Too Much Eve In A “Slim Blonde” Stanly Nnm-HwiM. -- ..Tiny lire not all like this, but (•4,many young girl* aspire to bo the yery kind of creature described In the. following, article clipped from the AfsheTflle Times. To such young women, we want to ask that Bread the article thoughtfully, lknow that not nil men go wild about a girl who in order to appear too t'Un will impoverish her body and depreciate her natural beauty t»>.gay nothing of health impair ment, all with the hope of making * stronger appeal to the opposite oe*. When you do that you show your lack of knowledge of the aver age red blooded man’s taste. You can never make the appeal you are seeking by impairment, of. your health, impoverishment, of. hodv nor by a feigned boldness not na tural to a normal female nor in fooping with a man’s, idea , of a beautiful woman.. Read the fol lowing article and reflect. . Says the Asheville Times:_ ... . . ... 8Se wan a thin blonde and about nineteen. Vacantly pretty. She lay atretched full length in the chair. H being a barber’s chair, nhe lay •pon her back. Number Three bar ber had finished scissoring her yel l«w fluff and shaving her neck be hind. Number One boots had shin ed her black patent-leathers with PSoIr silver-grey three-inch, heels. And now the barber had depressed the chair to horizontal and she lay atretched amidst the Saturday aft ernoon men while, the. manicure, bending closer to see. plucked pale hairs one by one from her brows. . ‘She wore white silk stockings. Her slim legs, that would boast lit tle enough curve with her weight an them, extended like, straight sticks from the skirt-line above her knees to the black shoes, on. the real. Her poverty of body was in timately revealed under the scanti ness of a not cheap dress. Men in the other chairs stared at her from time, to time, reflectively;, the younger ones curiously, the other? coldly; one with a sneer. Occas ionally her flat chest jerked to th< pluck of the tweezers.. Two. men grinned at ea«’i other in the look ing-glassed wall. .. .. -.“The manicure brought a scar lot perfumed pencil. She wetted if end in her mouth rs ah" painted *'• girl's lips carefully, in a Cupid's bow. .j,..... —“When the manicure had finish ed- the girl got up and fixed her self leisurely, standing between a hair-cutting chair and a shaving chair, at the mirrors. As she did this i-*te surveyed .the reflected fae emof the men. As she paid her bill ahe flickered her glance over the pnop. Then cooly she strolled out. ..‘“There was a time,’ murmured the manicure,, bending, with, her topla to the lathered male In nnm her One, 'when thia was a barber •hop. Sweet yesteryear! Why don’t Xou men get excited, sitting arounr' ere with your costs off in Marne’? boodwah? .Ain't a free show got dny thrill for you'?” ... _ _The above article was headed “TOO MUCH EVE," hut we think it should have been entitled. “NOT fSNOUGH EVE.” T^he p'x*r misguided youngster Via doubtless "putting out” be ywtd her natural inclinations in •Mir to make herself attractive •®d alluring to the opposite sex, 4nd unfortunately, instead of add Wg’lo her beauty and attrartive mMs, ahe was making a monkey of hctaelf in the eyes of the very bhW ahe would have allured and taftinated. . Don’t forget this, girls. T’tis 1 a pretty plain talk, but we write It With the sincere desire to help misguided girls, and there arc too itttjr of them.

Baggage Man Plays Carnegie To Folks Mountain Of South Andrew Carnegie, with his jrifts of millions for libraries, never re ceived (treater thanks than Robert M. Cobb, of Atlanta, Ga., baggage man on the Southern railroad fly er which runs from Atlanta to Salisbury. He is the librarian for all of the mountain people in the lonesome stretches between these cities. How he has achieved this dis tinction without a single dollar in endowments is told in the Ameri can Mngazine’for August. The ar ticle says: “Cobbs goes through the train, gathers up the papers and maga zines that the passengers have thrown aside, straightens them out into readable shape, ties them in bundles, and throws them out at points where he thinks they will be most appreciated. “People soon learned of this free delivery, gathered at the outdoor offices, and waited for the train that put them in touch with the outside world. Most of those he serves are strangers. The only glimpse they ever have of him is when his train thunders past, and the bundle of reading matter comes sailing out and lands in a swirl of dust and cinders. But he has his regular customers too. There is an old couple who cannot read, for whom he pri^mres a collection of illustrated papers. A large share of the comic papers goes to a fam ily with several children. “At the time of the breaking out of the World War, people hun gered for news as they had never hungered before. When he saw the papers and magazines that were left on the seats being sw^pt up and destroyed at the end of the run it looked to him like a sinful waste, when there were so many who would have been glad to have them. “At first he threw out papers only to the families of section fore men, people that he knew. But the service widened and spread until it included many families and small communities nil along the route. Later, when America entered the war, Mr. Cobb realized how much more news meant to the peo ple, as everyone was personally interested in what was happening, and all were eager for the very latest from the front. "When construction work began on Camps-Sevier, Wadsworth, nnd Gordon, all three directly on the main line of the Southern, it open ed up wonderful opportunities for this baggage-man's labor of love. In each camp were some thirty thousand young soldiers in train ing, and everyone of them wanted tidings from the fighting line. "He distributed more papers nt Camp Sevier than at any other point. As the troops there were recruited from North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and many of the periodicals found were published in those states, the soldiers often -found copies of their home town papers in their bundles. By this time, Mr. Cobb was well known along his route. Many peo ple who received the papers wrote in to thank the unknown benefac tor, and inquire his name. Now he often gets letters telling him how helpful the reading matter has been, and how much the writers appreciate his kindness; and the children remember him with little gifts of candy and cake. Some of the boys on his route keep his table well supplied with rabbits. "One day he was presented with a basket of fruit and vegetables. An old man traveled forty miles in a buckboard with them. " When he reached Spencer, N. C„ he found he would have to wait two days be fore Mr. Cobb's arrival. He waited, and Mr. Cobb got the basket. "When the great war was over, and the training camps abandoned, and there was less demand for news, he selected certain families in lonely districts, and kept up his free delivery to them. "Mr. Cobb got his first job with the old Richmond and Danville railroad, now the Southern, in 1887. He was left an orphan at an early age, his father, an officer in the Confederate army having died of wounds received in battle, and his mother dying soon after. He was born at the old Cobb home stead, long a landmark in DeKalb county, Georgia.” Surfaced Highways. Carolina ranks twenty eighth in size and fourteenth in population but only seven states rank ahead of us in the numher of miles of hard-surfaced highways maintained by the state. Further more only eight states rank ahead of us in the number of miles of surfaced roads maintained by local governments, which happens to be counties in North Carolina. The United States bureau of public roads reports that on January 1, 1928, N. C."had 5,311 miles of state constructed and state-maintained surfaced highways, and 14,706 miles of surfaced highways main tained by counties. This refers to a year and a half ago The mileage of surfaced highways has been in creased considerably during the last eighteen months, and due to the rapidity with which we are con str<>cting state and local highwajs it is Very probable that our rank is higher now than at that time. 25* Anniversary | Step Ins With black and whfto checked heela have tripped thcmacleca right Into the heart of Fashion.
