed out, is re ports from farmers on the effectiveness of poisoning last year. The far mers also realize that there was an abundance of weevils going Into hi bernatlon last fall, followed by a very mild winter, both of which are favorable for the weevils. During the fall of 1938 director Wat kins appointed a committee of exteu sion workers to study the situation and to suggest ways and means by which an ample supply of molasse and poison would be readily accessi ble to all farmers in 1939. Fertilizer companies, oil mills and other busl ness interests are cooperating in se curing local supplies of materials for boll weevil control at reasonable prices. Holds Monthly Meeting The Flat Rock home demonstration club met at the home of Mrs. Hutson Gay. The club, led by Miss Fewell sang several songs. A Mother's Day devotional was given by Mrs. T. M Young, Jr. After the roll was called and the minutes read by the secretary the program was then conducted by Mi88 Fewell. She gave a brief retiew of the subjects studied during the year. The subject for this month was "Stain Removal." Each member received a book on stain removal and Miss Fewell discussed the many diff erent kinds of stains listed. She gave the three different classifications of stains and mentioned the fact that it was best to always make a test to find out what a removal contained before rising. She gave several home methods to remove stains. The social hour was enjoyed very much. One game of particular interest was the "Telegram Message." Each person was given the word 'Mother to make a short message, beginning each word with the letters in the Wrd "Mother." The winner of this contest was Mrs. T. H. Young. She received a beautiful pink sandwich tray. During the social hour, Mrs. Hutson Gay gave an interesting reading, entitled "Mother." The hostess,' assisted by the secretary, served cake and jello. She then presented each oile with a small basket filled with mints. There were fifteen members present and one visitor. The meeting adjourned to meet In June at the home of Mrs. G C.
