A hoinh exploding horrlhly'near prevented an answer When llto ttoiso subsided somewhat my rescuer nodded i w isely, and explained. "That donkey la i the Pest aid raid warning I've ever j known Never fails to tell us. when danger Is near" And so it proved. i v I Then there Is the old lady who j sh-opa peacefully in he^ hedroom, In i her l/ondoii home, yet is-always down in her shelter before tho bombs eotno too near ('ortgTatnlattsl on her bruvery. sin- laughed.

Then there Is "(Jeorgo A eoininot) alloy cut. When his family take to their shelter under the stairs, they listen. and If the patter of paws Is heard, running down the stairs, they say. , "Here's George." And faros are hurled In blankets, and hands hold over ears, while (Joorge takes his place under a chair. Without fall, no sooner is George settled, than a very near crash Is always heard And though the "All clear" may not have sounded. If (ioorgo leaves tho shelter, tho family know that I hoy can safely do so.

Aroused, they were able to throw the sand, that Is always ready in a pall, over it l'robubly lives and property were saved by that animal's instinct. Dogs. t(K>, have contributed their share in saving life and property in this war. Mike is an old Irish roof-spotter He always has "I'addy", his Irish terrier, with on his Job, for that dog always harks ahead of the explosion, giving Mike time to reach safety himself, as well as ring the warning to the people In the building he guards. "Duke" Is a (irout Dane, who has won a row of jmUs. medals, and blue rib-* bruis, at peace-time dog shows. One night as he and Ills master were running to an air-raid shller, he suddenly < alight hold <?r his master's Irouser leg. and pulled him in the ground, where lie stood guard over his prostrait body.

The ehleketi farmer said the birds were safe, but souro of them were so 'frightened that they laid an ogg no | bigger than a twenty-live cent-piece. I Bravery! too, is a quality of animals as well as of humans A house was bombed, but u mother bird sat bravely . protecting her young ones. In their nest under the eaves, and remained there In Hpite of all the noifle and the fact that practically all the wall fell around her. An A. K. 1*. warden, j patrolling a devastated area, heard the loveliest trilling bird song among the debris He called a rosette squad, who dug out seven (Hsiplo and u canary in a cago whose song had saved them" Another warden, after an explosion, saw a cat come out of the debris, carrying a kitten which she laid at his feet, ami with a little "meow" she ran off and brought out another. In this way siio saved her whole family of live. 1 can assure Voti they had thesafest and most comfortable home that could i>e found A little girl was grieving in the shelter because her pet mouse was left behind She bad tried to save it, but Its cage was empty . What was her surprise when her little cocker spaniel came and laid the little damp mouse at her feet. It was quite unhurt. The; soft trained mouth of her dog had carried it safely.

THIS LIBEL SUIT PROVED A "BLESSING IN DISGUISE" New York? Several weeks ago Representative Martin Sweeney, of Onto, instituted 70 libel actions, asking a total of $7,000,000 from Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen, authors of "The Washington Merry-Go-Round," from tins syndicate which distributee* the column to daily papers and front newspapers that published one of their articles which. Sweeney charges, accused hlin of racial prejudices. Might of the cases have been tried and in all of them Sweeney lost. The last was tried in federal court here recently. The morning after Vne trial, Drew Pearson sent the following telegram to Representa 11 v?> Sweeney from Washington: "Dear Martin: You have probably guessed that I haven't been too enthusiastic ubout sitting through these libel cases you have -brought against its. even though so far we have won them all. However, today 1 certainly was glad you had sued us. For 1 was supposed to have been on the plane which crashed in Atlanta early today In fact, I was on that piano when I left New York but got off in Washington because our Joug drawn out I New York trial forced cancellation of a New Orleans speaking engagement. So I think I really owe you something and if I had the seven million bucks for which you are suing us I'd gladly give it to you right now."

Durham, N. Fob. 15?-Sporadically, ovary Important newspaper In the two Carolina* has carried on a cam* pal git against loan sharks. and tho state legislatures have more than owe been on the verge of regulating tbe lucrative business of leuilng money to the necessitous poor. With; the publication this month by the PivsbyIorlan <'r?lD KUftm* Of CUnlOU.r of Dr. William Hays Simpson's "Tho Small Loan Problem and the CuroUnas", detailed and reliable informa-tiou is now available concerning the practices of small loan and personal finance companies hi North Carolina and South Carolina. Tho extent of the problem, both from the viewpoint of the cost of credit to thousands of humble borrowers and the evasions of the law by unregulated lenders, Is exa'mincd thoroughly In this well documented study. Doctor Simpson, a ^dumber of the department of political science in Duko university, spent many months interviewing over 2,100 borrowers In 21 Carolina communities. Tho information furnished by these individuals consisted of tho papers ,used In i their dealings with loan companies, and from these documents the author ascertained tho terms of each credit tyansaciton?tho Interest and fees charged the borrower, tho loan period, the collateral, security or indorsements required, and tho methods of payment and collection. Naturally the most striking disclosure was tho high cost of the average small loan as I compared with tho prevailing low rates of interest on Investments and I the maximum Interest ratoe established by a law In North Carolina and South Carolina. Those who are accustomed to think of 6 por cent or < per cent as a moderately high price to pay for credit may be surprised to learn that few small loan companies extend credit on terms equivalent to less than 100 |H?r cent per annum. In South Carolina the average annual interest rates on all the loans covered by this Investigation ranged from a low of 97.3 per cent on loans of $.">0 or more to 462.7 per cent on loans of $10 or less. In North Carolina the average rates varied from 117.7 jkt cent on loans over $30 to 371.5 por cent on loans of $10 or less. The range of rates by town or city is shown in tho following table: North Carolina Rates in Maximum per cent loan per annum include 1 J Charlotte lS9-522 $50 j Duiham 263-35.S a<> i (5leeiisboro lls-ltl over .>0 Kab-igii :: it-111; 25 | Km ky Mount 2 v"-3< t 2 > Wi ining:on 21 ' 3.-2 | i Winston-Salem 255-:N2 50 | South Carolina A :ti!cr-<e? jioi::: 50 Charleston 216-95.5 over 50 Cclmnbn - 27-1117 ? *u .. 47-41 n over 50 (-1,\ I!!.- ever 51 Ko. k Hill 523 755 Sparf.inhur- 552 over 5u Sumter 4 1-356 5o (' 1 i11:<>;i i ir- ?mwomiI ati 1 N< wbei r>' 18 1-631 59 I >u rlin '-:t< m.

Three per cent of the Ne-ro borrowers in South Carolina seen red erislit at less than a yearly rate of 1"0 per cent; hut no Negro in North Carolina enjoyed this distinction. In South Carolina 19.8 i>er cent of the white debtors were charged over 3"0 ner rent per annum while 05.S per cent of the colored borrowers paid over 3"0 per cent. Thoso paying in excess of 300 per cent in North Carolina comprised 71 3 per cent of the white borrowers and 85.8 per cent of the colored borrowers. The whole story of the small loan situation is not told In cold statistics. Tho problem Is one not only of the high cost of going Into debt but also of tho sharp practices of lenders in keeping their clients In debt, the short maturity of tho typical small loan, which encourages if it does not requiro I repeated refinancing, tho frequent uso of wage assignments (abo\o all. In South Carolina), which cmbarrasses the borrower and provokes his employer, and the per intent lobby(Continued On Next Page) ^ ASKron^A1^ I MEi^THO |M I KULSiON Ijhri ^frc>K COUGHS FROM C0LD^B| ?jfl that won t turnloost V OF MENTHO MULSION IF YOU FAH.
