In Regard to a Pablo
Library


Secretary Bertram, of thelCarneeie
library fund, has made inquiry as
to what High Point would do i'm re-
Gard to securing a library for this
city. 1t is the usual plan for the
city making bid for the fund to
buy the lot and guarantee that ten
per cent of the amount given, will be
provided by. the city for the main
,enance of the library each year.
For instance if $4,000 is secured
f1ieh Point must put up So. 500 each
year and this would call for a bono
election to meet the expense. The
city now owns two valuable lots or
which it could erect such a buildins

OF STRUGGLE
IN EAST is DECREASING

London, Jan. T.-According to Of
ficial advices from Vienna, the fight
ing on the eastern front has decreas-
ed in violence, the Russians having
ceased to attack with vigor between
the Pripet and the Besabarian from
tier The only gain officially announc-
ed for the Russians yesterday was
at Czartorysk, the scene of many SAN
culinary struggles where. it is said the
Austrians were driven from the ceme-
terry.
An advance in this region will
threaten Kove1. one of the strongest
Austro-German positions. 1t is be-.
lieved that even though no further
gains should be made Russia's forces
have attained a position which will
give the nation a degree of power in.
the Balkan affairs it has not had since
it's armies were driven back from the
Carpathians.
The British public is still concern
ed chiefly with the domestic crisis.
notwithstanding the heavy majority
for the compulsfon bill on first read
ing in the House of Commons, the
press is speculating on the possibility
of a breakup of the political truce
with a general election os the final
chapter of the controversy.

Carr's restaurant Cannon and
Broad streets, maintains a cabaret

Elm street has five singers. the At

Star, Middle street, three singers. The

There is no charge of admission to
the cabaret shows, but in most of
them the visitors coat and hat is
checked as he enters, and for this it
is customary to tip the checker. The
checker pays substantial sum for
the privilege. In one place the
checker is said to pay 500 a month,
taking a chance on making enough
in tips to pay this rental and leave
wages for the checker.
Entertainers in the cabaret shows

walters get small pay and tips. Other
entertainers earn from SIS to $40.
from which are deducted commissions

Plans already have been made for
the suppression Of the cabaret shows,
if the proprietors of these places
show any inclination to resent the in

officials take the stand that the ca

obtained for SUCH entertainment, and
that if the cabaret manager has no

such licenses have been issued to the

Tt is held that the general char

does not contribute, materially to the
