Be careful for nothing; but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving lot your requests be made
known unto God. And the peace of
God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts aud minds through
Christ Jesus.— I’hilippians 4:6, 7.
Dear Folks:
“I’m getting fat.” said Abbey Lee,
“without a doubt it’s plain to see my
weight's increasing every day, I'll start
to diet right away. No more of sweets
will 1 partake, I’ll give up candy, sweets
and cake, but not today, that's much too
soon. So I'll begin tomorrow noon."
Tomorrow came and Abbey said. “To
days the day I use my head. Os course
my breakfast doesn’t count, I'll eat my
regular amount. But lunch will find me
starting in. a diet that will make me
thin.” So breakfast found her eating
strphg, and then her lunch time came
along. But then the pangs of hunger
came and Abby's will grew kind of lame.
Said she, ‘T guess I’ll start tonight and
make my dinner good and light. What
difference can a luncheon make?" And
so she muclied on pie and cake, and
plaiinned a dinner free from sweets just
on inns, carrots, squash and beets.
That nigh some friends eame in to
dine, and Abby said, "I draw the line on
feeding guests with thinning things, such
treatment on approval brings. Tomor
row' is the day I’ll start, it's thou from
sweets and fats I'll part. But as a
hostess I must eat, regardless of what’s
fat or sweet."
Each day would bring some new ex
cuse 'til Abby said. "Oh what's the use?
It’s not because my will is weak, but
most of all it's health f seek. And
diets often make you siek, so after all
I guess l’U stiek to what I know; is good
for me.” Thy name is legion, Abby
Lee.
Cordially yours—T. V. R.
A “CLOSED DOOR POLICY” NECES
SARY.
Householders must adopt a “closed
door" policy in face of the boldness with
which robbers are operating in Concord
and other cities throughout the country.
The day of carelessness in this respect is
gone if the thief is to be checked in his
operations. •
Time was when it was safe for per
sons to leave their front doors unlocked!
any time during the afternoon or early
evening hours. But this can't be done
dow. The expert burglar has made it
unwise. He operates during daylight as
well as at night and he is as apt to walk
into the front hall of a home during the
early evening hours as he is to breads, in
at midnight.
The iiolice officers should give much at
tention to these robbers, but it must be
understood that catching such a robber
is very difficult. The man goes in and
out of a home, for instance, without any
one seeing him. He gets a long start on
the police in his escape and the officers
have no clues whatever except perhaps,
something the man had stolen. In' most
instances the robber has a regular place
to dispose of the goods he steals and the
police are thus handicapped.
HI The police, of course, can't watch ev
ery home in the city at all times. There
fore the householder must take precau
tion himpelf. The front door should be
through which h"2'
1 2**7 «*** “ Uo *
Persons using rooms
ing any trace of himself and with mem-7
bers of the household sitting ui some;
back hall or room which is cut off from '
view of the front part of the house. ,
In this matter the genera] public must
co-operate with the police. Keep windows J.
and doors locked and the thief will be,
checked. Certainly the afternoon and j
early evening thief will be checked. He
is not going to break into a home at that
time of the day or night even though he
knows no one is at home. He is not go
ing to attract attentiton.
SECRETARY HOOVER OPTIMISTIC.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover thinks
business is going to be fine during the
new year and his opinion is held ,:n hgh
favor because he is a keen observer of
conditions with a background of wide
experience. Mr. Hoover does not talk
just to be talking. He studies a thing
out and then gives his candid opinion.
And his opinion about 1025 is very op
timistic. He thinks “the economic struc- 1
ture of the world is on a more sound I
foundation than at any time since the
war.” The Secretary points out that
“there has been steady progress as a
rule toward larger production and full
er employment, and political as well as
financial ability.” Economic shock is
still possible, it is admitted, but Secre
tary Hoover thinks “the forces today in
motion all tend to great promise for the
forthcoming year.”
Reports from Raleigh indicate that not
more than .$25,000,000 will be allowed by
the legislature for road work in State.
All along it has been generally accepted
that .$35,000,000 would be voted but the
budget commission is getting to rock bot
tom in all matters this year aud it is
verty probable that it will recommend
an additional fund of not mote* than
$25,000,000. It is believed this amount
will carry the road work on for the next
two years and the Legislature of that
year can make provision for the future
years. Economy is going to be the watch
word of the next Legislature as well as
the next administration. That is indi
cated strongly when it is shown that less
money for roads is contemplated. Per
sons of the State have criticised large
appropriations for schools, State institu
tions and other causes but so far noth
ing has been said about money for roads.
The roads are carrying themselves, as it
were, and they have proved such a joy
and blessing that the people have left
them alone. But the budget commission ■
seems inclined to cut down the allow
ance for roads during the next two years
at least, and other departments and caus- (
es may expect reductions also. :
Trinity Accepts.
Lexington Dispatch. (
Happily, one of the drawbacks some
had feared might be attached to the Duke
gift to Trinity College put in their ap
pearance when the trustees came to the
acceptance of the six millions for ini- :
provements and the thirty-two per cent,
of the income of forty millions more as
endowment. It took the trustees of
Trinity less than an hour to wind up
the business of accepting the gift, which
was done by a unanimous vote of the en
tire board, with the exception of Mr.
Duke himself, who of course did not at
tend.
Those friends of the old Trinity that
grew out of Union Institute and Normal .
College will take pride in the fact that
the college of arts and sciences will be
Trinity. There will also probably he col
leges of law, medicine and religious train
ing and a woman's college, all to bear
names of distinction among Methodists
of North Carolina, all of which will be
grouped under the name of Duke Uni
versity.
It appears that the trustees will con
tinue to be selected in the manner in
which Trinity College trustees have been
picked and that Mr. Duke and the trus
tees of the great fund he has set aside
Will keep hand off the inner eontral of
the university, leaving its policies to the
trustees and faculty.
Mr. Duke has provided -that a certain
'per cent, of the income from the trust
fund shall go back into the original fund
until it shall have as least'doubled it
self. He estimates that with an aver
age earning of five per cent, on the power
stocks making up the forty millions the
fund should reach one hundred million
dollars in sixty years. And Mr. Duke
added that tikis investment has never
yielded as Tittle as five per cent, in a
year. This assures a constanly increas
ing annual income that will be sufficient
to take care of the great and growing
unixersity to be established and. also an
increase in the amount of other benefae-'
tions. He specifies that the university
must live within its income, and wisely
so, for here will he at least one college
not in debt.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
Hunt's onl/e44er 1
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
: Vfc j ASHINGTON—Anyone want.'
W ln * expert advice about
I ; “Keeping Cool With Cool
id'ge" should apply to those dis
tinguished journalists, George
Harvey and William Allen White.
George and BUI were invited to
spend a week-end with the presi
dent on a bit of a cruise in the
good yacht Mayflower. Naturally,
they accepted. Such invitations
aren’t turned down out-of-hand,
even In winter time.
But the Mayflower had hardly
cast: loose from her moorings
with Its distinguished cargo than
the mercury started to fall. . It
dropped 60 degrees In the 30 hours
covered by the cruise.
Os course neither Harvey nor
White blames the weather on Cool
idge. It was just a “coincidence,"
they say.
But both admit that ’"Keeping
Cool With Coolldge” became a lot
more realistic during the cruise
tluui 11 did during the campaign.

Such is the- claim of Garabed T.

eight years to grant him special
patent protection for an alleged
“free energy” invention. This In
vention, which Giragossian claims

WORLD PRODI CTION
OF COTTON LARGER
Leading Cotton Countries, It Is Esti
mated. Will Grow Total of 22,211,-
000 Bales.
Washington, Jan. 1- —Cotton produc
tion in countries that grow between !)3
and 00 per cent of the world Crop is
estimated at 22,211,000 bales of 478 .
pounds net ns compared with 17.028.000
bales last year, the department of agri
culture announced today.
“The total world cotton crop will
probably be about 23.000.000 -bales pro- 1
vided all other countries produced the
same quantity as last year,” '. the •de
partment's. announcement said. “World
production last year was 10.300.000
bales and the average for the 1000-13
five year .pre-war period was 23,580,000
bales. Brazil is the only important
producing country not yet heard from.
“The indicated world supply of
American cotton for the 1024-25 season
based on official production figures and
trade estimates of carrying over ap
proximates about 10.080,000 bales. If
this estimated carry-over figure is ap
proximately correct, the total supply of
American cotton for 1024-20 would be
somewhat larger than the official esti
mate for last year and slightly larger
than for 1022-23 but smaller than for
1021-22.
"Total eoneumption in the United
States for the four months ending No
vember 30 was 1.818,000 riming bales
of lint eotton as compared with 2,044.-
000 bales for the same period in 1023.
This decrease, however, has been more
than offset by increased exports. The
exports of domestic cotton excluding
linters. after four months August to
November this year was 3.237,000 run
ning bales ns compared with 2,459,0(K)
bales during the same period last year.”

TITHE unusual thing about Gira>
■A gossian la that, unlike most
Inventors who seek special
favors or hint at revolutionary dis
coveries, he la able to convince
members of the patents commit
tees of Congress that he “has
something.”
Back In 19X8 a joint resolution
providing for a demonstration ’of
Giragossian’s “free energy gen
erator” was adopted by both
houses of Congress.
This resolution guaranteed him
full patent protection in case the *
test passed the analysis of a board
of scientists.
Giragossian at that time declined
to disclose his mechanism on the
ground that the resolution put
upon him the burden of proving
he was th© “first and original
inventor” of the method, wjiich he
said he would lie unable to do.
An amended resolution relieving
the inventor of the necessity of
such proof, but drawn so as to
protect other -inventors or discov
erers making similar claims, has
been reported from the House
Patents Committee to the present
Congress.
• • *
THE forward strides made in re
cent years by such inven
tions as the airplane and radio
have made members of Congress
particularly chary about branding
any claimed invention as a “fake.”
And this Boston 'inventor has
been able so to impress the Con
gressional committees with his
general high intelligence and in
tegrity that >he faas them all
“guessing.”
“Scientists tell us over 7000 dif
ferent products can be produced
from coal,” Gigagossian says. “We
now burn this coal to get energy,
thereby destroying forever the in
gredients it contains.
' “All this would be saved tc fu
ture, generations by my 11-ee '
energy generator. And in the
meantime industrial and social re
forms beyond anything yet
dreamed of could be accomplished."

Eg-Kaiser Plan© to Visit Corfu.

this spring to visit again his old Palace

the past two years by the Near East
Relief as a orphanage for 700 Armenian
boys, Tlie Palace occupies Uie most
beautiful site on the Adriatic and was
formerly the summer home of Ihe Ger

of preservation, thank* tothe excellent
care taken of the property by the
Americans, but there is considerable
doubt asto whether either the Greek

It is always good to hear of how an \ l
upish tourist has been worsted in an en- ij
counter with a simple countryman.
A conceited English visitor got into [i
conversation with a native on the far |
western coast of Cornwall this summer,
and tried to be witty at his expense. j
“It’s a magnificent’view from this
headland,” said the tourist.
"Yes.” was the reply;! "we can see a j
long way.” i
“I suppose,” went on the Englishman, l
“on a fine day you can make out Amor- \

“Farther than that,” was the an- I

Oh—jic coughs and persistent colds lead
to serious lung trouble. You can slop them
now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creo
sote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion
is a new medical discovery with twofold ac
tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed
membranes and kills the germ.
Os all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by, the medical fraternity as the
greatest healing agency for tha treatment of
chronic coughs and colds and other forms
of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion ■
contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe end :-eal the :
inflrmed membranes and stop the irritation ?
and inflammation, while the creosote goes .
on to the stomach, is absorbed into the S
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and
destroys the germs that lead to consump- it
tion.
"reomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in -
the treatment of chronic coughs and colds,
Vonchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and
other forms of throat and lung diseases, and
is excellent for building up the eystem after
colds or the flu. Money refunded if any
cough or cold, no matter of how long stand
ing, is not relieved after taking according
to directions. Ask your druggist- Cre*
