Shelby SIDELIGHTS
By RENN DRUM.
Perhaps you didn't know It. but neither did we until t’other day: A
Shelby man once sold Will Rogers a radio.
Several year* ago Mr. White, now manager of the Sterchi store in
Shelby, wm with an Aahevllle store Will Rogers was in Asheville for a
lecture. A call came from the hotel where the humorist was stopping
for Mr. White to come around. He did and Roger* Immediately began
to question him about th# best radio he had In hi* atore. Then be wrote
a check for it and told Mr. White to send the radio out "to my brother*
on the Cherokee Indian reservation ”
“Doc” Hopper and Whltey Kendall, rodeo performer* at Buttle drug
store, are contending that beans being eold by them are equal to the
"doodle-bug” oil being sold by the hardware stores which will bring
I fishing worms crawling out of the ground by the downs. Recently they
planted a bean In the sidewalk In front of the Buttle store and the bean
Icunie up, believe It or not.
Sixteen years ago J. T. Gardner was elected mayor of Shelby and
'the new aldermen were J. O. Dudley, o. Elam, T. O. Grlgg and T. W.
| Ilamrick.
That was the year that Kings Mountain was voted Into Cleveland
county from Gaston by a vote of 341 to 370.

HWs * tip, trom York, for our farm readers, if any:
Musics power, generally looked upon as most effective when
used to soothe the savage breast, also can play a big part in get
ting wagons up steep hills, Jerry Flpps, farmer, says.
Two mules sometimes failed to pull heavy loads over ■ hill
near his home until he bought a banjo. Now he hooks one mule
to the wagon, plays the banjo and goes over the hill "in high,”
he reports
Shelby Shorts: Maybe you didn’t know that Guy Hull once had an
oratorical medal pinned on him by a Confederate general at Oak Rldga
Institute .... Mrs. O. D., who Uvea In New York and Is as charming as
any of the girls Flo Zlegfeld and Oeorge White round up, reads this
colyum. That might hurt Odd McIntyre's feelings .... Seeing tt writ
ten down on the company K roster as "Lieut. Avery W. McMurry’’ one
would hardly think that the new officer of the Shelby compahy Is none
other than Willis McMurry. And it’s a treat to see him step in that uni
form .... Who you going to vote for next Monday? Maybe It Isn’t
any of our business Just as it Isn’t of yours as to how this corner tosses
in the ballots.
Whew! Oct this anonymous entrance for the Miss Shelby contest:
"More about beautiful girls—Shelby has a young brunette more fas
cinating than your Joan Crawford (Shucks, boy. she’s not our’n: she’s
married to young Doug Fairbanks-, her eyes reveal (or conceal), more
mystery than those of Greta Oarbo, and she has the sweetest voice of
any choir singer in the city. But to keep some of the other entrants
from yelling partiality one of the candidates for mayor could not serve
as Judge,"
The girl who fills that description should watch her step—she may
be kidnapped.
One of the Thompson twiiw—tnaybe It was Joe, or teas It Lyle? We
can't say for sure—has compiled the following historical information
about Shelby fbr use in this space:
"The city of Shelby was started in 1841, and the first home was built
in 1840. It stood where the Central Methodist church is now and was
erected by Dr. Williams The late Judge J. L. Webb had hte law office
there for years and the building was not torn down until the church was
erected.
• The first jail was built where the Chevrolet garage now stands.
"Tom Dixon, father of the famous sons, built a house Just across the
street from the Jail.
"In 1875 the residential section of West Marlon street was nothing
but woods with only a few houses here and there.
"Three barrooihs were operated in Shelby In 1880. One stood where
the Doggett filling station is now. the second where the First National
bank is, and the third where Rose's store stands.
"The old club house at Cleveland Springs was erected about 1841
by the Wilson family.
"Jesse Jenkins, banker, built the C. C. Blanton residence on North
LaFayette street In 1870.
"John D. Llneberger owned the first blacksmith shop here in I860.
"In 1870 the Baptist Female college was started at the present Victor
hotel location.”
Hoover’s Meal
Costs Quarter
Luncheon Served To Party Of
Eight At Expense Of
$1.89.
Washing urn.—A twenty-flve-cent
piece with the edge shaved off
covered the cost of a luncheon cook
ed for President Hoover.
The meal lor a party of eight,
prepared in honor of President and
Mrs. Hoover, cost $1.89. or 23.6 cents
for the presidential plate.
The Girl Scouts little house,
quaint green-shuttered White House
neighbor erected to typify the more
modest American home, was scene
of the thrifty luncheon.
The menu was: V;
Split pea soup 18 cents; Melba
toast 6 cents; meat ahd rioe in loaf
40 cents; brown sauce 3 cents; bak
ed potatoes 9 cents; cabbage, let
tuce and carrot salad 29 cents; but
ter, table and cooking II cents,
lemon bread pudding 30 cents; lem
on sugar milk for tea I cents, whole
wheat muffins 21 cents.
Even the dash of salt and pepper
and the few silvers of onions in the
meat loaf were computed.
The primary purpose of the low
cost meal was the launching of bet
ter homes week. But there entered
alsojthe thought of a menu appro
priate for an average American
home whose Income may, perhaps,
have been slightly impaired In the
general depression.

Girl Pilot To
Race Over Sea
Miss Kuth Nichols, Fastest Avlutrix,
And Miss Edith Elisabeth Mc
Coil Plan Ocean Hops.
New York—A race between two
women fliers, each determined
to be the first of her sex to make a
solo hop across the Atlantic is in
prospect.
One of them is an American, Miss
Ruth Nichols, of Rye, N. Y., who
has flown a plane slightly more
than 210 miles an hour, the high
est speed ever attained by a wom
an. The second Is a Canadian. Miss
Edith Elizabeth McColl, of Oalt,
Ont., whose plana became known
after It was learned definitely that
Miss Nichols is intent on making
the flight.
Miss McColl, a little blonde ste
nographer, has been flying quite a
bit in Canada although she is not
so well known as Miss Nichols. Her
first flight was made at the age of
eleven, and she has been at it con
sistent since that time.
Her flight is sponsored by P. A
Broadbent, of Toronto, who said
she would use a large cabin mono
plane for the venture. The ship is
now being overhauled. No date has
been set for the flight, but lately
she has been cramming on naviga
tion and making long distance
flights in Northwest Ontario.
“I am going to cross," she said
with determination. "If there was
any doubt about it I would not be
going."
Miss Nichols will make her flight
in a plane three times as powerful
as the one used by Charles A.
Lindbergh, and 80 to 75 miles an
hour faster. It is now being over
hauled by Clarence D Chamberlin,
himself a transatlantic flier, who
will accompany her to Harbor
Grace, N. F., the starting point.

Petticoat Influence Can Be Seen
In New Styles Of Feminine Costume
New York.—The “petticoat In
fluence" may be taken literally as
far as feminine costuming is con
cerned this season.
For that relic of the days when
modesty was Indeed In flower figur
ed Importantly in showings of sum
mer fRshion at the Hotel Astor by
the garment retailers of America.
And along with this strictly fern
inlne garment there appeared num
erous other accessories to aid and
abet the "womanly woman" in her
seasonable metamorphosis from the
athletic or flapper type.
Little false curls to cover the
shaven neck: cobwebby scarfs to
disguise a brawny sun-tan: long,
trailing skirts to hide an audacious
ankle, with fans and kerchiefs and
parasols to add charm were featur
ed.
Pajamas and shorts for sports
wear, however, are still In vogue but
even these are becoming more fem
inine in design. In a parade of pa
jamed mannequins the trouser gar
ments were so wide as to give the
semblance of skirts. Fashioned from
soft silks, pleated chiffon, satins
and velvets, most of there were
shown with chic little jackets.
Even the strictly tailored street
costumes are on the wane, suits and
coats having more of the dressmak
er touch. Gaily patterned and
brightly colored scarfs, generous
chiffon kerchiefs and frilly lace
trimmed collar and cuff sets relieve
what mannish severity these cos
tumes may have retained.
Cotton lace and embroidered or
gandy in all the pastel shades will
be most popular for evening wear
the retailers predict. White, crepe,
black silk lace, and chiffons In cit
ron shades and brilliant reds will
also liven the most fashionable
gatherings.
Sleeves are a new feature of aft
ernoon and evening frocks. Puffed
and cuffed and lace trimmed, they
are usually but three or four Inches
above the elbow Long sleeves are
"ither flaring at the wrist or leg-of
mutton shaped above the elbow*.
Bathing suits are extremely re
vealing, though gypsy skirts In the
brightest hues, long capes, and huge
kerchiefs will be wwn to protect
the rose-petal and milk-white com
ulexion which milady will need
i with her new ensembles.
