Marvin, of the Gastonia Co ca Cola Bottling Company, has in his pos session a very interesting souvenir that was presented to him in Statesville last week by Mr. F. L. Johnson, proprietor of the Statesville Coca-Cola Bottling Company, who recently returned frost France, where he was engaged in Y. M. C. A. work with the American expedition ary forces. It is a bottle which was giv en Mr. Johnson by a firm at Gibraltar, and its peculiarity is that ,it contains a spherical glass ball which closes the bot tle when filled with any carbonated fluid, taking the place of the crown. The pres sure of the gas holds the ball against a rubber ring inside the neck of the bottle, and it ran be opened by pushing the ball down with a pencil or other small plunger- When turned on one side there is an interior projection which holds the ball baek and allows the contents to be poured out. Xi Stuart W. Cramer, of Charlotte, presi dent of the Loray Mills, baa been ap pointed a member of the new advisory tax board at Washington. The appointment was made by Commissioner Daniel W. Roper, of the internal revenue burean.
