Enterprising newspapermen seem to have passed up a good story. What docs Bobby Jones think of miniature golf? _I Will Rogers' political observation is hard to beat. “The Republicans,’’ he says, “always look bad three years out of four, but the year they look good is election year.” It being an off presidential year, he adds, the Democrats look great. Now that Mr. Hoover has decided to attend the Kings Mountain battleground celebration and picnic it might be well to send him the customary picnic announcement advice: “Bring well-filled basket.” It’s not much of a task to talk hard times when one’s own pocket is empty, explains the Dallas News in saying that “Many a man’s prediction of a world panic is based on the hole in his own pocket. There should be some definite interpretation on the part of city officials as to whether or not an ambulance, fire truck or auto making anjemergency call should have the right of way against the red stop lights at traffic centers. The Star believes ambulances and firetrucks should be per mitted to proceed against the light provided such can be done without endangering life and property. Which is to say that the ambulance or truck should proceed if there is no traffic, pedestrian or motor, in near approach on the other street. TRADE ADJUSTMENTS j^EW HABITS constantly make necessary readjustments in the business world. Short skirts, for example, increas ed the sale of fancy hosiery and at the same time reduced demand for cloth used in making dresses. Many such illus trations could be giv,<yi. Recently the playing of “miniature golf’ has been taken up very rapidly by the American public and this has had its effect upon business as well. For one thing the manufac turers of golf clubs are months behind in filling orders for putters, the only club used on these microscopic courses. Another effect has been the building up of new busi nesses in localities where these courses have been establish ed. Naturally the golf course has been placed in most cities in a section where land was not being utilized. Soon after wards it has been found, gasoline stations, soft drink and lunch stands have been constructed nearby. The originator of the small golf course is reported to have made a fortune with his idea, although at the piv tnt time he is engaged in suing several others for alleged in fringement of his copyright. MARKING THE COUNTRY CHURCHES -pHE STAR 'would like to suggest that a marker be placed at every church in Cleveland county, indicating the name of the church, the denomination and pastor in charge. These markers should be metal or board, painted and plainly let tered. The cost would be insignificant, yet they would serve a good purpose. No longer is Cleveland a small county. We have over 52,000 people ahd rank fourth in population in crease in the past ten years. A country church is a community center and in locating people who live in the county, it would be a helpful manner by which to direct people. In this day of much travel, the public generally would become acquainted with the location of Piney Grove, Wallace Grove, Norman’s Grove, Salem and the sixty or more churches throughout the county. Do you realize that with over 52,000 people in Cleveland county and thousands of outsiders passing through our county year after year, that it means very little to thousands of readers to see in the paper that a revival meeting is on at Midi’s Chapel, Mary’s Grove and dozens of other churches, or that a fanner lives in a certain church community. The older citizens acquainted with the rural life of the county know the location of churches, but a new generation has come up, strangers have moved in and the best way for a church to be known outside its community is to place a marker on the road indicating the name of the church at that particular *POt. RADIO NUISANCES jp*VERY ONCE IN A WHILE we hear complaint made against a new ailment of society, which has been made possible by a new- scientific invention That is neighbor’s complaining about some other neighbors running radios so loudly that it interferes with the sleep and rest of those I nearby. This and other objectionable noises should be controlled by proper legislation of states and municipalities, according to Ben S. Fisher, Counsel ol the Federal Radio Commission | Already, Mr. Fisher* says, special ordinances and laws re stricting the operations of loud speakers so they will not disturb the public have been .adopted in many communities I on the theory that such annoyances come within the cate* (gory of “public nuisances.” The attempt to regulate radio has brought about some differences of opinion as to where the authority of states and jthat of the national government extends. In South Carolina a license tax on receiving sets has been enacted but it is be ing tested in the courts on the ground that such a tax con flicts with the interstate commerce powers vested in Con , gross by the Federal Constitution. While Ihr right of municipalities to control the? opera tion of loud speakers so they will not annoy nearby residents has been generally admitted there is still some question as to | whether such political agencies can prevent the operation of | receiving sets in automobiles. These are very often used for advertising purposes and could easily become a much great er nuisance than loud speakers in the homes. WILL LONG SKIRTS STAY? QFTFIN OF LATE WEEKS one hears the opinion that Am erican women will refuse the style edict from Paris which says that long skirts are here to stay for a time, and that they will be longer this Fall. Perhaps so. This paper is hot an expert on fashions, and is in the same position with all other humans in not knowing just what a woman will do. But our wage is that long skirts are here to say just so‘long as Paris says. There may be some discussion as to the popu larity with which the long skirt was received by American women, but style is style and a woman is a woman—-in that respects, anyway. In a recent meeting the Associated Dress industries of America refused to yield to the “Parisian style dictatorship,” and many construed that as the opening gun again Paris Styles. There will be others, but how much good wjll they do? taking the same viewpoint The New York Times says: “There is no use deceiving ourselves about American declar ations of independence against French dressmakers. If Paris says dress hems eight inches from the ground, they will be eight inches. Put American women might listen to a plan to have the sidewalks lowered. “The argument that, increasing millions of women in business have made the long skirt obsolete loses much of its force at a time of widespread unemployment. “American fashion designers and American customers might ns well bow to the inevitable. Skirt lengths are only part of a general return to pre-war levels, along with wheat, cotton* rents, theatre tickets," electric Ppwef, books and ice cream sodas, the last of which now offer two lumps of ice cream for the price of one. “And always there is the-..question of one's duty to the world. Have women the right to pursue their own comfort in the matter of dress at the cost of crippling the textile in dustries and throwing millions out of work Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— If I Had My Way If I had my way, I wvuld send all the "tree sitters" to the asylum where they would be with the rest ot the folks who think that a-way. And I would apply Ur: gasoline taxes in states as follows: f>0 per cent for 'road building, 25 per emit for creating a sinking fund for bonds already issued and 25 per cent to the current debts row chok ing the various slates to death— the plan to remain opera ire till all obligations were satisfied, And I would double th■> wages of all persons how receiving ess than 20 dollars per week, rip 1 increase all other persons salaries from 25 to 50 percent that are ivn. earning less than 40 dollars per wrek, and I would cut all salaries Lorn 50 to 90 percent where so-called big men are sucking the life blood out of the stockholders in various com panies. i Lots of 10 Uiousand-doi lar men are not earning moie than 10 percent cf that sum') And I would not penm1 any mail to hold a public office) \hr> receiv ed a living wage) to have »«n;. other form of employment wrutsoever, and I would let all street and sani tary work out by contract under the |supervision of the niutiictpi’Uy con cerned. and consolidate *se major ity of the offices in cacti city, coun ty or state, and try to y.t honest men to superintend theii manage ment through the medium of good bookkeeping and reasonae'e hours. ^ And I would change the school teaching methods in man.; respects, but most assuredly would I have the school day begin at about 8:30 a. m. and continue until 4:30 p. m , with at least 2 study periods at proper intervals, and I wtuld cut out all unnecessary studys. and have the pupils taught practical, useful, sensible, usable subject,-, and not try to make Shakerpeates and school teachers out of even- child who darkens the door And last, but not least—I would do away with Installment buying Raise the price of gasoix.e to 2 dollars per gallon to rich loiks and; reduce it to 10 cents a ;Hon to [ poor folks, and 1 \uonM t - i>iy,ii-1 pcratic president in U> and 33, and destroy the recently passed tariff measure, mid double tiro income tax levy on incomes in excess of 50 thousand dollars per year and eli minate all taxes on 50 ac»ei of land owned by’any one person.
