t l t ' . I ' j : iP oroejry ! EARLY Tl THOUSAND AUTOMOBILES SOLO GHAR. DEALERS LAST YEAR 'Every day the prospects of the Charlotte Automobile show, which will be held here February 26, 27 and appear brighter to those who are iirerested in the enterprise. Mr. J.H. Ham, of the United Mo tor Charlotte Company, who is treas urer of the Charlotte Automobile Dealers' Association, has returned from Atlanta where he has been at tending the Atlanta Auto ghow, which t? says, is as kood an any he ever sa- in New York city. An immense amount of money was represented in tie automopiles exhibited, and the sccessories exhibit was also very large, says Mr. Ham. UNIQUE FEATURES. One feature which impressed itself tpon Mr. Ham was the sectional views of the machines shown for he information and pleasure of the visitors. Here was a machine with the sides torn out and plate glass in serted, through which could be seen the operation of the engines, and uere was another sectional view Ehowing another phase of the inte rior workings of the roseless carri Eges. These exhibits proved to be most interesting to the visitors and taey were surrounded all the time. "It is my intention... to show--such exhibits in our space at the Charlotte show," said Mr. Ham yesterday. This is merely one feature of the exhibit which will be of especial in terest to the people of this city.. "A mistake the Atlanta people made was the price of a'dmission. tit ty cents is too much to charge for a show of this sort and I am con vinced that the Charlotte Associa tion has acted with wisdom in mak ing thep rice of admission only a cuarter. More people will attend and Recoid of Senalo? (Continued From Page 14.) t-:re mainsering f our industrial ad ject is able to give. Aeain, along the same general line, tay be mentioned his attitude to ward the rural free delivery service service which has in a few years revo lutionized conditions In farm life. Dur ing his entire term of office in the wnate, he has been Intensely interest El and active in all things that per tain to the improvement and exten sion of this service, so as to make it 'f constantly increasing advantage. He has insisted that it shall be utiliz f1 to the fullest extent, so as to give te farmer every convenience it is adapted to supply.

Dew Wo THROUGH the show will be a greater success with the lower admission price. EXPECT FINE CUP. . Mr. Ham is hopeful of securing for exhibition the Anderson Trophy won by United States Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in the last Glid den tour through Charlotte. This is an elegant cup of handsome design and large proportions, and is valued at 51.000. Mr. Ham has wired Sena tor Smith for permission to exhibit this trophy at the Charlotte show. It was on exhibit at the Atlanta show and attracted a great deal of atten tion. SCOPE OF BUSINESS. That few people realize the scope ' . xL X 1 ' 1 . i z . 1 ui me auiomouue uusiness in mai lotte is the belief of those engaged in the traffic. It is their claim that the automobile business in this city ' is -second oly to the cotton mill bus iness. The grocery business, combin ed with the feed business, is possi bly more than the $2,225,000 worth oi automobiles going through Charlotte dealers during thep resent year. I Last year between 1,600 and 1,700 'car3 weres old through the Charlotte dealers and the outlook is for a ma ; terial increase this year over last year. THE SHOW ENDORSED. "The Greater Charlotte Club en dorses, -heartily, the Charlotte Auto mobile Show," said President Kuester yesterday when discussing the plans of the local association. "The Great- j er Charlotte Club stands ready to j co-operate, and is co-operating, very heartily with those who are striving to put on this show and anything we can ao ior mem wui oe aone most cheerfully. "We think the move Is a most ex fllpnt nnp snrf ar sure that it is ! going to operate to the benefit of 5 Charlotte." its passage in the senate, to the post office appropriation bill providing for a rural parcels post, and he is now advocating a reduction in the rate and4 an increase in the weight limit or an parcels post packages. In the interest of preserving our high standard of citizenship he has from the beginning been a strenuous advocate of measures looking to the restriction of foreign immigration, so as to keep out the undesirable foreign element, now flocking to our shores. In 1906, when the present immigra tion law was pending before the sen ate he offered and passed through the senate an amendment in favor of the Illiteracy test. He made a speech in support of it, pronounced by Senator Lodge as so able and exhaustive that the vote might be taken without fur ther debate; and It was. mis amend ment having failed in the house he.' W. M " MOORE, President. W. M. Moore W. M. Tye J. O. Walker 4 THE CKARCOTTE'NEWST FEBRUARY is, has again introduced it to the pend ing immigration bill, and is doing his utmost to secure its adoption when the bill shall be considered. For the purpose of protecting the farmers against the demoralizing and injurious effects of ficitious contracts and agreements respecting their prod ucts, he is an advocate of legislation to prevent gambling in farm products, having voted for the Clay amendment for that purpose, at the extra session. He was one of the senators whom !the committee of farmers which re cently met in Washington in the in terest of this legislation, invited to their conference. Passing from matters which affect special occupations and interests to legislation of general application, ref erence may be made here to his posi tion upon the income tax amendment to the constitution and the corpora tion tax, measures intended to equit ably distribute the burdens of taxa tion. He not only supported, but vot ed for, legislation submitting the 'in come tax amendment, the .considera tion of which is now pending before the legislatures of the several states, and for the amendment to the Payne Aldrich bill imposing a corporation tax upon the great railroads and in dustrial aggregations of the country. That he is progressive in matters affecting popular government and the integrity of the suffrage, is shown by the fact of his support and vote in favor of a constitutional amendment providing for the election of U. S. senators by a direct vote of .the peo ple, and of the bill which recently passed the congress to suppress cor rupt practices and prevent the cor rupt use of money in national elec tions. In the light of this record in what respect, it may be asked, is Senator Simmons lacking in progressiveness? True he is by nature, cautious and conservative, but his. is. a conservatism which is not antagonistic to progress along lines that have been well con ceived and thought out. Mr. Simmons is not a theorist or dreamer, he is practical. He recognizes that actual and not imaginary conditions consti tute the true basis of safe action in the case of government as in the case of the individual. SERVICES TODAY The service at the Second Presby terian this morning, will consist of reports of the delegates from the church to the Chattanooga convention of la3rmen, as follows: 1. "The Convention Key Note," by Mr. William Anderson. 2. "The Four Dollar Assessment," by Dr. Robert Lafferty. 3. "The Last Night of the Conven tion," by Mr. J. C. McNeely. 4. "The Message of the Convention to the People at Home," by the pas tor. The entire service has been so arranged as not to exceed the ordina ry time. FORECAST OF HATS FOR' THE SPRING Winter is a thing of the past as far as the millinery trade is concerned, and, despite the cold weather, fingers and brains are at work evolving new com&inations of materials, and -colors. The usual uncertainty and the usual secretiveness mark the millinery sit uation at present, and at this early date novelties are extremely scarce and all one can do is wait for the arrival of later goods. Some stunning flower trimmed hats are being shown, however, the medium and small effects leading so far, but there are also some extremely large hats being shown with ,high crown and huge, perfectly round brims, which are trimmed with poppies and roses Of exaggerated size. It Is expected at least so says the Millinery Trade Review, that small flowers will be made into bands, cir clets and other made effects, the flow ers being applied flat to the hat or band. Small roses in the new radium shades are very good looking, as are also combinations in which forget-me-nots appear in all colors, not per haps of the rainbow, but of the latest color card. Hydrangeas and lilies-of-the-valley are separated and used in this way, as are cowslips, French daisies, and miniature pansies and violets. Service For Deaf And Dumb Today At 11 a. m. Rev. O. W. TJnderhill, of Raleigh, will occupy the pulpit of the First Baptist church tomorrow at 11 a. m., conducting a service for the deaf and dumb in and around the city. Dr. Hulten has given over his pulpit for the service, which will take the place of the ordinary 11 o'clock service. - SECOND Novel Entertainments (CDITEP BY MAOAMME MERRI.) Beginning of Lent. The twenty-first brings Ash Wed nesday, and with it the beginning of Lent, Whether one believes that keep ing this season is part of a religious duty or not, it cannot fail to be of benefit to every one to take up some special work at this time, such as a course of standard reading, lessons in language or charitable sewing. By a little careful thought it is very eay to find deeds to do very close at hand. Suppose all card clubs abandoned prizes and devoted that money to sending flowers to a poor, sick per son, equipping a necessity bag for a mother with a baby, or sending an automobile to' some shut-in to ride. Suppose some one gave up the mati cinee for this period, devoting the money to some worthy cause. If we all practiced this for the next forty days how many barren spots would be made to smile and blossom as the rose! Lent need not be a time for re pression,, but 'rather an abundant ex pression of the best that lies within us. A Patriotic Luncheon. I have heard of all sorts of affairs for February 22, both for children and - grown-ups. I choose with diffi culty from the list, but think perhaps the following suggestions for a pa triotic luncheon will be acceptable to a large number. Nowodays the florists keep right up with the times, and decorations in the national colors are not hard to ob tain. When . real flowers are not" ob tainable, the tissue paper artist fur nishes us with such realistic imita tions and such charming papers with napkins for each special day that they may be used with pleasure at church and club affarais and perhaps for very large parties where little" children are the guests, i - . ' For the luncheon, red and white sweet pease with blue corn flowers are to be the centerpic, rsting in a drum gottn in the toy department; per haps in a family- where there are boys, a drum with a hole in the head may be found. If so, it Is just what "mother" needs for the occasion... Cock ed hats will hod the salted almonds and tiny hatchets will bear the guests' names, a wee bunch of cherries being tied to the handle. I give the menu, also a.recipe' for th red fruit punch, which will be serv ed during the game-of cards that will be the afternoon's amusement. Iced Cherries ' Rooled Sandwiches, '". ' Salmon Croquettes Mashed Potatoes (blue plates) Stuffed Olives - Tomato Aspic with Shrimp Salad . Crackers. Raspberry Ice. Flag Cake (white plates). Red Fruit Punch. The flag cake is made by having three layers, one red, one white, one blue; use a white Icing, color part with red and a wee bit with, blue and make the stars of white. These col orings may be obtained at the drug store and are perfectly harmless. Red fruit punch, called on this oc casion patriotic punch, is made by ta king the contents of one can of grated pineapple, Juice, of six lemons, six or anges and two grape fruits; add two quarts of water and sugar to taste and let stand several hours or . over night. Strain, color red, put in a pitcher with pieces of ice and add a quart of Charg ed water. " Party for Children on the 22d. For a children's Washington party decorate the room prettily with flags and pictures of Washington and Mount Vernon. Have a paper hatchet in which there is a pin for each child. Blindfold each child, one at a time, and have him pin the hatchet- on the nose of Washington. A large Cheap print may be obtained for this pur pose. This will make lots of fun. Award a cherry log cabin box filled with candied cherries. Then have these riddles, children just love to guess them. What holds all the snuff in the world? No one knows (nose). What makes a man bald-headed? Want of hair. - Why is it impossible for a bare headed boy to cut down a cherry tree? Because he hasn't a hat yet (hatchet.) In what age do we find the happiest men? Marriage. To what Island sh6uld women be banished? Isle of Man. What is the name of the most pop ular ship in the world? Courtship. Where Is a food place for a hungry man? Sandwich Islands. Where should a person go to find happiness? To the dictionary. What would j'ou do if you were caught with a stolen watch? Give it up. - ' ; Suggestions for February 22d. To serve ice cream on - the aFther of our Country's birthday, make balls of vanilla ice cream, pile up three like cannon balls and stick a small silk flag into the top of each just before sending Jto table. Cut a large sheet of layer cake into rounds by using a biscuit cutter; frost all around with isi, chocolate icing and serve with the ice cream. Children are delighted with this pretty arrangement. It takes only a little extra time and surely the occasion warrants a bit of an effort. I am printing this recipe, which I am sure will be welcomed by all of our readers. It makes delicious hatch et cookies: Mix and sift two cups of flour and a half cup of brown sugar; and half a cup of butter, the yolks of two eggs, and then work with the hands until smooth. Toss on a slight ly floured board, roll to one-third of an inch in thickness and cut into hatchet shapes, using -a card board pattern and a sharp knife, if the tin smith hasn't time to make you a cut ter. Place a candied cherry on each tomahawk and brush over with the yolk of an egg slightly beaten,: with a teaspoonful of water. Put on a cookie pan and bake in a slow oven until del icately browned. A Hatchet Party. - This hatchet party was given by an organization that stands for temper ance, but the scheme could be adopt ed for the 22d. Invitations were is sued on hatchet-shaped cards, and the envelopes fastened with a patri otic seal. Here is the- invitation: "Ye young women of the Y. W. C. A. extends ye invitation to meet ye Hatchet Family of ye anciente tyme at ye hame of Miss Mary Brown on ye evening of February ye 22d of ye year of dur Lord 1912, at eight of ye clock." Below is a lit of the receiving dame, drensed in Martha Washington costumes, consisting of flowered chintz over-dresses, with skirts of a plain colored satine, perhaps quilted. Te waists will open over a white ker chief, with elbow sleeves. Round caps, with frills of lace, surrounded by a band of ribbon, complete these very becoming dresses: Johanna Adams Hatchet. Tomazine Jefferson Hatchet, Jameslna Madison Hatchet. Jemima Monroe Hatchet. . J. Quinciana Hatchet. .Wilhelmina Henrietta Hatchet. Johnsetta Tyler Hatchet. . Marty Van Buren Hatchet. Jinny Keturah Polk Hatchet. Zacherina Taylor Hatchet. Millerella Fillmore Hatchet. Lenten Luncheon Menu. . Have jonquils for the centerpiece in a green jar, and serve first oranges or grape fruit mixed with cubes of pine apple in a half of a small grape fruit or orange. Next cream of cOrn soup with grated yolk of hard-boiled egg over the top; then egg cutlets with wax beans and potato croquettes, and pineapple salad with cheese crackers. A delicious Spanish cream 'with sun shine, cake furnished the last course. Yellow and white bonbons with yellow tomato preserves and salted almonds make up the accessories. If possible use white and gold china. ' our most beloved American poets and for those who wish to entertain on mat ua; iub iuiiu w lug Duggcsuuuo ; may be of assistance. For souvenirs take white or gray cards, mount a I picture of Longfellow or his home In Cambridge and write a suitable quota - tion. Then have a series of living pic - tures; a' delightful selection may be made from the "Hanging of tM Crane," each picture illustrated to be accompanied by the reading. "The Rainy Day," "Children's Home," "Voices of the Night," "The Black Knight" and groups from the "Span ish Student," are- all effective sub jects. - . Then for music there is the "Arrow and the Song,". "The Day Is Done," "The Bridge" and the "LrfSst Chord." Have a twenty-minute sketch o fth6 poet, and if possible procure Long fellow post cards for the invitations. Serve individual dishes of Boston baked beans and brown bread, dough nuts and coffee. Typical New Eng land refreshments. ' QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Queries Frbm "Pat." I want your advice and hope I don't ask too many questions of you.

Pat . , For a winter buffet supper have scalloped or creamed oysters in pat- ties 'chicken salad, cold turkey, coffee, olives, salted nuts, ice cream, cake. bonbons. The briegroom present the bride and her attendants with their flowers. In large cities most of the spring flowers, like hyacinths, tulips and jonquils are obtainable in Feb ruary; roses are always lovely with carnations, which are acceptable, and beautiful at all seasons. It is quite customary to present the attendants and pianist with some to ken, usually a pin or something for personal adornment. The men of the party most always have scarf pins or cuff links besides ties and gloves. Questions From "A. M." Would you please tell , me what would be a proper gift to give to a girl friend whom I have been keeping eompany with for awhile, as she grad uates from the public school this year. Is it proper to give a present when graduating from public schools? Do you think a boy- eighteen years old and a girl seventeen years old wpuld be too young to keep steady company, and go to a show or enter tainment nee-in a while if her pa rents don't object? Do you think we would be too young to attend private dances at this age? A. M. It has become quite the custom to ,fn.n - j t bestwo gifts on graduates and I would suggest a new book, a card case, a box of candy prettily put up I think that young people your age are too young to go with each other steadily, for it is not fair to either f you.
