Txrtt mro-xtCG!lD, MARSHALL; NORTH CAROLINA 11 "Y': 1 "Mighty Pretty Feet" That's what many young men have said when gazing at a neat pair of Dorothy Dodd low cuts. ' Cinderella won a prince with her dainty slipper. American princes are being captured by modern Cindcrcllas everyday. We are not running a matrimonial bureau but we are helping Dan Cupid a lot WE GUARANTEE style, comfort arid satisfactory wear. We give you more for your money in shoes at $3.50 than anyone else.

THE MEXICAN SAVAGE If you are in sympathy with Villa, the Mexican rebel, take about three nHnutes to read this story published in the Greensboro Daily Tuesday. It will help you to understand this fellow who is pushing for the capture of the Mexican throne. His name is properly pronoun ced "Vee-yab," and his hair is kinky, reports Alexander Powell, in an article in the New York Times, after an interview with the man who is making so much. news in Mexico. Stockily built, of medium height not over five feet ten, perhaps "with ' the chest and shoulders of a prize fighter and the most perfect bullet-shaped head I have ever seen." His skin is the color of a well- smoked meerschaum, a smal black mustache serves to mask a mouth ' which is cruel, even when it is smiling. The most attractive feature of the face is the eyes, which are large' and b r i 1 1 i a nt and extraordinarily piercing; "indeed, they are not really eyes at all, but gimlets, which seem to bore into your very soul. After I had looked into them I began to understand the deadly, fear in which his subordinates stand of him. " . His methods in this parttcular had been thus illustrated only, the ' day before: . , , . :. V; Villa had ridden: over to the railway Station .'to. superintend the departure' of '- a punitive ex pedition wfiiclfc h' was Pushing sou to OTiuacr TT iQ cnecK me de predations It Miximq' Castillo's bandits. ' ' Owing to some mishap ia starting "After taking- a few angry turifelSf up and', down the etatioh fcl. across, to' 1 rid, jell. n. Villa strode Jhkt of transport r-;J6ose ''b$ heayy; :pved the ' muz?l3'of the weapon in that startled of ficial's face. "If that train isn't out of the station in five minutes," he snar led. "I'll blow your head off." "But,- general," expostulated the trembling official, I'm not re sponsible for the delay. The engine's broken down." "That doesn't concern me, saia viiia, coldly. "I'm not an engineer I'm a soldier. If that train doesn't move in five minut es you'll be dead." The train moved. Lined against the wall of the room in which Villa received the journalist was a row of canvas sacks, each marked "$1,000." There were thirty of these. A dozen Mauser rifles, two or three cavalry saddles, a half empty case of ammunition, a baby's chair and a sewing machine were other objects that caught the eye; and on the table were Villa's pistol, in easy reach, and his field glasses. Sitting timidly on the edge of a chair in the back of the room was a plain-faced little woman with a black shawl drawn over her head, peassant- fashion Villa's wife, an illite rate woman, dressed ' in cheap stuffs, splendid rings blazing from every finger. AH sorts of men were found in the entourage of the constitu tionalist soldier; a Jewish-look ing American artilleryman, a Prussian baron, son of the Ger man field marshal who trained the Turkisharmy: younir Gari baldi, grand-son of the- liberator of Italy. Villa's advisers, culti vated, polished men, for the most parVipijinytof them educat ed at Harvfu?! and , Oxford and theorbdi&ii "at home m the best society &the ;world's' .'capi tals, stantat in band like mes senger boys "i'nt tbe- -presence of thi3 disagre':ibie colored perpon. ; Tbe.cortc, pondent' told Villa that his casuiiyhabit of -causing funerals wi;ot setting the best with simps .izers in the 'United States, and that if he would keep it up just a little longer he would achieve a unanimous unpoplarity in this country. Villa, said all that he had killed needed killing, and badJy ; but he had attended to most of these, and from that on would be more circumspect. That was the day before he ord ered Diaz's messenger shot. "It made a most unpleasant mess in the garden," adds Mr. Powell. ' Those who seek the abysmal brute, in order to worship; ap parently need seek no further. He should be of commanding size, of course; but what would you? Men do not grow larce in Mexico. , He fits the dark hour. The occasion seems to call for blood letting; very well, Villa will let blood as cheerfully as squeeze a grape. Well, so have men struggled eisewnere in the world, and at other times building freedom and civilization and enlighten ment and peace, upon a structure of corpses, and agony, and blood-soaked soil, as that of Torreon. But at this hour of the world's advanc it seeins a ' terrible price to pay, even for the greatest blessings. And Mexico's day of blessing is apparently far in the future. Sims Toll BiH Passes House By Large i r Majority. 1 ,o;:posed by speaker Clark and Mr. Underwood. Mr. Clark spoke in opposition to the bi and closed his speech in these words: iNow may the Uod of our fathers who nerved 3,000.000, backwoods Americans to fling their gage of battle into the face of the mightest monarch in world, who guided the hand of Jefferson in writing the charac tor, of liberty, who sustained Washington and his ragged and starving army amid the awfu norrors at valley Forge and gave them complete victory on the blood stained heights of York town, May He lead members to vote so as to prevent this stupen dous folly this unquestionable degradation of the American re public." Speaker Clark had finished As he walked from his place, the house arose en masse democrats republicans and progressives a- like and cheered him. When order could be restored Repres entative Adamson took the floor to clpse the debate. But when the vote was taken it stood 247 to 186 in favor of the bill. . Congressmen Webb and Gudger voted for the bill. It vo s a test of the . inflnence and strength of President Wilson and the outcome of the fight indicates that his grip on the house cannot easily be broken.
