Thej Nichols are building at the Southern * Kiwanis Club has long been actively; Pines Country club marks a new day out in that section. The Nichols house is close by the Country club, making the second new house in that quarter, the W H. Gage house being the first in the neighborhood. The French home on the hills at the ex treme eastern section is the first over seeking an enforcem«it body for the control of speed and traffic laws in the state, mostly through the efforts of former Congressman Robert N. Page and Col. Hawes, who have made a thorough study of the situa tion. At the Kiwanis luncheon at the Southern Pines Country Club yester- there, not including the Robinson | day Mr. Page anounced that owingr house, which is on land just outside the boundary of the Country club possessions. Probably the next house will be that 'by F. F. Travis, on location 212, as Mr. Travis is making his arrange ments with his contractors, and ex pects to have work under way as fast as the detail of the plans and of the construction can be completed. John Rowan has bought a location adjoining that of Mr. Travis, and will probably build before long. J. N. Powell has selected No. 304 not to illness in his family he would be unable to attend the Raleigh hear ing, and Col. Hawes was delegated to represent the club. The numerous automobile acci- denas on local highways, the viola-, tion of speed and lighting laws and other frequent traffic violations prompted the club to get behind the movement for a State police. MANY ARRIVE TO HUNT WITH MOORE CO. HOUNDS The Southern Pines hunting colony has been enlarged by the arrival of numerous parties, many of whom are staying at the Highland Pines Inn. James S. Wadsworth of Geneseo, N. Y., master of the Greneseo Valley Hounds, is among those down for sev eral months. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dixon of New York are the forerun ners of a large party, and the Chic ago delegation has been increased by the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Butler and Donald MacPherson, Mrs. MacPherson having arrived with others from Chicago a week or so ago. Mrs. Ernest Ballard of Hubbard Woods, 111. is her guest. Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Tompkins, Mr. and Mrs. William P. Willetts, Mrs. Landon K. Thorne and Mrs. James Forrestal of New York arrive tomor row morning for two weeks of hunt ing with the Moore County Hounds. They will occupy the cottage which they have had for four years during February, one of the Highland Pines Inn cottages. Mrs. William Henry White, of Washington, D. C., widow of the em inent Judge, and herself a reader and lecturer of note, is again at the Highland Pines Inn after a season’s absence. Mrs. White has always been a golfing enthusiast and will be an entrant in the February and March events at the Southern Pines Coun try Club. The residence of R. G. Farrell in Aberdeen, opposite the Page Memor ial Methodist church, was almost razed by fire which broke out about 6:30 Wednesday evening. The house was jointly occupied by the families of Garland Kent and James Hunter. They saved most of their belongings. The Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Pine- hurst and Pinebluff departments as sisted in putting out the fire. ! This from London— j “A woman walked up Regent street I the other day clad in feathers from head to foot. Her hat, dress and coat were made entirely of ostrich plumes She was the advance guard of the latest fashion which Paris experts are trying to introduce. Whole fem inine wardrobes, even down to “un dies,” are being made of feathers." That ought to tickle the girls.

After a thorough search it was found BEBE DANIELS TONIGHT AT ABERDEEN'S DIXIE THEATRE “Take Me Home,” the latest Bebe Daniels picture which comes to the Dixie Theatre in Aberdeen tonight proves a delightful surprise in the sense that Bebe Daniels has cast off the slapstick type of role for a bet ter dramatic one, and her characteri zation in her new role as a stage actress is exceptionally well done. Those of her fans, however, who like Bebe giving one of her charac teristic performances in a light com edy vein will not be disappointed with her latest offering. There is comedy in the picture, and it is han dled by Miss Daniels in her own ex- ct llent way. There are many light moments when the audience is lifted with laughter proving that comedy has not been clipped out of the Bebe Daniels picture altogether. “Take Me Home” is a comedy diama of back stage life. It is a story of a chorus girl and a love af fair which brought her success. Several other highlights are on the Dixie’s bill for the coming week, in cluding Zane Grey’s famous story “Orphan of the Sage” and an excel lent railroad picture Casey Jones. VALENTINE DANCE A Valentine dance is to be held on 1 the evening of February 14th, Val entine’s Day, at the Southern Pines; Country Club to which all and their | sweethearts are invited. Jack Ward- law's orchestra from the University of North Carolina will furnish the music. Important Resales at Knollwood Heights Robert G. Morrison had hardly gained possession of the fine new home he bought on Knollwood Heighte from Talbot John son before he concluded he wanted more ground, so he authorized Mason & Gardner to buy for him the two adjoining lots on the south if they could be secured, the Sutherland and the Irving Johnson locations. The owners were willing to part with their holdings, and last week the deal was closed. Mr. Morrison wanted the additional acreage to give room for more elaborate development of his sur roundings. Resales are becoming a factor in the progressive movement at Knoll wood Heights, a dozen or so being already recorded, and of course there is but one interpretation regarding a resale. The buyer puts a higher value on the property than it was given when the original transfer took place. Resales are an indication that the buyer who invested in Knollwood Heights for a profit was making a wise purchase. Prospective buyers now have two sources from which to secure Knoll wood Heights locations—Knollwood, Incorporated, or those property own ers who are willing to take their profits, and probably buy again. If interested get in touch with— KNOLLWOOD, Incorporated Pinehurst, N. C. Or any accredited Real Estate Agent in Pine hurst or Southern Pines Glenna Collett, at the Pine Needles, will aid those who would like I to consider Knollwood sites. I Jack Mulcahy has recently bought his third cottage at Pinehurst. It is lodged in an old tin can which had been overlooked when the trap was the Craddock, from Dr. John H. Par-i^aked. The rule is that no obstacle j nele, now in California for his health. I» hazard can be removed, but the Mr. Mulcahy is an old timer in Pine-i doubted if the legislators had hurst, having lived in the village about thirty years. In that long forseen the difficulties that might be put in one’s way by Messirs. Camp- period he has been on the staff atj^®^^ following, the Carolina, but has retired in good he went to the clulb, wishing circumstances. He has two other! mistakes to eliminate him from cottages, and in addition he owns the lease on the Market Square restaur ant, which he subleases to Mrs. Man- the tournament, only to find that a player who returns to the clubhouse once he has started his match is dis- ning, who was for years pastry cookj Donald Ross himself at at the Carolina. Mrs. Mannning op-!*^^ confessed that he knew of erates an excellent restaurant. Mrs. Mulcahy was also an employe for a lengthy period at the Carolina, where the pair made a vast army of friends. That they served satisfac torily is evidenced by Jack’s long term there and the fact that he is able to secure the holdings he has, and to retire from active busines. He took on the new property as a desir able investment, and he expects to stay permanently in Pinehurst, where so many years of his life have pass ed and where his friends are the en tire population that knows him. Jack Mulcahy is not the only Pine hurst employe who has been able to succeed financially It is the Pine hurst policy to stand by its force. no rule to cover the situation. What would you do under the circum stances ? It looks like the Pinehurst courses are to see much of Eugene Homans, one of “our rising young golfers,” this winter for he has decided not to go back to Princeton this term, after the loss of work caused by his oper ation for appendicitis, but to repeat the yhole semester next year. Mr. Homans, Sr., has taken a cottage for the remainder of the season. Subscribe to THE PILOT $2.00 Per Year Payable in Advance Last week this space was devoted to a bri-ef consideration of bank checks. The object was to assist readers to chrystalize into concrete form more or less vague ideas many people have about checks, facts with which all are somewhat familiar, but to which few have given definite thought. This is a continuation of the same purpose. As before stated a check is merely an order, and no bank is obliged by law or common sense to cash a check drawn on another finan cial institution or to credit it, or to accpet it as cash in payment of a debt. Nothing of value has changed hands until the money called for in such an order has been paid, and therefore when a person asks one bank to cash a check calling for funds on deposit in another, he is demand ing a real service or favor from the bank to which he applies for the cash, and unless he is a depositor in that bank he offers nothing in re turn. It not only costs the bank cashing the check something for postagie, book-keeping and so forth, but it is actually out the money represented until the check has been mailed to the bank on which it was drawn and word has been received that the check was good and credit has been given ac cordingly. So, the cashing by one bank of a check drawn on another is in reality a loan without interest for an indefi nite period without security, and the bank is deprived of interest on the amount called for during the time it takes to collect it. This process of collecting is calling clearing, and the farther the check has to be sent to be cleared the longer the paying bank must wait for its money. Therefore, if you bank in San Francisco or Honolulu or Timbuctoo, or have a check to your order paya ble in one of these places, don't be surprised or peeved when you ask a j teller in a bank in the Sandhills to J cash it if he frowns and says rather 'curtly, “We can’t cash that now, hut will be glad to accept it for col lection.” n Ladies’ New Spring Hats Are Here Come in and look them over and pick your choice from the lot.
