l| ACT QUICKLY AS THE TIME IS LIMITED I
WOMEN ARE SHOWING
SAGACITY POLITICALLY
Their Derision to Lay Low on the
Australian Ballot Was an Art of
Wisdom. .
Tom Best in Greensboro New;.
Raleigh, May 3.—Notwithstanding
an earlier purpose to contest the
Democratic nomination for governor
with all and sundry candidates from
the west, the derision of Miss Julia
Alexander, of Mecklenburg, to make
the race again for member of the
lower house is accepted as tantamount
to n change of the feminine mind.
Mies Alexander was in Raleigh last
week, but she did not discuss the
governorship. She merely announced
that she would run for the lower
house. She appears to have no oppo
sition. Even if she does it is hard
ly probable that she would be de
feated. So far as is known she will
again be the only woman in the
house or senate. And there had been
but one predecessor. Miss Lillian
Exum Clement, of Buncombe,
Wake county people are trying, to
induce some well known woman to
run for the lower house and Rowan
county people earnestly sought the
announcement of Miss Mary Hender
son, Rowan's most prominent mem
ber of the feminine Democracy. Miss
Henderson has (jeeiined to contest
with the men. She is exceedingly
anxious that Walter Morphy retuyi
to the capital and knowing that some
. opposition to him has sprung up on
account of his fight for the defeat of
the Poole bill, Miss Henderson would
not go into a contest in which she
might have been the beneficiary of
huch disaffection as this courageous
coures of Mr. Murphy caused.
It is quite reasonable to think that
the 1920 general assembly. Max Gard
ner's first as governor wi'l he fn”
•f women. They will seek to put
over the first big item in his ph.-
gram, the Australian bat'ot- Unfit
a more propitous time for this re
form the women will probab.y not
make any organized effort to get that
ballot.
The indifference of the present par
ty management to the Australian bal
lot moved the women to make no
fight 011 the floor of the state con
vention last week.
They probably won more than t'.iey
lost. They looked the land over and
decided that it would be better not
to have the proposal defented by the
convention. It gives the League of
Women Voters further opportunity to
j Merest the public in this better elec
tion machinery and robs the stand
patters of the handy argument that
the Democratic convention had sat
down upon this measure. The mak
ers of the platform had sent for the
women and asked them to present 1
this measure. The members appeared
to be interested. ' Mias Henderson,
vice chairman of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee, presented the is
sue before the platform committee.
Chairman John G. Dawson’s county
convention declared sot It The next
governor is in favor of it. That looks
pretty good for the women.
They wouldn't lose tile prestige
which these circumstances gives them.
I They wouldn't hnzard the issue by
■ sending it before a convention which
had doomed it before hearing it. Tile t
action of Chairman Dawson's county
was wonderful. His was the worst
anti-suffrage county in the state and
he, most loveable man of the party,
was as bad against suffrage qs Hai
i let Ward or Grandoldyonngman Rufe.
But the other day the Lenoir county I
convention met. The men submitted
; a milk and cider resolution on better
■ election laws. The women whirled in
and voted it down. Thereupon they
whirled in again and passed' a real
Australian ballot resolution. The
women were doing well.
And the present state of public
mind toward all improved mensifrc-i i
in state polities is such that the wom
en are going to let two yeqrs pass be
fore they swarm niton the capital. J
But they are going to be here when ■
they have a leader in the governor’s
office who will not be satisfied with
the worst election laws in the United
States.
Paul Revere Again Rides.
The familiar story of Paul Re
vere’s ride was repeated in Boston,
Concord and Lexington in connection
w.ith the 151st anniversary of that
incident of the Revolution. Once
more the tower of the old North
church signaled "the British are
coining by sea" and once more
Revere mounted his horse' and spread
the alarm through the countryside.
This time, however, equal credit was
given William Dawes Jr., Revere’s
companion rider. Though many peo
ple would gather accept the story of
Revore's ride as immortalized in
Longfellow's poem, history says that
Revere was captured and it was
Dawes who aroused the patriots, j
James Fagan, Massachusetts his- I
torian, credits Revere with auother
ride—from Boston to Newcastle —in 1
which Revere wanted of another j
British march and saw the colonists’
powder safely removed from rort.
William and Mnry to Durham, N\
H. Fagen has also discovered that
Revere was a “jaek-of-all-trades"
Revere supplied copper for the plates
on the statehouse dome; made can
nons at ranton, made copper bolts
for the frigate Constitution, printed
paper money, conducted classes in
patriotism among children, served ns
first president of the Charitable
Mechanics Institution, made many
church bells (some of which still j
ring in New England churches), wns
a dentist, blacksmith, silversmith !
and sold weathearvanes.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRlfcutfE
THE BABY SHOES OF
DePAOLO’S YOUNG SON
Can They Onee More Lead Him to
the ChampKnshlp of the A A.
A.?
Charlotte. N. C., May 3.—Can the
baby shoes of IVto De Paolo’s young
son, Tlicmaso, once more lead Pete to
the driving championship of the A. A.
A., ns they did last year?
DePqolo himself says he is sure
they will. Let the world smile at the
thought of baby shoes deciding desti
j nics at a great race, if it will. Pete
has his reasons. They have led the
way in many a hard-fought contest on
brick and board tracks of the country
in the last year,
DePaolo is one or tne entrants in
the 250-mile speed classic to be run
nt the Charlotte Speedway Mav 10th.
j Tomaso's little “dogs" led I’ete to
j the top last year because they rode,
| one on each front spring of his I)ucs
enberg Speeinl as he finished first in
, enough races to clinch the title of
champion driver of all the speed
kings. 1
DePaolo will pin his faith in the
coming race to the same make of car
| that has brought him so much fame
I and fortune in the last two years. His
I mount will be a Duesenberg Special,
the last race it will ever run, as the
piston displacement changes after this
race from the 122 to 01 1-2.
To win the A. A. A. racing cham
pionship in 1025, the little Italian-
Americnn defeated such veterans as
Tommy Milton, Ralph DePaltna, Earl
Cooper, Eddie Hearne, Benny Hill,
Harry Hartz and Frank Elliott. De-
Pnolo scored 3,260 points to 1.735
for Milton, the second man.
Pete got his racing baptism riding
as a mechanician with his uncle, De-
Palma. When tlie racing cars were
changed from the double to the single
Heaters, Pete began driving for him
■ self.
I Superstition occupies a prominent
pince in DePaolo's life. In addition
to the baby siloes on the springs the
, champion always carries a horseshoe
and a left hind foot of a graveyard
rabbit captured at midnight. He also
displays a huge A. A. A. emblem on
the radiator of his machine.
CHARLOTTE RACES TO
BE FASTEST OF SEASON
So tlie Veteran Starter, Fred Wagner,

Charlotte. N. 0., May 3.—“ My
prediction is Charlotte race will be
fastest of season.”
| That is the cryptic telegram from

j race starter received at headquarters
lof the Charlotte- speedway, and it
refers to the 250 mile national
j chumpionship classic which will be

after Benny Hill, one of the Char
otte entrants, had copped the Culver
City meet by driving the 250 miles
at an average of 131.29 miles an
hour- This is a new record for the
distance, topping the one set n few
weeks previous by Peto Depaolo—
another local entrant—at the in
augural race at the Miami-Fulford
bowl.
The average speed of the Culver
ity grind was given out as 130.59
miles an hour at the time but after
the customary re-check the contest
boats!' of American Automobile asso
ciation, which sponsers the event on
the eight big brick and board tracks
in America, announced that the offi
cial average was 131.20. In the
qualifying rounds a few days pre
vious BCob McDonogh, Tommy Mil
ton’s protege, turned the fastest mile
ever recorded when his speed reach
ed 145.
Wagner's wire accentuates interest
that is already mauifestea in chang
ing piston displacement of racing
machines from 122, as at present, to
91.5. The Charlotte race will be the
last in which the large cars will run
and many fans are of the opinion
that the drivers will "cut loose”
more than usual because they will
not have to worry about using the
machines again. Some racing follow
ers are of the belief that it will at
tain the speed ofthe present ma
chines; others believe that the 500
mile grind at Indinapolis wnieh
wilj inaugurate the 91.5 buses, will
result in a speed as great as that of
the present cars.
Speedway officials expect Mr.
Wagner to arrive next Tuesday or
Wednesday. He will officiate at the
inaugural race at the Atlantic City
track Saturday.
New “Bob” Style.
Delegates at the opening of the na
tional convention of the all-American
beauty culture schools announced that
those who set the styles for women
have decided that future heads of
hair wii] be of indeterminate length.
That is, they will be halfway between
the present close bob and the "old
fashioned" long hair, but must not
fall below the shoulders. The an
nouueement, however, stated that on
ly the Bide hair would be permitted
to grow longer than at present. The
boyish bob in the back will remain.
The style makers claim that debut*
antes can use the extra hair on the
sides for curls, while older women
can roll it up off the ears and use it
to form email rolls in the back. This,
they claim, will give the effect of long
hair, but will not be so bunglesomc.

Only Renuuiant Remains at Cedars I
of Lebanon.
The Cedars of Lebanon, ao famous
in Biblical days, have dwindled un
til only a sorry remanant of the
celebrated forest from which Solomon
obtained supplies of timber for
building the temple at Jerusalem re
mains standing. The impressions of
this once mighty forest, on various
notables in modern times have varied
widely. Says a French writer.
? Chateaubriand aud Lamartine,
both of whom visited the famous
cedars of Lebanon early in the nine
teenth century, expressed boundless
enthusiasm over the expenditions.
Opposed to these was. Volaey, who
visited Syria' just before the Revolu
tion, in 1787. Concerning his ex
periences, he said : ‘These celebrated
trees are like many other marvels,
and do not live up to their reputa
tion. There are only five or six of
them left, and there is nothing
particular in them to make it worth
one's while to cross the precipices
which lead to them.” Flaubert was
of the same opinion when he visited
them in 1860, accompanying Max-
