But no one came to wait on him. Mangum was getting sort of hot under the collar. Just then the manager stepped up. "Have you been waited on?" he asked politely. "No." Mangum roared.

"Well, as an apology I'm going to let you pick any salesgirl to wait on "I'll take that one that doesn't talk back." said Mangum, pointing to a dummy. The manager gave the dummy to Mangum who promptly dubbed her "Greensboro" and took her back 84th quartermaster battalion, now camped near Norman.

But Work Longer Hours By HENRY AVERILL higher weekly wages. NOT AVAILABLE Hours worked were not available on insurance and broker em- (Entecprise Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel) RALEIGH, Oct.

28 North Carolina workers got more money per week in September than in August but it was more because they worked longer hours than because there were any appreciable numberof pay rate increases. state Department of Labor's statistics on 220,819 workers employed by 1,392 different concerns showed that gross pay rolls for September were up 2.3 per cent over August and average weekly earnings jumped 2 per cent $18.60. WORK HOUR UP The, figures also showed, however, that average hours worked per week increased by 1.5 per cent, while the increase in average hourly pay rates was less than one-half of one per cent (four-! tenths of one, to be exact). Workers engaged in manufacluring were slightly better paid! than others and they worked shorter hours, though not by much. Thus for a manufacturing industries the average weekly wage was $18.77, compared with $15.93 for non-manufacturing, white hours were 38.7 per week against 40.6 for the workers in: non manufacturing industries.

Reason for the only slight effect of the non-manufacturing wage average on the grand total is that the figures covered 207,406 manufacturing workers against only 13,413 in other industries. There were the usuai hills valleys in employment and pay. Highest paid workers in the state, on the Labor department figures, were insurance and brokerage house employees, whose weekly wages averaged $37.60. Only other category of workmen in the $30 a week class was the pulp mill worker, who received an average of $31.71. Highest average hourly wages were paid workers in the printing and publishing trade.

They made 74.8 cents an hour, against the 74.0 of the pulp mill employees who worked longer hours to get ployees. Shortest work week was for the hosiery workers (both full-fashioned and seamless) and retail store employees. These three classes worked 35.4 hours weekly. At the other end of the line. hotel workers made the least: money per week, had the lowest average hourly pay rate and worked the most hours every week.

The 1.175 employces of 19, reporting hotels worked an age of 49.9 hours each week at ani average rate of 20.4 cents per hour to give them average wage of only group of employees on the list who got less than $10 a week on the average. Average weekly earnings of various industries were: Brick, tile and terra cotta cotton goods cottonseed oil $15.30: dyeing and finishing $18.28: Certilizer furniture $19.48: full-fashioned hosiery $21.26: seamless hosiery $16.03: flat goods lumber. including planing mills, $15.44: paper boxes $18.66: pulp mills $31.71: printing and publishing rayon tobacco products, shuff, cigarettes, etc, woolen Kelieves CHAPPED SKIN It your skin Ls chapped, you will De delighted with the effect or Mentholatum applied to the stinging.red, swollen parts.

Oct. 28. 'The Thomasville Fire Department's new service truck is proving the to be a good investment for city, especially during the past several days in fighting grass and forest fires.

Several dangerous fires in the city and several within five or six miles of the city have been brought under control by the use of the service truck. The truck is especially fitted to fight this type of fire and the recent dry weather and stiff winds during the past few days have resulted in several trips for the local firemen. 'In most cases persons have been burning trash and the fires have gotten out of their control. Probably the most stubborn est grass fire encountered by the local firemen recently occurred at the Rose Arnold Farm, sevcral miles south of Thomasville Sunday, Local firemen were quested to assist and the fire was brought under control, but only after over 40 acres had been burned over.

Str Walter Hotel) RALEIGH, Oct. 28. There's nothing they can do about it except cuss and try to work out their own salvation, but bootleggers all over the state are said to be rather fearful of the State ABC board's order that half pints of whisky be hold in the stores of the control counties. It isn't the purveyors of illegal hooch fear the price compethey are entirely disinterested tition so much-and and certainly the contention of half pints will printatlesale drinking rather than more. What they do fear.

however, is that the half pint will find its way into the legally arid counties, bringing with it a tremendous headache in the form of new delivery problems. The little bottle will undoubtedly multiply handling and, as a necessary corollary, risk. more many who now buy pints may ask for half which would decrease the sales volume in proportion as it decreases consumption: or doubles the number of deliveries, which adding heavily to the bootlegger's costs. On the hall pint question not all the legal stores are agreed. Chairman Robert Grady Johnson's order for half pint sales is not mandatory.

merely permissive. but he thinks it would be a good think if all counties adopt uniform practice. The leading bootleggers in the dry counties probably cannot get together for any agreement on the subject but it's dollars to doughnuts they'd vote against the half pint almost as a unit.

He claimed to have operated Page's Lake for "nineteen years without a serious accident or an arrest made on the premises." This bureau's Pinetown correspondent who rather bitterly complained of the eratment he has received of the Martin County commissioners in the matter of taxes on timberland wrote just a few hours too soon, it appears a second letter received from him: "I have just sent you a letter, after which a new mail came in. and I given a reduction in this year's taxes. That may be the manner of a refund." The writer had previously contended he bought what he thought was 15,000 acres of timberland, but found after coming to Martin County that the tract contained only 9.600 acres.
