Charlotte is now standing ready to go
over the top if the young men of the
city but will see the vision and get in
behind the citv and pushing it forward,
declared Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick, address
ing members of the Civitan club at
luncheon at the Manufacturers' club
Friday afternoon.
Colonel Kirkpatrick recounted the
progress of the city, showing that in
1907 the city had no paved streets, only
25 miles of sewers, no water works
plant capable of serving the city, and
only two schools. Yet in 10 years time
12 schools were erected, 52 miles of
pavement were laid, 75 miles sewerage
mains put in place, a million dollars
spent for a water plant, a handsome
white way built. The population also
increased in that time from 15,000 to
nearly 60,000, said the colonel.
He was speaking on what Charlotte
should be in the future and said that
many things ought to be done Jf the
city is still to prosper and progress. A
charitable hospital for indigent poor,
new city hall, city market, and new
county courthouse were among1 the un
dertakings enumerated by the speaker.
He urged the members of the Civan
club, made up of the younger business
and professional men of the city, to get
behind at least one of these enterprises
and "put it across."
B. M. Boyd, speaking on the third
paragraph of the Civitan creed deliv
ered one of the best speeches ever heard
from a club member. Tho paragraph
runs, "My ears hear the cry of chil
dren, the prayer of women for peace,
the appeal of man for guidance, the call
of the race for progress and the song
of the poet for unity." .
He declared that the paragraph is thS
ideal of the entire creed and said if
the members would but attune their
ears to the cries on every hand the
greatest possible service could be ren
dered. Edward B. Bridges, local attorney,
and E. F. Rimmer, of Rimmer Drug
company, were received as new mem
bers. In the drawing for the atten-
jice prize, presented by Dick Young,
Mr.. Bridges, received the award, a
Ironza calendar holder.
WEST THIRD ST.
George E. Wilson Willing

AUXILIARY BISHOP OF
N. Y. IS CONSECRATED
New York, Oct. 28. Thousands at
tended the consecration today in St. Pat
rick's Cathedral of the Right Rev. John
Joseph Dunn, D. D., as titurar bishop
of Camuliana and auxiliary' bishop of
New York.
A regular mass proceeded the cere
mony and the customary action of
church officials in clearing the edifice in
order that only ticket holders might be
admitted to the consecration led to ru
mors of a bomb plot which later were
denied by the church authorities and tho
police.
A number of detectives in plain
clothes were present at the ceremony,
but it was explained by tho authorities
that this had no particular significance.
The detectives attended simply as pre
caution, it was said.

Proposition of widening West Third
street between Tryon and Church was
laid before the olty commissioners Fri
day morning by Odom Alexander, real
estate agent, representing the George
B. Wilson estate.
Third street between Tryon and
Church is now ohs of the narrowest
fitreets in the .uptown business district
and 1b rapidly .building up, Tho pres
ent width of the street is 22 1-2 feet
from cufb to curb and 32 1-2 feet
from property line to property line.
According to Mr. Alexander the Wil
son estate ia willing to deed for the
street 10 feet on the south side of the
street, which is owned by the Wilson
estate, all the way from Tryon to
Church street. Mr. Wilson is willing,
it was explained, to grant this part
of his property, if the property-owners
on the north side of the street, which
Is already built up with brick struc
tures, and the city will co-operate in
the Undertaking and share in the ex
pense. It was brought out that all property
holders on the street, whether on the
north or . south side, will be greatly
benefited by the widening of the
street.
All members of the city commission
were agreed that the street ought to
be widened and now is the opportune
time, before the other side of the
street is lined with brick buildings,
which will necessitate a greater expen
diture of money, if a program of wid
ening was started later.
The commissioners commended the
endeavor to make the street wider and
capable of handling more traffic. In
fact they said they would like to see
the street wider from Tryon to Mint
street.
W. S. Stancill, commissioner of pub
lic works, said that the mistake of the
city lies in the fact that a building
line, is not established on the narrow
streets, which now have residences on
them and which shortly will have bus
iness houses. That is the reason, he
said, -.hat the side streets uptown are
narrow today.
The commissioners declared that they
are thoroughly in accord with any
movement to widen any street that
needs more width and said that they
will do all that is reasonable in any
such enterprise.
CASE OF TETANY
IS FOUND IN CITY

Little Negro Boy's Condi
tion Hag Finally Been
Diagnosed.
The case of an eight-year-old negro
boy, whose little body for more than a
week, has been stiff and rigid as in
death, has been finally diagnosed by
physicians as tetany, an unusual dis
ease m the United States.
, The case of the boy, who was placed
in the Good Samaritan hospital at the
instigation of Dr. W. A. McPhaul, city
health officer, has baffled physicians
here, who examined the body and at
tempted to arrive at the nature of the
malady.
Tetany, it was explained, is charac-;
terized usually by stiffness in the term-1
inal portions of the upper and lower
limbs. The body, however, of the little
negro, was practically stiff all over. If
it wera possible, to have held the -body
in one's hand, itw ould have lain there
as a board, doctors said.
The feet were drawn downward and
refused to be bent back. The entire
l?gs wre rigid, and when they were
lifted up. the body would bend at the
waist. At the same time his stomach
was tight and taut as the head of a
drum. The neck was also stiff and
drawn back. The little fellow would
cry, when doctors came, for his head
to be pulled down. The fingers were
stiff as were the hands and arms.
So aggravated was the case that
diagnosticians hesitated to pronounce
it tetany, but after several examina
tions and close observation, it was
agreed that it was this strange malady.
Tetany is a rare disease in this coun
try and, as far as known, only one
other case is on the records of medical
annals in Charlotte. The disease is
common in Europe, especially Berlin
and Vienna. A great epidemic once
visited Berlin, it was explained.
The disease is caused by a disturb
ance jn the gastro-intestinal system,
but it v may be produced by the remov
al of the parathyroid gland. The ma
lady usually occurs among children
and is rarely known in persons more
than 20 years of age.
Much interest has been created in
the case and the little boy has been
visited by many doctors, prominent in
medical circles here All have agreed
that his case is an unusual one, even
of tetany. Tetany itself is an extra
ordinary ailment and is seldom seen
in practice in the United States.
The boy does not appear in groat
pain and only makes outcry when the
body is touched. He sleeps well but
is unable to take solid food because
his jaws are rigid. He eats with rel
ish oranges, sucking the juice from
the pulp.
Tetany is not usually fatal but ordi
narily runs from one to six months.
Indications point to the boy's recov
ery, physicians say, unless other de
velopments occur.
CALDWELL RECOVERS

paid for three bales of cotton yesterday
Charlie Washington, lor JJp

pounds.
military subjects in Europe, he won
honors on the early battlefields of the
World war and in its last year, as the
Supreme Commander of an allied force
of 10,000,000 men, successfully prac
ticed the strategy he had preached so
many years in the French War Col
lege. The morning of November 11, 1918,
found him, a marshal of France, sitting
in his private car behind the lines,
smoking hie pipe and waiting, in the
unnatu.-al calm that followed the hush
ing of big guns, the coming of the
German envoys to ask for peace at
the -Allies' price. The professor
theories of strategy and moral force
in warfare had been vindicated.
Foch fought in the Franco-Prussian
war as a second lieutenant, as did
J off re. They were both born in the
south of France. Foch worked for' the
rest of his life with the shame and
humiliation of thai debacle in his mind.
He studied the battlefields of that war
until he know, them as well as his
own backyard He studied the Ger
man war machine, the psychology of
its leaders, the reasons for their mis
takes and their successes.
Later, as a professor in the War
College, hi wrote text books on the
conduct of war and the principles, of
war. He worked with enthusiasm and
patriotic fervor to indoctrinate the
young French officers with the prin
ciple of the offensive at all costs. Bat
tles are won morally, as well as ma
terially, hs said, and he stressed the
moral element in modern warfare.
120,000 men, Foch found himself op-1 of hot water and a little granuiateu
posed by a German army of 200,000 sugar: stir untli dissolved.' Take one

aides i ushed in to warn him both his
wings were being pushed back. "We

"Order up the Moroccans."
The German center, composed of
Prussian Guanas, the flower of their
army, gave way under this unexpect
ed onslaught and later airplane ob

The deal has been pending for some
days. It is understood that the holdings
of the Moore family in the mill are not
affected in any way whatever by the

vote, the. House elections committee
today threw out the contest for the
seat held by Representative L. B.
Rainey. Democrat of the seventh Ala

C B. Kennemer, Republican.
Solved the Problem
"I was almost distracted with
stomach trouble, gas and colic attacks
and didn't know what to do. I had

doctor's medicine did not help me. A
friend told rne about Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy, and it has solved the problem,
as I can now eat anything and have
