We’ll all have flying machines, automobiles, iceless refrigcrtators, electrified homes and every other luxury under the sun within a few more decades. There will be no such thing as poverty anywhere on earth and things that are today luxuries for the well-to-do will be the common playthings of ordinary wage earn ers. And this is going to be s ire because science is going to sim plify our whole problem of food production and relieve humanity of much of the present arduous lab or and expense of feeding itself. When 30 men working in a fac tory the size of a city block can 'produce as much food as ] 000 j then working on 75,000 acre's of land, food will become so abund ant and so cheap that your wage earner will not have to give up seventy-five per cent of his earn ings for rations; he will have the hulk of his income to expend upon ! things that are now considered luxuries. Up to the present time our boasted civilization hasn’t been all we have tried to crac k it up to be. Human civilization is human slav ery. Civilization calls for certain standards of appareling, certain I standards of shelter, certain social ! obligations and a number of things that men must work inces santly for to acquire and retain.

SEND US YOUR BLANKETS Now, before the cold nights come, let us wash every trace of soil and germ out and put sunshiny freshness and sooth ing softness into them. Phone 591 and our truck will call. SNOWFLAKE LAUNDRY —PHONE 591 — OPEN HOUR LONGER Appreciating the patron age of past trade and al ways anxious to better serve our patrons, we, the undersigned barber chops of Shelby have decided to keep our shops ooen one hour longer in the evenings. Heretofore the barber shop closing hour has been 7 o'clock in the evenings. Beginning Thursday, the closing hour is 8 p. m. J. P. AUSTELL, L. S. COOK, J. E. ELLIOTT D. L. WILLIS FRED WRIGHT (This change is made for the benefit of those who work until 6 o'clock or later. They may now go home, get their supper and Ket to the barber shops be fore the closing hour.) V__ primitive passions and knowing ii i fear ol tax collectors, we who • all ourselves civilized work eijjlit to sixteen hours a dir/ keeping up appearances. We spoil all the sun ny days in the prime of our lives laying up something for a rainy day; and the end of it all is just a rainy day. In the making of our little pile we undo our very selves. We gain a bank account and lose our hair, our nerves, our teeth, our eye-sight, our virility and the rose color of our dreams. All because we must spend so much of our time turning water and sunlight and air into corn; turning the corn into a hog or a cow and turning the hog and the cow back into something to cpt. What a wasteful process. Why not take the sunlight, the water and air and turn it directly into some thing to cat, within clean walls of a sun-lighted factory instead of plowing and sweating in the dirt an l following a cow all our lives? I toes this sound silly? Let’s see. A century ago the man who pre dicted the telephone, the electric light or the horseless carriage was ! considered a lunatic. Rarely two I decades ago when the Wright j Brothers began to experiment wiih j a heavier than air flying machine j they hid themselves among the | and dunes of the North Carolina I coast where they could experi-1 merit without being laughed to j scorn by ait unimaginative world. And while they labored at Kill! Revil 11:11, Lee DeForrest, exper-I imenting with wireless telegraphy i on Roanoke Island, was generally j regarded as just another “harm- | loss nut.” Eminent; scientists now predict | with a feelit g of certainly that the j modern chemist will find a way to j convert the light of the sun and j the nitrogen of the air into food | for the human family. This prediction was made by not one, but by a number of conserva- i tiye scientists in a round table dis cussion at the Institute of Politics at Williamston, Mass., last week. It is n>> wild theory. Something like that is already being done in factories that take nitrogen from the air and make into fertilizers for the renewal of our worn-out soils a! d into yeast, an article of food that civilized man would hardly know how to dispense with. With God, to whom a day is as hut a thousand years, the process of slowly turning sunlight and air into an ear of corn and as slowly turning the corn into a cow is reasonably swift; but to man, whoso days arc but few, time is more precious and man wdli find an easier, simpler and more ex peditious way of achieving the same results. Drawing our alcohol and car bohydrates—the power to keep our bodies fit and going—direct from the ether will Ice no greater marvel in years to come than the drawing of electricity from the ether. KITCHEN CUPBOARD By NELLIE MAXWELL Refreshing Drinks 1NT Is so refreshing in flavor and so attractive when used ns n garnish, that even the word reminds us of delicious drinks. The famous mint juleps of the South were usually made with liquor, but one may serve a drink of fruit Juices with nothing but pleusure In the consequences. Mint Cup.—Express the Juice from five lemons, add the leaves from a dozen stalks of mint, one and ono-hnlf cupfuls of sugar and one-half cupful of water, cover and let stand thirty minutes. Just be fore serving pour Into n pitcher over a large piece of ice and add three bottles of chilled ginger ale. Put a sprig of mint in the top of eacli glass or a bunch in the top of the pitcher for garnish. Pineapple Lemonade.—Make a sirup by boiling one cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of water ten min utes, add the juice of three lemons and a can of grated pineapple; cool, strain and add four cupfuls of ice water. Ever-Ready Lemonade.—Add a cupful of sugar to two cupfuls of water and boil together twelve min utes; arid a third of a cupful of lemon juice, cool and turn tuto a jar. Keep in the ice chest and serve with a few slice? of fresh lemon for a garnish. Chocolate Milk Shake —Melt four squares of unsweetened chocolate, add one and three-fourths cupfuls of sugar anil a pinch of salt; pour on gradually, stirring constantly, one and one-half cupfuls of boiling water. Boil tire minutes. Cool and put Into a jar, keep on tee. For chocolate milk shake add two and a half tnhlespoonfuls of the sirup, one egg and two-thirds of a cupful of ndlk, with two tublespoonfuls of chopped ice A delightful drink which may al ways be at hand for an emergency is grape juice, with ginger ale. The combination Is good and the zest of the ginger ale makes a most re freshing' drink. (£). l'J26. Wcstrrn Newspaper Union.) BEYOND THE STARS WHAT 15 THERE? How Far I he Universe May Ex tend We Do Not Know. In teresting Talk of Stars Th'1 Literary Digest. This query has now been ati swered, we are told by Dr. 1C. K. Free, writing in the New York Herald-Tribune. The answer is, “more stars,” hut these are not scattered about uniformly in space, like sand suspended in water. In stead they are arranged in vast clouds. We live inside of these, our sun being one of its most in significant stars. Those we see in the sky are the other members of our own family. He goes on: “But entirely outside this star family of ours space contains other star-clouds. They are island universes. It is probable that some hundreds of them can be seen from the earth. Very likely there are thousands of them; perhaps even so many as to be truly infinite. “Seldom, if ever, has the human mind attained.,« grander concep tion than the one thus envisaged. Our own universe contains possibly 10,000,000,000 members. The width is so great that light, which trav els 180,000 miles a second, is be lieved to take about 300,000 years to pass across it. Yet it is but one of hundred of stellar universes. TOo group recently investigated at Harvard is believed to be nearly 10 ono.000 light-years away. “The man who can contemplate thi spicture for ten minutes and still retain respect for human troubles must have blind spots in his imagination. Yet this is no imaginary picture. It is entirely real, as real as the North Pole or the setting of the sun. “The idea of island universes is not new, but the proof comes from a recent research by Prof. Harlow Shapley and Miss Adelaide Ames, of Harvard Observatory. These astronomers studied a group of spiral nebulas in the constella tions Coma and Virgo. One hun dred and three of these were meas ured on photographs made with the I groat Harvard telescopes. Each one | is a universe of stars, like the one in which we live. “It is virtualy impossible to comprehend dis tances as vast as this, but one can try. Imagine that the whole of space is shrunk until this vast earth of ours is no larger than the tiniest germ that biologists can just see with their microscopes. The sun would then be an invisible dust speck about three-hundredths of an inch away from the gtrni si/.e earth. The entire solar system would he less than an inch across. “The neart ‘ t star would lie about fifteen feet away. About half a mil" in another direction would be the next. Siriuh. tile brightest, would beabout three thousand feet away. There would be only six stars vvi'hin a mile, and about twenty within ten miles. On the average, in the star cloud to which we be long there would be one star about every five miles. “The star cloud, taken as a whole has about the shape of a watch. The whole cloud would be about rinc thousand miles in diameter. Outside the star cloud to which we belong lie the other island univer- ] sities." The island universities turn out, j Dr. Free tells us, to he relatively I close together in comparsion with I their sizes Thus, still using the re- , duced scale of distances indicated above, our private universe is the ' watch-shaped star cloud about 1 9,000 miles across. Less than twice' its diameter away begins a snial- j ler cloud. Others lie in other di- j reetions. It is as though a cloud i of vast, dust-filled soap bubbles j were floating near each other in . space. To quote further: “The most distant object yet is j the group of nebulas just measur- j ed by Professor Shapley and Miss 1 Ames. On the scale of the germ to I represent the earth and the 9,000 mile watch to represent our own star cloud, these new nebulas lie at the vast distance of nearly 300, 000 miles. May not this he a group > of universes, just as our own uni- | verses is a group of stars? “The watch shape which we hnv„ described is only approximate. The real shane is that of an-exploding pinwheel, assuming that the glow, ing sparks could be frozen in pos ition, so that wo would soe tho two spiral arms extending out from tho erupting tubes of the firework, from tho inside tho spiral shape* would never be apparent. We are looking through the materials of its spiral arms. ‘‘That is what makes the Milky Way, there being many more stars to see in that direction than there are through the flatter dimension of the pinwheel-like spiral. “Salutary as these concepts are for human vanity, it is natural to ask how fully they can be accept ed as truth, and not as a curious kind of scientific imagination, like the well-remembered romances of Jules Verne and of IT. G. Wells. The answer must he that they arc true, at least in all of their essen tials and in so far as it is proper for science to speak of truth at all. If anything in astronomy be ac cepted as true, it is impossible to avoid accepting these vast con ceptions of time and space. “How far the universe may ex tend, we do not know. Perhaps we shall never know. But we now know it extends at least as far as those clustered spirals whose as pect ten million years ago we are iust now observing, because the light that tells us of it has just arrived.” Thinks Farmers Of York Should Come Yorkville Enquirer. Some fifty or more Gaston county farmers visited the farms of Cleveland county, last week, and The Yorkville Enquirer believes that it would be a good thing for fifty or more York county far mers to take a day off and visit those same farms. They might learn something of value along the line of diversification. Business Man—Yes, I advertis ed for a boy about your size. Do you smoke. Applicant—No, thanks. But you can blow me to an ice cream soda if you want to. The most dangerous curve is the one that outines a dainty ankle and occupies the driver's atten tion. KITCHEN CUPBOARD By NELLIE MAXWELL Care in Illness OONTAGIOCS discuses art* due vj to distinct lt\iitK things which arc transported from one person to j another and lhe like parasites up- ! on a patient. This know ledge should ; warn us to guard ourselves and our loved ones from spread of conta Another point to be remembered Is that contagious diseases are real | things, and cannot be Ueult with as Imaginary Ills. Tlie utensils used by n patient, or Indeed anything else that he handles, during illness, limy be come u menace, as they are easily contaminated with Infectious mate rial. The bacteria and microbes which we cannot see are more deadly than any animal which we see and cun kill. A diphtheria patient will contam inate spoons, cups, forks or any thing which he handles or uses; this W true of any contagious dis ease; too much care cannot be taken of everything which comes In contact with the patient. All should be regarded with yr nlclon and treated accordingly. glon Allow no one to use any 01 uiw utensils used In case of contngious disease, even after thorough steri lisation. Keep such utensils for the patient alone. After recovery al-; low them to stand In n disinfectant solution In boiling water for sev-! eral hours. Bolling for five min-1 utes will sterilise most dishes. The j best protection against all conta- ] glon Is robust health. This Is se cured best by wholesome food, plenty of exercise nnd fresh air, as well as plenty of sleep In a well alred room. Fresh air day and night, with plenty of sunshine dur ing the day are the best of health producers. Delicate children now are al lowed to lie In the direct sunlight for hours, thus gaining vitality and strength. Rheumatism and kindred ills are cured by the sun treat ment ; exposing the body to the di rect rays of the sun has brought healing and health to many an In valid. <(£. me. Wostorn Now»pnp*r Union.)

THE FIRST INSTALLMENT WILL APPEAR NEXT MONDAY IN The Cleveland Star EVERY - OTHER - DAY Deaf Pray For Beloved Teacher Now Seriously 111 Raleigh. Near Burke Mountain, a little woman is resting, fight ing, single-handed against disease while in Raleigh and surrounding towns a large number of deaf persons are praying that this wo man’s fight will be successful. The woman is Miss Mabel Hay nes, until a short time ago the teacher and inspiration of a Sun day school class iii Raleigh for deaf persons. Five years ago. she found that there were a number of persons, male and female, married and un married, living in Raleigh, who, thought they were interested in religion and church work, seldom attended any of the Raleigh churches because of their afflic tion-deafness. She had some ear ly training in teaching the deaf though she is not deaf herself and she immediately decided there was an opportunity here to do some good work. hhc started with only a handful in this class. Until she left RaUi eigh a few months ago to recup-, orate from a disease which hid made steady encroachments, Miss Haynes conducted this class each Sunday and there came to have the Bible interpreted to them by the sign language, deaf persons from Wilson, Goldsboro, Durham and other nearby towns. Some times. Miss Haynes would have a minister on hand to address the class and she would interpret his words in the sijrn language for the class. Miss Haynes first taught the deaf at the State school for deaf at Morganton, about 15 years ago. The board of the Southern Baptist church heard of her and sent hpr to Cuba to take up the work left there bv a young teacher of the deaf. She labored for a long time i with the Cuban afflicted and while teaching had herself to study Spanish for th« work had to be done in that language. , It was while working in Cuba that she suffered a breakdown in her health from which she has never i^fully recoyercd, but which was not suf ficient to conquer her enthusiasm for her work among the deaf. A Substitute for Sleep Fmm The Hartford Courant. There are various ways of put ting people to sleep. Jack Demp sey will fcry one of them on Gene Tunney at Philadelphia on Bept ember 23. not that Tunney is trou bled by insomnia, or wants to go to sleep as a Sesquicentennial ex position exhibit, but because it is a pugilistic champion’s business to produce sleep in is fistic oppon ents. At the recent convention of the American Chemical Society the possibility of finding a con coction to perform the functions of natural sleep in restoring the vitality lost during the hours a human being is awake was com mented upon. We are ready to say “Hasten the day when slqep comes in bot tles.’’ Just think of being able to go to the drug store and asking for a night’s sleep and then, hav ing swallowed the contents of the bottle, feeling free to sit up until morning to hear what the radio says. If the sleep substitute can be taken in liquid form, without losing time in bed, a man will be able to keep fresh 24 hours and make a lot of money by working himself in three shifts. But what is the poor devil going to do who gets his chief enjoyment in life from walking in his sleep? For him there can be no sleep substi tute.
