Stands Pat on Statement.

A long distance telephone Mes- sage to The Press this afternoon stated that Curry, after most se- we're third-degree grilling by the officers. protested his innocence. He exhibited signs of a breakdown. Wit nesses have been subpoenaed from Caraway station to give testimony bearing upon Curry's alibi 10 the effect that he was at that place at the time his wife and child were murdered. He maintains that witt nesses will bear him out that he has told true story. A negro nn- der arrest in JonesbOro charged with the crime, is yet being held. but it's the general impression that the darky is innocent of the fiend ish tragedy. The case yet seems to be completely enshrouded in mystery.

DOROTHY DIX TALkS-PLEASING THE MEN

BY DOROTHY DIX

Young woman asks me 20 give her some
reliable receipt for pleasing the men
There is none. Nobody knows just what
neculiar quality in woman attracts men or
REFUSES them. Even the Bible declares that
the way of man with maid is one OF the
mysteries that human wisdom cannot fathom
Generally speaking, glrrS trSt AID 10
popularity is beauty. Every masculine eye is
caught by a pretty face. Every man likes
To he seen out with peach, who makes other
men rubber and ask the next day who was
the little queen. Undoubtedly, heavens best
Gift to a woman is peaches and cream COM
plexion straight noSe and hair with naru-
raj wave in it; for if her good fairy has en-
dowed her with these gifts, she can get all
the balance herself.
But let not the girl who is not living
picture despair. Nothing is easier to camou-
flage than peachiness. Handmade COM
plexions are usually better than the real artl-
cle Marcel artists perform on every corner,
and there are very few men, thank God, who
have ever learned to distinguish between a
woman and her clothes
The next aid to popularity is to learn how
to dance, how to play cards, how to play ten
mis- and golf Especially how to dance, tor
in these days. If girl wants attention from
men, she must be able to tread a measure
with them without stepping on their toes. Heels
are even more IMPORTANT tnan neauS just d.
present, and though a girl were as beautiful
as Venus, and as clever as ASpaSia, she would
line the wall if she could not todde, and
shi1nmy, or shake nin1ble foot in the latest
dance steps.
AS for games, the girl who wishes to be
popular with men must play we'll enough to
make the game Interesting, but not so we'll
that she beats her partner. If she can keep
herself in the perpetual amateur class who
begs the man she is playing with to teach
her that wonderful stroke of his, or explain
that marvellous lead at bridge, she will never
look for instructors, or have to sit on the
country club veranda with the golf widows.
Nothing has more to do with the hit that
women make with men than the line of con-

Others want to monopolize all the talking

But there are certain things that all men

No man likes a scandal mongering woman,

"HE'LL OUTGROW 1T"
BY H. Addington Bruce


xTOUR neighbor's little child is subject
Y to might terrors." Almost every
night, afte sleeping quietly for
while, he startles the family by. shrieking
wildly. So loudly does he call out that you
can hear him plainly in your own home.
It seems to you that something must be
seriously wrong with child thus afflicted
But the child's father, who one day brings
the subject Up il casual conversation, makes
light of the diquieting nocturnal tumult
Hell outgro.r it,, he tells you, confident
ly. might terrors are common among chill
dren, and don't mean anything in particular.
When he's a little older he won't be troubled
that way"
Which is quite true, so far as the cessa-
ton of might terrors'' with greater matur~
ity is concerned. Only
might terrors" are always indicative Of
nerve strain of some sort. If the cause OF
this strain is not found and removed il is
altogether likely that, even after the might
terrors" disappear some otker and perhaps
more serious nervous symptom will develop.
You have another neigbbor blesse7 with
bright, healthy little boy 'Night terrors'
do not trouble this child in the Least. But
he has, you notice, one rather unfortunate
popularity.
At an age when he should be speaking
well he mispronOunces words amazingly. 1t
really is difficult for any one outside the
family circle to grasp what he is trying to
say. But thic speech defect causes his par
ents not the least anxiety.
Hell outgrow it," they are agreed. Its
just baby talk, Of no significance. He'll
speak like everybody else after a While"
Perhaps he will. Only
Experience teaches that uncorrected baby

life of faulty ways of thinking as we'll as
faulty ways of speaking The child who from
the start is traine to articulate distinctly, TO
pronounce words correctly, is the child most
likely to be an effective speaker and souna
thinker in later years.
And in your neighborhood there IS a
third child, who astonishes you by the pas
sion he displays when anything crosses him:
Also he astonishes you by the exuberance Oh
his enthusiasm VIXEN pleased.
Much of the time he is either boo-hoo1ng
vigorously or cackling wildly in delight. You
wonder that his parents do not make some
effort to tram him to moderate this undue
display of his feelings. But, as before, you
are informed:
"He'n outgrow it. Why take all the
pep out of the little fellow? Life Will So

Alas What life may do to him, IL ne grows

Sail, Ahoy!

Y F coal is high, is not wind free? So rea-
son those who urge return to the sail
b. as a means of escaping the present ex-
cessive cost of propelling ocean vessels by
steam. From Liverpool comes word that be-
cause of the scarcity and burdensome cost
of fuel, aggravated by the coal strike, "even
the great transatlantic passenger liners are
handicapped" while as for freight steamers,
hundreds are tied up because they cannot
be operated profitably."
This and multiplied instances Of the sort
are turning practical as we'll as poetic minds
back to the days when a good ship cared no
more for the price of coal than gull did;
d it is pertinertly pointed out that not
until fuel became cheap did steam drive sail
from the seven sea-.
Time was when the sailing vessel itself
was a new thing under the sun. Inc nrst
ships or boats, were driven by oar, that de-
vice having evolved from the paddle. Rivers
Ike the Eu pirates and the lie, and seas
like the Pc sian Gulf and the Mediterran-
can could not have mothered the sailing
cram, which might have stood on their tran
quill waters becalmed for days together. The
gulley was the natural thin: IN such clr-
cumstances But as explorers and traders
began adventurng beyond the Pillars OF
Hercules, pushing out into the Atlantic
where the waves were too boisterous Tor

propulsion for the seagoer; and it was not

Nineteenth century that the beaut, ana

More Than Traffic Can Bear
~T SHOULD be perfectly clear, even as


far as Washington, D. c." declares
the Ore IN ] urnal, that unless freight
:.rates are materially reduced the reliance OF
the Pacific coast must be placed upon water
"a TRANSPORTATION, and that unless the charges
of water transport alton are made economic
s ally attractive the great production enter
prises OF this region face disaster
The problem is not peculiar to the Pacl1ic
coast Throughout the United States hlgh
costs of transportation have untowardly at
Elected industry and commerce and the rev.
enues of the carriers as we'll. That the
latter must be vouchsafed an adequate re-
turn return sufficiently to take care of
needful repairs and improvements and at

without saying; the rights of the railroads
(not their special privileges nor their ex-
pIoitation by adventures in high finance)
are no longer challenged by responsible men.
But they are now in the singular predica-
ment, it would seem, of having rates which
are too high for their own good, and GER
tainly too high for the good of producers
shippers and consumers The number OF
idle freight cars is said to exceed any rec
ords of the leanest seasons gone by, and
many railway companies are reported to be
in sore straits, Notwithstanding repeated
rate increases.
Some solution there must be if business
is duly to be encouraged and transportation
interests themselves placed on a stable basis
To tax traffic more than it can bear is tt
destroy it. Secretary Hoover has evidenced

problem in undertaking a thorough inquiry
into existing rates. 1t is greatly to be hoped
that a relieving and constructive answer

Running Water

: a the result OF an inquiry among three
, - thousand of the larger farms in pros
porous communities, the New York
State College of Agriculture reports that sew
'enty per cent Of the homes are without run
ming water, seventy-seven per cent without
furnaces. and eighty-fve per cent without
bathrooms.
Furnaces can be foregone where there is a
roaring neartn or coy stove, but the rural
absence or running water and bathrooms goes
far to explain the much deplored cityward
drift. The swimming hole, be it granted, is
a countryside luxury which many town
dweller is denied and in the leafy summer
months goes far to compensate for lack Of
the less idyllic tub. But there are no pallia-
lions to the hourly, daily, yearly, everlasting
drawing of water for kitchen and other house
hold needs. certain lusty pride there is in
the hewing of wood, a glow of frontier hardi-
ment. But the drawing of water smacks too
much of Egyptian servitude; there is no rel
ish of manhood in it, and only drudgery for
woman. Running water for the farm house
will do much to stop running away to the
city.

The more feminine woman is, the better
men like her. This goes for both dress and
conduct. You never saw man who didn't

man who didn't like gentleness and sweetness
The reason is perfectly obvious. Each sex

a. . as being remarkably alike in ability
and remarkably different in personality ana
character. Both have risen from humble anu
difficult beginnings to colossal fortunes, but
the means they employed and the influences
they exert are as dissimilar as ruthless
Prussianism and Christian charity.
Of SHINES, the Belgian observer writes:
'EThe present king of German industry be-
came rich during the war. Totally unscru-
-pulous with an inflexible faith in his own
strength with tremendous vanity when
made him quite indifferent to all notions OF
Justice of good faith, or of pity, all THIS mas

> from other people-his own countrymen as
.well as foreigners. And he deVotes this great
bower which he has acquired entirely to the
service of imperialistic ambitions which DOM
mate the ruling classes. 1t must be acknoWl-
edged that SHINES possesses an lmperlous
will, and an active audacty capable OF
breaking many obstacles; he is quick at de-
Gliding but, on reflection, his way resembles
singularly bird of prey. Does he not re-
mind us then of the eagle which, only yes
terday figured in the German coat or arms!
=, Now for the other picture:
.'Henry Ford is quite different. He IS
above all the type of the American mecnaHl
clan and engineer. What attracts him is the
struggle between mind and matter; what ne
seeks is the victory of the science Whlch OF
ganizes humanity. His rapid fortune is built
up on this science. One of the first among
the Americans, who have SO many practical
-men. he has understood the power OF pro-
-@ductive organization. He has centered all
his energy on this organization; and the re-
suits have been so magnificent that they
seem almost miraculous. He has no I'M
healthy vanity but only desire to realize
grea+ things which will aid human progress
and which will give humanity greater Wei
being"
The contrast so Interestingly drawn by the
Belgian journalist is one in human nature
tor perhaps it were better to say human at
.-ttude, rather than in things economic: IL IS
not riches nor power that make men heart
.rless and domineering; it is the Stlnnes IN
them. Therefore it is that the betterment OF
~the world is to be effected, not through elap-
=. crate programs of economic and political
: change, but through a lifting up ana en-
t-1ightenment of human souls.

- in general, is not caused by lack OF
foreign needs but chiefly, if not altogether,
by want of credit accommodations. Millions
upon millions of dollars worth of manufac-
lures and farm products, cotton included,
would be moving from American ports to
the markets of hte world if we were pre-
pared to give long-term credits on sound Sc
curities; and when those facilities are made
freely available every industrial and COM
mercial interest in the nation will feel the
invigorating effect
There was never perhaps, time when the
world wanted our raw materials and many
of our finished products so much as now.
Former Secretary Redfield, of the United
States Department of Commerce, now presi-
dent of the American Manufacturers Ex-
port Association, says that Australia has
twenty-five million dollars worth Of high
grade securities which she is ready to pledge
for purchases of American automobiles and
trucks; that Scandinavian countries are
ready to give tax warrants as collateral for
purchases of American machinery to be used
in the development of their water-poWer;
that Belgian concerns of the most depend
able character wish to buy extensively In
American markets, and are ready to give the
best of security. But because we have no
ADEQUATE provisions for long-term credits,
these rich opportunities go begging.
