THE,. CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
By CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Wfftcr
Washington, Feb. 2.—Alexander D.
. Moore, just back from Spain, where
he spent several yeafe ns American
ambassador to King Alfonso’s court,
speaks extremely well of Gen. Primo
de Rivera, who ran the country, as
dictator, during most of Moore's stay
in the land cf the dons.
Spain suffered from three dreadful
complaints:
I—A long-drawn-out war in Africa.
'2—Too many advinistrative offi
cials. mostly no good.
3—A parliament which met peri
l odlcall.v and passed law^and passed
laws and passed laws until no Span
iard knew where he was “at.”
Rivera wished flTe African war
manly into France, which is having
her troubles with it now. He cut ad
ministrative personnel to the bone.
He gpt along without parliament. It
wgs all very high-handed, no doubt,
but it worked.
** * *
Rut laws? -
With no parliament., who was to
attend to them.
Why, the cabinet, to be sure, of
which Rivera was boss—and an ex
tremely positive One.
That cabinet worked overtime on
the code. Moore' couldn't help notic
ing it—Rivera was so hard to get to
when he had official business to
transact with him, he was so busy,
toiling with laws.
* * *
“What in the world,” wondered
Mcore, “can a country that's snowed
under already, Tip to its neck, in laws,
want with lpore and more?"
So one day he met Rivera and
asked him.
“Moore!" said the dictator, aston
ished. “What do you think we’re
doing? We're repealing laws. And
it's going to take us two years yet t<
repeal all that ought to be repealed.”
Post-an 3 Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York, Feb. 2.—Although plen
ty aif bearish talk is in circulation and
sentiment in trading circles continues
againstathe market, oil the average
demand and offerings appear well bal-
for tile time being. i
An easier basis for better grades
is reported in some centers but as yet
that 'has not gone far enough to open
the way for shipping for delivery such
cotton as could confidently be relied
upon to meet requirements.
The period is passing during which
bearish comparisons with the figures
of last year were expected, and al
though there is no clamorous demand
for'Votton. the movement to the trade
continues in fair volume and promises
to remain so. I’ort and interior
stocks are in excess of last year, but
with prices four to five cents lower,
that fact is not so impressively bear
ish as it plight otherwise be. In fact
tile situation seems pretty well cov
ered jfcy the price, especially its the
excess is obviously not weighing on
the market sufficiently to wear down
the near month premiums appreciably.
That may change later as predicted
in some quarters if the next . crop
makes a favorable start on an acreage
equal to the last, or greater, but that
remains to be seen and many hold the
opinion that within a cent or two of
this price the world would take all
the merchantable cotton the south has
or expects to raise plus what specu
lators, might be willing to sell.
TOST AND FLAGG.
Wider Streets.
Winston-Salem Sentinel.
There is no question but that there
is a strong feeling in Winston-Salem
to the effect that anything possible
looking to the widening of city streets
should be done.
And. of course, the longer definite
determination of the matter is delayed,
the more difficult the proposition will
become, .
This matter of widening streets in
a city the size of Winston-Salem is
not an 'easy one.
There will be difficulties in connec
tion with the matter, but it does seem
that there is enough determination
and public spirit and civic enthusi
ams in Winston-Salem to “put across"
the proposition.
All civic' forces should work to
gether to that end until something
definite is accomplished.

Embarrassing Moments
« - -■ ,
EMBARRASSING moments.
New Tork Mirror.
* One morning my employer tele
phoned that he wouldn't be in. I
thought it would be a good opportun
[ ty for me to look over his check
hook and ascertain the salary which
his former secretary was paid. I
\ was engrossed in the work wheq the
, door opened and my boss walked Into
the office, and asked me, “Is there any
thing particular In the desk which I
I wanted to see." : '
A girl who lives across the hall from
us always used our telephone, so last
week she came in and asked if she
could use the s 'telephone. I told her
I that it was out of order, and just as
she was going out the door, the tele
phone rang.
As I was getting ready to go out
, with my friend and he had not yet
arrived. I ] ev.nl a knock on the
door. Thinking I'd play a trick on
t J 1 ' 111 - I "'™t to the door with a broom
in my hand and said “Come in ”
\yhereupon I hit him on the head with
the broom. To my surprise, it was the
landlord, who started to give mo a
» « ra,l <l seohhng for hitting him on the
head with the broom.
f
I work for an electrical compartv.
and the boss had been complaining
i about the continued pilfering of elre
. trical bulbs. One evening I had oe
, casion to buy some for home use. aiid
i as I was strapbangmjf in the sub
way I let fall mv parcel, and the
bulbs burst. I stooped down to pick
the parcel up and accidentally toueh
| ed the foot of a fellow passenger. On
I looking up to beg his pardon I saw
it was the bys of the store room. Next
day I had difficulty in explaining that
| I had bought the- bulbs.
1 The best Similes of 1925.
The following similes were gleaned
by Frank IVilstaeh from last year’s
crop of writings:
Optimistic as a seed-seller's cata-
I°s- ' • or *;
Mad as a laughing hyena with a
split lip.
So dumb they had to burn down
. the kindergarten to get her in first
grade.
Felt like something somebody had
Qtdered and forgotten to vail for.
Stale ns last year’s batting aver
ages.
Useless as a tire pump in a canoe.
Low as a caterpillar's tummy.
Unimportant as a new scratch on
a four-yea r-old car,
Orowded as a bathroom medicine
■ chest-
A face as long as a winter's night
in Norway.
So still you -Jmar the microbes
gnashing their teeth.
Looked like 10 cents waiting to be
changed.
As .useless as a currycomb in De
troit.
1 aying alimony is like buying onts
for a dead horse.
Tiresome as a bed-time story on
Hu* radio. ■ i
So thin that her full face looked
'ike d profile. y
Ixmked like an accident going
some place to happen.
Stingy as the mail Yvho tried to
send a night letter during an eclipse.
Reputation as loose as a flapper's
galoshes.
Women’s dress is like barbed-wire;
it protects but doesn't obstruct the
view-
Beer Drinking Increases in Mexico.
Mexico City, Feb. 2.—(/P)—Tax re
oorts indicate increased beer drink
ing In Mexico.
Breweries paid almost 2.500,000
pesos in federal income taxes for 1925,
according to recently announced fig
ures. This exceeds former records.
AH Mexican breweries are con-'
ducting elaborate advertising cam
paigns. gome urge the Thirsty to
substitute malt for hard liquors in
order to prevent the possibility of pro
hibition.
Drink beer and thereby nip prohi
bition in the bud, is one of the slo-
lximi iiguung pnenoinenon coin
ga • monly called “will-o’-tbe-wisp.”
