convention of the North Carol ins Press
association, will be held at Morehead
Villa, Morehead Bluffs, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. July 20. 21
and 22.
The tjme and place for holding the
convention was selected at a meeting
of the executive committee qf the
association held in the lobby of the
Morganton News-Herald last night
| with the following members of the
committee in attendance: Miss Beat
rice Cobb, Morganton, secretary-treu
surer; B. Arp Lowrance, field secre
tary; J. W. Atkins, Gastonia; Lea

I The committee heard the field secre
tary detail the results of his investi
gation into accommodation, rates, ate.,
and accepted the invltationof the man
agement of the Morehead Villa to meet
there in July.
The executive committee went some
what into details relative tfo the pro
gram and authorized the secretary
and president to prepare a tentative
program for approval by the executive
coinmitte at a meeting to be held
| sometime before Mny 1. It wns the
sense of the committee that the morn
ing hours should be devoted to busi
ness sessions with general discussion
of topics and problems having to do
with the pulishing business in North
Carolina ; that the afternoons be giv
en over to recreation such ns boating,
bathing, golfing, etc., and the evenings
to addresses and talks dealing with the
newspaper business in general. This
general outline may be changed to
some extent when the program is
finally approved, but the committee
felt that it would be wise this year to
pattern the convention somewhat after
the plan of the Southern Newspaper
lhihlishers association and devote the
afternoons to recreation.
Prior to the meeting of the com
mittee the members of the executive
committee were the specially invited
guests of Miss Cobb at the Kiwanis
dinner, which was greatly enjoyed

COOLIDGE LIKELY TO
TAKE ASHEVILLE TRIP
President Being Urged To Rest From
Work For Week Or So This Spring.
Washington, March 20. While
North Carolina is out of the question
as the seat of the summer White
House, there is a distinct possibility
that President and Mrs. Coolidge may
go to the State for a spring mention
of two or three weeks it was learned
today.
Close friends and associates of the
President, it was learned today, have
been urging him to rest from the work
Qf his office for a few weeks nnd get
away from the heavy strain of the
Presidential office. Mrs. Coolidge, it
is understood, is heartily in favor of
the proposal that the President take
a short vacation this spring.
Florida and Asheville are the two
places which the President has been
tonsidering, it is reported. Because
of the lateness of the season, it is
believed that the President will not
undertake the Florida trip, which has
been urged by George F. lleun, Repub
lican National Committeeman from
that State. This helps the chances in
Asheville.
President and Mrs. Coolidge like,
Asheville and often refer to happy
times spent (here when they visited
the mountain city just before his
inauguration as Vice-President.
, An invitatiou from Governor Mc-
Lean to the President to make a brief
visit to Asheville was personally con
veyed to the President last week by
Mrs. Lindsay Patterson. Republican
Committeewomnn from the State.
No More Shaving!
London. March 19.—1 tis possible
that before long men will no longer
need to sha,ve every morning, and
women will hive no more worries with
bobbed hair. As a result, of experi

uralist, the growth of the hair can
be regulated. During experiments a
strain of mice were produced whose
heads became bald in sixteen days. A
few days later they lost the fur on
their backs, nnd n little later pi! their
hair had gone.
