McLean Asked To
Sturt Movement
Pack To Cradle
Governor Receives Amusing Letter
From Abernathy About Child
Drivers On Highways
Raleigh.—And now the Governor
has been cglled on to lead the “Rack
to the cradle” movement.
For among the marly letjprs which
Governor A. W. McLean receives on
all kinds of questions from all sorts
of people, ranging from preachers
and would be reformer to inmates of
of the prison and hospital for the in
sane, many of which he finds highly
amusing. , The Governor today made
public that he considers to be the
rarest and most amusing of them all.
This one.js jii/om the Itqy. Arthur
Talmage Abernathy, of Rutherford
college, Burke county, in dihieh he
catys on the Governor for assistance
in putting a “check on the way
babies are neglecting their cradles
up here in these mountain sections
and running amuck with automobiles.’
“And because his letter expresses
eternal truth in such a novel and en
tertaining way, I think the public is
entitled to it,” the Governor says.
The letter follows:
“Can’t some edict, bull, anathema,
qr. just old-fashioned jacking up or
der be issued from our political head
quarters, to have the deputy sheriffs,
mayors, or other irresponsible cusses
put a check on the way the babies are
neglecting their cradles up here in
these mountain sections and running
amuck with automobiles? It is getting
to be so that an adult pedestrian has
less chance than a chicken at a South
ern Methodist conference (I mean the
frying sort, not the ones that flap).
On almost any day when it isn’t rain- i
ing a man Can see 'em cutting their i
teeth on the steering along highway j
No. 10. The other day when 1 was
out helning a friend survey a subdi- j
vision I saw a woman rush out in J
ifont of a flying flivver, wave down j
the infant driver and naturally man- }
date thusly: |
“Willie, if you don’t climb out of ,
that Ford and come into the house
and finish yoifr nursing I’ll be blamed j
if 1 don’t have to wean you.”
It does seem that under our law
as it stands something ought to he I
done about this.

New York, July 21.—Dispatches
from Chicago that the writer of an
editorial which linked the movie
sheik with pink powder puffs had noi
revealed his identity tytve failed to |
dissuade Rudolph V»lentir.q from h:s
intention of forcing a duel, .American
fashion. There is just one possible
development, he said, which might
force him to “laugh it oil.”
“I’m going btrek to Chicago,” he
said today as he received reporters
in his suit, clad in an orchid bathing
suit and lavender lounging robe, “and
|’ll have satisfaction.
“Unless the scoundrel who wrote
that foul stuff is an old man, too
feeble to take a man-sized licking, FH
give him what he's earned.”
“But what,” someone asked, "would
you do if the ‘scoundrel’ turned out to
lie a woman?”
Mr. Valentino achieved a gesture
of supreme gallantry.
“Ah, that goes without saying,” he
responded. “[ should just have to
laugh it off.”
Why howl if aliens shoot up the
natives? That’s the way the first
settlers got established.

Charlotte Comment
On The Razor-Cirl
Charlotte News.
And a Charlotte attorney, not in the
least interesting in the recent over
played murder trial here of u woman
murderer, made the remark tht^t “You
have got u hotter chance of getting
off before a jury in Mecklenburg
county for walking across the street
and shooting down a fc.llowman than
you have if caught with a pint of li
quor." Aqd therein is, at least, the
suggestion of a truth, perhaps over
drawn, put hitting in the general
'neighborhood of a correct analysis.of
our popular mind at this time. And
I that’s the reason wo had better bo
itaking our public sentiment out and
[ giving it an uiring.
