THE CHARLOTTE NEVS,CH ARLOTOE, N. C.,iaUREDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1921 -J t itWWirooWil ihiim -; - Of TUP "Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion City, 111., is horrified because he has seen women powdering their noses- in trains and street cars, and even in- the local tabernacle. He'd rather see a shiny face than a wox-ldly .powder puff. We also object to it, but not for the same reason given by Wilbur. When we get home, after a trip on the street car, it is embarrassing to find . several large . white spots on the Wercoat where noses have been unpowdered. Of course, no lady would do such a thing intentionally, but, on account of the crowds, it is being done right along. There are a lot of absent-minded people in this world, due, no doubt, to the busy times in which we live. For instance, a Kansas lady killed a man, hid him under a bed and entirely forgot the incident until she swept ' the room three or four days later. Two women police have been ap pointed to chase the kissers at Free port, L. I. And they are both mar ried. It's no job for a single girl. rrv, mon 'uL-Vir. invents a noiseless ash can will be the patron saint of apartment house dwellers. . GOOD PLACE FOR THE RIGHT MAN. Wanted Bartender capable of mix ing mince pies. Dallas (Texas) News. The champ . brigand held up a vic tim, got $15 and demanded $1.50 or 10 per cent additional for war tax. They are wearing dove-hued hosiery at Atlantic City. That is, the girls are wearing. Maybe the men are, too, but nobody has noticed. AVe will . say this for Mr. ' Harding. According to the pictures from Palm Beach, he s is developing a great stance. . ; John D.'s income for 1918 has just been computed at $33,000,000', and we'll bet he didn't have any " more fun than we did on our own paltry $3,000,-000. R OWN patience of , Job!" exclaimed the coun try minister; as he threw aside the local paper. . .. A man who has a wife doesn't have to go around looking for invest ments..

He learned to make his own home brew. American Legion Weekly. It , takes 19,000 Bolshevik paper rubles to make one American dollar. When they want to buy a theater ticket in Russia, at American prices probably they send a truck load of rubles around to the back door. Officials of the Lord's Day Alliance have decided that they do not op pose any man's kissing his own wife on Sunday. But why limit it like that? WHAT HADE THE CHANGE? This Woman says Lydia LPinkham's Vegetable Compound Made Her a New Woman Pittsburgh, Pa. "Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- f pound I had bearing down ' pains in my sides, stomach and back so badly that 1 could hardly stand up. I was white and very thin and nerv ous, had a poor appe tite and onlyweighed 112 pounds. I took ten Dottles without missing one dose and gave it a fair trial. When I finished the last bottle everyone asked me what made the wonderful change in me. I told them about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I recommend it wherever I can. I give you permis sion to publish this letter to help suffer ing women as your remedies are a god send and made a new woman of me." Mrs. F. A. Baker, 4749 Butler St., Pittsburgh, Pa. Why will women drag around day after day, suffering from backaches, bearing-down pains, nervousness and ' the blues," enduring a miserable ex istence when they have such evidence as the above that Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound is a dependable rem edy for such troubles. For nearly forty years this grand old root and herb medi cine has been restoring the women f America to health and strength.

Chapel Hill, Feb. 24. The Tar Heel, student newspaper at the University of North Carolina, 28 years old Wednes day, celebrates its birthday in a spe cial edition in which it grooms its own whiskers, gloats over its . illustrious past, and gets enthusiastic , about life in general. ' . February 23, 1893, the first copy of The Tar. Heel appeared on the campus under the direction of a board of edi tors led by Charles Baskerville, now head of the chemistry department of the College of the City of New York, who . was editor-in-chief; Walter Mur phy, of Salisbury, managing editor; and A. H. McFadgen, business manager. Other editors were A. C. Ellis. V. P. Wooten, Perrin Busbee and J. Crawford Biggs. It has continued in operation ever since, an important factor in the life of the campus. On its staff have worked many of the best known newspaper men in the state and several who have made , national reputations. The present' staff, headed by Daniel L. Grant, of Snead's Ferry, and Jona than .Daniels, of Raleigh, son of Secre tary. Daniels, has turned out what is generally considered the best Tar Heel of all its 28 years The paper comes out twice a week, has far more news than its predecessors, handles its mat ter in a more professional manner, and overcomes successfully the handicap of having it printed away from the cam pus. - The printing is now done in Bur lington. . Former, editors of The Tar Heel in clude Ralph H. Graves, Sunday editor of The New York Times; Cnarles Phil lips Russel, of The Philadelphia . Pub lic Ledger; Q. S.

"Last -f Sunday I preached from the text, 'Be ye, therefore, steadfast," answered . the good man, "but the printer makes it read, 'Be ye there for breakfast.' " ; The railroad official invited the stern . citizen to communicate his trou bles. . ' "I want you to give orders," de manded 'the visitor, "that the. engi neer of the express 1 which passes through Elm. Grove at 11:55 be re strained from blowing his whistle on Sunday morning." i "Impossible!" . exploded the official. "What prompts you to make such a ridiculous request?" j "Well, . you see," explained the. citi zen, in an undertone, "our pastor preaches until he hears the whistle blow and that' confounded express was twenty minutes late last Sunday." Moving: picture operators, disgusted by the demands that are being made on them by . their, stars, threaten to go into stores, factories and lunch rooms for talent to take their places.

One was to her father, . a very long one, telling him every : detail : of . her - life in - the big city, and explaining to him her reasons for staying -over. "And it -is only you. father, dear, who wil fully understand my ideas and urges.. It is you who have realized just how starved I have been in' Millers yille in. every way. For you, too, have been starved. That is our, yours and mine, heartache. Our mutual tragedy! Mother has never understood you any more than she has me! But I know in my heart that you will be behind me in my desire to crave a career for my self, whether it be here or many miles away from here, and who will follow that career with love and understanding. How I wish ycu were to be with me, as I go along, dear dad. "You must explain in some way to mother just how I feel about my own life and future. Don't tell her about my joining the theatre, if it will hurt her too much, or cause vou to have to suffer through, her , denouncement of ' me. But tell her that I have found' work here, in New York, and am going to stay on, indefinitely. , Yc-u also know, dad, that I never could find any happiness in the sort of life that mother would like me to come back to in Millersville. . .'I .do not care for the people- and certainly would never marry - and settle down with any Millesville's youth. I should only succeed in making him, as well as myself miserable for I should hate, hate it all right from the start. "I am not the domestic sort of girl at all. Neither am I the type that can select a mate at twenty and be per fectly sure that the man I choose is the right one for me. I fear my own heart, mind and judgment too - much, dad, for that. Plainly speaking, I have no desire to settle down t.oany one any where as yet.
