THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE. N. C. THURSDAY AFTERNOON,. JUNE 30, 1921. SCHOOL CLINIC IS TO OPENB FALL Junior Red Cross Raises Funds for Starting Up Dental Work. 4 - The free dental clinic for school chil dren, made possible through the rais ing of funds by the Junior Red Cross, is expected to be in operation when the echools open next September for the fall term, Superintendent H. P. Hard ing' announced in his annual report to the school board Wednesday night. The children in the Junior Red Cross have been working three years to raise funds to provide the dental clinic for the schools. "About $2,250 has been . raised and we propose with the approval of this board to make a -start in September," the superintendent reported. "Request was made that the board sponsdfr the attempt and help finance it in a small way towards the end of the school year if it should be necessary. "It has been conclusively proven that a great many diseases and a great many cases of retardation in schools are caused by bad teeth," Mr. Harding reported. "I believe the dental clinic started by the Junior Red Cross will I e so far reaching in the good accom plished that this board will eventually make it a permanent part of the school organization.." Tne report also commends the co operation of Miss Anne Pierce, libra rian ;Jof Carnegie, library, ;and the teach- jys or first year high school in giving he children of those classes detailed in struction in the use of the library, card index, files, reference books and gen eral system for doing research work. This plan will be made a regular part of the school course, Mr. Harding announced.

"When the new regulations will go into effect will be specified at the passage of "the ordi nance Thursday afternoon. The board, after making a thorough study of the traffic situation, expressed the belief that the new regulations will eliminate congestion and make the handling of traffic in the business sec tion a smoother task for the traffic officers.

Your Skeleton Can Come Iti Duty Free Under New Tariff Washington, June 30. The man who has no skeleton in his closet, and who might want one, will find, by turning to paragraph 1651 of the new tariff bill, introduced yesterday, that he may get it abroad without paying duty. In putting skeletons on the free list, the ways and m-ns committee had in mind also other anatomical specimens. Turning from the grave to the gay, other folk interested in the bill will find that the tariff on poker chips has been reduced ten per cent. The Underwood bill fixed the rate at 50 per cent as against 40 in the Fordney measure. The old Payne Aldrich bill had poker chips on the free list. OFFICERS KILLED BY FIRING SQUAD Two iutenants Gave Up ImpL tant Post During this Battle of Verdun. Paris, June 30. (By the Associated Press.) The demand of Deputy Andre Berthon, of the Seine department, that he be permitted to interpellate the cab inet on measures to be taken against General Boyer for having two second lieutenants, Herduin and Millot, sum marily shot during the battle of Ver dun has brought out one of the most dramatic incidents of the war. Gen eral Boyer is accused of having un duly, without trial, ordered the execu tion of the two' officers who. Deputy Berthon asserted, were not guilty. The circumstances have revealed that the lieutenants, who were com manding sections during a critical pe riod of the battle for Fleury, brought back their men without orders and were found 48 hours later in the citadel of Verdun with some of their men. An imrestigation showed, according to The Echo de Paris, that the section com manders and these men retired in such a way to uncover and endanger the whole line. General Boyer thereupon ordered the lieutenants shot without further procedure. Lieut. Herduin, who was permitted to give the command to fire to the squad which executed him, declared: "Soldiers, you are going to shoot me, but I am not a coward and neither is my comrade. We, however, aban doned a position in which we should have remained to the bitter end. If you ever find yourselves in the same situation, hold out until the death. Don't abandon your posts. Now aim straight for the heart. Take aim. Fire." All the facts, with Lieutenant Her- duin's talk to the soldiers, were report ed by General Boyer to his superiors, who approved the death order.

BELK BROTHERS IS INCORPORATED Big Chain of Department Stores Has Capital Stock of $1,000,000. . With an authorized capitalization of $1,000,000, a charter granted by the Secretary of State to the Belk Broth ers Company, owner of 30 stores in the Carolinas and Virginia, was filed ii the office of the clerk of the court Thursday. The company has been in business as a partnership, but became a corporation with the filing of the charter. , W. H. Belk, of Charlotte; John M. Belk, of Monroe, and B. Frank Mat thews, of Charlotte, are given as in corporators, these also being named a owners of large shares of stock placed opposite their names. Although. the charter was filed Thurs day afternoon for recording, the organ ization meeting lias already been held. At that time, W. H. Belk was mad? president of the corporation, John M. Belk was made vice-president, B. Frank Matthews was made secretary and W. M. Matthews was made treis- urer. , The filing of the charter marks a mile post in the history of one of the South's nost interesting commercial romances. About a score of years ago the first step toward the formation Of the big 30-store system was taken nt Monroe, where the first small store un der the Belk name was opened. TWO BELKS FOUNDERS. W. H. Belk, who is now president, and Dr. John M, Belk, his brother, were the founders of the system. . U was a small venture, but proved rea sonably successful from the beginning. Later W. H. Belk came to Charlotte, and soon a "Belk" store was opened here. It grew and prospered, as did the initial venture at Monroe also with the passage of time. With a vision amply fulfilled in re cent years, the founders of the sys tem enlarged stores where they weri already in operation and added new stores in other towns from time tr time, sometimes buying and taking over big stores already established and at other times opening up entirely new ones in buildings leased for the purpose. Only recently the thirtieth store, was opened in the Belk system. Many of the units are of the true department store type both in size and the charac ter of stock carried. The name "BelkV has become in the Carolinas and Vir ginias synonomous with merchandising on a big scale and merchandising of a kind that attracts and holds the patron- age of the public, as evidenced by the rapidity with which the system has grown to its present proportions. LARGE STOCKS CARRIED. While the authorized capitalization of the company in the charter is given at $1,000,000, the amounts of good3 carried in stock by the 30 stores of the system amounts to several millions. It is the policy of the Belk systern, followed for many years, to foster th'i welfare of the system by training spt clalists in merchandising. This has resulted in young men who have start ed at the bottom of the ladder mounting to positions as managers of stores and departments in a few years. Every new Belk manager is trained in tho Belk system. B. Frank Matthews and W. M. Mat thews, respectively secretary and treas urer of the system, entered the Belk store here several years ago and have steadily been connected with the expan sion of the system. They are natives of Providence township, this county. Another brother, Houston Belk. is man ager of the Belk store at Gastonia. DEATHS FUNERALS Have Decided Upon Renewal of Anglo lese Pact Japan London, June 30. (By the Asso ciated Press) The Pall Mall Gazette and Globe says the British cabinet today decided upon renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty but that dis cussion is proceeding, on certain modifications that have been sug gested,. These have special relation to the American attitude toward the treaty and the position of India, the newspaper adds. It was stated at the foreign office this evening it was unlikely that the Cabinet had decided Tipon th renewal of the Anglo-Japanese pact, but that possibly it had made soma recommendations to be placed befoi n the imperial conference. The cabinet met this morning and it is understood the Anglo-Japan sso treaty was discussed. WARLESS AGE IS NQT NOWFAR OFF Sir Auckland Geddes is Greatly Pleased With Conference Actions.
