j fcyip of Staff Corresponded* at tibrld Centers af Population ({:v (harks A. Smith. INS Staff Correspondent.) I <infjnr..-—That men are beeom jB;, t.ott.-r looking and women less; ••wif-worlcy'*' seems to be the pop ul,r comment on this year's Royal) Academy of Art. j (m the whole critics bear out1 lh„ ..pinion chat Englishmen have i |)f„)m0 better looking during the | p!; t half century. . There is more character in ; Tacf today,” says Profesor II. J. FI, lire, the anthropologist of the; I'niver ity of Wales, and more de- , velopment of l,one and muscle in j then;. This has made for more | i „me features. It is generally! (Fought that the face.yof this gen-1 (ration have a more nervous and intense look. Generally that is not’ correct. They express increased in telligence and testify to the spread ! of education.”; “A darker and more composite type has taken the place of the dear A> glo-Saxon face which was common in my boyhood,” says Henry Pegram, famous sculptor. F o r- today are much more alert j r.nd hi',Idle. Not only are men and! women better looking but also ( > ir faces are much more interest ing owing to the greater mixture of ,ypes than were those of Vic torian times. Particularly among women we have in Britain many more classical features—much more so general? than in Greece—an cii;: or modern. There are espec ialy fine heads among the yonng athletes of this generation.” The longest authenticated drive hit by a woman in a long driving compe itiOn has been made by "Miss Molly Ramseden, competing , in the open meeting of the Stoke j Pages dub, at Slough. < Miss Ramseden drove a ball i from the first tee a distance of j 232 yards, 8 inches. The amazing length of such a ( drive for a lady golfer can be best appreciated when it is compared with the length of the drives hit | by the world’s best professionals in the annual driving competition in Britain. When Arcliie Compston won this event last year his average for three drives was a few inches short of 263 y&rds. In earlier com petitions Walter Hagen hit n ball 259 yards 7 inches, Cyril Tolley drove a ball 259 yards 15 in. and Abe Mitchel slugged one 263 yards G inches. But in these instances the shots were the best of a selected num ber, and the general average of professional driving in competi tions does not exceed 230 yards, which makes Miss Ramseden’s feat all the more remarkable. “Recorder of laughs,” is fho lat est mysterious profession in Lon don. In any London theatre nowadays one sees one or two men making strange entries in a notebook as the play progresses. They are the official laugh-recorders. Their duty is to make a detail ed and exact list of every laugh and the very letter of the place where it occurs, as a guide to au thor and producer. Edgar Wallace had the laughs tabulated in his recent play “Dou ble Dan.” There were exactly 400. But half the jokes came out the next evening and others were sub stituted. Laugh-recording is not as sim ple as it seems. The man has to have a very astute and well-train ed ear, as well as a fine discrimina tion for distinguishing between the right and wrong sort of laugh. RECORDER’S COURT HITS At RUTHERFORD CRIME Rutherfordton.--The Rutherford county recorder’s court continues to be a busy place. Judge John P. Bean is making it hard on law violators. Court is held on Monday, Tuesday and Friday of each week. Judge Bean tried 94 cases in May, sent eight men to the county roads and turned over $1,400.05 to the county school fund, which re presented fines in his court. Since January 1 he has turned over to the county school fund $3, 719.45. He tried 21 cases in one day in May, which was a record. WHY IS SMILES LONGEST WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE? It has been most truthfully said that the longest word in the Eng lish language is “smiles,” because there is a mile between the first and last letter. If this answer to the riddle is not satisfactory to some, here’s one that ought to meet the most fastidious taste: Smiles are the greatest aid to di gestiorv^tho most important asset to human popularity, the strongest weapon with which to drive away a grouch, and the ‘show windows’ of a happy soul. Anybody can frown at calamity but it takes a philosopher to smile when all around him seems dark and dis- j mat. '(By Evelyn McDonald, INS Stafl Correspondent.) ! Paris.—Pola Negri’s gorgeous trousseau- contains ail the chef jd’oeuvres in Jeanne I.npvin’s lat est collection. | Everyone of Sliss Negri's cos tumes was especially designed for her by this clever Parisian coutur , iere, with the result that even j blase French women exclaimed : over her array of smart finery. No vulgar display of wealth was detected in a single frock. Every j detail was simple. Dresses wore I girlish and fashioned in the bouf fant style so favored by this house. Even the especially chic hats were j untrimmed and remarkal>e only I in cut and workmanship. Miss Negri chose green, old rose ar.d black ensembles and suits for her brief honeymoon at Deau ville. An appealing bois de rose coat bound with real lizard skin followed sport lines with its sim ple belt and buttons running down the front. The Turkish influence was noticed in a green ensemble. The dress had embroidered scal lops and.the coat was in black lame line lined with green, a very color combination. The tailored black alpaca suit with white braid and blouse was worn with a. Lan jvinish turban. Two other fetching frocks were in rose shades so be ; star. Both were in soft crepe de i chine and a rose mousse coat was j worn over them in case of coo! Normandy breezes, i Of course the panne velvet wed j ding gown was the piece de de sistance of the Arousseuu. The I bride was breathtaking in this j mediaval dress and scalloped un | even skirt and pearl trimmed neck. A pearl head-dress completed the costume. Lovely diamonds and pearls added io the elegance of the outfit. SOCIETY (Continued from page 5) the luncheon most bountiful and delicious.

REYNOLDS HEIRS TO GET $50,000 ASM’ \I.1.Y Winstor.-Salem.'*-~Thc suit en titled Safety Deposit and Trust Co., of Baltimore, vs. H. J. Rey nolds, jr., and other children of the late R.

Harding in Su perior court, after which Judge Harding stated that he would au thorize the trustee to pay the plaintiffs in the case *50,000 each annually while the beneficiaries are between tne ages of 21 and 28 years.

Gastonia Woman Killed In Wreck Gastonia.—Mrs. Ollie Ballard, aged 55, resident of East Gastonia, was instantly killed here Friday when the car in which she was rid ing collided with a Southeastern Express co/ipary truck, driven by Frank Putnam at. Airline avenue and church street. When the crash came she was throw'n out on the pavement and her neck was broken. Her husband, driving the car, escaped injury. Frank Putnam, jr.* spn of the truck driver, had his arm severely cut in the accident and was re moved to a hospital for medical attention No arrest was made in the case, an investigation apparently showing that the collision was an accident. If a man is unable to make an ass of himself in any other way, depend on him to do it with a few drinks of prohibition liquor. Every time we pass a farm with fine buildings, up to date machin ery, a sedan in the yard and a tractor in the field, we wonder where the farmer got his farm re lief. • IT TIE MOVIES - The Webb theatre is advertising two exceptionally good shows this week. “Resurrection” the United Artists picture, on a par but said to be better than the others of this series is due tomorrow. This picture has been acclaimed in the big cities as one of the masterpieces of the year. Theatre goers are advised to see it by all means, ns an ex ponent of the finest in films. The oict"re was made from the Tolstci novel of the same name. It is a terse and dramatic study of the struggles of two human souls, submerged imrier the pall of an indiscreet act. climbing back up the ladder to self respect. It is one of the greatest novels Tolstoi wroto, ami the pic ture clings faithfully to the text. Thursday “Tillie the Toiler" with Marion Davies is the feature bill. The tempestuous carp-free live* of the younger generation are held up for inspection in “The Whirl wind of Youth” Paramount* absorb ingly interesting production which ernne* to the Princess Tuesday. Much of the story is laid in Paris and the hectic studio life is shown in mnnv colorful sequences. An un sophisticated girl arrives from an Knglish village to study art and her introduction to Paris is filled with •ornrise*—though it brings tl e thrill" and exaltation of a great love into her life. But the subse quent history of this girl, played by delectable I.ois Moran, emphasizes anew the truth of the time-worn adage that "the course of true love never runs smooth.” CARD OF THANKS.
