P jr. x LOTS OF BEAUTY As one who has officiated at lots of beauty contests, and as one who got a close look at the contestants for the title of "Miss Elkin" down at the Lyric last Thursday night, we feel qualified to say that Elkin and Jonesville have a whole passel of might attractive girls. Everyone of them looked mighty pretty and they all de serve credit for still looking that way after what they had to go through with back stage, what with the' cramped quar ters, the pushing and crowding, and the heat. You may not believe it, but the footlights on* the stage generate about as much heat as a coal stove, and the stage j drapery and curtains tend to , keep the air from circulating. i For your information, the judges were all from out of town. One was from one of the New England states, one from Penn sylvania and the other from Win ston-Salem. Good News for Women Every day women are finding their headaches, nervousness, cramp-like pains, other symptoms of functional dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition are helped by CARDUI. Main way it usually helps is by increasing appetite and flow of gastric juice; so aiding digestion, helping build up users. Periodic distress is also eased for many who take CARDUI a few days before and during "the time." Women have used CARDUI for more than 50 years! Ey es Glasses Examined \\ jHfIjEV J) Fitted Dr. W. B.

As in the previous beauty con test shown here, a Jonesville girl won the title of "Miss Elkin." Wonder what they feed 'em over there? » • » THIS AND THAT Bill Rutledge, who weekly "peeps through the keyhole" for the Yadkin Ripple, volunteered to go to Finland in an American ambulance corps. A couple of days later, when Stalin heard about St, he hastened to make peace with the Finns. Bill may go yet, even though that particular war is over. It will be a nice trip for a young man, and in case his ship should strike a mine he will get to try out his new water wings. Had a letter from Shep Strud wick the other day. He's the young man who had the part of the doctor who had an attack of appendicitis in the movie "Congo THE BLKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CARbLINA Maisie." He said Ws next pic ture, soon to be released, will be "Dr. Kildare's Strange Case." Prom the way his letter read, Hollywood is not the bed of roses some people imagine it to be, but a place where folks have to work awful hard.,. He also said that Ann Sothern is a swell person to work with and a grand actress. We had a terrible attack of static electricity here at the of fice last Wednesday night a week ago. Electricity got into the newsprint so bad that the paper stuck together and was hard to get through the press and folder. But our scientist, Ot Laffoon, came to the rescue with num erous buckets of water. Every time a paper would gum up the press or folder, he would dash a [bucket of water on the floor. When at last we got through, the entire staff was sloshing around in hip boots. Ot is always .inventing some thing to overcome static. One time we came in and found the press all decorated like a Christ mas tree, pretty garlands of tinsel being draped artistically here and there. It looked very pretty, but didn't appear to impress the static at all. Another time he ordered some stuff guaranteed to overcome static. When it came it was ap plied as directed, and the static thrived on it. We always have believed that had the stuff been used in large quantity, we would have had a thunder storm right here in the office, with lightning and maybe some rain. We drove one of Errol Hayes' funeral coaches up through town Tuesday morning and not less than three people yelled out that we were in the wrong compart ment. A funeral coach has only two compartments, one for the driver and one for whoever is go ing to rest. Tsk, tsk. We approached this particular section of the column without even a fragment of an idea. And to make matters worse, Albert, demon of the linotype, perches himself behind us and just looks. Have you ever tried to do any thing that you weren't sure about with someone hanging over your shoulder just waiting? Come out and swing on our garden gate sometime.
