AT THE HIP BONE. $1,000.44 FOR DINNER. BIG SPENDING DIFFICULT. ROOSEVELT’S LAST WORDS. Paris announces that the waist lino of fashionable ladies now defi nitely starts just above the hip bone. From that point up the back is to be entirely uncovered in the evening’. Also brilliant col ors will be worn. A woman thus dressed will look as silly as a bird of paradise with all the feathers plucked off the back, but she won’t knew it. Theatrical people each pay $1,000.-1-1 for a dinner—forty-four cents for the food, one thousand dollars for the Actors’ Fund. Forty-four cents for one dinner seems cheap to a prosperous actor. It seems a good deal to the mother of five children whose husband earns $4 a day. At forty-four cents a meal, that family would need each day $9.24 for food alone, leaving a deficit of S5.24 a day, to say nothing of rent and clothing. Those that call $3 a day high wages should try liv ing and keeping a family on that sum. Engineers suggest filling in nine sefuare miles of upper New York Bay, half to belong to New Jersey, half to New York. The work von Id cost $400,000,000, and the ’and would be worth five thousand illion dollars. Tie idea would be to plan a new modem city, sidewalks on the sides of buildings, playgrounds and roads above buildings, land i g places for airplanes, etc. There are thousands of chances to spend public money for im provements that would pay for themselves ten times over, but it is hard for us to appropriate large sums, unless other nations start catting each other’s throats. Then we become generous, “easy marks,” pour out our billions and buy forgain hatted with them. Glar.d grafting may not help foolish old men to become as young and silly as they used to be, but such grafting may be useful to farmers. Dr. Voroncff, scientist, experimenting on a flock of 3,000 sheep in Algiers, proved to French scientists that grafting an addi tional gland on each young ram increased the average weight of the animal by 19 pounds, and added half a pound to the weight of the fleece. “No man a hero to his valet,” did not apply to Theodore Roose velt. His valet writes for Collier’s Weekly about the last days of his master as a convinced hero wor shiper. Alone with Roosevelt at the moment of his death, the valet says Roosevelt’3 last words were, “Please put out the light.” Theodore Roosevelt was tired, his heart was broken by the death of his son, Quentin. Goethe’s last words were. “More light.” They were appropriate, for lew men have contributed more light to the human race than Goetho contributed. J The question for us all is this: Does death mean only “putting out the light,” or does it meau for u3 all "MORE” LIGHT”? French births are diminishing, and French population is increas ing, which is the right idea. In stead of having many new babies, half or two-thirds of them dying, the French, who understand health, keep alive those that are born. Wages are up, taxes are down, Government receipts are up, the cost of lining is down. President Coalidge doesn’t claim the erixik. He says: “No government can make prosperity.” One thing is certain. Presi dent Coolidge has not prevented rising prosperity from PT And that is something in Uusa day3. ADMINISTRATORS NOTICE Having qualified as administrator in North Carolina.
