PLANS FOR CONVENTION

Preparations for entertainment
of the editors have gone forward en-
ergeticalIy unremittently for the past
few weeks. There were number OF
local committees which had in charge
the arrangements for entertaining,
and taking care of the busisness fea-
lures of the convention. These COM
mitteemen, three were on there met
tie and throughout the results Of
their fine work was evidenced IN the
thoroughly pleased manner in which
the visitors received the various
forms OF amusement planned for
their benefit and enjoyment. The
local comittees outlined some time
ago the different plans. These plans
were enlarged from time to time
until it finally came to the point
where desired forms OF entertain
ment had to be abandoned simply
because the time at the disposal OF
committee was limited to the three
days session OF the convention.
Had it been possible, the committee
would have kept the editors here
Indefinitely. Wilmington felt honor
ed in entertaining the writer's Of the
State and would willingly have ex-
tended the duration Of the visit here
lust as long as the editors felt like
staying. The fact that the visitors
departed so soon, was not the fault
Of the local press representatives,
both writer's and others. They felt
ttiat they were entertaining their
brothers and that anything here
was none too good for the visitors.

The buzzard usually choose a ledge
on a cliff for an evrie, but in certain
parts Of Wales there are few we'll
used nests in trees, and as they are
generally used by some bird of prey
each season they grow to an enor-
mus size. The buzzard does not as a
rule, use the same nest two consecu-
tive seasons, but returns to it the
third, and after that allows another
season to elapse before occupying it
again.
Two nests are often constructed
in one dingle, and an amusing Incl
dent happened a few years ago in
one Of these places. The hen laid
one egg in each nest, and, as it was
quite imposiable for her to sit on
both at once. we did her a good turn
by placing one of these eggs in the
nest with is companion. The result
of our kindness was that a collector
passed by about two hours after
wards and put both eggs in his col
lecting box.
When l thought the matter over !
came to the conclusion that that old
buzzard was not half such fool as
we took her to be, and if we had
left the eggs as we found them the
bird might have had a chance of
rearing one youngster. Country

ARE YOU HUNGRY?
Your Character May Be Read By the
Color OF the Food You Cheese.

By the food they choose that is
by the color of the food-ye shall
know them. That's the latest theory
brought forward by learned ply
sician, DR.. j. S. Goodale prominetly
connected with a certain medical
school of the Middle West. Sound
odd, doesn't it? Not only odd but
about as senseless as the majority of
fads over which many master mind
puzzels itself days. DR.. Goodale
claims that when you enter a rest
aurant and select ch ocolate- -colored
food you unconsciously show your
self man Of taste and refinement;
but if, on the contrary, you show a
partiality for yellow-colored foods,
your taste is most probably low and
vuglar.
The doctor in explaining his strangs
theory, says that he first made ex-
periments with animals. "a cat,
for instance" he says, "is very much
Influenced by the color of its food.
In one experiment | placed humber
of pieces of meat, each tinted diff
ferent color, before a cat. The
animal looked at each piece care
fully, and then selected the red-color-
ed meat. Dogs, on the other hand,
do not appear to use their visual
sense like cats. If the food smells
all right dog will eat anything.
Human beings are very sensitive
as to color Of their food By max
ing inquiries among caterers l found
that chocolate-colored foods were
easily the most popular among edu-
Gated classes. The poorer classes
have liking for yellow. One of
the reasons Of this may be that they
think such foods are richer than

THE PRESS CONVENTION.
A Very Delightful Session Held at The
barrymore RoteI, WrightsVlIIe
Beach.

The following notes on the meet;
ing of the North Carolina Press
Association were written especially
for the Charlotte News by Louis T.
Moore, City Editor of the Whining
ton Dispatch. and we reproduce
them because he covers the ground
thoroughly. Mr.. Moore says:
The 39th annual convention Of
the North Carolina Press Association
in session here this week is now a
thing of the past, yet it remains in
the memories of the scores of editor
ial writers in the State as a period
OF unusual enjoyment and profit.
Naturally the papers outside of
Wilmington were not able to carry
as complete reports Of the conven-
ton as they would desire on account
of the limited amount IF time IN
which correspondents were prepared
to send off stuff to the papers re-
~ 1cSSlIGC Dy luoln.
1T is practically certain that the
people Of tl.c State are more inter-
ested in the work of the editors
probably than that of any other
body of men. The editors come in
daily contact, through their columns,
with the people of every section Of
North Carolina. There is a close
personal relationship existing be-
tween an editor and his corps of
readers that is not duplicated in any
other phase Of business or profes-
sional contact. Therefore, it is more
than certain that the readers of your
paper will not be uninterested in
knowing in detail what happened
during the convention just conclud-
ed and exactly what the editors did
to have a pleasant and profitable |
time.
First and foremost the conven-
ton was held at Wrightsville Beach.
This is the most popular and widely !
Known resort on the South Atlantic |
coast: The fame of the beach has
been heralded throughout the South. |
and the people Of Wilmington hailed
With real delight the opportunity to ,
bring the neighboring resorts before
he personal observation of the
editors Of the State press. In this
manner it was felt that the many
of the beach could be
placed before the people Of the
State, through the editors, in bet
er and more convenient way than
n any other form Of exp, ,esslon.
When it was decided last summer to
lold the 3Sth annual convention of
he Press Association at Wrightsvil!e,
10Th beach and city residents COM
nenced to look forward to the occa-
ion with just as much zest and en-
oyment as those who expected to at
end the convention.

speakers were received with enthus-

ARRIVAL OF DELEGATES.

Alert and attentive committee
men met the visitors when they ar

that the visitors were placed on the
electric train bound for Wrightsville
Beach, checked the baggage Of the
delegates, and rendered other minor
attentions which attested the real
pleasure il gave the Wilmingto ton
press and citizens generally to have
in them. Not only where there
men, for the midst such a splendid
coterie Of men, fair sex represented
by the wives and daughters of the
editors filled the only remaining nice
feature which had seemed uncom-
