Well, old fellow, ifter looking over some of our Congressmen and Senators, A'e are inclined to agree with you. Another thing about these talking movies that cheers us ia that hereafter we may hear the prolonged smacks of the happy ending fade-away from the screen itself rather than from some would-be comedian back in the audience. A large drug store chain is to enter the business field in this section. Sooner or later it appears as if all types of buainess will come under the chain system—and, at that, some of us can remember Teddy Roosevelt and his Big Stick in the fight on trusts. The remodelled First Baptist church here will be used for the first time on Easter Sunday, it is announced, and the event should be one of general rejoicing throughout the sec tion, as the new church plant is one of the largest and most up-to-date in this section of the Carolinas, Two safes blown, one killing, several chicken robberies, and other minor crimes in Shelby in a little over one week, pet we talk in shocked voices about Chicago. Just suppose Shelby as it is was multiplied by itself until it was as large as Chicago? In just a few days President Coolidge, who has held the office for six years, will be known only as Mr. Calvin Cool idge. Several days ago, we recall, that a news article stated that the voice of Coolidge, due to the radio, was the best known and had been heard more than the voice of any Presi dent. And he said less than any of them at that. The high school basketball quints of Cleveland county are playing in a tournament here this week for the Rotary championship cup and a double-header is on every night ex cept Friday night, when the title contest will be staged. The tournament will likely draw large crowds due to the fact that small school basketball quints are ordinarily just as good as the larger school teams. Somehow we feel a bit sorry for Lindbergh and his bride-to-be. They will be watched so closely by newspaper men, photographers and the general public that they will be able to get in very little love-making without being seen, and Tor a time after their marriage they will likely not know the meaning of privacy, unless Lindy, as he may do, takes his bride aboard his plane and honeymoons there. Advertising as is these days: In one of the larger Sun day newspapers recently appeared an advertisement with a glaring headline reading "Gleaming Teeth.” Right under the large heading was a photo not of gleaming teeth but of a pair of beautiful, graceful, silken clad feminine legs. In an inconspicious place near the shapely limbs was the informa tion that by using a certain tooth paste enough money may be saved to purchase hosiery as shown. Ho, hum! It may not be long now until photos of shapely limbs will even be at tracting eyes to undertakers’ “ads.” READS LIKE BRISBANE 'THE WORLD is getting so air-minded of recent months that nearly all of the commentators on life, its problems and possibilities, remind us occasionally of Arthur Brisbane, the high-salaried paragrapher. For instance this paragraph by Editor Harris in the Charlotte Observer: “Haldeman, the man who made Ruth Elder famous, has now gained fame for himself by completion of a “through trip” from Canada to Cuba, a distance of nearly 1,500 miles, in a little less than 13 hours—and in a short time, feats of this hind will not be regarded as “news,” at all.” MORE CARNES -JUSTICE”? COME TIME back this paper contrasted the sentence of | Clinton S. Carnes, the million dollar embezzler, with that of • local colored youth who stole an automobile. But lest some misunderstand the thought behind our comment we would say that the Carnes case is not the only instance, not by far, in which the big thief gets off as light as. or lighter than the little thief. According to the American Mercury the two news items below appeared in the same issue of a recent Atlanta paper— I read them: ~ “A plea of guilty to an indictment charging embezzle ment of $53,459 from the estate of the late Woodson H. Hudson brought George H. Gilon, attorney, a term of from two and a half to four years at the State prison farm.” — •Theft of a purse containing fifteen cents cost Albert Bussey a heavy toll when he pleaded guilty before Judge Vlrlyn B. Moore to a charge of robbing Ora Bell Hasty, of 394 Williams street, N. W. Judge Moore sentenced Bussey to serve from five to seven years.” It certainly doesn’t pay to steal if your ambition is limit ed to 15 cents or thereabouts. MONAZITE BUBBLE BURSTS jT APPEARS as if the information made public by the State mining engineer at Raleigh very near bursts the monazite bubble which has been hovering over this section for several weeks. The revival of monazite mining in this section in profit able manner seemed almost too good to be true, and the movement to place a new tariff on foreign monazite so that mining might be profitable resumed here was started before it was learned that very little, if any, foreign monazite comes into America now. That being the case a duty on foreign monazite would do little good, and perhaps none at all. Since the World war the mining engineer informs monazite in huge and very rich deposits have been found on the sandy P'lorida beaches. So, it seems as if we’ll stick to our farming and textile manufacturing hereabouts, at which it appears as if we have been doing very well. In fact, since the movement seems to have butted into a stone wall it is recalled that several of the observing citizens in this section declared weeks back that they feared a revival of monazite mining would do the section very little good, as the farmers would give less at tention to their farming as they divided time with monazite, and eventually they feared the modern, progressive farming tactics now employed in this section would revert to the an tiquated, non-profitable farming practised here a score of years ago. “Nobody’s Business” - BY GEE McGEE - (Exclusive In The Star In This Section.) Style flints. 1 am not a very close observer, but I try to keep up with the changes in the style of the flappers wearing apparel. Just at this time, as perhaps everybody knows except the men in the “Home for the Blind," the skirt has grown about 3 inches shorter since spring models appeared in the shops early in Jan uary, during that sero week we had about then The reason for the shorter skirt Is obvious. You will recall that during the entire year of 19 and 28 the stockings were worn In such a manner as to permit the garter to be fastened around the northern end of them, and the ted dies were pulled down over the said stockings and garters and thus a double contraption was used, since the teddies had elastic in them to hold the garments snug ansotorth. Well, to make a short story long, somebody ups and invents a new kind of garter that is so beau tiful in design, material, and work manship, fashion decreed that It should be worn where It could be seen, and therefore—the skirt was quietly but surely made briefer, and the stockings were put on as usual, but passed over the South ern extremity of the teddies, and the garters were fastened around the perambulating extension just above the knees, and can be seen without eye strain for a distance equal to 6 short or 8 long blocks. The prevailing colors in garters so far displayed are brown, pink red, green, dark blue, light blue, old ro6e, young rose, violet, hue, grey, green, dark green, lilac, Cop enhagen, cauliflower, orange, lem on, lime, cantaloupe, watermelon, taupe, cucumber green, bird egg brown, and striped. Of course, there are many other colors, but those named above are the only cne? i have paid any attention to today. Girls under 48 are not wearing these garters to such an extent that their visibility is ideal, but they will come to the practice with in the next few months, and so will old maids, grandmas, grass wid ows without grass, and other fe male creations of the human type. Galoshes can be worn with dis cretion in connection with the garters, and so , can beads. Very few other changes than those noted have been made in "milady's” togs, except dresses are leaning strong to ruffles, diap hanosity, long waists, and no sleeves to speak of. The main idea In all evening and morning and night dresses is so have them not reach so close to the knees that the garters won’t let them selves be seen, if not heard in their loudness. (That's all for this time, and it sounds like enough to me.) A man usually has two kinds of friends, vizxly: the kind that sticks him. I stood for a friend once, and he laid down on me. If a friend owes you and you still love him he Is still your friend. If you would keep your friends iboth of them), never lend them any money, or endorse their notes, or get two thick with their ^omen folks. Cotton Letter. (Poetry) New York.

NC-19T lasewMSS lnd<0OVtion Hilioutnrtt Girls Of Today The Same as Ever Differences Between Them Not Very Wide When Time Element Is Considered. New York.—Differences in the mocfern girl of 1929 and the mod ern girl of 1840 are not very wide when one stops to consider ad vancement of the times. "I don't think it takes much nerve to fly,” Miss 1929 wrote. "It's the most amusing modern sport It's the best and fastest way to travel. No, I’m not scared.” "There is little romance attacned to my life; taken prisoner, confin ed in a fort . . . and when I left there I had to fight my own way through bloodthirsty Indians,” wrote Miss 1845. Tor the modern girl we present Miss Elinor Smith. She is 17. She wears the frocks of modern times. She. likes to dance. She likes to play around in the circles which are frowned upon as the jazz circles. She is an aviatrix and only recent ly broke the world's sustained flight record for women. She held that record until today, when another modern girl, Miss Bobby Trout, brokel t. Now Miss Smith plans to go up and remain aloft some 20 hours. Mrs. Susan McGoffin is the girl of 1845. At that time she was in her teens and chronicled in a diary her weary trip across the American con tinent in a stage-coach. Endurance was her feat, just as endurance is Miss Smith's forte. Their outlook on life is compared in the statements of Miss Smith to day and the diary history of Mrs. McGoffin; “Near Hampton Roads, Va„ one day,” Miss Smith said, “one piston went bad. It was a choice between landing in the bay or the swamp. Nobody’s ever got out of that swamp alive. I know. On the other hand if I got in the bay they'd never find me. So I decided on the swamp and landed on the only dry spot in the whole darned place. The grass was so tall you couldn't see me. I was Moses in the bullrushes.” Eighty-three years ago Mrs. Mc Goffin wrote in her diary: “We celebrated the Fourth of July by crashing over a cliff at Pawnee Fork. ‘Ml Akna’ caught me as we fell and was hurt more than I. He carried me to the shade and rubbed me /liiskey.” I When .Miss Smith was malting her recent endurance test her father, TomiS^ith, flew by with a signal that the n1'XH> soon would be out, "Well, I wasNglad to see my fath er fly by,” Miss VS29 remarked. "Na turally I was lonely.” Mrs McOoffin wrote in her diary: "How cheering it is to one, when groping his way through countries strange to him. all bewildered and not knowing whether he is about to pitch over a precipice or drive into some deep ravine, to have the light of camp fires of those ahead of him break suddenly before the eye. It is a drink to a thirsty traveler. It gives him new, courage." Even on the marriage subject, 19^9 and 1846 aren't so widely dif ferent. "Marriage is certainly not all it 1 1# cracked np to be," Mrs. McGoffin wrote. And Miss Smith said today: , "No, I don't think 111 marry. Fly ing is less dangerous.” The death of Donald Freeman of Glasgow revealed the fact that the woman known as his housekeeper had been his wife for 30 years.
