ANOTHER COURT DISTRICT PROPOSED. 'f A Major Bulwinkle wants another Federal court district in North Caro lina and he has introduced a bill in Congress to create such a district. The district, which would be created out of counties in the middle section of the State and known as the middle district, is pract ; cally the same as proposed by Senator Overman and put through the Senate near the close of the fast session of the Congress. The House failed to approve of the propos al. al. The counties. 211 in number, em . braced in the proposed district, are:- *. Allknauce. Alleghany. Ashe. Cabai * rua.'i'aswell. Chatham. Davidson. I>a* - vie, Durham. Forsyth. Guilford, Gran ' ville. Hoke. Lee. Montgomery. Moore, - Orange, Person. Randolph. Richmond. Rockingham. Rowan, Scotland. Stan ly. Stokes. Surry, Watauga, Wilkes - and Yadkin. This would leave 42 ' counties in the eastern district, over .which Judge Meek ins presides, and 28 in the district over which Judge Webb presides. The Republicans are not expected to fight the proposal although it is suggested by a Democrat. District Attorney Linney’s county—Watauga W —is placed in the new district but that would not make any difference The district attorney could get a job .in the new district or he might even be made judge of the district. There ' wifi be more jobs for Republicans if the district is created. w ; "Congested. dockets is the chief roa soiiTgiven by Major Bulwinkle for the ‘ creation of the district. It is impos sible. he contends, for all cases to be under present conditions and with the number of liquor violation cases increasing rapidly. WHO IS THE MORE POWERFUL? The Senate started at last on th& proposal for the United States to be come a part of the World Court. Af ;T ter a delay of three years, during fs which time there were many insistent urgings from the White House that V HW&ething be done, the Senate has started debate of the question. t<eems fittingly correct that a Tnt. should start the arguments ble to the/proposal for 'the party sen the leader in the fight for rau participation in internat movements looking to pence. >r Swanson, of Virginia, led off r proponents, urging immediate that would give the United its rightful place' at the Ueud \ nations who want definite uc utlawing war. liter Borah is the one man who efeat the resolution, and Ptesi ’nolidge is the man who can de- Wimt aim. Tlic in;the’ Senate ' Witt determine who is the more power- H iul; If Senator Borah is able to de* feat the proposal he um.v be expected fe to W'»id force throughout the present Hjt session of Congress. If he can line up pMtough opposition to defeat this tueas ilCi' , W ..-f... are, in the face of administration ap proval, then be undoubtedly will' be able to muster the same strength on other administration plans that he may oppose. President Cooiidge, by reason of his I office, is supposed to be the lender of the Republican party in the United States. Whether he can swing the in surgents and the “middle grounders” to his standards remains to be seen. Democrats in the Senate want the League of Nations but they want peace above all things. That’s the reason they are willing to support the' reso lution proposing American entrance in the affairs of the court. They are not determined to defeat the resolution because it was first drawn by a Re publican and because it has the ap proval of two Republican Presidents. Theirs is the attitude of mA» who are interested n humanity above party. The tSHgue of Nations would* be functioning with the approval of the United States if Woodrow been a Republican. He was a Dem ocrat, so Republicans, headed by Sen ator Lodge, opposed him and his league plans. While visiting in Concord recently, Fred Kent, Governor of the 38th dis trict of Rotary International, com mended local Rotarians for the gener ous manner in which they are supply ing ready money for young men of this city and county wlm want cash so they can attend college. Governor Kent told the Concord Rotarians that they are doing much better in this re spect than many of tbe larger clubs in the State, adding that he knew of no finer work. It is said that the Con cord Rotary club is furnishing $2500 annually for young men who want a college education but haven't the cash. EPXECTING GLORIA SWANSON AT CHIMNEY ROCK MoVfe Actress and Party to Film Scenario There Early in Year. Chimney Rock. Dec. 17.—Gloria ' Swanson and a party of fifty other movie actors .ml camera men are ex pected here about January, Ist to film a de luxe scenario for the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation of Now York. Their advance agents have been scouting the mountain regions of all America but it was not until they explored the scenic mountains and lakes around here that the natural scenery they wanted was found. The advance agent immediately leased one of the closed summer hotels, the Es meralda. and arranged for it to open for his company. The advance mail said that in addition to the mountain scenery he would want one act filmed near where 200 men are now engaged upon construction of the 104 tall dam which will create Lake Lure with a shore line of 27 miles next year. The Passing of the Slump. High Point Enterprise. During the past two years or for a somewhat l.mger time, there has been little expansion of the cotton manufacturing industry in this por tion of the South. Perhaps there has been little anywhere. The de mand for cotton goods has been list less, manufacturers have been put to it to keep their organizations together without loss in many cases. The great profits of the war time anfi the period right after peace was made have not been pouring in. The sudden cessation o? factory building and factory enlargement struck a blow at the high hopes of the natives that North Carolina soon would be first, instead of second cot ton manufacturing state in the na tion. Fortunately prosperity attend ed other industrial efforts even when the cotton manufacturer was merely getting along and the region as a whole suffered to no great extent. But the tide seems to have turned once more in favor of the textile interests and in addition to the market news of a better demand for goods, there is the beginning once more of stories of construction plans. The news that the Cannons are to build another two million dollar/fac tory at Kannapolis is one of several recent stories of new enterprise in the industry. The Eight Months School Term. Kinston Free Press. Governor McLean is not ready to commit himself on the question of the proposed eight months' school term. He gives assurance, however, that he favors the educational advancement of the state, butt must study the tax phase and the ability of the people to pay more. Os course those ques tions must be considered very care fully. The time has come in North Carolina, however. The Free Press believes, when the people should awake to Pile fact that they can’t afford not to educate their children and give them the best advantages obtainable. Counting the cost of illiteracy should always be weighed against the cost if education, when additional oppor tunities are in the balance. The Fret* Press hopes that when Governor McLean studies the-ques tion sufficiently and other leaders in the state do likewise that they wilF find it in order to advocate the addi tional school term. Such advocacy should not come until there has been careful study. As a matter of prin ciple this paper believes %iat the school term should be lengthened. Whether it is expedient at the moy inent to do so,* is a matter for more consideration. He Knew. At a lectnre tbe speaker orated fer vently; "He drove straight to his goal. He looked neither to tbe right I nor to the left, but pressed forward, moved by a definite purpose. Neith er friend nor. foe Could delay him nor . tifrh him from his course. All who ' crossed his path did so at their own peril. What would you carl such a uiau?" "A truck driver,” shouted a voice from tbe audience. * i I ’—* - M US* PENNY CRLUMN—IT PAYS CENTRAL ASIA CRADLE OF THE HUMAN RACE According to Members of Expedition Which Has Been ad Work There. Chicago. Dec. 16. —04P—Further ' proof that Central Asia was the cradle of tbe human race and the discovery of additional links in the evolution of mammals out of reptiles are among the principal results of the third Asiatic expedition of the Roy Chapman Andrews party of the Amer ican Museum of Natural History, Implements of a stone age race ear lier than those of the primitive hu mans discovered in Europe, were found in the Gobi Desert. No bones of primitive humans were found this year, but “it is certain that in some localities they- must have been pre served g»d that eventually they will be found,” said Mr. Andrews. “We have determined," Mr. An drews continued, “that Mongolia is the oldest continuously dry land in the world. It lias been a continu ously dry continent since the late paleozoic times, probably for twenty million years. We have determined that in paleozoic times a great seway extended through the Central Asian pieateau from the Caspian sea to the Pacific Ocean. The Central Asia plateau was nevfr invaded by an ice sheet similar to that of Europe and America. “We have determined that in Mon gblia there were successive wet and dry stages with an ever increasing aridity. For the last 50.000 years the drying up has been rapid. "The theory that Central Asia was the point of origina for maeh of the reptilian ami mammalian life of the world has been greatly strengthened. We have discovered in Mongolia the existence of several great groups of mammals which previously were known only from America, or Europe. “The feet and part of Ipie legs of the giant Balucliitherium, the largest land mammal that ever lived, were discovered. Some three million years ago. this great beast had spink in quicksand and was fossilized in an upright positiotj. “For the first time areheologly add ed to our investigations. We dis covered iu the Gobi desert two old .Stone Age hnmaji cultures. A late paleolithic f ultur e, corresponding somewhat to the Azilian of Europe hut probably twice as old, was found. IVe named these people the ‘Done Dwellers' because they inhabited the sand dunes on the shores of ancient lakes, about 20,000 years ago. “About 3.000.000 years ago a vast redwood forest extended all over Man churia closely similar to the giant redwood trees of California." "Red Caps” Aid to Travelers. Kansas City. Dec. 16.— UP) —In the "red cap" that chivalry, which spurred to the rescue of maids imperiled, seems born again. The ushers in the union station here have banded in practical, but nevertheless chivalrous, vigilanec to frustrate those persons who Some-! times prey upon unwary young wom en. They have a more than local reputation. Parents of girls who are going for a journey, sometimes com mend them by letter to the ushers' protection. "Twice.” said one "red cap”, "I | have taken young women away from disreputable women with whom they I had struck up an acquaintanceship i on trains. lam sure they would have been the victims of these women otherwise,” He believed that others of the 130 nshers had had similar opportunities for good service. The "red raps" are alert to danger signals. They note the puzzled em barrassment of a girl when a man. with whom they have become ac quainted on a train, insists on show ing them where to go in a strange city. They are quick to size up women who insist on taking girls home witli them. They are just as quick to interfere. "We are instructed first thing to ask for their tickets." said the "red 1 cap.' "Then we know what train I they must be sure to catch and where! they come from. The station master I makes it warm for any usher who | fails to meet young women travelers."

CHAPTER X—Continued “So, that’s it I” he exclaimed. “Mc- Tish must have installed it, and on my own boat; he has his nerve—” Then to Doc, “What have you been trying to do? Come, now, hand it out straight and cut out the trim mings.” “Do?” in a tone of puzzled innp cence. “Nawthin’—just rolled over to keep me winga from goin’ to sleep.” * “And purely by accident'found this button, I suppose.” “ghat’s it, Cap,” returned Doc airily. “I found it there and tried it to see what would happen.” * “Os course, you couldn’t by any chance have been signaling?” “Signalin’l Far be it from me,” the big man declared. "It did see some little -flashes like, cornin’ from that there stick” (indicating the mast with a jerk of his head side wise) “but I didn't think they meant nothin’. Who’d I be signal- ' in' to round here, hey?" “Well, see you donT try to find some one,” Lacy said grimly. “And get back to where you were before. Quick, now 1” ILJIi -W&r f 07/ WMmjL l/i i “Come now hand if auX straight 1” Under the prod of an impatient foot Doc was forced bhek to his old position forward, and Lacy, scowl ing, made his way aft. “T didn't see the flashes,” he ex plained to McTish. “but he must have been sending off something. Have you any idea of our hear ings?” “We’re ass Sea Cliff noo,” McTish replied, pointing abaft; “yon's Exe cution Light. An’ this is the njpu' o' Hempstead Harbor.” . “We’re not far from Bayville then,” Lacy commented. “Now I’d suggest that we pull up anchor and head north, hugging tht shore. I don’t like the idea of your Swedish friend catching those signals.” The Scotchnian’s jaw fell in dis gust. "Why, mon, that’s .what we want!” he exclaimed. “Mac,” the other returned, 'T’ve a wholesome admiration for your canniness and fighting ability, but you told me yourself that ‘The Swede’ had a half-dozen bruisers aboard. We can’t tackle them all. I hope Bob will succeed in locating them first.” f N “Weel, lad, I’m ndcij if ye are afeared, hut if ye’ll just pick oot one o’ them—>ye can' pick on* the gaftest—l'll talk’ case o' the ither sax.” In moments of excitement McTish became very Scotch indeed.

I’m | horribly curious.” ( “If by ‘it’ you niean your friend Pooch, I should say in about twenty years—thongh sometimes they d« get off for good behavior.” He was "suddenly quite sure sh« ! was making a tremendous effort t» keep her lip* from trembling, but she continued to smile unconcern edly. “This is a movie, isn’t it—in thirty, * seven reels? That’s why I wanted to know when it was to be released, \ so that I could see the results. I’v« never taken part in ortc before. And here we all are, Pooch and Doc, two 1 perfect duckies of villains, and Sweetie, the ' soubrette—isn’t that what you’d call her, or am I -going i back to Aunt Celimena’-s/ days? ! Then there are cars being stolen i and spilled all over the landscape, j and messages in cipher, and flashes i from mastheads and motorboats ] popping up out of nowhere. I’m 1 properly thrilled, and, besides, I’m I the star, I suppose. And the sal- j aries are true, too—l never believed I ’em—but whew! fifty thousand a j -night!” "As long as you’re casting us, j would you mind telling me my role?” A moment she studied him, slight ly to his discomfiture. Then, “Let’s ] see your profile—h’m ’“ls it as bad as that?” '“Yes, every bit—and you’re tho I handsome* juvenile”—he bowed— "or else one ridiculous sheiks.” Here he didrnot bow, but ■ instead answered, “And I’ll play op posite you—on the other side of the bars.” “You mean?” “I’ll give you one ought to be easy, for you've been i awfully lucky if you haven’t looked j through them before.” “Something actually thrilling then; how much more thrilling, when all the time I’ve been looking for the camera man!" She reused dramatically. “i)h, I get it; you’re, not the handsome juvenile—you’re the director, and trying to put me in the spirit of my role” (she looked down). “But where are the put tees?” „ “You arc clever!” he returned, perhaps with not as muA aplomb as he would have liked, “but you’re too good for this game. Why don’t you -try something less desperate? With your talent you could go far on the stage.” “further thafi fifty thousand?” Connemara challenged him with a laugh. “Aren’t you optimistic?” “Say,” remarked a voice just be hind thefti, its tones a trifle shrill. “I guess I wouldn’t har£ too much on that fifty thousand if I were you, Sister. Not in present company, anyhow.” With a queer sense of shock, Connemara and Lacy spun about to behold the pert little figure of Sweetie, seated nonchalantly on the prostrate Pooch, her hands in her pockets, swaying to and fro, entirely unmoved by his protesting grunts and writhings. “To think Sister’d tie the double cross on Poochie,” she informed the night about them with an iir of commiseration that made her un willing cushion wHthe afresh. “An’ him lying here all nicely roped up like he was doin’ some Lon Chaney stunt.
