What Will Women Do ?
(Py the Made-In-Carolinas Association) -
One hundred thousand men and women in the Carolinas
can be put on steady and profitable jobs if the women of
the Carolinas want them to have employment. And this
new situation can be brought about in a mighty short time.
As a matter of fact, the women of the Carolinas hold the
key Ao and the bar on the door to Carolinas' greatest pros
perity. We can build up our industries and our cities
gradually, but substantially, as we have been doings or we
can have the greatest boom in manufacturing development
and civic improvement during the next few years that any
group of states has record of.
It is all up to the woman in the house. She does 0 per
cent of the buying for the American home. It is womaiK
who selects and orders the food with which man is fed. It
is the woman who buys the clothing for the children of the
household. It is woman who has the last word in the fur-
nishings that go into her home from sitting room to garret.
When the half million housekeepers in the Carolinas real
ize their tremendous power in the development of our in
dustries and begin to demand of their groceryman and re
tail merchant that they be shown Carolina products in com
petition with other brands, and when they begin to buy
these articles after fair test as to price and quality, the
mills turning out food products will begin to speed up, fur
niture factories now dependent largely on distant buyers
will find a new and strange market at home and garment
makers will be running overtime to keep step with orders.
It is not altogether the bank that extends credit or the
man who directs the operation of a business upon whom our
hope for industrial prosperity rests, but upon the loyalty
and the active interest of the million noble women of our
beloved states.
Joe Lynch Successfully
Defends Championship
Title Against Moore
Fight Goes Ten Rounds Without
a Knock-out, Lynch Win
ning on Points
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Sept. 4. (By
the Associated Press.) Joe Lynch,
world's bantamweight champion, got
revenge 'today for the 12-round victory
Pal Moor of Memphis, Tenn., scored
over him two years ago, when he 3e-
"1 feated Moore in a 10-round contest in
Floyd Fitzsimmons arena before 7,000
spectators here this afternoon.
Moore was all but knocked out in the'
seventh round but managed to survive"
only through a remarkable demonstra
tion of gameness. Lynch battered
him helpless rand groggy with short
punches to the jaw and Moore, sitting
in a neutral corner took the count of J
9 before staggering to his feet. The
champion drove him into the ropes
and knocked him down a second time
in the same corner. Moore again
waited for the -count of nine before
gamely struggling to his feet. Al
though hurt and badly dazed he was
fighting when the bell ended the round.
Previous to the seventh Moore had
piled up enough points in the second,
fifth and sixth rounds to give him a
slight lead, despite the fact that he
was knocked to his knees in the third.
Moore's freakish style of " boxing,
jumping in and out and hitting from
any angle seemed to bother Lynch in
the first six rounds and then Lynch
decided to do some Jumping himself.
He whipped over a savage short right
that shook the challenger to his heels.
Moore backed Mnto the ropes and
Lynch, after him, landing rights and
lefts to the chin until Moore, bleeding
and helpless sank into a corner on the
verge of a knockout.
When the bell ended the uneven,
round, Moore's 'seconds worJced Jrantl
cally over the challenger and- got him
into fairly good shape for the elsrhth.
Moore, although slightly dazed, backed
out of danger and kept pecking away
with a tantalizing Jefl. Lynch, how
ever, had the better of the eighth and
ninth, but Moore-came back strong in
the tenth and had Lynch backing away.
After the match Moore was examined
by a Chicago doctor, who discovered
that the challenger had suffered a
broken rib in the left side.
This was their second meeting with
the championship at stake.
Besides Lynch, three other cham
pions performed for the Labor day
crowd. Jack Dempsey, world's heavy
weight champion, whose schedule bout
with Bill Brennan was prevented ty
Governor McCray, of Indiana, appeared
in a four-round exhibition boxing two

Thompson a 200-pouncL Philadelphia
negro who has. boxed Harry "Wills

punches for the first two rounds end
was sick and weary at the finish. Andre
Anderson, a Chicago heavyweight fell

WARSAW," Sept. 4. Lodz, the textile
center of -eastern Europe, has owed
English exporters 2,000,000 pounds for
raw materials since before the war. A
commtttee from Lodz recently went to
I London to find a method of payment.
It was finally agreed that tno uoaz
debtors are to lluidate in 20 install
ments, one every six -months, but if
conditions improve the installments
may be sent forward at shorter inter
vals. The relations between Lodg and
English dealers in textiles always have
been close. Lodz bought Its cotton and
other rough materials in London. War
and the German occupation, followed
by German requisitions and the failure
to receive monies due from Russian
customers, prevented the Lodz spin
ners from meeting their English obli
gations. As a further evidence of British
fa'th in Polish Industry, the London
bankers agreed to help the Lodz in

SNAKE LIVES A YEAR WITH
PRACTICALLY NO NOURISHMENT
(Special to the Star)
NEW BERN, Sept. 4. How long can
a snake live without food??
B. B. Small, a resident of Carteret
county, believes he has answered that
question" by actual test in which the
snake used imposed the pain of the ex
periment on himself.
A year ago the state put a marker at
a sptot near Mr. Small's farm. This
was a concrete post supported by
boards, about four feet from . the
ground. In the marker there was an
opening Just large enough for the rep
tile to crawl into. Mr. Small said that
he saw It In there at the time; that it
was about four feet long and an Inch
and a half In diameter, and that it
could not possibly get out.
A day or two ago he went to the
marker and found the snake dead- He
took the body out of the crevice and
found that it had wasted down to half
an inch in diameter.

might possibly have gotten during its

Mrs. Harriss Is
Out With New
Evidence
"Tanlac has done me a world of goo
and I am more than glad to recommend
it to others who suffered as I did," said
Mrs. W. P. Harris, highly esteemed
resident of 405 Kingston Ave., Char
lot tt, N. C.
"For several years I was In a badly
run-down and nervous condition. I be
came so weak . my housework was
drudgery to me, and sometimes it
seemed I never would get through. I
would get up mornings after a rest
less night, with a eplittihg headache
and scarcely any energy left. My a.p.
petite left me, and I always had
trouble with my stomach after meals,
no matter how little I ate. Gas formed
on my stomach and the pains were al
most more than I could stand. I waa
dreadfully short of breath, and often
felt like I would smother.
"I read about Tanlac helping peopla
with troubles like mine, so I decided
