Our Sham World. ‘'All that glitters is not gold. - ’ But here's the truth, though bitter; Lots of people that we know Are satisfied with glitter. “—-—r-'— -■** E. J. ROLLINGS 6 - ROTARY SPEAKER AT MEETING HERE Tells of Harm Done by Use of Narcotics and How Per sons Who “Dope” Are Of ten Criminals. Declaring that there are many prob lems facing the American people, in cluding the Mexican situation, the South American situation, the Chinese situation and the European situation and that though all these problems are the most serious problem the American people have to face is with in their borders, SJ. J. Rollings, of Detroit. Mich., addressed the members of the Concord Rotary Club Wednes day at their luncheon and said that the situation within our borders was the narcotic one. Mr. Rollings, speaking in a convinc ing manner, held his listeners through his entire address. Fie spoke on a subject with which he was very fa miliar having studied the narcotie sit uation for niany years and lived for a time in the underworld to get first hand information on the use of "dope." “We have iu the United States' to day. according to a survey made in 1919. one million people addicted to drugs. It is estimated that they are increasing at the rate of 1,000 daily, i That would mean that we have a mil lion or a million and a half drug ad -1 diets in the country today,’ - he said. Stating that this narcotic problem must not be avoided, Mr. Rollings said: "The American people are the greatest ‘doiie’ using people in the world today. The drug habit will rob them of health; mentality and re spectability.'’ The speaker declared that the prob lem has three distinct angles. "The first one is the crime angle," he said. "The people who are drug addicts are criminals from petty thieves to those who commit murder. They become criminals because they are drug ad dicts. They rob to get money to Secure dope.’ Opium is the worse but morphine is used more for it can be taken with less trouble and and the outfit is not so buudlesome. The vic tims of paregoric are often hopeless cases. "The crime angle hooks up with the economic angle. Xinty per cent, of the million drug addicts in this country are reducted by drugs until they can’t work and nre placed upon public charities. The charities have to keep them and also spend money for 'dope' which they have to have. Many get money to buy the drugs by stealing. In the large cities of the country it is estimated that 90 per cent, of shop lifting is done' by drug addicts and 70 per cent, of all crime can be placed either directly or indirectly upon the use of nar cotics," said the speaker. The greatest problem, according to Mr. Rollings, is the moral one. He repeated that Americans are the great est drug using nation in the world and thjPa asked the question: "what are wet going to do about it?” He then added that the "dope" addiet comes from every walk of life and then asked how did they become drug addicts. He answered that question with three answers: "First, we are living in an age when people are look ing for a kirk or thrill. They will try anything once. Through curiosity many become drug addicts. "Secondly, there are some people who become drug addicts through care lessness of physicians and nurses. The greatest number of physicians and nurses are not responsible for that fact but there are some black sheep in every profession and men and wom en get started upon the drug habit. Morphine is a blessing in the medical profession and only becomes a curse when misused. "Third, we have in our country a drug ring—dealers who are well or ganized and are employing different ways of starting people in ns drug i addicts. The morphine ]>eddler buys ' the morphine at from $3<T to S9O an ounce and then puts it up in smnil packages and sells it at $1 each, mak ing S3OO to $40(1 profit. It is the most vicious and profitable business in the world." Mr. Rollings said in conclusion. Professor A. 8. Webb, who re cently retired as club president when (\ IV. Byrd came into office, was presented a piri in appreciation of his services as president of the dub. The presentation was made by Rev. iLli. Courtney. EXPRESSES THANKS FOR AID GIVEN BY CONCORD CITIZENS Mrs. Lily F. Blanks Sends Expression of Thanks For the Boxes o£ Clothing Sent to the Flood Victims. .In a letter to her son, H. W. Blanks, Concord Y. M. C. A. secre tary, Mrs. Lily F. Blanks. Os Colum bia, La., gives an expression of thanks to the' Concord citizens who contributed clothing for distribution among the flood suffhrers in Columbia. Mrs. Blanks declared the garments fUltd a great want in the lives of the sufferers, whose homes were either swept away, or submerged- ahd were badly damaged as the wild waters of the Mississippi flooded the country side. Numbers of loeal persons sent cloth ing to Mrs. Blanks' son at the Y. M. C. A., who in turn expressed the sup plies directly to Columbia, La., where Mrs. Blanks distributed them among the persons in dire need. Her residence being at the highest pojnt iu Columbia, Mrs. Blanks writes that the water has receded from the house and yard, but in the low parts Os the city the water level is still high. She also stated that the first trains to operate ip and out of the town, will run Friday.

Concord's High School graduating, class of 15)27 which recently received diplomas was "some” class and we don’t mean perhaps, judging from the inventory of the class made by Miss Vera Barnhardt, a member. Parts of the class inventory is as follows aud will give the reader some idea of. the product of the local high school. 'Do not be surprised though to learn that the age of the- class is 961 years and that the weight is 6,- 789 pounds, for it is a truth that can't be avoided. The inventory is as follows: It is pitiful to relate that our class is very aged—not feeble and tottering —but still vigorous in spite of its nine hundred and sixt.v-one years. The number of our years is almost equal to the age of that remarkable man, Methuselah, of Old Testament fame. If all the members were of the same age as our youngest member, the total .would be fourteen times fifty-six. or seven hundred and eighty-four years, or if they were all as old as the oldest member, the total would be nineteen times fifty-six or one thousand and sixty-four. You will realize something of our gigantic proportions when I state that Jlic height of the class is two hun dreds and ninety-one feet. We tower one hundred and twenty-six feet above the steeple of the new First Presby terian Church of this town, our heads being almost among the clouds, while gravity holds our massive feet to the earth. After the revelations which I have been making, it' will probably be no surprise to you to hear that this cluss is very ponderous also —understand that 1 mean not fat, but heavy, weighty. It would tip the scales at almost three and one-half tons, or to be exact six thousand seven hun dred and nineyt-five pounds. Just how many calories a day do you sup pose would be required for a giant of that weight? Now as I have given you some idea of our size as a whpjo. use your imagination, if you plea:*, to decide the -following questions*: What size hat should we wear? On what kind of a' last shouid our shoes be made? What size belt would be required? And of what size should this giant's clothes be? • ' We most emphatically do not be lieve in tile ohl saying. "Gentlemen prefer blondes." On our class the blondes are in the minority. The twenty blondes plus the three Titian blondes could be outvoted at any meeting by the thirty-three brunettes. Naturally there is a difference of opin ion in the class, as to which has the • mos? 1 a blondes ng brunettes, ■the vote standing permanently at twenty-three to thirty-three. The "dlviue spark" is not entirely lacking in our make-up. Some of our members are potential musicians, sing ers. prose writers, poets and artists. Almost every member plays one mu sical iustnunent. from a Jews harp to a concert grand. Others are able to produce harmongms sounds from .several. There are twelve seniors iu the orchestra. Some fiddled, some tooted and the others banged away on the drums. We have some ex cellent singers, also, whom we some times prevail upon to charm the listen ing ear—not of night—but of the pnb tlie. Perhajis it would be better, though, to let you judge of their abil ity for yourselves. Where would the athletics at Con 'enrd Higli School be without the sen iors? There are more than a dozen stars of the first magnitude, who have made their mark in the world by their achievements in athletics, nor are the girls behind, for did not seniors win the championship in basketbnll Jn the school? And now the best is,to come. We are proud of our nine hundred aiid .sixty-one years, of our six thousand Jand seven hundred and ninety-nine pounds avoirdupois, of our two hun dred'and ninety-one feet of longitude— .with latitude unknown—of our tal ents, of our prowess in every kind of ball whether we kick it with our foot •or bump it with the head—of all these things we are inordinately proud. But the thing that uplifts us most is the 'combined weight of our brains, two thousand, six hundred and ninety ounces, or one hundred aud sixty height pounds. Think of the gray matter contained tjiereiu! Os the miles of convolutions of the class’ brains and the’ir depth I was able to get no exact statistics, but I am sure that our teachers will testify to the 'fact that we possess not only quantity but what is far more ncMrisary, the niost astonishing collection of gray .matter of all shades ever brought to gether in One class. Our combined grades will prove this last assertion. Thus closes the inventory of the class of '27. Thrte Have Narrow Escape. By a queer turn of fate, Mr. and ’Mrs. Reece Long and Mrs. W. D. •Barrier escaped death by electrocu tion Wednesday night, shortly after 8 O’clock, when the automobile In which they were riding down West Corbin street, came in contract with a broken liigh-voltagc wire. The cur rent had been ‘‘cut off" from the wire only a few moments before the autq ran into it. Electricians today said that had the power been on when the car came in contact with the broken wire, that all 1 of the occupauts would have met death Instantly. • - \( Johnny: you help me with this problem?" Ofdndpa: "I could, dear, but I don’t-think it would be right." | Johnny: “I don’t .suppose it would, but take a shot at it auy "*s• s® : FOR LOCAL TEAM Contest of Acquirnut Name For Concord But Team I Closes Saturday.—Mail in ,' Suggestions Immediately.

Perry, of the Perry Cloth ■ iitg Company, suggests "The Tex tihts" as a name for the local club. ‘H# writes: "I offer the above name berttnsc I believe it to be thoroughly ■cSaMeteristic with our town, and surVly embodies the terra, which lias meant practically all in bringing Con curd to the thriving city which it is today ; and surely we are proud of otir mills, for which Cabarrus comity is principally known. The MJinstoii- Saleni club calls itself 'Twins,' be cause of tlie combine of two towns— 'High ’oint calls its dub ‘The Point-J .ers', after the name of their city— Greensboro. 'The Patriots,’ because of their sticking close to their patriotic city, and too many numerous like ngmes could bo mentioned, and each stands out for a meaning to each city’s dub.” Mrs. William Moaus suggests the name: "High Balls."._ DINNER FRIDAY TO CONFEDERATE VETS v AT HOTEL CONCORD Shakespeare Harris Joins With jDodson Ramseur Chapter U.
