The present Civil War pension roll reached its high tide thirty years ago at 745,000, said the de partment of the interior. The number of widows of Civil War veterans also has decreased. 191.000 of them being on the pen sion list at the end of the year. This was 5,000 fewer than six months ago. The Spanish-American War vet erans are increasing on the rolls, with 173,000, an increase of 10,000 in six months, and 27,000 widows. Of the other wars only thirteer widows of soldiers of the War of 1C12 remain as receiving pensions, while there are 802 widows of the Mexican War soldiers. There are 5.000 veterans of the Indian wars and 3,000 widows of these veterans. _ Flowered Bonnets In Spring Styles Paris.—Leading Parisian milliners have startled their customers some what ty displaying flower trim mings on the new spring hats. The flowers are small and unobtrusive, but are attracting much attention because their return after such long banishment was unexpected. They are worn on one Bide of the brims or a bunch is placed on eith er side of poeketbook forms, pro viding a decidedly old-fashioned ef fect. Scarves of printed silks are al so being used as trimmings—usu ally directly on the form or wrapped around the crown and falling over one shoulder or down the back or tied und£r the chin. Felt and straw combinations are featured by smart milliners. Colors are contrasted or one tone super imposed upon another. There is no set fashion in this respect In the matter of hat shapes, the sharp point showing a bit of the forehead is giving way to a gentle curve. Crowns are slightly less round than they have been. Thirty-Six Years Ago. Hish Point Enterprise. What were you doing 36 years ago? Recently the activities of two well known men 36 years ago have been discussed in the public prints. One of these is J. J. Davis, secre tary of labor in the Coolidge cabinet. Thirty-six years ago exactly he was a l'.cbo out of work in New Orleans. He was hunting for a roustabout’s job in Birmingham as a steel pud dler. Davis recalled the facts when he was in New Orlean^ recently to make an address. Thirty-six years ago the presi dent-elect became groom for the stable of a family at Palo Alto near where he received his notification of nomination for the presidency and where he heard of his election. He was a student then, looking for any gainful emp’oyment to help pay his way through college. He took care of the horses, the employ er then of Herbert Hoover recalls. Almost any prominent American whose life one might study would be found 36 years ago filling a lowly place and -without money. In 36 | years, opportunities are such in this i Western world, that the individual i of the greatest social and economic . handieap can make almost what he J will of his career. The wildest sort i of guessing and probably all of It wide of the mark would be indulg ed if the wisest and best informed citizen under! to pick the ten boys of the'present High Point who will become the ten mat influen tial and powerful men 36 years hence. Between what one is and what one may be particularly in a land like ours, is a range of such tre mendous possibilities that prophe cies are idle. What were you 3C years ago, you elders? What wil you younger folk be in 36 years? Star Want Ads. “GUS AND GUSS1E”- No Sympathy Needed *'t>j | wntiiU Flossie's BLUES WENT OVER i LIKE HOOVER, AND HER EA<SSR * PuBLVC DEMANDS A REPEAT CHORUS.

From The American Sketch. Producers are groping vainly for a new cycle. Underworld pictures have been so over-produced that they are waning; pictures about theatrical people are becoming a drug. War pictures sometime ago were done to death. Wings resusci ated their popularity a little, but by now aeroplanes are no longer novel. Several pictures have been done about news-reel camera meu and women, and there is a flurry of interest in newspaper pictures which reflects the popularity of the play The Front Page. But a new subject or a new char acter is sorely needed. There are some indications, in the recent boldness of producers in risking .censorship, that the prostitute may suddenly be glorified. Shades of Mary Pickford. Switzerland Season Busy. With snow falling earlier than usual Switzerland reports a longer and busier seasorj than for several years. At Wengeh and some other resorts, every Toora In the hotels and pensions was occupied by the middle of December, and the places have been busy since that time. Among the out-door amusements are Ice gymkhanas. ski-joring parties! skl'ng contests, and skating and curling competitions. j Gastonian Theatre GASTONIA, N. C.
