Governor McLean Expected
Speak and Budget Com
mission May File Its Re
port During Week.
Raleigh, Jan, 20 (By the Associated
Press). —A crowded slate, a full program
will face the General Assembly when it
reconvenes tonight at 8 o’clock and indi
cations are it will be the most interest
ing program the Assembly has had* any
week since H began on January 7th.
The high spots on the program are re
ports of the budget commission and the
board of assessments and Governor Mc-
Lean's second message. ,
The time for the budget and assessment 1
bodies to submit their reports on which
the principal financial matters .will be
based is limited to the last session Satur
day, and .it is understood they will file
their .findings and recommendations be
fore that time, probably by Wednesday
or Thursday. .
Governor McLeean has announced that
he will deliver his second message as soon
thereafter as possible, and that in it he
will outline more definitely than in his
first message his financial views, recom
mending the amount he favors for ngw
rond bonds at this time. This sum, it
has been reliably learned, will be consid
erably lower than the $35,000,000 pro
posed in the Bowie-Heath bill introduced
in both houses last week.
Besides these three major events, the
legislative program includes a number of
others of no small importance, and it is
likely there wll be a number of develop
ments not slated.
Considerable interest will center in
two committee meetings. The House
roads committee is to meet and consider
the Bowie-Heath bill Thursday, agd the
insurance committees of both branches
will meet on the sume day Jp have a hear

Bobbed Hair am- Drug-Store Couplet*-
ion Going, Shy* Zetgfeid
New Yorlf, Jan. 26.—A new type of
American girl is heralded by Flo Zeig
felti, father of the Follies and connois
seur of beauty. He says, in an exclusive
interview with the I'nted Press:
'1 —Tht flapper has sung her swan
song.
2 The drug store complexion is dis
appearing.
3 Bobbed hair seems to have had its
day, although some girls still should
swnnk it because it becomes them more.
4 The outstanding shortcoming of
the modern girl is knock-knees.
5 Personality is the thing—not fac
ial beauty or perfections in figure. .
The successor to the tapper which
has been the rage to Zeigfeld, is slightly
heavier of build, though the boyish fig
ure still continues in vogue. She should
measure about five feet, five and a half
inches in eight, weigh about 117
pounds and wear a sixe five shoe.
“I think the new type of American
girl is a distinct, improvement over Her
predecessor,” said Zeigfeld. “The flap
per’s ma ! n object in life appeared to be
to keep her nose a powdery white.”
. “What about bobbed hair?” the pro
fessor of pulchritude was asked. Zeig
feld laugh. “The abreviated couture,
I am sorry to say, seems to have had its
dn -r . I guess there’s no question now but
thiVK ’png hair is recovering from the
•rocenfr' Slump of popularity. *
"And yet if bobbed hair does go out
- of .style, only one factor will be respon
sible. Women like it because it has
proved more practicable, more comfor
table and more sensible.”
Many girls should continue to wear
their hair "bob” style, even if it does go
out of vogue, according to Zeigfeld, be
cause in numerous instances it is a dis
tinct improvement in the personal ap
pearance.”
Here are the specificattions of Zlegfeld
Perfect Girl:
Height—6 feet, 5 1-2 inches,
. Weight—ll7 pounds.
Feet—Must wear not larger than sixe
five sTjoe.
Hands—Should be slim and tapering
and in proportion to height.
Head —Four times the length of nose.
Arms—Three fifths length of body.

BLUE SKY LAW WITH TEETH
BUI In Senate Will Provide Legislation
Long Needed.
(«» the Associated Press.)
Raleigh, Jan. 26. —If a bill recently
Introduced by Senator Dunlap, of An
son, on behalf of the State Insurance
I Department, is adopted by the General
Assembly, North Carolina jvill have a
blue sky or securities law with teeth in
’ if. according to Insurance Commissioner
i Stacey W. Wade.
j Mr. Wade said he and his assistants
' wrote the bill on the basis of the best
1 features of blue sky laws of other states.
It is very like the Georgia securities
'law. he added.
One of the outstanding features of the
proposed law for North Carolina is a
requirement that all securities tpt be
sold ih this state, except for a few of
the “guilt edge” variety, be qualified and
listed on a register tb be kept by the
insurance oommissioner and to be open
to public inspection. In most states,
said Mr. Wade, it is necessary only to
file a notice of intention to sell stocks
and bonds.
Qualifications of securities nnd their
worthiness for enrollment is the insur
ance commission’s register will be large
ly a matter of discretion with the head /
of (he department, under the proposer
law, but there are certain requriments
outlined in the law that must be mea
sured up to. These requirements are
more stringent than they have ever been
in this state heretofore, declared Mr
Waed.
The issuer of the stock for which sale
application has been made would be re
quired to post a bond of not less than
( SI,OOO and not more than SIOO,OOO, in :
'the discretion of the insurance commis-,
sioner. Stock and bond salesmen would
have to give bonds of not less than $5,000 i
nor more than $50,000 before being au
thorized to carry on their business. Here
tofore the minimum bond has been
SI,OOO. Saleraen and dealers would al- ]
so have to pay the usual license fee. ,
Under the present blue sky law, said ,
Mr. Wade, some security agencies are (
exempted from the license fee. Under ,
this new bill even banks and trust coin- ,
panics would have to secure licenses to
carry on business in stocks and bonds
and other securities coming- under juris
diction of the insurance commissioner. ,
Another new phase of Mr. Wade's pro- '
posed law is a. clause making it unlaw- j
ful for a newspaper to carry advertise- ,
ments of securities not listed on the in
surance department’s qualified register or
not exempted from this requirement. ,
Among the exempted securities are ,
bonds issued by the federal government
or any state and securities handled by ■
any exchange of a city of 500.000 popu- j
lation*or over. Mortgage ‘securities
would have to be qualified. *
The insurance commission is author
ised, under the new bill, ft issuel'warn
ings coneernings the presence, of blue sky ]
law ..violation in .the state and ia -ee
qiilred to advertise the names- of stocks
nnd bonds denied entry on the qualified
register.
Punishment by a fine or not more than •
S2OO, a sentence of two years imprison- I
ment or both, is provided in the "bill for
violation of any of Its provisions should
it be enacted. 1
The measure is now in the hands of
the Senate insurance committee and is
expected to come up for consideration !
in the near future - . 1
POSTAL PAY AND RATE 1
BILL STILL IN SENATE j
Bill Has Right of Way in Upper House '
of Congress and Is Being Fully Dis
cussed.
(By the AnoolaiMl Press.'
Washington, Jan. 26. —The postal pay
and rate increase bill continued to have
right of way in the Senate today with
its rate provisions still the object of at
tack by opposition forces.
Senator Swanson, Democrat, of Vir

action on the bill he would again at
tempt by motion to have all of the rate
increase provision stricken out which
would leave the measure in the same
form as when vetoed by President Cool

Duka University Thrills a Great
Crowd.
Durham, Jan. 25.—-For 40
here last night the Duke university
basketball quint kept 2,000 persons al-,
most breathless by a brilliant passing
nnd shooting gaitte which kept the Uni
versity of North Carolina on the de
fensive and bolding the narrow end of
the score. In the last 10 minutes of
play, however, it was the Duke quint
that was breathless and U. N. C., true
to form,* turned the tide and eaaed a 25
to 21. score over the Methodists. ’
It was a beautiful game, infinitely
more spectacular than those attending
had anticipated. The ease in which the
Duke team p’ayed, and the skill
demonstrated by the Tar Heels made it
progress as if deliberately planned.
It was a great game, and 2,000 fans
unanimously say so.

(By the Associated Press)

eight men, officials ami employees of the :
Bailey Brothers, a Winston-Salem tobae
eo manufacturing concern, which went in
to bankruptcy in 1923. today were to go
on trial in the U. S. (District Court here
on charges of using the mails .to defraud
in connection with the sale of stock in '
the concern. It is charged in the indict
ment that the firm «as insolvent at the
time the stock selling campaign was in- ,
augurated nnd the allegation is made that
the officials of the cokeern nnd the stock
salesmen knew this.
Besides alleging that the firm was in
solvent, the indictment charges that div
idends of 7 per cent, were paid during
the stock selling campaign ■at a time
when the company was not making mon
ey ; that the cost of stock sales was really
25 per cent, instead of the 15 pe* cent.,
it was represented as costing; that the
concern made a false statement to the
effect that it had $425,000 on deposit in
« Winston-Salem bafikVax guarantee for
dividends, and that a mass of untruthful
advertising regarding the stock was dis
tributed.
Salesmen sold the stock in the Pied
mont section of North Carolina and in
Virginia, mostly in small blocks, it was
said. The company was adjudged bank
rupt shortly before the indictment was
returned. ,
The company for many yenrs was a
prosperous tobacco manufacturing con-
cern. Creditors petitioned for a bank
ruptcy order, nnd after it was obtained
the firm’s property was sold and it went
out of existence.

Goodwin, assistant secretary of the in- -

five-year social nnd economic program ]

with flying banners to the chapter as
sembiy and told Superintendent Oamp,-
bell what they had accomplished in
economic and social progress. Last Sum

PATROLLING TOWN
But Everything Has Been
Quiet Today and Desire for
Retaliation Has Not de
veloped as Was Expected.
Herrin. HI., Jan. 26 (By the Associ
atede Press), —S. Glenn Young, pic
turesque Williamson County dry raider
and Ku Klux Klan leader, Vivo of hia
companions, and his avowed enemy, Ora
Thomas, deputy sheriff and nnti-Klnn
leader, lay dead here today and in their
passing citizens found hope that Herrin's
days of bloody turmoil were over.
State militiamen again had custody of
the town, although for many sides it was
expected thdt with the leaders fallen
! none would be found to carry on the in
ternecine struggle.
Many conflicting theories confronted
affieers seeking to establish the
manner of the fatal meeting, but it seems
that from them this was the best recon
struction of what occurred.
A single shot was fired from the vicin
ity of the European Hotel about 9:40
o'clock Saturday night. Young, Ed. For
bes and Homer Warner left a nearby
restaurant to investigate.
In the hotel cigar store they met Thom
as and when the smoke had cleared,'
Young, shot through the heart, and For
bes were dead while Thomas lay dying
on the floor.
Despite Mrs. Young's statement that
witnesses would be on hand today, none
could be found yesterday. At least four
men were known to have been present, but
their names remnined unrevealed. An
hour or two later the news reached Gov.
Small and he immediately directed Ad
jutant General Carlos Black to send mil
itiamen to Herrin from Carbondale. a
few miles away.
Today found everything quiet with on
ly shattered window punes and bullet
scarred walls as a public testimonial of
,tb.« niglttjj conflict.
Much of the bitterness and deserp for
retaliation which had masked other
clashes in the county seemed lacking.
The investigation by the state marked •
time pending the inquest.
BLAMES TIPPING HABIT
FOR LACK OF APPRENTICES
Speaker Says Boys Prefer Easy Way to
Annex Cash. *
Atlantic City, Jan. 26.—The Lute of
tips was held by G. H. Barett, of
Bloomington, 111... to be one of the
causes for the alarming shortage of ap
prentices in the allied building trades,
when he addressed the annual conven
tion of the Internatonal Cut Stone Con
tractors & (juarrymen's Association at
the Hotel Trymore today. "The Ameri
can business man practices false gene
rosity." he said, “actually discouraging
young men from taking up a life of
labor. Such fellows as bellboys, theatre
ushers and ’red caps’ mate double and
many times what a working man earns,
and it is largely the type of American
business man represented in this con
vention hall whieb contributes to these
incomes by his absolutely false idea of
generosity.
“We have seen big. healthy men toss
a half dollar to a red cap for carrying
his bag a half-block—five minutes’ work
-—and the same man would object
strenuously if a journeyman plumber
Would charge him a dollar for an hour’s
work. The youth is bound to analyze
those opportunities nnd, if concerned
solely with present-day dollars rather
than a life’s vocation, is going to take
the easiest way in getting the' coin,
rather than fortfy himself with a legiti
mate trade.”
Altamaha River Causes Damage.
(By the AawelaM Preae.)
Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 26. —Stories of loss
of livestock and increasing damage to
roads and bridges continued to come this
morning from sections of Georgia, flooded
by ,tl>c wild waters of the Altamaha
Hiver. Relief measures were going
steadily forward this morning, striving
against time and the high waters to be
come effective before more actual physic
al suffering may be felt.
The durability of white pine is il
lustrated in a house at Salem, Massa
chusetts, which was sided with white
pine in 1684 and. today, after 240 years,
is in an excellent state ot preservation.
