No Mouniug of the Itar Editor Karris of the llijrh Point News, Who embarked or, the Great Adventure just after a celebration in his honor by the Rotary Club of his home town, we should say, had granted in his death the prayer of Tenny son's "Crossing the Bar." "Sunset and evening bell," comrade. StroWg in the faith that in the dark there was no terror for you. And that in the light that came after it you found the arms of a Friend open to receive yoi to Himself, we bid you farewell net in sadness but in a glad confidence that you have found peace and rest. And, member* of the High Point Rotary Club, the Advance salutes you and shares with you what must be your solemn glad ness in that your expression of appreciation of the work and worth of your fellow townsman was not delayed. Having just about run his tongue out this week in his ef fort to keep up with the news, the editor, business manager and star reporter of The Ad vance is sticking to his office to day and trusting to his faithful telephone to keep him in touch with the day's local news. If he didn't take a day of this sort now and then one would never, be able to say that his desk was | not a mere pile of newspapers and rubbish. When a fella' needs a friend ?headline on page ^advertise ment in our favorite-newspaper: That's-us. We need quite a lot of friends right now. Get ac quainted with our subscription contest campaign manager and he will explain to you how you may help us-most. And, take it from us and him, too, we're strong on reciprocation. Y.ou , won't lose by beinj? our friend, and you may win that Velio or Ford. The Hickory Record is con siderably worked up over the proposal to move Lenoir llhyno College from Hickory to Gas-j tonia. The Advance hardly thinks that its Western North Carolina neighbor need give it self any concern in this matter. Elizabeth City extended consid erable effort and offered every possible inducement for the re moval of Chowan College from Murfreesboro to Elizabeth City, but the college stayed put. Names of candidates for The Advance circulation /campaign prizes will appear in Saturday's issue of this newspaper. One who is considering eiilerinp this campaign should make de cision promptly. If all the boys and girls learn "Safety First" while they are young, this old world ought to be safer to live in, and the fire loss ought to be greatly de creased within the next few years. It's a wise woman who knows her own wife-deserter would ap pear to be the moral of the fa mous Kawls' tooth trial at Hen derson this week. Five short weeks now in which to decide the winner of the first prize in The Advance circulation campaign. v Sometimes it seems that the woman who has the most ex pensive wardrobe wears the ,/ewest clothes. SCOUTS MOBILIZE AUTHORS TO FIGHT DIME NOVELS AFTER years of undisputed sway, the behind - the - barn type of fiction for boys is facing strong and determined opposi tion. A gift of $100,000 to the National Council of tlie Hoy Scouts is to be used to drive out pot-I toilers, ditne novels, and all the mass oi Dead Eye-Dick-and-his-kin cheap thrillers. The most important method used will l>e the substitution of go<*l fic tion, written by the l?est of Ameri can authors, for tltc poorly written and essentially cheap hack written story. The first step will be mado by building "Boy's Life" into a national publication, reaching beyond the present limits of Boy Scout membership. Discussing the $100,000 gift, Ch'ef Scout Executive James E. West said: "The time has gone by when writ ing for boys can be hack writing. The modern boy spots things worth while instinctively. You can not fool him about 'Treasure Island,' for example. He knows it is a good book. "It is obligatory among those who would l?c leaders among boys to evolve a writing output that will be safe from the standpoint of tlie grownups and interesting?intensely interesting?from the standpoint of the boy. Writing {rtf boys is an occupation that properly challenges the genius of the entire writing fraternity. "The general proposition on tlie basis of which we arc working is that the boy is naturally a construc tor?a builder. Moreover, modern science opens up vistas down which a clever writer can travel with the boy reader, encountering thrill s enough to satisfy the most exacting Juvenile awliencc. "We hr.'T already arranged with Arthur H. Reeve for a series of Craig Kennedy stories to be pub lished in 'Boy's Life.' 'The Radio Detective' is to be the title. Foe this series modern science will sup- . ply tlie facts, while Reeve an<Tthi?^ boys will supply the thrills." HONORS MEMORY ! OF AUTO VICTIMS (Rio Has Memorial Day for Those Unfortunates Who Are Killed in That (-ity at - Kate of Five a Day. I IIlo d" Janeiro, Sopt. 28.?A spe cial Memorial Day for the vIoIIiiih of automobile accident* wan celebrated In thin city recently with such popu lar Interest and support that very {probably it will become an annual event. The Idea of an automobile victims' memorial day sr?'W out of a proposal,, probably made by ho me wag, to cele-, brate a "chauffeurs' day" in homage to the powerful labor organization which protects the interests of the automobile drivers. Hut owing to: the largo number of automobile acci dents. with their toll of killed and maimed, the automobile drivers, as a class, are not beloved by the people. The public protest that was imme diately and loudly raised was organ ized into a. day of homage to the auto drivers' victims. ? .Mass for the souls of the automo bile victims was celebrated in the church of tfao Francisco de. l'aulo. one of the largest temples In this city, and the crowd which attended, consisting for the most part of rela tives and friends of those who had been killed by automobiles, filled the igreat building to overflowing. Wreaths of flowers were spread 'on the graves of automobile victims | and other flowers were placed on 'some of' the "death corners" of | streets where automobile accidents 'have been frequent. All of these ceremonies were viewed with great public Interest, 'and called forth much press com ! ment. I Although official statistics con cerning automobile accidents have not been published, It Is estimated that an average of Ave persons are 'killed or Injured by automobiles In thla city every day. Quack Doctors Arc Thriving in Siberia Vladivostok, Siberia, Sept. 28.? Quack doctors have made their ap pearance In almost all the villages of Siberia, offering to cure any of the Jills flesh Is hrlr to, and some of their alleged remedies are marvellous. In the Nlkolftk district a doctor has appeared who undertaken the cure of consumption in all stages. As consumption In rather widespread In ithe district bis patients are many, .and the man is rapidly making a for tune. His remedy Is a concoction of [cabbages and milk boiled together | for some hours by a special "secret process." Other and more dangerous quacks [are making fortunes for the moment, I but the situation Is such that the au thorities have decided to step In and protect the credulous people.
