"We expect to be able, to have the instruments in Charlotte in a short while." Auto Business in East Better. 'The eastern part of . the state," said Armand Myers, automobile dealer, "is also becoming more favorable for the sale of automobiles. Things are pick ing, up at our concern in Raleigh, and inquiries are increasing." One-Cent Letters Go Unread. "Any man," said A. N. Boger of the Mecklenburg hotel, as he tore two un opened letters into shreds, "who will put a one cent stamp on a letter nesd never , expect to have the thing . read by me. When you get a letter with a. one-cent stamp on it, you might as well make up your mind that there's nothing in it." Movies Draw On The Thin Purses. "Moving pictures," said Bob Master man of a Charlotte exchange, "have certainly shown no effects from the hard times that hit us.

Amendment Aids Street Paving. "The amendment of the street im provement act permitting the city to levy on property for more than 20 per cent of its value will aid the government very much in getting street improvement work done in sev eral sections of the city," said A. H. Wesm, commissioner of public works. "Heretofore, we have been able to levy only on 20 per cent of the as sessed value of the property. A house and "lot worth $800 could be assessed for street purposes onlv Y. 5. This would not pay for the improve ments in many cases, and thus held up the work." Why Road Shows Are Taken Off. "No wonder some of the road shows traveling through the . South are being taken off this year," said William Elliott, "if the small crowd out ' to ;?ear the New . York English Opera .Associaiirn present 'Faust' at the city auditorium is typical. That was one of the best shows that has, been hero in a long time so far as excellence of voices was concerned, and the crowd was much smaller excellent company deserved, great need of a new theater here.

"Don't believe anybodysthat tells you the average English audience is stolid' said Charles Kublick, musician at a local theater the first half of the Week, who has played all; over the 'wbrld. "An English audience knows - what it likes and will let you know in a minute whether you are furnishing what it wants or not. Particularly is this true with the 'gallery crowd.' If it likes you, your act goes great with the whole house. If it' doesn't like yo$i, your act will not go at all." French Won't Descend to English. "In Vienna, Austria, there . was a strong prejudice in favor of Ameri cans when I was there with Ban mm & Bailey's circus some years - before the war," said Joe Hudson, famous cyclist.

FOUR DAYS Commencing Monday Cecil B. De MiUe's Production O R B ' I F D R D U E I N.f "Oh, Doctor!" wailed old Jerry Jones with morbid anguish in his tones, "I realize that -I'm 94 but still I want to live some more! Tell me something I can do to last till 1992!" K Old Jerry has the average fears. We want . to live a thousand "years. -We'd like our lives to ooze as far as that of old Methuselah. Suppose it did? Well, this is how a life like that would change us now . - When we had some work to do we probably never would get thr6ugh, for we'd say, "I'll let it go for 97 years or so!" Friends would meet upon the street and say, "By George, old top, it's sweet to see you after that wild throw we had six "hundred years ago!". Imagine what a funny thrill we'd have to get a grocery bill which read, "A thousand years have passed since you settled with us last!" Wouldn't it make) you smile aloud to hear some fellow in a crowd say, -"So long! I must catch the car to dine with great-great-great grandma!" Ajid heavens, if you killed your wife and had to go to jail for life it would take the whole darn mint to pay your board and Sing-Sing, rent! The life term law would be refuted. -We'd have to be electrocuted! And even then at all the trials no person now could make denials that the news would reach our ears, "The jury stayed out twenty years!!" Our daily life would be so slow because we had so long to grow that all the folks would get so lazy our poor coun try would go crazy. Why when some thief held up a bank he'd bring a chair to rest his shank and cry, "I'll give you ninety years no more to throw the cash out on the floor!" '. My friends, to live a thousand years would cause us countless lakes of ters. We'd find ten thousand faults with life, and finally get a butcher knife and stab the beef saw in our chest and slide into the land of rest. Let old Jerry Jones rave on!
