Q. Can you furnish me a list of
counties in North Carolina that use
a County Manager? To what extent
is this form of county management,
and is it a success?
A. There is no county manage
ment in North Carolina, nor so far
as investigations disclose, anywhere
else in the United States. The Leg
islature of Montana has recently
made it possible for its counties to
adopt the system and the matter is
now up in Silver Bow county, which
contains the city of Butte. Steps
were taken in the direction of county
management in Westchester County,
New York, but they were faltering
and failing steps. A similar attempt
was made in Maryland to include the
county in which Baltimore is located.
But it did not go through. Alameda
County and Los Angeles County, Cal
ifornia, were bitten by the county
manager notion, but they did not
carry it through. A cursory investi
gation of this subject following the
receipt of the above interesting ques
tion discloses the fact that students
and advocates of civic and political
improvements regard the structure
of county governments as “ram
shackle,” and one of the suggestions
for improvement has been to adopt
the county manager who would func
tion in about the same way as city
managers are now doing. The claim
that the present form of county gov
ernment is not democratic because
it is in the hands of the chosen few
seems to be rather inconsistently met
with a cure-all that would further
reduce the management to one idi-
vidual. The form of county commis
sioners, usually made up of three
officials is quite common throughout
the United States. Many States and
counties prefer it to county boards
of supervisors, even though from the
point of numbers it is less democrat
ic than the supervisor system.

Q. What kind of paints shut out
the most heat?
A. The United States Bureau of
Standards says that the results of
its invsetigations show that a coat
ing of aluminum paint, applied to
the underside of a plate of sheet
iron, emits only 28 to 30 per cent
as much heat radiation as a white
paint, vitreous enamel or other non-
metalic surface. Aluminum paint
applied to the outside of an automo
bile top or other dark “artificial
leather” covering reduced the radia
tion from the underside by 50 per
cent; applied to the underside of a
tent it shuts out 80 to 85 per cent
of the heat radiated from the under
side.

(J. Who discovered the electric
bell?
A. The first bell sounded by elec
tric current, was produced by Joseph
Henry, a teacher in Albany Acad-
' emy, in 1831.

Q. What salary does the President
of the United States receive? What
amount is allowed him for traveling
expenses? What amount is allowed
him to maintain the White House?
A. The President’s salary is §75,-
000 a year in addition to which he
is allowed $25,000 a year for travel
ing expenses and there is a further
allowance of $50,000 “for mainten
ance and operation of the White
House.”
* *
Q. What is the proper use of par
entheses and should the punctuation
at the close of a sentence set off by
parentheses be before or after the
parentheses? Please illustrate.
A. Parentheses, or marks of par
enthesis, are used to set off a clause,
translation, or the like, which is in
serted in a sentence but is independ
ent of its construction. For in
stance in the following sentence: We
were now nearing our destination
(we had been five days on the river),
and our spirits rose.
* *
Q. What is the origin of the ex
pression “Hobson’s choice”?
A. A choice without an alternat
ive; that which is tendered, or noth
ing; the one thing or none. This
phrase is said to have originated
from one Hobson, a livery-stable
keeper at Cambridge, England, who
obliged each customer requiring the
hire of a horse, to take the next in
turn, or that which stood nearest
the stable door.
* *
Q. What is gluten and what does
it come from?
A. It is a tough, elastic substance
of a grayish color, which becomes
brown and brittle by drying, and is
found in the flour of wheat and other
grain. It contributes much of the
nutritive quality of flour, and gives
tenacity to its paste. A similar sub
stance is found in the juices of cer
tain plants.
+ *
Q. How is common salt obtained?
A. Common salt is obtained from
evaporation of spring and sea water,
also from mines. Our supply of salt
! obtained from evaporation conies
: chiefly from Michigan and New
1 York, mined salt from Louisiana and
Kansas.

The Secret Of Success
The secret of success is hard work and
dear thinking. The industrious person
earns more than his necessary expenses,
and the thinking person saves this surplus
and deposits it in a GOOD STRONG BANR.
It is never too soon to begin saving. Get the
habit of saving. The sooner you start the
greater will be your success.
Financial success is simply a matter of
sticking to your saving habit—making your
character stronger than any temptation to
spend. Nobody saves much at a time. Ev
erybody can save a little at a time.
Try the saving habit and see how fas*
the small change will grow into dollars, and
the dollars into tens and hundreds.
We invite you to start an account wit?
us. It will be appreciated, whether large or
small. We will give you Safety and Service.
