PAGE EIGHT I 1,200 PERSONS JOIN AMERICAN RED CROSS IN CABARRUS COUNTY I Although 300 Short of the Assigned Quota, Cabarrus I - Has Greatest Red Cross [ Membership in History. Oabarus county did not reach the I membership quota assigned by na- I tional headquarters in the eleventh I annual roll call of the American Na { tional Bed Cross, falling short of the I coveted number by 800 persons. How ■ evexfcanvassers of the Cabarrus chap- I ter enrolled 1,200 members, repre- I Renting the largest membership in I Red Cross history of this section. I The campaign to enroll and re-en- I roll people in the work of the Red I Cross was begun on November 11th, I concluding Thanksgiving. Intensive ,1 efforts to secure a membership of 5,- I 000,000 in the United States were put forth by every unit of the national relief organization. Tabulation of memberships is yet incomplete. Mrs. W. A. Foil directed the roll call in Cabarrus, being chairman of the local chapter, She mapped out a systematic way of canvassing the city and county, enjoying the help of scores of Concord women in the work. Throughout the county also, there ■were women appointed in each com munity and cross roads to solicit memberships. Mrs. Foil sought the ultimate goal In the campaign. There was a reluct ance by many to give as they said they had given to the flood relief fund. But Mrs. Foil is not discour aged with the report she will make to national headquarters. She will say that Cabarrus has never had as many Bed Cross members as it has within its borders today.

A counter-part on tha once famous “slow-gin,” of the pre-Volstead days, has evidently been found by some of the moonshine bootleggers of this vi cinity. John Thomas, a stranger, was ar rested at the Hartsell Mills section Saturday afternoon by Officer Medlin because he (Thomas) was drunk. He was brought to the county jail, where he spent i. more or less unrest ful week-end, awaiting >trial at the Monday afternoon session of record er’s court. In the custody and with the aid of a county officer, he was brought to the City Hall Monday afternoon for trial but he was too drunk to write or sign the necessary papers. Whereupon, he was sent back to his cell with all the time he wants in which to get sobered, and a fine of $lO to occupy his mind when he does. - . , Jail attendants suggest that he is saving up to be ready for the Yule tide festivities. THE KANNAPOLIS “Y” PLAYS DRAPER AT KANNAPOLIS TONIGHT Towelers Have Trained Diligently.— In Gilt-edge Condition. —Confident of Winning.—The Tilt Starts at 8 O’clock and Good Crowd of Fans Expected to Witness the Fray. Kannapolis, Nov. 30. —Draper and Kannapolis Y. M. C. A. basketball fives meet in their first combat in several years at the local “Y” tonight at 8 o’clock. It will be the Towel ers’ third contest of the season and a big crowd of fans is expected out to witness the fray. Little (is known of the Draper per formers except that “Smoky” Barbare and his Erlanger troupe vanquished them several weeks ago by a 39 ’to 20 score. This same Erlanger gang came the bright side of a 25 to 12 verdict in a game with Kan napolis on Friday night of last week; so if score comparisons count any thing a closely contested affair can be anticipated tonight. The locals have worked out dili gently for the struggle under the di rection of Chic DeMarcus, a tyro of the old school. He has his squad in gilt-edge condition, chock full of confidence, and V a *rarin’-to-go.” The starting line-up will probably be composed of “Dribble” Smith and “Country” Rollins or Miller, for wards ; . Apex Gillam, center; Ray Roberts and Fred Helms, guards. In reserve will be Nance, Johnston, Wal ter, MeCarnes, Edwards, Loftin, Flowe, Troutman and Armstrong. Cage Schedule for Week-End.

Mcßride, Local Man ager, Advises Car Owners to Shop Early and Avoid the Rush. State automobile license plates will go on sale here December Ist at the Reid Motor Company, it was an nounced today by R. B. Mcßride, manager of the local office of the Car olina Motor Club which distributes the tags throughout North Carolina. “Shop early” should apply 4o li cense plates just as to other holiday purchases, Mr. Mcßride points out, in order to avoid the rush that inev itably comes the last week or so be fore the law requires plates to be placed on cars which is January Ist. R. A. Dough ton, motor vehicle com missioner, this year refused to sanc tion extension of time to procure plates, thereby sweeping aside a cus tom that had been in vogue several years and advices from headquarters of the Carolina Motor Club state that he will grant no extension this li cense time. Plates must be placed on automo biles January Ist or after, accord ing to the law passed by the last Legislature placing the license sys tem on a calendar instead of a fiscal year basis. It is unlawful to use January Ist plates prior to January Ist. ' The white registration card used for the past two years as an appli cation card for license'and familiar to most car owners has been mailed from Raleigh and car owners are urged to preserve this card and pre sent it early as possible after li censes go on sale. This card, how ever, is not absolutely necessary to procure license, Mr. Mcßride says, provided the applicant can produce clear title to the car. A form is then filled in and license issued im mediately. In addition to license service, com plete touring and road information will be available at the local office of the Carolina Motor Club. Tour ing information, maps and tour books are gratis to members of the club .while non-members may secure the service upon payment of a nominal charge. The local manager expects the sale of tags in this county to reach the 7,500 mark this year, a gain of 1,000 over last year’s 6,500 total.

THE CONCORD TIMES LAX SHOE CAUGHT BY OFFICERS IN LINCOLN COUNTY Youth Is Being Held in Jail Here on Charges of Lar ceny and Assault With Deadly Weapon. Lax Shoe, Concord youth who eluded pursuit after wrecking, with Robert Furr, who was caught, the automobile belonging to Miss Ruth Dry at the intersection of- Spring and West Depot streets Sunday night, was captured in Lincoln county Mon day and returned to this city Mon day night by local police officers. He was lodged in jail in default of SSOO bond. Both Shoe and Furr got away from the car which they had stolen and wrecked, but Furr was caught hiding on North Spring street’. Shoe escaped all surveillance until Monday, when the word sent out to surrounding eouu ties by the local police department served to form a dragnet that speedily caused his apprehension. Lincoln -county authorities found him and two police officers from this city drove over and brought him back. Just hoyv the modern youthful por trayer of Jesse James made his way so far from this city is not known. Up until Tuesday he had not told any thing that would indicate the manner of his escape. Nor had he made a confession similar to that made by Furr. Police officials think that both boys, with Shoe the aggressor, have been re sponsible for many of the ‘‘temporary” thefts of automobiles from their park ing places in and near the city that have occurred lately. Furr, in his confession, said as much to Chief of Police Talbirt. The two boys w'ill be tried here on Friday, December 2nd. CAPTAINED BY KANNAPOLIS, BOY, CHRIST SCHOOL HAS SUCCESSFUL SEASON Frank Walker, Toweler Town Chap, Pilots Football Team at Arden to Six Wins Out of Seven Starts.— Weaver College Only Outfit to Cross 20 Yard Line.—Full Blooded Es-_ kimo. Believed to Be Only Alaskan in South Playing Football, Mem ber of Team. Kannapolis, Nov. 30.—Over at Arden, in western North Carolina. Christ School, which has turned out such brilliant athletes as Nettles, now at Citadel; Red Whisenhunt, Gas tonia High coach; and Walk Shu,- ford, mentor of Biltmore high school, has closed an unusually successful football season. From mediocre material at his com mand, due to the graduation of the stellar lights from the team of 1926, the coach, Dick Fayssoux, brother of the nationally known slight-of-hand wizard, developed a strong combina tion, unusually so for its weight. It played with vim and dash, winning six out of seven games during the spason just closed. Defensively the team ranked with the best scholastic contingents in that part of the state. The linesmen were fast and played the game sound ly. The baekfield also backed them up effectively. Offensively the team was remarkable. ' In Walker, Clay ton, Eason and John the team had four stars. Frank Walker, Kan napolis boy, captained the eleven through the season. He was highly rated by competent critics, the Ashe ville sports scribes making mention of hem everytime the team played a game. Christ School started the season by crushing the Robert E. Lee outfit to the tune of 33 to 0. Black Moun tain High was battled in the next combat and was taken in tow by a 39 to 0 score. A winning streak was maintained by flouncing Biilt more Junior College, 24 to 0; Bilt more High School, 19 to 0; and Le noir High, 18 to 0. The Christ schoolers came out of the Lenoir game all battered up, and with a couple ends playing at the guard positions and one halfback at tackle they lost to the Weaver College pack by a crushing count of 63 to 0, which was the only defeat of the season and the only time their goal line was tram pled on. The set«wn was ended in a wave of glory when the Christ proteges handed out a 12 to nothing defeat to the Asheville school for boys. Two other games were claimed by forfeiture as Blue Ridge and Asheville High failed to live up to their con tract and cancelled scheduled games after the season was well underway. Fayssoux’s team veerglit was very light compared to the average prep school. The line averaged about 165 pounds and the baekfield averaged less than 145 pounds. However, gains through this line were few and far between, so to speak, Weaver College being the only team tot cross Christ's 20-yard boundary. One hundred and forty-five points were registered against 63 for the oppon ents. x The team’s line-up for the year was as follows: Simmons, left end; Mitchell, left tackle; Ingle, left guard; Redd, cen ter; N. Rumfelt, right guard; J. Rumfelt,-right tackle; J. Walker (of Kannapolis) right end; Johnson, quarterback; F. Walker (also of Kan napolis), left halfback; Eason, right halfback; and Clayton, fullback. Able reserves were found in William New, Toby Guerrant and Charles Charlton, a full-blooded Eskimo, who came to Christ School several years ago from Alaska. He is believed to be the only Eskimo playing football in the southern part of the United States. Coats That Cost Fortunes. New York, Nov. 25.—Furs of all kinds promise to be just a« popular this season as they have been in past yers, and furriers are considerably alarmed by the acute shortage of some of the more expensive pelts. The imitation skins that go into the making of the cheaper fur coats are plentiful enough but the genuine pelts of those animals that always have been rare are now practically unob tainable. Sables of the finest quality have become exceedingly rare—an woman of fashion paid $30,000 for a coat made of the Russian skins only a week or two ago. Faultless mink pelts are also hard to get, and a num ber of these can copt as much as $15,000 when made np as a coat. But the rarest and most expensive fur of all is the silvergrey chinchilla. Even the world’s leading miners have to. collect these exquisite pelts one by one, it taking anything up to_ twenty years to procure enough per fect skins for a coat. Today such a garment is almost priceless, and there are only a very few on sale. Ernest Walker has gone to Beamus, Tenn., where he will spend several months. 1 DAVIDSON MUSICIANS TO GIVE CONCERT IN CONCORD FRIDAY EVE Local Chapter of King’s Daughters Sponsors Ap pearance of Glee Club and Qrchestra Here.

Leavenworth, Kans., Nov. 26.— (A 3 ) —Announcing his most important mission in life would be to “correct the erroneous itnpression the public has been given of President Harding,” Colonel Charles R. Forbes today re turned to civilian life after complet ing service on a two-year term in the federal penitentiary here. The 49-year old former director of the United States Veterans’ Bureau, who was convicted in Chicago in 1925 of defrauding the government in awarding contracts for veterans’ hos pitals was released at midnight. Clad in a neat* business suit, his hat concealing- his gray hair, he emerged from the prison gates with a firm step, in marked contrast to his entry. Rigorous application to his profession of civil engineering in surveying penitentiary property, and even in a hammer and a saw in construction work apparently had restored him to the Jiealth ho en joyed in a long army career.

Wireless is really pretty wiry, de clares Rose Macaulay, writing in the December number of the Forum magazine. She describes the mass of coils and aerials and other me chanisms that- surround the average radio set as simply “wires” and des cribes it as “the tangle, as of nests of vipers, which crawls profusely about my own set and runs down my passage.” But she draws a dizzying picture of a future of effortless ease, all of which is to come through the advance of radio. “Yes, everything should be done tor us,” she writes in her Forum article. “Why not?” It is rumored that we may soon have rushing into our homes over the wires all kinds ot do mestic help. Unseen power will come at our need and will clean our rooms, wash our dishes, cook our food, run up meals to our armchairs on electrically propelled tables, make our beds, turn on our baths, divest us of our clothes and dress us again, shave us. wash us, do our hair, and fling us into bed. “And as to ou£ recreations, why should we not have dinner parties Dy wireless of an evening, instead of sal lying out from our homes to the homes of others? Tune us in on any dinner party where there is jol lity, wit, the feast of reason, and the flow of soul, transmit to us the taste of savory viands (this should be a simple business) and let us sit and enjoy the evening without trouble.” Mr. and Mrs. Perley Scarboro and Mrs. W.
