HOMICIDES ON INCREASE. The Charlotte News is concerned over I the homicidal increase in North Carolina, declaring “we are doing splendidly in f North Carolina in our efforts to break down the invasions of the deadly germs, but we Are'making a blunder at our at tempts to decrease crime,” and adding further that "the Virfuous-results of the public consciousness aroused against ty phoid, for instance, are overcome and off set by the continued prevalence and in crease of the homicidal bacillus.” The News then .quotes from the Raleigh News and Observer which gathers from the bureau of vital statistics the infor mation that five homicides occur and two men are committed to prison every week in this State for homicides. The figures as compiled and announced by the Raleigh paper are impressive, to say the least. They should create unus ual interest among those people who are patriotically concerned about* their State. During the thirty months six hundred and twelve people were killed in North Carolina, and 275 were brought to the State Prison to serve sentences for vari ous degrees of murder, ranging from one year for in an >4:l ugli ter to execution for first degree murder. Twelve were for murder in the first degree, 157 for mur der in the second degree aud 110 for manslaughter. During the year of 1021, 246 homicides were reported to the Bureau of Vital, Statistics, 105 people were punished by imprisonment or death for murder. In 1022, 253 people were killed and 09 were convicted and sentenced for murder. During the first six months of 1023. 113 people met death in homicides, and dur ing the same period 77 men and women were committed to the prison for mur der. Over the 30 months’ period 041 men and women were committed to the prison to serve sentences for crime, 275 of whom were brought for murder, or about 30 per cent, of the convictions were for taking linman life. The man killer has 56 chances out of a hundred of not being brought to prison when be has taken a human life, according to the figures of the Bureau aud the Prison. Homicide ranks next after typhoid fev er in the causes for death reported to the bureau. In 1021 typhoid deaths to taled 307 and homicides 246. In 1022 typhoid killed 208 and homicides ac counted for 233. Disease decreased and crime increased. The comparative fig , ures for the first six months of the cur rent year are not available. To quote again from The News, it seems that “we fight disease with one hand and kill with* the other. That which slays its thousands has come -to awaken more public dread than that which slays its tens of thousands. Evi dently there is need in this State for a re-swVering to uphold the law. We are letting our conscience become calloused to crime, passing it over as a thing of levity and thus adding to the minimum of value that attaches to human life. FORD ANNOI NCEfTlttff POLICY. ; There is great rejoicing in the Cool idge cimp over thg boost given the Pres ident by Henry Ford, who declares to: the world that Mr. Coolidge suits liiai aud who hints that for "this reason he should suit the rest of the world. In- a I statement issued Wednesday the Detroit manufacturer announced that he wonid not oppose Mr Coolidge as a candidate fob, and plead with American P«ple >to let .well; enough alone and not wfifreMr. Ford stood and they are glad Sfc*«tk «*.

Then motifs of Egyptian, Persian or Chinese origin were used—now fashion demands whole landscapes and panoramas. Sketched here are two frocks—one made entirely of a new tte'iotd alUc, the other combining the decorated fabric wttJb • plain as*. he had other candidates on the fence. He has a certain following aud Democrats and Reepublicans alike wanted to see whether he was going to be a candidate, so they could go after his followers. There is little likelihood that Mr. Ford will carry all his support with him. The fact that Mr. Ford favors Mr. Coolidge doesn't change the faet that Mr. Coolidge represents everything the Republican party stands for. In numerous industries there have been conspicuous examples of what can be accomplished in the way of speed hen human energy as well as mechanical ' appliances are put to the test against time. For example, an English baronet once wagered that he would dine at 7 o'clock in a suit of clothes made from wool which had been growing on the sheep's back the same' day. Operations began at 5 a. m. with the washing of sufficient sheep to provide the wool- From a neighboring factory the wool was returned -as cloth late in the after noon, but early enough to permit of a tailor and his assistants completing the suit by 7 p. m.. in plenty of time for the baronet to don it preparatory to sitting down to his evening meal.

What a world of relief and rescue from ( threatened poverty is contained in the statement that since January 1, 1016. J nearly 882,000,000 has been paid out in < this State under the - Workingmen’s Com- j peusation Act. without taking account of j millions expended for medical or hospital ( treatment and large amounts pending in j indefinite liability cases! This legisla- | tion. fought so bitterly by short-sighted ( manufacturers, has proved to be so bene- J filial that no one would ever think of re- | turning to the old order of things. No i Legislature, however reactionary, would j dai-e to attempt such retrogression. In Paris there are -twelve great j bridges over the Seine, with an average I iof only 345 yards between them.
