"Every man I meet look as If he'd gone out to borrow trouble with plenty of it on hand.” This comment from a distinguished French visitor ot our shores reminds us how qtiickly we Americans exhaust life. With what panting haste we pursue every thing. Every man you meet on the streets seems to be late for some appoint ment. Everybody is going to u con ference or a meeting or a luncheon. Hurrry is stamped in the wrinkles of the American face. The old. serene days are gone with the greaat trees that used to line our businet** thor oughfares. Both faces and trees re flected the spirit of the times, a spirit of serenity and poise. Today the Americans are people bf action. We are bored without it. Faster and faster we go as the years speed by. The machinery of body and mind is forced to the breaking point. The slender cord of life is stretched until it snaps. There is no time even for a leisurely death. We live at high pressure until the boiler bursts. The type of our diseases has actually been changed to suit our changed constitution and environment. The lingering maladies of our fathers are little known today. Heart disease and apoplexy are the most danger ous ailments of the present. Even death has adopted our terrific gait. What’s to be the end. nobody knows- Medical science and skill are attacking this problem. The lure of the out-of-doors is growing apace, and this tends to bring back the more leisurely view of life and to put in the proper many of the pursuits of the present day that are subordinate to the grent business of living. Antique Seekers After Carpentry. Antique seekers have entered a new field. Doors, panels and other parts of old buildings are much sought after. Property owners and salvagers are finding it a profitable business. Particularly in the jlder sections of the country are the an cient residences and buildings being placed on the market, valued prin cipally for their aged carpentry. The drift of souvenir hunting for anti que doors, staircases, window case ments, cupboards and room paneling lis said to have reached its present stage due to the scarcity of real an tiques in furniture and art of un questioned age and origin. Many people, disappointed by failure to obtain old furniture or other objects for their homes, go in for antique carpentry. These bits of old struc tures arb being incorporated into the finish of a den, library or dining room in the modern home. Have Faith in Yourself. j Forbes Magazine. 1 Most men go to pieces when they have had a few beatings. They quit. They fade away. They crawl into a • safe little corner and hide while the great rough tid of glorious rushes •past them. The fact is that defeat is 1 the normal thing in this haphazard ; little world and victory comes but seldom. Every victory, usually is the I result of a long series of defeats. A • man must have faith in himself and in what he is trying to do- He must say “I can.” He mmt back himself to win. He must bet on himself. He must have faith in the people he works with. He must believe in his team. He must see the better aide of his co-workers not think that his own point of view is the only right I one. He must have faith in those 1 great principles that make ua su perior to the animala of the forest— to truth, honesty, sympathy, justice, progress.

The position is taken by the North ' Carolina branch of the Typothetae. and by officials of the North Carolina Press Association—most of its mem bers are printers ns well as publish ers—that the trade la justified in pro testing, and ought to protest, against competition of the state prison. The prison has no labor to charge, no over head charges to meet, no rent to pay and no depreciation to consider in making charges, is one way of pat ting it. To antagonize the printing industry in this way can mean no more than a small profit for the pris on. "There is no need for a print ing plant in the prison. Just because a few printers are in prison"—the craft does not produre many con-j viets—"is no reason for operating a I printing plant. The prison does not maintain a bank and jewelry store to give employment to bankers and jewelery Who might me inmates." At least it cannot be gainsaid, that there is no more reason why the prison should operntc in competition; with the printing business than in I competition with any other. But Children Under 14 Years of Age Not Indictable in North Carolina Brock Barkley in Winston-Salem Journal- Baleigh. Oct. 12. —Children under fourteen years of age are no longer indictable as criminals tinder the North Carolina law no matter how flagrant or heinous the crime may be while the criminal responsibility of those between fourteen and sixteen depends upon the degree of the crime. Assistant Attorney General Frank Nash advised the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare in a formal opinion on the subject today. The ruling was dieted by the case of a boy between fourteen and fif teen. named not disclosed, who is al leged to have assaulted a grown man by shooting him with a gun. The Charities Board sought to determine Whether the Superior Court or Juvenile Court had jurisdiction. Mr: Nash ruled as follows, stating first the principles in relation to crime committed by children and then ap plying them to the particular case: “Our Supreme Court in State v. Burnette, 170 N. C.. 735. and State v. Coble. 181 X- C.. 554. have estab lished the following principles in re lation to crimes committed by chil dren under sixteen years of age: "I. Children under fourteen years of age are no longer indictable as criminals, it makes no difference how flagrant and how heinous the crime may be. They must be dealt with a. wards of the State to be cared for. controlled and disciplined with a view to their reformation. "2. Children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, when charged with felonies in which the punish ment cannot exceed imprisonment for more than ten years, are commit ted to the Juvenile Court for in vestigation and if the circumstances require it. may in* bound over to be Slang Not a Sign of Degeneration; It Enriches Language, Says Professor (By International News Service) San Francisco. Oct. 18.—Slang is all right, according to Professor G. R. Potter, of _ file I'niversity of Cali fornia English department. "Slang is not the sign of a degen eration of the tongue,” the professor asserted. . “It is a development of expression which enriches rather than cheapens t’lie language.” Shakespeare used slang words and phrases in his writings. Professor Pot ter contended, and so did O. Henry and a nuipber of other writers whose productions- are 'now considered the Amity in the South. !

The Southern' Negroes Itnow who their friends are. j Mid that their friends live in the | South, and the white women are ns 1 ' safe with them as with the low white tramps and bums. Some white: women in the South personally mnn-| age their farms with Negro labor. | ; and others are thrown with them! ' very closely in the same work on the ' farms, with no friction.

Another idea of prisons is that they are most economically profitable If regarded ns reconstruction, or salvage, agencies. In that view, a printer in prison could be more profitably em ployed as an instructor in the art, whenever there were any young men in the place wit'.i a natural aptitude for it. To operate printing machin ery for the purpose of instruction, however, is quite n different ‘ thing from producing work in competition | with the taxpayers who have given I their lives to the trade, and have their eanital invested in it. The newspapers of Plie state are called upon to voice their objections. The matter is undoubtedly in their hands. The powers that be will I hardly persist in the prison printing ; enterprise against the emphatic ob i jection of tlic press. It is a protest on principle. prosecuted in the Superior Court nt term, under the criminal law apper taining to the charge. "3. Children under fourteen years and over, when charged with felonies in which the punishment may be more than ten years’ imprisonment, in all cases shall be subject to prose cution for crimes as in the ease of adults.
