Modern Girl Ought
To Wed At Age 23
Chicago.—Tlie modern girl should
marry at the age of 33, Dr. N.
aproat Heaney told the Gynecolo
gical Travel club.
,Dr. Heaney, conducting a clime
for the touring gynecologists of the
United States and Canada, declar
ed that age to be Ideal, from the
biological point of view, for mar
riage and the preparation for the
responsibilities of childbirth.
‘'Pioneer women usually married
earlier,’’ said the attending obstet
rician and gynecologist of the Pres
byterain hospital. "Conditions then
prepared them for childbearing at a
younger age. The stress of modern
life is of different nature than
that of pioneer years, and in the
average case it Is better that to
day’s bride be several years olde.r
thfcn her grandmother at tin.' t!ms»
of marriage.’*

making the banks safer places to
deposit money. He states:
"In my opinion the banking sit
uation Is slowly Improving In North
Carolina and safety for depositors
should be the. first consideration of
all officers, directors and stock
holders.
"During the past two years banks
have carried large uninvested cash
reserves Rnd this has caused them
to make less profits.
"Banks have, also, suffered losses
which should be charged ‘off, and
Investments carried at Inflated val
ues should be depreciated to their
real values.
“This can be carried into effect
by paying no dividends this year
and the cash reserve retained will
make banks a safer place In which
to deposit money.
"Where banks follow yuch a policy
their statements speak the truth
and they merit the confidence of
the public.”
No Cuts For Them.
"The public school teachers and
the State's constitutional officers
are the only people In this State
who now have a guaranteed inCiTIhe
for two years. So far as I know
this has never been done by any
other State,” LeRoy Martin, execu

Equalization, told a group of pro
fessors at Duke University Satur

Viciou* Rabbit
Attacks People
High Point.—If High Point hasn't
he-man rabbits then rabbits there
are missing a good chance to gain
a hard-boiled reputation.
Several days ago one resident
swore he saw a rabbit chasing a
large police dog which was trying
to escape by running in circles.
Now comes Clyde Hedrick who
reports similar Instances.
Hedric^ reported a neighbor of
his. a woman, saw a rabbit in her
yard and that she attempted to pet
it. He said It leaped at her several
times and she had to ward It off
with a stick.
The rabbit then hopped down a
few doors, Hedrick said, and took
a bite at the shoe heel of another
neighbor as this man came home
from work.
Hedrick said the rabbit ripped of
the entire back part of the heel.
