"THE ALAMANCE- GLEANER. VOL. XLVIII THE STATE FAIR. Gen- Pershing Wednesday—Football Thursday—Every Day a "Big Day " NOTHING KEHE.MHMNG GAMM ING ALLOWED. Raleigh, Oct. 3.—The annual . announcement of Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt, president of the Noivh Carolina §tate Fair, that nothing oven remotely resembling gamb ling will be allowed on the grounds during the 1922 Fair, which will begin Oct. 16, has met with hearty approval bv newspapers and in dividuals throughout the State. At the conclusion of the 1021 Pair, .the-first under her presi dency, Mrs. Vanderbilt announc ed that she would- mako every effort to see to it that future fairs would be statewide in fact as well as in name. Elimination of the games that have played a promi nent part in some of tho previous fairs is only a detail in Mrs. Vanderbilt's general policy of making the annual Fair a cross section of the life of North Caro lina rather than a mere carnival. Amusements will bo provided in abundance but they will not"be' tho whole show in themselves, but will bo incidental to tho exhibits in the 23 departments of the Fair, representing every phase of tho varied life of tho State. Ileretoforo the Fair has had to depend largely upon Raleigh and immediately adjacent .sections of ihe State but this year the sup port will be State-wide. Entries have already been, received from exhibitors in every section of tho State and every county will prob ably be represented in the thous ands of visitors who will come to Raleigh Fair Woek. The big foot ball game has always made Thurs day tho "Big Day" of the Fair, but this- year Wednesday will be of equal if not greater importance as Wednesday has been set apart as "Military Day" with General John J. Pershing the chief at traction. General Pershing will bo greeted by legionaires and others from every section of the State. * Tho Charlotte Observer on Sun day, September 24, the eve of Gharlott's second annual "Made in the Carolinas" Exposition, touched the scope of tho Fair in a broad manner. After graceful tributes to the services performed tlfe State by Mrs. Vanderbilt; Col. Joseph E. Pogue, for 20 years tho efficient secretary of the Fair; C. B. Den son, for 10 years its faithful treasurer and assistant secretary, and E. V. Walborn, tho manager of tho Fair, who camo to North Carolina after several years as manager of the Ohio State Fair, one of the largest in the country, the Charlotte paper concludes as follows: "Let this section of the State do its part toward making the Fair this yefir a success. It is not a Ilaleigh Fair; it is not a sec tional Fair, it is of State-wido interest and iu a very few years, if present plans work out, it is going to develop into a great ex position that will claim attend ance not only from North Caro lina but from tho ontiro South, II nas the rLht sort of human word ing material back of it." Southern Railway Buys 40,000 Tons 100-Pound Rail Washington, D. C., Oct. 2. Forty thousand tons of rail, most ly of one hundred pound section, to lay two hundred and fifty miles of track, have been ordered by the Southern Railway System for delivery during the first six n otiths of 1923. The new steel was purchased from the Tennessee Joal, Iron and Railway Company and will be rolled at its Eusley, Ala., plant. The greater part will be one hun dred' pound rail which/has been adopted by the Southern as the standard for its lines of greatest traffic density. The remainder will be eighty-five pound roll which is still the standard for main lines of secondary import ance. As this uew rail is laid, an equal mileage of eighty five pound rail now in service on the mayi lines will be released for use on branch lines which are now equip ped with lighter rail. Hundred-pound rail is *ow be ing laid between Washington and Manassas, Va., a dislanco of thirty-three miles, on tho South ern's Washington-Atlanta double track line and other portions of this line will be so equipped dur ing 1923 with the rail just pur chased. Nation-Wide Campaign to Elect Mrs. Olesen First Woman Senator. Mrs. Charles S Pillsbury,' mem ber of the well known milling family of Minnesota, has been elected chairman of tho First- Woinan-for-Senator Finance Com mittee, an organization of women created to bring about the elec tion of Mrs. Anna D. Olesen, the first woman to be nominated for the United States Senate by either of the major political parties Iu the membership of the First- Woman-for-Senator Committee are women from various states, and of Democratic, Republican and independent affiliations. They havo undertaken to givo Mrs. their help by making a nation-wide drive for funds Tcfbe used in her campaigu. Mrs. Ole sen's opponent in the Minnesota Senatorial race is Senator Kellogg, one of tho reactionaries of the lie publican Senate. Already many contributions to Mrs. Olesen's campaign fund have been received by the finance com mittee. Mrs. Pillsbury is doing effective work and is enlisting other prominent women in Mrs. Olesen'.* cause. News of Mrs. Pillsbury's election to the chairmanship of the Finance Committee of the First-Womau for Senator organization was brought to Washington by Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs of Birming ham, Ala., who reported that Mrs. Olesen is making a vigorous and resultful campaign in all parts of the State. Birds Carrying Water. How fclrds breeding ta dry places supply their young with water is il lustrated by the habit? of the Euro pean sand-grouse as observed in avia ries by the British naturalist, Mr. Meade-Waldo. "The male rubs his breast violently up and down on the ground—a motion quite distinct from dusting—and when his feathers are awry gets Into his drinjdng water and saturates the feathers of his under parts. When soaked he the motion of flying away, nodding Ids head, etc., then remembering his faw lly is close by, he would run to tli% hen, make a demonstration, when the young run out, get under him, and suck the water from his breast —the appearance being that of a mammal suckling her young. The young pass the feathers through their bills, and kfcep changing places until the supply becomes exhausted. Until the young* can fly they take water In no other way, and the cock alone gives It to the young. This practice has also been attributed to the red grouse, and It Is quite possible that other birds whose young are reared far ffom water may adopt it."

ISCia NEVER FOR SALE Three Things Which Are Not Put on the Market. Health, Happiness and Love Impos sible to Acquire for a Price— Error Some Women Make. "Don't cry, Am* 'arIIIJJL; ;he isn't worth It. You v tr« too kind and generous to him." Thus did a mother endeavor to soothe—lier daughter, who had Just been "thrown over" by the, man on whom she had spent the greater part i>f her earnings during ten of the four teen months they had been engaged. The circumstances which led up to her giving him money were excep tional, hut Anne Is by no means the only overlovlng girl who Was foolishly thought she could buy a genuine lover, a contributor to an eastern periodical Writes. When the gentleman In question first asked the girl to be his wife, he thought she was a dear little gill, who cotild earn a little, an'', ns he had a soft job himself, the picture of a home •and wife seemed very alluring. But, by carelessness, he lost bis position. AlTter a week or two of doing nothing, he hinted that it was not fair to hold her to th^y^gagement. If she had fallen In with his sug gestion and taken* iter freedom, In all probability he would soon have got some fresh work rather than lose her. But the poor, tpo-loving girl gener ously agreed to keep him In necessi ties till he got a place. The average man might have be stirred himself to repay this kindness, but even the. decent-natured men aro apt to value at nothing that which the,y get for nothing. The glfl who gives freely of her affection, and throws In money with the bargain. 1* usually regarded as nothing. Not only so, but In supplying a man with money a girt robs him of the best part of his manhood, and very often he turns against her Just be cause she has so robbed him. There are, of course, some circum stances in which a girl may wisely offer a little monetary assistance to her sweetheart, but even then, lu stead of buying an extra supply of affection from him, she is running the risk of being forced to receive Imi tation love Instead of the genuine article. Take the true case of a young girl who yfas not particularly pretty or attractive, but always had plenty of men to take her ojit. Yet never one did she become engaged. Her friends coujd not understand why, until It came out that she hart always paid for her share of the outing, and kept the various young fellows supplied with cigarettes, ties, socks and other things dear to the liearfWf men. She was trying to buy a lover, but in reality was only* paying lsavy In stallments on a brofcen heart. Ileal ,men don't use the frail shoul ders of a woman In order to climb Hfe'a ladder of success. They glory In feeling that they have done It all themselves. Even the worst of men will shrink when a girl first offers them money, but the taking of It Is, unfortunately; a 'ip'd* that Is soon acquired and very .it.nl to break. How often do we hear of lovers swindling their girls out of quite large sums of money and then leaving them in the lurch? Do we not wonder how on earth a girl can be so foolish as to lend her savings? One need not wonder, once one knows the trick. The man swindler who Is out to get money generally has some In hand, which he uses as a bait. He will take a girl out; If he finds she has any capital worth having,"he begins to splash his dollar or two about, and, without actually saying so, gives the Impression that he'has plenty. Then when ("he has (frown fond of him, and he is sure of "tils power over her, he tells Home .plausible tale— either his firm hns forgotten h'ls quar terly clHtfk, or the bank Is closed, or perhaps he will say ho lrtis Just bought a house. This last makes her heart beat with hope. "Oh, I ran let you have some money. Do let me len'l you some," hays the girl, thinking she will be endeared to him by her generosity, ami n!*o glad to help the man she loves. Much depends on how muelv he hope* to get eventually whether or not he accepts her tlrst offer, but he generally accepts loans from her until she has nothing left, and then he leaves her. So much for the rogue man. Since the fellow who Is really worth while Is also apt to become demortil >l*ed by being financed by his sweet heart, the very eruelest thing she can lo la either to offer money or entour age him to ask for Ir.

COLD DRIAIKS ON HOT DAYS Belief That They Were Highly Dan gerous !s Not as Generally Held as Formerly. |#P Medical men have Ihelr folklore, as have the people at large. Mistaken Ideas, sanctioued by time, die hard, even among so-called men of science. In the differentiation of diseases and the sorting of causes and effects it Is little wonder that there should have arisen confusion of Ideas that to a degree still persist. There Is a general belief that it Is highly dangerous to drink cold water in warm weather when we are very warm, and in a much recommended book on dietetics of the present cen tury-the warning ngalnst this prac tice Is down In black and white. If wo trace this teaching to Its origin, we find that the fatalities that occurred from this practice always happened when the temperature of the air was 85 degrees or upward. Tho symptoms described are those of sun stroke or' heat exhaustion, and the clinicians of the day had confused, or rather not yet differentiated, tho ef fects of heat suppression and the very different experience of giving the In terior of the stomach a cold bath. So strong was the belief that the taking of a cold drink, and not the inability to get rid of heat, was the cause of those p.nthologlcfl.l yataatro phes of hot woath»r that In one of our largest cities a century since the hu mane society placed printed posters on the public pumps, warning the hot and thirsty to pause before Imbibing and hold the cup in the hands until some of the dangerous cold was ex tracted from the water.

The bass, both large anil small mouthed, la n roamer. lie Is always lookiug for the place where the most food Is, and Is fond of variety. You can fish for him night or day, as he Is a 24-hour feeder, early morning and late afternoon are the surest times to get lilm right. ' , He Is an active rogue, and continu ally rising from the bottom to the surface, at times Jumping above the Water in pursuit of food. He changes his home and feeding ground as the season passes. In the spring he Is found In shallow water la streams and rivers, below rapids and riffles, and as the water warms up he moves to deep pools sheltered by logs, weeds or ledges. During the summer, ho nil grates to where tho water Is cool. The same Is true of the lake bnss. In the spring he treryients the shal low places, byt later lie goes into the weeds and Illy pads. The small-mouth bass favors stony bars or shoals vary ing In depth'from 2 to 40 or 00 feet, while the large-mouth prefers weeds und muddy bottoms. Mars Green as Well as Red.

SAID A LOT Wise Old Egyptian Prophet Set Forth Great Truth. That "New Robes 111 Befit a Map" la Pertinent Today as When Chipped on Granite. Centuries ago, when England wai a swamp, and our progenitors threw j 1 stones nt each other, Instead of using i machine-guns td kill people off, a wise old prophet In Egypt chipped away i with his chisel and mallet at a huge 11 block of granite, says London An- j ( swers. Time was kind to the granite, so j j that we can today read what he wrote, and benefit by his wisdom." lie wrote j In his quaint pictures: "The eyes of a woman see beneath ' the raiment. New raiment nevel j 1 alone won a heart. New robes 111 befit a man." Today, when we are advanced In | ] civilization until we can kill man by i touching a spring when they are so | fur away as to be out of sight, we , may still read what tho old man j wrote. Ills wisdom has come down to ns through the nges. What he would have written today j on his typewriter Is" probably: "Do j not-wear your best clothes when you 1! propose." How much easier to touch the keys than to chip things out on a j block of granite! But how muchj more lasting Is the granite! And one would taker"good care that one had something worth writing about be- '' fore spendtiig weeks transferring It to stone. Yet are Vis sayings!] Women changed but little since j the days of the Egyptlnn kings. "New raiment never alone won a heart. New robes 111 beflt a man.'' New clothes mask tho force of a man's personality, for„only clothes to which one Is thoroughly accus- j tonied can bring out the full force of tho personality. What do new clothes do? At best j they do nothing hut add an extra \ smartness, which Is probably worth- j less, for no woman Is captivated by | mere dandyism, though the pride of j acquisition which most women pos sess will often give the dandy an ephemeral success. A man In new clothes may bo very Impressive from a sartorial point of view, but he Is little more than a tailor's dummy; his clothes have not become molded to his personality. A hat -that has been worn for some time becomes part of its owner. »It i becomed an expression'of him; It Is possible to tell what sort of a fellow | he Is from It. Ills Individuality Is j not hindered but helped by It. He ts [ perfectly free to tulk through it! TJrat wise old man knew ail this, | as he tolled away so that- yoti and I j might read It. Millions finve lived! and died, and never given a thought to the newness of their best Sunday suit; but he thought It all out, and let us know about It. ' Of women he writes nothing. Per-' haps he realized no man can under stand a woi.iun, or his time was too valuable or granite cost too much. Id any case, he does not tell us whut a woman should do about her clothes. I The modern woman needs no clothe*} to bring out her personality;) she relies on her physical beauty, and , she certainly does not attempt to con ceal too much of thst. New clothes j have no effect on charm and bodily; grace In so fur as masking goes; on the contrary, they help to show It up. 1 So the teachings of the wise old mnn do not apply to the fairer sex;! arid. In any case, no mere mnn should profess to lay down the law. Let women linve their new hat and gowns.; We men must remember the laws of , the wise old man: "New rolies befit a man." .It I* unwise to try to Impress a woman with a display of untarnished.l raiment. So If you want to make j love do not wear new clothes. Daily Thought. To be seventy years young Is some- times fnr more cheerful and hopeful ' than t'i b* fnrty years old.—Oliver i Wendell Holmes.
