Paris.—It is none too early,
think Parisian creators of fash
ion!! to be throwing out autumn
hints to chic women, even though
many of them have not vei com
pleted their summer wardrobes.
The chief point to be noted is
that, while still retaining the long
waist and short skirt, the silhou
ette has been definitely modified
by making it narrower. Pleat; and
flares (sometimes even of fur!)
.and other devices of fullness are
not fullness at all, but merely de
f coration, scarcely concealing the
tightness of the skirt at all.
Much tucking and much velvet
will both characterize the autumns
fashions, and much metal ns veil.
Metal is Used in numerous ways,
spiral metal belts, silver and Told
foil eutfs and collars, gowns em
broidered at the skirt-hem, waist
find neek with single hands of
* steel discs the size of little dimes.
Velvet coats are lined with s«f;
nngora wool instead of fur so they
will be warm while still fashion
ably narrow.
Autumn gowns will have muffs
to match and this means muffs of
very odd shape. One is simply a
rectangular block or ermine, with
utterly square corners. Nutria is
n favorite muff fur.
t Autumn coats have tops in
broadtail fur and skirts in velvet.
More and more fur is combined
with woven materials. Some of the
dresses show more fur than cloth
Several coats have nutria or bea
ver sleeves attached together in
back forming short fur capes.

Statesvillp Paper
Talks Shelby Case
Statesville Landmark.
As a matter of news gathered
from proceedings at Shelby as re
lated by The Star, this paper men
tioned the discovery by Shelby
lawyers that the sulary of the
| mayor of that borough, and all
similar under 10,000 ^population—
the population enumerated by the
. Federal census—was limited to
i $1,500 and tlie pay of the cOUncil
men, or aldermen, to $200 per.
Other lawyers, it is learned from
The Star, hold that the statute
does not apply, and there mu nre.
In the same connection the Shelby
mayor, apparently peeved by the
publicity given his proposed raise
in salary, invites The Star to re
frain from “speculative comment”
in connection with municipal af
fnirs. But it is gathered, from a
more or less careful reading of our
Shelby contemporary, that public
ity agency of the town of Isaac
Shelby and the county of Ben
Cleveland, is indisposed to con
sent to the mayor’s exercise of
the self-imposed duties of censor
ship with reference to municipal
happenings. The mayor’s sugges
tion had the Mussolini spirit back
of it, whether he realised it or
not. Objection to “speculative com
ment” might be variously con
strued. But in the final analysis
the Shelby alcalde was attempting
to tell The Star what it should say
with reference to municipal af
fairs; and no respectable, or self
respecting, newspaper submits to
that.

JULY 4TH M
DATE II HISTORY
I. . -.
Praism for Good Deeds Done is
Forgotten W hen One Mistake
Is .Mads*. Big Men.
Editor of The Star.
As every well-informed citiz< n
knows, this is an important date ir.
our history. One hundred and fitty
years age the immortal document
was penned by Thomas Jefferson
declaring our independence from
England and setting forth cogent
reasons for this action. Very few
are now uware of how some who
were finally persuaded to sign this
important declaration were truly
timorous souls. Others, with a grov
elling, toadying spirit, didn’t desire
nor appreciate liberty; for it rose
above their sordid and cowardly
souls. Patrick Henry, ‘Prophet of
the Revolution” realized how timid
and vaccilating people were, and
any man who tries now to sound
the alarm or bear aloft the tori h
will find that the pusillanimous
tribe are not all dead yet. The cel
uminator is still a pestilent brood;
but we are consoled with the fn< t
that the long line of patriots still
stand, elbows touching, venerating
the memory of such dauntless
spirits as Washington, Jefferson,
Henry, Franklin, and let us add the
name of Tom Paine. Of course lie
wrote the Age of Reason attacking
the Bible and the sublime faith of
the Christian; but he also penned
‘‘The Crisis" and “Common Sense’;
two books that powerfully appeal
ed to the public conscience and
fired the enthusiasm of patriots.
Of course his attack on the Bible
and Christianity created a great
prejudice against him—which
shows a perverse trait of human
nature. It was unjust to ostracise
the old hero for one mistake: but
such is life. One hundred good deeds
are forgotten at committing one
sin;; and the worst sinners make
the loudest outcry. We should re
candor, even if a man is mis
taken; but the contemptible cuss
that plays to the grandstand f< r
pelf and plunder deserves neither
v oputhy nor countenance.
But it is the common lot of those
enst in heroic mold to be slandered
and maligned. Of course no human
is perfect; and as to every human
endeavor, the trail of the serpent
is over them all. But to make n
ghoulish attack upon tbe great
name and fame of Washington,
making him a common drunkard
and libertine is certainly contempt
ible. As we become better inform
ed, we more and more realize that
Satan is a past master in • lyipg;
ami you may trace his slimy course
into the dim and hazy past and he
was ever-very economical with the
truth and was always actuated by
envy and jealousy. Milton in Parr.*1
dise Lost calls attention to the in
fernal conclave of Satan. Moloch,1
Belial and other kindred spirits:
and while Satan was the smoothest
and erafties of the abandoned hose.,
he was the most revengeful and de
praved. He is still very prominent
in the affairs of men; and his sin
ister hand is seen in business, poli
tics; and even the affairs of church.
Wherever church spires point heav
enward the devil has a chapel there
and is never tardy when the bell j

many sermons and in so-called
pious pictures, always holds the]
paintbrush. He is pleasing these de
famers of Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln, Lee, Jackson and others
immortals with the plaudit, "We:l
done, good and faithful servant—
enter into the joys of the lord.”
Hut one consolation cheers the
truly patriotic, truth is mighty and
will prevail. All the defamatory
matter with its authors will soon
be forgotten and the authors decay
in obivion. One hundred and fifty

heroes because of their courag
and candor, even if they were mis
taken as to nullification, secession
and slavery.
As I am unable today to go where
this natal day of human liberty n’
celebrated in pride, pomp and cir
cumstance—I can declare my con
victions as to this occasion.
I am proud that these deathless
patriots builded wiser than thuv
knew", and that we have the great
est, most powerful and richest na
tion on earth. Hut God grant that
we may not become weak, profligate
and effeminate. May we cultivate
a reverence for law and order ar,.l
strive to banish illiteracy from out
shores. May the toady and the
purseproud be consigned to the ob
livion they deserve. May the broad
spirit of Christian charity prevail
and justice be enthroned.
CORNCRACKER.
( By InternWtionul News Service.) !
Clinton, N. Y.—With the charges i
of the State health officials of
practicing medicine without a li- !
cense falling flat before n jury, I
“Dr.” William S. Pine, famed “In-1
dian herb doctor,” is again prac-!
tising “medicine” for the multi
tude.
And the surprising part of the!
affair is that the line of waiting
patients is longer than ever before
and many ol' them have to wait as
long as three or four hours to ob
tain the advice of the Indian medi
cine man and his herbs.
“Dr.” Pine was tried before a
jury of six of his “peers” in the I
little basement court room of Jus- I
tice of the Peace E. A. Easingwood 1
in' Clinton Town hall, and when
the jurors filed in and announced !
the verdict of ‘‘not guilty” there
was a burst of applause from the
spectators that nearly shook
the roof.
from the numerous outbursts of
applause during the course of the
trial it was evident that the folks
fjown his way have a lot of faith
in the healing powers of “Dr.”
Pine and his herbs.
The complainant was Sergt. E.
L. Keely of the State police, who
admitted he was forced tr war:
three hours on April 2o when he
went to “Dr.” Pine's office to be
cured of his faked ills. He was ac
companied hy Deputy Sheriff
Ferdinand Baker.
Ur. Pine was prosecuted by
George Fleekenstein, deputy from
the State attorney general’s office,
and was defended by William Ross
Lee, Utica attorney.
I When the crowd shouted “No!”
: to Ude’s rhetorical question to the
I jury, “Can they call ane one here
I who will testify against Mr. Pine
as not having benefited as a re
Jsuit of his herbs?” Fleekenstein
| demanded a mistrial, us he did on i
; numerous other occasions, but (
| Justice Easing wood denied the
! motion.
j’1 There were no witnesses for

he had none supoenacd and would

Says Lady Who Tell* How
Cardui Helped Her When
She Was Run-Down.
Hopkins, S. C.—Mrs. G. W. Arrant^
' of this place, says:
"I was suffering from spells of 1 j
weakness. These would come on me j '
suddenly and I would have to give 11

. months I did not sleep well at night
| and got no rest from sleep. I was

When I would feel a nervous spell

"I can certainly say Cardui helped
me wonderfully, for after a time the1

depend on the weakness of the
prosecution to free the defendant.
All the trouble, resulting in the
arrest of “Dr.” Pine, was the re
sult of jealousy on the part of : lie
medical profession, so Lee told tl.e
jury.
Deputy Baker told the jury how
he had lied to the medicine man in
asking him to treat Trooper Keely
by telling Pine that Keely was
losing weight and was wearing a
vest that was too large for hi n.
This is part of what Lee told
the jury, which ended in the ac
quittal:
"Pine is what is known as a herb
specialist. God put healing juices
into the herbs for substantially
every known disease, and if the
medical men have not seen fit to
avail themselves of them it’s their
own fault.”

JAUNT ON SKATES
Begin 400-Mile Journey On Roller j
Skates. Journey From Kansas
Tc Illinois.
(By International New? Service.)
Kansas City, Kan.—-Mrs. Henry
I’fetzing, a forty-nine year old
mother and her eighteen year old (
daughter Anna Catherine. have
started home on roller skates. They
left Kansas City, Kan., bound for
Havana, 111., a distance of about
four hundred miles.
“Everyone enjoys something d:f- ,
ferent nowadays,’’ the mother said
before leaving. “Of course it will i
not be the equivalent of a Lind- i
bergh feat, but we’ll get a thrill
out of it ,and that’s just what
we’re after,’’ she said.
Mrs. Pfetzing, who is a busi
ness woman of Havana, 111., w'ent
to Manhattan, Kan., to see her
daughter graduate from the h:gh
school there.
The two decided they warned to
do something novel. They thought
ot walking the 400 miles, but fig
uring the home folks might dis
approve, and after all it wasn’t a
new thing to do. Then they decid
ed to skate.
The parr contemplated making
about fifty miles a day.
It’s a poor Welsh rarebit that
doesn’t make you regret having
formed its acquaintance.
Only after a public favorite has
become a “has-been” does he be
gin to realize the emptiness of ap
plause.
