CITY COURT ROOM
ARRANGEMENT BAD
; Lawyers who frequent the police
Court are protesting with increas
ed irritation at the obnoxious arrange
ment of the fixtures in the court room.
F r several years these protests have
bet. n voiced in the hope that the lack of
"judgment shown in constructing the
jud-'s desk in front of the glaring win-
: 'daw? of the police court might be aton
,ed for.
' At present all eyes in the court room
are turned towards that side of the
' room in which the windows were made.
.The bright light coming in through
these windows makes it almost im
possible to distinguish between the wit
nesses who tak the stand to testify.
The glare en the eyes is irritating and
' 'discomfort is experienced by lawyers
and ethers present in the court room.
."On account of the proximity of the
".la rare windows, the acoustics is bad and
ar..l is necessary to often force wit-
Oiesses to repeat their statements sev
jeral times before they are understood.
i it nas oeen estimated tnat only a
; nominal cost the court room arrange
m-nt could be transferred so that com
fort and convenience could be insured,
acvurt 'officials say who also claim that
;bv placing the jury's desk and
1!..- surrounding enclosure against the
.orposite wall, those testifying could be
understood perfectly and absolutely no
"glare would greet the eyes of those who
at 'end the police court. The present
.disagreeable arrangement is a matter
..of protest practically every day in the
'court room.

Xew York, Sept. 22. Does a man's
estate have to keep on after his death
paying for his matrimonial sins and
mistakes? A Supreme Court iudjre
of this city will decide that, in a
suit which Mrs. Amelia Korber has
brought for $20 a week alimony. The
alimony, she points out, was to have
been paid for the rest of her natural
life; and, as she is still alive, she
doesn't see how the fact that her re
cent husband is not, can affect the
issue.
Hand-painted frocks will bloom in
Manhattan this winter, with flowers
and birds and cubistic designs spat
tered all over them. We have grown
accustomed to batik, but batik is con
ventional and prosy compared to what
we are about to have put before us.
according to reports. Carlo Norway,
the artist, will shortly arrive in Xew
York from London and is going to
devote himself and his art to making
scenic effects on women's gowns
throughout his entire stay here.
Formulation of plans for the "Winter
activities of the Boy Scouts will take
place &t a meeting of the scout coun
cil at the Chamber of Commerce build
ing Thursday afternoon at 6 o'clock.
According to James B. Steere, scjut
executive, the organization will harp
mostly on the knowledge of woodcraft
during the coming Winter. The bos
will be instructed widely on the se
crets of the forests with the hope that
by the time the camping season opens
next Summer, the wild woods will
seem like an open book to the scouts,
The first thing before the scout offi
cials is the reorganization of the va
rious troops that have been somewhat
broken up during the summer periods
of laxity. Each troop has a council
of three men, whose duty it will be
to lay plans for the reorganization of
that particular troop.
Scouts were busy during the first
part of the week constructing the Bjy
Scout booth at the Exposition. Their
efforts represent the Boy Scout move
ment of the two Carolinas, and nu
merous exhibits of scout work are to
be seen in the booth. Butterfly ex
hibits, Indian relics, bird boxes anJ
various things made by the scouts are
now on display. Pictures showing ihe
life of the scouts in the open are also
to be seen.
CALL GOES OUT TO
DELINQUENT PAYERS
Those persons in the jurisdiction of
Sheriff W. O. Cochran who have not
paid their 1920 taxes are advised by
the sheriff to do so at once and avoid
the publicity they are to receive as
delinquents, in case they do not coma
forward. The sheriff has been called
upon by State Treasurer Ben Lacy for
installments of the taxes from his juris
diction and the sheriff, in turn, urges
the taxpayers to come forward with
their taxes for 1920.
The amount of delinquent taxes for
1920; in the sheriff's domain is not ex
large enough to make a considerable
cessively large, but it is an amount
shrinkage in the total for the county,
and the State treasurer is asking that
taxpayers step right up to the iron
grill that separates the sheriff and his
office force from the outside, taxpayin?

WOMAN'S CLUB HAS
RECEIVED CHARTER
The Secretary of State has granted
a certificate of incorporation to the Wo
man's Club of Charlotte, a copy bein?
the State treasury so that bills of va-! on file at the clerk of the court's oil
rious kinds can be paid
The call for delinquents is not con
fined in this county, however, to thi
sheriff's district. It applies also to
the Vax collectors of the first and third
districts. Tax Collectors George W.
Mayes and Parks Kirkpatrick of those
districts are making the same call that
the sheriff is making and they ex
pect the taxpayers in their respective
districts to attend to the matter at
once.
fice at the courthouse. The corpora
tion has no capital stock. The purpose.
of the organization, which has been a
big factor in the life of Charlotte for
years out is only now Being incor
porated, is to promote charitable and
philanthropic work, education, moral
ity, and social betterment. The In

Granite from the heart of Manhattan
Island and that means the heart of
Metropolitan Xew York is now being
used for the foundations of a five
story apartment houses in the far-off
Flatbush section of Brooklyn. This
is a new development in building
here and is a sign of the feverish
haste shown in trying to catch up
with the home shortage. One of the
most important granite sources is the
foundation excavation of the new co
operatively built Hotel Commonwealtn
at Fifty-sixth street and Broadway,
where 200 tons of stone are now being
removed daily. Fortunately for Brook
lyn, it is going to be such a big
hotel that it has to have a deep foun
dation and more apartment houses can
go up in consequence. The granite
from its excavation travels by motor
truck half the length of Manhattan
Island, crosses the Brooklyn bridge
nad finally traverses five miles of
Brooklyn before it reaches its desti
national in Flatbush.
Sheriff Knott, of our county, lost a
bet on- primary election day and, in
payment of it, is forced to appear
as the role of turnkey of the Ludlow
street jail in a current popular play.
The stage hands and even his fellow
actors declare that he has disproven
forever, at rehearsals, the theory that
a man can't act successfully the part
of one of his own profession.
Bonbon boxes are the latest gun
carriers. When Joseph Clancy and
hi-, pal fared forth on recent Autumn
evenings to hojd up the gentle public,
they always took along a young wom
an, pretty and fashionably dressed.
She always carried a box of candy
under her army, which seemed quite
fitting to an attractive girl .with two
escorts all to herself. The poljce
later discovered that the reason there
were so many hold-ups and no success
at finding the guns wherewith the
hold-ups were accomplished was that
the girl had the revolver carefully
stowed underneath the top layer of
candy and, immediately upon its be
ing made practical use of, it was
tucked back there by her and taken
jauntily away.
Gregory Kelly and Ruth Gordon
(Mrs. Kelly) are to have the leading
roles in "Bristol Glass," a new Booth
Tarkington comedy. The author wrote
it especially for them. They were
married while playing the leads in
Tarkington's "Seventeen."
John Seibel takes the new obliga
tions of woman in the Republic with
complete seriousness but he fails a
bit at bizing the spirit back of
them. He believed so thoroighly that
women citizens should be REAL citi
zens and vote regularly that he beat
his wife when she objected to going
to the primaries recently. The judge
pointed out to him that, since she had
just a determined mind of her own,
she probably wouldn't have voted as
he wanted her to anyhow, and ao he
promised to do differently hereafter.

DENTAL CLINIC TO
BE READY MONDAY
Equipment for the free dental clinic
for city school children will be install
ed in a room at the Junior High school
Thursday and dental work will begin
Monday. Every piece of equipment nec
essary for a dental clinis has been pro
vided, Superintendent H. P. Harding
said.
Dr. Johnson, director of dental work
for the State department of health, will
furnish a dentist, and expenses of the
clinic will be paid by the State for the
first three months of its operation. Af
ter that, funds passessed by . the local
chapter of the Junior Red Cross will
carry on the work. About $3,000 wiii
be necessary for the first year's opera
tion. Dr. Houser, of the Carolina Dental
Supply House, is in charge of the equip
ment and installation and he expects
to complete this work Thursday.
Monday, the dentist and nurses of
the city health department will begin
an inspection of teeth of school chil
dren, starting with the lower grades.
Parents will be notified of defects and
privileged to have the work done by
their private dentists or at the city's
free clinic.
The Junior Red Cross has sufficient
funds to carry on the work only for the
first year. Those in charge of arrange
ments for the clinic believe, however,
that the first year's demonstration of
the value of the work will cause the
city commissioners to make an appro
priation to insure permanence. The pro
posal will be laid before the board be
fore funds now on hand have been exhausted.
