New York, Sept- 10. In spite of the general assumption that we live more and more strenuously as every ytar noes by; that the good old, leisurely days are past; and that we pursue the dim inishing dollar more hectically with eacn happy New Tear; as a matter of fact. holidays spread their vacationing wider today than ever they did in our fathers' times. One person cut of every five in this whole city of New York spent the Labor Day week-end out of town. Ac cording to the railroads' check-ups, 'we find that 1,000,000 New YoVkers, a com pletely unprecendented number took ad vantage of workless Friday-night-to-Tuesdnv-morning and hied themselves somewhere to green field or surfy shares. Then the motorists easily added 100,000 to this number. Theatres are fine things, of course, and wo make no plaint at '.h-.vr multiply ing structures. But it does s cm too bad that they, as well as oUicr busings buildiriKS, have to mean the tearing down of some of our most interesting and historic dwellings. Vov instance, the Grecmv'ch Village th.itre. down in Sheridan Square, at Gr.jmvich. and Twelfth street, is built upon the site where stool for many years the home of Clemerceau. "The lir" and where he practiced medicine while he lived in New Vcrk. Since that time - until it ii-oc tni-n rtmvn If, til.lkli W3V fr-l' the theatre, it w:.s the born;; of a W'?3le coterie of artists and writers. DEPUTY SHERIFFS ARE BOUND OVER TO COURT Toledo, O., Sept. 10. Sam Zimmer man and Andrew Szemetko, deputy sheriffs, who surrendered Friday cn Federal warrants charging them with voluntarily permitting prisoners to S3 cape from the county jail, were bound over by the Federal grand jury. Both pleaded not guilty and were released under $2,500 bond each after arraign ment before a United States commis sioner. Zimmerman and Szemetko were the deputies who were assaulted on Labor Day when Joe Urbaytis, Charles Schulta and George Rogers, convicted Toledo posteffice robbers, escaped while Sheriff Jack Taylor was attending the county fair. Judge John M. Killits, in whose court the three fugitives and 11 others were convicted of conspiracy in connection with the mail theft, Friday called the grand jury to sit in regular session September 19. It was said the jail epi sode would be one of the first cases to be heard. No trace of the fugitives has been found. Nothing in the whole vorll of art is more interesting in tradition ar.1 atmosphere than ar Oriental rugs. Even if they wm-e not beautiful they would be fascinating. 1 saw the larg est circular one in thy world the other day or that .ever was in tr.e world. It is 30 fet in diameter fancy lhat! As it lay on tho floor of the circular lounge of the Ambassador Hotel, I thought it was the loveliest thmg I had ever seen. It seems that it goes tack to the Renaissance , for its replica, the Sixteenth century when India and Per sia were moved by the same spirit that France and Italy knew. When Louis XiV was serving ;is a patron of arts in France, Shah Jehan was do ing the same thing in India. And he had woven for him the wonderful cir cular rug which now reposes in the Art Milium of Vienna. He chos? to have it different from most Orientals and instead of the warm colors that usu ally dominate them, this was done in dull, cool blues and yellows, and it wks scattered with love birds, which, hold such magic place in the lore of Ind;a. The day that the first stone of the Am bassador Hotel was put in place, Ohan Berberyan was given the order f"r a rug to fit this 'reception room. Pro bably no precious rug in the world is unknown to this man, so he instantly sent a man to the Punjah with instruc tions to have that little rug of Shah Jehan's conied exactlv onlv manv times Jas large and by the same kind of Kash mir weavers who worked under the Six teenth century rulers. The exact col ors and design were achieved. NEGROES AFTER CRIMINAL. Charleston, S. C. Sept. 10.

Eut sometimes one -vonders if the situation is as serious as it looks to the unitiated. The other day, for instance a philanthropically interested man talked h some of the jobless park population In an effort to find out how they were really situated. He got om interesting information on the diffi culties of employment. One man, for example, explained his position thus: "Why am I sitting here instead of look ing for a Job? Because there's no use in looking until cooler weather comes. I'm ati pwl.'nJnij man. I ta'ie d"Wi ;. ' n iiies, you st And whili this .irm sun lasts, nobody's going to want their awnings down.

ANNUAL MEETING OF CHAMBER IS PUT OFF STIEFF PIANO For Three Quarters of a Century A LEADER Call or phone for prices or fill out following blank and send us: Chas. M. Stleff. Inc., Charlotte, N. C. Please seed catalogue and prices of pianos. Name ... Address The annual meeting of the Charlott-2 Chamber of Commerce, which was to have been held next Tuesday night, will be postponed until the first of Oc tober, according to announcement sent out Friday afternoon by Col, T. L. Kirkpatrick, presidentof the body. "In view ft the excessive heat and the small quarters of our present lo cation," says the notice to members, "and as we will move into our new charters the first of October, the offi cers suggest the advisability of post poning the annual meeting until the first part of October, at which time it will be possible to have a grand rally in our new spacious banquet hall. "Unless this postponement shpuld he contrary to the wishes of the members of the organization, a few members of the organization will gather on Sep tember 13 (the day provided in the by laws) and adjourn the meeting until October the date to be as early a possible." As the new quarters for the Chamber of Commerce in the building on West Fourth street, which will be called the Community building, will soon be ready for occupancy all members consulted about the matter seemed to think jt would be well to postpone the meeting until the organization is in its new quarters A little incident that happened the other day impressed me so much that I think it quite worth passing on to some of my Readers. I stopped in at the home of an old friend whose daugh ter had just returned from a summer vacation and who was about to go to another city to take up some social work. She had been in college four years, and, I believe, graduated last June. When I last saw her a couple of years ago, she was a complete no nentity, the sort of girl that you meet again and again and forget as soon as you are away from her. She had nice enough features but a perfect blank face and absolutely characterless eyes. I puzzled for a long time about the change in her, wondering exactly where this new prettiness came from. The regular features were just the same, the skin was just as pale and clear but her face now was the face that one remembers with pleasure after ward. Then I discovered that the whole chinge was in her eyes, which, instead of being blank, had become ani mated and expressive. And this small but important change made her beauti ful where she had been nondescript before; and impressive where she had been a social blank. I do -not know whether expressive eyes can be consciously cultivated or not. , I am inclined to think they can be, though there is always the danger that a girl might make herself affect ed. I think in this more than in any other case she would have to use her commonVsense. The only direct advice I feel safe in giving is this do not be afraid to show your thoughts' through your face. It is possible to make the eyes blank it is, therefore, possible to make them expressive. iv.T-ii i i -t i " '.' ii i inrrr""'"""" - ' . j" -;J it & u M. R. T.

All the Persian shades will be the most becoming to you; in fact, you will be able to revel in rich coloring and be a most striking person. H. N. D. Yes, the vibrator is a great help in giving home treatments. It does not cause hair to grow on the face, but it will do it where it is need ed on the head. In using it on the face, move the face around the ball on the end of the vibrator, instead of laying the attachment on the skin and moving it over the face. The reason for this is that most vibrators used at home are held in the hand and are so heavy, it is natural to support it and in this way, the skin is receiving a heavier treatment than is good for it. The method is to give a heavy treat ment for the scalp, but a light one for the face and place the finger tips be tween the eyes and the vibrator, when passing over' the eyelids.
