- U»st-The Half Day Holiday wnat about the half day closing c4ch week for the summer? *No much has been heard about, it tffis season. Why? A merchant ap proached The Star Saturday and ask ed the question—why not begin the uiual summer closing half day Thurs days to give the clerks and merchants tlie oportunity to enjoy at least one ’tfffcekly outing. •^The plan, as is well-known, is in V§iue in most progressive centers;. And it has been put into effect here in the past with what seems to have baen good results. All work and no play not only makes Jack a dull boy, hut what is more to the point, it makes him a dull elerk. Short hours and speedy, peppy, intel ligent work is the trend of the time in commercial life. It has been proved that a change— nn outing, a holiday—sets a man tip and makes him keener on the job. If you want to see a dull bird under taking a piece of work, give the < nee over to the one th:u works long drag ging hours without change. The longer you work the less work you do, is a theory proved to he fact by governmental experiment < n a largo scale1 Half day closing Thursday is a benefit, a positive benefit. The big stores North have tested out the plan and found it very much worth while. In fact some of the very large, t f.tbres—such as Wanamak'.rs, Lord and Taylor, Gimbol and others, clore nil day one day a week, and usually Saturdays. On with the petition..

GRILLE ELEHICUH IKES GREAT DISCOVERT Finds Nature’s Products Greatest Power for Regaining Health Mr. Reynolds is a well known elec trician in Greenville, his family hav ing been identified with the city far many years. He grew up with the city and saw its rise from a main street village with its old fashioned lights to a metropolis with its modern elec trical equipment. He helped to har ness this power for its every day use hut in his attention to business he neglected his own health. To quote from his statement. “I suffered con tinually from constipation—I used many remedies—in fact, I seemed to be taking something all the time. The trouble with these things was the re lief was only temporary. In a day or two I was right back to where I started from. My trouble appeared to be chronic. It became narder and harder to get relief and medicines seemed to act only by steadily in creasing the dose. I was becoming worried. My ordinary good digestion began to fail me. I commenced to lose weight and not to feel quite so well a« I usfd to. lddn’t have quite the old pep to be up and doing.

Atkins, president of the North Carolina Press association. The press organization in this state is fostering the edition. With a single exception, this will be the first time this publication has devoted an. entire supplement to any Southern state. The exception was in the case of Florida. Some months ago such a supplement was issues on that state.

This sign, quite familar to patrons of Western and Northern department tores, has at last reached Washing on and is posted in the fitting rooms of at least two women’s wear stores, here. Translated for the elucidation of ‘he uninitiated in boudoir and fitting room secrets the sign simply means that women customers must be cloth id with sufficient lingorie as not to shock and embarrass saleswomen and "itters. In one .local store recently a sales girl refused pointblank to try a dress on a customer whose lingerie was of lie x-ray variety. The prospective mstomer complained and the clerk was summarily dismissed. The assist »nt manager of the shop declared that the clerk was well within her rights and if that she were fired he himself would resign. The assistant manager won out, the Clerk was re amed and the above sign posted in itting rooms. The proprietor of one F, street smart shop states that while the more mature type of women are prop erly clothed, that young girls from local seminaries, girls of the real dapper type, come to be fitted wear ng only roll-top stockings, “scan ties" and tiny brassieres. Good Reason A kindergarten teacher asked a class of boys: Have you a warm coat? Yes, was fhe reply. Can you take off your warm coat? Yes. Has a bear a warm coat? Yes. Can a bear take off his warm coat? No. Why cannot the bear take off his warm coat? Cause Cod alone knows where the buttons arc. Many Kinfolk Are Like Thin Charlie and his three sisters had been to visit a relative in the country. The the invitation had been for a week, their stay was gradually length ened to a month. But eventually they departed. “Well.” asked the father on tlieir return, “was your uncle glad to see you?” Charlie’s face lit tip with delight. “Glad!” he echoed “Uncle glad! Why, dad, he wanted to know why we didn’t bring you, mother, the maid, the cat, the canary, and the goldfish.” UR9EST PI SHOES III HISTORY !LOI WHIIT MOTHERS ClEED OKIES I* LIFE The Manner of Men anti Women We Become Is Purely a Matter of ’Becoming Manners. (By Dr. J. W. Holland) A negro mother, whose children had all turned out unusually well, being aasked how she trained them, replied, “First, we taught them to pray; then we taught, them good man ners; and then we taught them to work.” i he home is the tirst and nest school. Parents should not wait for the church to teach their children to pray. That is too late. As soon at a child learns to appreciate the kind care of parents he is old enough to he taught to thank the Giver of all Good. When a child first breaks the laws of the home, and is taught to ask forgiveness, it is then the time to guide his mind in the first lessons of repentance and prayer. If I were to try to locate the sore spot of young people’s lives. I would say that most of their troubles are due to the lack of home training in prayer. Those who go from their homes untaught to kneel and pray rarely learn it. The manner of men and women v.e become is purely a matter of becom ing manners. Good manners is love in trifles; unselifishness in little things; putting the other fellow first. A boor is always a bore. There used to be a good, old-fashioned or thodox word called “behave.As soon as a child can misbehave, and it is usuaally quite young, then is the providential time to begin the teach ing of manners. The Bible well says, “Kvil com munications corrupt good manners.'” The third item from this creed i work. Children are driven by na tures laws to develop by play activ ity. Nature impels u- to play, but society makes i;s work. Men must dig in before we can dig out. While we need laws to restrain greedy men from enslaving children, we also need a generation of sensible parents who know enough that the non-working child becomes a non-entity. The child that is not taught to love toil will spoil._Ninety her cent of the pitfalls and temptations of life are avoided by the industrious. If we do not set out to-do something we do nothing. Activity i the middle name of character. Children wh > arc taught to direct their activities in helpful ways rarely give the state any trouble. I feel sure that this negro mother was right. The best Ihing we can do for our children ip to'teach them to pray, to beltava. and to work. Jackson, Miss.—A gigantic pair of shoes, believed to be the largest ever made for a human, have been pre sented to the Mississippi department of archieves and histoy and are on ex hibit in the State museum. The shoes are 10 inches long and slightly more than six inches wide, weighing close to 10 pounds. They were made during the world near for Thomas Williams, a North Carolina negro, who had never worn shoes in his life, according to Cap tain Arthur Fridge, of Jackson, com mander of the co rps in which Wil liam; served and who made the pre sentation. The pairs of the enor mous shoes, of the array hoh-nail type, were made for the negro but they hurt his fot and were so heavy, that he was unable to wear them, it ts said. He served in the army in non-regulation unifoi’in, consequently, with h's fee wrapped in sacks in col 1 weather. Perfect Specimen Wi-liiiwiis, according to the informa tion Riven to I)r. Dunbar Rowland, direct .r of the department is six feet four inches in height and weighs 210 pounds. Army officials could find no reason for turning hiw down in the service, as he was a perfect spec, irncn of physical manhood. He told army officials, it was said, that he always wrapped his feet in sacks during cold weather and asked to be allowed to serve in the army under these conditions. The negro served in France in Captain Fridges- corps, the 233rd ser vice batallion, Q. M. C., at Casscy les Forges. Cote d’or, France. His record in the army is said to have been Unusually geod. Captain Fridge related the history of the shoes to Dr. Rowland several months ago, and the director ex presed a wish that they might be ob tained by Captain Fridge and for warded t - the department. Shoes Too Heavy “Bis.-, lies'- shoes is jest naturally too heavy a id dey hurts my feet,” Williams told the officers, according to the tery. “If you jests lets me wrap my f -et in my sacks, I’ll get along line.” Porters in the state house were amazed when Dr. Rowland called a conference and offered the shoes to any one who could wear them. There was no one who cared enough to try them on, “V int . is.-.- are they?’ pne porter sked the director. "They are measured by the square fret and not sizes,” Dr. Rowland laughingly replied. ‘'They ace so much bigger than any shoes ever put on the market that it is impossi bly to approximate the size.” The shoo- have aroused consider able interest in the capital.
