Otherwise she is unclad., ":Shf h" fallen in apparent exhaus tion in the midst of the dance. Then en ters the villian and a slave. The villian carries a shining silver sabre. Approach ing the girl he lifts her to his shoulders and they begin a frenzied series of con volutions. Suddenly the cord holding the strip of cloth about the girl's breast be comes caught on the handle of the sa bre. . - .., . ( Horrors, the cord breaks.

The dance has ended. . Another at 2 A. M. I At 2 a. m. we entered another resort Unlike the first, this place is small and in timate. Having no reservation we had con siderable difficulty in obtaining a table, but were finally accommodated. This is one of the newer cafes and is apparent ly in its first flush of popularity. As in the first place liquor was circulating freely on every hand and the entrancing strains' of the jazz orchestra kept the dance floor filled. : ' i , - Promptly at 3 o'clock the lights were dimmed.' Green spotlights were thrown on the center of the. dance floor. The exhibition , dancers are ready. First en ters a man dressed as a South Sea Is lander. His skin is stained a brown hue. He places four painted pedestals about the floor, then sprawls in the center. Then four hula hula girls enter.. All are very young and comely. They wear no clothing worth the name. The principal part of their costume is a flimsy shred ded wheat - skirt and narrow garland about the bust The dance they perform is a series of wriggles. . . : The leading danseuze is an American girl who became famous at the height of the shimmy craze a year ago. Her mus cular convolutions are remarkable. ' As she steps around the edge of the dance floor within a few leet of Uie gentlemen guests, she diect9 her attention first to ward one man, then another, meanwhile performing a shimmy writhing that would arouse the envy of any Hawiian belle.,. Finally: the - dance ends. The dancers, with graceful, creeping steps, wend their -way among the tables to the exit. ' ; '; '. ,' . Then Many CoupUs. ' ' Then the orchestra begins an exotic whininz melody. The floor soon fills with closely dancing couples. The wrig gly exhibition seems to have exerted an influence on the dancers. The body of many of the couples quiver rythmically to the music This resort remains open until 6 o'clock in the morning. It seems to be one of, the most popular in the city, and its patrons are of the very highest class. Money seems to mean nothing whatsoever to them. At another of the new midnight-to-dawn resorts the exhibition dancing is practically the same in. costume and characteristics. Here four girls precede the premieroj danseuse on the boor. Their costumes are abbreviated but more ex tensive than that of the leading dancer. Her skirts consist of a string of beads, at first glimpse she seems to wear runn ing else and this is the impression many spectators receive. However, there is a slight silver base beneath the beads. Surpasees "Gay Paree." - This place, like the other, is open un til 6 a. m. Both are known as clubs. Another of these clubs visited specialize in its music. The place is named after one of the most widely known kings of jazz and this individual feeds his pa trons on a diet of hypnotizing harmony. Here i also a cabaret program. But the costumes are considerably more exten sive than in the other clubs. -Famous old Greenwich Village is not omitted in this sudden-wave of wild nfaht life.

' "Earthworms do not have feet or claws; therefore, how do they dig Into the ground?" They digest the soil by swallowing the dirt as they go. The soil passed through the body of the worm and then it is pushed to the top of the ground. It is estimated that about ten tons of soil per acre passes through the bodies of these worms each year. How are earthworms beneficial to the soil and plants? By opening it, up so that water can enter, by enabling plant roots to erow deeper, and by bringing up to the surface soil from which the various plant foods have not been taken. , A Tip., If physical culture is so necessary for town people, why can't they go out and help the farmers part of the time? St Louis Globe-Democrat. ; ieizure ot ny illicit distilleries .in North Carolina during May by federal officers, making a total of 635 the first i.. - uiontiis of 1923 and the capture of 307Q. gallons of malt liquors since January 1st are revealed in the report of Prohibition Director R. A. Kohloss, of Salisbury. For prohibition -officers, May was full of activities and a record. surpassed only by several of the larger States of the country, was made here in North Carolina. Many of the "raids" were : replete with dangers and thrills. Shootings, just short 'of fatal, occurred in several in stances, it is said. And too, May was a month, of trials-court hearings and sentences. Judge Webb, sitting in Wilkes county, meted out portions of justice to apprcximately 200 cent icted moonshu ers. v 2. . ', . . ' According to official estimates- noted in the report, property appraised at $159,33925 was seized and destroyed, according to legal processes, the first five months of the year. During May, $30,294.25 of "moonshine parapherna lia" was seized and destroyed. ' The report shows that 76 arrests were made in May and 287 so. far this year with a total of 775 prosecutions recom mended. , -' Following is a report of the work for May with respective, summaries: f Number of illicit distilleries, 119; il licit stills (incomplete,) 20; still worms, 29; gallons spirits, 956; gallons mash, 6,095; fermenters, 966; j automobiles seized, ; 10 ; value automobiles seized, $4,050; total appraised value of prop erty, seized and destroyed $3,295.25 ; to tal appraised value of property seized and not destroyed, $4,49535 ; amount proceeds sale of seized property, $155. 10; amount expenses incurred incident to seizure and sate, $19.30; number of arrests, 76 ; number of ; prosecutions recommended, 169. . .

If the issue of permitting dis tilled liquor to be sold in the State in any other form were presented, it would be defeated heavily, although not so overwhelmingly. If the issue of permit ting the sale of light wanes and beers were presented, in all likelihood it would be defeated. In other words, North Caro lina is really a prohibition State, of choice and not of necessity. . And yet.' even in - this prohibition State, there are plenty of men who, so far as North Carolina is concerned, are Stout prohibitionists, who are ready to admit now that in forcing prohibition upon States that do ,not believe in it and do not want it wer went too fast and too far. Three years after the en actment of the amendment to the feder al constitution the situation is 'growing appalling. An army of federal prohibi tion agents, whose salaries run into many millions, has not been able to sup press ,the traffic. The moonshine indus try is flourishing enormously. Bootleg ging has come to be an enterprise en listing great sums of money. The last year, has witnessed the ' appearance in Greensboro of a phenomenon that in the wettest days of old would have been regarded with stupefaction and dismay the phenomenon of women in public places drunk. Of course, it has always been commonplace for a street-walker to go on a tear and fight; the police; but we have reference to altogether another class of women girls of good family and recognized social position have been appearing in public soused to the gills. ; Why ? ' Because it's an adventure to take a drink now. It argues one s ability, or one's .friends ability, to put some thing over on the law. Its not just any body and everybody who can do it or so these foolish girls think. When liquor could be purchased openly, or shipped in rith little difficulty; women j who drank were? simply . vulgar. 1 Now they are high-spirited And there you are. And what applies to women applies with far more sweeping effect to men. It, has long been a standing- jest that the enactment of national prohibition has wiped the word "No" 1 out of the oc casional drinker's vocabulary. He never refuses now. . To add the final touch to the incred ible situation it has just come to light that the biggest purveyor of intoxicat ing beverages in the world is none other than the United States government The shipping board, a department of the government, operates an enormous num ber of passenger ships, and on those ships liquor is sold as soon as they leave the territorial waters of the United States, the profits going to the govern ment. Thus the government is doing what the organic law forbids its citizens to do in their private capacity; and every taxpayer, in theory at least, is sharing in the profits of the liquor traffic on the high seas. The shipping board has made lkyior dealers of the last one of us, in cluding the illustrious Mr. Volstead him self! The whole business of federal prohi bition is rafidly drifting into broad farce, in so far as its effectiveness is con cerned, with bitter touches of tragedy where the personal equation enters. We had better admit the fact, for the sooner we face it frankly, the sooner we shall set about some means more intelligent than the enactment of a federal law to cure people of their swinishness. Greensboro News. 5 PRACTICAL TALKS. ! By "PLOUGHBOY" Local Editor: As about everybody else has had his say, more or' less, on evolution, I trust you will grant me space for a -brief expression on 1 the' subject ; " . ' In this discussion the question is not whether or not God made man, but how He made him. Leo Tolstoi, iri his essay on "reason and religion," says: 'Tradition Imay come from man and be false, but reason certainly comes from God. and cannot be false.". - .- When one tries' to get me to believe anything that is contrary to reason, he is- wasting time and breath, for if God did not intend for me to use my reason ing powers, for what did He give me the faculty? j . . What I want to know about things and theories is the truth, no matter if it does conflict with what I have j been taught to believe ; and when there is no positive proof that enables orie to distinguish between truth .and error, then I accept that which is most reason able. , .i - Every well . informed person knows that, with the exception of perhaps a very few sectarian institutions, every college and university in the civilized world has ' for more than ; a quarter -of a century practically adopted as a work ing basis,-the theory of evolution as taught by Dr. Charles Darwin. " Every mother s son of us does lit in the practical, every day affairs of! life. The farmer does it in the selection of seeds to improve, build up and maintain the standard of his growing crop. He accepts and takes it for a basis when he tries to improve his poultry, his sheep, his hogs, his horses and his cattle and no body ever enters a word of protest But when somebody claims that the same natural law applies to man as to all ani mal life, or perhaps somebody mentions the name, "Darwin," is when we balk. Charles Darwin was a Naturalist, as was his father before him, and spent his life and his means digging and delv ing after hidden truths that had never been revealed to man, and when lie un covered a truth he accepted it no matter how much it conflicted with his former opinions. I Darwin -was not a religious teacher, neither did he, so far as I am informed, ever oppose religion, or religious teach ing. He was a scientist and never wasted much time paying attention to fanatics who assailed him. - ' ' i- , , I have never read Darwin's "Descent of Man,", but several years ago L read and studied his Jngin of Species. and would advise every intelligent man and woman to do the same, if he j wants to know the truth and is not afraid to do his own thinking. We all read, eagerly, anything and everything concerning the great works of Luther Burbank. Ask Mr. Burbank where he has received most of his in spiration for his life's work, frorrj read ing Genesis or Origin of Species ? When ever you allow no scientific teachings in our schools or colleges that conflict. with the teachings of the Bi ble, you will have made long strides backward toward the dark age when Brtno was burned at the stake because he said the world was not flat and had four corners, but was round and turned over in a day and night, instead of the sun spinning around it every 24 hours. as taught by religious fanatics. ' ' Make the Bible the basis of our scien tific teachings and we'll pretty soon be burning witches again. , The Bible is not a scientific work, it is a book of religion, and I don t see why these folks who would have us take it literally on all things don't practice what they preach. , - If Mr. Bryan were to get sick would he send for a doctor, educated in the science of medicine, where they taught evolution, or would he follow the in structions of his Bible and send for the Elders of the church and let them anoint him with oil and pray over him, as di rected in James 5:14-15? Some of "you literalists tell me what you think about a few things. We have a variety of fruits, apples. for instance, which kind did God create ? A crab-apple,' a red Tune or a Royal Limbertwig? When He created the chicken did He make an egg andhatch . it or create a full grown hen? Did He make a Jersey cow or a Guernsey, which? A Shetland pony or a Percheron stallion? Did He make a tiny egg, put it in a mudpuddle and hatch out a tad pole that developed legs shed its tail- and evolved into a frog, or did He make the frog complete, put it down and let it hop off? About as much difference in a tadpole and a frog as there is between a monkey and some men, eh? How came all this stir over evolution at this late day, anyway ? If I have it correctly, it started in William Jen nings Bryan's paper, the Commoner, to. advertise a book Mr. Bryan had writ ten and incidentally get a lot of free ad vertising by other Journals. I presume Mr. Bryan writes books for the same reason that he delivers . lectures, for the money he gets out of it The Pathfinder gave Mr. Bryan a big boost by quoting extensively from his book and wound up with the announce ment that Bryan's book and a year's subscription to the Christian Herald and the Pathfinder would all go for "only $3.35.". ".v - " -' ' -" ;. ' Mr,"Bryan says, "Darwin nor nobody else can make a monkey out of him." That may be so, but it seems to me he has come dangerously near making a "jackanapse" out of himself. I voted for Mr. Bryan for president in years gone by,' but if the quotations I have seen from his book reflect a fair sample of his intelligence, I am awful ly glad I lost my vote. J. M. JARVIS.

The people took to the flag and it went a flying right off and has never stopped. Today it is in the schools and homes all over our country. Hawaii,' Porto Rico and the Philippines have fallen in love with it j The finest fashion that has recently come to us is the salute of the flag: "I pledge allegiance to my flag ' and to the republic for which it , stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." j ' So it has come that by the honor and faith of a people, set toward the right and determined to reverence God and hold to their faith, their flag shall be lifted to great fame and a greater love than all the banners of history. And it is ours. It is our flag. "Old Glory" is our pride. Its stars and stripes are our -stars and, stripes. It is the emblem of our union. It is the sign of our free dom. It inspired the downtrodden of the world with a new hope. It is the star of every new generation under the sun Hold up your head because you are an American and because this ia your flag. John Wanamaker. ' "Delights" of Modern Surgery. It is recorded that at the Samaritan Hospital, in Philadelphia, a girl "was enabled to go through two dangerous operations and remain smiling through out." She was given "a spinal anasthe sia," which numbed her body from shoulders down, making her oblivjous to physical agony. She was then given a radio phone through which, during the progress of the operation, she heard McCormick, Paderekski and other ar1 tists execute their masterpieces. during the first operation, which was for appen dicitis, the girl was oblivious to the sur geons. The radio receiver was strapped over her ears, and the only comment she made was that she "could hear per fectly" the strains of music coming over space. The second operation was for removal of -gall stones, and through it the patient "entertained the nurses with laughing comment on the execution of the artist who was producing Chopin for her." The girl was on the operat ing table for 45 minutes and during it all "her pulse remained constant." So, the radio has invaded the operat ing room and surgery is now being con ducted with musical accompaniment All a fellow has to do now,-the doctors having specified their part of the con tract is to indicate the selections he wants to go to sleep by, and listen to the music while the doctors are at play on his anatomy. Charlotte Observer. Harding Never Urged Cut In Eailroad Wages. The President has not suggested to the members of the Railway.

The Cabinet touch ed briefly upon the proposed railroad strike. : : I ' " It was pointed out at the Wbite House that the only message the President ever delivered to the board or to j individual members was to the effect that the law designates that body to handle the rail road situation, and that the government would back it up. . I Jojin Wanamaker Says The people whom we most like are those who see what is to be done and a way to do it and at once set about the doing of it Those who fix plans and never stick to them, arid wobble about for fear they will make a mistake, never get any where.

Boyd Gives Good Advice to Girls. In trying a white slave case at Greens boro Federal Court Judge Boyd took c-" casion to state that he is a firm believer in the protection of the womanhood of the land,' but some men might be ex cused for their actions so long as some women behave and dress in public as they are now doing.
