I. at the audi torium, which was comfortably filled with an appreciative audience. The music was very attractive and tuneful and its rendition showed careful train ing. The acting of some of the char acter? evinced real dramatic talent, es pecially the fierce pirate captain and his excruciating funny crew, who were dressed entirely in true pirate fashion, captured several prisoners and were themselves captured by the maiden lady teacher, Miss Primer, and sent into her kitchen to act as cooks, having donned cook aprons and capsi Quite a nice sum was realized for the athletic asso ciation of the Seminary.

Six Freeze to Death. El Paso, Texas. Dec. 14. —Searching parties in New Mexico, following the worst blizzard in thirty-five years, have found the bodies of six persons who were frozen to death during the heavy snowstorm of the last few days, ac cording to word received here last night. Born, a daughter, to Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Measamer, Saturday, December 15. 1923. Mr. Olin Hoover, of Asheville, spent Thursday night and part of today here with his mother, Mrs. D. R. Hoover THE CONCORD TIMES PALACE BI'ILT FOR DOLLS. I was Designed for Queen Mary By Emi nent Architects. 1 London. Dec. 115. —Designed as a gift to Queen Mary from eminent archi tects, artists, and authors, but ..also in tended to serve for all time as a model ;of the ai t and eraftmaii'ship of today, j the doll's house now being built for the j Queen will, when finished, be the most I wonderful miniature building in the world. ! The house which is being built to stand on a base approximately the size* of a billiard table, is a replica in miniature !of that portion of Hamilton Court Pal ace designed by .Sir Christopheer Wren, a stately, three-winged residence enclos ing the beautiful Fountain Court, known to all who have visited tin* famous show place. Apart from its design, the Queen's doll house will be as unlike the ordinary af fair of its kind as is possible to imagine. Set amid verdant, well-ordered lawns, with terraces and hedges and pavements, it will be a veritable dream palace con taining more marvels to tin* equare inch than any tit her palace or house in exist ence. A domed entrance hall leads to a mar ble stairway, the lofty ceiling and walls of which are decorated with frescoes painted by noted artists. Each of the downstairs rooms has mantelpieces of marble, inlaid with jade, as well as tiled hearths and wonderfully carved over mantels. Some of them have parquet flooring; others are covered with tiny Wilton carpets. The walls are hung with exact reproductions of old paint ings no larger than a postage stamp. One of the many other wonders is the music-room, in which a grand piano, seven inches long, is a conspicuous sea- 1 ture. Another marvel is the gun-room, j containing cases of guns made by a fam- 1 ous gunsmith, and gear of ev- j cry kiiul, from skis and skates to fishing j tackle, with cases of flies * Yet more amazing is the library. Its walls are lined with glass-cases contain ing shelf on shelf of tiny books, includ irig a miniature copy of a work by every famous British author. Each book is magnificently bound, and is capable of being read with a microscope. Every room is furnished as completely as if it were required for actual use. Th«‘ kitchens are equipped with ranges, cabi nets, tables, shelves, and every conceiv able domestic utensil. I-u the pantries are exquisite dinner and tea services, in cluding a complete and valuable minia ture coffee service of silver. Tiny switches control the electric light. Running water, obtained from specially controlled cisterns, supply the kitchens and bathrooms, which are fitted with silver taps. Electric elevators convey visitors in imagination from door to floor. Outside, there is a wonderful garage, in which are housed three perfect model motor-cars and a motorcycle side-ear. There are inspection pits, workships, and living accommodations for the imaginary chauffeurs. Although the house is rapidly nearing completion it is impossible for anyone to state exactly what the total cost will amount to, but it has beecn estimated at not far short of $20,000 —for which sum one could buy in England a very tine full-sized house and grounds. In originating and fostering the scheme for building the most, wonderful house of its kind ever known, the Queen has had but one object in view, that of as sisting deserving chanties, mainly Lou don hospitals. That the house will be the attraction of tlie season when it is exhibited next year at the British Empire Exhibition, is the verdict of all who have seen it in the | making. | Cohen Found Guilty.

USE THE PKNJTf COLUMN—IT PAYS ANNUAL FATHER AND I SON BANQUET SETS i ATTENDANCE RECORD I ; Largest Crowd in History of Y for Such an Occasion Present When Festivities Began Thursday Night. music aniTtalks PROVED FEATURES Rev. C. C. Myers Was Toast master.—Several Fathers and Sons Unable to Get Tickets for the Banquet. Reports of Severe Fighting. Eclipsin',, anything of n similar inline over undertaken by the local Youm Men’s Clni stian Assooiarn.il. she annual Father and Son banquet was held/at the Y Thursday night and the crowd pres ent and interest manifested on every hand is proof positive that the fathers >f t’oneord are keenly alive lo their duties >c their sons, the son-s of their neighbors .and the Y. Every available inch of space in the Y gvni. where the banquet was .held, was occupied by some father and son. The sale of tickets was halted several hours before banquet time, but mam nnm. ac companied by boys, came to the banquet hall at the appointed hour, hoping against hope that by some means they could he admitted to the good things that were of fered in abundance. The crowd was probably the largest that has ever gath ered at the Y for any occasion and more than 275 tickets were sold. In addition to this number there were others who did gain an eleventh hour admittance to the gym. The details of the banquet had been nicely worked out and everything moved off smoothly. There were a number of talks, but they were all short and snappy, in keeping with the actions of most boys, and there was no fired expressions to be -oen on the faces of tlie youngsters who were feted for two hours and who heard many expressions of confidence and hope in their futures. Rev. ('. C. Myers, pastor of McKinnon Presbyterian Church, and one of the leaders of the boys work at the Y. was toastmaster and lie served in a most pleasing manner. Me kept tilings mov ing at all times and in this he had the co operation of everyone who had a part in the program. Local talent was not the only kind that had a part in the success of the banquet. Adding a jazzy note * that touched the hearts of all their hearers the Davidson College Orchestra and quartet rendered a number of selections and while minors were evident in their playing their con tribution was of major importance. The collegians were called back time after time in response to unanimous applause and they responded each time in a m >st pleasing way. Jn welcoming the guests on behalf of the Y Toastmaster Myers expressed the belief that such occasions bring father and soil close together and the occasions are fruitful for that reason if for no oiher. When fntheOyul son are thrown together in assotfutuons more their friendship ripens faster, Mr. Myers add ed, and he expressed delight that the Y should have a part in this work. Mr. C. F. Ritchie brought a timely message from the fathers to the sons, declaring it is important that fathers and sons should walk arm in arm for the boys of today are the world leaders of to morrow and their lives are influenced more by their fathers_than any else. Honesty as the basis of their lives was the keynote of Mr. Ritchie's talk to the boys. There are level places, rocky places and mountainous places in the road of life, he stated,‘but the road will be easier to travel if the boy will make honesty his. watchword and constant com panion. Walter Sullivan, idol of many young sters here because of his athletic ability and clean living, made an inspiring talk on "The Kind of a Father a Boy Likes to Have.” Sullivan, known to his as sociates and to most of Concord as “Bub” told his hears that a boy likes a father who will share his worries as well as his pleasures; a father who will be a real companion and who will take time enough from daily tasks to show an interest in the problems of the boy. Davidson College played an important part in. the program aside from the ex cellent musicians it furnished. Mr. Mac Beall, who hails from the Presbyterian institution, was one of the speakers and he was heard with unusual interest. In his talk Mr. Beall pictured two fathers. One had two sons who are growing up to be known as “sissies” because taeir father has been too busy with business to assume any responsibility for their upbringing. The other fattier has six sons who are growing into manly youths because the father never lets anything j interfere with his relations with them. He is giving them the personal touch. Mr. Beall pointed out. declaring this close association is a father's duty as well as privilege. Mr. H. Wayne Blanks, Mr. M. B. Ful ler and Mr. A. S. Webb 'brought timely messages from the medium of boyhood stories. Mr. Blanks told of an expen- j euee when he was blown up with a -hip. Many persons .were killed but he was spared and he declared that lie felt that he had been spared for a purpose. That purpose, he could readily see, he said, in the Y field in Concord, and he asked that he be given an opportunity to become tlm factor he hopes to become in the moral, physical and civic life of Concord. Misunderstood boys are tragedies. Mr. Fuller declared, yet they are to be found j everywhere. He told tie story of a boy j who seemed lazy and indifferent and , whose father was discouraged because of this indifference. He thought the boy was worthless, Mr. Fuller declared, but the boy was really misunderstood. Fi nally he stumbled 911 a vocation that aft pealed to him and he made a success in life. Parents should try to get on a 1 mutual -basis -with children, he advised ] and help the youngsters in reaching a de-Ji cinion as to life. i Mr. Webb advised his hearers to re- I Monday, December r member that the half wav boy s Jite is the most eij.;, iIJ -L --way stage i, that £ r ,, *** W h a.i, and manhood-—tli,. ir , "/ }•*--, f‘>.
