ATTEMPT MADE TO BURN THREE HART ZKACERSf Racing Cars Endangered by Fire Last Night—Alleged Enemies’ Work. Charlotte Observer. Excitement prevailed among the racing fraternity gathered at the Hotel Char lotte last night, when the jinx that bars followed the trail of Harry Hartz one of the most popular dirvers entered in tie race today, was being interpreted as having some ill-meaning instigator. Three Hiller special racing cars owned by "Smiling" Harry and keyed to the tiniest fraction to be-driven by himself, ia*on Duray and Fred Comer in the Me morial Day race at the speedway this afternoon, were endangered by tire through what are believed to be ruthless designs of some unknown enemies who probably hold high stakes on tHe race. I Tile thro trim mounts were parked in tjie rear of the bottom floor of the I>. B. Heath Motor Company. when flames emanating from a trash pile, gathered ostensibly for the purpose, near a rear window or the building, broke loose last night about 7 o'clock. Only fortune prevented tire from spreading over the building. Duray and Comer, who with llariz. had been at the building giving a last once over to the cars earlier in the af ternoon. chanced to pay a visit to the place at the very hour the tire starttil. Walking inside tile front, they smelled fniiies and quickly passed into the rear warehouse to investigate. Smoke hail gushed into the building and the window frames were burning.

It was pointed out last night that the originator of this story, which was utterly without any basiswhatsoever, in tended to unnerve the young driver in the coming race. No one, of cours?, likes to read about himself being killed and particularly just before admittedly flirting with death. Fred Wagner, official started, com mented on the possibility of this being an ill scheme the day it occurred, and last night, following the possible attempts to destroy the three Hartz machines, others joined in this belief and connected the two events as the malwork of dan gerous persons.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY || “GET WISDOM" THEME FOR BACCALAUREATE SERMON Dr. J. C. Rowan Preaches to Sunderland School Graduates at First Presbyter ian Church Yesterday. I-aurn Sunderland Memorial School graduating exercises were begun yester day at the First Presbyterianday when Dr. Jesse C. Rowan preached the baccal aureate sermon to the eight girl gradu ates. The other commencement exercis es will be continued today and tomorrow, the concluding class program being ren dered at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Although addressed primarily to the graduating class and student body of Sunderland. Dr. Rowan's sermon held in jt n direct message for the entire con gregation and was a powerful appeal for the individuals to "get that wisdom from above.” The service started with the student body entering the church from the two side doors singing, as the members march ed in, “Stand I'p. Stand Up. For Jesus." Tlie girls, uniformed in white m'ddie blouses with white skirts, made ail impres sive sight. The music they rendered was delightful as an example of excellent group singing. It was directed by Miss Akerstrom and Miss Helen Beaver as sisted at the piano. After the processional, the students <ang anthems in an effective manner, the first being from 2nd Timothy. 2:15. the second being “Like as a Father, aud the third "I Would Be True.' The two-part anthem, "Like as a Father." was espe cially good. Dr. Rowan's sermon was taken from Proverbs: 4:5. "Get Wisdom. Get Un, del-standing.'' In the development of the theme an additional text was taken from lames 3:17. "But this wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partial ity. and without liypycrlsy." He stated in the beginning that he had been asked by the graduating class to preach on the subject “Get Wisdom." He declared that it was one of the proudest moments of his life when he was asked to preach to the graduating class of Sunder land School. He then took each of the precepts con ainod in liis text from James and advised that they keep pure, then that they keep gentle, peaceable, open minded, merciful rad without partiality and hypocracy.

As soon as we had 1 shaken our coats, hats, shoes and um brellas and left them in the entrance, we went inside the door and kneeled on 1 the floor to make our bows to the host j '(this being Japan) and were invited in- ( to the best room.

J The thought of transporting Japanese I customs to America offers, it seems to ■ me, ridiculous possibilities. Picture, if you will, the immense affair known in social circles ns a floating reception. The hostess, beautifully gowned in the latest creation, meets each of the "400” at the door and, us they remove their shoes and park them in a small stand erected at the entrance of the home, remarks in . her soft purring tones that she is de : lighted to have such honorable guests in her Very vile home. Each of the guests replys in equally soothing accents that -she knows tiiat her presence is an insult, and, pouring out imprecations on herself- proceeds to the dining room where girls are serving food. The food, announce the girls as they I push platters heaped with salad at each of the gpests, is really terrible and there is practically none to bo had but they ex | press a hope that the guests will eat i plenty. Chairs are offered but out of politeness they are refused and the weary one stand, although their favorite corns and bunions are giving them a fit at that particular moment. Time conies when the hour of depar ture lias arrived. One guest starts to the door, still in her stocking feet, and suddenly throws her hands high in the I air. emitting a most unearthly acrefim.

As soon as she stops her car. the man who was bowled over runs up and breathlessly begs her pardon for getting in her way as she made her honorable journey up the street. She in turn urges that he visit a doctor and ascertain the extent of his injuries for which she is anxious to pay a great deal.
