LET HIS INFLUENCE BE FELT. It has been suggested that the League of Nations make arrange ments for a world disarmament con ference to which all of the principal nations would be asked to send rep resentatives. It is proposed to make the conference similar in many re spects to the arms conference held in Washington several years ago. Talk of such a conference naturally leads the world to ask w hat action the United States would take if ex tended an invitation to be represent ed at the gathering. Os course, such an invitation would be extended this country owing to the fact that it is now the most powerful nation of the world. President Coolidge has been asked about his attitude in the matter and he says he has nothing to do with it until Congress meets. The President Jet it bo known that he is unwilling to aeeept or reject an invitation to the conference until he gets the viewpoint of Congress. In other words he would not want to aeeept the invita tion and then have Congress disagree with his decision. The Chief Executive always has been a great talker for peace and in this instance |te has a chance to shew to what” effort he will go to bring about conditions calculated to aid in world peace. Congress might not want to have anything to do with a propo sition supported by the League of Na tions but we believe Mr. Coolidge and his administration leaders can change the mind of Congress if they want to and if they arc willUag to make a fight on the point. The next Con gress is going to be overwhelmingly Rcpublican and certainly the Presi dent should be influential enough with his pwn party to get enaeted such legislation as be thinks is for the best interest of the country. If the President is not able to con trol this Congress wbat will he be able to do after the next Congressional elec ; tioa‘ When the Democrats regain some ( seats they lost last year? It is eon -eeded by almost everyone that the Re publican majority in Congress will be m, after the next election and if . P^freiwdeut Coolidge can’t get across 1 f Jnow those measures which he si>ou- i pgwa how can he hope to do anything Ifater? And if the President is not Rpvrfui enough to control a Cou- j Hgpft dominated by members of his men party, bow does be hope to ac ■Hpptteii anything? | IMMIGRATION.

Countries that failed to fill their quotas were Caeeboeiovakia, which fell short by 17 per cent., Great Britain, by 12 per cent; Germany, ’ by tl per cent.; Irish Free State by 5 per cent; Italy by 10 per cent.; Sweden by 6 per cent. ’ These figures do not as ; many opponents of tbe immigration | taw would have us believe, that for eigners are so bitter against the law. Why raise the ratio when many of the nations .do not send all now that could be admitted? Less foreigners, certainly less of the undesirable class, are coining in yearly now and it is good that it is so. AN EVIDENCE OF OUR GROWTH One need only to ride over the two, Carolinas to see the great advance ment they have made in ten years. Many signs of prosperity are seen in the two States and while North Car olina has moved forward at a faster rate, the sister State to the South has not- been idle. Another evidence of the growth is j seen in figures covering the manufac tured output of the State. In 1900 North Carolina's manufactured prod-1 uets were valued at $85,274.083; in j 1910 they were valued at $216,656,055, and in 1923 they had increased to $951,910,599. During the past 13 years the value of South Carolina's manufactured products has increased from $13,235,- 945 to $360,446,7^7. Clothes and Cigars. New York Mirror. Millions will learn with interest that the five-cent cigar is coming back jit its old glory. The five-cent cigar “fit to smoke” disappeared with the com ing of the war. So say the fastidious, although Toboeco is tobacco. The despised cigarette, once forbid den in many v States, came into its own. In fact, you could hardly be a heroic soldier in movies if you didn't have a e : garette to help you. Now the cigarette may have to struggle for its high place. There is a great deal more smoke in a big five eent cigar' than in five cents worth of cigarettes. People may have to change their fashions in clothes as well as in to bacco. A learned medical' journal of! Munich informs the world Rift wom eij, -since djfcey have.«dt; tfiVir- elitth ing down to little or nothing, low neck, sho|t sleeves, high. Skirts, are- much' healthier than men because the AIR GETS TO THEIR BODIES and! gives the billions of cells a chance to get their share of oxygen. Knee-length trousers, allowing the air to blow through, no waistcoats, no collars, or cravats, underwear and 1 outerwear as light as possible. That’s the program recommended for men. But it won’t be adopted. To suc ceed in business a man must look sol emn. He cannot look solemn in low neck and short trousers. Crepe Myrtle. Stanly News-Herald. Editor Atkins, of the Gastonia Ga zette. certainly is a consistent crepe myrtle booster. He has been talking planting crepe myrtle in Gastonia for more than a year. He says there has been much planted, but there ought to be more. After giving that beauti ful shrub a boost, he quotes the Nor folk Ledger-Dispatch as follows: "If it is found necessary for the gen eral good of the tree family to re move -these trees we do not think the city can do better than to plant the crepe myrtle. Although it stands without foliage or bloom for a con siderable jmrtion of the year, it makes up for all the time lost when it does get busy. It might be well to bear in mind in tin- planting of this glorified shrub to intersperse the pink and w hite, locating tbe different shades near enough together to bring out the beautiful contrast. We hope some day it may be soon—to see Norfolk so aglow with these beautiful hues as to warrant being known far and wide as the “Crepe Myrtle City." Albemarle is getting quite a crepe myrtle fever, and here's Imping -that this fall and winter will see more planted here than ever before. Condemns Ice Drinks. John Joseph Gaines, M. I)., writing on health, condemns the use of ice drinks. He intimates that many such -troubles as appendicitis are attribut able to tile immoderate use of ice drinks. "What frozen air is to tbe breathing apparatus,” he says, “cold dTinks are to the lining of the digest ive tract.” Continuing, Dr. Gaines says: The walls of the stomach are chill ed to a point far below normal, stop ping healthy secretion at once. This weakens the delicate glands until bac teria find easy access. Snow and ice should never be swallowed by a heal thy individual, no matter how pure they are. It is cold that does the mis chief. Surgeons know that a large per cent, of the appendicitis opera tions are on ice-water and ice-tea habitues, and that also, there are about five times as many cases in hot as in cold weather. The logical ad vice is, never driug ice-cold fluids habitually. Never expose the breath ping organs to extremely cold air for 1 prolonged periods. Proper observance j of these precautions may save a life. 1 Offers Reward for American Airmen. . Owezzan, French Morocco.

Inc. s THE STORY THUS FAR In his quest far gold Pierce PhU ’ jpr u drawn to the newly discovered ' j fold fields of the Yukon. Having in -1 efficient money to be admitted by he Canadian government, he hires Hmself out packing provisions over Ihilkoot Pass. A chance acquaintance with At \lcCaskey brothers is passed up at a nere incident on the trail. ’Poleon Doret, French-Canadian giant, and le are the strongest met: on the Pass. Phillips assists an elderly prospector, Tom Lint-in, and is asked to share Iris tent at Linderman. Arriving there they find it occupied by a beau tiful Norsewoman, who tells then: - her name is Countess Courttau. She 1 rhares their tent that night and then Phillips helps her back to Dyea. At , Sheep Camp Phillips again meets the I McCaskey brothers and while in their i tent they all are arrested tender ms , Picion of stealing provisions, and brought to a trial at a miner’s-meet ing. CHAPTER IV The story of the first trial at Sheep Camp is an old one, but it differs with every telling. In the hectic hurry of that gold-rush many inci dents were soon forgotten and such salient facts as did survive were deeply colored, for those were color ful days. The meeting was quickly organ ized along formal lines and a com mittee of three was appointed to conduct the hearing. The chairman of this committee—he constituted himself chairman by virtue of the fact that he was first nominated — made a ringing speech in which he praised his honesty, his fairness, and his knowledge of the lav/. He com plimented the miners for their acu T men in selecting for such a position of responsibility a man of his dis tinguished qualifications. It was plain that he believed they had chosen wisely. Then, having in quired the names of his two com mitteemen, he likewise commended them in glowing terms, although of . course he could not praise them quite as unstintedly as he had praised j himself. Still, he spoke well of j them and concluded by stating that i so long as affairs were left in his hands justice would be safeguarded and the rights of this miserable, cringing trio of thieves would be protected, albeit killing, in his judg ment, was too mild a punishment for people of their caKber. “Hear! Hear!" yelled the mob. Pierce Phillips listened to this speech with a keenly personal and yet a peculiarly detached interest. The situation struck him as unreal, grotesque, and the whole procedure as futile. Under other circumstances it would have been grimly amusing; novr he was uncomfortably aware that it was anything but that. There was no law whatever in the land save the will of these men; in their hands lay Hfe or death, exoneration or in famy. He searched the faces round about hHn, but could find signs neither of friendship nor of sym pathy This done, he looked every where for a glimpse of a woman’s straw-colored hair and was relieved to discover that the Countess Cour teau was riot in the audience. Doubtless she had left for Dyea and was already some distance down the trail. He breathed easier, for he did Bot wish her to witness his humilia tion, and her presence would have merely added to his embarrassment. The prosecution’s case was quick ly made, and it was a strong one. Even yet the damning trickle of rice grains could be traced through the moss and mire directly to the door of the prisoners’ tent, and the origi nal package, identified positively by its owner, was put in evidence. This in itself was enough; testimony from the other men who had likewise re covered merchandise they had missed and mourned merely strength ened the case and further inflamed the minds of the citizens. When it came rime to hear the de fense, the McCaskeys stared at Pierce coolly; therefore he climbed to the tent platform and faced his accusers. He made known his name, his birthplace, the ship which had borne him north. He toW how he had landed at Dyea, how he had lost his' last dollar at the gamhlmg-table, how he had appealed to the McClaskey boys, and how they had given him ' shelter. That chance association, he took pains to explain, had continued, but had never ripened into anything more, anything closer; it was in no wise a partnership; he had nothing to do with them and they had noth . mg to do with him. Inasmuch a9 the rice had been stolen during the • previous night, he argued that he ■ could have had no hand m the theft, for he had spent the night in Lm derman, which fact he offered to ■ two witnesses. Troduce them,” ordered the chair , man. * "One of diem is still at Lmderman, ! the other was here in Sheep Camp ! hour ago.

I met four kings last night,” yelled another. 1 “Call the Marquis of Queene berrv,” shouted still a third. 1 “Countess Courteau 1” repeated the chairman, using his hands for a i megaphone. The cry was taken up by other throats. “Countess Courteau! Countess Courteau!" they mocked. “Come, Countess! Nice Countess I Pretty Countess!” There was a ribald note to this mockery which caused Phillips’ eyes to glow. “She and the count have just left the palace. Let’s get along with the hangin’,” one shrill voice demanded. “You won’t hang mel” Phillips retorted, angrily. “Be not so sure," taunted the act ing judge. “Inasmuch as your countess appears to be constituted or that thin fabric of which dreams are made; inasmuch as there is no such animal—” "Hoi* up I” came a peremptory challenge. “M’sieu Jodge P’ "Hoi’ up L” came a peremptory challenge. “M'sicu Jodge!” It was the big French Canadian whom Pierce had met on the crest of the divide; he came xorwtrd now, push ing his resistless way through the audience. “Wat for you say dere ain’t nobody by dat native, eh?” He turned his back to the committee and addressed the meeting. "Wat for you hack lak dis, anyhowßy gosh 1 I heard ’bout dis lady! She’s ol’- timer lak me." “Well, trot her out I Where is she?” t "She’s an her way to Dyea,” : Pierce insisted. “She can’t be far—” ’Poleon Doret was angry. “.I don’ listen to no woman be joke ’bout, you hear? Dis hoy spik true. He was in Linderman las’ night, for I seen him on top of Chilkoot yester day royse’f, wit' pack on his back so beeg as a bam.” “Do you know the accused?” quer ied the spokesman. ‘Poleon turned with a shrug. “Nan! No! But—yes, I know him li'l bit. Anybody can tell he’s hones’ boy. By Gar! She’s strong feller, too—pack lak hell!" 1 Pierce Phillips was grateful foi this evidence of faith, inconclusive as it was in point of law. He was sorry, therefore, to see the French man, after replying shortly, impa tiently. to several senseloss cross questions, force his way out of the crowd 'and disappear, shaking his head and muttering in manifest dis- ( gust at the temper of his townsmen But although one friend had gone, ■ another took his place—a champion, j by the way, whom Pierce would never have suspected of being such. Profiting by the break in the pro ceedings, Lucky Broad spoke up. “Frenchy was right—this kid's on the square,” he declared. “I’m the gentleman who gathered his wheat at Dyea—he fairly fed it to me, like he said—so I guess I’m acquainted with him. We’re all assembled up to mete out justice, and justice is going to be met, but, say 1 a sucker like this boy wouldn t know enough to steal!" It was doubtful if this witness, well-intentioned ar he was, carried conviction, for, although his follow ers took their cue from him and ap plauded loudly, their very manifesta tions of faith aroused suspicion among the honest men present. One of the Utter, a red-faced, 1 square-shouldered person, thrust a determined countenance close to Broad’s add cried, aherilr; "I* that so? Well, I’m for hangin’ anybody you boost 1” This sentiment met with wl. in stantaneous, second that the confi dence-man withdrew , nreanstatoW j r?!i’ re i V b V nch ' °f boobs, mtigwr Mu r a mice game, and the | *” y ‘ h »‘ •b° l, * rs loudest for it, is j remflwM WflpFcouM be j (To be j •'.
