BYROIt Mobs Aiding Communists Rioting and mob demonstrations in North Carolina cul minating in the shooting and killing of a woman sympathizer with the strikers, reflects the feverish sentiment of the re gion and enhances the difficulties of securing a fair and im partial trial of the accused Gastonla strike leaders. The hos tile demonstrations against the attorneys for the accused, following the mistrial caused by the insanity of a juror, add to the suspicion that the defendants are being tried because of their social and political beliefs instead of the crimes charged. From the Communistic standpoint, these anti-Commu- nisi, rims lurnisn me Deal possioie propaganda tor the cause. The mobs are playing into the hands of the Reds and their lawlessness goes far to convince the outside world that the defendants are being persecuted as Sacco and Vanzetti were. At the same time they as seriously embarrassing the court and complicating the situation. Efforts to punish the mob leaders will add more complications. The first trial jury was secured with difficulty after venires had been repeatedly exhausted. The selection of ' another jury in the same locality will be still more difficult in a region where the popular mind is inflamed by partisan- snip ana prejudice. Canada's Example According to official figures the profits of the British Columbia government's administration of the liquor business for the semi-annual period ending March 31, 1929 totalled $2,305,054, bringing the total profit since the adoption of the present system of control in June 1921 ,to $24,587,833. Of the last six months profits, $628,919 was distributed to the municipalities, $292,679 to hospitals and charities, $354,845 to Mothers' Pensions, and $975,599 retained for the govern ment. British Columbia seems to have solved the liquor prob lem much more satisfactorily than the United States, which Instead of regulating, has outlawed it, and spends tens of immune a year ior meiiectuai control, wnicn has increased lawlessness, stimulated crime, and crowded courts and pris ons, without diminishing the flow of liquor. British Columbia has outlawed the saloon, "without at tempting by compulsory Jaw to .compel total abstinance and tnereoy eliminated most of the abuses of the liquor evil and it has accomplished it to the profit of the taxpayer. In the United States the bootlegger makes the money instead of the government and the taxpayers foot the bill. It would seem that with the sane and successful ex ample of the Canadian provinces before us to contrast with our own unsuccessful efforts, an effort ahnnlii ho ing in the near future to adopt a similar program, instead of arriving ior me unattainable and making a bad mess worse. Some day perhaps, we may get rid of the blinders of fa naticism and apply commonsense to end the reign of hy-Drocricy. Cheap Currency The tendency of the federal bureaucracy to save at the spiggot while wasting at the bunghole was never better exemplified than in the case of the new abbreviated cur rency, which is to be investigated by a congressional com mittee. The object of the new currency was to economize on paper, but the ease with which it is counterfeited more than offsets the saving. Louis A. Hill, former director of the Bureau of Engrav ing denounces the new money as the "Doorest. confessedly the cheapest and without doubts the most dangerous issue of United States currency in history." The quality of paper used is far less durable than the old style, the bills are quickly laded in washing, as any one who has accidentally dropped one in water finds out, and easily counterfeited. The size of the new notes prevents delicate engraving, intricate scroll work and portrait tinting which marked the old currency and so promotes counterfeiting. It is also as serted that in case of the national bank notes, the overprint ing by city, date, and bank of issue on an engraved skeleton form is in direct violation of the law. POPE'S EMERGENCE UPSETS HOLIDAYS Rome (IP) The hollfays began late thU year In the Vatican owing to the additional work entailed ay trie oomlng Into effect of the Later an treaties and the Pope's outcom- Inf from St. Peter's on July 2s.

Be fore leaving Rome, the cardinals of the curia must obtain the Pope's permission.

CHINESE ASHAMED OF DEFORMED FEET Peplng op For the first time In China's long history, Chinese wo men with bound feet are becoming ashamed of them. "Lily feet," al ways regarded as an Indispensable to beauty, are becoming a disgrace. A foreigner who has recently travelled In Roman province, re ports that a number of Chinese wo men whose feet are deformed by binding are using large shoes to cover them up. The usual tiny shoe Is used, and over this a constdereably larger one la placed, to give the Impression that the feet are not bound. But their walk always gives them away, the traveller states, because bound feet prevent women from walling naturally. POOB 8HBIMP8 New Orleans. La.

Thomaa, Wisconsin TURNING THE CLOCK By Mary Graham Bonner The little black clock, with Its white face and dull black hands, had stood on top the desk In the back hall for many years, and for many years It had not run. The hands pointed to the fact that at a certain 7 o'clock years and years before It had stopped. But it was such a pretty, quaint little clock that It was a favorite even If It couldn't keep time. It was late one evening when Peg gy, who was 5, had gone to bed and John, her brother, three years older. was about to go that he suddenly noticed the little black clock grin ning. Its hands were stretched out. No longer did they point to 7 o'clock. 'Hello, hello, hello, came a whis per from the little black clock. John went and stood before It. Did you speak, by any chance?" he asked. I certainly did. rve been waiting for ages and ages for you to notice me at bedtime. Do you want to come with me? You may call Peggy it you like. But, mind you, no one else! No one else may share my secret." "You have a secret?" John asked. "Then that's what makes you look so nice why we all like you." "Of course, I've a secret," said the little black clock. "Oct Peggy.flrst and I'll tell you." John went and quietly woke Peg gy. The rest of the family was downstairs. "Years and years ago I decided I'd stop telling the ordinary time." the little black clock explained. "I was allowed to use some magic which lets' me turn myself backward or forward to any time at all ex cept the correct time. So for the rest of the world I seem to be 7 o'clock. Cornel We must be off. How far shall I turn back tonight?" 'Oh. when the Indians used to own the country." said John. 'All right. The Indians It shall be then." So the clock turned "round and 'round and "round until the whole scene changed and It was several hundred years earlier and they were at an Indian tepee. Tomorrow 'The Indian TrpeeT M.

SEEN AS "TERRIFYING" Paris 0P The present fenera tion of Americans have been weigh ed In the balance and sadly found wanting. They haven't learned the art of doing nothing. The Indictment Is that ef U. Rene Puaux, chief foreign editor of the powerful French newspaper "Le Temps" who has made a trip to the United States under the au spices of the Carnegie endowment ior international peace. Like most European visitors, U. Puaux was amazed by what he saw in America, but like so many of his philosophic countrymen he wonders whether all that Americans are striving for In the dally rush Is worth the trouble. "The tremendous pace of life In America la simply terrifying" he states. "A meal In a minute was the announcement I saw over a San Francisco restaurant. A sky scraper In a few months I" A meal In a minute to French men Is a little short of sacrilege. The recollection of the slogan evoked from the eminent French Journalist a well tntentloned dia tribe against American culinary habits. "Not only do Americana not know how to live since they have not learned the art of doing noth ing they do not know how to eat or how to cook," he holds "Ameri can cooking Is ruined by being too complicated. By constantly trying new refinements. Americans will destroy the dish and Incidentally meir stomaens. A plain lamb chop does not satisfy them, although when prop erly cooxea mere is nothing more delicious. No. that would ha too simple and so your American chef mixes several sauces together and pours that over the chop, then adds a piece of pineapple and a dash of grapejuice. ui course, we result la a mess." Life in the United State, Is lop sided. Is another conclusion of this newspaperman. "Americans have no conception of what moderation Is" be contends. "Everything they do they do to ex cess. No repose." PRIZESOFFlED ON FASCIST ART Rome (IP) The Fascist Party and the government have united in of fering two prizes of 50,000 lire each for works of painting or sculpture inspired By the Fascist Ideal. One prize Is offered for a work of painting or sculpture which "draws Its Inspiration from per sons or events relative to the crea tlon of the 'I ascl" " or original sec tlons which developed the move ment. The second prize of 50.000 lire Is for a statute which "exalts the spiritual and physical vigor of the Italian race. The Commune of Venice also of fered a prize of the value of 25,000 lire, open to non-Italians, for a painting or sculpture representlnt maternity. Several of the General Confeder ations, such as the Artists' Confed eration and the Confederation of Industry have also offered prises for modern paintings and sculptures. The Idea behind these offers Is to encourage the development of art under Fascism, and the move ment has the direct approval of the Duos. Ionia. Mich.

A clam Is a clam to most persons, but to ciam diggers" they may be called a lady finger, a squawfoot, a pock- etbook, a mugget ball, a pebble-back, a three-ridge, a sheep toe or most anything else. GERMAN SHOW BOAT NEWEST IN PUBLICITY Berlin (m America's all but for gotten show boats, which once fre quented Mississippi river and At lantic coast towns, have given 1 group of German citizens their Idea for a new method of spreading pub licity about Germany throughout the world. A Oerman show boat Is now being fitted out In Hamburg and next January will set sail for an 18-month voyage. Drama will not be the only at traction aboard the vessel.
