PROPOSAL MADE
(Continued from Page One.)
This yoang man seems to have the right idea. If s so easy to forget
your tweetheart when you meet another pretty girl. But with her pic
ture in the top of your hat it will be different. While staling along a
gallant young man meets a girl other than his sweeth -"t. 1e tipsbia
hat and there stands forth the picture of bis darling.
A COLOR SCHEME.
At this time of the year we are all
beginning to think about our new cos
tumes for the Fall and Winter. The
shops are showing new things every
day and we are all particularly pleased
because prices are really coming down.
The girl with the slender income
should take care these days that she
does not rush ahead and purchase all
her clothes in a great burst of enthus
iasm over the new models on display.
Before you begin your shopping at
all you should plan out exactly what
you are going to-need for the coming
season.. First of all go over your last
year's clothes and see what can be used
again, the dresses and waists which,
with a little freshening, will do quite
well as second best.
Then decide just what your color
scheme for the season is to be. The
best dressed woman I know spends
very little on her clothes and always
looks well because she builds her en
tire wardrobe around one costume. For
instance, if you get a brown suit and
a brown hat to go with it, and then buy
a black satin -dress - so you will have
to purchase another hat which Avill be
an unnecessary expense.
The best plan, a woman can pursue is
to choose a color scheme for the season
and then make all her purchases with
that color scheme in , mind. If you
should decide for instance on a blue
suit with a blue hat, and tan shoes,
purchase a blue serge rhess for warm
er days. Your best plan, if you must
save money, is to wear all-black hats
since they are never out of place, and
will go with both tailored and dressy
garments. Darl blue relieved with
scarlet is an excellent color scheme, or
blue with gray if your tastes are quiet
er. In that case gray gloves, hat and
shoes will serve for more than one
dress. Your hand bag should never
clash with your costume.
Mary Your weight is exactly nor
mal. If you send a stamped, addressed
envelope, I will mail you an excellent
hair tonic formula; meantime, massage
the scalp each day until you create a
glow all over it, from the increased
circulation.
Worried Peroxide of Hydrogen will
bleach this hair on your forearms.
Black Eyes Consult the doctor about
your health, as no one should have such
trouble with the skin. If you are in
good health, eat properly and take a
reasonable amount of exercise, the skin
will need little more than good general
care. Cosmetics will not cover damages
done a skin that is being overworked
through throwing off impurities created
by a bad digestive system.
Teddy You admit that you are too
stout and say that you gain from three
to five pounds each week from eating
sweets, then ask me how you should
acknowledge these gifts of candy? It
sounds like a paradox and if you have
any desire to retain this charm, which
induces these boys to shower on you
all these sweetmeats, I should suggest
to them that I adored flowers and was
thoroughly surfeited with candy.
board ia to send the money into the
section which needs it, and there wi'l
be plenty f Of the expected needs of
North Carolina. The farmer who wants
to hold his tobacco, cotton' or other
crops and does not have th3 money
with which to do so, can apply to his
leal bank for the funds, fill ou; the ap-
nlication blank furnished by Colcnel
Young, make arrangements for his col
lateral -and get the money if the. loan 5s
nassed bv the North Carolina board and
the- War Finance Committee in Wash
ington- Likewise the farmer who ooes
not have money with which to finance :
a new crop, can make arrangements
for a loan.
The length 0? che loans will be extend
ed over six months in exceptional cases,
but the committee does not want to do
this if it is possible to avoid it.
COMMUTES DEATH SENTENCE-
Doll Little, Anson county negro
youth, twice convicted of murder in
the first degree and for many months
an inmate of a cell in death row at
the State penitentiary, will be allowed
to live out the natural span of his
live behind prison walls. Governor
Morrison signed a commutation of his
death sentence to life imprisonment
and the negro will be taken out of the
death cell and given quarters in some
other part of the prison.
1 He was scheduled to be electrocuted
on September 29.
Little's case is an interesting one
on account of the devious and long
drawn out course It has taken through
the courts. Convicted three years ago
of murder in the first degree for kill
ing a man named Honeycutt, the
attornejTs for the condemned boy he
was but fifteen years old at the time
of the crime took an appeal to the
Supreme Court, which found an error
ar.d sent it back for a new trial. The
second appearance before a jury re
sulted in another conviction and an
other appeal to the Supreme Court.
This time the court found no error
in the trial, and so certified to the
Governor, who set the date of the
electrocution for the latter part of this
month.
The commutation is recommended
by both Judge Findley and Judge
Shaw, presiding jurists at botn or
Littlfs Superior court trials. In ad
dition there are a number of other
reputable citizens signing the petition
for commutation, and some evidence
presented to the Governor which throws
doubt on the justice of the first de
gree verdict.
HARRIS CASE FRIDAY.
On Friday Governor Morrison will
hear arguments for and against the
commutation of the death sentence of
J. T. Harris, Ridgecrest merchant,
convicted of the murder of W. H.
Monnish, a tourist stopping at thi3
Buncombe county mountain resort
Harris is condemned to death in the
electric chair on October 10.
Other than a declaration that he was
justified in killing the tourist, Harris
has not opened his mouth in his de
fense. He will not even give his at
torneys any inkling as to the motives
which led to the killing, and while
many have ascribed motives, none of
them have seemed satisfactory or rea
sonable. The defense set up at the lower
court was insanity, but the jury did
not believe the merchant was insane,
and the supreme court held against
him when the appeal went up last
term.
ATTENDANCE HOLDS UP,

SOVIETS UNLOAD
RESPONSIBILITY
Factory Workers Urged to
Obtain Own Supplies by
the Authorities.
Moscow, Sept. 22. (By the Associated
Press) Everywhere throughout Russia
ine soviet tjovernment is unloading
sponsibilities it is unable to meet. Fac
tory workers are being urged to obtain
their own materials, run their own af
fairs, and obtain their own food.
"Decentralization; do it yourselves,
and do not depend upon the Central
Government for everything" ia the bur
den of instructions broadcasted by tho
government since domestic free trade
was instituted and the new econom'c
policy of the Bolsheviki was declared.
Provincial officials, labor unions, co
operative societies and famine relief
committees are all told the sama
thing.
M. Kalinin, chairman of the Russian
general committee for famine relief,
chose this admonition as the text of
his speeches during his recent tour of
iamme areas. He berated local offi
cials for turning their eyes toward
Moscow, and urered them tr en nut
and get food, themselves in districts
wnere it was obtainable.
DEPARTMENTS REDUCED.
Departments are heine- rerJnnori
large numbers of men are being thrown
out or employment. Those who have
been receiving food have been placed
on reduced rations and workmen in na
tionalized factories are being paid In
manufactured products or in mon?y
instead of food, so that the food respon
sibilities of the Government may be
lightened.
It seems, however, that Russians,
with the exception of the extreme Com
munists, are pleased with the Govern
ment's change of policy. Attemnts at
general centralization of everything
proved so disastrous for three yeas
that it is probable anything new woud
be welcome as possibly promising re
lief for the average citizen. Communists
stoutlv insist that the war and a
blockade were wholly responsible for
the breakdown of the Communistic
plans, and are explaining that the new
system adopted is really modified Com
munism and not capitalism. It is im
possible, however, to find peasants hold
ing land who will admit the Govern
ment owns the soil. .
J. A. YARBROUGH HEAD
.OF COAL MERCHANTS
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22. Coal dealers
from six Southeastern states, meeting
here Wednesday, organized .the South
eastern Coal Merchants' Association for
the announced purpose of promoting
closer relationship and eliminating mis
understandings between operators, dis
tributors and consumers.
Alabama, Georgia, North and South
Carolina and Tennessee were repre-.
sented at the meeting and J. A.
Yarbrough, of Charlotte, N. C, was'
elected president. A board of directors
elected was authorized to employ a
permanent secretary, who will have
headquarters in Atlanta. The asso
ciation also voted to affiliate with the
National Retail Merchants Association.
John Bassett Moore, American
member, above, and Viscount
Robert Bannatyne Finlay, Brit
ish member.
John Bassett Moore of Washing
ton has been elected one of the
ele.in full members of the perma
nent court of international justice
by the league of nations assembly.
He was named despite the fact that
the United States has never an
swered the invitation to ratify the
world court project. Viscount
Robert Bannatyne Finlay was
elected to represent Great Britain.
are there, the predictions of those who
did not believe additional room would
be needed this year may be discounted.
When the various legislative drives
were being made for bigger facilities
for the higher educational institutions,
it was said that the year prior to the
session in 1921 was exceptional, that
people had more money than ever be
fore and they were spending some of
it m sending their children off to
schools.
These legislators did not believe the
lean years would see such a big short
age of building space, and that when
the normal number was reached in the
receding process, there would be no
need for the big building program be
ing asked for. But the attendance
at State College and the other . educa
tional institutions of the State this
year again shows a big increase even
over what it was in the peak years
when people had lots of money. This
is taken as an indication of the fact
that there has been a real educational
rennaissance in North Carolina, and
that the folks back home, whether
or not they are loaded down with 40
cent cottcn and dollar tobacco, are find
ing the wherewith to send their chil
dren to the higher educational institu
tions. BETTER TIMES AIEEAD.
Students of the situation are con
vinced that better times are ahead for
the business, industrial and commercial
interests of the State. The increase in
the price of tobacco over last year, and
the phenomenal jump in the price of
cotton during the past two weeks puts
a different aspect on economic condi-1
tions in North vjarolina. The immense
building program on roads and on insti
tutional buildings is absorbing a large
smount of skilled and unskilled labor.
The Commissioner of La nor gets re
ports which show that there is an
actual demand for skilled carpenters
which is keeping all of these crafts
men busy all the time. Masons are
also in demand.
THREE NATIONS ARE

ted Press) Three additional nations

mously. Ten States, including Jugo
slav, did not vote. The election of
Luthania likewise was without opposi
tion in the assembly, the Polish dele
gation, which, in committee, had op
posed Lithuania's admission, not being
present when the vote was taken.
The Czecho-Slovak delegates also ab.
stained from voting.
