"Composer Says Music Feminine,” informs a headline. Perhaps that’s why static is unexplained as yet. This is Child Health Day, but to most of us it is just one of those days the bill collectors come a calling. , "A man in Brooklyn,’’ says I he Salisbury Post, ai rested for wife beating, was sentenced to kiss his wife every morning for six months. The woman pays and pays,” Most people, and most of them will not admit it, are fond of seeing their names in the paper, but Sheriff Allen is of thp opinion that the fondness will not apply to the names he plans to publish Friday—those of the delinquent taxpayers in Cleveland county. A minister of Newburgh, New York, was struck down by lightning while conducting prayer meeting last week, and it is our idea if a bootlegger bad been hit while making a delivery that a number of people would have remarked by now that "the Lord thought it time to remove him.” Two hundred and thirty young people will graduate this month in the several commencements in Cleveland coun ty. Commencement means that they are just now com mencing the struggle of life and for their future 1 he Star wishes all the best ot luek as they fall into the parade with their sheepskins in hand. The Gastonia strikers apparently have a very much-to the-point punster in their midst. Editor Edmonds, of the Manufacturer’s Record, visited the strike area and described the striking element as a "cess-pool of humanity.” 1 hen the strikers made themselves a new placard for tlibir parades and used Edmonds’ statement together with the line "and they (the deputies) cannot tell us from a newspaperman.” AND THEY’LL ALL FIRE IT FURTHER proof that feminine smokers are on the increase is the news that in Germany the railway cars now contain two smoking compartments, one for the men and the other for the women. Shouldn't be long until the change is made in this country, except that there will likely be little de mand for two smoking compartments; they’ll smoke to gether as they are doing in cafes, show houses and private homes. The sign on the smoker will be merely changed to read "open for men and women.” TWO GOOD, NEW WORDS CBELTOFT often comes to his front door and observes the •*"* passing throngs outside and he is a right close observer of motor cars as well as the people who pass. Recently The Monroe Journal or The Lumberton Robesonian, we forget which, emoted a driver of a Ford (the old model) as saying "She golliwockered up and she nickknockered back, and there she stood.” "Those are pretty good descriptive verbs for the flivvers I have seen in action,” Ebcltoft said after reading the quota tion. (lie has never taken a ride in one insofar as we know). And now The Raleigh News and Observer comes along to predict that the next dictionary will contain "nickknock rred” and "golliwockered” along with their definitions. "They arc better words to describe what occurs than any in use now,” says the Raleigh paper. And many angry motor ists, we believe, after their cars had "nickknockered and golliwockered” to a standstill have, as far as they were con cerned, called the "gollicwockcrs” more appropriate names than those bestowed upon them by the motor manufacturer. CREEPING CLOSER DPUT IT DOWN as a prediction, tornado insurance in North * Carolina in the passing of a few years will not be as cheap as it is now. Commenting upon recent tornadoes in the South, Spen cer Murphy, the columnist says: “The manner in which tor nado areas seem to have been creeping up the Atlantic coast in recent years suggests that North Carolinians might be j wise in buying tornado insurance now while it is cheap.” His comment recalls a conversation in Shelby not long since in which an insurance man was asked by a local busi ness man as to the rate of tornado insurance. He was told that a very small amount per thousand dollars Insures a resi dence or a business building against tornado damage for a period of three years. “I'll just take out a policy now. In my opinion torna does will be felt here within that time, and when they do start, and they’re getting closer, your insurance will be higher,” the business man replied. With no intent of boosting without charge the business of the insurance salesmen and not being overly pessimistic, at the same time, it is our idea that the business man quoted above used his head. The tornadoes are.striking a little closer each summer, ■ ... TAMMANY AND SMITH D KG A RD LESS of how the individual reader may look at it, liis connection with Tammany Hall did not do Gov. A! Smith any pood out of New York in his campaign last fall for the presidency on the Democratic ticket. And now that it is interpreted the election of Gurry as the new Tammany head is a rebuke to Smith by the organization, the former Democratic standard-bearer is coming in for quite a bit of praise from newspapers and people who did not support him in the election, some of them ascribing their lack of support to Tammany. “Smith brought Tammany up from a political organi zation not mentioned in many circles to become a highly re spected organization,” wrote one anti-Smith Democratic pa per,' “and now Tammany has kicked loose from Smith and will return to its old state and principles.” The Philadelphia Record does not mind praising the de feated Democratic candidate highly in its interpretation of the new Tammany head, which follows: “Will Rogers, nailhead hitter, banged one square for a center shot when he said: “A1 Smith can look Tammany in the face and say ‘Boys, did my name handicap your organi zation's progress like your organization name has handicap ped mine?’ ” “The old, reactionary element triumphed in the election of Curry as Tammany chief; but the setback to the New 1 am many many will only encourage the younger membei' - hip of-the old Hall to fight on for cleaner politics. “A rebuke* to Smith, some people call it. Well, Mr. Smith can stand many like that! He is bigger than Tam many. “Tammany is built for ward polities. The district lead ers know their job. (In some ways, all too well.) “Afred E. Smith never has been, never will be subscr vient to Tammany. His is the strength of honor and square dealing, coupled with fearlessness and a rare skill in poli tical tactics and strategy. “The pigmy ward politicians of Tammany cannot over throw the national party leadership of the giant ex-Gover nor. Whether he over again becomes a candidate for the presidency or not, while he lives his gallant personality will tower ip Democratic counsels, on the side of courage, wisdom and party honor.” Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— (Exclusive in The Star in this section.)

The difference between a com mercial hotel and a tourist hotel is represented by the result of multiplying the rate of the former by 2, and leaving 3 towels in the bath-room instead of 1. but if you want to arrive at the difference be tween a tourist hotel and resort hotel, then you add the rate charg ed by the commercial hotel to the rate charged by the tourist hotel and deduct 3 towels from the bath room This is the season of tlie year when a man becomes tired and all run down and begins to look around for a nice, quiet. restful place at which he may spend one of those so-called vacations. if he's a goiter, a good golf course is all that matters in making his selection, but if he doesn't golf, the next proclivity comes in selecting a shady location, with lots of food. Now last summer, I hunted me up a “haven of satisfaction'' away back in the mountains. It was a haven too. I left my nice soft bed at. home and got in exchange a mattress made ot downy shucks and tender corn cobs and gener ous knots. And every time I'd turn over In bed. I'd get splinters in my back. And the^ost of that room was only If) dollars per day, plus 5 dollars if the old lady want ed to sleep with me. Instead of a tiled bath-room 'yes, that's what we've got: if you don't believe It, just read the mortgage in the office of the clerk of court, which covers it), and hot and cold water on tap, there was a little ceiled room down the hall about 18 doors tas the cat runs) from my resting )?> place. The only time I say much running water in that "Kohler'' was when it rained and the wash bowl and Pitcher tliere-in were both crack jcd. And—well, that's all they will print about that bath room.

[Star Advertising Pays MODERN US OF ” MODERN WOMEN New York—This old joke in the comic magazines—the one depict ing Mrs. Suffragette, with a motiSr I ache, masculine figure and a bass voice, complaining to her bride groom that his biscuits were not as good as the kind father used to make—this joke is something less than 100 per cent funny In the light ol modern medical beliefs. Nature is imposing a startling slavery ol phychical and physical disturbances on the "Modern Wom an." Dr. Richard Horace Hoffman, a leading New York psychiatrist, has told the United Press. Dr. Hoffman, who outlined man's battles against his physical enemies throughout the centuries in the re cently-published book. “The Strug gle for Health," carried his discus sion beyond the pages of his work. He pointed out the laws of com pensation had already begun to ex act an observable toll in bodily dis turbances brought about by chemi cal changes in "freed" women of the business and workaway world. Already, some of the more adap table women are beginning to dis play "secondary sex indications," the psychiartrlst has observed. These symptoms include hair on the upper lip; masculine deportment and changes in voice; alteration of the figure and adoption of the male point of view. Following these arc a long tram of other changes—many of them ills which tlie masculine bread-winner takes as a matter of course. The premature development of wrinkles and appearance of face blemishes send thousands to the beauty spec ialists. Scrawny frames and phyis eal disturbances, such as heartburn, loss of appetite, tendency to hys teria and exhaustion, nervous debil ity, digestions! difficulties—thesr and a dozen more exactions of na ture have been traced to the same source. Dr. Hoffman was unwilling to ascribe more than certain number of such feminine mal-factioning to the usual diagnosis of eongenttally faulty gland functioning. "In this hurried age," he said, “most people are prone to forget that adaptation to circumstances is not a matter of years or months. It took man millions of years to adapt himself to the particular strain of his existence. He is not entirely inured at this moment, as many in dividuals have learned. ‘ Within our own memories it was socially embarrassing for a woman to be working at all. She could be a school teacher or an elocutionist or an actress or a nurse or gover ness or something of similar nature Then suddenly the barriers dropped. The machine entered the lists of progress. And women began to race into a competitive field that had been held almost exclusively by men. “One day the so-called modern woman awakened to find that she could make as much money, if not more, than the man of her acquaint ance. The dollar chase was on, as it was in the man’s world Imme diately her psychological attitude toward men underwent a change. It had a new financial basis. •‘Furthermore, in this new game she actually got out of the habit of and more noticeable. •'Sources of the physical symptoms revealed to the psychiatrist arc but reflections of the psychical disturb ances—faulty digestion, heartburn, underweight, nervous ailments, hys teria and the like. So, too, are what we call the secondary sex indica tions, which mar the feminine beau ty and produce a new masculinized point of view.” With a cigarette as good as Camels the simple truth is enough Camel CIGARETTES WHY CAMELS ARE THE BETTER CIGARETTE Camels are made of the choicest to baccos grown — cured and blended with expert care.
