the nnwieldly arrangement. How far
removed from That mode is the present
bob?
Helene Oostello, a Warner Bros,
screen player, is shown wearing the
hair-dress tlgit was nniversarry the
favorite from about 1850 to 1890.
There is approximately three and a
quarter pounds of hair gathered at
the base of her head.
The next step iu the unconscious
Tight against the discomforts of that
unwieldly, awkward mode is demcai
strated by the coiffeur worn by another
Warner actress, Dolores Costello,
whose hair is arranged in the style
that was popalar from a bout-,1000 to
1012. It was getting perceptibly
shorter, had lout the severe dignity of
the earlier coiffeur and was frizzled
and curled unmercifully.
Patsy Ruth Miller shows still a
further advance. Her hair is piled
higher on her head, closer to the ears
and altogether gives the head a small
er. trimmer look. This style of hair
dress was worn, in variations, between
1912 and 1018.
101 S brought with it the war! And
the World War brought with it—
long may the cheers ring—bobbed
hair!
Prom the much beeurled and befriz
zled bob that converted many into sis
ters of the Fiji Islanders, arose the
graceful, simple bob that is worn by
! Marie Prevost. It is a form of the
I straight, Dutch bob, with just a sug
gestion of a wave and is universally
flattering. This bob continues in pop
ularity. but is threatened by the latest
victory of the steadily encroaching
“shortness.’’
This newest development is the
“boyish bob” which does not deviate
| ica will not be accomplished yet
[ awhile. But in the end unton is
I bound to come. Forces at work for
it are too powerful not to succeed
in the long run. The Western North
Carolina conference has .taken its
stand on the side that is destined
ultimately to win out. The day is
sure to come when Methodism will
know no North and no South, but
will be cue great denomination work
ing as a compact and efficient organi
zation throughout the nation.
I Bible Readers’ Guide.
When blue, read Psalm 34.
When doubtful, -try John 7:IV.
When in sorrow, read John 17.
(When forgetful, read Psalm 103.
When discouraged, read Isiah 40.
When men fail you, read Psalm 27. |
' by a hairline from the man’s haircut.
Dorothy Devore, a Warner Bros, play
er, shows how extreme this l.rjo
mode is. The hair is brushed off the
ears and combed straight-back, with
nary a tiny curl or a wayward wave.
That is what 1920 brings in hair
fashions for women, and leaves many
in a double mind as to their choice
between the bob that Miss Prevost
wears and the way that Miss Devore
wears her hair.
Apropos of the simple, charming
bob that Miss Prevost years in pri
vate life, that very same bob also fur
nishes the ipvot theme of her latest
vehicle, “Bobbed Hair.” which War
ner Bros, have adapted from a popular
novel.
To bob or not to bob is the great
question that stares Marie Prevost in
the face and pursues her with night
mares. because that fascinating little
minx realizes —remember this takes
place in “Bobbed Hair” and is not a
secret of the film star’s life—that on
the click of the shears rests her decis
ion between two suitors.
One suitor. John Roche, wishes Miss
Prevost’s hair to remain long, while
the other. Reed Howes, is determined
that his future wife will be bobbed.
One can easily imagine the grave
nature of such a problem. To bob or
not to bob! It made all their lives
miserable, untill Miss Prevost gets
caught in a series of irresistibly funny
adventures and finds that the question
settles itself.
One can only conclude, observing
the different steps in the evolution of
the hair-dress, as shown by these
Warner Bros, stars, that what the en
suing years will bring remains a mat
ter of conjecture, but that bobbed hair
is here to stay.
When you have sinned, read Psalm
Cl.
When worried, read Matthew C :19-
34.
When lonely or fearful, read Psalm
23.
When you want courage, read
Joshua. 1
When you grow bitter Or critical,
read 1 Corinthians 13.
When you leave home for labor or
travel, read Psalm 121.

Press Has Right to Unpaid-For Opin
ion.
Raleigh Times.
A. L. Brooks, of Greensboro and
also of counsel for the defendant ob
jects to newspaper criticism of the
verdict in the Cole ease which he
says., was correct. Air. Brooks could
hardly say anything else, without stul
tifying h'mself. He says that the edi
tors themselves would be the first to
howl if it were proposed to abolish
the jury system.
Admitted, Mr.. Brooks. The jury
system is the best means the present
civilization has bit upon for admin
istering justice. The peojile and their
press would much prefer a jury to
leaving all questions to the ’awyers
and judges. But few expect perfec
tion from a jury. Perfection cannot
be obtained even from those versed in
the law and sworn to thei service of
the blind goddess.
Mr. Brooks acquitted himself in the
Cole case so as to add to his reputa
tion and earn his wages. The jury ac
cepted his view of case rather than
that of the press. AVe think he ought
to let the matter.rest where it is. Any
how, he should not object to the ex
pression of unpaid-for opinion by
those whose duty it is occasionally to
analyze the argument of counsel or
even the verdicts of the jury.
At least none of the editors has
been hired to take any given view of
the verdict.
Methodists Move Toward Unity.
Raleigh' Times.
The Western North Carolina Con
ference of the M. E. Church. South,
one of the stronge-t units in South
ern Methodism, has by a 2-to-l vote
declared for the union of the North
ern and Southern branches of the great
body of American Methodists.
North Carolina Methodism, like the
rest of North Carolina, lias been slow
to reach the point at which it is will
ing to change. The split was a sec
tional one purely aud there now ex
ists no reason save that of geography
why the two organizations should re
main apart. tin the other hand.
Methodism is doing pretty well as it
is, and many of the Southerns are dis
posed to let well enough alone.
It is Methodist business, and yet
■ there is widespread interest in the re
sult outside of the fold. It will be
hailed by Americans who are strong
on unity, if more or less weak on
church ties, as a victory for Ameri
canism. It is possible, even probable,
that it will do away with some over
lapping. effect considerable economy,
especially in sections where it is dif
ficult to support one church as it
should bo supported, and provide
greater impetus for missionary work
in foreign fields.
But even were its practical effeet
negligible, unification could hardly
work any harm, and is well worth try
ing.
“When Everybody Goes a-Prayin’.”
Monroe Enquirer.
Germany, when she began the
World War said “Gott itiit uns.”
She got licked.
The Allies fought the Huns for
God and '.nimanity.
They believe they won.
W. B. Cole asked God if he should
kill W. W. Ormond.
Ormond was killed.
Ormond’s family prayed that his
slayer might be punished.
Their prayer was unanswered.
The jury prayed for divine guidance
in their decision.
The slayer goes unpunished.
It has been my observation tfiat
when everybody goes a-praying and
dealing in mushy sentimentality the
defendant always goes scott free.
Yes, Air. Cole had a lot of smart
lawyers—and a praying jury.
But let’s see. Is Mr. Cole free?
AVilll he not be haunted by the
ghost of the mail he has slain ever
by his side?
And that presence nearer and more
obiquitously persistent as the years
come and go?
Will Mr. Cole not see Bill Ormond
at every turn?
Will his sleep be\undisturbed even
if he did kill the young man?
If not, then W. B. Cole did not
murder Bill Ormond.
Flappers and Matrons Crowd Court
Room at Wiles’ Trial.
Durham County Progress.
During the course of the trial of
Robert Wiles, Columbia, 8. C., man
who has been on trial for his life in
Durham superior court this week for
the murder of Ralph B. Gordon, also,
of Columbia, scores of mature women
and girla have been among the crowds
of spectators filling the court room.
Giggling flapper* whose jaw* work
ed spasmodically as they chewed gum
and whose brilliantly painted cheeks
and carmined' lips stood out in bold
relief in the crowded court room, min
glad with staid old ladies, all intent
on bearing each and) every woi*d of the
testimony and the argument.
Probably never before have so many
members of Durham’s female popula
tion attended a murder trial as has
been the ease in this instance.
. Men and Women .vsrt> the
I ,J> COLECASfe.
Monroe Journal. " , , .
The general divwion of fteruiment
in the Cole ease between men and
women seems to be so marked that
some speculation become? interest
!‘ B %very where you hear , the state
ment, 'The men are for Cole,, and the
.women against him/' Amd outaide,
lof thoee who have some degree of!
personal interest in one side or the j
other, this sems to be the general
line of cleavage, with exceptions, of l
course.
Why are the women again*r Mr.;
Cole? Why are the men for him?!
Cutting out all subterfuge and make 1
believe, it is for this fundamental |
reason :
Neither one is trying W. B. Cole.
He is only the pawn in the game.'
The, men are trying Bill Ormond and I
the women are trying Elizabeth 1
Cole.
It's a poor judge of human nature
who thinks that whether Cole fired
from the back or front of Ormond,
or whether Ormond had a pistol or
, not. makes any difference in the in- j
formation of public opinion. So much
has been kept away from the jury
that the e questions may have some
Weight wth the jurors, but they
have non with the public. The man
who points them out as the basis
for his opinion is doing so only to
justify tin opinion far more deep
seated-
This ease presents all the intriea-
I eies of the most subtile and oblique
emotions which lie deep in the
human heart. For the same reason
’ that women are harder on the erring
sister than men are, the women in
this case are against Cole and the
men are for him.
Feminine emotions have run to
' the conclusion that Elizabeth Cole
had gone beyond the dead line in
' her relations with Ormond. Their
1 feeling in the case arises entirely
out of this. They think she deceived
her father and they feel, though they
may not feel it consciously, that she
must be branded. But there is x no
way to reach her. Therefore they
■ would punish the father, partly for
allowing himself to be deceived,
partly because they cannot punish i
i her. Why would they punish her? If
: one would find an answer to this
question let him consult the
■ psychologists.
Now, we would not be silly enough
i or unjust to say that any woman
who feels this yvay is conscious of
the source yvhence the feeling
i springs, or is yen conscious of the
feling. for she is not. She thinks
she is against Mr. Cole because he
committed murder, but she is not.
Had there been no alleged in
timacies betwen Ormond and Miss
Cole, the sympathies of yvomen
would have run toward* Cole, not
against him, for then they would
have seen a man suffering and a
family -offering. Now they do not
see that at all. Thy see a woman
gone wrong and a man on trial for
defending her.
Why are the men in sympathy
with Cole? Because they see him,
not as a man who shot from the
■ back, but as ihe man who shoots
' down a Judas Iscariot. There rums a
little rhyme about the man who
kisses aad tells. They see Ormond
- as a man who egregiously lied about
a young woman or one who accepted
• the deeiiest confidences of her life
and betrayed them. And to man
nature, the latter is wdrse than the
first. Therefore, the attitude of the
■ men arises out of the fact that they
: are passing sentence upon Ormond,
i uot Cole. They are as unconscious,
■ almost, of their motives, as the wom
, en are oftheire. But male mentality
■ is more simple than female, and
, lienee there is not so much of the
round about emotions in this case.
Os course, in this ahalysi-% there
. is nothing personal to any man or
woman, and othing derogatory to
either sex. It is just a statement of
the way our feelings seem to control
us. It is the way that we are built
. and nothing can change us. Os
course we all go through the pro
een of analyzing evidence! and
pointing out this and that fact, but
when the who!e thing is washed
, out we come to primary instincts
without knowing why we do so.
Income Tax Sidelights.
The Pathfinder.
President Coolidge has not taken ad
vantage of the provision in the present
tax law which entitles him to collect
frera the government most of the $14,-
000 income tax which he paid on last
year’s salary. His $75,000 a year is
now exempt from assessment. The
supreme court several months ago held
that the constitution prevented the
salary of the executive and federal
judges from being diminished in any
manner while they are in office. The
presidents, vice-presidents and the fed
eral judges had been paying income
taxes since 1919. Therefore, tech
nically, Mr. Coolidge can recover mon
ey paid out in past income taxes.
Pleading guilty to making a fraud
ulent income tax return, C. J. Castle,
a Cleveland real estate operator, was
fined $20,000 in that city and, in ad
dition, was sentenced to two years in
the workhouse.
Bootleggers, knowing that their in
come tax returns are regarded by the
government as private and cannot be
used against them, are claiming some
strange exemptions. A certain New
York man asked for deduction of
losses met through the activities of
“hijackers,” thieves who prey on boot
legger*. In that city “honest bootleg
gers” paid $1,000,000 to the govern
ment in taxes.
The board of tax appeals support
a previous ruling by the internal rev
enue bureau that M. L. Heide, of New
. York, ia not entitled to deduct $2700
for card game losses. Heide proved
> to be a poor bridge player.
A negro minister discovered two
i men playing cards on Sunday — and
■ for money.
I "Rastus,” said the minister, “don’t
• you know it’s wrong to play cards on
t the Sabbath r
; parson,” answered Rastua,
ruefully, “But, believe me, ah’a payin'
i fob mah sins.”

the four big motor cars. If you halt now for a moment; if you weaken for a
single day; or if you overtook one opportunity to better your chances to
win, you are taking the desperate hazard as losing the big prizes which are s
now within your grasp and which really belong to you, if you but hustle.
DON’T LET UP NOW -
THIS “Second Period” IS VITAL
This “Second Period” gives time enough for anyone to make victory a
certainty. Get started Wednesday morning, keep going and finish the big
gest campaign ever inaugurated in Cabarrus County, with a finish that will do
you justice and make you prosperous and happy.
