Tiie King's Daughters of Concord, with the aid <>l .T, 11. Brown, county welfare officer. are busy now listing needy peeople of Concord who must Jiave aid unless their Christmas seea son is a blank and dreary one. Fol lowing the custom established several years ago. the work among the needy is to be done systematically so that the public shall not be imposed upon and so that no one who needs aid will fail to get it. Persons who have given to the “Op portunities’* in the past must have found the Yuletide a happier season • for the giving. Certainly those per sons who have delivered the various gift’s have been made joyous by their work for there were tears of joy. prayers for donors and many scenes of mingled sadness and happiness as the first touch of friendliness and hol iday spirit was taken into the abodes of persons who could not create a Christmas atmosphere for themselves. The “Opportunities” will be listed as they are taken and the gifts will be carried to thefh during Christmas week. Every needy ease should be cared for. for with the gifts those persons who are fortunate in health - and wealth can carry happiness and cheer to the unfortunate, bringing proof that there is good will on earth. One who knows the joy of Christ mas in a home of plenty finds -t hard to contemplate a Y'uletide that knows no Santa Claus; a Christmas eve with no packages to unwrap; a Christmas morning that is as bare of greetings as tiie other 364 days in the year. Yet in Concord there will he giftless homes and broken hearted children unless the “Opportunities” are adopted. At Christmas time, if at no other period of the year, we should remember the manger in Beth lehem and the Havior who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. AN ASSET IN ANY TOWN. . A wording to authoritative figures recently issued, the building atm "loan associations of the United States dur ing the last year experienced an un precedented growth. Total assets rose to over four and three-quarter j billion dollars, an increase of more than $800,000,000 over the previous year, indicating a growth of about 29 * per cent, in a single year. North Carolina believes in the building and loan associations in the State have experienced increased growth for a number of years. In the matter of bnilding and loan associa tions and money invested in them. North Carolina is one of the leaders in tin Smith. Take one ease for In ' stance: ' . North CprolUia, a Stale not twice as\biguts South Carolina, basu birihV ; ing V” 1 l<i»n maiibeifchjp ■ of f ßo,ooo. I With’ total, assets of $70,000,000, or more than four Hares as milch as South Carolina. North I Carolina’s t gain during the year was $12,000,000. |L; 'There is every reason to believe that a 1 the associations will enjoy greater , t prosperity each year. Take the growth this year over last year, for instance. Business wis hot booming during the year, certainly not in all parts of North i Carolina, yet we find a wholesome in ] crease in the amount of money inyest [ ed with the associations. The in- B crease is due to the fact that people - are learning more about the associa tions; also that more people ar<ylearn ing about them. Bnilding and loan associations are assets in any town, and especially so few very wealthy peeople here and it would be difficult to find a dozen in a town like Concord. There are ■ homes in Concord costing as much as ‘ $5,000 each that were not financed by some local building and loan associa ■ tiou. Citizens of Concord for the most part are people of average means and they find tiie associations very valua j bl? when they need money for build- I jng purposes. Quite a number of Con -1 cord people take stock in the associa * tions because such stock is a sound investment paying reegular dividends. i Any town with a good building and ■ loan association is blessed. Concord is thrice blessed for here are located I three of the best associations in the i State. i LIBERTY BELL WAS CAST THREE TIMES. The Pathfinder. Edmund Wooley undertook the job of hanging the Liberty Bell in Inde pendence Hall. Philadelphia, in 1753. For some unknown reason he took his pay in produce instead of cash, aml demanded it in advance. It is not known whether he was short of funds or whether he didn't care to trust the Province of Pennsylvania. Any way. the colony paid him in eatables more than two months before the bell was placed in the steeple. In those days potatoes were 66 cents a peck, cliese 12 cents a pound and beef eight cents a pound. The bill presented for hanging the most famous bell in history was a curious array of foods and prices. Besides the eatables a barrel of beer and three gallons of rum were paid. When the Liberty Bell was first cast and brought from England an accident ruined the quality of its tone. It was recast twice in this country. The work was done by Pass and Stow, of Philadelphia. First they broke up the big bell and found the metal brit • tie. Then they cast it into several little bells to try the sound and strength. Next they mixed an ounce and a half of copper to each pound of the old bell. This combination, how ever was unsatisfactory, so the amount of copper was reduced for the second casting. The bell was finally cast in ] .Tune. 1753. It was hung in the state house steeple during the last wok of that month. It weighed 2OSO pounds ■ and contained the motto: 'l’roc’.aim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof,—Ley. XXV. 10.” I There seems to be some difference of i opinion as to when the I.lb Tty Bell ]>ealed forth the news of the birth of a new nation. Many believe it was j on .Tuly 4. 1776. But that is an error: ■ it was on Monday. July Bth of that i year when the bell sang its song of i “liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof." Then for 49 succeeding fourths of .Inly the bell pealed out its memory of the signing of the nation's declaration. But then the casastrophe. While bong slowly tolled over the death of John Marshall. July 6. 1835. it cracked and has led a silent life ever since. It stil' hangs in the hallway of Independence hall as a historic relic. TODAY’S EVENTS Saturday.

Charity and Children, The' World’s W#rk for December given its readers in impressive and ■ luminous article,by Lawrence Veiller ‘ on “The Rising 'Tide of Crime," He tells ug what has been often said be fore that-America is the'lnost lawless nation on dearth. Eleven thousand | people were kiUled in crimes Os vio-' lence in 1924. In 1923 there were 42 murders committed in London and 262 in New York. The homicide rate'of the United States, says this writer, is double that of Itnly, the home of the Black Hand, the Ven detta and {he Mafia. It is eight times that of New Zealand, Ireland 1 or Spain and nine times (hat, of Eng- ; land and Wales. One of the most j di-couraging ami ominous owens in ( tlje great increase of crime in this 1 country is the vastly increased num ber of juvenile criminals. The se-j rious statement is made bj“ the New York state commisiOn of prisons, that I in the last five years nearly 10.000 Y boys under twenty-one years of age have been confined in the Tombs pris on charged with serious crimes. These conditions are not limited to N?w York, Chicago and other great cities. In the year 1923 in Memphis, a city of only 170.000, there were 113 homi cides. while in all England and Wales there were only 151. Various rea- , sons are given for this tremendous increase in crime. Lack of home ! training, dancing mothers, the movies) extravagant living, too much leisure ■ and failure to punish criminals, are among the causes suggested. Some say that this outbreak of crime is an after result of the war; that fine boys in the trenehes are hardened to blood shed. This will not do at all. The vast majority of the criminals were never.in the trent-lies. They were too young for military service. Be sides. the countries that suffered most from #he win- show a turn'll lower rate of criminality than the United States Which suffered least. Our homes are , not what they ought to be. Here is the sore spot in our American civili zation. One remedy suggested for this deplorable - situation is a law passed by the national Congress for bidding the manufacture and sale of pistols to any except soldiers in the army and officers of the law. State laws would he of little wort'll, but if ; the law were national like tlih prohi- , hit it n law, the criminals of the coun try would be disarmed. I'istols are poor protection, for a burglar lias all ihe advantage of the good man of the I house. The burglar is ill the dark | while the man of the house is in the light ; besides pistols are useless to the hunter and are fit only for shooting at clow- range. Something j must be done to check the rising tide of crime in our country. RIGHT TO CONFISCATE IJQUOR CARS DEBATED | Two Casas \V\)cre Autos Were Sold on Installment Flan Argued in • Supreme Court. Washington. Dec. 10. —The right of the government to confiscate auto mobiles used in the illegal trans portation. of intoxicating liquor, when title to the machines remains in companies selling them on the in stallment plan, was argued orally in I the Supreme court yesterday in tyro cases. In one of these, from Alabama, in volving an automobile claimed by the Garth Botor company, the machine was being purchased by Urton Munu and was being used by Ed L. Killian when seized. The lower court held that the government could not con demn and seize it. Other cases trora the Washington circuit court of appeals asked the Supreme court sos- instructions on the material questions of law raised. of the attention of the court Was directed to the practice of the department of justice under which till- government seeks a confiserftion of the' machine on grounds that it was being used in thV transportation of liquor upon which a tax has not been paid mid in violation of the in ternal revenue law. While the driver of the machine is subsequently taken into court charged with a violation of the prohibition law. The chief justice and various of his associates indicated by various of his associates idiented by their ques tions that they were in disagree ment with Assistant Attorney Gen eral Willebrandt in her contention (hut tin- policy she had been pursu ing in this respect was authorized by law and apparently took the view that when the person is prosecuted for illegal transportation finder the prohibition law the machine and the illicit liquor iAust also be disposed of in the one proceeding.

He -ent beside Doc, and together they drove to make the aged engine list :n to reason. Across the water came the throb >ing of a powerful motor and the wish of waves severe'd. neatly by a •harp bow. Sweetie caught Doc’s deeve. “Just a minute, there, feller,” she -.aid. There was a curious dull sound, , the revolver butt met his head. The big man raised his head and istened. Cautiously he used his ■ lashlight, as the sounds drew near r. Crossing their path was a big ( lack motor boat, long and flowing • if line. David sat up sharply, his . ands gripping the edge of the seat. . From the larger boat came a vorr.an’s voice, high and shrill with , error. - v i "McTish!” it soared desperately*, McTish!” David leaped to his feet in the bildly rocking float. ''McTish!” he roared across the ingry water. As he called the girl had sprung *p on the seat behind him. Her irm came swiftly dow’n; there was » curious dull sound, as the revolver uutt met- his head. Slowly and not ungracefully Mr. David Lacy crumpled .up in a heap Id the bottom of the boat. ; CHAPTER VIII H. C. Witwer J * In the same instant that the fear itriclcen Connemara screamed wild ly for McTish, with the prehensile Sngers of Mr. Pooch pawirtg at her throat, the utter absurdity of her nppeal struck her. The idea of the. little, flame-haired, candidly drunk Scotchman in the role of knight er .ant would have changed her shriek of fear to one of mirth—under other circumstances. Just now, however, Connemara’s sense of humor waSi conspicuous by its absence! A panicky terror gripped her, mingled with amazement. Where, was the : owner of the familiar voice that had - just echoed her frenzied scream “McTish!” across the water? Who was ? I ; Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter. i New York, Dec.

Bpinuerx takings for 1 the week were exteri-me’y heavy, amouutlag to 558,504 bales against ' ' \ ' - ''.’.Vjfl But Mr; Pooch gave Connemara no time for conjecture. This gen, tleman of the new school was all business! One hand almost encir. cling her -quivering' throat, h* clenched the and dreW it back ominously. J “Gimme that fifty grand or I’l| bump you off!” he yelled. “C’mon —make it snappy!" Connemara gulped and moved her neck painfully in Mr. Pooch’s iron grasp. With frantic glances sh? signaled her captor that speech wai practically’ an impossible feat under his restraining influence. Slowly and cafttibusly Mr. Pooch relaxed | his gTip, like a fisherman playing hi* j victim by tlje feel of the reel. Con | nemara gingerly rubbed her aching ; neck and glared at him indignantly, “You are frightfully rude!” sh« I gaid haughtily. “And I do not de< ! -ire your company further. Put m» i ishore at once!” For a moment Mr. Pooch eyed her almost incredulously. He ajttl a!ly looked abashed and retreated 4 | -tep, and Connemara had a wild hope that her suddent assumption of an imperious manner might b« effective where her shrinking feat had failed. At leaist it might allow her to temporize with her assailant She continued to regard him fixedly* in a desperate imitation of icy at^ger, hut Mr. Pooch quickly dashedt het bried optimism. “Put you ashore, hey?” he chuck led sneeringlj* again advancing to waidl her. “Where d’ye get tha) stuff? As long as y’ don’t ’predate me askin’ for that sugar in a nics way, I'm gonna take it off ya’!” A lurch of the yacht enabled Con. nemara partly to evade his vicious unge at her arm, and as she spranf away there was a sound of rippinj cloth; Mr. Pooch sprawled back perilously close to the low rail* , mouthing strange oaths arid tightly . clutching one sleeve of her bedragt glcd nun’s robe. Connemara stared wildly up fit the bridge, where shf now, to her amazement, discerned McTish, white cap cocked rakishly over one eye, calmly surveying the ' scene below with the detached air of a spectator at a particularly bor ing performance. He might have been a hod carrier at a Greek dra ma; or Noah viewing Niagara Falls. And not many moments before she had the red-headed Mr. Mc- Tish most thoroughly slammed and padlocked In the forecastle. Mt, Pooch regarded the MecVe in his hand with a baleful eye, hurled il overboard, and grimly resumed the atthek. “Help’, Help!” wailed Connemara, ducking and dodging the grunting Pooch in the narrow space of the cock-pit. The waves swishing cal lously against the yacht’s sides seemed to mock her. “Where d’ye think y’are, kid—in | Times Square?" chuckled Mr. ' Pooch, edging her relentlessly into a \ corner. .“Go on, squawk yer head "off and see if I-earel The only ones , which can is me and th» fishes!” Connemara felt like adding bitter ly, “And that poor fish up on th* bridge!" as she stared scornfully al the seemingly unperturbed and still watching McTish. But she? saved her breath and concentrated all her efforts in avoiding the rushes of th* determined Mr, Pooch. • Withir. the space of the next fiv* minutes, Connemara’s eostume had j been ripped .and torn to fluttering ' ribbons by his hungry hands. Dark ly purpling bruises were appearing on her naked arms and shoulders, but the constant rolling of the yacht and her dexterous squirming and clawing at Mr. Pooch’s curious- ly working face enabled her to break •way time and again from his em brace. The sight of her bared love liness had swiftly brought a desire in no way connected with the fifty thousand dollars into the glittering' slits that were Mr. Pooch’s eyes, and Connemara’s pulses leaped mad ly with a new and numbling fear, f At last, with Pocjch so close to her that his panting breath beat on her face and his groping hands wer* within an inch of her throat, Conne mara wrenched away, sprang th th* rail, and gasped over her shoulder: “If you touch me—l—l’ll jump Overboard—l mean it I” / To her surprise, Mr. Pooch fell tjack a step. “Can you swim?” he inquired, al most casually. • “Yes—very well indeed!” panted Connemara, on the verge of hysteria from this sudden application of the brakes to the heroics of a moment 1 I before.
