Nov. 26.—(iP>—Legless Charles Zim in y plunged Into the Queen Mary’s heated swimming pool today to swim across the Atlantic—while the ship sovered the distance. Zimmy was confident his power ful, flailing arms could keep him afloat during the four days requir :d for the ship’s voyage. He faced a problem no swimmer jver before had encountered—the ianger of runnings out of water on he high seas. In fact, it appeared probable that Simmy’s venture would founder on the hard tile of a dry pool before tomorrow. / His passage, tourist class, had been booked long in advance, and ship officials consented to the sunt before the Queen Mary sailed. Zinuny looked happily forward to a restful, seasick-less swim. He ex pected to churn the placid water of the pool without a thought for wind or weather while other passengers buffeted by wintry storms. But a clerk with a memory for details suddenly recalled that the tourist swlnmming oop is drained every night tor sanitation purposes. A lot of expert advice was offered, but the question remained: How can Zimmy swim and the tank be drained at the same time? Daily Shave Papuan Rule Bars Complete Informality SYDNEY, New South Wales—L. P. Ledoux, an American anthopol cgist, the only white man in a vil lage of 225 New Ouinea natives, was obliged by the natives to keep his hair combed and to shave daily during his live months’ stay among them. The village was Kaup, about 40 miles west of the Sepik river, and Mr. Ledoux, a representative of the department of anthropolgy of the American Museum of Natural His tory, stayed with the natives in an endeavor to solve problems relative to the natives. “I went to the Village of Kaup, built my own house, and stayed there for five months, very happi ly,” said Mr. Ledoux, on returning to Sydney on his way back to America. Folobved Village Routine “In fact l am sorry to leave the natives. Attired in a shirt ant shorts, and wearing a straw faa$,' 3 entered upon the routine of vtllagt life. I had taken a great deal 01 canned food with me, but I user very little of it. Instead. I raised al manner of vegetables and fruit ii the village gardens, and found garni [very plentiful. i "The natives treated me witl j great respect, mo.t, in fact, than 1 j shown to Government offleisi* an< missionaries. They insisted, however j on my keeping my place as white man, and owing to their high standard of living they insisted I should shave and keep my hair combed.

In an endeavor to trace and find a reason for the 'trading-complex' of the natives. They trade extensively in shells and pigs, and also in danoes. "Although they are not allowed to perform many of their dances, they do sell them to tribes along the coast, and, in some cases, they translate the words with the object of creating new themes.

Asked By Labor Magazine A front page editorial in the cur rent number of the “North Carolina Labor and Industry” carries the labor plank of the Democratic par ty and asks the bold question, “Where Do We Go From Here?" Another article insides carries the picture of Clyde R. Hoey and says of him: On November 3 the people of North Carolina elected Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, governor of their state. Native of the thriving manufac turing city of Shelby, Mr. Hoey un derstands the problems of workers and employers. He has a reputation for fair 'dealing, for sound common sense, and for unswerving devotion to the welfare of the people. . His interest in labor was mani fested early in his career when as a boy legislator from Cleveland [county he introduced and put through a Mil in the general assem bly of 1899 creating the "Depart ment of Labor and printing,” out of which has come the present de partment of labor. Because he comes of working people has lived with working peo ple all of his life, their interests are safe in his hands. He is not un mindful of the fact that fully half of the 3,500,000 people whom he [ will govern for the next four years are industrial wage earners and their dependents. He will see to it, so far as lies in his power, that they receive the best that progressive legislation and fair and energetic administration of our labor laws can provide. Of the question “Where De We Go From Here?” the paper quotes the labor platform: In these days of highly indus trialised civilization, no state can “vpv w wvwuro )^IUO|IUVUO uiucao U has lawful and Just encouragement for legitimate Industry. Manufac turing enterprises are necessary to afford employment, to create a lo cal market for farm produce, and to provide tax support for govern ment. The Democratic party has been fully appreciative of the policy of the frank recognition of the rights of labor to organise and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, as advocated by President' Rooeevelt,' and the policy of a broader distribution of employment as a means to a satis factory and sustaining progress of industrial development and a more wholesome industrial life ip this state. We oppose any end |01 forms, of intimidation and coercion against either worker , or employer, and urge the enactment of state and inter state laws to promote .the better ment of working conditions, wher ever such compacts, are- practicable, and the passage of humanitarian laws, wherever practicable, to afford further protection to women and children in regard to - maximum hours and working conditions.

COHEN’S 1 TWO DUELS HERE WITHIN 15 YEARS With the Hungarian’s nine duels now under way interest in the sport, If such it might be called, has been aroused all over the country. The Shelby Daily Star is able to report on unimpeachable authority that two duels have been fought in Shelby within the past 15 years. Three Shelby men and one Ltn colnton man figured in the two duels one of which was fought with swords, the other with pistols. In the sword fight both participants, one from Uncolnton, the other of Shelby, were nicked, neither seri ously. In the pistol fight, which was held Indoors, one of the two men was shot in the leg. Two of the Shelby men partici pating in the two duels are dead. These were the two men who used pistols. The Shelby sword wielder no longer lives here. The Uncoln ton swashbuckler lives there now, is prominent and is doing well. Both the Shelby duels were un questionably aided and abetted by whisky. As a matter of fact the four people involved were good friends before and after the fights. A few drinks too many, a little aT gument and the fun began. In both Instances, it is believed, the fight ing was started as a Joke. In each Instance it came near being serious. Their names? That would be telling. There were- no formalities In either case, such as seconds. | Doctors were not in attendant were called after the agjj The highest peak of the is Pic de Nethou which feet high. fyren* *• ».1« s t YOU GET ONLY FRESH and POTENT DRUGS In Every Prescription We Fill — because our stocks are completely new.
