With this Issue The Gasette enters npon its thirty-flrst year, today's pa nee helne- Vol. XXXI. No. 1. Estab- llshed in 1880, It has gone steadily , on without a break In Its publication and has, we are convinced, steadily Sained in favor with Gaston coun- tlans. The past year has been one of the most successful In the paper's history and we are expecting 1910 to , he still better. To all our friends. . both in Gaston and elsewhere, we ' take this occasion to say that we are grateful for your support and sym pathy and shall continue to use our best endeavors to merit both. It la a matter of pleasure to us to be able to state that our most important change during 1909. that or placing oar subscription list on a strict cash-In-adv&nce basis, has been well re ceived. It had been planned to publish the paper, beginning with today's Issue with several changes but delay in re ceiving shipments of new ad type paper, a new blanket for our press and other things necessary for the " purpose, force us to postpone this for a week or two yet. In the future The Gasette will be six columns, eight pages In size. This shape, we be lieve, will be pleasing to our readers. One Important change contemplated Is effective with to-day's issue. That Is theYemovaI of all advertising from the first page. It has been our desire to take this step for quite a while but the four-page form of the paper rendered it Impossible hereto fore. None of our readers, we think, will object to this change. For each and every one of The Ga zette's family of friends we wish a most prosperous and happy New Year. It will be such, we assure you. in so far as our efforts to give you a good, clean, reliable, newsy newspa per are able to count. Above AH Other i -i- v.

DRUGGISTS When In a Hurry Phone 16 information that we are and have since Its Inception felt a keen inter est in this organization and are at all times ready and willing to do every thing within our power to aid the ladles in the noble work they are doing. The association has no better friend in town than The Gazette and we believe the general reading pub lic has been lead to see and know this by reading the columns of this paper. Our columns have always been open to them for free use to any extent aesirea tor lunnenng th'eir interests. In view of the fact that the ladies 4 have taken the one small paragraph contained in the write-up of the per formanee that could be construed at all as adverse criticism as applying to them personally, we take pleasure in explaining that the assertion that there was apparent a lack of prepar ation and training on the part of some of the participants was meant to aDDir solely to tne man ana woman, we do not know meir who came here for the of doing the training whose hands, we were believe, was committed names, purpose and in lead to A WORD TO THK WOMEN. It is a matter of keen regret to The Gazette that the ladles of the Gastonia Woman's Betterment Asso ciation should have taken offense at our little criticism of the presenta tion of "Alice in Wonderland" in Friday's issue of this paper. Noth ing was farther from our purpose than to cast any, even the slightest, reflection whatever on the good wo men who, at much personal sacrifice, laboring to raise the necessary funds to carry on the work of the association, or on the young people who took part In the play. Though accused by the ladies of being out of sympathy with the movement and with going out of our way to knock the performance and reduce the at tendance, thus causing financial loss to them, we nevertheless proffer the this entire part of the work. Inas much as they were getting half the receipts we believed they should have done their level best to make the performance as near perfect as posl-ble. While the matter is under discus sion we take advantage of the op portunity to state candidly our be lief that any local organization makes a serious mistake when it. al lows traveling trainers to come In, get up these performances on short notice, get the full benefU of the In fluence of the good women of the town and walk off with half the gate receipts when the ladles themselves could, without outside aid and with perhaps less work and worry, get up and present to the public a better en tertainment and would have all the receipts kept at home. We candidly believe in fact past experience has demonstarated it that the public generally would patronize a strictly all-home talent performance more liberally than they will one, half the receipts from which they know are going to outside professionals who are out simply to make money. We desire it distinctly understood that The Gazette is not presuming to dictate or even suggest to the Wo man's Betterment Association what It should or should not do but is aim ply expressing here its opinion, which it knows is shared by some at least of the members of the local betterment association. The implied accusation lodged against us by some of the ladies, that The Gazette made the criticism with malice aforethought and with the purpose of reducing the attendance at the second performance we pass by without even a denial. As a final word we say to the la dies of the Gastonia Woman's Better ment Association that our columns are always open to them free of charge for giving publicity to any plan or performance they may inaug urate for the furtherance of the as sociation and that the work they are doing has our unqualified endorse ment and we are ever ready to do gladly and willingly anything in our power to help them in any way.

Nature and Functions of the So Called Air Bladders. Leaning over the pumper of some old stone breakwater or pier bead and watching the fish playing shout in the clear green depths below, perhaps the last thought which Is likely to occur to any of us is tbiit we are looking on at a really astonishing thing. That a fish is able to propel itself through the wa ter in any desired direction Is in no way surprising, but that It cau change its level at will, rising or falling with out the use of Its 8ns, and Instantly assuming a horizontal or vertical posi tion, according to the mood or need of the moment. Is a fact that a little re flection will soon develop Into prime motive for wonder. For it Is clear that the flsh must be able at will to vary Its weight In rela tion to the water It displaces. When It sinks to the bottom it must have sud denly rendered itself heavier than- the medium It Inhabits; each time it rises to the surface like a released cork, bead first, tail pointing almost vertical ly downward. It must' not only have transformed Itself Into something lighter than the water, but must have become lighter In Its fore parts than in Its tail. The mystery, for such it undoubtedly Is on a casual survey, says the London Chronicle, resolves Itself Immediately we come to study the nature and func tions of the so called air bladder in fishes. By this contrivance all these Intricate movements of the fish are brought about. The bladder, however, contains not air. as la commonly supirased. but fas, which Is discharged or regenerated by certain organs of the fish, according to whether upward or downward move ment Is necessary: also either the whole length of the bladder or only its front or rear portion cun be Inflated. Thus the fish Is able to swim level or. by altering it's center of gravity,: to raise or lower either bead or tall at win. - -. ; -.v;,.-,' 8ingular Services of Sheep. , In the northern part of India sheep are put to a use unthought of In Euro pean or American countries, . They are made to serve as beasts of burden. The mountain paths along the foothills of the' Himalayas are so precipitous that the sheep, more sure footed than larger beasts, are preferred as burden carriers. The load for esch abeep Is from sixteen, to twenty pounds. The sheep are Criven from villal to vil lage, with the wool still growing, and In each town the farmer shears as much wool as he can sell there and loads the sheep wtth the grain which he receives In exchange. After the Bock hat been sheared he turns It homeward, each sheep having on its back a small baa; containing the) pur- I chased grain. A Witty Response to the Toast Kur ' Countrywomen" at a Banquet In : Paris When He Was . Secretary of Legation In the French Capital. '' By official ' proclamation ' 'resident Johnson set apart the first Thursday of December. 1803. as a day of na tional thanksgiving." -The American residents and visitors hi Paris deemed ft an occasion to be celebrated with more than usuti. ceremony, j oe re sult .was that at 8 o'clock on the even ing of the 7th of December some 203 of pur countrymen sat down, to a dinner In the spacious dining room of the Grand hotel in Paris, then regard ed by travelers aa the most elegant public dining hall In Europe. vv After a succession of speeches the Chairman closed the entertainment with a toast to "Our Countrywomen", and asked Colonel John : Day. then secretary of legation In Paris, to re spond to It As this was probably the first public speech Mr. Hay had ever made and though nothing be then said could possibly add any luster. to. his subsequent career. It may justly be said that It was more successful than the first public effort In oratory either of &herldau or of Beacoustield. He replied in part as follows: . : "My Countrymen land I would my my countrywomen but that the for mer word "embraces the latter "when ever opportunity offers)- I cannot ut: ' derstand why 1 should bare been call ed npon to respond to this toast of all others, having nothing but theo retical Ideas upon the subject to be treated one. iu fact. 1 must be pre sumed never to bare bandied.

Great laughter. 1 am not con- scions. bowertr, of having Imbibed any such wisdom at the feet of this matrimonial Gamaliel as should justly entitle me to be heard among the elders. "So I am Inevitably forced to the conclusion that these' husbands cannot trust each other's discretion. The se crets otJtbe prison house are too Im portant to be trusted to one of the prisoners. So Ignorance of the matter in hand has come to be held an abso lute prerequisite when any one Is to be sacrificed to the exigencies of this toast. "I really do not see why this should be so. it Is useless for husbands to attempt to keep this thin veneering of a semblance of authority. . The sym bols of government they still retain de ceive nobody. They may comfort t hem fort themselves with the assurance of some vague, invisible supremacy, like that of the spiritual mikado or the grand llama, but the true tycoon Is the wife. A witty and profound observer the other day said. 'Every husband doubtless knows he Is master In bis own bouse, but be also knows his neighbor's wife Is master Id hew.' Laughter and cheers.

They will recognize the fact thai, after all. you are their fellow creatures, and you can be; very nweful to them In many little ways.

"You hud better come down grace fully, and. above all, let no feeling of discovered Inferiority betray you Into evil speaking-of the domestic powers.

The possibility of boiling and f reel ing water at the same time In the lab oratory la one of the most tnterertlug developments of modern science. ' The temperature t which water 'boils de pends simply on the air pressure above its surface-at the time. If there Is high pressur the' wafer has to be made a good deal hotter to boll than at low pressure. ; r On mountains where the air pressure Is a good deal lower than at sea level water bolls easily at low temperature. In cooking vegetables that require a certain degree of beat and where the water boils before that degree Is reach ed the vegetables will uot get done. They consequently have to be put into n-closed boiler so that the generated steam will create enough pressure for the water to boll at or beyond the re quired temperature. . In the expert-. mental proof of this fact water. Is placed In a vessel and the air ex bausted from above the surface of the Water, , As the process of pumping goes on the wnter will violently boil. the steam congealing on the sides, of the. exhaust vessel.
