ROBERTS OP CAROLINA MOTOR CIXB, SPEAKS IN CONCORD Heard by Representative Gathering of Business Men at Y. M. C. A. Monday Morning. C. \V. Roberts. Vice President of the Carolina Motor Clubs, who spoke in Concord Monday, was heard with much ihterest and benefit by a representative gathering of business men. Some of the most important points stressed by Mr. Roberts were: The reduction of accidents on our high ways and streets is a work that deserves the attention, thought and action of the best minds of our communities. * It is a 1 work- which too many are willing to leave 1 to others, which too many are willing to think as just one of the necessary events of the' day. Accidents on our streets and highways ‘.are not necessary, but they cannot be re- } jduced by talk alone, they cannot be re- ; duced by local, laws or state laws, and they cannot be reduced to any apprecia ble extent by local efforts alone; but I 1 most sincerely believe there is away to reduce them or eliminate them; and that is by concentrated effort throughout the ] state, following a uniform plan of ac- * tion, and Mien seeing it through to the ; finish. Accidents will be reduced when ‘ sufficient public sentiment is created so ; that drivers and pedestrians will desire ; to observe courtesies and laws of the ; road because they are right and proper ■ and not because the law eompcls them to. ; This is merely one of the activities Os j the Carolina Motor Club, and to my ; mind its the most important at this ; time. I nin certain our work has already ; been effective all over the state; but ' nothing compared to what it will be through the plan which the Board of Di rectors will probably launch at their ‘ meeting on April Bth. Tics single activ ity is the strongest Teason wiiy the au-. tomobile owners- should support the Club. I The other day a man who has been a member for three years said to me: “I think I will cancel my membership, X have been a member three years and my car hasn’t been stolen, and I haven’t had to be pulled in”; I simply asked him if a he cancelled his life insurance policies * because he hadn't died, or if he had can- i celled his fire insurance policy because i his house was not burned up! Os course his answer was no. Then I asked him if I his children were still alive, and if he and , i his wife had not suffered accident by i 1 automobile, wasn’t it a possibility that | some work of the club hadn’t meant the i snving of his life or the lives of his chil j dren. What he thought I do not know, i anyway this man is still a member of the i club, and he believes in it. ! Legislative work of your organization i hns been of value, but in the near fu i ture the riiotor car and motor truck own | er will have their rights more strongly t when it comes time to make laws. | The Automobile and truck owners op | erate tile largest transportation system in > all the world, yet compare their organi | zation for sell protection with that of ■ the great rail lines; heretofore they have ' been willing to trust to luck or let the in | dividual think alone, and you know how i far that gets. Now the motor vehicle I owner and operator is beginning *to real . ize the need and value of organization, j and only by this organization are we go ing to obtain any fair success in getting I "what we desire and deserve.’ In North Carolina we, the ear owners and dealers par more taxes than all ofher industries pu.‘. together. The Carolina Motor Club was founded by unselfish men for unselfish purposes. It is purely an organization of car own ers, for car owners by ear owners. Its sole purpose for existence is to serve motordom and humanity. Its so founded that no man or group can ever get con trol of it for privnte purposes; it is so constructed that it must always operate without profit to any man or men. Its biggest services is to'strangers who are visitors to our state, or who desire to visit our state, and then its many direct benefits to its members are sufficient to justify every car or truck owner to desire to support it. I confidently believe if ev- L ery owner really knew the ideals back : of the organization, knew the ideals in the hearts of the officers who are devot ! ing the best of their lives in the interest of public service, that every owner would join. The new Truck Division which your Bonrd of Directors expect to establish at their meeting on April Bth, is going to do four things of great importance. Its going to reduce accidents by trucks. Its going to reduce insurance cost on motor trucks. j Its going to reduce cost of operation | and maintenance. Its going to increase the efficiency and value of the truck and its operator. The directors have authorized the or ganization of the members in each town into a local branch so as to make the l work of the plub more effective and to * carry through its program by comparison ! Z of towns against towns and Show the progress of the work all over the State. ! 1 Last year the Oaroiina Motor Club 11 worked out a co-operative arrangement 1 1 with the State Automobile Department 1 1 for the distribution of automobile license 1 1 plates. It turned out to be a great ser i vice to the public. It cost the club some | money but it was a worthwhile service, i Last year the cost to the state was 21.4 i per plate issued. This year the nrrange | ment with the Commissioner of Revenue i | only allows the club 10 cents per plate is-j 1 sued, so you see we desire and feel like | the club deserves the co-operation of the * car owners by supporting i tin every way; To make your license plate available in a few moments in a service which every -1 body appreciates but thinks very little | of bow much it cost and how it is doing ■ It. , THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE CROSSWORD PUZZLE • a p j Hk s ■ -ja -p i, O is •« jHRIF - ~~ ’■■jaT |Hf2T J3JWS4 - las J —"TBBat ■■l - — 27 as j I I jflßpi ■■■ M lHp°~ 54 55 ■■■sb K? lo - Crossword puzzle fans who think nothing is too hard for them, have a right to boast if they complete this correctly in half an hour.

Widow of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico is Now Critically 111. Brussels, March 30.—Marie Carlotta Amelie, the 80-yenr-old widow of Em peror Maximilian of Mexieo, brother of the late Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, who was captured and shot by the Mexican Republicans move than a century ago. is reported to be in such a state of health, owing'.-to the natural infirmities of her age aggravated by a severe case of influenza, that her end is believed to be only a question of weeks or even days. The death of the “Empress Char lotte,” as she is still called, will remove from the world’s stage one of its most ppthetic figures. In the whole range of human history there has been no sad der instance of a mind o’ercast- Two thirds of her long life have been passed in a state of mental vacancy. For many years she has been confined in a living tomb at the chateau of Bouehoute, in the suburbs of Brussels, which was set apart for her residence by her brother, the late King Leopold of Belgium. It was near Brussels ’ that C-nrlotta first saw the light of day, 1840. She was the daughter of Leopold 1., king of the Belgians. Her marriage to Maximilian, archduke of Austria, took place in 1857. When Maximilian went to Mexico in 1864, Oarlotta accompanied him, but in 1866, when the dissatisfaction against the Emperor became acute, Maximilian sent her to France to ask for help from Napoleon 111. The latter refused to lend assistance to the cause and Carlotta went to Rome to appeal to the Pope. On her arrival in Rome the Empress was already in a pitiable mental and nervous state. Pius IX. received her in his private study after mass which Bhe had attended. The Express insisted upon leaving on her hat in defiance of all Vatican etiquette, His Holiness was having his breakfast. He asked permis sion to proceed with his meal. Carlotta suddenly dipped her fingers in his chocolate and then licked them. Alarmed at this strange behavior, the Pontiff summoned physieins andi the Empress was moved from the chamber with much difficulty. Then she refused to leave the Vatican and insisted upon spending the night there —an unprecedented thing. As she could only be removed by force, it was decided to humor her. TOie young 1 Empress, driven insane by sorrow and worry, thus become the only woman in hibtory who ever spent a night in the Vatican. Subsequently Oarlotta was brought to Belgium, where King Leopold turned over to her the chateau of Tervueren. one of the' most beautiful royal resi dences in Europe. Some years later she set this on fire, and it was completely destroyed. Since then she has been con fined at Bouehoute. | Carlotta never knew of the execution !of Maximilian. At times since she has talked of him as if he were still alive. Usually she is quiet, but when excited her anger and. violence know no bounds. She hated her brother. King Leopold, but has always displayed great friend liness toward King Albert and Queen Elizabeth, who have visited Her at - regular intervals and have rendered her 66 Upper law body (U.

During the * war, on the invasion of Belgium by the i Germans, it was reported that Carlotta j had been removed from her retreat and , rumor had it that she’ had; been placed temporarily in a beautiful country house \ in Wnles. So far as known, however, , there was no foundation for such re ports. i Carlotta is believed to be immensely i wealthy. Her estate has been variously i estimated at from $60,000,000 to SBO,- ] 000,000. This, or such part of it as still ( exists, will be inherited upon her death j by the members of the Belgian royal family. STATEMENT J Cabarrus Mutual lire Insurance Com- j pany, Concord, N. C.
