Dover, Falls And Newton Urge
Eight Months School System
Tell Kiwanians Why They Favor
Equal Educational AdVant ages
W ith Eight Months lerm.
An eight months school term f. •
North Carolina was advocated a: the
Kiwanis club Thursday night by Re
presentative B. T. Falls in charge of
ihe program, John R. Dover and .1. r.
Newton, this proposition looming u;
in the state as one of the next big
forward steps which will be prop-. j
in the next session of the !egi.-hr : .
('. rt. Hoey was to have spoke n <:a
the subject, but the limited time pra
hibiied.
In introducing the speaker Mr. F;
who was responsible for the prog-: .
announced his position in. the r apt r
and called on Mr. Dover .who had My
eight months schooling in hi- wl • -!
life, and expressed regret at not be
ing able to quote the master- of iut r
ature. Mr. Dover declared that he
had always favored eight months and
when head of the Ella mill had g.\en
the children the advantage of tie
longer term. At the Dover mill :mw
the mill pays for. one extra worth
and the patrons one extra mo;V~,
making an eight months term, bin
he declared that he had looked up tie
tax receipts of the mill and found
that the mill paid more toward t: e
school than it gets hack. He appealed
for the missionary spirit to ext.-., i
equal educational advantage- to ; !
districts,
J. C. Newton, superb.’< dent
county education declared that we,
could spend millions for sand-elav
roads and the winds would blow them
away, that we can invest vnillior- in
brick and mortar and steel for build
ings but that time will bring t;
to the ground, yet the money spent ■ r
education is the most enduring and
brings most happiness and pleasure.
Mr. Newton pointed out tha.
the function of the state to < ducatc its
children and that the state make '
mandatory through the constitution
ratified by the people. Ha told r •••.
Governor Ayeock in li'OO set far: i
his policy of equal opportunity for all
children of the state, but that such
does not exist. Eighty1 per cent of ’He
population is rural, sixty per cent
have only six months school while l'1
per cent have eight months. Practi al
ly every town and city ha- from s to
!< months school, the state tailing mis
erably to provide the «ame advan
tages for these thousani .- of children
in the rural districts.
In answer to the problem a
whether the state has the wealth to
provide an eight months term. M-;.;
Newton cited the 180 mi!’ion. w'-iem.
the state pa'd in Federal taxes last
year, 136 millions being paid by. the j
tobacco interests. Of the 48 states j
in the union, North Carolina ranis«
'6th in wealth, yet she ts 12nd do"-n (
the list in education. “Aycock t. ark-;
ed God for South Carolina which » t .‘o'
was below North Carolina tn 'he col
umn,” declared Mr. Newton ‘'hut to
day South Carolina has a uniform
schol term of seven months, Virginia
has: a longer schol term than N ''
Carolina and Tennessee has < :_r ,r
months state-wide term ” Ah mut -
ern and western stales have 8, and
10 months terms. The average cos'
education in North Carolina last ye n
was 836 per capita per pupil; for 1
entire nation it was 864.
Answering the question thus, la* at
children can’t attend an eight th
school. Mr. Newton referred to 'Lah
ti more, Mooresboro, Casar. I’icdm t.'..
Waco and Grover which now h<»v
eight months terms with •; b pdhl
i rage attendance. He -suggested that
the difficulty can be eliminated by
beginning at 7 p. m , eliminating tn
recess periods, shortening the dim.et
hour and turning out at 1 oil ck.
thus giving the pupils ample tine to
help with farm work.

No Evidence Held
Against Shelby Boy
Miller Gamble, young on of Mrs.
Eugenia Gamble, of Shelby, was freed
this week by Asheville and Buncombe
county authorities after it came out
that there was no evidence on which
to hold him on a charge that had been
preferred against him.
Following a robbery several months
back at Asheville and the arrest of
suspects someone made the charge
that young Gamble was connected with
the matter. This he denied emphati
cally and the decision of the court in
nol pressing the case owing to a lack
of evidence was the formal acquittal
in the matter, releasing the Shelby
boy from suspicion in the affair.

Catch Lure Of

Large Ankles l!n*hapeliness;
And Sunken Chins.
I
II re's a ravage for Indies with
large ankles, large wrists, utishape
ly hands, and sunken chins. And it is i
not an ad. The gentle narrative is ■
the result, or the product, <if an in
terview of tlie Star with Mrs, M
Flay Hamrick, propcrmtor of the j
. Slit- by Beauty Shop.
As representative of this news
paper, hearing that Mrs. Hamrick ;
j was inp-tailing a permanent wave ma
] chine, wen* to her establishment in j
Me Union Trust Budding. to see.
what such an utfair wus like, lie got
j an eye full, as they say up in Back.,
I Bay, learned about permanent waves >
and temporary waves, ringlets arid I
I water curls.
We 1 tarn about a man named Mar
vel, and where he belongs in the hall
j of fame; we learned what beauty
! culture* means. Now, when we see an
ugly Woman parading the streets of
j this good burg ( if is such a phe.no-1
j menon) we may say with Doctor j
; Munyon. there is hope,
i Mrs. Hamrick, ceasing from her
j exertions with that permanent wave
! machine, sat leisurely down and ex- j
• plained, the intricacies of the busi
ness making women * beautiful.
When men, ignorant bipeds, think
of beauty parlors, they think in
terms of rouge and smelly powers
end sticky creams. But nowadays,
, this interview with Mrs. Hamrick
, revealed, there is more to the enter
j prise than that. That rouge gesture
1 is a touch, just a mere little addenda.
The real work of making women
beautiful goes deeper than that.
(Voice from the composing room;
| Hear! Hear!)
Actually Mrs. Hamrick says, the ;
j modern beauty specialist, can build ;
up sunk faces, fill out scrawny
i necks, red)odd too hefty wrists, re
shape coarse hands, and reduce la
dies' ankles to that gentle contour
so popular with Mr. Ziegfield and his
F- Il'is on the New Amsterdam roof.
Mrs. Hamrick has a diploma from
‘ the Moler School, of Atlanta S**" <s
i h specialist, and she is enthusiastic
j in her belief as to what this new
; science can do for women. She al
ready has two operators associated j
with her at her establishment, and
she is planning to add another room,
more equipment, and take on two j
more assistants.
That gives sonic idea of the place
a beauty parlor fills in Shelby, and;
the way the women are patroiiii.ng
it And she has only been establish- [
ed some two months.

But she was reticent.
She took refuge behind the state

Mrs, Walters did state that, accord

the order, she replied that she cer

Cade Machine is
Being Work on by
Wright At Lawndale
The Cade typesetting machine, a
dream of the fertile and inventive
mind of the lamented Rev. Baylus
Cade has been moved from Philadel
phia to Lawndale and is housed m
a metal garage building: but in a
well equipped machine shop under
the supervision of “Coss” Wright,
one of the most capable mechanics
Cleveland county has ever produced.
For a number of years this machine
has been in process of invention.
Every real big invention is the re
sult of a long process or series of
try-outs and the Cade machine is and
has been going through this process
for a number of years, at a big cost
but at no discouragement to the lead
ers who have backed the invention
with their dollars. Many of the prin
ciples advanced by Mr. Cade have
been changed and the machine has
been perfected to the point wher eat
will cast type at a rate of speed of
five lines to the minute, but there are
many refinements in the mechanism
lo be worked out before the machine
is marketable.
Mr. Wright has made a thorough
study of th” machine and has work
ed out several problems, made
more process ,n bringing the ma
chine toward prefe.ction in two
months than has been made in two
years. It is an interesting mechani
cal study for a printer and several
have been to give it a “look over."
hoping that some day it might be
perfected and placed on the market
as a successful invention by Cleveland
county man hacked mainly by Cleve
land county capital.

To Feed Chickens
Milk For Weight
To feed chickens buttermilk and
corn meal and add some three pounds
a week to their avoidupois, such is
the plan now being undertaken in a .se
rious business way by 0. B. Cabiness,
head of the Ideal lee and Fuel com
pany
Which means that Mr. Cabaniss is .
embarking in the dressed poultry busi
ness. And he is embarking on a big
scale, lie has a feeding house over at
the Ideal headquarters, coupled with a
dressing plant. The new enterprise is
supplied with a capacity for feeding
•1.500 fowls, and an output of five
hundred pounds a day.
Mr. Cabiness says theoretically
buttermilk as a diet, mixed with corn
meal, adds pounds to the weight cf
fowl at the rate of three pounds a
week. The Ideal buys the chickens,
puts them in sanitary pens (and the
pens are remarkably clean and sani
tary) feeds them over a period c>f
days, then kills them.
And the plan is to sell the output in
a large way to hotels, and other big
