It Is now claimed by the eaono
mJc prophets that the dog that ha*
been running so long Into the wood*
Is now running out of the woods
poetically that “Night's candles are,
burned out and Jocund day stand
ing tip toe on the mountain tops,"
scientifically that the law of action
and reaction applies to the Indus
trial world and the last year being
the worst in history, the next will
Introduce us to that long departed
friend prosperity.
At the same time It Is remembered
tliat tire dog while running out is
still in the woods: that, while the
rosy dawn graces the mountain top.
It Is still dark down In the valley:
and that while the cycle of good
times is coming our way it will not
strike Shelby until she Is ready to
receive it.
In the meantime there are In
Shelby several hundred people out
of employment, a- people willing to
work and anxious to work, the
greater part of whom will suffer In
silence all the pangs of outrageous
fortune and never hint to their
most Intimate friends that their
little ones are going hungry.
This Is a class of people we all
love, a people who do not want
handouts, but a people who ask only
for an opportunity to work and
thereby make an honest living.
What are we going to do about their
distress?
Many of our well to do people
have doubtless planned many ex
penditures for next spring, houses to
be built, houses to be repaired,
houses to be repainted. Doubtless
the town ha* many Improvements
scheduled for Installation just as
Soon as the panic is over. The coun
ty has some roads to be constructed
just as soon as practicable and sev
eral of our cotton mills would like
to make Improvements,
But what about the finances? Fin
anciers tell us that there Is noth
ing worth a dollar except a dollar.
It is true that dollars are very val
uable. With the exception of very
few lines a dollar will buv far more
today than a year ago/ It will buy
more lumber, more brick and more
labor by far than a year ago. And
If the prognosticators are correct, it
will buy far more today than a year
hence. Therefore those who expect
to get above par for their dollars
must spend them now
The weather prophets tell us tint!
we shall have a severe winter and
therefore much suffering. Yet there
enough of good people in Shelby to
transform a bitter winter Into glor
ious summer bv a spirit of helpful
co-operatkm. What are we going
to do about It?

Orman Barones# Has Nearly Com
pleted Course At Johns
Hopkins.
Baltimore.—A German baroness
ha.s completed nearly three years
as a student nurse at Johns Hop
kins hospital, with her title known
only to a few intimates.
Baroness Marie Dorothea Eugenia
Freiin von Kleist Is enrolled as Miss
Marie von Kleist of Germany. The
only hints as to her lineage until
recently were those found oceaeion
aly oh a letter from her father or
a package from her mother.
A blonde with curly hair, she told
laughingly and with a slight accent
of her life and her difficulties In
overcoming parental objections to
nursing, when her Identity became
generlaly known.
"I managed to arrange a trip to
the United States in 1926,” she ex
plained, ”to visit relatives In North
Town, a suburb of Buffalo. After
ward ^ went as far west as Chicago
without my parents’ permission. My
mother Was dumfounded when she
found out—Chicago has such a bad
reputation.”
Shortly after this the baroness de
cided to take up nursing, and plan
ned to enter a New York hospital
but her mother overruled this. So
she came to Baltimore in the fall of
1927 and enrolled at Johns Hopkins.
“In this country,” she said, "nurs
ing is more of a profession than In
Europe. I do not know whether I
will continue when T graduate. I
have never seen my father's new
home in Bavaria and am eager to
go there for a visit.”

5,000 Year* Old
Primitive Pottery, Jewelry And j
Utensils Found In Checho

Philadelphia. ~ Pottery vessels, |
bronze earrings, bracelets, arrow-!
heads and iron knives belonging to;
a period of culture more than 5,000
years old, have been unearthed by I
the> Central European expedition of'
the University of Pennsylvania mu
seum, this city, and the Peabody
Museum. Cambridge, Mass., accord
ing to a report just received from
Dr. Vladimir J. Dewkes of the Uni
versity Museum, who Is field direc
tor of the expedition,
‘ The second summer’s work of the
expedition," Dr. ReWkoE stated in
his report, “has produced a number
of interesting and important finds.
In the course of our excavation at
Horoviee. southwest of Prague hi
Qzeeho-Slovakla, we have uncovered
objects that point to Slavic burials,
of the late bronze and iron age.
“Iti addition to this we have car
ried on extensive digging at Hom
olka, northwest of Prague, where
the finds reveal a settlement of
Prague, where the finds reveal a
settlement of people belonging to
the so-called Nordic phase of the
period, 5,000 years ago.
Eneollthic or earliest bronze age
“When the whole site has been
completely dug up It will mark the
first time in the history of Euro
pean archaeology that a primitive
settlement has been excavated.
"The Homolka site is a steep,
^rounded hill connected by 0 saddle
back to a long ridge and as many
as 50-pits have been discovered in
the course of a complete excavation
of the site. A number of these pits
v ert refuse pits,' others were used
for purposes which we have not .vet
beer, able to determine.
‘In addition to the Eneolithic ob
jects types of very primitive pottery
hau come to light which indicate
that the site was possibly occupied
over a long period or perhaps that
in this region a nuumber of differ*
lent cultures met end later merged
! into one.
“Extensive excavations have oeen
carried on at Chrastany, west o(
' Plague, where objects representative
of Neolithic and bronze age cultures
were found. The material recovered
was most Important, including some
beautiful bronze r.gc pottery and a
perforated hoe of the same period.
“The whole Central European reg
ion is archaelogicauy very Important,
and as yet little understood, and
when the finds of the expedition
have been studied and the results
published, no little light will be
thrown on the hstory of man in

GEE McGEE—
Scrambled Eggs.
A cotton goods manufacturer pays
:he farmer 9 cents for his cotton
ind manufactures cloth therefrom
ind sells It back to tne larmer on
i basis of 9-cent cotton. BUT:
A tobacco manufacturer pays the
larmer 12 cents a pound for his to
oacco and manufactures therefrom
plug tobacco, snuff, cigars and cig
arettes, and sells it back to the
farmers on a basis of 24-cent to
bacco, and WHY? Ask the Repub
licans.
My firm recently ordered a ship
ment of merchandise which weigh
ed 2,500 pounds from a distance of
719 miles. It took 1 of our best rail
roads exactly 14 days to deliver that
shipment at destination, thus haul
ing the said stuff a distance of
about 3 miles per hour, and they
call that service.
Just 2 days later, we ordered a
bill of goods of the same character
from a town 442 miles away, and
this shipper decided to ship ,the said
goods to us by truck and in exactly
31 hours (less than 2 days'), the
stuff was in our warehouse ready
for distribution. I believe more
strongly in railroads than I do in
trucks twhlch the taxpayers furnish
fine road-beds to wear out), but Mr.
Railroad must make some changes
if he cares to compete. Modern bus
iness methods demand quick action
and not snail-ism.
And furthermore. Bill Smith is
the daddy of 4 sons, and each son
graduated In the 6th grade at school
and there are no more brains in one
of the Smith's heads than In any
other—but Sam Is a railroad engi
neer, and is paid $275.00 per month
for his service. Rubin works-In a
cotton mill at $3g.00 per month, and
Joe is a policeman at $150.00 a
month, and poor old Tom farms at
nothing a month and boards him- j
self and his 7 younguns. And there
you is, Mr. Hoover,
I am not selling my opinion nt
present, in facfe—I have never had a
bid on any of them, but good times
are not just around the corner, ns
Mr. Ford would have you think. We
have to “live down” hard times and
good time will return so gradually,
we’ll never know that they are re
turning. In 18 months, X think, more
of our people will be employed at
some kind of wages, Cotton will
fetch a somewhat better price,
wheat will pay for its cost of pro
duction, and taxes will be higher
and graft slightly more extensive,
but we will grow used to our sur
roundings and will finally quit
grumbling. Of course, we could have
a war that would help.

Dear Mr. Clark—
You seem to be able to "rite and

you have not touched upon evolu

you air your views at an early date
on this all-invportant question. I
read your pieces regularly.
Yours truly.

deer mr. short:
1 rec’d yore letter last night and
will anser same at once, i wanter
say at the verry out set that 1 do
not believe in ever lution. i know a
man by the name of dargin says
that man sprung from the monkey,
and 1 not is that him and a man by
the name of ine stein have agreed
on the science of man ansoforth,
and ailso rcllv tevity, whatever that
means.
mr. dargin says that someBdddy
dropped a little peace of jelly on the
beach millions and millions of years
ago and the sed jelly soon got to
wiggling around and the first thing
It knowed, he had a foot, and he
wiggled some more. and he had
othe*- limbs ansoforth sprouted on
him. and then the sun shined so hot
in his face, he woke up one morn
ing with 2 eyes, and after that—he
comments to turn to dtffrent things.
now about that time, according to
mr. ine stein, everything comments
to be reliy five, and some more jelly
turned to a female In scekt, and
her and her husband soon had just
Codlings of little off-springs, and
when one of them would turn to a
doodle or a frog, the other one ir
order to be reliy five would turn to
a chicken or a lizard, and finely at
least, some of them got; to turning
to chim pansies and monkeys and
gorillas, and they say that is from
whence wc get our legislators, com
monly called man.
1 nrgy a good deal with my wife
about ever lution and can almost
prove that her cuzzin. sam. who
stays with us off. and,on all of the
time, sprung from a babboon on
ner count of the way he reaches
over the table for food befoar the
blessing is hardly asked, but 1 am
against believing that anything was
ever anything else back yonder but
what it is today, rite or foam how
you like the way i dognose this ques

Today's Good Telephone Service
Must Be Better Tomorrow
Not long ago very few long distance call; were handled
while the calling .subscriber remained at the telephone.
Today more than 70 per cent are handled that way.
Today the average time required to complete a long
distance call is only 2.4 minutes as compared with 7.S
minutes five years ago.
Similar improvements have been made in your local
service and errors now average less than two in every
100 local calls.
These achievements are the result of new inventions,
improved operating methods, new equipment, combined
with the skill and interest of experienced operators, line
men and engineers cooperating with an army of loyal
workers, many of whom are technical experts.
Proud as they are of these accomplishments, the tele
phone organization is not satisfied. There is no standing
still in the Bell System and every day organized effort
is directed toward making your service even better to
morrow.
