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.

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.

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.

FAST PACE OF
I). S. 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. (LP) Another nroflt-
able business along the shores of
the Grand River Is assuming pro
portions. It Is clam digging. 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. There
will also be exhibitions portraying
the scientific, technical and Indus
trial progress of Germany, as well
aa restaurants and danoe -cafes of
several kinds. Moreover the theater,
which will have teat far 500 guests, -win
be need also for the production
of Oerman opera and for the pre
sentation of movie and radio pro
grams.
The snip Is a roar-masted schoo
ner which Is being thoroughly ov
erhauled and modernized. It will be
driven by motors instead of sella
Commodore Hans Ruser, formerly
captain of the one-time Hamburg
American liner Imperator, has been
chosen to pilot the show boat, while
the name selected 'or the craft Is
'Pro-Arte."
Leaving Hamburg late In Januarv
the show boat will first visit a num
ber of English and Belgian porta;
thereafter It will, cross the Atlantlo
and begin a northward cruise along
the South and North American
coasts.
