Vandenburg asked a series of questions regarding gold purchases and asserted that by enabling for eigners to build up big holdings of American securities they had brought "peril to our own domes tic situation.” Complaint Basis He based his complaint on the ground that when gold streams in to the U. S. it is sold for dollars ox used to buy American securities. Should foreigners decide to liqui date these securities, change the dollars back into gold and take the metal out of the country the na tion’s economy would be dealt a depression blow, he argued. Replying the treasury chief said that “dollar revaluation under the , gold policy stopped a gambling , streak of prices and helped to ini- ' tiate fin upward movement, stim- ! ulated business activity, wiped out some of the gross injustice be- 1 tween debtors and creditors, ereat- 1 ed by sharply falling prices" and 1 enabled exporters to regain their 1 competitive position in foreign markets. i J.

( Woman,Aged70, j Under Bond For Operating Still Tt is unusual for a woman To ] years of age to work steadily to make her own living, and it becomes real | news when a woman who fcps passed the three score ten mark operates a liquor still to kqep her supplied with bread and bacon. But Mrs. Mina Lowman, tall and strong as many women much young er was placed under a $200 bond be fore Federal Commissioner John P. Mull yesterday and will appear in Federal court here next week. The charge was operating a still. Deputy Mack Poston brought the7 woman to Shelby. She said it was the first time she had ever been here, although she has lived just across the line all of her life.

Stray Dogs Wilf Be Impounded Stray dogs have become a nuis ance in the city of Shelby accord ing to action of the city fathers, and from now on must watch their step.

Trick-Playing Bears To Feature Grandstand Show At Huge Fair The paradox of dumb intelligence will be exhibited before the Cleve land county fair grandstand the week of October 6 to 10 when a crew of dancing and trick-playing bears perform. Emil Pallenberg, who has been training animals 20 years says the fundamentals in bear training are patience and sweets. He compares them to children in this respect. Bears are full of play and except for wrestling and somersaults, it is virtually impassible to teach them tricks. Even after a bear has achieved hla majority, he is frolicsome, and Mr. Pallenberg. assisted by Mrs. PullenberK, devotes uu hour each day to permitting “Elia" and “Han J gah” to wrestle, restrained by leach and muude, until both are pulling from exhaustion. The Pallenbergs have what might! be aptly termed “A Bear of an Act.” These sagacious Bruins are almost human in their pursuits and actions; they roller skate, ride bi cycles, play basketball, row boats, walk tight ropes, and one 450 pound brute rides what is known as a "Giraffe Wheel,” a huge, ladder like construction atop two bicycle wheels, which is 12 feet high. This is a diffie.ult feat for even a man to perform, but the dumb animal i proves he Is not so dumb when he i pilots the tricky contraption , around. i Pallenbergs Bears have been featured willi Uie UiugliiiK Hjit. i Kainuiii mJ bailey til CuS, Uie mammoth circus .how of the world where they met with gicai tclaum 1 Wall Takes Part In Centennial Of Baptist Pioneer SrclIoiuHam Lai Leaders Hoi Aside As World Late Lather COLUMBIA, Sept. 25.—(^—Bap tists of the north and south bur ied sectionalism today at the grave side of Luther Rice, a pioneer Baptist/missionary in the United Stated kesmen from the northern southern Baptist conventions ailed services commemorating the hundredth anniversary of Rice's i death as the occasion for a closer' understanding among American Baptists.
