The St. Louis Robin stayed alof This exceeds the old record by a litl Woman, 83, Objects To Stockingless Legs WICHITA, Kan., Aug 14.?The crusade of Myra McHenry, militant lieutenant of the late Carrie Nation, against hoseless women on the streets of Wichita passed momentarily today from the sphere of the academic to that of the physical. Mrs. Pearl Wallace, 20, of Las Animas, Colo., wearing ankle socks, was challenged by the 83-year-old reformer. The challenge was verbal. Mrs. Wallace chose not to answer but lunged at Mrs. McHenry who fled, screaming. The young woman followed. Street crowds stepped aside. Anxiety was registered in the features of the crusader, but the Colorado woman laughed. The scene opened when Mrs. McHenry pointed to the bare legs of the young woman and cried, "get off the streets; you're indecent." A police sergeant mediated the outbreak after Myra had raced into his station, breathless from exertion and anger. Mrs. Wallace followed, delivered her one bit of oratory and was permitted to leave while the sergeant quietly exchanged pleasantries with Mrs. McHenry and inquired how her campaign against bare-legged girls was progressing. Mrs. Wallace's assertion was: "If Wichita women will not fight their own battles, I'll fight 'em for them." Then as she walked smiling from the station she looked at Myra and admnnishpH hpr "nnt t,r? ffirppt that either." "It's every bit as bad as the liquor business, these bare legs," Myra said, "and I'm going to keep right on until I drive every stockingless woman off the streets. Carrie Nation never quit working against liquor even when they threw her in jail, and I'm not going to quit. I am fighting the cause of decency." Mrs. McHenry's cause has been placed before the city commission in the form of a request for an antihoseless ordinance. Two commissioners have approved her plan, two opposed it and one was diplomatic. Fall breezes were in the air tonight, however. Nature may remove the custom Myra seeks to ban by law before the commissioners bring it to a vote, unless fashion arbiters decree bare legs forj tne winter. Myra McHenry, at least, gives every indication of fighting it outi along her lines if it takes all Summer. The Wichita Beacon commenting editorially on the reform, today said to women of the city, "Put your stockings on again. Don't be caught without them, you might get pinched?by a bug." FISH FRY AT ALSTON BRIDGE Approximately 75 citizens enjoyed j a fish fry at Alston's bridge in Fishing Creek township on Wednesday. A quantity of fish were caught. Among those present were Col. W. T.

Over 12,000 Boys And Girls Graduated RALEIGH, Aug. 14?More than 12,000 white boys and girls graduated from the public high schools of the State at the end of the year just closed, it is revealed from tabulations completed and released today by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. A total 12,145 finished this year and 11,278 the previous session, or an increase of 867 graduates during a year's time. Of the total number of pupils who graduated this year, 7,795 were from rural schools and 4,350 from special charter or city schools. The year 1927-28 there were 7,073 rural and 4,245 city graduates of white high schools. In other words, the number of rural graduates increased during one year's time 10.2 per cent, or exactly three times the percentage that city graduates increased. Comparing this year's figures with those of five years ago, 1923-24, there is found a 75 per cent increase in the total number of white public high school graduates. In 1923-24 the total number of graduates of the white high schools was nearly 1,000 less that graduates of only rural schools this year. The largest number of graduates from the rural schools in any one county was in Buncombe, where 273 boys and girls were given diplomas or certificates of graduation from high school. Johnston County had a total of 231 white high school graduates, and Mecklenburg had 216. There were only five graduates of rural high schools in Scotland County, 15 in Chowan and 16 in Camden. There was not a county that did not have at least one standard rural high school sending out its graduates. King Stopped Music But Landed In Jail James King, negro of Wise, may not know that those who dance must pay the piper, but he learned fv,/iDQ ii-Vin cfnn the music must Ixiau wivuo waav pay for the privilege when Magistrate W. C. Pagg sent him to jail last Monday in default of a $500 bond for assaulting Andrew Harris, negro accordian player, at a store in Wise Saturday night. Harris was wheezing away on his accordian when King, who evidently has sensitive nerves, entered the store and ordered the music stopped, as it gave him the "jimmies". The performer thought more of his art than of his audience and kept on until King sailed a rock at him striking him over the eye and inflicting a slight wound. King was arrested, tried before Magistrate Fagg, and, as he could not give bond, was placed in jail where no noise can disturb him. Miss Palmer Becomes Bride J. W. Garrett A quiet but very pretty wedding was solemnized yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Nathan Milam Palmer when her daughter, Sue Russell, became the bride of John W.

Regrets Lack Mature f Teachers In the State i BLACK MOUNTAIN, Aug. 14.? i Dr. Laughinghouse in his address t to the Southern Parent Institute at Black Mountain stressed in most i emphatic fashion the glory and the obligation of parenthood. He caut tioned fathers, lest they should j come to feel that a discharge of the financial obligation incident to parenthood was in itself enough, j He expressed the fear that the de! velopment of character might be impeded because of the fact that ; in North Carolina there is a dearth i of mature material in the teach; ing profession. He does not believe t that youth with the inexperience ) of youth is capable of putting suf' ficiently the bedrock of character 5 into the minds and hearts of chil- . dren. ! "Teachers have not yet reached that stage of maturity by which . they see the world as it is, men and 1 i-T T UnllnTm I , women as uiey are, auu ? ucucvc I that facts, actual facts, are more > ' j nearly worth knowing than fancy , pictures created by the inexperiences and enthusiasms of youth. > Teaching is counsel and long, long ; ago some wise man said 'Young s men for action; maturity for coun) sel and advice'." L He stressed the fact that peace' ful homes and proper discipline ' were in many cases worth more than medicine. His opposition to tonics as a cure for everything was , pronounced and his insistence that the rearing of children was a | father's job, a mother's job and a | doctor's job as exemplified by various and sundry illustrations which ' proved the point he was undertak, ing to make.
