But if modern clothes and modern stage setting piake the actors feel like real persons saying things they actually mean, then there has been an advancement.

Maness.’’ “Bagdad” Surpasses All Other Films. Douglas Fairbanks' glorious fanta-sy of the Arabian Night, "The Thief of Bagdad." will be the attraction at the Concord Theatre Monday. This pho toplay, according to all accounts, sur passes anything hetrofore seen on the screen. This extraordinary picture has upset the equilibrium of the critics in every city in which it has beeu presented. It is the crescendo pho toplay. It is a fantastical story of love and adventure, laid in an imag inary world of fancy, abounding with amazing happenings, and what critics generally have called unbelievable wonders. K you still believe in love, if adventure still stirs you. if you like your heart to miss beats in ec static moments of exciting suspense, if you enjoy the surprise of seeing things that heretofore you thought were impossible—-here in- "The .Thief cf Bagdad” are all these things, in the background of beauty and splen dor. In this picture, a winged horse Hies up to and through the clouds. A magic carpet soars over the house tops and into the ksy; wonder after wonder, suprise after surprise, are •acre revealed inamazing abundance. To depict such happeuiugs on the screen has never been considered within the bounds of possibility. This crowning achievement has been ac complished by Douglas Fairbanks. It has received the highest endorsements that any picture lias ever received. In this particular.'it will be well to repeat what Robert L. Sherwood wrote in hb: department iu "The Si lent Drama.” in "Life.” April 3. 1924. "After seeing 'The Thief of Bagdad." I am more competent to understand the motives which inspired the sturdy Britons who have been struggling for years to reach the peak of Mt. Everest. I know now what it means to be able to say. 'Well.

Family ties which were broken mare than a quarter of a century ago were knitted together /again here this week when two brothers met for the] first time in 38 years. The brothers i are Charles E. Workhe'ser, of Acker- j monville, Pa., and William Work heiser, who has been making his home J home here for several years. William Workheiser - left his Penn- ■ sylvauia home 38 years ago, telling liis family he was going to Canada. That was the last they heard of him until last February when 'he suffered t a slight stroke of paralysis and ■ friends here -communicated with them. 1 j The letter resulted in the visit made by Charles Workheiser, his wife and daughter, who arrived in Concord last j Saturday and returned Tuesday. "Cnele Billy" Workheiser. as the! j brother living here is popularly I I known, has been guardian of the j grounds of the Cabarrus County Fair l Association for the past three years, ! drawing a salury from the association j and selling cold drinks, "hot dogs” and j egg sandwiches on the side. He has been living the year round at his stand just on the inside of the fair grounds and his honesty, clean living, and strict adherence to his own af fairs have gained many friends for hi if. N'otlrng was known of ihis family until he became ill and he told of his brother then only at the insist ence of his friends who feared the stroke of apoplexy might prove seri ous. When Charles Workheiser drove in to the fair grounds Saturday "Uncle Billy" did not know him at first. They had not seen one lyiother for 38 years and although they are like in many ways and could easily be spotted as brothers it was a few min utes before "Uncle Billy" realized that he was shakiug hands with homefolks for the first time jn almost two score years. . Tile Pennsylvania man insisted that his brother return home with him but "Uncle Billy” declined, declaring the auto trip would be too much for his physical condition as would a winter in the Pennsylvania mountains. "I aui going up there about the middle of next May,” he promised his brother, -‘for I think the mountain air will be just til? thing I need in hot weather.' "I ncle Billy -1 is not going to man age a stand at the grounds during the fair this year, he having leased his place of business. "People are so anxious to short-change you and cheat you in other ways." lie explained, "and ; 1 am not physically able to look after things. 1 can make more profit by leading the stand than 1 can by oper ating it for a week.” Physically he ban no pain from the stroke now. the genial guardian of the grounds stated, but his legs are very weak and he finds it almost impossible to keep go ing in hot weather. Something of the honesty of Wil liam II orkheiser is shown jn a recent i experience be had at the grounds. A stranger drove up and asked for a “cold dope." It was sold to him aud immediately was used as a ‘chas- j er" by the man who produced his Hask | and took a drink of contraband. The ‘ next day “Uncle Billy’ did not open his stund for business, explaining to friends that he would not sell “dopes" if they were to be used as “chasers" for men violating the law. "Uncle Billy" was delighted to see his brother and to have had occasion to talk over with him experiences of years ago. The Pennsylvania broth-! er also expressed keen pleasure over I tile reunion and left for home only ’ when lie had persuaded "Uncle Billy" j to give up the stand during the whi tes months and had extracted from him a promise to return to Penns' i vania next summer.

Again China is in a turmoil, and once more her friend the tinted States has come to her aid. Throughout. China there is an undercurrent- of hatred of foreigners, and not without reason. The great powers have done much good in China, and they would have done much more if China had been as prdmpt to learn' from them as .Taptui was. But the great powers have ex ploited Ohiua unconsciously for their own selfish ends. There is no denial of that. They did it because they could. That has always beeu the waff if great nations. . Alina is a land of vast natural rc soujee. but it is a land of starvation wages. The man who gets 10 cents a day regularly 1s well off. Foreign concerns have built factories tuere. Bnt instead of. rasing the native pgy ; they- solicit more home capital on Che ground of the "cheap labor" in China. “ ’ j Ijt is humiliating to any nation of a Rule intelligence ami pride to sub-j mit to the system of “extraterri-j tnriilfty"—especially after all the other backward nations save thrown i lie system- off. If a German or an Englishman' now <-onimits a crime iu Turkey’ he is tried in a Turkish court and punished' by Turkish officials. Turkey demanded that right—the abolition of the "capitulations’'— at 11 .ansahue. and got it. Japan used to riie in the same boat, bat she threw | off extraterritoriality in the early nineties. Ihe [lowers have been promising China, through treaties, for the lust 20 years to abandon this privilege, as wall as nthe*. like determination of the tariff rates aud the control of customs- At the Washington eon fejeee ini P*2l -1922. ou the insistence of the United Stans, a definite," writ ten and formal promise wits made. | AH agreed. A commission of jurists was to be appointed in three months I after ratification to make n study of the police and legal systems of China and report within a year. China asked for a postponement of the examination and got it. There now appears no further excuse for the de lay. But the powers still object to the ! ■ 8. plan "to bring peace and jus i re to China. " They say that China mast first "put her house in order.” But holding China to the old disad vantages Is the surest way of hinder ling her from straightening things up. To recognize her rights Wo some thing more than a barbarous nation’s j status would help her. To help has always been the United States’ at titude toward China. Thera is another strong reason for loosening the selfish grasp on this great but disorganized nation. Rus sian reds are taking advantage of the injustice of the European [lowers to stir up trouble aud incline the Chinese toward communism. Rus sians offer the recognition the other powers deny. They also urge violence and hatred toward the "capitalistic powers.” There would be a “yellow peril" indeed if China's sleep should he ended with a moral alliance with the great trouble-milking -and com munistic nation. At tho Washington conference the powers denied China's request for au increase of nie per cent in her own tariff duties. It was clearly re luctance to allow the country to get powerful enough to shake off her parasites, and gain that "sovereignty, inde|(endencc. territorial integrity I etc." which the powers declared they . wished for China. I The powers promised at the oon j ference to revise the Chinese customs | duties upward, ad the agency of a . i-onimission was provided for. But it j has been easy and plausible to blame .China herself that nothing has been {done. China, they say. should have a central government strong enough to make' itself respected—strong enough |to be dealt with, in short.
