TREE REPLY SAVES THEM
Pittsburgh, Fa.—Edward Dalglish,
seventeen, and Richard Prender
gast, sixteen, were arraigned in
morals court accused oi chopping
down two cherry trees near their
homes.
"We cannot tell a—” began the
youths.
“Oh, yes. Never mind,’’ feplied
the magistrate. “What did you do
it for?’’ “To make hockey sticks,’
said the youths. “Well, that’s a
good one,” said the magistrate. “Go
home and shinrey no more.”
SONGS WITH HIS WORK
NOT W*NTFD BY HOOVER
Washington.—President Hoover is
extraordinarily iond of music, but
he doesn’t care for it to the point
of having songsters warble at him
as he sits at his desk.
Consequently, the request of a
widely known Indian tenor for per
mission to croon to the chief ex
ecutive has been declined with
thanks.
Paradox.
Prof.—"Can you give me an ex
ample of a paradox?”

Speedy Relief
for Sore Throat
This Doctor’s Prescription
Requires No Gargling.
No longer is it necessary to gar
gle and choke with nasty tasting
medicines to relieve sore throat.
Now you can get almost instant re
lief with one swallow of a doctor's
prescription. This prescription was
refilled so often and became so
popular that the druggist who
originally filled it decided to put it
up under the name Thoxine and
make it available to everyone.
The remarkable thing about
Thoxine is that it relieves almost
instantly, yet contains nothing
harmful. It is pleasant tasting, and
safe for the whole family, and is
guaranteed to relievfe sore throats
or coughs in 15 minutes or money
back. Just ask for Thoxine, 35c„
00c., and *1.00. Sold by Susie’s

Democrats To Have
Hard Time Getting
Jonas Out Congress
Many Believe It Will Take Hoey Or
Morrison To Redeem Dis*
trict Seat.
Raleigh—Democrats in part of
the piedmont and mountain sec
tions of North Carolina are by no
means certain that the ninth and
tenth congressional districts, which
went over to the Republican col
umns last year, can be recalmed by
the Democrats next fall, according
to lawyers from both districts who
have been here for supreme court
arguments durirp the past few
weeks. Even in these two wayward
districts are to be reclaimed, it is
not yet certain just who will be the
Moses to lead them back into the
proper column, they say.
Charles A. Junas, Lincofliton, who
defeated Maj. A. L. Bulwinkle, Gas
tonia, last year, seems to be getting
hold that will take a strong Dem
ocrat to break, it is frequently
heard, relative to the ninth district
and George A. Pritchard is likewise
entrenching himself effectively in
the mountainous tenth, it is also
said.
For a time it appeared as-if there
would be a dozen or more candi
dates to oppose Mr. Jonas, but the
talk has at least quieted down and
is not being heard so much now,
credited, to the splendid congress
dde, if even Democrats are to be
man he is apparently making. In
fact, one leading Charlotte Demo
crat and politician, one of the old
school, and one who voted it
straight from top to bottom last
year, said while here recently that
he was not sure he would not vote
for Mr. Jonas next time himself.
It was believed for a time that
both Major Bulwinkle and Zebulon
Weaver of Asheville were merely
victims of the unpleasant situation
which developed last year, but now
many of them see that it means
more and that some unusually pop
ular and able candidate must take
the stump and make a vigorous
campaign if th,ose districts are to be
reclaimed.
It has been talked that either one
of two men would be necessary to
reclaim the ninth, former Gov. Cam
eron Morrison, Charlotte, or Clyde
R. Hoey, Shelby. Neither, it is as
sured, wants the task. Also, it has
been confidently stated that J. A.
Bell, Charlotte, outside of one or the
other of these, would be the best
man to make the race.
Several Charlotte men are re
ported as having inclination. In the
list is Walter Clark, son of the late
chief justice and at present state
senator from Mecklenburg; F. Ma
rion Redd, former Charlotte mayor;
Hamilton C. Jones, for several years
Mecklenburg Democratic chairman;
Edgar W. Pharr, former speaker of
the house of representativea and
probably others.

KISSING OF HINDS
IS VET craw
# - ■ ■
Kissing the hand—a custom con
nected with royalty only in Britain
—still remains a custom among
politicians and diplomats on the
continent.
The hand kiss as a social duty
from a man to a married woman is
also customary throughout tun ,
among persons of social positions or
social pretensions.
In Berlin, Vienna, Rome and
Budapest it is not unusual to see a
man enter a drawing-room and be
stow as many as ten hand kisses
before he sits down for a cup of tea
in Austria When a customer
leaves a shop or a restaurant the
proprietor and the assistants, both
men and saleswomen, say “I kiss
your hand," although it is merely a
verbal formality. In fact the phrase
is repeated by everybody to whom
one gives a tip in Austria.
The Christmas kiss to a bis.idp's
finger ring—an act of homage ex
pected from believers of both sexes
—prevails in the church of all coun
tries; but outside Russia (where the
Easter and Christmas kisses are dis
tributed indiscriminately) kisses are
not otherwise associated with re
ligion nowadays.
Diplomats Kiss.
The diplomatic kiss has not be«:n
discredited—as some of our own
statesmen can attest—even at Ge
neva.
King Michael of Rumania, frho at
the age of seven ^ias already occu
pied a throne for more than two
years, is already aware of how the
hand kiss should be applied. Prince
Faruk, son of King Fuad of Egypt,
receives the gesture of homage
with equal savoir-faire.
One of the many pictures cere
monies at the court of Spain takes
place when the Bishop of Santiago
conveys the greetings of the Holy
Roman church to the king by means
of a kiss on the hand.—World- tflde

The Nation's Pulse,
Many things do not constitute a

Many amusements are morally legi

The church is the pulse of national
righteousness. It means hospitals,
colleges, civic organizations and na

schools, cleaairr politics, purer so
cial life; it means law and order ami
