Hoyle Sink’s two weeks terr of superior court opening here Jul: 12 will have to speed through 12 criminal cases on less than 20 min utes per case, if it completes th schedule indicated on the first crim tnal calendar ever issued in Cleve land. This calendar, made public yes day by deputy clerk of the cour William Osborne, shows 120 cri minal cases to be disposed of ii one week. Even if the court work ed eight hours a day—which w court ever does—there would b only 24 minutes available for eaci case. Then The Oratory Such a stem limitation, in vie^ of the importance of some of th cases, and particularity in view o the notable flowering of Cleveland' legal oratory, would be an absurdity Many of the cases will not b reached. The new calendar. mirnegraphei copies of which are available ti members of the bar, is regarded a, a great convenience. Attorney; will know precisely on which day, their cases will be called, and wit nesses can be present accordingly instead of being compelled to si through the entire term awaitini their turn. The Civil Calendar The civil calendar, which will b< tried the second week, beginniru July 36, lists 36 cases, the most sen sational of which is the complaini against Earl Byrum lodged by Vemo Wright, O. D. Crawley, Marvin Gold Elijah Brooks and Shannon Ham rick, who are suing for heavy dam ages, alleging injuries received ir a wreck last December. Not Sensational • The criminal docket is one of th< least sensational to be tried heri in twelve months. There are few er prohibition violation cases thar are often found In one week record ers court, 21 to be exact. There an 12 assault cases and 35 breaking and entering and larceny cases. The one murder trial, that ol Walter Leaks, negro, charged with killing a negro woman, is regardec as cut and dried.

Dover Mill Vault Robbed ,j Of Cash And Diamond Ring > The Dover Mill office wa srobbed > Monday night for the second time ’ within a year by thieves who broke ■ the vault door, smashed the com • | bination, and escaped with between 'four and five hundred dollars ini | cash and a diamond ring. The robbery must have occured after midnight, Charles Dover said this morning, because families living i near the office were up until that] hour watching the eclipse of the moon and would have seen - anyone enter the building. Footprints were found near the rear, but no other clues were dis covered. Sheriff Cline and his de puties are investigating. The ring was a diamond-set and belonged to Mrs. Frank Love,.sister of Charley and Jack Dover, who had asked them to put it in the vault for safe keeping. Deliverymen Present Plea, Obtain Parking Privilege Members of the board of alder men, whose first gesture after tak ing office was to try to unsnarl Shelby’s parking problem, found themselves in a traffic jam Monday night. The iceman, the baker and the taxicab men came to city hall to say that gprtain provisions of the new traffic laws just wouldn’t work, and the board, which hadn’t wanted to make it hard for the iceman, the baker and the taxicab men to make a living had to relent on some of the more stringent regulations. No Back Doors It was that doubleparking band that caused the trouble. Delivery trucks bringing ice, ice cream, bread or whatnot to Shelby stores are often unable to reach the back doors of their customers. Some times there aren’t any back doors . Other times, storekeepers don’t want delivery men hauhng 300 pounds of ice through a stock room. I So the delivery man brings it a I round to the front. And there he runs into trouble. , Sometimes he can’t find a park ' ing place right in front of the store. So what does he do? He double . parks—and gets chased away by Paul Stamey or Knox Hardin. ( Then the customer doesn’t get his ice cream, or his cream puff. Ladies Want Service Carl Mull, of the Blue Ridge Ice cream plant, and L. C. Bost, of the Bost Bakery, presented these pro blems. S. S. Summey, who has a ’ dry cleaning plant on South La Fayette street, appeared also, and ’ said that many of his customers were Jadies who liked to drive up | to the curb, without parking—any way, they couldn’t find a place to park, half the time—and toot the horn for somebody to run out. "Never takes mor’n five minutes to serve ’em,” said Mr. Summey. The council deliberated on these traffic problems, and decided that reasonablness was the essence of the law. Mr. Summey’s lady customers will be permitted to double park and toot the horn If they don’t stay more than five minutes. The de livery trucks will be permitted to double park for ten minutes if their drivers don’t dilly dally and spin yarns In th|r store, and if there isn’t any parking niche avail able. T**Je Men Complain That was that—and then came the taximen, headed by Taximan Free man, also of South Lafayette. Seven cars, he and his associates have, and look what’s happened: they go out on calls, people slide into their places, and when they come back, what to do? Double park and the law’ll get you. The taxi problem Is still unset tled. The board declared its ut most, willingness to co-operate with the taximan, and is investigating possibilities of new parking places for them, even considering spread ing gravel over a lot somewhere for them. As for residents of Shelby, few have complained about the new re gulations. They discovered that they didn't have to double park, and are obeying the shrill warnings of traffic cops. The board Monday night decided to levy a fine of one dollar for the first traffic offense and $2.50 for the second. Fire Hydrants Traffic matters occupied the greater part of the meeting, which Mayor Woodson wanted to steer into a discussion of troubled budge tary matters. There was the street sign salesman, too. The city wants a good many new signs, several hundred, in fact. They also heard (Continued on page nine.'

Possibilities of State "The possibilities of our State are unlimited. The soil Is copable of doing great things if We will mix intelligence and knowledge with its treatment and cultivation. The undeveloped resources are awaiting the exploration and conversion by the intelligent boys and girls of our school and colleges. The farm is still the mainstay of our civiliza tion. We need more land owners and more home owners in North Carolina, and greater facilities for producing and profitably market ing the diversified products of our land. Good rural schools, good churches and civic centers in our country-side rural electrification ■and other forward moves,will tell j powerfully in our future citizenship land its contribution to the wealth.

Whether It means "look out for a dry spell" or Is Just “re vival meeting showers” no one seems to know. Anyway, It was entirely welcome. Wright Tries The Lie Detector, Finds He Can’t Tell Falsehood You can't beat the Lie Detector —can’t even get by with a little white He, all In good fun. So reports W. P; Wright, proprie tor of the Owl Shop, who tried to tell a lie to this new gadget which may revolutionise criminal court trials. He tried It in Washington, at Department of Justice, under the eye of Melvin Purvis, the O-man who got Dellinger. “Are you married?'’ the G man asked “No,” said Mr. Wright—and the Lie Detector wlgglod a negative. Mr. Wright la married. “Where do you live?” "I live In Charlotte.” The detector wiggled again Mr Wright lives In Shelby The device is the invention of William Moulton Morrison, who per fected it in 1913 in the Harvard Psychological Laboratory. He pro ceeded on the principle that no nor mal person can lie without effort, and that the effort of lying would increase the strength of the heart ibeat, that is, the pressure of the | blood in the arteries when the heart ! muscles squeeze together. Actually, the Lie Detector is merely a blood presure gauge, a sphygmomanometer, the same little gadget the doctor wrap* around your arm just above the elbow to take your blood pressure.
