the police, confessed that he and
Jim Richmond, another negro, were
walking along the road as the Ham

out his knowing what was about to
happen Richmond whipped out a
pistol and shot right into the front
of the, car, crashing out the wind,

them he (Richmond) shot at it
again. Then the car began to wob

Bryant says they both then made a
dash for a near-by woods and from
there they went on into another

says they had both been drinking

To Introduce Bill
For Purchase Of
Mammoth Cave
(By Associated Press)
Louisville, Ky., March 4. Unless
the government acts soon a will, with
a strange request; may crevent the
purchase of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky,
as a national park. This was pointed
out by Stephen T. Mather, director of
national parks, in a report recently
Issued. A move for the purchase of
the Cave as a National park Is now
under way and has been urged upon
congress for action.
"The 3,000 acres sought for the
park purposes at the entrance to Mam
moth Cave," says Mr. Mather's report,
are in private hands under the terms
of a famous will which dictated that
the land must be held in trust until
such time as the death of the last of
the named heirs occurs, when It is
to be sold at public auction In its
entirety.
"Because of the advar.ged age of
two surviving heirs, it may be expected
that it will not be long before this
world-famed cavern will be sold under
the hammer,- and unleemie. -weans
are found to take It over nationally
at that time either through Congres
sional approprlaion or through dona
tion of some public-spirited Individual
or organization, the cave will be lost
for all time as a national park poa
sibility and will continue to be priv
ately exploited."
"I trust Congress will make an
ception In its evident, policy not to
utilize public funds in the acquisi
tion of park areas by purchase of the
Great Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
Harold Lloyd In
"Now or Never"
Vulgar is a word that has never
been applied to the comedies of
Harold Lloyd, the newest of which,
"Iow or Never," is showing at tho
Acme Theatre today. This Is in
deed a distinction and a deserved
one.
Harold Lloyd believes it Is not
necessary to be vulgar to be funny,
In fact, he does not see fun In
vulgarity, and, furthermore, he be
lieves there are enough people in
the world who think the same to
warrant making clean comedies.
That his faith in the wholesome
tastes of the public is Justified is
proven by his marvelous rise to the
top of a ladder where the going
was not only steep, but crowded.
After little more than a year of
special two-reel comedy features,
Harold Lloyd Is recognized as the
screen's cleverest and most talented
comedian.
"Now or Never" Is Harold Lloyd's
first comedy of a new series under
a new contract with Associated Ex
hibitors. As usual, he is supported
by beautiful Mildred Davis. A new
assistant Is four-year-old Anna Mny
Bilson, a child tor whom a great
future is predicted.

Constitutionality Of
Woman Suffrage
Washington, March 4. The Women
suffrage or Nineteenth amendment to
the constitution was challenged' In the
Supreme Court in proceedings Insti
tuted by Charles 8. Falrcloth of New
York, for himself and In behalf of the
American ConslUtutlor.al League, to
enjoin the Secretary of State from Is
suing and the Attorney General from
enforcing a proclamation declaring
the ratification of the amendment, acd
by Oscar Loser and other citlxens of
Maryland, constituting an ' organisa
tion known as the "Maryland; League
for State Defense.". The former pro
ceedings were based on the ground
that the amendment had , not , been
validly- adopt ; and -the- tatter- that
the amendment was unconstitutional.
The Federal courts in ths District
of Columbia and the State courts in
Maryland, where the cases, respec
lively, were originally brought ruled
against the objections to ths amend
ment. In the oral arguments In ths
Supreme Court in the Falrcloth case,
the government contended that ths
Secretary of State having issued ths
ratification proclamation there was
nothing to restrain, and that ths case
therefore became moot, not present-
leg a controversy for Judicial decision.
In the Leser case, the government
acknowledged that the proceedings
had been Instituted by voters who bad
sufficient Interest to warrant their
presence In court, but that ths issue
raised was political, one tor decision
by Congress or for settlement In some
other avenue than by adjudication In
tho courts. While the State of Mary
land had refused to ratify the amend
ment, it was pointed1 out the Stats
also refused to question Its constitu
tionality. The power of Congress to propose
the amendment to the State legisla
tures for ratification was assailed by
Its oponents on the ground that ths
people reserved to themselves in their
State constitutions the right to reg
ulate suffrage, and that the Federal
government legally could not have
anything whatever to do with chang
ing the "sovereign power" embodied
in suffrage qualifications.
The people were not setting up sn
amending agency for their own des
truction." the opponents contenaea,
asserting that in limiting Federal
jurisdiction the "sovereign people did
not intend that their agents conducting
theFederal Government, should have
the power to destroy them. Follow
ing this line of argument It was argu
ed that the people alone by amend
ments to their 8tate constitutions or
by a constitutional convention called
for the purpose could extend or
abridge their sovereignty.
The Fifteenth or race su rage amend
ment, adopted after the war between
the states, was not a precenent. It
was asserted, by theopponects because
H was an expression of the "results of

people, for the "reconstruction" of the
Nation, by extending to ths negro
race freedom and jualtty, "for which
the war was fought" Any other
method "for permanently registering

would have been equally effective," It
was argued.

"Live At Home"
Campaign Getting
Well Under Way
(Special to the Argus)
Raleigh, March 4.- Mors than one-
half of ths 400,000 farm; families in
North Carolina, representing a popu.
latlon of approximately 1,000,000 souls,
wilfully neglect to raise st horns the
food supplies which are necessary .
for the maintenance , ?( physical
strength and health for theproper de
velopment of the children In those
families.
This estimate has Just been made by
John Paul Lucas who was "drafted"

devoting the first weak of his stay in
Raleigh largely to a study and survey
of the -, situation the remedying of

" According "to Mr. Liu.u,,
half of the farm families In
Carolina keep a milk cow. Probably
as large a percentage neglect to tend
a garden, except in some instances a
collard or cabbage patch. Thotisand
of these families do not even keen .
chickens or raise their own ho meat.

"If would be bad enough if, this
tremendous economic drain year after

situation. But It does no. The
tragedy of it all is that these tens of ,
thousands of our farm families In
aggregating a population of nearly
1,000,000 people, do not include in ,.
