Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Wickert, of In
dianapolis, Indiana, announce the mar
riage of their daughter, Della E. Hart,
to Mr. Horace A. Kelly, of Pinehurst,
N. C. The marriage occurred at Ben-
nettsville, S. C., on Saturday, Febru
ary 2nd. This very popular young
couple both attended the Pinehurst
high school until the date of their
marriage, when Mr. Kelly accepted a
position with the Pinehurst Depart
ment Store, Mrs. Kelly continuing
with her class until the end of the
spring term when they will begin
housekeeping here. Mrs. Kelly has
spent several winters in Pinehurst
with her mother, and is very popular
with those who have come to know
her, and she is much admired for her
beauty and brightness of disposition.
Mr. Kelly is the second son of Mr.
and Mrs. Horace Kelly, and is very
popular with all who know him. Best
wishes and congratulations are ex
tended to this young couple.
Much interest centers around the
meetings of the Parent Teachers As
sociation, and many plans are being
made for the benefit of the school.
The monthly meeting for March will
be held at the school auditorium on
Wedesday the 19th. The following
are some suggestions for the Parent-
Teacher Clubs to benefit students:
“The work of the Parent-Teacher
association is for the benefit of the
student rather than the upkeep of the
school.
“It is a mistaken ideal for the as
sociation to do the work of the city.
“A liason between teacher and par
ent for the benefit of the pupil is the
true purpose of the P. T. A.
“Therefore any deed that helps a
child get his education with the least
cause for notice of his lack of materi
al equipment is a great service of the
association.
“In some grammar schools there is
an exchange of clothing, effected very
tactfully and gently; in some in
stances lunches are so offered that one
child is never cognizant of the fact
that his next door neighbor may be
the receipient of the P. T. A. treat.
“And so the Girls" high school hopes
to work out a plan whereby girls,
whose families are in distress because
of illness or sorrow, may be able to
finish their course of study with the
aid of a few dollars to enable them
to buy the necessary books, perhaps to
furnish a little emergency car-fare, or
to help with a graduation dress at
the last minute.
“Just a fund that may Jielp a girl to
pass over a crisis without loss of
pride or loss of joy as a member of
the student body; that may indeed,
mean a diploma, a fitting start toward
the beginning of a useful life.”
The ladies Sunday School class of
the Presbyterian Sunday School, will
organize at an early date and do the
work of a real organized class which
is one of the real needs in the religious
life of Pinehurst. Mrs. Nette Thomp
son and Mrs. R. Pyron are associate
teachers and they, with the members
of this class, will welcome all the la
dies of Pinehurst in this class each
Sunday morning from 10 to 11, dur
ing the Sunday School hour.
The weekly prayer service held at
the community hall on Wednesday
evening at 7:30 are greatly enjoyed
by those who attend.
Mr. H. W. Sugden after a delight
ful visit of several days to his many
friends, left Pinehurst Thursday eve
ning, for a business trip to Raleigh
and on to New York, where he sails
March 22nd, for England.
Prof. Cason spent Thursday and
Friday in Raleigh where he attended
the State Teachers’ Association.
Mrs. Robert Gould Shaw is spend
ing several weeks with his son, Mr.
Gould Shaw III., who has purchased
the Cook place, and will be at home
to his friends after April 1st.
Polo was very interesting for the
week-end, a round Robin being play
ed at the fair ground Saturday after
noon between the Sandhill team,
Charlotte and the Greens. Each team
playing 8 chukkas, 12 chukkas in all
being played, with the following score:
Sandhill 9, Charlotte 6, The Greens 4.
About 20 polo fans from Charlotte
were present, Mr. Darr coming over
from Winston-Salem. Mr. Gould
Shaw III., the latest member of the
local polo club also played. About
35 polo guests were entertained at
tea at the club after the game.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Pyron spent Sun
day and Monday at Camden, attend

FORD CARS AS BANDIT CHASERS
Armored Ford cars as bandit chas
ers are the latest police inovation.
General Smedley D. Butler, Philadel
phia’s dynamic commissioner of public
safety, is the man who introduced
them.
Before he took office a few weeks
back, the Philadelphia city council
voted General Butler $5,000 with
which to purchase an automobile for
his personal use. But when salesmen
for high-priced cars appeared and
tried to interest him, he made it plain
that he intended to spend the money
in purchasing small, light cars for
use as bandit chasers by the police de
partment.
The Ford runabout was his choice
and it wasn’t long before an enter
prising Ford salesman had a car for
the General’s inspection. Now the
Philadelphia police have six of these
armored Ford cars and under General
Butler’s plan this number will shortly
be augumented until there will be
ninety such bandit chasers in service.
The entire shell of the body is lined
with 1-8-inch special steel and the
space between the armor plating and
the outside of the car is packed with
loose cotton and coarse hair to retard
the velocity of bullets. Armor plate
also covers the cowl and runs up as
high as the lower portion of the wind
shield. The upper portion is in two
sections of bullet proof glass and
wind-wings have been provided on
either side, these also bullet proof
glass.
The Ford engines are specially
equipped to afford increased speed,
and tests made show some interesting
results. In one test to show accelera
tion and power developed for hill
climbing, a mile was covered in one
minute and thirty-two seconds from a
standing start. On a country road
the car attained a speed of more than
sixty miles an hour and in the city
street test covered 2,828 feet at a
speed of approximately seventy miles
an hour.
Ford cars have been in use by police
departments all over the country for
years and recently there has been a
rapidly increasing tendency in the
larger cities to use them in place of
motorcycles since they are less con
spicuous, and afford greater protec
tion and comfort. Portland, Ore., is
one of the latest cities to adopt the
Ford cars to replace mot^i’cycles, and
now has twenty-three of them in oper
ation. Cleveland Heights, 0., and Cin
cinnati are other cities which have re
cently joined the Ford ranks; the ar
mored Ford as used in Philadelphia,
however, is General Butler s idea.
If some of the women we know
were to run for president they’d save
their hats and throw their powder
puffs in the ring.
The sales made by club women on
the curb market at Wadesboro during
one week amounted to about as much
as the county pays towards the salary
of the home agent.
There are scrub fertilizers just as
there are scrub cattle a>id the only ad
vantage is a cheap purchase price,

WHY FAMILY EXPENSES
ARE LIKE
AUTOMOBILES
Money in the home takes the placs of
gas” in the car. It furnishes the irotive
power. The pace you travel denends on
the amount you “feed” the engine!
It needs a steady hand at the wheel, a sure foot oii
the gas and brake, in the home just as in the car. In fast
spending, as in speeding, there is danger.
The cars that give the best service are those that
are driven carefully at moderate speed.
The family that gets along best is the one that saves
consistently, spends wisely, steers carefully to reach the
goal of better conditions.
