Watts Grocery Co. 813 East Seventh St. Phone 412L HEAD IS COMING Two Thousand Business Men Invited to Attend Carolinas' Display. Two thousand bankers and busi ness me nof North Carolina and South Carolina were extended Sat urday by letter an invitation to attend the Made-in-Carolinas Exposi tion on Thursday, September 22, when YV. P. G. ljarding chairman of the Federal Reserve Board will deliver the principal address of Bankers' Day, it was announced last night at executive offices of the exposition, Chairman McLean of the War Finance Corporation, and Senator F. M. Simmons also will be distinguished guests of the exposi tion that day and deliver address es, the announcement said. Word H. "Wood, president of the American Trust Company of Charlotte. also issued vesterdav 1 nvitations tn these bankers and leading business men to attend a banquet at 1 o'clock that day at the city auditorium, when this Charlotte financial institution will be host. Governor Harding, Chairman McLean, Senator Simmons and several leading Charlotte business men will make talks after the dinner. Four fa mous singers who will be appearing on the exposition's musical programs, will assist entertaining the banqueters. When the financial interests of the Carolinas are considered this day prob ably will be the most important of the 19 days of the exposition, which opens September 12, just a week hence, the announcement declared. In his letter of invitation, Air. Wood told the bank ers and business men that they "will be especially interested in hearing Gov ernor Harding . . . and at this time his address will be of unusual interest." The announcement at the exposition of fices gave Mr. Wood credit for work ing out successfully the plans for Bank ers' Day. He will have charge of all plans of the banuet and other enter tainment features of the day, having been asked to assume this duty by Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick, the exposition's gen eral chairman of entertainment and re ception. At the conclusion of the dinner, the principal guests of the day will go by motor to the exposition building, where Governor Harding will deliver the ad dress of the day. beginning at 3:30 o'clock. Chairman McLean and Senator Simmons also will speak there in the afternoon. Mr. Wood is giving much of his time and effort to assisting in developing in terest in the exposition, it was explain ed, and in his letter of invitation he declared "there is every indication that the Made-in- Carolinas Exposition will be one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable, achievements in the his tory of the Carolinas in connection with the promotion and advancement of our industrial growth." Continuing. Mr. Wood wrote that "those of us who have been actively promoting the Made-in-Carolinas exposition have been astonish ed at the success which is now assured. It has already assumed proportions far beyond our expectations. It seems en tirely probable from all reports that this "exposition will be visited by approx imately 100.000 people from all over North and South Carolina. Some of the leading men of the country will speak here on different days." CHARLOTTE MAN CAN'T BE FOUND Henry Strouse Has Been Absent from Home Since Early June. For three months search has been made for Henry Strouse, who myster iously disappeared from his home in Charlotte in June. Not a clue as to what became of him can be found, according to J. S. Thompson, chief op erative of the Bodeker Detective Agency in Charlotte. In the meantime Mrs. Strouse, wife of the missing man. has never given up hope of finding "her husband. Al most weekly comes a letter from her to the Bodeker Detective agency, pitifully seeking to stumble on some newly dis covered clue. "My nerves have long since broken down J' read the last letter from Mrs. Strouse, who is at. present living in Wilson. "I am afraid to pick up a newspaper for fear I shall see the name of my husband that he ha.s been found murdered. Please if you have learned anything would you let me know at once? I have no money now and am striving in vain to support myself and little son. What will be come of me next week this time I cannot say. 1 feel that 1 am getting weaker , every day. I know not what steps to take. "I was given hope a few days ago by a friend who said he saw my husband wandering on the streets of Norfolk, Ya. In an effort to reach him, how ever, my friend declared he lost sight of him in the crowd. Do you suppose he could have been mistaken? "I shall never give up hope, although I am begining to feel bitter against the whole world. It has been three months now since I have seen or heard from my husband and I feel that if some thing doesn't happen I shall die." Henry Strouse had been married over three years, having met his wife while at Camp Greene during the war. Ac cording to Mrs. Strouse, their life in Charlotte had been as happy as it could possibly be. Her husband has been a traveling salesman. One day he came to her with a strange look on his face. In his hand he held a check for $285 drawn on a Char lotte bank. With scarcely a word he gave it to his wife as a present. He kissed her goodbye that night to catch a train to take him over his usual territory. Nothing has been heard of him since. The company for which he worked has not received a line from him. He has disappeared entirely as far as his friends are concerned." Detective agencies in various cities have exerted themselves in vain. Not a clue has been found to solve the mystery, declared Mr. Thomp son. ONE TOO MANY NAME OF CHILD London, Sept. 3. Among the many interesting things that the census just completed in England, has shown is the change in names given to children. The craze for war names, while not being' so intense as it was after the South African war, was still strong enough to inflict on hundreds of hapless infants such monstrosities as Ypres, "Kitchener," "Verdun " "Lorraine "Salonica." The extent to which this craze has gone Is really ama2ing. Besides war names there are always other freak names. Last census show--mrvi ahsurdities as "Welcome n-oth" and "One Too Many" had been! Klven to children. "William" has fallen from popular ity Its place has been taken by "George." Fed parents during the war wanted to use the to the ex-aiser, and the name of England s own monarch immediately became the most popular one. "CRASH-BANG;" IS IT A REAL GHOST? It Was OnlyHSising Yeast Which Tumbled Pans and Scared Sleeper. Sleeping alone in a dark house at night always has its ghostly thrills, duL when C. M. Wyche, of Rocky Mount, kept his head under the cover for sev eral hours one night last week he ex pected Sch minute to be his last. "My wife and two children had gone to the mountains," said Mr. Wyche. "I stayed in after supper the first night they left, and as luck would have it read the much talked of novel, 'Dead Men's Money.' After some six or soy en murders had been committed in the book I was naturally keyed up to a nervous prtch. "I went to bed about midnight. My thoughts were not consoling as mr 1 j mind turned over the ghastly deeds cf which 1 had read, and the darkness was far from pleasant I made sure that my pistol was lying nearby. "I had pondered on the murders in the book about 30 minutes when I was startled out of my wits by a tre mendous crash downstairs. Something heavy had fallen on the floor with a loud thud. I must have been as white as the sheets on my bed. I instinctive ly reached for my gun. HOPED AGAINST HOPE. 4 "Hoping against hope that I might be mistaken. I assumed as much cour age as I could and softly tip-toed to the door. There I stood listening for several minutes, my heart poundin? heavily. Then I gently cracked th door, pushed myself through anl sneaked to the head of the stairsteps. I put one hand to my ear. Not a sound. Thank goodness, it was only my imagination. One could think such things, after all. "Crash bang!! There it was again! Never have 1 heard such a noise. Downstairs somewhere a terrible com motion was going on. I could not pos sibly be mistaken this time. I didn't stop to debate. I fairly sprang through the door and into the bed. I was certain that every burglar in town was in the house. " 'They are fighting over the spoils now,' I told myself. "Trembling with excitement, and T daresay fear, I clung to the sheet as a drowning man clings to a straw. I hugged my pistol close to my side, de termined to open fire on the first burg lar that opened the door. It's a won der I hadn't shot myself. For hours I lay still, listening for I-knew-noc-what. I practically lived through ev ery murder in 'Dead Men's Money.' Finally I fell into a troubled doze. "When I awoke it was daylight. With the darkness gone. my courage returned and I sprang up from the bed Now to take stock of the silver! THERE HE FOUND IT. "To my surprise, the more I search ed downstairs, the less I found io throw light on the disturbance of the previous night. Not a thing, as far as I could see, was missing. What could it have been that raised such a racket? "It was in the kitchen that I stum bled on the solution of the mystery. One look there was enough to make me laugh outright. Lying on the floor were iwo large dish pans. On the kUchpn table were two pans of dough. I saw immediately what had happened. The cook had made up the dough the night before and placed the dish pans over it. During the night the yeat had gradually risen in the dough un til the two large dish pans were push ed off to the floor. " 'Well done. Sherlock,' I exclaimed to myself as I went back upetairs to finish my sleep. "But since thinking it over, I have concluded that I would be a poor addi tion to any detective force."

Ths disarma ment commission of the League of Nations, headed by Rene Yiviani, of France tonight recommended , that the League council not wait for the Washington conference to act on the subject of military arnia- " ment. The commission recommended that the League of Nations immedi ately ask its members for full infor mation as to their military arma ments. It recommended also that the league assembly summon an international conference for the suppression of the private manufac ture of war materials. CANADA'S MOYE BLOCKED Geneva, Sept. 3. Canada's bid to get the United States into the League of Nations, the motion for the supression of Article X, was rejected by the League council here this afternoon. The article, which has stood most in the way of the United State's entry into the league, was referred to the jurists' commission for interpretation, on the suggestion of Arthur J. Balfour, of England. "The covenant of the League must not be amended," declared M. Noble Maire, speaking on behalf of the French government, against the proposal, "un til after the proposed disarmament con ference at Washington." The council voted to dispatch imme diately a note to the United States, urging that discussions, which the coun cil has learned are taking place be tween the state department at Washing ton and the Allied governments on the mandate be speeded up. The League council was to confirm the terms of the mandate agreed upon by the Allies. This announcement was made at today's meeting by representatives of the Al lied governments. It was then decided that the League council could take no action on man dates until the question had been set tled between the United States and the Allies, so a request to Washington that the matter be settled before the present session of the council ends will be for warded at once. I learned tonight that the mandates amendments, contained in the notes of the United States to the Allies, provided for equal trade opportunities for all nations. The American amendments were also humanitarian and idealistic ones, my in formant said, made for the purpose of protecting the rights and future of the natives. r The American note, it is said does not mention Yap and reiterates that the United States' consent is necessary to all the original mandate terms, as well as to eventual changes. LEGION DEMANDS REPRESENTATION Wants Seats in Disarma ment and Unemployment Conferences. By DAVID M. CHURCH, International News Service Staff Correspondent. Washington, Sept. 3. The American Legion tonight demanded representa tion at the international conference on disarmament and the national confer ence on unemployment. John Thomas Taylor, vice-chairman of the legislative committee of the Le gion, announced tonight that he has made personal representations to Presi dent Harding concerning the Legion's desire to have a part in the disarma ment conference. Taylor informed the President that the American Legion, with an active membership of over a million veterans of the World war, is most vitally inter ested in the problems of peace and war. and felt that it was entitled to ha'12. something to say on the question of disarmament. Thus far the Pres ident has not indicated his stand in the matter but it is the hope of Legion leaders here that he will see fit to name as a member of the American dele Kfation to the disarmament conference either a Legion member or someone who can be counted upon to voice the views of the Legion membership. In a letter addressed to Herbert Hoo ver, Secretary of Commerce, Taylor ex pressed the desire of the Legion to have representation in the proposed na tional conference of unemployment. "I believe that the country generally is aware of the unemployment at the present time existing among ex-service men," Taylor said in his letter to Sec retary Hoover, "and I believe that it would be highly advisable that the Am erican Legion, which has devoted a great deal of thought and effort to this matter, should be represented at this conference. I kfiow that you under stand and appreciate the desires of the American Legion to co-operate with the departments of the government and as sist in matters of this kind to the full est extent." The American Legion has been work ing on the problem o the unemploy ment of ex-service men for some time and it is. the desire of leaders here to use the results of their efforts in co operating with the Government in the general movement to reduce idleness.

A human fly "hootch hound" was discovered by the Washington police tonight when what appealed to be a bold attempt to rob a Senator's office in the capitol turned out to be a thirsty man trying to get at his own liquor. A policeman saw a man climb out of a third floor window and creep along the ledge. He dashed into the build ing and collared a man hurrying down the corridor. According to the police, the man. said he was a Senator's secretary and had left some likker in the office. He re turned to find the secretary gone and the office locked. Determined to get his share of the hootch, he tried the human fly stunt. He was released after the Senator's secretary had confirmed his story. MANY JOBa FOUND.

M BICYCLES FOUND; NEGRO ARRESTED Police Recover Eight Wheels and Believe They Have Caught Leader of Ring. Jim Harris, alias Jim Barber, ended a long career as an alleged bicycle thief when the police arrested him Sat urday afternoon upon charges of whole sale bicycle thieving. Following the negro's arrest, the police recovered nine bicycles and located eight others which are to be collected in Sunday. That Jim has perhaps stolen as many as 50 bicycles since he first entered the business was the opinion of detectives Saturday night. It probably will taka a week to locate all the machines Jim stole as the officers have information which is expected to lead to the re covery of stolen wheels in several sec tions of the city. The nine bicycles which were recov ered last night were placed in the locker room at the police station. The eight which have been definitely lo cated will be brought in Sunday and during the next week the police will Ready For Your Inspection This is our invitation to men who know styles to inspect our newly-arrived gathering of Fall Suits and Overcoats tailored by the foremost tailors.

Bicycle thieving has been Jim's reg ular job since early last spring, the je lice allege. .'His practice has been to stand on a street corner and watch a bicycle rider leave his wheel and enter a store. Then Jim would take charge of the machine and rlue away, so the officers claim. Bicycles have been disappearing mys teriously from the streets at an alarm. ing rate since spring and every under taking of policemen to apprehend the thieves has failed, until Detectives Bradley, Riley, Owens and McGraw jot hold of Jim last night. Now the police believe the chief Teason for the disap pearanee of so many bicycles has been placed behind prison bars. Jim lived on Bellinger's row ,but he did business all over the city. Most of the wheels which have been recovered, however, were sold by the negro to ne groes and white people in the north eastern section of the city. TWO HUNDRED APPEALS. Philadelphia. Sept. 3.
