Congress just can’t get together on the matter and all bids so far offered have been re jected. If there should be another war the plant will be of great value, to the government but at present the plant could be put to no greater use than in relieving the power shortage of the manufacturing South. Mecklenburg must have its politics. They are already talking about the next sheriff's race in that county and j this talk has resulted in the dismissal ■ of John Boyd Pharr, chief deputy | and jailer to Sheriff Cochran. Deputy I’harr let it be known last week that 1 he would be a candidate against Sher iff Cochran iu the next primary and the Sheriff dismissed him from the county payroll, with the statement, says Mr. Pharr, that he “could not have as chief deputy a man who is working against me.” Mr. Pharr op posed Sheriff Cochran in the last pri mary but despite this fact or because of it. was appointed chief deputy to the sheriff. He is not satisfied that the people do not want him for slier- 1 iff and is going to give them another opportunity to elect him. with Sheriff Cochran offering himself again. In most counties politics will create no interest until next year, but in Meck lenburg something seems to be stir ring all of the time. TODAY’S EVENTS.

( Asks Pity For tbe Wretched News- , paper Man.

"Every day from 40.000 to a quar- 1 ter of a million words have to be 1 poured into the bottomless wastepaper I baskets, the dust bins, the insatiable sewers of the world. And there is 1 no respite: there cau be no slackening off. However, little there is to say. the page- must be filled. "Eisyphus had to push a stone up a hill: when it got to the top. the stone rolled irresistibly down and he had to begin again. But at any rate ttic stone was always there: Sisyphus was nor expected to produce il and reproduce it any time, like a rabbit, out of his empty hat. "The newspaper man has to push just ns hard as Eisplms, and just as hopelessly; he must also eqpjure up his stone, every day, out of nothing. Hence the silliness that is iu newspa pers.

While many of the massage-m hair dressing and similar establish ments are doing a perfectly legiti mate business, there have sprung up during the past few years thousands |of socalled “beauty parlors" where , the rankest charlatanism is practice at the expense of the more gullible type of woman. Most of the ”’specialties” sold at these places, under poetic, high sounding names, are shams. Hair dyes which are comparatively harm less usually owe whatever virtue they j iKisses to the photographer’s old {friend “pyro” (pyrogaUie acid), a | few grains of which will go a long I way in staining. Other of the dyes vended are erratic in their action, and may produce serious skin troub les. • One of these mysterious prepa rations turned a woman’s hair green. Another gave rise to eczema iu a number of cases, the worst involv ing an expenditure of -more than S6OO for medical treatment- No less fraudulent are aids to beauty for which more extravagant claims are made. Os late man;,’ pre parations have been introduced for reducing flesh by friction. The wo man who thinks she is getting too stout pours 'a little of one of these nostrums into the palm of the hand applies it to the skin, and, presto, she is slimmer. Medical men of high standing de clare that no substance known to science has. by external application, any special effect in reducing flesh. For this purpose soap and water would be just as potent as any of the much-vaunted liquids sold iu tinted bottles with gold-lettered labels. Many of the flesh-reducing pow ders and tablets are likewise declared to be all humbug. If they apparently do good, it is because those who take them act on the suggestion made by the venders, and abstain for a time from suggar, candy, cream, potatoes, and tbe like. Sfelf-deniali ijfn fact, effects the ardently-desired loss of weight. Just as deceptive as such nos trums are some of the treatments given in the beauty -hops. Many wo men have had iiarnfin wax injected, under the skin of their faces with a view to restoring the lost contours of youth and dispelling wrinkles. They have been delighted with the result— for a brief period. But now they know how the penalties of such rejuvenation. The wax fa os l woman has to culti vate immobility of countenance. She must not smile or indulge in the luxury of tears, however great the provocatfcn, because smiling stretch es the skin, thus producing fresh wrinkles, and tears are apt to sof ten the lining of the cheeks. The “beautification" is not permanent. Sooner or later there is a slight discoloration beneath the skin, fol lowed by a -agging of the youthful lines, aud then the wax becomes lumpy, and the face reverts to its old shape. When this happens, the victim usually Ims the process re newed : but this is dangerous, as the pores pf the skin gradually become closed, and the general health is thereby seriously affected. Beauty sjieeialists, too, are now banishing wrinkles by electrical treatment, which exercises the mus cles under the -kiu, causing them to develop. This i.- efficacious only it has to be continued indefinitely. If the treament is stopped the muscles begin tto shrink, with the result that the wrinkles return. So it is with "treatments" for other purposes: they have to be repeated over Hnd over agaiu, a/nd consequently they become a regular expense to those who undergo them- There is uo end to the cost, • LOOK OUT, BOYS!

CHAPTER Vll—Continued It was a day of the stuff that fair June days and young girls’ dreams are made of; a day of such days as were appointed and ordained for youthful hearts when love first be gan and the world, too, was young. But to Bob Wilson, hotly restless on the bed that had khown no sleep ful relaxation of his strong, heavy masculine body throughout the short night, the light of the new born day welling into his room could bring no glad awakening. It brought not quietude, but weariness; not eager anticipation, but dull and apathetic echoes in his aching head of the old words that expressed the sum and substance of hobo philosophy. “What the hell’s the use of any thing? What the hell difference does anything make?” What use, what difference, in deed? After all his sturdy retilling and resowing, the chance for an abundant and joyous harvest now withered in his hands by discovery when he thought he was safe and forgotten; all his cherished isola tion and jealously guarded bars of secrecy brushed down until Crater City and the present were one with the rest of the world and the past. — Caroline was eagerly awaiting him Bob, rigid upon his back, stared miserably at the same patch of white ceiling on which the first flushing of light had found his eyes blankly fixed. He looked forward with dread to what would now be an ordeal all day with Caroline in the woodland, instead of a carefree .picnic. He wished that Morran had refused to grant him the day off. Then, he suddenly grew conscious that over and over he was telling himself to arise and dress and steal away from town with the beginning day and become a drifting nonentity again on the trail of forgetfulness. He could find and join Potts out there near Eagle Pass—dear, use less. companionable old "Pottsey,” whose return at this time was per haps opportune and providential in that it enticingly represented to Bob the easiest way for a trouble wearied man. “What the hell difference does anything make?” What difference could his going possibly make to anyone; preceding circlets of ripples in the public in terest as the days went on —then; forgotten! He twisted himself out of bed,' slowly, heavy-hearted.. He would go. even though the very walls seemed to be mocking him with an accusation of cowardice. He would leave a note for Jim. Ter Caroline he would . explain that Morran in the press of an emergency had can celled his day’s leave. Now that his mind was made up he plodded Steadily at the task of dressing. “Hurry up Daddy Bob—the lady will be waiting!” He had almost forgotten Bobby, who dishevelled from the sound and untroubled sleep of his babyhood stood in the doorway with his clothes in his hand, ready for Bob to dress him. Bob sat down on the bed with a short laugh, all his resolutions tq J _ ■ -r- - ase= aq Man’s Best Frienu.

I What do the Jfovies Mean to Me? That is n question that 1 have never. analyzed before today, and to answer I» is a hard job. My mother thinks the movies mean too much for me but I do not agree with her, and some of my friends think they wean too little. So I shall try briefly to tell wbat they mean to me In three ways— Recreation, History and Geography. Most people thiuk that because we are young and just go to school that we have an easy time. But if any adult would have to sit six hours in schoolrooms and concentrate on hard subjects they would not find it easy. Therefore I find it a real mental rest to sit in a beautiful theatre like we now have and see a' good motion pic ture. In summer when things are dull and nothing much is going on. it is a great pleasure instead of reading •hoprs and hours to go to a cool place and see a book in a few hours. Seeing the Pathe News is almost the sarile as reading a newspaper, but it is lots- mare entertaining. I can almost keep up with the happenings of the day in this way, and get a cor rect idea of what is happening and how. The movies give me a good conception of past history. Tney show in an interesting and vivid way, t-he I customs aud manners of the people of the past. It’s great men andi women are portrayed in such away that they seem more real.
