"No information was given

tory is so full of dope that folks can
never hope to have enough real brilli
ant sense to recollect the past events 7
George Washington was nuts on
brains, but any one who takes the
pains will find out that his intellect
was not as wide as we suspect, for
then it was an easy matter to acquire
the needed data that he used in his de
bates about the laws within the states.
A book of history then was thin. It
took no time to drink it in. He never
had to memorize the Presidents and
other guys, for then the land had just
begun. He had a cinch for there were
none. There was no Civil war to learn.
The pages that he had to turn were
filled with only scattering fact about
past deeds and famous acts. It only
took him 30 days to learn the world
and all its ways
But we poor modern mortals now
heave sighs of anger as we plough our
weary way through history's pages
Strewn behind us there are ages filled
with deeds of every kind which over
whelm our feeble mind. The great
men in the days gone by got muct
more fame than you and I, but thej
acquired their mental states because
there were no useless dates and wild
events to memorize. That's why these
people were so wise. And future peo
pie in this land can never hope to un
derstand the wars and happenings o
the past. Events are flying by so fas

NATIONAL METHODIST
CHURCH
RA.MBLINQ about the so-called
"old" section of our national
capital one Sunday morning, my at
tention was attracted to a church
which, outwardly, looked but little
different than hundreds of other
houses of worship which are scattered
promiscuously across our broad land
and are representative of numerous
denominations of religious belief, ex
cept for its peculiarly slender and
graceful spire.
Approaching this thus distinguished
edifice, the air suddenly filled with
colorful and pleasing tone, as, from up
In the steeple, a chime of ten rare
bells called the faithful to devotion.
Entering, I learned that this his
toric structure was none other than
The National Methodist church. After
service, I was told and shown how a
former bishop and beloved worshipers
had Immensely enriched It and en
deared Its memory by unusual con
tributions collected on their travels
In foreign lands.
For Instance, some of the marble
tiles In the vestibule were brought
all the way from the ruins of Sol
omon's temple in Jerusalem; the
keystone in the arch above the pulpit
was carved from a stone carried from
the ruins of the same far-off temple,
and the beautiful pulpit and higtily
pollshed altar rail are partially made
from the logs of olive wood, trans
ported from the Garden of Qethsemane
and Mount of Olives. An Ivy vine
which tightly attached Itself to the
east wall of this old edifice was grown

Quick, clean heat

IT is hard to appreciate the
convenience and satisfaction
of cooking with the New Per
fection until you have actually
done so.
It's a relief, especially in warm
weather, to be rid of carrying
coal, wood and ashes, sweep
ing up litter and blacking the
stove. And then you don't
have to "rush the fire" on
baking days and heat up the
kitchen. Two burners on the
New Perfection will give you
all the heat needed for any
kind of baking. You can regu
late the heat produced by each
burner, warm something gently
on one and roast over another
in a New Perfection oven.
The long blue chimney of the
New Perfection supplies just
the right draught to drive the
heat of the white-tipped flame
forcibly against all the cooking
utensils. The white
tipped flame produces
the most heat and does
not soot up your kettles
and pans.
The New Perfection is
simple, practical, eco
nomical. Supplies heat
instantly,and when you
are through just shut it off and
save your fuel. You don't have
to watch it. No adjustments to
take care of. A boy or girl can
fill it and clean it.
For the most satisfactory re
sults use Aladdin Security Oil
regularly. You always find it
clean and efficient.
New Perfection Oil Cook Stoves are sold
at most hardware, furniture and depart'
ment stores.

Who says that
bargain tires are
what the people want
MOST everybody knows the
easy-going1 sort of man who
never takes a tire ceriously untfl he
gets a blow-out.
How long he will resist universal
tire education is a question.
But this is sure
More people are finding out every
day that between leaving things
to luck and getting real economy
there is a big difference.
Many a car-owner has come to
U. S. Tires because he couldn't afford
to keep on paying that difference.
Probably seven out of ten users
of U. S. Tires came to them only
after they'd had enough of "dis
counts", "bargain offers", "clearance
sales of surplus stocks" and other
similar appeals.
They have found economy and
they stick to it.
They pay a net price not "some
thing off list" that may not mean
anything in the first place.
They get fresh, Hve tires, being
made and shipped while this mes
sage is being written.
No matter where they live there's
a nearby U. S. Dealer with Jus
nearby U. S. Factory Branch.
U. S. Tires keep moving.
No opportunity to get old and
dried out. No shifting here and there
trying to find a market.
Every U. & Tire a good tire,
wherever you find it anywhere in
the country.
Because the U. S. policy is a good
policy that serves the car-owner all
the time.
Doing the very best for him that
human good faith can do.

LINCOLN TO GET
PERMANENT iRO AD
County and State Highway Commis
sion to Connect with Lincoln-Gaston
Highway Blowing Rock Turn
pike to Be Accepted by State.
According to information contained
in the Hickory Record of last Thurs
day a hard surface road from Hickory
to Charlotte by way of Lincolnton and
Gastonia is promised with the accept
ance by the state highway commission
at R&leigh of a proposition submitted
by the Catawba county board of com
missioners for building a permanent
road from Newton to Maiden to con
nect with the Gaston-Lincoln highway
Maj. Geo. Lyerly, chairman of the
county highway commission, returned
todav from Raleigh where he went
with Mr. J. S. Carpenter and Mr. Geo
E. Mauney of Maiden and Mr. A. H
Crowell of Newton in the interest of
this road
The road between Newton and Mai
den is eight miles in length. The
state highway commission has not an
nounced formally its acceptance, bul
that is the action informally agreed
upon. With the Central highway from
Burke to Newton and the road from
Newton to Maiden, Catawba county
will have 20 miles of improved highways.
There is an eight-mile stretch in
Lincoln county yet to be provided for
before a permanent road will be on
the map from Hickory to Charlotte.
The state commission discussed the
Lenoir turnpike proposition and agreed
informally, Major Lyerly said, to take
it over at the price of $40,000 asked
by the owners. That will mean the
construction of a hard surface road
from Lenoir to Blowing Rock. The
state will take over the road as soon
as possible but it may not be practi
cable to do that for 60 days owing
to the time required in perfecting a.i
organization to maintain it properly.
Tolls will be taken during the rest of
the summer, it is believed.
The qUe8tjSpof taking .over, the
Yonahlosse road from Blowing Rock
to Newlands also was under consider
ation Wednesday, but the commission
deferred action until it could meet
with Mr. Hugh McRae or his repre
sentative. There was some talk of
the states taking over this road, main
taining it for two years and if tariff ic
justified it, to buy Ft from the owner.
This is expected to be done.

MISPLACED-KINDNESS IS FATAL
TO A GARAGE MAN'S PET SNAKE
Philadelphia Record.
Jim Kelly's pet six-foot blacksnake
which he had trained with loving care
to act as watchman in his big Main
street garage in Darby, following an
attempt to steal a valuable automo
bile is dead, a victim of misplaced
kindness of its owner and misguided
intent on the part of a pedestrain.
Kelly, who is known all over Dela
ware as "Big Jim," captured the snake
several weeks ago near Elkton, Wd
Knowing reptiles of this kind are
harmless and a real friend to man,
because of their antipathy to rattlers,
copperheads and other poisonous
snakes, Kelly caught the snake with a
forked stick, put it in a bag and
brought it to his garage. Under his
training, the snake would wiggle out
if its box at the sound of the door be
ing opened and would respond to Kel
ly's whistle, and the result was that

HARDING WANT NO ACTION
NOWON BONUS BILL
Washington July 7. President
Hardine paid an unexpected yisft to
the senate today, and, it is understood
interposeatne weight of his per
sonal influence to defer action on thj
soldier bonus bill unil a . clearer
understanding of the government's fin
ancial outlook has been made possi
ble by enactmenfof new tariff.
In one hour's conference with sen
ate leaders the President is under
stood to have endorsed the view of
Secretary Mellon that bonus legislation-
now might be a serious embar
rassment to the treasury, and even
to have suggested that all . other
legislative business be suspended to
permit completion of the tariff and
tax revisions as soon as' possible.
Some of the Lincoln Commissioners
seem to be of the opinion that the
State commission will provide for the
stretch of hard surface road across
Lincoln referred to above. The reason
Catawba and Gaston and some other
counties are receiving assurances of
immediate building of hard surface
state roads is understood to be because
of the fact that these counties have
recently voted big bond issues for
roads, and they have promised to loan
the state the money to build hard sur
faced roads in their several counties,
for a term of years, or until the state
sells bonds covering the fifty million
bond issue, which will be during the 5
year period authorized. If we are cor
rectly informed Lincoln County may
hurry up Lincoln's share of hard sur
faced roads by loaning the state the
money, without interest, which other
counties are doing in order to speed
the work.

Democratic Members of Ways and
Means Committee in Minority Re
port Bitterly Attack Measure WHich
Was Hatched in Secrecy, They Say
Say it is Plan to Plunder People
of Country For Benefit of Few,
Washington, July 7. Democratic
members of the Ways and Means
Committee in a minority report filed
today in the House of Representatives
denounce the administration tariff bill
as a "conspiracy to benefit a few fav
orites at the expense of all humanity."
"Like everv conspiracy it has
been hatched in secrecy,"the report
says, adding:
"We record our solemn judgment
that this measure is a plan to plun
der the people of our own country
and to oppress the people of every
country for the benefit of a few men
who have succeeded in usurping for
all practical purposes the taxing
power of this government, using it
primarily to enrich themselves, and
secondarily, to finance the political
Dartv which tolerates, encourages
and facilitates the usurpation.
The report declares the tariff was
not an issue in the last campaign
and that this is not the time . to
write a tariff law. They assert that
tho problems which "confront our
people, cripple our industry, stifle
our commerce and perplex an amia
Mo administration have nothing to
do with the tariff."
Criticizing the republican majority
of the committee for withholding the
bill from them and from the house
membership generally and for permit
ting onlv a week for its study, tne
democratic members declare there na
been insufficient time to draft a sub
stitute. They do not undertake any
Horuiled discussion of the individual
schedules in the bill, confining thei

general indictment of the whola meas

Emphasis is laid upon two things
tu ,..!. ..ui,. oflToot nf the bill on Amer-
can commerce and the world Industriaf
situation generally, and upon the sub
stitution of the system of American
valuation as a basis for levying tar
iff duties.
Pointing to the rapidly decreasing
American foreign trade report says:
We need no tariff to cut off the im
ports and the exports of the United
States." Calling attention that the for
eign trade of the United States fell
from $1,188,255,449 last July to $527,-
378,825 in May, 1921, the report says.
"Certainly the natural process -s

and the wool men, and all the others
who cast their bread on the waters of

Dealing with the plan for American
valuation of imports the report says:
"First among the subtle convert in

CONVENTION DRAWS 16,000
New York, July 7. Determination
of a world policy for the Christian En
deavor was begun today by the sixth
world's Christian Endeavor conven
tion. Conferences were held and
plans made for extending the crusade
in behalf of Christianity in all coun
tries. Word was received from Russia that
the Greek church would welcome the
Christian Endeavor there, and other
countries were also reported bidding
for the help of the society.
, One of the features of the conven
tion is the singing by a choir of one
thousand voices. All the song servise
programs are led by Homer Rodehav

leader.
The first world convention of the

delegates.
