The latest club in New York has a strict ruling that no

| The latest fad for men is a rubber necktie, which comes
J&fom France. Somehow that suggests the rope neckties of
flhe old days when it was considered a far more serious crime
to steal a horse than it is to steal an automobile these days.
Robert Quillen, the paragraph philosopher, does a pretty
good job of expressing the prevailing attitude regarding
morals, which seems to be too readily accepted by many, when
he says “Modern sin is much like slipping your shoes off ;
it isn’t vulgar if nobody sees you.”
Could it be that the business depression results to an ex
ten^from an erroneous belief that many of the things we pur
chase are necessities or semi-necessities instead-of luxuries
and semi-luxuries? Nearly six and one-half million automo
biles and trucks were manufactured in the world last year,
eighty-five percent in the United States.
ELIMINATING MORE MEN.
QNE OF THE most widely discussed questions of modern
times is that of debating the eventual result of the ma
chine age, which in many instances appears to be eliminat
ing man-power. little by little, as scientists and mechanical
engineers add to their discoveries, machines are being made
and perfected which take the place of men, or, at least, re
quire a smaller number of men to carry on operations than
was required before the machine* came in. The latest exam
ple is the “butcherless butcher shop.”
One of the first shops of the type to make its appear
ance is in Brooklyn and the familiar figure of the meat cut
ter is missing. The meat is displayed already cut in stand
ard sizes and weights, is sealed in sanitary transparent
boxes, stamped as to quality and price, and bears the certifi
cation of the government inspectors. The merfts are display
ed in glass refrigerators and the clerks of white-uniformed
girls. Deliveries are made to the “butcherterias” from the
packing houses by refrigerator trucks. Should the system
go over with the public another familiar character of the old
business world may soon be missing as the machine agje with
its coordination and economical ideas scores another triumph.
What next?
WHY PERSHING WAS SENT "
CENATOR McKELLAR of Tennessee tells an interesting
^ World war incident, centering about President Wilson and
General Pershing, which deals with a phase of the Wilson
administration that has always been debated and discussed.
Why, thousands have asked, did Wilson send Pershing to
France instead of General Wood, or ex-President Roosevelt,
or other military leaders who appeared to be beter known at
the time ?
Many of those professing to be "on the inside have at
tempted to answer that question. Many have blamed Wil
son, despite Pershing’s good record in the war, for not send
ing some other general. But no explanation, we believe, has
tended to clear up the matter as does the statement of Sen
ator McKellar. The Tennessee man was' one of those who
wanted Roosevelt sent to France, and had planned to asked
a major generalship for the ex-president. Hearing about it
Wilson sent for McKellar and tatked to him. The revelation
of that talk shows that Wilson picked Pershing on his rec
ord, not his fame or popularity, and decided to stick to Persh
ing despite the criticism which followed the Pershing ap
pointment. The Wilson statement to McKellar, according to
* the leter, follows:
“I am not a military man. I am a civilian. My life has
not been spent along military lines and neither has yours.
“When I went into this war I called a conference of the
•Xpert men of the United States and asked them to recom
mend the man who could do this job in Europe effectively
asd well. They recommended General Pershing. I believe
that their recommendation was good. I have appointed him
to be in charge of American forces in France and I am going
to the mat for him. I am going to stand by him until the
end. I am not a military man and I am rtot going to put my
civilian judgment up against the judgment of those military
men in whom I have confidence. In like jpaner I have select
ed the naval officer to command the naval forces of the
United States, and I am going to the mat for him. I am go
ing te stand by him " *
WATERMELON TIME NEAR.
WATERMELONS WILL be getting ripe soon in local
patches,” writes Miss Beatrice Cobb in her Morganton
News-Herald in noting that recently one of the big syndicat
ed editorial writers, Bruce Cation, devoted quite a bit of
space to watermelons and roas’n’nears. Miss Cobb heralds
what is truly one of the most enjoyable seasons of the year
—matermelon and roas’n’ear time.
It is one season when the ruralsjwellers and the small
town resident have it on their city brothers. Of course,
as the Morganton editress says, the city dweller can have his
melons and corn, but not such melons and corn as those on
and near the farms have. The freshness and the flavor are
missing from roas’n’nears which have been in a city store
for days after being shipped in, and the same goes for the
melons. But the rural man and the resident of the small
town near the source of supply get melons and roas’tt’ears at
their best. Two delicacies hard to excel anywhere or any
how’.
In that connection it is noted that the Bureau of Home
Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture
is authority for the statement that “Refreshing, juicy, fine
flavored’watermelons have still another virtue for the con
summer who is interested in food values. Beyond their delic
ious flavor and satisfying texture, watermelons have been
found a rich source of vitamins A and C, and also contain less
er amounts of vitamins B and G. It was revealed that the
guinea pigs used in making the tests not only waxed fat and
or other military leaders who appeared to be better known at
the letter, follows:
Very few of us, if any, need any encouragement to eat
watermelons when and where wo can get them, but it is good
news for the melon farmer and the melon devotee to know
that melons are not only delicious rating, hut are, also,
healthful.
Greatest Boom
Seen Just Ahead
p -

Finance Will he Greatest in
All History
R. W. McNeel of Boston is one
financial expert who secs no gloom
ahead for business.
"We are on the threshold of the
greatest boom that the country has
ever known.” he says. "The coun
try faces a program of expansion,
invention, scientific development,
and the arising of pew Industries
and new modes which promise to
make the next 10 years in American
industry and finance far greater
than the last 10 years.
"The business leader who is pes
simistic today has a vision that is
too prlvineial, an outlook that is
too limited, and a courage that is
weak.”
But what's to bring this new busi
ness boom into being? Mr. McNeel
is ready with many suggestions—
Television, new building construe
tion. natural gas and pipe line de
velopments, frozen foods, dry Ice,
the airplane industry, film phono
graphs, heating radio, artificial
ventilation, electrification oP* rail
roads, electric welding, electrically
made steel, the use of glass brick,
the use of chromium, copper,
bronze, aluminum, rustless steels
for building exterior, electric ships,
humidified indoor air, central heat
ing and cooling systems, central
newspaper plants, and flashing
newspaper pages by television across
the country.
He enumerates a score of other
suggestions, saying that, the pro
gram Of American expansion in the
next decade will be "greater than
anything that has ever been ac
complished in any similar period in
the life of the nation."
