FOR ATHLETIC’ FIELD. A movement was started here some time ago by a number of the students of the High School and other young people who h aye recently graduated from tie School for a new ath letic field on the new school site. In selecting the Allison property on Beach and Cedar streets it was said the members ot v the school board were in fluenced in their decision by the fact that this property offers such a fine field for athletics, and now that the natural advantages are available for tlie first time in the history of a school building here, it is to lie hoped that some means ran lie found where by they can he developed. Just how the field can lie laid off will probably be left to a landscape gardener to decide. If it is definitely decided to build the field, it is under stood that the expert will tie called in to conference and asked to give his advice. That means the field will lie systematically laid off ami construct ed. and will tie modern in every way. The Concord Rotary Club has tak en up the question of providing means for raising the money for file athletic fields and other organizations should co-operate with it in this work. The Rotarians do not expect to put the proposition over without the aid of anyone else, of course. They have tak en it up because it is a vital question, and other organizations or individuals who are interested in the youth of Concord should get behind the ques tion and help devise some plan whereby the tooney can be raised. Concord is one of the few cities of her size in the State that has no ath letic field or playground soy her chil dren. They deserve one. and we Should give this matter serious consid eration. COUNTERFEITERS ACTIVE. The practice of raising United States Currency above its face value or making counterfeit money has be come so general in the United States that, the secret service division of the government has issued a general warning to those handling large sums of money. And CarV H. Getz, an au thority on forgery and counterfeiting, in a late issue of Hotel Management. says “ninety per cent, of the money in circulation iff, the United States is iu the form of Federal Reserve Bank notes. Ninety-five per cent, of the raised currency in circulation are these \ same notes. Crooks succeed in chang ing the figures and the letters, hut they can’t change the portraits. If hank tellers, department store cash iers, railroad ticket sellers, and oth ers who handle large sums of money would memorize the portraits which ' appear on the different denominations • of Federal Reserve bank notes, there would be very little passing of rais ed currency. This ought to be easy because the portraits which appear on these bills are ones which every one remembers from school days. They are: On a *1 Federal Reserve bank note, Washington: on a *2 Jefferson;, on a sf», Lincoln: on a *lO Jackson, on a *2O Cleveland; on a *SO Grant; on a *loo, Franklin." \ Mr. Getz is right in bis declaration that- the average j»au and woman can’t tell from meniory the difference be- 'tween a *1 and a $3 hill, and suggests ! that the United States government should issue currency with each de nomination so distinctly different that | every one could quickly tell the differ ence between the various denomina tions. The nverage person looks for the figures on the currency to deter mine its value, and that is what makes their work So easy for the counterfeit ers. We doubt if there are teu persons out of each hundred who could tell off hand the correct portraits that appear on different denominations of curren cy. GOVERNOR SAYS HE HAS I’FT HIS CRITICS OCT OF BUSINESS Is Especially Severe on Josephus Daniels, Raleigh Times, Daily News, , Special to Greensboro News. Washington, May 22.—Governor Morrison .left Washington tonight in the best humor he has been ill since he assumed office. He said today the path ahead of him seemed to be “clear of every obstacle,", the tangle over the prison s ituation had been straight-' era out. and that he had given his critics a lesson in trying to put him “in a hole” that they will not “soon for get.” In other words, the governor, in the view of some cf his friends here, has succeeded in entic ng his critics .out on a limb. He lias now sawed off the limb ii-nd left them "floundering in the mud.” as one. such friend expressed it. The governor in conversation with friends, was especially .sgveriwan his criticism of Josephus Daniels, the Ral eigh Times and the Greensboro News He said the masses of the people of the state had always been with him since ho became governor, hut sumo of these critics had not been pleased with the great program he had mapped out for his administration and the splen diij achievements it had made in road building, education and the construc tion of hospitals and other cultural and humanitarian enterprises. These critics had seized upon vague and unfounded charges of prison graft and cruelty, not with a view to find ing out if there was anything wrong with the prisons, lmt to besmirch iiis administration. He had now thrown down the gauntlet and they had failed to pick it up. He had offered *4OO reward for any single act of cruelty reported as hav ing been committed in any prison camp in the state and no one had come for ward to claim the reward. The governor finally added that at the bottom of it was a case of "envy" on the part of small men. been use he had succeeded. They wanted him to fail and in their disappointment they uow feel "sore and wounded." The governor was reminded that his office has acquired the reputation of being a man-killer, two or three of his predecessors having wrecked their health in discharging its duties, lie said he had passed through the worst of the strain, and his health was now good and improving every day. His visit ,to the nation's capital, lie said, had been a tonic. The governor thinks McAdoo is the best chance the Democrats have for President, and that the state will lie for him unless seme of McAdoo s "of ficious friends become too officious.” TODAY’S EVENTS.

"When you see a bulge In a man’s hip pocket, do uot jump at conclusions. It is just as likely to be a Bible as a "flask, because. the Bible is "rapidly be coming the most popular hook in New York.” . This piece of advice was given yes terday ivy Commissioner Thomas Estill of the Salvation Army in an informal address to visitors at the Salvation Army headquarters, 120 West Four teenth Street. The visitors were men and women enlisted ns workers in tlie home service campaign. The: com missioner had emphasized the point that the Bible is the Salvation Army’s sole source of inspiration for its va rious lines of activity. He continued: "Among people of Broadway. Wall Street and Park Row. and in practic ally all of file business and profession al districts of New York, the Bible is being read more today than ever be fore. and more than any other book. At any time in these districts you can reach out tit random in the crowded streets and stand a good chance of put ting your hand on tlie shoulder of a person who either has a Bible in his pocket or at least keeps one in liis desk for daily perusal."

Some manufacturers here think that the wing collar will come into marked popularity iu 'The Fall. Current indi cations as seen by these wholesalers are said to favor this. There was er use of the wing tv]id last Fait, it is pointed out. but (his did not reach the proportions that were expected. In the coming season, however, the movement will h<jve the benefits of the efforts then made to popularize it, with the added support of the declared new trend in men’s styles for Fall. The main appeal of the wing collar is said to lie that it gives a dressier appearance, quite in contrast to the "lounge" effect of the medium-low starched and semi-soft collars which are in vogue. » Car and Negro Driver Captured at Danville.

THE CONCCfKb tCfltY TRIBURB , WORLD’S POPULATION IS - ESTIMATED AT 1,804,137,631 Only 7 Per Cent, of Which is in Cities of Over 1*9,909 Inhabitants. Berlin May 22. — Scattered over the face of the earth is a total imputation of i;504.157,031, only seven per cent, of which is in cities of more than ltX),(>0O inhabitants, according to sta tistic* compiled here and based large ly oik 1922 census reports. Only 30 of the 70 nations listed have cities of or above the 100,000 class, which is tlie lowest counted within the classi fication of "large cities." Approximately 40,000.0000 of the giohe's inhabitants live in the IS cen ters having a million residents or more each. About 90.000,000 live iu the smaller large cities., of whicli there are only “93 in the while world. The average large rity is said toi number some 320.000 souls. From these fig ures, it is stated, every forty-fifth hu man resides iu cities housing millions, while every fourteenth finds his home in a large city of some sort. New York is given as the largest city in the world, with u population of 5 020.048. London is second with 4.- 450.249, and Berlin third with 3,803, 770. Europe leads the continents In imint of population. It has six cities in the million class, London. Berlin. Baris. Glasgow. Vienna and Moscow, and 193 with iiiore than 100.000 inhabitants. Os the European countries, England has 53 large cities. Germany 45, Italy 16. France 15. and Russia 15. It is considered surprising that Asia lias more large cities than North Amer ica. Six of the 92 Asiatic cities house more than a million apiece. These are Shanghai, Houkau, Calcutta Bom bay. Tokio, and Osaka. British-indin is credited with 30 large cities: China lias 20. so far as available records show, and Japan’s number 19. includ ing three iu her foreign possessions. North America follows Asia with 79 large cities. Four of these. New York. Chicago. Philadelphia, and Mexico City, are placed in the million class. Os the nations on that continent, the United States leads with 68 large .cities. 12 of. which record more than a half-million Inhabitants. Twenty-four large cities are located in South America. Brazil having 13. Buenos Aires and Rie de Jauiero are the only million-resident centers. Australia counts eight large cities, none of which runs up into a million. (ISF.

Up in the northwestern part of In-! dia there is a great section of land known us Rnjputana. the land of the Rajputs. Some thirteen million peo ple call themselves of the prowl name of Rajput—and that Is indeed a proud name in India. For untold genera tions the Rajputs have been soldiers, holding their heads high, and fearing no man: Their land is a land of princes. Practically every person is descended from a a royal family—and every person looks royal. Many. - a heroic story centers around tlie Rh.i puts and many a novel has been writ ten alHiiit them. One of the true stories of the Raj put blood is the story of the "Dtrk eyod Rajput" who married the Eng lish officer. Colonel Skinner. Colonel Skinner was like one of Kipling's own heroes. He had advanced far into India at a time when India was not a British possession. He was blue eyed and fair, and in appearance quite unlike a Rajput. He was afraid of no man. and lie was a born soldier. Light-hearted, unbashed, he looked in to the eyes of princes. This soldier of fortune saw a Rajput girl of high rank and of unusual beauty. In a moment rnumnee sprang to life, and he loved her. It was no easy court ing. for such a courtship meant death perhaps, for both, but Colonel Skinner was unafraid —and the girl was a Raj put. They were married. In 1778 there waV horn a son. James Skinner, who was both a Rajput and an Englishman. Covered with her jewels and beautiful garments, tlie "Dark-eyed Rajput.” as tlie Colonel called her. held her little son close, and sang to him the songs of Rhjpu tanu. Years passed, and still she sang tlie heroic stories of the past. The hoy grew up. and became like a young prince. He remembered all his mother's songs, and as he rode in his dashing cavalry he thought of her. the "Dark-eyer- Rajput,” who had told him to lie brave and a Rajput. Re membering her. he would never fight bis people iu India. Hi* was more Indian than English, and carried her memory close lit heart. Next: Jacqueline Carrault, tlie mother of 'Robespierre.
