PAGE TWO Bing Miller Calls High Grid Candidates For Thursday Candidates Will Report To New “Gym” At 2 P.M. Prospects Look Some Brigh ter At Second Glance As Most of Boys Have Added Needed Weight; Miller Urges All Boys Interested to Report on Time Latham L. "Bing’’ Miller, new athletic director at Henderson high school, today sounded a clarion call for all boys who will attend that school this year to report to him at the high school gymnasium Thurs day afternoon at 2 o'clock if they are interested in football. The new mentor comes here with an excellent coaching record made since his graduation from Wake For est College in 1932, and he hopes to add to his laurels at Henderson’s new athletic plant. This will be the first time in the history of Henderson schools that the high school teams will have the use of a gymnasium. Miller was physical director at Rocky Mount Y. M. C. A., resigning that post to come to Henderson. The new director is an outstanding base ball player, having played in the east ern section much of the time. He was given a trial with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and his ability as a player landed him a job as coach at Louis burg College last year. Football prospects at the local in stitution looked rather gloomy at the first glance, but a ray of sunshine is peeping through the haze as the po tential gridders let it be known that they are ready for a tough season. Many of the boys have added weight since last season, and a year's exper ience will stand them in good stead Stasdth£sl PIEDMONT LEAGUE Club: W. L.

RASKBRVILL Raleigh, Sept. B.—The most dan gerous criminals in North Carolina to day, likewise the most incorrigible prisoners in the State prison system, are boys and young men between the ages of 16 and 25, Edwin Gill, com missioner of paroles, said today. More of these are white boys than Negroes, although the younger Negroes give more trouble than the older ones, Gill also said. “One of the principal reasons for this situation i 3 that boys and young Line railroad, passed here at 3:22 p. m. today en route from his residence in Portsmouth to Raleigh, where in terment was to take place upon ar rival of the train shortly after 4 o’clock.

Instead of re garding it as a disgrace to be con victed and sent to prison, many of these youngsters regard it as some thing to be proud of and imagine that they have become big, bad heroes both among their former ‘gang’ in their home communities and among the other prisoners. They also think they are very clever and smart. “I have talked to thousands of these young prisoners, many of them convicted of serious crimes and when they first get to prison most of them are proud of their past records as ‘bad men’ and brag about the many other crimes they committed without being arrested or convicted. They are utterly lacking in either self-respect or a desire to reform. Most of them also think they are very smart and clever. Remedy Applied. “We have found that about the on ly way we can deflate the pride and egotism of these young criminals is to ridicule them and try to make them see how dumb they are and to intimate that they must have some form of insanity. I frequently send them over to the SUtie Hospital for the Insane for several days to be ex amined by the doctors over there. They usually come back to the pri son greatly subdued and much less hard boiled for they want to think they are very smart land clever and want others to think go, too. “Some of these young prisoners soon get a different slant on things and make sinqere efforts to reform. But on the whole, these youngsters are the most difficult prisoners we have to handle because of their men tal attitudes.” I brisk scrimmage.

(Central Presi Mining Town Solves Drunk Problem By Providing for Newfoundland Dog To Escort Them Home in the Night Dally Dlspnfcli Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, Sept. B.—At least one town in the country has solved the prob lem of how to get the drunks home at night without greatly increasing the police force and hence increasing taxes, according to W. H. Trentman, vice president of the Occidental Life Insurance Company here. This town ji£ Cri/ppje Creek, Colorado, where all the old mines are now being op erated full blast again for the first time in 50 years or more, and which is again the old rip-roaring, whoopee, wide-open mining town of the old west. Trentman spent several days in Cripple Creek this summer. “The most interesting thing I saw in Cripple Creek, was ‘Old Red,’ a huge Newfoundland dog, which is maintained by a group of merchants there for the sole purpose of helping to get the drunks home at night,” Trentman said. “ ‘Old Red’ wears a harness with a strong handle on top. He is known to everyone in Cripple Creek and he knows all the drunks and where they live—and all the drunks know him. His job is to find the drunks and lead them to their homes. When he finds a drunk, he stops until the drunk of handle on his drunk takes hold of the handle on his harness and then he slowly guides the drunk along until he reaches the shack where he lives. I know it sounds incredible, but this big dog has been doing this for years. “His tax is paid, likewise the cost of his food and other care by a group of merchants in Cripple Creek who regard ‘Old Red’ as being more valu- able than police—if there are any police there —sir e he never argues with or heats uo any of the drunks, merely guides t‘ home.” The populatio Cripple Creek ha s increased 300 pe. cent in the past two years, SPECIAL Wednesday And Thursday SHERBET pint Pineapple— Orange— Lime— No Deliveries at This Price.
