He declared the public schools need a standard eight months term to pro perly handle their problem. Mr. Allen has also come out wun tjie prediction tliat one million school children Will be attending the public schools of the State by 1930 if the present annual rate of increase is i maintained.

Davidson, Nov. 25.—Hugh M. Ar-! rowood, Shelby boy will start at left1 end for the Davidson eleven in the an nual Thank.sgiving day game between Duke and Davidson. Arrowood has been gradually getting into form this season until now he has garnered a regular position on the Wildcat line.! Arrowood is probably the best all-] round end on the Davidson campus | and ranks well with any in the state.; He l lays a great defensive game,' keenly diagnosing the play while he! plays the opposing interference; Often a smashing tackle brings down the runner. lie is down under punts be-1 lore any of the other ends, and his clean cut tackles being greatly ad ,11 ired. Arrowood came to Davidson from Shelby where he- played for two years on the Shelby High school eleven, win ning the honor of being the best all around athlete in that school. Besides; starring on the freshman team at Davidson last fall he won another DC. i on the yearling baseball team. He play : ed the initial sack in this game. McMurry, Another Shelby Bey Stars On Carolina Squad Chapel Ilill. Nov. 24, -J. J. MeMur ry, Shelby boy who Las b en playing left end for the Uni.-ersity of North Carolina eleven this year, is one of the outstanding flankmen in North Carolina grid circles. His brilliant play on the end of the Tar Heel line bus been one of the great factors in the fine showing made by the Caro lina line this year. McMurry starred at end for the Ht23 Freshman, and last fall was one of the best ends on the varsity squad. This season Coach Hob Fetier fared with the problem of filling both of the end assignments. ‘'Mac” fought his way clear to one of the jobs, and once he got the position he, has kept on f'ghting. The gains around his end of the line have been few and short. When the pickers of the All State elevens start their deliberations th ■ Shelby hoy will be sure of some consideration.

The most appall ing for the moment is revealed as the California cerl cm a film. J. L. Garvin editor of the Observer, questions whether “it is really necessary to let our cenemas be supplied from Holly wood and our popular taste fettered to the level of the hick." Of course, they are written and captioned for hicks. But not for American hicks alone. They are aimed at the hickelry of the world at large. And for real, earnest, talented yard wide hicks one has to go to England. We have plenty of hicks in America, but over in Mr. Garvin's burgh there are hicks by the hacre. There they carry hickishness to a high state of perfection. Charlie Chaplin moves about our be nighted land at will, hut on his last trip to New York, where hickishness and boobery reach a point second on ly to London, he had to figure in a story to the effect that an admirer bit him in the lip, in order to get any attention. Yet when Charlie or the dear little Coogan boy or Doug and Mary invade England they have to hide in the coal bin for fear the boil ing mob of Londoneic hicks will find them and kiss them to death. “These worthy but ing.nuous people,” as Mr. Garvin phrases it, are in fact so regimented and sot in their ways that they are actually becoming class consicous and may in time demand an official Hick representative in Parlia ment to augment the powers of the present unofficial one.—F.

UNEARTH ANCIENT SKULL IN LONDON I Prehistoric Relic, of Woman Fifty Years Old, Rilonjfs to Upper Palaeolithic Period London,—A prehistoric skull which may possibly rank in importance with the famous Piltdown nnd Taunts j skulls has been unearthed during building and excavating operations in Leadenhnll street, the shipping dis trict of the City of London. The remains of the skull, which unfortunately do not include the fron tal portions, have just been exhibited to the Zoological Society here. O. Royal Dawson, in bringing the discovery to the attention of the Society, vetoed the suggestions that the skull might be that of a Roman by pointing out that whereas Ro man remains at this particular site had always been found at a depth of twelve feet, the skull in question had been found at a depth of twenty six feet. Professor EiliotttSmith, a fellow of the Soc:ety and a well-known au thority on ancient remains, said that he was particularly struck by the flatness of the skull, and that it was flatter than any skull of Homo Sap iens that he knew of. Skull of a Woman. The indications were that th,o skull in question belonged to a woman of f'fty, and was almost left handed. The skull had every indication of be ing much nearer to Neanderthal man than to that of Homo Sapiens. “There is every probal:|'f.y,” Pro fessor Elliott-Smith said, “that the Galiean skull discovered this year belonged to the Upper Palaeolithic, and the inferences to be drawn from this skull discovered in Lendenhall street are that a very primitive type of man is being dealt with. “It is unfortunate that only the posterior parts of the skull are,avail able for examination, and it is quite impossible to assign any definite late, but it can be stated that if the skull is not of the Neanderthal period it is of a much more primitive type than appeared in the Palaeo lithic era.” Glever Dog Trained to Gather Eggs From Barn and Do Other Tricks (From Mecklenburg Times The most highly educated dog in Mecklenburg county, so neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. I. B. Beard of Matthews av, is their French bulldog, Gyp. Koine of the things Gyp is credited with doing, such as delivering mail regularly, bringing in wood to the <ire, bringing eggs from the barn or poultry house seem Incredible, but the owners of the dog and a unanimous chorus of their neighbors substanti ate the talcs that sound like Munchau sen narrations. Tor example, a few days ngo a I nieghbor visiting at the Beard home saw Gyp walking into the kitchen j where Mrs. Beard was and gently de posit an egg from his month, laying >t carefully on the floor so it did not break. The neighbor thought this was unusual, but he was even more sur mised when the dog placed his muz zle near the floor, and carefully de posited the second egg. Amazed at the unusual behavior of the dog, the neighbor made inquires and learned it was nothing unusual tor the dog to visit the barn, climb up on the wagon, or a box, or into the hay loft, pick up two eggs in his mouth and carry them to the kitchen carefully laying them down so as not to break them. Gyp learned the trick of bringing in eggs from one of the Beard boys Fred, who has proven himself an adept in teaching the dog tricks.

Denies Hell ' Tin' only devil that exist* in this ■or any other world Is a man-made devil created for the purpose of mak ing people afraid and holding them in a state of bondage and supersti tion.'' says I). Claude E. Sayre, minister at Wichita, Kas.^who has t reated quite a stir in hi t community through his sermons on hell. Noted Agnostic, Chief Spokesman For Evolution Theory Meets De feat. One of the most outstanding events of the year was a debate in Sinai Temple, Chicago, a few days ago be tween Bishop Francis J. McConnell of Pittsburg, of the Methodist church and Clarence Darrow, of Chicago, ac knowledged unbeliever of the Bible and considered the leader among the evolution forces of the country in their efforts to discredit the Bible and attempt to prove that there was no such person as Adam but that the human race sprang from a “lower or der of animals.” The debate was on the subject, “The Mechanistic Theory of Life,” and was heard by an im mense throng of people. The Northwestern Christian Ad vocate in its account of the debate among other things said: Bishop McConnell met Mr. Darrow on his own ground. He sought no shelter. Anti V 3 showed himself the more careful student of recent sci entific thought, as well as much more skillful in relating its conclusions to his side of the argument. Mr. Darrow seemed surprised. Here was a man who, though a Chris tian and an ecclesiastic, was quite content to hold the debate within such limits as gave him none of the supports (and, of course, none of the handicaps) of the professional de fender of religion. In the second period of the debate, when the question of philosophy had* arisen, Bishop McConnell again show ed himself more at homo than Mr. Darrow. Where the lawyer referred vaguely to this or that philosophic position, the bishop named the men who first presented it, and stated its content and significance in language brief but chrystal-clear. The natural inclination of a Meth odist hearer to listen as a ^fffrusan may have been tempered by the dis covery, early in the debate that it would be quite safe to judge the mer its of both speakers calmly. Certain ly partisan interest was not neces sary for the enjoyment of the battle if battie it was. In point of fact, before the even ing was over, one listener found him self moved by a distinct feeling of sympathy for Mr. Darrow, who was evidently somewhat at a loss. He had come to debate with a preacher, and / und l'#»df confronted by an ntellect as keen as his own, rein forced by a mental discipline much more rigorous than he had suspected a preacher could endure. And this preacher knew what were the thought fashions of the world. He could dis cern when and how one form of un faith was being displaced by another. And when Mr. Darrow attempted a bit of logomachy about a supposed endless series of superior intelligences Bishop McConnell ticketed at once for what it was—a child’s puzzle. While there was no decision, there was a result. Toward the close of the debate Mr. Darrow enunciated his creed, sterile and melancholy. Man is all machine; the machine just happened; it has neither design nor purpose, all human hopes are vain, And then he recited most impressi vely a sort of litany of agnosticism; he asked the great questions which the human spirit is always asking; and confessed that for him was one answer, the only possible answer: “I don’t know.” This gave Bishop McConnell his op portunity. He showed that in the very act of denying freedom, choice, in tell gence, Mr. Darrow had been com pellcd to use the vocabulary of free will of choice, of intelligent mastery of facts. He had assumed that there was a distinction between truth and error, between fact and delusion. But in the fry assumption he had aban doned the agnostic position. As Bis hop McConnell said, amid great ap plause, “For a man who knows as lit tle as Mr. Darrow says he knows, he I has been making soma pretty strong assertions here tonight.” Visit our basement for utility giHs.
