At a special call meeting of the

the attention of the assembly to a
booklet recently published giving the
titles of worth while books that chil
dren enjoy and suggested that par
ents intending to purchase books for
Christmas presents for their children
consult the lit before making t'aeir
selection. This suggestion was espe
cially timely, since the grammar school
department has as its special project
the stimulation of interest in the bet
ter books and the providing of a li-,
brary that will raise the school to a
luglier rank among other schools of
the state.
For Lie entertainment feature of

tlie women worked to help others, she
said.
In the course of her address, she
sail that she believed that the men of

city she) knew of. She advised the
women to get the men to assist in the
organization of the welfare depart

AUTOAIOBILES IN CRASH
ON CHARLOTTE HIGHWAY
Dr. R. B. Rankin’s Car Badly Smash
ed and Children Receive Alinor In

As a result of an automobile acci
dent Which occurred on the Concord-
Charlotte highway Wednesday after
noon. Dr. R. B. Rankin and children.
Alhinie and Ellen, and Mary Frances
Bnrnhardt, daughter of Air. and Airs.
E. C. Barnhardl, Jr., were all slight

Car, a Hudson ecaeli, was badly dam
aged.
The other ear in the collision, driv
en by R. C. Bibberstein, of Char
lotte, was also damaged, but Mr. Bib
berstein was not injured.
The accident occurred about six
miles from Charlotte. According to
members of tlie party, a highway
truck and trailer was headed toward
Charlotte and was almost at. the point
of passing the Rankin ear which was
returning to Concord. Evidently Air.
Bibberstein tried to go round the
truck! because his ear suddenly ap
peared and skidded round directly in
front of them. *
On account of tlie slippery road it
was impossible to stop and Dr. Ran
kin tried to rim up on the bajik
which was on the side of the road. He
was partially successful but his car
also skidded and smashed into the
back of the other automobile which
had headed back toward Concord.
Nearly every window in the ‘Hud
son was broken and the children were
slightly cut by the flying pieces.
Alinnie Rankin is thought to hnve
broken her Tib in the crash.
Dr. Rankin drove his car on hack
to Concord after the accident./
“Satan in Sables” Deals Willi Man’s
Love For His Brother.
Does friendship between man and
man surpass in fineness, spirituality
and permanence love between man
and woman? This is one of the
questions of enduring interest to hu
manity that is raised in “Satan in
Sables.” the Warner Bros, classic of
the screen, opening today at the Con
cord Theatre and starring Lowell
Sherman.
In ancient Greece where the intel
lect held sway and was greatly gloried
in, philosophers looked upon love be
tween man and woman much as we
are apt to today—as the prime moti
vating force of the world. However,
they considered it something purely
physical something inevitable and
natural, t the decree of nature and
nothing particularly redounding to the
credit of either person.
Loves or friendships between men
were many, based upon similarity of
tastes, interests and intellects and
were held to be purely of the mind
and spirit. Several friendships of
this type which could have been
cnlled perfeet love by these ancient
philosophers, such as that of Damon
and Bythias, have existed in history.
In “Satnn in Sables,” this is the
kind of love that exists between the
brothers, Alichacl, played by Sher
man and Paul, as portrayed by John
Han-on. Paul, the younger, is the
one serious interest and love of Mi
chael’s prodigal life until Pauline Ga
ron, as Colette, the gamine sunbeam
of the Paris dance ha(ls, comes into
it. The theme of this Bradley King
story, directed by James Flood, is
the effect of these two loves in re
generating Aliehael's wasted life.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
An Occasional Column
By AIILE3 WOLFF
The enforcement of the VoLtead
Act seems to have beeomp strangely
paradoxical. Two recent eases in
this state support this statement.
Tlie first comes byway of press dis
patches in which a Federal Judge U
reported as having "flayed" officers for
the'r practice in inducing persons to
sell liquor in order that an arrest may
be made for violating the prohibition
laws. He went further than flaying
officers. On one day lie declared
that lie would, if tie were convinced
that such a proeeedurc had been pur
sued at any time in the future, dis
charge the defendant. Then on the
next day, lie did free certain prisoners
caught in such a fashion.
This iirst judge placed his stamp of
approval on underhand metlnds in
detect ng bootleggers.
A second judge presents a decided
contrast td the first. He states that
ho has found a remarkably effective
manner of dealing with those who
trade in liquors. (He admits that ho
is a terror to bootleggers!) His meth
od is this: When a man is appre
hended with “fire-water" on his per
son. he at once pops the maximum sen
tence to the culprit, making load sen
tence < a specialty.
Then after the sentence lias been
passed, the judge informs tin* crimi
nal that his punishment will be lift
ed if he will toll who sold him tlie
liquor. Ry way of clinching the argu
ment, the prisoner is sent to jail for
several days to think over the matter.
With nothing to do but think over the
dreary prospect ahead of him, the ac
cused one usually comes across with
the desired information.
When this is forthcoming, the
criminal is freed and is allowed to go
liis way untouched.
In the first ease, a jinlge condemn
ed officers for a practice which was
less offensive, to my way of thinking,
than the acts which the other judge
not only, condoned but even encourag
ed.
It is unfortunate that a man, the
guardian of the law. should stoop to
petty snooping in’ keeping with the*
conduct of third rate detectives.
It should never be a judge's place,
as I see it. to connive with criminals
i.n order to catch other criminals. If
I understand our country's govern
mental system, a judge is to try eases
and to pass sentence on them, not to
act as a spy. That is supposedly left
to other officials.
But there is another side to this
question. Tlie person caught with
liquor had vmlated the laws. Why
should ho be favored with a pardon
aim|ily because he is weak and despic
able enough to turn traitor on his
comrades? There should be honor,
even' among thieves. He has commit
ted a Crime and should be punished.
At tlie same time, a man of the"
type who would be turned loose on
the community afterward seems to be
a little more dangerous than the ones
incarcerated from his tattling. Since
liis freedom depends on not being
caught ,in crime, lie will take drastie
steps to prevent capture if he is sus
pected of committing a crime.
I think that more of our judges
would do well to follow the example
of the first judge, thereby bringing
about a wholesome respect for prohi
bition officers, which would go far
toward making the Volstead Act
enforcement real instead of its semi-en
foreement at present.
AVltile everyone Is engaged in the
very brain-racking but worthless oc
cupation of selecting All-State All-
Southern, All-American nnd All-What
Not football teams, I nave gene to the
trouble of getting up for Occasional
Column readers a backfield of All-
American women. If you have any
more famous, in the words of the in
spired writer, trot them out.
For the quarterback position, I
have chosen Dorothy Dix, who has
had many years giving advice anil
should prove versatile on the offense
and clever in diagnosing her oppon
ents plays on the defense. I consider
her one of the braincst women in the
game.
The two halfback positions go to
Susanna Cocroft and Annette Koller
rnau, chiefly on account of the excel
lent form they they have shown this
season. Both are slender, wiry, elus
ive and fast. They could show n good
pair of. heels to almost any opposing
linesman. Aliss Kellerman is especial
ly good on a’ mildly field while Susan
na has shown marked proficiency in
eluding beefy tacklers. The two would
make rare halfbacks.
At fullback position, Lydia E. Pink
hani lias been chosen, principally for
her flogged perseverance. For years
she has bceu an outstanding figure,
being mentioned consistently in the
papers and magazines of the country
for her enxcellenee. This endurance
would make her a valuable player in
a close game.
My first substitute on his team is
Madame Pavlowa, who has been select
ed to do the drop kicking when it
came to a pinch. Her educated toe
would be invaluable.
