This will be strictly adherred to MONDAY. FEB. 25, 1929. TWINKLES .One way of saying it is that the Shelby high school teems to have a tootin’ good band. Well, one thing about it, the knock-kneed g:rlies will do very little knocking about the late ruling of Dame Fashion that the dress must cover the knees hereafter. A streamer in a large daily newspaper says, “Doran Charges Laxity On Part of Officers Results in Poor Enforce ment.” Is that news new enough to deserve such a large headline? ' Cpolidge’s silence at least gives him one unique place in history. He’s the only fisherman we ever heard of who came in from a fishing trip and did not have a big story to relate about his experiences and catches. We’ve heard about the fellow whose right hand never knew what his left hand was doing, and it appears to us as if the weather here one day does not have the least idea what the weather of the next day will be. Snow and sleet today, Spring sunshine tomorrow. Vice versa, and so on. A Charlotte News editorial the other day was headed, "A Man Who Needs His Tongue Treated.” Wq read the edi torial with the expectation that it might mention the name of Tom Heflin. But it didn’t; the mm named was Herr Krupp, whom some might dare call the German Heflin. In one way Mr. Hoover seems to have rewarded nearly all of his leading supporters, for it seems as if nearly every prominent or near prominent Republican in the county, in cluding the leading Hoover-Democrats, have at least been mentioned for his cabinet. Some of the Washington corespondents are wondering If Mr. Hoover, due to his Quaker faith, will swear when he takes the oath of office next month. Perhaps he can, and perchance he cannot, but who would lay a t\vo-to-one wager that he hasn’t “cussed” a single time during the stam pede about him for cabinet jobs? Down to Raleigh they consider it big news because Rep resentative Odus M. Mull has been calling a spade just what it is in his fight upon Republican measures. Seemingly those who considered such an attitude by 'hiin as unusual news have not been any too well acquainted with his career prior to the time he entered legislature again to be near his close friend, Governor Gardner. OUR HIGHWAY HOPES •THIS PAPER has not the least idea whether or not Cleve land county will be given any amount of paved or improv ed highways during the Gardner administration, and1 that goes for the proposed Shelby-Polkville-Marion highway, but we do have a pretty well-fixed idea that the county has some thihg coming its way in highways. , If politics has prevented us from getting our share of highways in the past, politics certainly should make up in 'part for such conditions. . AL FRANK AS EVER IT SEEMS as if A1 Smith, hated in some sections and very popular in others just keeps on being absolutely frank ""•bout what he says. According to the careful Associated ; Press Smith and Raskob; who was his campaign manager, wo re in Cuba the other day, and Raskob when he picked up ft glass of champagne said, “We can’t do this in our homes.” “Legally,” Smith qualified. 2- • That fellow doesn’t seem to know how to beat around the htump to keep from telling the blunt truth. |Vc .. * . BEN LACY’S PLACE A NEW STATE treasurer may have been appointed by the . Wme this is read, but state treasurers may come and go for Many years before official circles in Raleigh can over dook the void there left by the death last week of Ben Lacy, who was elected by the people for eight four-year terms in the office. Ben Lacy’s name was a fixture in the public life fyt North Carolina and was a household word the state over. TJlt sentiment of Governor Gardner well portrays the re epeet which was tendered the late state official by those who Anew him: jjf "No finer Christian gentleman ever lived than Ben Lacy. Able, conscientious, unfailingly courteous, serenely gentle, a loving husband and father—he was the living embodiment "»t those qualities I have always been taught to reverence LJjle loved God and kept His commandments from earl jrouth on, yet there was about his life a softer glow of understanding and sympathy. His inspiring sense duty did not make him any less lovable. He was one of very few men I have known who was literally not afraid to die. His sublime faith was absolutely unclouded by doubt. "The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken. XAiyV dust goes back to that of the state he loved so well —*-*t to the God he served with beautiful devotion. a benediction on the public service and his wiU be cherished always by the people of North » HAS MONAZITE A CHANCE IN THE OPINION of some in this section a tariff may be 1 placed on monazite at the next session of Congress thus making it worthwhile for the people of this section to again mine monazite. On the other hand, in the year of an unusal Republican victory with the South splitting up, there are those who do not expect a monazite tariff due to the fact that more tariff demands are being made now than ever be fore, and because the monazite hearing is along at the foot of a vast amount of tariff appeals. An idea as to the de mand for protective tariff may be gained from the follow ing comment by the New York World: “The hearings on the various schedules of the Tariff Law have brought scores of protectionist advocates to Wash ington. The last schedule, on which hearings are held this week, has brought the largest crowd of all. That schedule is the free list. “Despite its,many absurdly high duties the present law admits some things free of duty. Among them we find as afoetida, bananas, manna, palaezoic fossils, broken bells, na tural teeth, Bibles and joss sticks. But if the 300 spokes men who are clamoring to be heard get what they want there will be little of the free list left. The apple growers, for ex ample, want a prohibitive duty on bananas, on the assump tion that if a consumer can't get a banana he might eat an apple. And so it goes. The American producers have gone duty-mad. Such a situation bodes ill for the limited tariff revision which the new Administration is now committed. So many appetites have been whetted for the coming feast that the Republican leaders are going to have a hard time keeping one crowd away from the table while letting another crowd in. We expect to hear the crashing of the gate before the new session is many days old.” “Nobody’s Business’’ - BY GEE McGEE - (Exclusive In The Star In This Section.) 1, Something new! The “Tap Dance" Just recently loomed up on the horizon, presumably to take the place of the "Black Bottom” and the "Charleston,” both of which died a natural death last year. Tap dancing with be Indulged in almost solely by good-looking girls who have fine flggers that make them good-looking. Now. this is how "tap dancing” is done: 1. Remove your dress. 2. Keep your teddies on. 3. Do not remove your brassiere. 4. Put on thin shirt waist, leeveless. 5. Pull down your stockings. 6. Keep your slippers on. 7. Line-up In Forward March formation. 8. Do the buzzard lope. 9. Mix In a little hop-scotch. I 10. Kick about knee high in concert. 11. Then do it backwards. I 12. And, Presto! You've "tap danced." Back yonder in the early 90’s square dancing- was the thing, (then round dancing sprung from hugging standing up, that is —a couple was caught hugging, and they began to Jump around nnd about, and told the "catcher" that they were only waltzing, and there’s where that kind of dancing got started. Later on. other dances came and went, fur-ristance; the hoochy koochy. common in side-shows, which were well attended by old married men and young bucks, then "Balling the Jack" came and stayed a short while and passed on, and a little later on. we en joyed "holding tire mule," and drifted Into the fox trot, the tur key trot, the bunhy hug. and many other social degradations. Automobiles have just about broke up the parlor dancing. It is much easier to hug in a lizzie than it is crowded in a close room with others doing the same thing, j so the lovers ride more now-a-days where nobody don't, pay too much attention to them. I am always glad to sec new dances come on the market. The newer they are. the more perfect ly they show up the human dia phragm. and the "American Hula —Hula" ain’t very far off. accord ing' to my way of thinking. The “Hula” requires a short grass skirt, a string of beads, and a guitar, an soforth. Doings Around The Capitol. Washington. D. C.. February 25. —The health of the community Is good at present, except some of the boys down tn the war depart ment have taken the “flu" from over-work in connection with the World Peace pact which requires the early completion of 267 mil lion dollars worth of cruisers—by the time all the nations have sign ed up. President Coolldge sneesed yes terday morning on arising, but his physician says that he was able to eat 3 soft-boiled eggs for break fast. and shows no further symp toms of sneezing, but is avoidin' oepper as much as possible.

He called at Smith’s old head quarters, but the election was re ported over and the business wound up. He dropt in to see Mr. Mellon and they conversed for some time about steel and alumi num. Mr. Raskob does not yet know whether he will be a Repub lican or a Democrat at the next presidential election, but Is speak ing favorably of the Hoover ad ministration. A pound party was given at the Willard hotel Friday night by • the wives of the cabinet members in honor of Capt. Fried who was In town telling the folks how Mr Manning saved the survivors of the steamship Florida. While there, he put on a blindfold test for the new Luckyfield cigarette, and they gave him 2 packs for his services. Nearly everybody bought a pound of candy to the party ex cept the 8en. from California, who brought raisins, and the Congress man from Florida, who brought grape fruit. A good time was had by all. Sen. Borah has given up the idea of collecting enough money from his colleagues to reimburse his oil friends for the sum they con tributed to the O. O. P. (Good Old Pals) through the sale of the Continental bonds and the Salt Creek petroleum fields. He turn ed over the $4.98 that he had in the treasury to the Near East Re lief workers to be used in Chicago, at the new crime wave celebra tion which comes off next Satur day night. The weather has beeen very cold in Washington here of late, and the general Ireeze-up among radia tors and bath-rooms has been at tributed to the low’ temperatures prevailing, according to the local weather bureau. Sec. Jardine had to walk to work last Wednesday afternoon because his lizzie wouldn’t crank, due to frost. He is in very good health at present, and looks for lower prices on cotton, tobacco, and wheat. Those Ground Bills.

Try Star Wants Ads Something To Think About Next Civilization By BRUNO LESSING. 1 Luther Felt man of San Francisco, writes, ‘‘I wish you would write an article sometime -on the subject of ‘noise.’ So much talk about Prohibition, women’s morals and religion, but so little Is said on this very im portant subject, ‘noise.’ Here In San Francisco we folks live for the most part In apartment houses and hotels, and the noises of the streets are fast becoming intolerable. Now 1 am a fellow who likes to read and concentrate on works of a philoso phical nature and can't think right ly unless I have quiet.” 1 Dear Brother Feltman, this writ er sympathizes with you. But you must remember that you are llv l ing in a noisy age. And you are lucky to live in San Francisco. If you want to know what real noise is, live in Chicago or New York for a while. You will be glad to get back to the Golden Gate. For real consolation, however, you should read Schopenhauer’s es say on noise. Here are a few quo tations from it: “The super-abundant display of vitality, which takes the form of knocking, hammering and tum bling things about, has proved a daily tormeqt to me all my life long. There are people, it is true —nay, a great many people—who smile at such things, because they are not sensitive to noise; but they arc just the very people who are also not sensitive to argument, or thought, or poetry, or art, in & word, to any kind of intellectual in fluence. The reason of it is that the tissues of their brains Is of a very rough and course quality. On the other hand, noise is a torture to intellectual people. In the bio graphies of almost all great writ ers, or wherever else their personal utterances are recorded, I find complaints about it.” v_ “The most sensible and intelli gent of all the nations in Europe lays down the rule, ‘Never Inter rupt!' as the eleventh command ! TORTURING PAINS Ceredo Lady Tells How She Was Uiub^ejo Find % thiaf to Relieve Them Until She Took Cardnr. PC V IV Oeredo, W. Va.—In telling how aha wm benefited by tekta|ff{Paidt& Mrs. Perils Yelkey, of th* JplaAv says: "At one time, I had a very serious spell which left me weak. At times, I would suffer such intense pains •cross my bad and In my side that X could hardly stand It "I endured this over and over again. Every 4ii*o the pains, were worse than before. "I was In despair because nothing helped me. 1 tried several reme dies, but X continued to suffer. “One day, X read about OarduL Other women tokl how they had gotten strong and well after talcing It. I have often been thankful for that day. for after I had taken Car dul for awhile, I felt like a different human being. “It did not seem possible, but X did not suffer the old, torturing pains, and I really felt well I can heartily recommend CarduL for X know how much X improved after I took it. Since then: X have taken It several times when X have needed a tonic, and X have always been benefited. It is » wonderful help." All good druggists sell OarduL ment. Noise is the must Imperti nent of all forms of interruption. It is not only an interruption, but also a disruption of thought. Ol course, where there is nothing to in terrupt, noise will not be so par ticularly painful.” “The most inexcusable and dis graceful of all noises is the crack ing of whips—a truly infernal thing when it is done in the nar row, resounding streets of a town. I denounce it as making a peace ful life impossible; it puts an end to all quiet thoughts. That this cracking of whips should be allow ed at all. seems to me to show in the clearest way how senseless and thoughtless is the nature of man kind. *'No one with anything like an idea in his head can avoid a feel ing of actual pain at this sudden, sharp crack, which paralyzes the brain, rends the thread of reflec tion, and murders thought.” Luck Schopenhauer! He didn't "know the half of it! He lived before the day of the automobile, the trolley and the airplane. The cracking of a whip, today, would fall like gentle music upon the car compared with the frantic chug ging of a motorcycle. Sorry, Brother Feltman, that we cannot give you more consolation. But someone is taking a piano les son in the apartment below us and we must quit for the day. You’ll Thank Your Lucky Stars If you’ll pay attention to these “don’ts”: Don’t try to see if there is gas in your tank with a lighted match —there is. Don’t try pet ting a strange bulldog on the head to see if he’s af fectionate—he isn’t. Don’t touch a trolley wire to see if it is charged—It is. Don’t try to save a few dimes by spending a few cents less for Gas and Oil—You can’t. Insist on SINCLAIR gas and OPALINE Oil for as sured quality and satisfac tion. Cleveland Oil Co.
