Friday, May 7, 1926 WHAT’S SMART IN MEN’S WEAR i 1 Dixie Weaves of light weight tooolens and worsteds, give you style with sum mer comfort MOST of ns do our playing in the summertime. That’s vhen yre get our vacations; when we do our traveling; when we «it about with well dressed peo ple on hotel verandas; when we foregather at country clubs; when our appearance means * more to us than at almost any other season. It is also the time when com fort is of prime importance. We must keep cool if we are to enjoy ourselves. The problem of summer style with summer comfort has long been a difficult one. Attempts have been made to solve it by creating clothes out of cotton, Minen and silk. They all have -®ieir drawbacks; they wrinkle; soil easily; do not keep their shape. With all his ingenuity man has never been able to find or invent any material to compare with wool for the making of clothes. Nothing else tailors as well; holds its shape; gives such long wear. Wool is famous for keeping you warm; the general supposi tion seemed to be that naturally it could not keep you cool. Sci ence, however, has shown that you keep your coffee piping hot or your lemonade ice cold when you go on a motor trip in exactly the same way. Woolens and worsteds are now woven in such light fabrics that they are just as cool as cotton or linen. These light fabrics or “Dixie Weaves,” as they are Further Support For Hausen Re lief Bill.

USE PENNY COLUMN —IT PAYS DARWIN’S SON WOULD CONTROL BIRTH BY LAW i I Descendant of Evolutionist Wants i Very Pear Parents Allowed Two Children. London. April 24.—Two ehiidren ! only, far the very poor—with drastic penalties, inc'uding separation and segregation of the parents, if this number is exceeded—is the proposal made for the preservation of the best racial standards, by Major Leonard Darwin, son of the fnm'ous evolution ist, in his latest book published here. iSajcr Darwin, who was the four th son of Charles Darwin, is a dis tinguished scientist and traveler. He was President of the Royal Geo graphical Society from 1908 to 1811, when he became President of the Eugenie Education Society. It is on | behalf of this society that his book ! "The Need for Eugenie Reform” is published and he takes a difference stand against parenthood by the un fit. which he describes as a crime against the community and the fu ture race. , Child Allowance. \ It is not only the physically and mentally “unfit” that Major Darwin would restrict, in the matter of par enthood, however, it is the very poor folk who cannot properly afford to support large families by their own efforts, or from their own resources. Such people—those in receipt of "public assistance" —Should be al lowed two ehiidren, and no more. They should be warned not to have any more. - "The proposer! deterrent should be known by all to be certain to follow immediately on disregard of a warn ing given, and it should be, sufficient ly drastic to strike te imagination of even the dull-witted,” say Major ■ \ Darwin. Everybody reserving fi- j j lianeial nid from public funds, ] | whether in the form of, indoor, or j i Outdoor. ''relief,” unemployment I doles, insurance payments for health, i free feeding of their ehiidren at | School, etc., should be “warned" that 'no more children should be allowed to appear. j As soon as a third baby appeared, I the parents should at once be cut off from public assistance, and there should be "the maintenance of a spe cial watch to ace that the family , was being reared under decent con 'ditions in regard to accommodation, food and education, When the warn ing was found to have been negleot. Vd child having made its appearance, j and when also the family was found) to be living an uncivilized life, all its j members should be segregated in some suitable institution," says Dar- I win. Separation of Parents. I The segregation of the parents would he accompanied, of course, by separation, because the aim would be to prevent ‘hem having any more ehiidren. "If it became known.” : argues Darwin, “that all this would be the inevitable result of pnrent i hood under these conditions a fall THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE would take place in the hirth-rnte of all this section of the le>u fit, with great beneficial results bith im mediate and racial. "With regard to the more imme diate results, these would consist in the prevention of an increase of lhat misery which is now suffered by poor families, especially by such as are already numerous, while as to the ultimate consequences, the less fiit would thus be gradual y reduced in numbers, with a corresponding lightening of the burden certain to be thrown by them for an indefinite period in the future on their neigh bors.” Are We Returning to the Non Key TypeH Major Darwin docs no-, .-.n-gest that we are actually returning to the monkey type, but he contends that there is proof that the more de sirable elements of the population are decreasing, while the less desir able increase. All the facts point clearly, he says, to the probability of a downward trend in all the high est qualities of the nation. An Idle Brain is the Devil’s Work- Shop. Monroe Journal. A Monroe mother came in and asked if we could give her son a job after school is out. She said she was fearful to allow him to run at large with other boys who had noth ing to do. The lady is right. She • well knows an idle brain is the devil's workshop. But we couldn’t use the boy during the summer months Because we have boys waring throughout the year af ter stfiool and on Saturdays that come first when regular jobs are to be had. The tragedy is that there | will within the next few weeks be ! dozens of boys in Monroe that ean- I not find employment. Now, just suppose that Monroe public schools should have had dur ing the past year a vocational in structor and the youth in high sehoo's I had been taught how to work wit’ll their hands. Suppose again, during , the summer months the vocational ; teacher should rig up, say a wood , working plant, and make axe handles, ■ shuttles ‘ for cotton mills out of our persimmon trees, wheel barrows, cedar chests from Union county cedar trees, or innumerable things that could find a ready market—wouldn’t that be great for our boys? i Further, again, wouldn't it be fine' ! if some of our boys might be taught i how to build handsome fences out of the fine boulders and stones that are in the way of our farmers in their fields. 'Too, these same stones could be mled in building barns, for houses and homes for people to live in. Let's find jobs for our boys who want employment. A new variety of wheat, yielding a useful crop with little rainfall, has been developed by Frank Lareombe, a farmer, of Alberta. |j pin "" '1 GAS Offering you “an interest in the business” II IE wish to announce to our customers and all residents I VV of this community a forthcoming issue of 7% Preferred Stock of the Southern Gas and Power Corporation.

IH . v 1— ’—^ —— ——y | LOVE LETTERS THAT WERE READY MADE Models of the “Gay Nineties” Re vealed at Book Sale—Methods Dif ferent Then. New York Sun. How they made love in Philadel phia in the “gay nineties” is revealed j in a model letter manual of the pe priod, which attained a wide sale in its day. It was published in this city in 1888 and written by a Phila delphia. Recently unearthed in a public sale, jt throws an illuminat ing light on what could bo sold to the tongued-tied, inarticulate youth by folks of that day, says tile Phila delphia Inquirer. In this letter writer can be seen how the youth of the Quaker City were being carefully instructed in the most dignified amorous etiquette. Tact for every conceivable occasion aris ing from the tender passion is liber ally provided for in the prudent “model." Courtship nowadays is confined us ually to the two words, “Willa?” and “Y’betcha,” which are neither Rus sain or Czechoslovakian, but pure American dialect. Written communi cations according to the best letter manuals of the day seem to be of tel egraphic form, and do their best not to exceed the ten-word limit. Rut the incipient lovers of 1925 had better take a slant at. these de liberate, roundly phrased epistles and ponder. What was the divorce ratio of that time compared to the results of the 1922. 1923 aud 1924 models in courtship? “A love correspondence is preceded by a personal acquaintance or by the introduction of the gentleman to the lady,” says the careful teacher, -who will have none of these impulsive stage door notes and the like. “Sweet Cupid” Government “Hence some remarks on the sub ject under consideration may possibly meet with a cordial reception among those ladies and gentlemen who under the supreme, government of sweet Cu pid make letters repositories of the secrets of their hearts with the ulti mate view of worshiping in close un ion at Hymen’s altar.” Could anything be sweeter than “supreme government of sweet Cu pid.” which, after all. is only an other way of saying “knocked for a goal by a sugar sweetie?” Picture the reception Miss 1920 would give such a moving introduc tion to a proposal missive: “After my first meeting and con versation with your, dear madam, I feel myself irresistibly drawn toward you. You permitted me to call on you, and I derived unutterable delight from the interviews that followed. The intensity of this delight I soon perceived to have grown into a pas sion of love that controlled all my j thoughts and inclinations. Yes, dear I love you!” ‘Another, that the “heavy sugar ba- : hies," erstwhile dignified pillars of society, might adopt, with an eye to the breach of promise court and its publicity, is this: “Since I had the happiness of being —————■ mmmmmm ——■—l in your company, dear madam, I was so perplexed with feelings of delight, fear, love and other inexplicable con trarities, and I am still so distracted under the powerful influence of the one, only one passion, that my pulse beats in feverish heat, while I hesi tatingly confess that I love you.” And this, for the distracted sopho more to the particular star of the stage that happens to be making bis college town her home at the time;: "I have imposed restraints upon my heart in suppressing the feelings; that hold undivided empire over it, I can bear this condition of anxiety and unrest no longer, and must open my heart before you, show you the love that expands it, the pure and true love to you,” and so on. How to Break the Ice. How to break the ice after the first shaft of love has been received is the subject of another set of model let ters under the heading of “Courtship and Marriage.” This was the mode of informing the dizzy flapper one had met the night before that she was the cat's pajamas—in the language of 1888, in Philadelphia: “I am fully persuaded that you do not expect me to’ be so bold as to speak of the more than ordinary feel ing of high respect and esteem which dictates this letter; and yet the im pression you made on me by both your appearance and conversation and my attentions to you, in response to ' that expression, were not entirely dis , agreeable to you, are of such a pre ' dominating power in my thoughts, imagination and feelings, that I as I humbly and respectfully venture the declaration”—catch your breath ! ] “that I shall feel proud and highly honored by a further acquaintance with a being the very thought of whom affects the pulsations of my heart with an inexplicable sweet vi vacity.” To an acquaintance of further standing it is permitted to indite the following, though, as the imaginary writer of it says, “this is not the out break of a sudden passion.” “The emotions you have created in my heart cannot be entirely unknown to you. I have naturally and inad vertently betrayed them, but I was | never courageous enough, plainly and openly, to confess them to you—a re spectful timidity paralyzed by tongue whenever it was chosen to be the her ald of my feelings.” Papers Filed in Norwood Appeal. Greensboro, May 6.—Attorneys for J. D. Norwood, formerly chair-, man of the board of directors of the People’s National Bank, of Salis bury. today, had filed here the final papers that make up hia appeal from the three-year penitentiary sentence imposed upon him in fed , eral court here last December for' i violation of the banking law.

Salisbury, May C.—As dramatic an! incident as ever was witnessed in Rowan court house took place this afternoon when the love and devo tion shown by Mrs. E. E. Saunders, a bride, won for her husband re lease after n sentence of twelve months had been pronounced. Saund ers, arrested with another man named Luther Saunders, but no kin, and Roy Spry, for larceny of cigarettes from a box car, pleaded guilty and turned state’s evidence. The other two fought the case but each of the three were sent up by Judge Bryson for twelve months in one case and in another, a suspended sentence of two years was given. During the hearing of the case the attention of the whole court was at tracted to the little woman who was so attentive and solicitious of her husband’s interests. When the sentence was pronounced! the bride found articulate expression j in an appeal to Judge Bryson to send her up and release her husband. His honor was visibly affected and attorneys said it was the most dra- j inatic moment, they had ever wit-I liessed. Saunders and . the others,] however, were sent on to jail, but, later in the day he waa recalled and I released, Judge Bryson telling the little woman that her appeal was more than he could stand. About Mencken. Dearborn Weekly. “Speaking of Mencken, I long ago outgrew, if ever I felt twinges of the fear that he was a corruptor of. youth. It is a rather noble charge j to make against him anyway, since it was the charge brought against Soc rates. Mr. Meeken is a case of ar rested development. He is like a doll, or a side-whisker, or a cane—he j marks a stage. All youth passes through the Mencken stage. But Mencken doesn’t. He has got stuck : there. That is What makes him j Meeken. The girl comes to the doll stage and passes it. The boy comes to the whisker and cane stage, and. passes it—if he is normal. Youth ! tyteies to the Mencken stage—aud, pV-sos it. We have all been Menek eiify ’s. of one degree or another, but we 'Outgrew it. Life pushed us on. It pushes everybody on but Mencken, and the few who, like him, suffer from arrested development, from the fixed angle. There are always those places and (haraeters along the way of life, like cheapjacks on the way to the fair; they are hart of the Wenery, bnt they are not moving with their i times. To admire the Mencken type is toindicate that one has reached a certain stage; to continue to follow him, is to indicate that one has stopped.” Western Palestine an area of 10,000 square miles, people by ap proximately 185,000 M oslems, 125,- 000 Jews, and 75,iM0 Christians.

Sueh was my experience when I lost my ; good health. But fate was kind to me, in that I found HERB HERB JUICE in time to save me from further suf fering and today I am well and am enjoying good health once more.” Mr. Walter B.
