Predict Roxboro Mein To Be N. C. House Speaker
R. L. Harris Is
Slated For Job
Will Go To Raleigh With Large {
Bloc IPledged To Candidacy;
J. C. Martin Rival
Reginald L. Harris of Roxboro
will be the next speaker of the
North Carolina house of represen
tatives, it is being freely predicted
as members of the next General
Assembly begin making their pre
parations to move on Raleigh for
the 1?33 session.
Mr. Harris was said to be assur
ed of 80 of the 120 votes. The
Roxboro man is connected- with a
cotton manufacturing plant in his
city and is regarded as a man of
much business ability.
The only other candidate who
has received any considerable men
tion, said Mr. Garibaldi, is Julius
C. Martin of Asheville.
Mr. Harris, whose election as
speaker was forecast several months
ago, is said to have had pledged to
him 40 of the members of the last
house of representatives. Of these
40, about 30 returned. The 30
old men will form a nucleus that
would have considerable influence
in naming the next speaker, it was
pointed out, and in addition he has
about 5 0 other representatives
elect pledged to him.

It’s easy to say they’re all alike—
and easy to prove they are NOT.
Dissolve a genuine Bayer Aspirin
tablet in water, pour it off, feel the
fine powder that coats the glass.
Do this with some other tablet;
see what coarse particles are left!
They feel as sharp as sand, even to
your finger. How must they affect
those delicate membranes which line
your throat—your stomach?
For immediate relief from head
aches, colds, sore throat, neuralgia
or neuritis, lumbago, rheumatism,
there’s nothing like Bayer Aspirin.
It cannot depress the heart.

CORNS OUTSIDE THE LAW
Seattle.—Corns on your feet
have no legal standing. Miss Mar
garet Rebbahn, sued a shoe store
for $7.5 0, told a Seattle judge she
refused to pay for her shoes be
cause they caused corns.
The court gave judgment to the
dealer, remarking he had given a
pair of foot-pinching shoes to
charity himself, last week. The
dealers, he added, would lead a
chaotic life if everyone adopted
Miss Rebhahn’s plea.
GOOD YARN, ANYWAY
Detroit.—All George Fritch, 42,
intended to do when he pulled a
fire alarm was to put the police on
the trail of four rabbets who had
taken $26 from him, then tied him
to a table and forcibly poured a
pint of whiskey down his throat.
At least that was his story, but it
fell on incredulous ears in record
er’s court and he was sentenced to
45 days in the house of correction.

Blue Eyes Not
Blue In Color
Pasadena, Calif.—The question
"Why are blue eyes blue?” can be
answered at the William G. Ker
choff biological laboratories here.
They are like the blue sky.
In fact, neither the biue sky, nor
the blue eyes, ai<e blue.
It is just a matter of reflected
light that causes one to see them
in that restful color.
Blue (eyes are really colorless,
biological research has revealed,
there being an absence of pigment
in the outer layer of the iris, so
the inner layer is exposed. It con
tains a whitish subsftance. The
reflected light makes this appear
blffe because in the scattering of
light the shorter rays are scatter
ed more readily, and these short
wave lengths are in the blue spect
rum. If longier wave lengths were
scattered more readily than short
er wave lengths these eyes and the
sky would appear yellow.
The scatttring results when
light rays hit particles in the path
in which the light travels, and
the shorter wave lengths bounce
off.
Why Broun Eyes Are Brown
The blue eye color first estab
lished itself in the more northern
parts of Europe.
Then comes the question "Why
are brown ey'es brown?” Biologists
have found that brown eyes are
present in those''people where there
is much brilliant sunlight. The
dark eye, or brown pigment, pro
tects the retina against too much
light from the sun.
Genetic studies were reported to
show ey*e color is transmitted.
Blue-eyed parents of pure blue
eyed stock transmit blue eyes to
their offspring. A blue-eyed and
brown-eyed couple of pure stock
have brown-eyed children. But
three-fourths of the grandchildren
will hav'e brown eyes and one
fourth blue.
The blue-eyed grandchildren
will transmit only the blue-eyed
factors but the brown-eyed grand
children are in two groups, in the
ratio of two to one. The two
third group transmit genes foi
both brown and blue eyes, and the
one-third group transmits genes
for brown eyes only.

Modern Dancer
Must Use Brains
(By Grace Davidson)
A genuine success story has been
discovered. Since 1929 Albertina
Rasch has made a half million dol
lars on a job. She is the originator
of the idea of training and selling
dance units to the stage and talk
ies. Business is so good with her
that she is constantly being sued
for not being able to fulfill orders.
She admits that her imitators claim
her success is the result of the dar
ing, revolutionary dances she puts
over, and yet she has never en
countered the slightest difficulty
with a censor.
Tells Her Secret
Not long ago, Earl Carroll and
a few others complained that if
Albertina Rasch could put back
to-nature garb on her girls, why
couldn’t they. But it was ruled
that Madame Rasch could and
they couldn’t. Recently, at an in
terview at the Majestic Theatre,
Madame Rasch gave away her se
cret, but it is safe enbugh for this
creator of the dance to give away.
So far no' one has succeeded in
copying the Rasch secret.
"There is that difference be
tween beauty and vulgarity. If
you stick to the, side of beauty,
you cannot go astray. If you are
really beautiful in what you do or
in what you are, there is never a
criticism. The trouble, today,
with dancing, in fact with Tthe
whole world of art and entertain
ment, is that beauty arid its com
panion, gaycty, have been left out.
Dancing has become either tragic
and too sentimental or vulgar, sex
and nothing else.
strength Ana Cjayety
"What I strive for in the dance
is strength and gayety,” she said.
As she talked, her alert eye was
constantly following the rehear
sal of 16 svelte Rasch girls, who,
in their scant practice clothes,
were going through their routines
under the direction of one of her
assistants.
To be really great, the dancer
must have a brain and beauty, as
well as technical skill. Whar I
try to impress upon my girls all
the time is that they must think,
think. Dancers who dance only
with their feet are passing, I be
lieve,” she said. “A girl must have
brains to dance today.”
Madame Rasch said that she
liked to see very tall girls dance.
“When a tall girl is graceful, ex
pressive, she makes a much more
striking, interesting dancer than
the short girl. Perhaps for that
reason, I like to pick tall girls. For
years there was a\ conventional
point of view that only little girls
could be graceful in the Jane • ”
FUGITIVE WRITER CAUGHT
Robert Burns, who twice escap

WHISKEY TABLETS
Charlotte.—A new bootlegging
worry—whiskey tablets—has been
thrust upon the Charlotte police,
and even brought complaints from
old line rum-runners.
The new wrinkle, which was
brought to light by the police con
sists of a vial containing 16 small
tablets which the modern bootleg
ger is carrying about in his vest
pocket and retailing to the trade at
$5 a vial. A dollar’s worth of tab
lets, so the police learned, will make
four gallons of what is claimed to
be first-rate booze.
COMMITTEE FAVORS BEER
The powerful ways and means
committee of the lower house of
congress last week by vote of 17 to
7 approved a bill to permit legal
manufacture and sale of beer con
taining 3.2 per cent alcohol, and
acted to bring the bill before the
house this week.

It is believed one or more of the

100 Million
Now But $2500
New York.—A petition for pro
bate filed with the will of Abra
ham E. Lefcourt, once rated as
worth $100,000,000, set forth in
Surrougate’s Court that at the
time of his death, Nov—13, his as
sets amounted to "not'more than
$2500.”
Lefcourt, whose name once was
borne by numerous skyscrapers in
New York, began his career as a
dress manufacturer and was a
leading figure in the manufactur
ers’- long battle with the trade un
ions.
MAN IS TRIED FOR
BITING CAT’S TAIL
Raleigh.—Leo Hamilton pleaded
self-defense when arraigned in
court here for biting a cat’s tail,
but Judge N. A. Sinclair said he
felt the plea would hardly cover
the situation, and reserved judg
ment.
Hamilton told the judge the cat
"attacked” him when he tried to
pet it, but under questioning said
the biting he did was more in re
venge than in defense. State wit
nesses said the cat died; Hamilton
said he was suffering from injuries
the feline inflected. State witnes
ses said the affair was one-sided and
unprovoked by the cat, which they
said Hamilton grabbed in a cafe
and bit "just for fun.”
He was charged with cruelty to
animals.
