Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. We do not know what the connection la, if any, but three Shelby law officers are located over nicklc-dlme-and-up stores. Ryburn-Hocy, Falls, Newton. Fact Is, this corner seldom ever gets the connection In anything,, Chances are, too, that such Isn't expected. People sit and twiddle their 1 thumbs accomplishing nothing and with nothing particularly upon their; minds. They go at reading tills tangle o’ type In the same mood. Why dis- ■! appoint them, if we could? EVERY MARRIED MAN KNOWS YOU’RE RIGHT, MADAM. From a lady reader, who remembers she is a lady and uses no bad words, comes this: •'That was an unclean (dirty) crack you took at us women when you said we would not serve on juries because we would not be willing to sit and listen to lawyers for hours without saying anything back, 11 j we had two or three women on every jury, we would soon do away with ] all that legal red tape, such as "party of the first part, party of the sec ond part, wherefor, whereas, hence, etc." We would also eliminate a lot of other piffle such as technical objections, sob speeches, and wrangles between ‘learned’ gentlemen of the bar who think they know consider ably more than the average human <Lord pity the poor folks). ’N another thing—1' ingoing to tell you plenty while I’m at it, and shake my finger at you every time I catch my breath: In a month's time with women Jurors we’d have them building an annex to the Jgil, doubling the size of the chain gang, nnd In two months time we’d have them as scared of the court house as a Texas horse thief was of an infuriated mob of cowboys in 1905; we’d have them so peaceful that one officer could handle all the crime in the county. And, in conclusion, don't be lieve for a minute, sir, that those lawyers could sweet talk us out of do ing so, All of tis women eat up compliments and Just dote on being told tve are too cutrf for words, but while we are eating and doting, being women, we begin to figure what’s behind the bull. Now that I have that off my mind, I'll go fix supper for my husband. If something burns, or something like that, and he says anything—well, you see what state of mind I'm In, JUST A WOMAN ” Yes'm, we see. And we believe, too, that you'd do all that you say you'd do. So will other husbands who are tuned in, Andy Newton, "Taler Andy." y'know him, the register of deeds, has a hopeful look in his eye. Merchants who have had a bad year of it., doing little or no busi ness, may think they've had a tough time. Maybe they have but Reg ister Andy believes more Packard automobiles have been purchased in Cleveland county this year than marriage licenses. High-minded, up right Christian gentleman as he Is, he has reached the point where he wonders secretly at times if the boys and girls of marriageable age in the county are practising companionate marriage—or what ? It's June now, y'see, and if there Is such a thing as June brides. In s hankering to see them. , Shelby Shorts; This is the first of the month but It isn’t an ordi nary first with regular bill collectors and all of that out at the city hull This is the month that changes, If any, will be made in the city working forces .... What street from the eoiyt house to the city limits -Is the longest? Shelby business men no longer lose time going places. Several have recently made trips to New York and Washington by air plane . . . . . Maybe they go up In such a hurry thinking perhaps they tan slip up on those better times said to be just around the corner up there . , . . . Top o' the day to Jim Shepard and Sara Thompson, the boy »nd girl who this year won the best all-around honors at Shelby high, They are worthy successors of a noble line of deserving youngsters. Shel by takes more Interest in the awarding of those two honors than any thing going to young people. And why not—when a boy and a girl have that superior something that makes champions not only in books but in play, conduct and outside activities, they are scheduled to be watched? .... Buck Redtern is still playing second base at Little Rock and Art Herd, the Kings Mountain boy, is burning up the Southern league at the same position in Birmingham .... With whiter sitting around In the lap of spring so long that cautious folks are beginning to talk about such scandalous carrying-on, straw hats are not as numerous in Shelby as ordinarily this time or the year ... Cantaloupes will be along pretty soon. *. . Scouts report that Miss Helen Stephenson was the first Shelby Bud to rusk wearing beach pajamas on the public streets this summer. Helen, however, will not worry overly much concerning comment that might be made on the latest mode in street attire, for, y'see. Helen has weathered only a few summers in life so tar . . . . YEAH! DENNIS. BUT SHE HAD THAT ‘IT** STUFF Over at Centra! high school last week Attorney General Dennis G. Brutnmitt, who may or may not in time be Governor Brum mitt. was telling the present day youngsters or advantages they have which those of ether days did not enjoy. Among other things, he reminded that Cleopatra as she sailed down the Nile was never able to whisper to Caesar or Mark Antony, “Big Boy, blow some ot that smoke this way.' Maybe not, Attorney General: maybe not. but Cleopatra must have had a come-hither look in those langorous eyes that eclipsed anything .Elinor Glyn's “It" girls ever dreamed of and surpassed all the charms Ih® movie press agents ever credited to Clara* Bow, the readhead Cleo patra, sir, has been dead so long that we've almost forgotten whether we were on hand to cover her funeral for our paper or not. but history, you note, still makes occasional reference to her, and also to another comely damsel, Delilah, who lived a few years before the days of the beauty queen of the Nile. With all of our modern advantages, Mr. Brumnutt, will you have us believe that in the years to come history will record the deeds and romances of Tex Guinan, Peggy Hopkins Joyce as they have those of Delilah, Cleopatra, and others? And Henry the Eighth may never have known the luxury of the telephone, but, mind this, he never took a chance on high blood pres sure by screaming in fury after being told for the third time that the line was busy. And it was the same way with old Croesus with all of his money. Course he didn't take airplane rides, but neither did he take any flyers on Wall street and wind up in the bread line. Dont think for a minute, Attorney General, that we’re trying to wash out your speech with indigo coloring: we re merely getting thing straight. One cannot tool these modern seniors. They were rumble-seat graduates and knew what they were about at an age four years younger than we were when we first got up enough courage to sidle to Susie and ask her in halting tones if we might see her home from the tee cream supper in the churchyard. But, as a matter of principle in explaining both sides, there are certain angles in which we are far superior to the old-timers. Diogenes trotted up one alley and down another with a lan tern looking for an honest man, but only recently a North Carolina leg islate committee soon gave up a similar task after becoming lost in the winding hallways of a Raleigh hotel and after a few stumbles over empty frult jars and glngerale bottles, We r? smart enough these days to know that a real, honest-to-goodness honest man has enough business sense to put himelf in a museum and charge so much per look rather than run around loose. Whd said we had the blues? Maybe we have, seemg that it is Mon day morning and the bill collectors are drawing lots at the foot of the stairs to see who will hear the hard luck story first __f Thomas H. Hamrick. jr„ thinks it would pay to have readers do a 'little guessing and writing ot their own. He contributes this Young man: “I love you." Young lady: "How do you know that you love me?" Young man: “ . ..* What answer should the young man give the young lady?

Chicago.- Take the word of Ely Culbertson, recent winner of the Harold Vanderbilt bridge champion ship trophy, for the statement that women are bettor bridge players than men. “The average man," said Culbert son, "thinks he’s perfect. He think, he has nothing to learn. Women players know more and study more. I believe one reason women take to bridge is because it gives them ao opportunity to settle the Intellectual score with their husbands at the card table.” Not only this, but Culbertson. Is | positive. that the black eye bridge ' has been getting in divorce courts lately is entirely underserved. When couples fight at bridge, he : says, it’s generally because of aome ! thing else happened before they got ‘ to the-party. Not only thU, he adds, but fighting it out this way prevents ntore serious difficulties, and there* ! fore prevents more divorces than It causes.
