Million From Income To Found
Institution,
Paris.—Maurice Chevalier has
embarked on a project, news ol

usual publicity attending the acts
of movie stars. He is founding a
home for old actors and promises
to give half a million dollars within
five years.
Since he returned here, Chevalier
has told friends of the theater he
has already put aside a percentage
of his opulent earnings in Holly
wood. saying, “I am making enough
so there is no danger of poverty for
me or mine, and I want to do some
thing for those who are out of luck
forever.'’

THREE-DAY WEEK TO END
SLUMPS IS PREDICTED
BY BRITISH JURIST
Baltimore.—A prediction that men
in the future all over the world will
work but three days a week and be
paid high wages was made by Sir
William Jowitt. Attorney General of
England, who with a group of Euro
pean jurists visited Baltimore,
The Englishman said there will
be ups and clowns in the wide world
economic situation, but no perman
ent recovery until that time,
Speaking of the English situation
hr said: "I believe the upturn is
coming and that English will be
among the first to recover.”
“The upward trend in the imme
diate future will result from deple
tion of stocks of goods turned oul
in the past and a rate faster thar
that of world consumption, but the
permanent cure will not come unti
there has been some adjustment oi
consumption to production.
"I believe that men a Ik over the
world eventually will work but three
days a week, but will be paid htgt
wnges in order that they may con
sume flic goods they produce ”
Give a child ft ifttle and he will
want more; the same rule applies tc
all forms of public privilege.

'The Greensboro Record.
Even North Carolinians who are
well informed as to the natural re
sources of the Old North State must
be deeply impressed with the possi
bilities for development of the Car
olina coal fields in Moore and Lee
counties as described by Herman
Bryson, state geologist, in address
ing the Aberdeen Klwantl club at
its luncheon meeting at Pinehurst
this week.
The coal fields in Moore ar.d Lee
have been worked at various times
on a limited scale for many years,
but it seems that, their wealth and
the great, possibilities they hold are
Just coming to be recognised. Mr.
Bryson says a recent survey made
by the state department shows that
83.000.000 tons of coal are available
in the Carolina fields, with the min
mg of 500 tons n day, it was esti
mated. the supply would last for
564 years

“( hecks Are No Check.”
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"Crookdom must smile at the sug
gestion of a special committee of
the national crime commission that
payment by check in large establish
ments would eliminate pay-roll rob
beries. But. the retail merchants of
industrial neighborhoods will not
smile. They are the ones who have
to cash the checks. To dd so they
must carry large amounts of cash
through the pay period. Bands find
the small tradesmen, with over
loaded cash drawer, an easier mark
than the guarded pay-roll messen
ger or office employe. The check
system does not remove, the robber's
opportunities, it merely distributes
them.'’

but when { got my turnips reddy to
sell, everyboddy else was selling tur
nips for nothing and the market
was glutted, i am (worried plum to
the bone and my wife's kinfolks is
coming over next tuesday to spend
the week end. and ,my hand is so
sore from being shuck by polly tish
ions here of late, i simply ain’t able
to pull my own fodder, rite or foam
if you hear of anny relief from the
government coming down the way.
i am Willing to be a republican for
a few weeks if that will help,

mike Clark, rfd.
ll-u-x-t-y r
Very few folks who see me walk
ing down the street, me with that
school girl complexion and youth
ful swing, would believe that I am
a gram-paw, butJthat's just what
1 am. Why, the flappers even call
me sonny, I look so young; and
nearly everybody think I am an un
married lounge lizard, but that
grandson of mine is 5 weeks old to
day. (He has another grampaw and
gram-maw that are trying to horn
in on him. but we won't even let
them telephone to him.)
Speaking of grandsons—there
never has been one like unto this
young fellow that I am just about
to describe. He tips the scales at
11 pounds and 4 and one-half
ounces. He parts his hair in the
middle. His eyes are brown and
keen. Those fists remind one of
Tunncy-Plus. Those well developed
legs have a Red Grange curve be
low the knees, and those arms are
living signals to the world'to stay
out of their reach.
My, such a boy. His grancimaw
can understand every noise he
makes, whether it’s in English,
French, Dutch or Yiddish. She
really thinks it is her baby. She
won't cat cabbage or ham for fear
that it won’t agree with the kid.
She knows exactly how many times
the Itttlc fellow has batted his eyes
since he arrived, and furthermore—
she says that if he happens to be
a democrat, he will be president of
the grand old U. S. in about 19 and j
55.
; -
This young fellow must stand
mighty well in this community. He
has been the rcsipient of 184 beau
tiful presents, including 19 pairs of
Shoes and 27 Bair brushes, i When
I was born, 1 got some presents too:
vizzly -3 fteeccd-lines hippins.) He
asked me to thank his many admir
eFs for their generosity and thought
fulness and to wish egeh and every
one many happy returns. (And by
the way, he will be needing a suit
of clothes within a year Or so.)
