Conditions that be found in the room were relayed to the'eburt, by the officer, who said Brabham asked him to be quiet about the matter, stating their position in life, their character and reputation. Teague said he sympathized with them but told them to dress. Miss Jenkins insisted that she was sick and wanted a doctor.

IMU 1 WUwtM i / Save the Hospital Fund. v Charlotte Observer. If congressional action in nm»s jflry- to prevent ten million dollars >f the fund left by the late James B. Duke for hospital work in North ’aro’.iita and' South Carolina being absorbed in Federal inheritance .axes, then by all means such con ’reasionnl action shou d be fortfi .mirift For the Federal Government to ake ten million dollars bequeathed 'y any philanthropist to an agency levoted exclusively Jo the alleviation f human .suffering or chancy, such is hospitalization work, providing icrpitnj treatment for thousands of voor peop'e who otherwise could iot have it, is not comparable to tak ing candy from a child —it is far .vorsr- than that. We are not familiar with the de tails of tjm history of the, Jegis'a.- ionthat resulted in the enactment of the prroent Federal inheritance ax law. but it is difficult to believe that it was ihe intention of the .Varners of this legislation that be piest x left to charity should be con fiscated by the Government’. We are act arguing hero the* merits or de merits of the inheritance tax law per 6e. That is another quostiop. But we do not believe it i.> the will of the American people that Federal taxes should be permitted to absorb any ;art even of a fund bequeathed to Any charitable purpose, particularly any agency for the alleviation of human suffering, even if a portion of a fund bequeathed to educational purpose,, might he taken by the Gov ernment in the form of inheritance .axes*. The Governors of the two Caro linas nnd the Senators and Repre sentatives in (’ongrew* from the two States doubtless will bestir them selves to bring about whatever legis lation is necessary to prevent the Duke money for hospitalization work being diverted into the Federal Treasury. That their efforts in the i matter will be appreciated and heartily supported by the people of the two States there can be no; doubt. Government Should Not Tax Such Gifts. Raleigh Times. AVhet her there is any provision in the law whereby the inheritance tax on tlie Duke estate ean be remitted so as to free the Duke Foundation frqm the necessity of reducing its ap propriation for hospitalization we do not know, but there should be provi sion made. Ten million dollars serv ing ns n perpetual endowment for the treatment of the sick would be worth infinitely more to the citizen ship than that much money turned into the treasury of the United States and perfiaps used for the purpose of paying interest on debts incurred for killing our neighbors. Not all of a man’s money may be considered his own and is fine argument in favor of inheritance taxes, but when the possessor of great wealth wants to give it back to those who helped him to make it he should be assisted, if his gift be intelli gent. Some of the most productive money to be found anywliere, hard working, honest and sincerely charitable, is that of foundations such as the Car negie, Sage and Rockefeller. The Duke Foundation in its objectives compares favorably with any of these. Not even Andrew Mellon, for all his ability as a financier, can contrive a means of investing the pro. coeds of the inheritance taxes so as to equal the contribution to the com mon good designed by Mr. Duke. It ie to be devoutly hoped chat some means of remitting the tax can be found. EMBARRASSING MOMENTS New Y’ork Mirror. Playing cards at a euchre party one night I happened to play against one of those grouchy old ladies who are al ways finding fault with everybody’s playing. Being on the winning side, I moved to the next table. I mentioned the fact to my new partner and I was very glad to be removed from that old crank at the last table. I was em barrassed to hear her reply, “That is my mother." Last week I got free tickets for a matinee and called up my boss tell ing bint I wasn’t feeling well nnd couldn’t come to work. Next morning when I entered the office, the boss ask ed me, “AVltere were you yesterday ? I went up to the house to see you and found you bad gone to a theatre.” “Gunboat" Smith, who a dozen years ago was reckoned among the topnotch American white heavyweight fighters, is now employed as fi mes senger by one of the AVall Street brokerage houses.

Dee 20—OP)— The "Florida season” has begun and from new until mid-March the I’eninsu'n state will hang heavy on the man with winter tourists. I Think/giving wan the official open ing of the winter season at a aninter of the rCmi-tropical resorts. Odors, more less popular (Pit tern of social and recreational activity, have no special dates for beginning the whirl and rush of receiving vaca tionists. but lather keep “Open house." This commenced from the turning cf the first leaf in the North and will last until the last tourist departs in the Spring. Actual tenure of the social season is determined by the whims of society. In late years there has been evi denced a decided trend to synchronize the Florida season with that of the French Riviera, to which the local salient is proving a mighty- competi tor. While Fifth Avenue tnilleurs and modistes arc showing what the beau mondc will wear at Palm Bench and on the Cote d’Azur, this concession to the foreign playground is being sharply offset oil the Rue de la Paix, where mesdames are view ing that which will be chic at Palm Reach this year. Closely following Yuletide holi days, Palm Reach, a city whoso chief heritage is a honeyed air, a ! strip of palm-fringed sand, a shin j ing sun and a singing sea, begins to acquire all the accoutrements of a , metropolis. Here come the hosts of society, here, come the men and wo ; men of big and little fame; the legions of rich and newly-rich—all to romp on the beaches, to frolic in the surf, to relax in the shade of palm studded glades. Palm Reach becomes the capital of, society for a season. Although Palm Reach is the heart of Florida's winter vacationing area, other -(‘.surle and even non-resort | sectors bear their share in providing amusement nnd recreation to the in- I coming fugitives from colder and I barer scenes. I From St. John’s on the cast coast. dowt» around the little keys nnd up | to the bend - of the Gulf on the west coact the visitor rests, as well as in lake towns and oher interior resorts. A number of out-of-state millionaires maintain palaoe ! !ike hotnes along the coasts and ill the interior, while other wealthy visitors locate their magnificent bungalows on little coral- based keys, just large enough to give space to a house nnd "elbow room.” Seen from a distance these islets, with the sky as a background and a light-colored base, have the fairy-lik# appearance of islands floating in the air. To meet the anticipated increase in tourists this season new de luxe trains have been added to the al ready heavy regular schedule from Florida to, New York nnd Chicago. A coastwise steamship line has eli minated a regular out-of-state port of call and extended its southern most terminus front Jacksonville to Miami, while a new line has been inaugurated between M ill mi and Havana. Hotels have been refurnished and expanded, and numerous cottages for tourists’ use have sprung up In readiness for the big rush. .Movie Directors List Ten Qualifica tions For Actress. Hollywood, Cal., Dec. 20.— UP) — Ten qualifications necessary in a feminine film actress are listed by executives of several movie studios here. Character is the first requisite, with personality second, beauty third and intelligence fourth. Imagination is rated fifth. Grace, poise and carriage come sixth, in the opinion of the film exe cutives, and a knowledge of drama is held an important asset if one is to reach the top. A girl's environment is given rat ing at the home life and surround ings of a potential actress carry much weight in the selection of an applicant. Age ranks ninth, with education and training tenth. Various ways of determining the qualifications are employed. At one studio the applicant walks the length of the employment manager's office and is scrutinized before speak ing. A ruler is suspended from the | wall, near the entrance. As the ap plicant passes it, the manager judges lief approximate height. She is asked to remove her hat- Thus her style of hair dressing and the manner in which she takes off her hat are noted. Her carriage and poise are revealed when she is asked to get a book from a shelf. Smith—Ah. so your son is in college; how’s he making it? Black—He isn't.

Irkutsk, Siberia, Dee. 29.-—OP) Government sanitary inspectors have liscovered several hundred miles from here a large community of Rus hans who have never washed or bathed and who have never used water for any other purpose except to drink.

The first man who was compelled to bathe was reported to have died of fright- The members of the community, who live in great isolation and tinder the most primitive conditions, had never even washed their clothes or their cooking and eating utensils.
