Auto Owner* Asked To Rush Buying Of Their New Plates Raleigh, June 16.—Have you got ten your uutomobile license plate yet? If not, you had better send for yours at once, for there are but two weeks left in which to get them. And to date only 30,000 license tags out of 400,000 have been issued. “If people will only send in for their tags right awny, we can take care of them at once, as fast as the applications come in” said an official of the Automobile license bureau of the department of revenue today. “But if they all wait, until the last week or last few days, we will not be able to take care of them. We have an adequate iorce to supply ine needs of the automobile owner* if they will spread their applications over the next two weeks and hope that they will do this. Otherwise we will be greatly delayed in getting all the license plates to the car owners by July 1.” The State is going to be more par ticular than ever before in its en forcement of the law requiring all new license plates to be in place on all automobiles by July 10 and all who do not have them by that dute must pay the penalty. Another Charlie Rost Bobs Up To Public Chicago, June 16.—The Charley Ross kidnapping case, a mystery for upward of two score years since Charles E. Ross, scion of wealthy parents prominent in Philadelphia society, was stolen from the Ross residence while asleep in his crib, bobbed up in Chicago again today. The police received a letter pur porting to have been sent by Charles E. Ross, 1126 South San Pedro St., Los Angeles, which contianed srtate ments that skeptical detectives said might result in solution of the famous case. Ross said he was born in Chicago about 36 years ago and was given to | man of the name of W. G. Harper, Wiiu look him west. When his foster mother died recently he said she told him his real name was Charles E. Roes and*that his mother resided in Chicago. He said he had been em ployed as a cowboy in the movies and requested the police to try to find his mother. Another good test of will power is to finish June as a bachelor. How the Russians must despise anybody who isn’t mad at his boss! If it’s like work, only harder and you gat no pay for it, it’s recreation. How time flies! Only yesterday a girl was happy if you bought her a Anger Makes The Heart Beat Faster An Untamed Emotion Taken Its Toll, Says l)r. t'opeland.. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, writing for ■ the Washington Herald, says that an ger ifi one of the most dangerous ene mies of mankind. I do not mean that anger stalks about as u roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. But in your heart of hearts is an evil spirit, imprisoned most of the time but alert ever and ready to attack you on the first op portunity. So many times you pick up a paper to read that this man or that has been stricken suddenly and died perhaps before help could reach him. Of course he might he usleep or calm when death came. In many cases, however, a fit of anger produced con ditions which caused a blood vessel to break in the brain. Anger makes the heart beat so vi. olently that it may feel sore and strained for days afterward. The emo tions may involve the heart just as running, lifting, or hard labor may do. The blood vessels have wonderful walls, elastic and firm. They are made this way to resist pressure. For 50 years they may serve you well. But all ut once the vessel wall breaks and the blood rushes out to pul pres, sure on the brain perhaps. Did you ever see a man with the white of the eye red or purple from a broken blood vessel? Usually a blow or other injury is responsible for this condition. But some of the worst cases I ever saw followed a fit of an ger, with the breuking of a blood ves sel. For the sake of good heulth, the child should be taught to be even tem pered. Poise and self-control are es sential to the well-being of the indi vidual. Nobody admires men and women subject to fits of anger. They fly off the handle on the slightest pretext. When well trained in youth they do not brinjjj; shame on themselves by these evil performances. Many a day of headache, weakness and ill feeling has followed a spell of violent anger. Many a grave has been filled in consequence of it. When you see a friend about to break out in the antics of a fit of anger, put your hand on his shoulder or pat her on the hand. A moment of distraction may result in the quiet ing of disturbed feelings. This may prevent a spell of sickness. Boll Weevil Causes Death Of Chicken Series of Freak Stories Came Out Of Kinston Section—Woodpecker Attacks 1'erson Kinston, June 16.—Freak storie poured into this city from all sides during the past three days.

Happy endingfi any time during coming era: “And at last they sur. rendered to France.” _ THEATRES Zane Grey’s latest is due at the Princes* tomorrow (Saturduy). “Bom to the West” is the title. Jack Holt plays the lead supported by Margaret Morris, and a large competent cast. It is a typical Grey picture, featui ing a better story. Here is a descriptive line from the press sheet: “A Zane Grey west ern that combines the thrills and fas cination of the great outdoors with t. delightful love story.” Monday brings “Rustling for Cupid” a Peter B. Kyne story. “She was only a poor school teacher and he was the son of a cattle baron, but there was a skeleton in his closet.—He had trail ed the old rustler for months—and then he found out it was his own fathei.” That outline reveals the type of story—a good one, well screened. Lon Chaney, super star, and Pris cilla Dean, entertained a big house at the Webb last night in “Outside* the Law,” a picture revealing the tumult of underworld life, and threads of fine character inherent in the heaits of the unfortunate denizens of the slums. It is a picture peculiarly fitted to the Chaney art. The great character star portrays a double role. He is ably supported by Priscilla Dean. Out of the picture—a melodrama full of pen and action and life-—comes the moral that inherent in all human beings, no matter how low they fall thieves, crooks, hold-up men—is n streak of loyalty and devotion. The story brings out these traits, and Chaney is a master of this con trast. A good comedy and News reel ac company the main bill. Saturday brings Pete Morrison, who will have as his side kicks on ihe program the regular good Saturday comedy and the ever popular Fables. Dixie Powder Aided In Bunker Hill Fight Savannah, Ga., June 17.—Although the Battle of Bunker Hill, the 151st anniversary of which is today. was fought in Massachusetts and by New England folks, Georgia in the far South played an important part in it by furnishing the major portion of the all too scant supply of gunpow der.

Some of the men of the colony of Georgia took immediate steps to “do their bit,” even if the scene of action was a thousand or so miles way.
