WHEN THE YOUNG GIRL I
IS .MOST ATTRACTIVE
Sweet Twenty-One Said to Be Taking
the Place of Sweet Sixteen.
At what age is a girl most attrac
tive ?
“Sweet seventeen.” it might have been
thought, judging by the lyrical writers.
Statistics, however, says the Westmin
ster Gazette, prove that the modern man
finds a maiden of more advanced years
a ipl experience the hardest to resist.
Twenty-one is the age at which the
greatest number of girls go to the altar,
while 24. it appears, is the Ideal, or, at
any rate, the most popular age for a
husband.
Divorce, while still a less popular
“habit" than in America, is progressing
ill England. Three thousand, five lmu
dred and twentv-two couples bacaiue
7t)44 individuals during the year 1921.
These features emerge from a survey
of the Registrar General's Statistical Re
view of England aud Wales for the year
1921.
Another fait revealed by tin* Review
is that losses sustained during the war
among the male population are still be
ing made good by an excess of boys over
girls in the number of children born.
For every 1.000 girl babies born in a
year 1,051 boy infants- appeared on the
scene.
The birth rate continue to (Recline. In
50 years it has dropped by more than
35 per cent.; in other words, where 100
babies are born now, half a century ago
there would have been 158 on the regis
ter. j
With advancing years women seem to
become more cautious about entering the
state of matrimony than do men.
No fewer than 00 octogenarian men
"took tiie plunge" during the year, while
but 12 women of similar age were mar
ried.

1 HENRY*. NOT A CANDIDATE.
Ford Says He is Too Bpsy to Run For
the Presidency.
Springfield. Mass.. June IS.—"l have
no desire to'be president of the Vnited
States.” Henry Ford said while stopping
over the week-end hefre oh his way from j
Providence. R. I. *to Poughkeepsie. N. I
Y. “I am too much occupied with my f
own affairs ro become the next presi
dent and T do not intend to run. All
this you hear about my name being as
sociated with the presidency, is news
paper talk. There is nothing in it.”
With the meeting here yesterday for
the first time of Heury Ford and Gov
ernor John M. Parker of Louisiana,
prominent Democrats in Connecticut
valley place high political significance
on a conference that took place in a
local hotel. The two men. both of whom
have been memtioned as possible can
didates for the Democratic presidential
nomination, met a large delegation of
Democrats from tliis section and finally
were closeted ill a room for some time.
Neither would admit that politics
had been discussed.
Mr. Ford took occasion to deny his
reputed sympathy for the Ku Klux
Klan. saying that he not only was not
, a member but belonged to uo secret
organization whatever.
After the conference Governor Parker
| went to Greenfield, where he spoke at
j the dedication of an Elks memorial ,
, statue. There he was hailed as the
logical candidate for president. A de
cided boom among the 10.090 persons
, here was evident for Parker.
There are fewer than a dozen towns
, in the United States whose names he
» gin with X. The most of these art
. Xenia*. «
Optimism parts the clouds and sorts
out the taugles, and costs nothing.

“The art-in-industry movement,

than in these domestic floor cover

made possible by a world-wide

DEDICATION-SERVICE 1
AT EP WORTH SUNDAY
Bishop Collins Denny to French.—Will ’
Be Red Letter Day for the Church.
Carpenters, painters and tinners are
now at work on Epworth Methodist
Church, getting everything in shape for i
the/dedication service Sunday. Several i
hundred dollars are being spent in paint- i
ing the church and in making some need- c
ed repairs. The Epworth congregation is '
determined that the church for which i
they have sacrificed and toiled through :
the years, shall he in as perfect condi
tion as possible when it is formally and ■
officially set . apart for the service and I
worship of God.
Sunday will be a red letter day i« the
Ijistory of this congregation. For tis- i
teen years they have been laboring and i
sacrificing for the splendid edifice which <
now stands at the intersection of West ’
Dei>ot and North Kerr Streets. At lames <
Ihc debt on the church has been heavy, J
and U was difficult to look into the fu- <
tine and see the time when it would be I
lifted. But these heroic followers of :
Wesley went to the task with a faith
that never wavered and kept at it till
it was finished. However, they are glad <
for me to say that through these years
of struggle to build substantial aid has
been rendered by their friends in the '
community, for which they are pro- 1
soundly grateful.
Now that the church, {or the first <
time in her history, is free from al finan- i
cial incumbrances, she is prepared to cu
ter more fully into the task of extend
ing the kingdom of Got! through her ser
vice to the people in this section of the
cite - .
All Iter friends are invited to be her 1
guests Sunday at 11 a. m. and to re
joice with her over the completed task.
Bishop Collins Denny will be here to
dedicate the chuich and to preach for us.
and if he lives up to the reputation he
has made since beginning his service as
Bishop of this episcopal distalf.t, h<( ,
will bring a message that will delight '
and edify the large congregation that is
expected to hear him.

Ships That Pass at Night Kiug a Bell
on Shore.
Vienna. June IS.—Austrian inventors
have perfected an instrument which au
tomatically and accurately records the
passage of any vessel over u given body
of water, night or day, to obsis'Vers who.
Anay be located on shore. As an aid
in catching smugglers, and a help to
coast defence in war time, the invention
I is regarded as distinctly valuabel.
The device consists of a small search
light /sending a ray no bigger than a
pencil across the space Iy be controlled;
and a receiving apparatus at the other
end containing a light-sensitive selenium
cell. Whenever a passing vessel inter
rupts the rays of tile search light, the
selenium cell closes a relay which starts
a bell Inarm, or operates a recording de
vice.
The instrument in question was tested
recently between two points three and
one half miles apart, in the outskirts of
Vienna, and the passage of every object,
as well as every person, was duly re
corded. These tests were made in
broad daylight, with a i>o candle power
incandescent lamp as the ..source of
light.

meeting and expressed his faith iu the
people of North Carolina and the Re

W. C. LYERLY.
Publicity Press Agent.
Hitting Below the Belt.
Charlotte Observer.
Governor Morrison's disposition to hit
back nt unfair and unjust newspaper
criticisms is understandable. Tile Gov
ernor is a fighting Executive. The
caution of conservatives in his Ad
ministration wild advise him to ignore
his critics seems, somewhat irksome to
him. As a result, of a recent editorial
f turn motion in one of the State papers,
champions of tlie. Governor are now de
manding to know of the consrtvative
element wliat they are £ning to do about
It V s
The false implications and Readier
ous insinuations woii'd justify resent
ment even in a Governor, these Ad
ministrationists contend. They cannot
gi.isp the idea of an official submitting
t.o such base attack without a rettirn
blow. They do not take kindly to the in
junction to lie down and take a beatiug
without retaliation.
Tlie editorial in question reads in
part ns follows: ’
"The Governor wonders why news
paper mien write so much ‘rot. - when
there are so many fine things to .rite
about. Tlie Governor is perfectly will
ing to change the subject, perfectly
willing n> discuss the rarity of a day
iu June, or tlie magnificence of a view
from the summit of .Mount Alitchell,
rather than the wreck of the' bank with
which the Lieutenant Governor is
identified and the wreck of the bank
with which the Democratic State chair
mini is identified. That is only natural.
Nobody likes to talk about ‘rot’ that is
discovered, so to speak, on his own
premises. The Democratic party is the
Governor’s political homestead, and
there is something dead there.”
The two banks in question are
National banks, not chartered by tlie
Slate, and beyond State supervision.
No State examiner ever possessed th#
authority to walk in and examine them:
that is done by the National examiners.
;The Governor hasn't much influence
! with the Republican National 4d
1’ ministration in \Vaskington. Prosecu
tions and the handling of bank failures
such as come within the jurisdiction of
, North Carolina—Htute hanks—fall to
the lot of the Corporation Commission,
and tlie Covernor. in public speeches,
has totally disclaimed any influeiic#
whatsoever with that body. So he really
would be isiwerless to prosecute . tip*
bunkers or to save them from proseou
tiosT*if dishonesty could be proved
against tlienj.
The people of North Carolina elected
1 the Lieutenant Governor, and the Demo
cratic party chieftains elected the state
chairman.
