P : ■ ■■■"' .1. i. - * i : ——————— m CAN’T ANOTHER PLAN BE DEVISED? I L'.,, Within the past several weeks espec'ally, If numbers of persons have asked us if the city jj didn’t have a law requiring- groceries, placed on the sidewalks in front of stores, to be kept I \ Covered so they would not be reached by flies, f dogs and other animals.. I ' Inquiry develops the fact that such a law ? : was passed here once and then repealed or Otherwise nullified. This action means that the grocer can put his stuff on the sidewalks without taking the necessary precaution to §; j seep it from becoming polluted by passing j j dogs, flies and other infections that are always I present. i j Practically every grocery store in Concord, pf : or at least the vast majority of them, put If tempting fruits and vegetables out in front so | * they can be seen easily by the passing public. S> - , *so far as we have been able to see by obser vwthin none of the stores provide coverings for : " i ~ these goods. Practically every grocery store in Concord 1?: has show windows and the suggestion has been made that the grocer keep his display 5 goods there instead of on the sidewalk or Ifsh some other exposed place at the front of his f t place of business. Vegetables and fruits are washed always lij and in many instances they are peeled but we pi have seen stuff exposed that can never be made I. jpa-elean. Hundreds of-flies make some of these f their headquarters and naturally they on the exposed goods, many of which III,' are sweet. Flies thus attracted by the goods | on the outside of the store eventualuly make f their way into the store in many instances, Iff thus carrying their dirty work even farther. I We believe grocery stores would sell just as 5, much stuff if they displayed it in windows in *§ : stead of on the street. | WILL ELIMINATE GRADE CROSSINGS. Llj The tragic accident near Gastonia Sunday, i| which resulted in the death of six girls, has :.-.A j focused public attention again to the matter : I of grade crossings. The crossings must be i eliminated, is the public cry, and it is en- Allcourage to hear from the State Highway ft. Commission that such will be the case. 1 | W. C. Wilkinson, highway commissioner for » the sixth district, states that the commission mt already has ordered the Gastonia crossing If* eliminated. The order was given some time |p> ag° but it is not known now just- when the Ilij work will be started. ' p' •’ New York state has just voted to issue lu bonds to eliminated crossings in that State P„ and similar action is being taken in other ■h-. States. . Mr. Wilkinson pointed out that the State jp Highway Commission’s policy, since its crea- B/.- tion, has been to eliminate the menace to life Bf, and limb which the grade crossings consti g tute. Several hundred such crossings have gs been eliminated in the course of the develqp ilf ment of the system of North Caro-, ■t lina. This was accomplished either by rerout ing the roaas for considerable distances or by' ft; making minor changes in the routes and con- E»| structing underpasses or bridges. The rail ed. ;ways operating in this State have co-operated ipifriln the Highway Commission, it was under pi The forecast was made by Mr. Wilkinson that the State Highway Commission ultimate d "his menace of such pvity as tYjuTt.ty ! ful to carry out its part of tfie bargain as the - State is to eliminate these crossings. North Carolina has a “stop” law* now and if it jvere - observed practically all of the grade crossing accidents would be avoided. t The crossings are to be eliminated as soon >as possible but until this is 4° n e the man at the wheel must exercise caution. Every one driving an automobile is supposed to be in " telligent enough to know what the railroad tracks are there for. Thqre is always the chance that a-train will be approaching and j the wise man Stops. Until the crossings are •t eliminated their danger can be greatly lessen -1 ed if the public" will use discretion. LIE DOWN IN A STORM ! In Public Service we find that a man lying i on the ground has a much better chance to 1 escape lightning than a man standing up. That is, with man-made lightning he has a better chance. Electrical engineers say the possibilities are that a man standing directly under a storm cloud would be struck fifteen times in one hundred strokes, while a man flat the ground would be struck only once in a hund dred strokes, they say. Two million volts of electricity having characteristic's of lightning have been made by the engineers for experimental purposes. Lightning has a voltage of 100,000,000 or about one million times the voltage of a house lighting circuit. A bolt of lightning repre sents enough energy to drive an automobile five miles or to operate a toaster for one day the experiments have disclosed. PROHIBITION LAW VIOLATORS Most of the persons ‘who violate the pro hibition law are foreigners while practically all of the officers engaged to enforce the law are Americans. Ninety-three per cent of the agents we are told are native Americans while sixty-two per cent of the violators of the prohibition law are foreign born. Mr. Walton Green, of the Pro hibition Unit, gives this information in The Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Green says of bootleggers. “The returns show 62 per cent aliens and 38 per cent native Americans. Only in the South Atlantic States is there a pre ponderance 'of native violators over foreign born, and that is accounted for by the great number of native-born negroes in the rum business. In all other sections of the Country the ilen is the chief offender. Philadelphia violators are .80 per cent foreign born, Chicago 60 per cent, San Francisco 10 per cent, Pitts burgh 55 per cent, Los Angeles, 68 per cent, and New York 85 per cent.” Mr. Green calls attention to the fact that there are only about three thousand men em ployed by the Federal Government to control the prohibition situation. He says: “The New York police force is five times as large as the entire Federal prohibition unit; and New York spends about $35,000,0Q0 a year on its police force, compared with some $11,000,000 which the United States spends cn interior enforcement.” i WISE CRACKS.

There ex ists a pressing need lor unbiased research which will give to the public of our country a disinterested, and ac curate account of them,” is the editorial preface to a group of articles in the August Forum presenting both' sides of the alleged ‘Teligious persecution” in the Re public to the South of us. “No American can know the Constitution of Mexico and the laws being enacted under it and, much less, the violence and lawlessness of the agencies set up ’to en force them, and fail to understand the tragedy being en acted in that country is. in reality, an assault upon freedom and the right of free men.” says Father Burke, General Secretary of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. What is the other side of the question? Earle K. James, a Chilean of twenty-nine, educated in Chile and now instructor of Spanish and English in a prominent boys’ school New y’ork City, addresses some pointed remarks bo Archbishop Curley: '•These’ Atehbishol Corley, are my principal arraign ments of the Church in Latin America: > “1.

At least such should be vitally interested In a recent issue of the I’hySfegl v*d ture Magazine. I)r. Frank Crank MU by the way. is one of the mofit fa«|q writers in the country, lays down eigh teen rules to be followed by *"the man over sixty." Believing these rules are filled with abundaajha of common sense and helpful suggestions and that they may be followed sty many of our readers with great profit jte give space for their reproduction as follows: 1. Cut down the amount of food. Three meals aye better than four; but two are better than three. 2. Increase flic amount of water. Neither a city no:- a citizen can run a drainage system without a water works. 3. Two movements a day are bet ter than one every two days; the colon bacilli in the large intestine are the principal cause of old age. 4. If you wapf to keep young, keep in with youitg people. 5. Keep busy. Work hard six days and rest jianl on the seventh. 6. When you see an easy chair on a -sunny morning, keep away from it. and go for a walk instead. The heart grows stronger by use and weaker by idleness. 7. Don’t change your lifelong hab its at sixty. If you have been a smoker all your life keep on smoking In moderation and if you have been a moderate drinker all your life, keep on d inking in moderation fit you can get it.' • / 8. Never exceed one ounce of to bacco a week. Never drink alcohol except*at meals and never before six p m.. and always well diluted with water. >, !>. When you are over,sixty don’t trjFfovwform a-rrdd feed with.yootvawn heat. It is cheaper and quicker to put a big hot water bottle in the bed. 10. When yon reach sixty, if you have, been careless'of your appearance befgri'. begin to- dress well. It. makes you lobk better and feel better nnd yoif-,nrc as well as you feel. warm bath' a week will keep your Skin young. 11. If when you reach sixty, you have a beard tlu-ec feet long begin' cutting it off one inch a day. In thir ty-six weeks you will be down to the skin. Then shave and look young. 12. Don't worry. 13. Do not turn your home into a museum of fine arts and antiques. Happiness, as a rule, is in invci*Bc proportion to the number of useless articles you own. ydd’ have’hot wlseb you’gee sixfy, either gt>f osle ori get a hobby. 16. Cancer, pneumonia and influen za are the principal causes of death between sixty and ninety. If you have them don’t give them to youy friends; and if you haven’t got them, don't let your friends give them to you. • -j 17. Don't go to funerals. The funr erals of your friends is some time* followed by your own. 18. Microbes are everywhere anq they are looking for people with aj poor circulation. A fatty heart is a' weak heart: keep thin. They are al so looking for pale people; keep rosy;- The picture of the First MethJ odist church, of Charlotte, of the combined congregations of therf Tryon Street and Trinity churches," appears in the Observer of July 31J The new building will eost $500.0(>fl? and will be the second eostliestf church building iu the state.

Tribune Bureau i Sit- Walter H6tel Raleigh, Aug. 4.—No new cases pf infantile paralysis have been reported to the State board of health since Monday, nnd' only two new cases of typhoid and the epidemiologists think that the peak of the wave in both these diseases lias been reached, al though a large nhmbcr of cases of typhoid can be expected throughout August and until the middle of Sep tember, as typhoid is primarily a hot weather disease thriving best in the t fly season. * Flies are the principal carriers of typhoid, getting the germs oil their S’ feet and legs from the filthy nnd un sanitary places in which they breed, then carrying these germs and de i positing them in milk and on food. ! Particular care in the covering of all : food from flies especially in the sani , tary protection of. milk from flies is Urged by the board of health upon i everyone in an effort to diminish ithe f WMount of typhoid.
