NOTED ENTERTAINER
HEARD HERE EfiiDAY
Jules Brazil Delights Audi
ence at Central School.—
, Brought Here by the Local
Kiwanis Club. J
Jules Brazil, of Toronto, Canada,
thoroughly entertained liis hearers
.Friday at tut- Central School audi
torium. where he appeared under the
auspices of the Kiwanis Club of Con
cord and tlieir guests.
Tlie impersonations and songs and
stunts put on by this entertainer from
Camida were very entertaining and
amusing indeed, and the audience re
ceived iiis offerings with lavish ap
plause- for almost two hours. The
quickness of Brazil and liis seeming
acquaintance with.the people of Con
cord in the few hours he had spent
in the city kept his audience guess
ing.
"Brazil arrived in Concord on Friday
afternoon, and was tlie guest of the
local Kiwanis Club at its regular week
ly luncheon at the Y. AI. C. A. before
his entertainment, where the members
were given an opportunity of becom
ing- personally acquainted will him.
Many of the persons iu\the audience
at the auditorium whom lie called by
not at tlie luncheon, and
had never seen the entertainer before.
To attempt to give a description of
the various musical selections, imper
sonations and stunts given* by .lulefy
or to say which was the best feature
of liis show would hardly bo possible.
Concord has not heard an entertainer
of this class, and in fact the reputa
tion of the* man is 'intyrnutionul.
Those who heard ldm were given a
’treat Which they will not soon forget.
The regular meeting of the Kiwanis
Club was shortened and no program
was put on by team Xo. 4. Brevard
Harris, captain, which had charge of
the program of the evening. v Only
one nia(ter of importance was brought
before the club—that of tlie proposed
railway to the northwestern counties
of the state. This was brought to
the attention of the club, which voted,
unanimously to endorse the present
J>ili in the General Assembly, and in
structed the secretary to wire Sena
tor Frank Arm field at Raleigh to use
his influence in support of the mea
sure.
The attendance prize, gyvon by Bre
vard Harris, was drawn by Campbell
Cline. ,

chine when about eight feet from the
<U£ch. So far the police have found
no one who saw the accident except
some children.
Mr. Howie, according to his report
to the police, saw the child on the
side of the road for some time before
he struck her. Her alleges that she
started across the road just as 'he
reached her, and at the time his ma
chine was too close to her to avoid
the accident.
The warrant for Mr. Howie’s ar
rest was swbrn to by A. B. Coble,
father of the child. His bond was
fixed afi SSOO, and this was easily

Mr. Ilowio and the child were both

SCRAPPING PROGRAM
TO UOST LARGE SUM
. . --*r
House Committee Reports That Naval
Plan Entails Cost of $55,000,000.
AVashington. Feb. 23.—The naval
scrapping program under the Wash
ington treaty will entail a direct cost
to the government of $55,000,-
000, according to a report toda. by
the house appropriations committee
explaining an item of $20,950,000 in
the deficiency appropriation bill to
re-imburse contractors and Ordinance
manuacturers who suffered when the
ship building was stopped by the arms
conference treaty.
An ultimate saving of from $240,-
000,000 to $250,000,000 was sent hv t7Ti\
committee in the abandonment -“tif
eleven vessels under construction.
“The estimated cost of constructing
j the \X ships,” the_committee reported,
| "is $436,800',000. There had been ex-
I pended on them to June 30, 1922, the
sum of $155,615,000. If the vessels had
not been scrapped, there would have
been required to complete them $281,-
J 185,000. Deducting from this sum the
estimated cost of scrapping ana add
j ing to the result a fair approximation
lof the value of the salvage there w j l
be, an ultimate saving of somewhere
between $240,000,000 and $250.C00,-
000 traceable to the scrapping of the
•11 ships.”

ALTO- PRODUCTION MAKES
BIG GArN FOR JANUARY
Passenger Car and Truck Output Ex‘
eeeds Peak Month of August.
Washington. D. C., Feb. 23.—Auto
mobile production in the United States
increased in .January to the highest
point since last August, the usual
month of peak production, according
to a report made publljp today by the
Commerce department. Passenger
car production in January, 1923, was
221,(597. or almost three' times ftlie
production of SI ,693 in January, 1922,
am! truck production was more than
double, being * 19,206 last month, as
compared with 9,416 in- January a
year ago.
The output of passenger ears last
January compares with 206,372 in De
cember, aml flie output of trucks in
January compares with 20.035 in De
cember. Total revised production for
1922 amounted to 2.3514,790 passenger
ears and 242,975 trucks.
IA new form of life belt which sup
ports the head of weaver cle£r of
the water is a great improvement
over the old form of belt. Women of
hysterical tendencies and old pt*rp:e
som times collapse the minute they
find themselves in the water. In this
case the head falls forward or back
ward, the mouth is opened, and they
drown at once. -The new type of belt
would prevent their drowning wlvic
