Saturday, Nov. 22, 1913. THE ASHEVILLE GAZETTE - NEWS. PAGE THREE SERVE LUNCHES IT TIE If Plan Works It Will Be Tried In the Other " . .. . Schools. it a anecial meeting of the city chool board held Thursday after noon. Superintendent of City Schools Harry Howell and the principal of the High school were authorized to make arrangements lor me serving nf warm lunches to the pupils at the High school during the noon hour. It is piannea 10 serve sanuwicnes, hot soups, hot . chocolate and many other things that are suitable for the lunch of a student It was thought at first that a kitchen would be con structed in the school building but this idea was abandoned because of the fact that the building is very old and it was thought best not to have any more fire In the building than was absolutely necessary. Mr. Howell says that he Is now planning to have the lunches served Dy someone at home and brought to the school, where they can be arranged In the way that Is desirable. . The main Idea In serving lunches at the school will be to keep the children off the streets during the lurchcon hour and to keep them from eating so many sweets. The lunches will be sanitary and will be prepared for as small a price as is possible. A room will be set aside where these lunches can be served during the winter months, thereby keeping the pupils from the outside when the weather Is had. If this plan works out well at the High school, and Mr. Howell says that there Is no reason why It should not, then It will doubtless be tried at the other schools, especially at Mont- ford and Orange streets, where most of the pupils live a long way from the schools. POLICE COURT Several road and jail sentences were imposed In Police court this morn ing, all of them being for 30 days; and most of the defendants appealed with bond fixed at $100 in each case. Today's record is as follows: Lillie Roberts was declared not guilty in a case of a disorderly na ture. A nol. pros, was taken in the case against L. C. Wilson, charged with failing to support his wife and fam ily. The attorney for the state told the court that he understood that the parties had been brought together again. in the cases of 10 white women he- fore the court on charges of a disor derly nature, eight were found guilty and given 80 days each in jail, while the other two were found not guilty. Those convicted appealed their cases and bond was fixed at $100 in each case. Paul Lyerly was fined $10 and the costs for speeding. McCoy Wilson, a young white man, was sentenced to serve 80 days on the county roads for assaulting Fred Whitaker with a billiard cue. The trouble took place in a poolroom in the depot section, and Whitaker ap peared in court with his head In ban dages. Wilson appealed and bond Was fixed at $100. Annie Pickens was found not guilty of assault. Johnnie Toung, colored, was given SO days for assault SEVENTH GRADES WILL BE MOVED TO Will Be Taken From High School During Thanks 'giving Holidays. , The seventh grades four in num ber will be moved from the High school during Thanksgiving holidays, which will last three days. The grades will be taken to the Montford avenue school, the work on the new addition having recently been jom plet'ed, There are now four beautiful rooms for which there is no immedi ate need at the Montford school. The seventh grades have been in the High school for several years, be ing taken there on account of the lack of room at the graded schools at the time, The grades consist of 7 A for boys, 7 A for girls, 7B for boys and 7B for girls, the students come from all sections of the city, . The rooms now occupied by the seventh grade students at the High school are poorly lighted, and the ven tllatlon is also very poor, so the re moval to Montford avenue is consid ered advisable. The change will be made during the three holidays that are granted the pupils of all the Asheville schools, at Thanksgiving. The desks will be moved, set up and ready for work when the student resume their duties after the holidays. FINDS GOOD ROADS IN SHELBY COUNTY Walter Toms Wray, district mana ger of the Mutual Life Insurance com pany, of New York has returned home after spending sometime at Shelby and other towns in that section. Mr. Wray says that he was agreeably sui prlsed to note the many improvements in Shelby and Cleveland county, his old home, and more especially In the Highways. The roads leading from Shelby in every way are under the highest state of improvement, and the highway leading to the Rutherford county line is being constructed to connect with the road at Hat Cave io as to complete the Asheville and Char lotto highway. Mr. Wray says that the people of that section are looking forward and planning to use this high way next summer on its completion as they can easily motor to Asheville in three hours. Advices from the national depart ment of agriculture to "eat what you like when you feel like it" Is not worth much to those who do not know where to get money enough to follow such advice. RAGE TRACK QUESTION -IS FOLLT DISCUSSED Stockholders of the Fair Think a Track Would Mean Much For Asheville. At the meeting yesterday afternoon of the stockholders of the Western North Carolina Fair association, the question of the advisability of trying to secure grounds for a race track was discussed at length Those who took part in the discussion were of the opinion that a race track would prove a great benifit to the city as well as eo the fair, it might mean that fancy stock would be brought here for the winter season, polo might be in stituted as one of the many outdooi sports, and a great added attraction secured for the annual fairs. It was freely stated, however, that If a track is built here gambling and question able features willu be altogether barred. Following the discussion, a com mittee was appointed to Investigate any available lands that might be se cured for the track and to make a report at the next meeting. The date of this meeting was not named, and it will depend to a great extent on the interest that is evidenced in the mat ter by the people of the city and sec tion. An important matter decided on at this meeting, was to have the annual meeting of the stockholders on the second Wednesday in January, Instead of April,' so that more time may be given to preparations for the fair of the following fall. Heretofore the of ficers and directors of the association have been considerably rushed In pre paring for . the various departments, but it is believed that this new ar rangement will Insure full attention to every detail of the fair. "Love never lasts more than five years," says a lady who appears to hare devoted some study to the sub ject. Perhaps it isn't as bad as she would have us believe it to be. She may have got her Information from Nat Goodwin or De Wolf Hopper. A theater manager In New York Is importing police- dogs to drive away ticket scalpers. If the dogs are intelli gent enough to distinguish between a scalper and a patron of the house the scheme may work, but what if it Is otherwise? The Idea seems to be Just a sensation. The Secret of England's Fine Roads. "What must Impress every visitor to England," said a man who had just re turned from that country recently, "is their wonderful country roads and city streets. Although I did considerable touring, I did not find a single country road nearly as rough as our own city boulevards, and the pavements of Lon don are Just as fine, although the traf fic is very much heavier than in any of our cities. It does not appear that the English build much better street pavements and roads than we do. The secret seems to be in the fact that they take care of them. Most of the streets In London are paved with creosoted block, and as soon as a small hole or depression appears anywhere there is a man on the job repairing it They follow up these slight Imperfections Immediately with small repair gangs and outfits. A little fence is put around the bad spot, and with their tiny kits of tools and materials the men quick ly replace the blocks with fresh ones or relay them with new foundations. In a short time there is no Indication of any break in the absolute smooth ness of the pavement, and only the fresh tar reveals the fact that the pavement has been repaired. In this way there is no chance for a pavement or a country road to get into such a condition that It finally has to be re laid, and this method also saves a great deal of money." 1 r A "warm" P- Breakfast m a Good, Warm Room breakfastthe kind that sends you out ready braced for a good day's work should be eaten in a warm room.

D.'S PASTOU Speech of Socialist In Answer to Dr. Aked's Attack Through Frisco Examiner. San Francisco, Nov. 11. The blow which J. Stltt Wilson struck In his speech at the Dreamland rink, previ ously reported In the Leader, against the hypotricial crusade on the "bar berry coast" resorts, roused the smug respectables of this city to fury. Herast's Examiner Induced Dr. Charles F. Aked, once famous as "Rockefeller's pastor," to deliver a most abusive attack upon Wilson, which was afterwards published in full In the Hearst papers. Wilson then replied to this attack In another address to a great audi ence in Dreamland rink. Sneered at Speech. "A month ago there was- a great excitement in this city among cer tain people, concerning the barbary coast. As I looked upon that spasm of zeal for a cleanup ofone street of the city, I could not but" see that the real issue was evaded, and that super ficial Issues were submitted to the most intense and excited Interest I considered the whole affair as a straining at gnats and swallowing of camels. "In an address I pointed out as definitely as I could that the present menacing form of the social evil In modern civilization Is one of the In evitable fruits of the capitalist system of Industry. "Dr. Charles F. Aked of the First Congregational church replied with a most terrific editorial attack against mynelf and my utterance. He char acteiizeu my speech as 'a sneer in three columns and rant in the re maining two.' Where I sum up my impeachment of capitalism as the real issue, he declares I have 'stop ped thinking and have taken to rav ing.' My appeal to establish social and economic justice Dr. Aked com pared to the wanderings of a lunatic who starts to travel from Berkley, London and Yokohama. "Again he lays the whip on . the low, common vulgar sinnerp who di rectly and personally are connected with commercialized vice. But the manufacturers, bankers, landlords and financiers these are conscience free, from this standpoint, Would not Throw "Mud." "And now I make reply to Dr. Aked and all of like mind in church and school and state. It Is not my inten tion to answer In detail Dr. Aked's utterances against me which I have quoted. Nor will I echo back to the noted preacher any language that is personally unkind or ungracious. I have broken bread with him under his own roof, and somehow I think Dr. Aked Is not altogether happy since he wrote that Examiner edi torial. "I want to tell Dr. Aked and all his school of thought that he nor they can not rightly discuss any moral and social problem without first planting the argument right In the heart of the wrong, injustice and outrage of captnllsm. "Any man or church which pro fesses to offer the Word of Ood to the souls of men and yet leaves the American plutocracy in the saddle on the backs of the people. Any church In this city or any other olty which at this date Is still at peace with capitalism Is a moral and spiritual tomb. . , The Argument. "Of all the relations which the teeming millions of the race bear to one another, no relation Is so sweep ing in Its scope, so Inevitable, so un esrnpable from the cradle to the grave as our relation to one another In getting a living. This relation of man to man Is called economic re lation.
