WANTS REJOICING AT FUN
ERAL.
Charlotte News.
A CincinWti man, dying left or
ders that SIOO of his estate should
be| spent furnish music for his
funeral and to prpvide a luncheon
for the singers and for his friends-
Nothing unusual in that, on the
face of it. "Solemn feasts and -wading
dirges have ‘characterized elaborate
funerals ever since the day* tis
Homer.
But this Cincinnati man reversed
the usual, idea. Instead of an oc
casion of mourning, he wanted the
luncheon to be a time of mirth and
smiles; *und he asked that the music
sung at his funeral be of a light,
cheerful nature. The who’e cere
mony, he thought, should be a
festival of rejoicing.
That's news because it’s unusual.
I'lt did he have the right idea?
To answer such a question is to
take all our notions about life and
death out of the musty elcset, where
we ordinarily keep them, and ex
amine them thoroughly.
It is largely because our notions
ou those matters are so contused
fliat the funeral is ordinarily a time
of such unrestrained grief.
We know that it is sweet to be
alive. The fine joys of human friend
ships, the pleasure of walking in the
streets and mingling with other men
and women,, the struggle and victor
ies and defeats that make up the
daily routine— these -things, for
) most of us. are good, and when one
of.us is called to leave them hll and'
go, we do not know where, w’e
grieve. For we can see surely only
that our friend 1 has had to give up‘
life in exchange for something that:
may be better —and may not.
And so. w’hen a naan requests that
there be no sadness at his passings
but gaiety and gladness, we are sur-*
prised.
Probably we will never be able to
attain to a steadfastness of faith
sufficient to keep us from mourn-*
ing when loved ones die. The mere
pang of parting, even if we are sure
that those who have diet! are hap-'
pier! than before, will always brlug
the ,tears. Yet we may hope that we
can reach a calmness and a eaftitude
■that, will enable us to say, Avhen we
ourselves approach death:
“Do not grieve for me. Death
nothing—it is only an incident.'The
world, the whole, is a good
world, and death is the one thing 1
that it gives to all alike. How, then/-
ean death be bad for me? I do not
know what it will fnean, exactly,
but I am sure that it will mean
something good. I am not afraid;’
you must not be sad.”
What Price Crime?
Prof. .T. L. Gillin, University of Wis- f
cousin.
Shameful to state, one out Os
every 3tM) persons in the United
States is put into jail or prison
every year.
That, percentage <loesn ? t 'include
the people who are assessed fines on
these who are placed on probation
instead of being jailed or fined.
Os the half-million people sent to
penal awl correctional institutions
in the United States in 1?U0. 91 1-2
percent were sent to jails and work
houses. Half ofthem were committed
to jail for the non-payment of fines.
We have an enormous investment
in the 141,000, jails, lock-ups and
police stations in the country. The
prisons use 185,000 acres of land
worth $30,000,000 and machinery
and tools worth $4,000,000. Occupy
ing these lands and buildings are
75.000 taeu.
Yet our prisons don’t pay ! - ;
Americans are the most murderous
people in the eiviTlfced world. We
had. in 1921, &.G homicides per 1-00,
000 people. And, as far as we can
judge from statistics, the rate has
been steadily iho*rearing during the
last two decades. The newer crimes,
such as automobile stealing, are
growing by leaps aud bounds.
Crimes cost an enormous amount
of money. In 1922 it was estima£ed
that criminals cost '•the taxpayers of
the United States three pillions of
dollars.
Almost.
The secretary of the bar associa
tion was very busy and very cross
one afternoon, when his _ telephone
rang.
“Well, what is it?” he snapped.-
“L this the City Gas Wprks?”
asked a Agpman’s soft voice. •
“No, madam,” roai-ed the secre
tary. “This is the Bar Association of
the City of t Louisville.”
“Ah.” came from the lady’s end in
the sweetest of tones. “I didn’t miss
it so v far, after all, did I?" (

TWO AHfe KILLED IN
AN AUTO SMASH-UP
(Baines and Son Victims of Accident
cn Winston-Salem Road.
PJighPoint, Feb. 14.—F. ,T. Baines
was killed instantly and his son
Rainey Raines, probably mortally in
jured in a bad automobile smash-up on
the High Point-Winsto<f-Salem read i
this morning about 10 ft’elock. Two I
ethers Raymond Baines, another son [
of the 'dead man, and Pete Jones, sus
tained minor injuries. \\
The accident occurred half way be-i
tween High Point and the Twin City
when a Ford roadster and Dodge
touring car met as the Ford was at
tempting to go around another auto- |
mobile. Pete Jenes, driving' the!!
Dodge, in which the Baines were rid- J j
ing. said the Ford was 'running at a I
terrific speed toward Winston-Balem.
He pulled his own automobile as far
to the right V)f the road as he “could
to keep the Ford from hitting him,
he said. The Ford apparently struck
the rear end of the Dodge, wher F.
J. Baine* and his two sons were sit- i
ting on the rear seat. Mr. Baines
died without moving out of his seat.
Reports heard here tonight say
thot a High Point man, who was driv
ing the Ford t is being held by police
at Winston-Salem.
The Dodge was practically demol
ished, while the Ford received less
damage. Occupants of the lighter
automobile are said to have escaped
with few injuries.
Mrs. Pete Jones and her 14-tnonth*-
' olds boby miraculously escaped injury.
They were sitting on the front seat
of the Dodge.
The Baines people live at Winston- 1
Salem, it is understood.
