KIWANIS MEETING 1
Delightful Music Trent bs Mr. and
Mrs. Johnson.—Farewet to Mr! I
Seovil.
Kiwanians of the Conoord clttb were
given a delightful treat at the regular
meeting Friday noon at the Y. M. <
C. A. in the musical program rendered 1
by Prof, and Mrs. Johnson, of New I
York, who are in Conoord conducting I
a singing school at the First Baptist i
Church. 1
The business session of the # club did 1
not produce anything of a ousiness i
nature for the club to act upon. Bre- I
vard Harris, the president, announced i
to the club that Kiwanians Charles t
Scovil was present at the meeting fbr i
his last time before moving from Con- i
cording to Minneapolis, Minn., and '
called on Lee Crowell to deliver a fare- I
well oration. Lee responded with a 1
very appropriate talk, which he con
cluded by presenting a token of es- I
teem to the Kiw|nian who will soon '
leave. Kiwanian Seovil told the Ki- i
wanians of the pleasant years he had t
spent in Concord; and declared he i
would never leave were it not for the t
fact that the repeated call for his
.services in the teaching field had been,
so urgent that 'it could not be dis
-1 regarded longer.
1 The entertainment program, ar- '
ranged by Gilbert Hendrix, was a
most pleasirfg one, consisting of «ev- 1
eral vocal selections by Prof. Johnson,
followed by Mrs. Johnson, the accom
paniments being rendered by Mrs.
Nell Herring Correll at the piano.
The Kiwanians by their' spontaneous
encores expressed their delight at the
splendid music rendered by these two
artists.
The attendance prizen, given by Gil
bert Hendrix, was drawn by Noel
K. Reid. The silent boost was given
by Gilbert Hendrix.

npxt Friday noon will be in charge of 1

SIGNALS WITH BELLS
WORK AT CHARLOTTE
Some Complaint About Noise But the
Bells Are Still In Use. —No Left
Hand Turn.
Charlotte, Aug. 21.—The electric
traffic control system in urc in Char
lotte for the past 18 months or two
years has proven satisfactory, accord
ing to city officials, who say that
without such a system control of the
daily growing traffic problem would
be well-nigh impossible.
. The system employed here is on
the same general principal as that
now in vogue in a number of other
North Carolina towns and cities.
Traffic is controlled by means of a
light and bell madiine or instrument
placed over the middle of street inter
sections on Trade and Tryon streets,
the principal business thoroughfares of
the city.
When first installed there some
objection to the noise created by the
signal bells, 1 this coming from per
sons living immediately on the streets
and from hotels and rooming houses.
City officials and a number of auto
mobile drivers with whom the bell sig
nal was discussed approve the idea,
pointing out thpt it is in
that it gives drivers actual warning
to be on the lookout when approach
ing intersections at which the con
trols are located. The opinion was
expressed by several that a part of
the efficiency of the system would
be lost should the bell be discarded..
Abolition of all left turns on main
streets here has done as much or more
than any other one thing to simplify
the traffic problem and prevent the
' worrisome and troublesome jams.
The one hour parking law, strictly en
forced, and no parking on certain
restricted streets also makes the mat
ter of traffic control more easy.
| The Charlotte police department em
ploys a large number of traffic of
ficers and an officer is in the vicnity
of one of the busy corners at all times
to see that the "no left turn” rule is
not violated and tot any pos
-1 (ability of a jam from any cause.
I The only kick heard on Charlotte's
traffic control system was that the
lights are hard to see from a major
ity of the present-day makes of auto
mobiles, being at such an elevation
that the top of the machine comes
in the line of vision.
BEN SHARPE APPOINTED
DRY LAW ADMINISTRATOR
Gets Place in Race of Much Oposl
tkm From Softh Carolina.—Head
quarters at Charlotte.
Washington, Aug. 21. —The treas
ury department today announced for
mally the names of the new federal
district administrators, who are to be
made responsible in their territories
for the enforcement of prohibition. As
prophesied some time ago, Ben C.
Sharpe, is the person, and Charlotte
is the place, for the enforcement of
the dry laws in the new district com
prised of North Carolina, South Car
olina and Georgia.
It is understood ■ that a very deter
mined fight for the recognition given
to Mr. Sharpe was made by Director
Coltranc, of Salisbury, and by Direct
or Grandy, of South Carolina. The
Grandy supporters came forward with
the argument that North Carolina
shsonld not be given both the admin
istrator and the administrative offices,
bnt those familiar with conditions
countered with the claim that adequate
federal space had not. been found in
South Carolina and Georgia, and that
a lot more federal business, of the
kind involved, was done in North Car
olina than In either of the other two
states.
To make a choice between Sharpe
and Contrane mayhave caused « meas
ure of embarrassment in certain quar
ters, but it is raid for the former that
as divisional chief he looked after a
large territory, and that bis duties
were in some respects more compre
hensive than those contemplated in
the office of state director. Sharpe
had made a good executive officer, it
was explained, and it had been deter
mined to give him a still larger field
of service. His salary will be $7,500,
and there can be no longer any doubt
about the relative importance of his
job.
He will be responsible for what goes
on in three states, the Carolina* and
Georgia, and it will be his province 1
to hire and fire men. There win be
two deputy administrators in the state,
the eastern and western federal Ju-
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
BUB SCHEDULES
; TO BE REVISED
Six More Round Trips Requested in
Addition to IS Now in Effect;
Problem Presented.
Raleigh, August 21. — Gharlotte-
Greensboro bus line operators were
before the corporation commission
for the second time within a month
today seeking a devision of operat
ing schedules and a greater num
ber of through runs. While apparent
ly favoring the action of the com
mission in a recent order reducing
the through service from a 30-
miuute to an hourly schedule, each
of six lines sought the Addition of
one or more round trips to its allot
ment, a request which, if granted,
would probably necessitate the re
turn to the 30-minute sehedue of at
least to a 50-minute schedule.
Thirteen round trips daily be
tween Charlotte and (Greensboro
were provided for in new schedules
made effective following n hearing
three weeks ago. The total number oj
new runs asked today by the opera
tors was six.
What They Ask.
Kirks Auto Service line, which
was given six round trips under the
new order, did not ask tor an in
crease in trips, but it sought a new
time for leaving its terminals. Ac
cording to the bus men. there is a
greater yield on some trips than on
others. Kirks seeks more favored
schedules.
The Dixie Motor Coach Line,
which was*given four runs per day,
under the order, today asked for two
additional trips.
Charlotte-Concord bus lines, wnieh
received two trips, asked for an
extra one- White Bus line, which the
former order placed entirely on local
trips between Concord and Kanna
polis, wanted one round trip between
Charlotte and Greensboro. The Royal
Blue Transportation company, now
on local service between Greensboro
and High Point, wanted one through
run between Greensboro and Char
lotte.
The White Bus aud the Royal Vlue
each had through runs when the 30
minute schedules were in effect.
The Royal Blue claimed today that
during the nine days its operations
had been confined to the Greensboro-
High Point run its total profits
amounted to sll. The White Bus
line reported that during eight days
of its local run between Concord and
Kannapolis it took in altogether s2l.
Will Try Again.
As a result of today’s hearing the
commission may undertake to again
rearrange the schedules and the al
lotment of trops. It has fixed two
sets of schedules for the Charlotte-
Greensboro run since bus lines went
under state control. The eominiastoin
is aiming at service that will enable
the operators to make a profit. All
of them have been admittedly los
ing money under the former
schedules.
The operators are apparently in
fqvor of an hourly schedule, but
none is willing for a cut in bis allot
ment of trips, which presents a real
fblem to the commission in its ef
ts to put the lines on a profitable
is without donfiscating -the pro
ty andequipment of the operating
ikies.
Dun’s Trade Review.
, New York, Aug. 21. —Dun’s to
morrow will say:
Each week's reports bring out
more clearly the fact that most
phases of the business situation are
favorable. Encouragement has been
derived from results this summer
which'have been better on the whole
than was anticipated and the con
flicting tone of the dispatches from
leading trade centers is a distinguish
ing feature. Progress has been on a
conservative basis, thus strengthen
ing the prospects of its continuance
and more or less expansion has oc
curred in all of the principal in
dustries. The gain is the more signi
ficant because it has come at a time
of the year when an opposite tend
ency would not seem unnatural,
while conditions are pore stable now
and the outlook is 'more promising
than has been the case for a long
period. Competition for orders is
keen and there continues to be com
plaint of small profit margins in
some importat lines, as in steel and
textiles, yet the main trend of prices
in other commodities than foodstuffs
is still toward higher levels and there
is no ' general disposition among
buyers to defer commitments in the
expectation of obtaining concessions.
