Four men, charged with participation in the gun battle, have been arrested and rre expected to face trial at an early date. Jack contemplated marriage and asked a friend who had been through the experience:: “Tell me, Jake, what did you call your mother-in-law when you were married ?” “The first year,” his friend re plied, ‘“I just called her ‘Say.’ After that I called her ‘Grandma’.” Neighbor: “So you have twins at your house.

REINHARDT — South Shelby MILLIONS Are Wasted in TIRES— Tire manufacturers say that more tires are ruined hy under-inflation than by actual wear. Even the new “balloon” tire needs atetntion—and mhation by gauge and not by guess. There’s free air waiting for you at practically every filling station—and a gauge for testing tue pressure, too. Don’t kick your tires to find out if they are in flated enough. If you do you’ll pay for the kick 'vhen you have to buy a new tire. Keep your tires properly inflated—then tire ex pense” will be nominal. Yours sincerely, JORDAN-CHEVROLET COMPANY S. I.aPayettc Street. > Shelby, N. C. -PHONE 265. - || |, . Mill ■! M r DAILY NEWS LETTER Gossip Staff Correspondents At Worid Centers Population ^----—■ (By Alice Langelier. Interna tional News Service Staff Corres pondent.) Paris.—This is Paris’dullest sea son, it any time in the year can be railed <alm in Paris. Of course a large number of Parisians are al v.avs at winter resorts in Switzer land or somewhere on the Riviera. The men have little to keep them busy, for politics are always dull at this season and business is slow. Ii fact, it seems slower than ever this year for tourists are here in fewer numbers and that means the res taurants and shops are not crowded at all and the cabaret-keepers are making so little money they arc« closing up all around Montmartre. A great many Frenchmen were fussing when the dollar was at 35, but now more of them are doing it because it is ten points lower. But, there are some people who can't make any complaint anil they are the Casino-keepers. Their busi ness is getting better and better ev ery day according to the 1926 re port which shows 128 more mil lions made in gambling-halls than during the year 1925. The total amount is placed at 280 millions, 152 millions more than in 1923, thus showing an increase of 150 per cent within the space of 3 years Reports from the ten most im portant Casinos in France give the following figures: Million francs Deuville__ 44,653,000 Biarritz ___ _____ —- 42,993,000 Touquet, Paris __ _____37,700,000 Nice municipal __ .33,918,000 Cannes, municipal .-.-33,857,000 Grand Casino de Vichy __ .28,285,000 Aix-les-Bains --...24,093,000 Jetee Promenade de 17,714,000 7.550.000 1 7.918.0001 There will be no beautiful de Boulogne within a few years, if ev-j eryone of the 500„000 visitors who go there every Sunday continue j to pluck twigs and branches from the trees. This is what Monsieur Forestier who has been the curator for over 40 years, warns Parisians j He also says ..hat the French capi tal really needs four fine woods like this one, on the outskirts of, the city, if it is to preserve the | one it has. The gas from the many automobiles is thought to have greatly injured the fine trees, and a great error has been made in a!- j lowing the Bois which is a great park, to become the exit for all west-bound traffic. Nice -- -- Dieppe Juan les l’ins The famous old Pont de la Con cords which loads to the Chamber 1 of Deputies is going to he made much wider, to provide for the ever increasing number of people and automobiles which pass over it ev ery day. The present temporary footbridge, which was put up dur ing last summer’s exposition, will h» moved further downstream, and ■ finally done away with altogether when the work, which is calculated to occupy three years, is completed. The foundations will be strengthen ed and it has been suggested that tho twelve colossal statues of fa-! moua Frenchmen originally placed along the bridge be restored. They 'vere removed in the time of Louis Philippe because it was thought that the piles could not stand their weight. They are now in the main courtyard of the palace at Versail les. Fetes, on a very large scale, cel-' ebrating the ninth century of the birth of William the Conqueror, arc being planned for Caen and Falaisc on the Normandy coast, next June. It is proposed to build replicas of the vessels in which William and his men sailed for England. They will go from Dives-sur-Mer to Havre and then up the Seine to Houen where ceremonies will be held. One of the oldest guides of the Chamonix valley, ^French Switzer land,’’ has just died at the age of 8‘d years. Frederic Payot was IkJ^v ed by all the tourists and inhabi tants of this little land of Eternal i Snow and of late years hud grown to be a real celebrity. He now lies ; in the little cemetery in the shadow of the great Mont Blanc which he! had ascended at least thirty times:1 Word comes from the Riviera that an explosion in a gallery drive en into the rock at Antibes has op ened a cavern containing the statue of a Virgin. It is mounted on a }x'd e#ta! hewn in the solid rock and i.t partly covered by calcareous de posits owing to the dripping of wa ter from the roof of the cavern which is believed to have been the place of worship of some of th • early Christians. ARCHITECTS WII.I, COMPETE ON SHAKESPEARE MEMORIAL (By International Nows Service.) SiratfonLon-A von - The Royal institute of British architects ha prepared a site plan and specifi- j cations for the new Shakespeare memorial theatre, to he erected at Stratford-on-Avon in place of the theatre burned last March. The plan and specifications will form the basis of n competition open to American as well us Brit ish architects. Re-building the theatre is to he, combined with a Stratford-on-Avon town-planning scheme. By this an unsightly block of buildings be tween Bank Croft gardens and the 1 approach to Clopton midge will 1 swept away. It will also provide approaches to a new bridge which will span the Avon at this parnt, diverging from the historical fifteenth-cen tury Clopton bridge—which Shakes pcare crossed so often—and preserv ing it intact for the delight of fu ture generations. The estimated coat of the nee theatre is $500,000. Towards this: the governors have $250,000 and are appealing to the public for the j rest. Miss Louvae Crum has been chosen as honorary colonel of the reserve officers' training corps at Wichita University and has been presented with a regulation uni form. is.
