CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. The movement started here several I . inonths jugn by a number of property g oySners t» htive Streets adjoining their property widened, has proved very suc | cessful, and as a result several of the ! most important and most congested streets in the city are now being witl |i ened and made safer and more beau s” tiful. Part of South Church street near the cotton platform, will be wid | enod more than -o feet, and when the " work is completed will lie one of the !' Widest streets in this city. This will _meun much to traffic -on the street, wlxlch heretofore has been so congest ed that travel on it, especially on Sat-1 : urdays when farm jieople visit the city ip large numbers, lias lieeu almost '% Impossible at times and dangerous at nil times. "Part of Means street, near the heart 1 of the business district, probably will 1 i; be widened later, and the city has al jr;;. ready agreed to widen West Depot street from Spring street to the first :> business house. Both of these streets I *re used by hundreds of autos and | other vehicles and are too narrow at preseut. ? f.ln every instance the land for the & Street has been given by the property . |= owners free of charge, and the city | has paid for the paving of the land. Kflit proposition seems a just one, and I WUI mean much for the city in years I to cofne. The traffic problem is a se- I rtmis one in every city now, and it is |i especially serious in Concord, where | liiifortunately, the streets were made 1; tbo narrow when the city was laid uff. Eg .Xu some quarters where wider streets aye badly needed they cannot be se g cured without tearing down peroia- Ri; went buildings and this, of course. R,-Weans too much expense. But where II: It la possible, the streets should lie |g Widened, and the property owners who |fi bare given land to the city for the ■Mbteets have shown a fine civic spirit. HNc-V- gs. ■» ■! m SUGAR PRICES COMING DOWN. Pji'The general public is aroused over H' the seemingly unjust rise in the price ||; of sugar, and such a howl has been HfiipMNl that alreudy one New York MnjpHlMinr announces a •'reduction of fip'ihjie-balf a cent, per pound. In sev i #rnl .cities, including New York, many pltßietj have boycotted sugar, and this %: too bfs had its effect on the price. Federal government several. |y 4fft»kn ago started an investigation to llijfibttgpiac why sugar prices should ytate so suddenly. There was no ap reason for the increase and uu- MBp.dgebbods were suspected. So far 1. its we have learned the government iu- E-*,i|airy amounted to nothing, just what I It WHS expected to do. The sugar WRimra Wew that such an inquiry ||irobably would be made, but they also litnew that it would take such a long Wmßm* teey would be millionaires Sore anything was done and they reduce the price again. Facts «««««* coi||d he so placed that | tile fnvestigutorp could learn little of n mtr v tee public started in be- Hk# Die inquiry something had to be The boycott also helped, if the they will let it gb at lower prices. - j \ Government Investigations probably J > amount to some good at times, but « they are never as effective as public f | opinion and action by the public. It is *. truly hqrd to fool all of the people • | even somp of the time, and in this sug -1 ar matter they were not fooled. No , sugar shortage has been shown; no reason for the increase in price is of fered : and the people are not going to sit idly by and let the sugar owners - get the increase without making a de ■ termined fight. DISTRICT WOMEN WANT McADOO FOR NOMINEE McAdoo Leads in Club's Presidential j Contest, With Henry Ford Next, l E. E. Britton in News and Observer. Washington. May 2.—ls the Demo [ cratie women of the District of Colum bia could name the next president of * the United States, it would lie Wil -1 11am Gibbs McAdoo. now of California, ; judging by the volume of applause that was given the mention of his 1 name last night at the annual dinner . of the Democratic Women's Club of the District. The subject of the night was “Democratic 'Presidential Possi bilities,” and there was a whole lot of Democratic Presidential timlier pre sented by the various speakers, all of whom were women. There were some men in attendance, but all they were allowed to do was to listen and par take of the delimits listedl ,on (the menu of the dinner. Each woman who spoke did so with enthusiasm in behalf of the Presiden tial possibility whom slie presented, and each speaker was given applause. But the applause for McAdoo “led all the rest” when he was presented as the best liet for democracy. Mi’s. Ellis Meredith was sponsor for Mr. McAdoo and cleverly she first talked of "dark horses" and the outlook for the race. On her “dark horse" list were Senator -Toe Robinson, of Arkan sas. Buston Thompson, of ■ Colorado, endorsed by former President Wilson for the Senate; Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, and Senator William 11. King, of Utah. Having jockeyed these into the list. Mrs. Meredith then pre sented as tlie best racer her choice for President. William Gibbs McAdoo, the mention of whose name gave the most vigorous applause of the evening. “William Gibbs MdAdoo wtfs-noini nated, elected and sent to the White House for eight years.” wrote one of tiie ladies for a newspaper in relat ing tefc enthusiasm for McAdoo. Hen-1 ry Ford ran second to McAdoo only in the volume of applause which greet ed the presentation of liis name by his sponsors, white third place was token by former Governor James M. Cox, the Democratic nominee of 1020. The speakers for Mr. Ford and Gov ernor Cox presented forcefully the strong points of their candidates. One after another the speakers presented the points in favor of the possibilities they named, in the list iieing Senator Oscar Underwood, William J. Bryan, John W. Davis, of West Virginia, Thomas R. Marshall, judge John 11. Clarke, of Ohio. Senator Samuel Ral ston. of Indiana. Governor Sweet, of Colorado. The first speaker of the evening was Mrs. R. M. Stoner, who led off with what slie termed the “im possibilities.” In this list she put Wil liam .T. Bryan, Governor Smith, of New Y'ork. Senator Edwards, of New Jersey. J. M. Cox, Senator It. 1,. Ow ens, Mr. Bryan was discarded by Mrs. Stoner liecnuse she held "lie would make evolution a campaign issue." Senator Edwards us an anti-prohibi tionist. Governor Cox was too much depending on the League of Nations as a sole issue. Senator Owens us too strongly against the Supreme Court. Toni Lee, Jr., of Monroe, in Serious I Condition. Monroe, May 4.—Tom C. Lee. Jr., had a narrow escape from death a few nights ago when he put a prepa ration on a sore lip. The liniment was composed of carbolic acid, as typodine, iodine and alcohol.- Mr. Lee evidently swallowed some of the ointuieut. as lie was found a little later in his room unconscious. Phy sicians were summoned and stoimu-ii pumps were used. Dr. Pruett stating that a few minutes delay might have resulted in something serious, as the young man was having convulsions and scarcely no pulse. Blair Has No I dead of Offering Res ignation. H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Observer. Washington. May 4.—Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair has no thought of resigning, it was officially stated at the White House today. He called upon the President to discuss problems connected with his office and the persistent reports that the com missioner is to resign to take effect July 1 were discounted by tlip White House. The President and the com missioner, it was stated., have no : knowledge of any such intent. Up FMU<- Sw 7 ®**®* ■*> -m\ A Task. POLICE BATTLE MAN WHO THREATENS ROCKEWELEK Assyrian, Armed WUh StiUetto, Cap tured in Front of KesMence of John D. st. . . v . ~ . New York, May 2. with fa stilletto ahd two long weaver’s need les, and Assyrian silk worker from Greenwich Village, who'for two weeks had dogged the footsteps of John D. Rockefeller. Jr., was clubbed into sub inissibu today when he blocked the multimillionaire’s exit from his West Fifty-fourth Street home gnd threat ened to take his life. The man gave the name of George Murad, SSi, and said he had cpiue from Canada a mouth ago looking for a job. Besides the weapons, he carried an ; Assyrian Bible, a notebook of direc tions to the city and country homes | of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Jr., and a $1 bill that a butler in the lat ter’s home had given him this morn . ing on his plea that he was “starving.” Rockefeller first noticed Murad two ’ weeks ago, he told police, when the un ’ kempt stranger began trailing him to and from his home to his business of ices, occasionally stopping him to de , maud that he be given work. Rock , efeller thought the fellow only a harm - less “crank” until Sunday. As he .started home afoot from the morning . service at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, the man appeared at his side and followed him. gesticulating and talking incoherently, into the vestibule of the Rockefeller mansion. A butler and a house guard put him out, after a struggle. The next morn ing, at Rockefeller’s request, a uni-* formed poßceman was stationed at the entrance to bis home. Murad was seen to appear at his usual calling hour and slink away when lie saw the hluecoat. Yesterday. May Day. tiie guard was reinforced by two police detectives in an automobile, but Murad did not show up. Today lie called before the police or detectives arrived, and was uiet in the vestibule by the caretaker, was given a ft bill with which to ob tain food, and went away. ' Waving his arms and shouting, “You and the Bolsheviks are responsible for l all the trouble in the world: you sold out my country,” Murad reappeared, running around the corner, just as Rockefeller emerged from liis home and started toward a taxicab. The multi-millionaire evaded him and sig nalled the police, who came on tiie SULPHUR IS BEST I TO CLEAR UP UGLY, BROKEN OUT SKIN Any breaking out or skin irritation | on face, neck or body is overcome j quickest by applying Mentho-Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist.’ Because ) of its germ destroying properties, noth- I ing has ever been found to take the | place of this sulphur preparation that ) instantly brmgs ease from the itching, I burning and irritation. { Mentho-Sulphur heals efczema right 1 up, leaving the skin clear and smooth.

FELT TIREMO TIRED Indiana Lady Says She Was Rtm> Dewn, Suffered With Her Back, Took Cardni, and Got WdL Richmond, lad.—“l thought 1 would write a line or so, to say that I owe my good health and strength to Cardin,” says a letter from Mrs. Cora Courtney, 31 Railroad Street, this city. “I was all run-down until my family thought they would lose me,” writes Mrs. Courtney. “My husband coaxed me to take Cardui, so, to please him, I did, and will say I do not regret it, for I am able to do all my work and do my shopping. “I have five children, four in school, my husband and a boarder to do tor, and I do all my pwa work for all of us, and find time to play, we all praise Cardui.

Another mother whose sympathy and talents' helped to give the worlil one of its greatest musicians was the mother of Charles Francois Gounod, famous French composer, chiefly known to the public as the composer of the. score of “Faust” and of many sacred songs, in |(articular the “Ave Maria” that is most frequently heard. The mother in this case had more than merely a sympathetic understand ing of her son’s talents and ambitions. She was herself a musician of some accomplishment, and was particularly distinguished as a pianist. Her tal ent was passed down in an even great er measure to her son, and she took great delight in giving him his early instruction. She taught him all she knew, and then, as so often the case in stories of artists and musicians, the pupil outstripped the teacher, and needed further instruction. In this case, however, there was none of the jeal ousy so frequently manifested. The mother was beside herself with de light. ttnd made evey.v effort to pro vide the best instruction possible for tier boy. She struggled, for they were more or less impecunious, to send him to the conservatory, and his progress there more than justified her efforts. They were bound together by the strongest tie in the world—a mutual interest. There was nothing that they loved more than to’discuss the musi cal problems that came up, and of , course they were aide to help each other enormously. A mutual sympa thy made life a happy thing for them : both. i Next :■ Dorothy Antrotos, Mother of Thoumj? Gray. Director of Federal Land Bank. Washington. May 4.—Selection of L. I.
