' SERVED WEI.I, In the news columns of tlv issue of The Star Mr. Georg P. Webb announces that ho will not b^ a candidate for reflection as clerk of the Cleveland conn-' ty court. The announcement comes somew hat as a surprise after eight years of faithful service in that position. Mr. Webb does not announce as yet the connections he will make. From now on until 'he end of the present term he will j remain in the office transact ing the duties of the office as heretofore. Then he plans a change. In what ever he embarks his man'' friends over tin- county will wish him well and they are j able to endorse him well Ills eight years in public life a: clerk were filled with conscien tious duty and a desire to faith fully live up to the trust plac ed with him. WE I .COM ING STK A NGEKS Many months ago the local Kiwanis club noting the lack of welcome or boosting signs on the : highways leading into Shelby promptly set about remedying the situation. There was need for remedy. Other than private commercial signs there are no sivns near Shelby’s limits greeting the passer-by and calling his at- j tention to the advantages and j opportunities of the hustling little city he is about to enter, | Some plan was devised as it j is remembered to see that wel- j come signs meeting the require-j] jnents were erected. A> \tt—several months later —-.no such.signs are up. For »»m?' reason or another, per haps very legitimate ones, the attention has been turned to something else. Someone should take a <t -p now and see what is h: Iding up a matter that will be so important this summer. Thousands will pass over the j highways through Shelby thi.« j summer. Will t hey have to in-1 quire tlii‘ name of the town7 HERE’S HOW Three or four years ago pub lic m >ving officials along with many others knew personally pm tically every man living in Shelly. Today these saru ■ officials I and citizens, no he the less o’>-1 servant, .encounter dozens of j name ; they do rot know. Without any addend 1 that fact alone tells of the remark* abl ■ growth of Shelby. The realty dealers may he "shoot ing a line " in saying that Shel by’s growth in recent years jus tifies real estate ehar.cenu nt, but the actual figures back i them up. The same figures used in cal-1 culating the interest on money. (iIVIN(» ’EM THEIR WANTS So many requests for city im provements are coming to. the cit father that they are seri ously considering giving ’em their wants as long as the claims are just.and the tax payers are willing to pay the price. Shelby is in for a big awakening this spring. Hordes of visitors will be here when the mountains are swarmed with home seekers and investors. They will naturally overflow to Shelby and when they see a beautiful town back ed by industries, strong banks and building and loans, a most advanced agricultural comm un ite. fine climate and mineral waters, the visitors will become investors. To show them that Shelby is progressive and wel vom: s them, the street should ■be kept clean, the court, square* beautified, water supply in i reused, municipal improve ments made ample to meet the demands. Recently the city officials have been making a survey with a view of starting another street and sidewalk improve ment campaign. The demands for such improvements are an every-day affair and the im provements will likely soon be granted, but the tax payers W hen in need of face and common brick sec O. E. Ford Co.

Lady Attendant. should bear in mind that they must foot the bill. In the face of all these requests for more im provements, it has become nec essary to threaten force collec tion of instalments past due on work done several years ago. Just this week a certain indivi dual asked for a half mile of paving to benefit some property which he happened to own. This individual had never paid a cent on his four assessments already past due. Such is the world. The city is not in the real estate development busi ness, but when legitimate re quests come for improvements, such improvements should be granted. Pay up and go ahead. When the citizens do this they had a right to ask and expect. We must beautify the court square, it is imperative that our water supply be increased to nvot the growing demands of the t >wn, the street work under consideration should be done, but when pay day comes don t cuss the tax collector. The mo ney we spend comes back in big dividends. A bigger Shelby enhances property values more than it costs and brings in out side capital which will pay its part gladly. HAT MAKERS FIGHTING SMALL EASTER FELTS <New York World.) What is the Easter hat to be? “Small felts,” say the women. “Not if we can help it.” say the millinery trades. The disagreement is becau. e there is little profit on the small, unadorn ed felt, but the feminine world finds the style charming, nevertht less. A few weeks ago the millinery men put on a fashion show and “pushed” the |arge and more highly-trimmed hats. Their efforts fell rather flat. Tonight all branches of th" mill - nery business will meet i \ the Hotel Astor to discuss other ways .'of com batting what they frankly described as the "felt hat menace.” | The Hat Frame Manufacturers’ A - ; sociation will attend as a body. Some members have posted notices in their | factories to discourage employes from wearing the small hat. i Forty jobbers and retailers rroin j the middle west will offer suggestions ■ One trade representative has sug gested that the stores combine to “throw out” the felt by selling all present stocks at ridiculously low i pi ices and buying no more. We’ve No Symmetrical Sweeties; Everybody Is Lopsided Somehow Famous Anthropologist Asserts That None of i s Is I erfect That Our Eyes, or Ears Are Not Mates anu Our Feet I)o Not Track Now York—Is your sweetheart ; ymetrieal ? The man or Woman looking fur a P Tfect mate will never find one if ho or she demands a:i individual whose yes, ears, hands and feet are perfect mates. A symetrical “sweetie" f imply doe-n’t exist $>r, according to Dr. Adolph H. Schultz, associate in anthropology in .Johns Hopkins Med' ical School, we are all lopsided. I>r. Schultz says our cayes are not on the level that is, on the same horizontal plane; our ears are riot the same size; our mouths are bigger on o c side; right arms are longer than lefts arid one foot is sure to outdo the other n point of size. .John Sloan. famous American painter, says this is true from the point of view of the draughtsman who t'oes not measure hut simply puts down on canvas or paper his im press! h of features. Mr. Sloan ex plains: . Slight Variations. “Though slight variation :s com mon in every face, I find if I get one rye too low fur the other in a paint-1 ing, it is more conspicuous than it would In' in the human countenance. ••The. • variations are always ro slight that to record the d.fference is actually to overstate it. ’ . Though few or us are bi laterally symmetrical, it is not remarkable, says Mr. Sloan. The truly strange thing ;.'i, nit us is that we manage to keep a -pretty fair balance with only lopsided minds to guide us. George ihernard Shaw's fact was 'mentioned the other dot as pei.em, hat in a way which proves the present ri,nt. ids perfection" consists, so sotio .e -.-.*tl, in tbkt its two sides differ, one sapwing the perfect wit, the other i a perfect cynic. At an\ rate, one of . the -Shavian eyes seems a tiny bit lew, r than the other, but dds may lie only by the angle at which tie- picture was taken. In the sl.vJy smiling face of Mona [, Sa t is hard to find anything but a slight difference in the .two sides. One cornei- of that mysterious classi cal smirk m y b. slightly different from the other, and one eye may slant, and most likely does, in a way that the other orb doesn't follow. Near Perfection In this modern day we haven’t any mysterious Mona Lisas but we have Atlantic City prize b-auties among whom Miss Fay Lamphier has been conspicious. Yet critics attack the fair face of the* pulchrinudinous Fay, saying she dors not measure up to perfection that she deviates from the stri-tly horizontal here and the ab:;o lu e’y perpend.cular there. Among men George M. Cohan, fa mous actor and author, is remark able for his play of facial expression. Most characteristic of this familiar countenance is a smile that turns slightly to the right—or is it to the left? Any way it has at least forty times the charm that a 50 50 right and left ordinary smile would have. It -n't history any place that any neople b cam great by rid.culing re lig'on.
