Hickory otigltt to put in a standard track and join the procession. ; While it must he admitted that the i races have been the biggest drawing card at the Cabarrus lair they are hut typi cal of the spirit that has made the fair n success. Tliis spirit has been one of progressiveness, and the keynote of the fair here has been money. It takes mon ey to get any fair on its feet and cash has been spent lavishly by the officials of the Cabarrus fair. There was no attempt to "put over" anything on the public. The fair was planned on a large scale and was carried out oil a settle equally as large. That's the secret of the whole thing. It takes money to get a fair going and money is just what was spent here. There were some people who thought $-0,000 was too much to spend on a race track for a fair in this county. Events have" proved that this belief was wrong. If the fair officials had gone about the matter in a cheap fashion they would have had a cheap fair. A large crowd would have been present on opeuing day. but after that the whole tiling would have been a frost. People won't spend their money on cheap amusements, regardless of what the amusements are. We believe The Record is right. If Hickory will build a modern track and barns, such as are found at the Cabarrus Fair grounds she can have a bigger fair that she has ever had. THE PRESIDENT AND PROHIBI TION. It was not necessary for President Coolidge to make public utterance as to bis stand on prohibition enforcement. Mr. Coolidge is President of the United States. Therefore lie is a law-abiding cit izen and regardless of whether or not he thinks it is all right for a man to take a drink lie knows that it is right for the dry laws to la- enforced so long as they . are on the law books. And the very fact that President Coolidge called the Gov ernors to Washington showed that he 1 was keenly interested in the enforcement of the laws governing traffic in liquors. The prohibition question is certainly to the front now and dry agents are more active than they have been since the 18th amendment was adopted. An example of this activity is given iu the campaign being conducted now iu New York City and other cities in New York State. • Governor Pinchot. of Pennsylvania, is actively engaged now in the enforcement of the dry laws. also. He has started an active campaign in Pennsylvania, and his actions havi been so thoroughly approved by anti-saloon league members and other • persons who favor prohibition that Wil liam Jennings Bryan, oae of the leading Democrats in the T'nited States; recently made the statement that he "would like to swap Governor Smith, of New York, a Democrat, for Governor, Pinchot, u Re publican.'’ % There is stronger indication daily that prohibition is here to stay, regardles of intensive campaigns that are being con ducted, by various agencies throughout thfci tuited States, to get buck beer and first step jn the march that lias the open saloon as its goal. That football is increasing all the time ih interest in North (JanliM is evidenced by the tremeadoos crowd that witnessed the State-Caroling lame Thursday. More than 12000 persons witnessed the game and there were others who were unable to get into the grounds. Athletics in col leges is getting cleaner each year, and this fact has much to do with the in creasing interest in all forms of college athletics. . SINK 10-000-TON BOX 107 FEET TO MARK IN TI BIJ Engineering Feat, Doubted by Many of World’s Experts, Accomplished in Hud son Vehicular Tunnel. New York Tribune. The engineers of the New York and New Jersey vehicular tunnel between Canal street. Manhattan, and Jersey City were jubilant last night oyer an engineering triumph that has engaged the attention of sub-aqueous experts around the world for many months. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon -the engineers and workmen on the big ebu erete-lined north caisson on the Jersey side settlod tile lO.OCO-ton box vertically into place on the capped con crete piles 107 feet below high water, and when the final adjustment and meas urements were taken as the huge bulk reached its final resting place. - it was found that it had been located accord ing to plan within a quarter of an inch. The caisson will mark an ail-shaft iu the edmpleted tunnel. Risky Feat Accomplished. The engineers have battled at times with wind, wave and title, and more than once received scares as the big steel box I showed signs of tipping out of line, but when the measurements were taken last night they forgot all of their previous anxiety when they, realized that one of the riskiest objectives of the project had been attained. A little job will have to be done later when a twin caisson is sunk immediately to the south of the first one. The worry of the engineers is over for the time being, but not so with the "sand hogs" who are at work on the bottom of , tlie caisson 107 feet below high water and I under a steel Hour of the caisson. These. j prime pally West Indian negroes, are now > working under an air pressure of forty-1 two pounds, and the working (Shift has been shortened to two hours for a day's 1 work —two shifts of one hour on with! four hours off constituting the working day. With a bonus added, the sand hogs are earning about slo~n day. but they don't like what they are doing just at pres-1 eut for the reason that in addition, to f tlie high air pressure they are compel!--1 ed to work iu a temperature of front-1401 to 150 degrees Farenheit. This heat, j with the hot coffee the physicians insist j upon theiv drinking in order that' tlie | pores of the skin shqll la- kept open, make even a two-hour day seem plenty | long enough., Compared to Skyscraper.

Mr. Holland said that the progress ou tlie construction was up to schedule. September was a record breaker in con struction. On the north tunnel on the New York side 257 1-2 feet of tunnel was built. On contract No. 3, running from the Manhattan side (MK) feet into tlie North River. 2,350 feet out of 4.025 feet are completed. In the soutli tunnel on the New York side tlie workmen are busy iu solid rock, and progress is slow. today’s Events Saturday. October 20. 1923.

Why Not Cold Prevention Week? News and Observer. So auother inquiry by scientists into the causes of colds is to be made. There have been a thousand more or less. Ayd still the folks keep right on having colds and finding life miserable # as a result. However there ape certain established facts about colds—knrftving and being guided by which colds can be. as a rule, avoided. Bodily resistance is the great essential in keeping off colds. That is; maintained by proper eating, proper rest and proper exercise. Over-eating, or ov er-working or tacky of exercise is calcu lated to bring ou a cold or to hiake one an easy prey to whatever germ it is which is lodged in the system results in a cold. Nothing worth while can be had with out effort. And effort frequently comes in the form of self-denial. Clogged stom achs very probably cause many more colds thau do drafts of fresh air. Tlie draft'may be the .occasion : the real rea son is in the condition of the body. The way to deal with colds is the same as dealing with fires. Precept them. Why should not the State Board of Health inaugurate a Cold Prevention Week V A day in the planet Eros is five a’ud one-linlf hours. ,T i j i j Personal !

DINNER STORIES t The mother of twins found them fight ing furiously. Willie, the larger twin, was on' top. - “Why Willie, how dare you strike your brother like that?” cried the mother taking the boy by the ear and pulling him off. "I had n good right to hit him,” ans wered Willie. “What do you mean?” she asked. “Why.” said Willie, with righteous air, "didn't I Tet him use my baseball bat all last Saturday on condition that he'd say my prayers for me all this week? And here I’ve just found out that he skipped three days.” Father (to Sammy, coming home in a bedragged condition): .Gr.eat Sqptt! How yon look! Sammy: Yes, Pa,' 1 fell in a mud hole.

A certain town had bought a new fire engine, anil the superintendent, after gathering all his men together, suggested 'hat an appropriate motto should be placed over the station. Tlie tiling was debated at some length and several suggestions were made. Fin ally one man rose and said: “I move the following motto: ‘May this fire engine be like all the old. maids in our village—always ready but never called for.” There had been a blowout, and the father of the family was perspiringly and profanely changing tires. "I don't see why you have to talk that way." said his wife reproachfully. 'You act as if it wtjre a total loss. You never see the good in things." "Well, what good is there in this*?" "Why. it tickled tlie baby so. He laughed right out loud when it went bank !" The .voting man arrived at the party ntitl made his way to the hostess, greet ing her and apologizing for his lateness. “Awfully glad to sec you, Mr. Jours." said tlie hostess. • "So good of you to •time.
