Orthopaedic Hospital and the treutment accorded it by the State Budget Conimiswion. Judging from rejtorts and letters received by Mr. Kabington, the press of the State gen Mally will be disposed to criticize sharply the action of the commission in thus olighting the hospital. Mr Seelv's hospital at Ashevillo will accommodate about 10 or a" patients when completed. According to the best information available in Gastonia, the blue prints for the building have not ven b.s-n prepared. It will be many months Indole N'i'i.v 's hospital will he able to function at all. In the meantime crippled ilnldnri ad over the State are begging for help and tieatment.

The thing to do is to explain your situation in understandable terms to just as many folks as possibje. If you have a good case and will tell the whole truth about your situation in a simple and convincing manner and give it deserving circulation through the best available advertising medium you are certain to rally tbe public to your sup port." No further word ought to be niTa-SHary to readers nf this as to the "best availa ble advertising medium" in Ihese parts.

When a city reaches a place commanding the heights in an industry, it is well to let the world know it. (Charlotte Observer.

This man has had much ex perience with cooks. The man who is so uglji the ladies WOn't look at him finds consolation Letter Lucij Jeanne Price NEW YORK, Jan. 10. A good , many people who would otherwise have been pretty scornful toward Col. j Kdward 15. H. Green, son of the late i Hetty Green, because he had a Pekin- 1 ese dog worth $200 that a thief cotilu steal, will be softened by the fact that after catching the thief with tli3 dog under his arm, Col. Green bought him a meal. U. S. Navy admirals have receiv ed exceedingly cordial welcomes in various parts of the world at var ious times, often with large commit tees and refreshments and every thing. But no welcoming committee ever put more real heartiness into its job than did that one which greeted Rear-Admiral McCully at Ellis Is land the other day. Seven Russian children composed the committee, and the Admiral was returning from Washington with the news that if hi actually and seriously wanted to adopt and rear the whole seven why, he should go as far as he liked, o far as the V. S. A. was concerned. It was probably because the Xew York immigration officials couldn't quite take such intentions seriously that they had stated at first that the ea ger little Russians would all have to go back to their own upset country. The fact thai the Admiral McCully is a bachelor doesn't seem to arouse any doubts in his own heart as to the success of his family experiment. He collected them all in Russia and they range from three years to 12, five girls and two boys. Now that some one else has achieved courage to sue Town Topics there is new interest in town. It ha-; been tried before but without much success. Mrs. Blanche Bonaparte, : e t xt i o "c oeiume i-upoieun isonaparie, of New York- Newport and Palm brother of the great Napoleon. Mrs. Bonaparte alleges that her health and nervous system have been im paired by Town Topics charges at various times that she was "vain and foolish" with an "undue desire" to have her photograph taken. The information that one-fifth of our industrial and agricultural"' pop ulation depended for its livelihood on foreign trade is an actually startling piece of news to most of us. The great U. S. A. dependent upon any other country in the world or any other people's money? Ha! We should say not! But O. K. Davis, of New York, Secretary of the National Foreign Trade Council, declares that it's true and then proceeds to prov it. Mr. Davis is devoting himself pretty heavily just now to making every business man in the land an- in feeling a profound contempt for jiivttj men. When ressod. you see you can't a man poorly '!! whether he is too poor to dross we! so r eh h (1 s;, t need to. These investigatio'..- don't seem to embarrass the thieves and tiie incom petents, but they at least serve t explain taxes. Worry is foolish, hut it doesn't pay to take things easy if the house de tective is in the neighborhood. One upon a time there was a moth er who thought the bridegroom good enough for her daughter. But the. daughter didn't. Three supreme forms of adhesion: Vulcanizing, the movie clinch, and the way a man sticks to his job in times like these. As we understand it, revival of the War Finance Corporation is expect ed to relieve the farmers, and the consumer's purse. A lot of fellows who have been trying for years to swear off smok ing are bitter opponents of the anti-tobacco crusade. When a season of tight money ar rives, the philosopher doesn't worry about what he owes. But he makes life miserable for his debtors. Pause my friends and drop a tear; John Barleycorn lies buried here. By day he lies here out of sight, but he gets up and walks at night. predate the importance of going to the convention to be held by the Council in Cleveland next May, and he is carrying his figures with him all the time ready to prove anything. Moreover, "Every industry in the country exports some part of its fin ished products," he says, "and pretty nearly everyone of them imports some essential raw materials." Oh, j well, as someone said sometime pre vious to this, "It's a small world, af ter all." Brandon Tynan has stepped into the role of "The Vagabond" in George Cohan's melodramatic farce, "The Tavern." Arnold Daly has been playing this part, which is the lead of the piece, and has made a definite success of it. No reason has been given for the change. Mr. Daly sim ply states that Mr. Cohan has bee.i good enough to relea.se him and that he is going to revive one of his o'd successes. "Big Bill" Edwards, Collector of Customs, has a cheery easy going n:anner, but when he issues . an edict, there is little use in further discus sion. So discovered the theatrical managers and ticket speculators who stormed his office the other day. They wanted to know gaspingly if he really me,ant what he said in a letttr calling attention to the law compell ing ticket brokers to stamp their names and addresses on the back of tickets, together with the sale price, the tax, and the total of the two. "I certainly did." said Mr. Edwards. "The law has been in existence foe a long time. It is now going to be enforced." "But but well, when must we start this?" cried the crowd. "Immediately, and the penal provis ions will be invoked," and Mr. Ed wards had entirely ended the con ference. One of the sad things about bein,r separated from one's wife, according to some men, is that it is expensive. Alimony or support added to what they have to pay strangers to do their cooking cuts deeper into their checkboks than the old "partner ship" arrangement did. But now along comes the New York Tax de partntent with a decision that a man who does not live with his wife can't take the $2,000 income tax exemp tion. "Only $1,000 allowed in that case," it says. "The alimony or al lowance you have to pay your wife comes under personal expenses and is not deductible." VOn SALE: Oliver typewriter No. 9, new rearspring bumper nickel plated, scholarship in T. C.
