SOCIAL NOTES
Annual Ball
Big Success
Novel Jail Causes Much Mirth
and Puts Stop to
Flirting.
J.W. Archibald In Charge

The second annual ball of the
Second Ward Republican Club
was the biggest and jolliest affair
ever held by that organization.
John w. Archibald, chairman of
the entertainment committee. did
himself justice in Royal manner,
and was ably assisted by AL Pow
ell, Edward Cottingham, Harold
Clark, and Robert Perkins. The
big feature of the evening was the
Jail, which was the penalty for
flirting with the ladies. The lock-
up did thriving business, being
empty at no time during the even
ing, so it cannot be said that the
ladies charms are diminishing.
Novel programs were given out
at the door which contained pho
tographs Of city, county and state
officials.
The most arrested and most mar
ried man of the evening was Mr.
Tony Russo, who received for this
distinction a leather travelling set
The most jailed and divorced lady
was Miss May Gautier, who re-
ceived for her list of broken
hearts beautiful polychrome
floor lamp.
Miss Edythe Kendall, a local
dance celebrity, entertained with
an exhibition of the Charleston,
and later with a clever Oriental
dance. Several gave exhibitions
of the Charleston, principal among
whom were Miss Mildred Farr,
Ben Hoffman, and Sal Jiampetti.
The music was furnished by the
celebrated Sea Side Serenaders, Of
Atlantic City. During the evening
George NJ Bates presided at the
punch bowl, while Robert Perkins
held the .enviable position of Jail
er. Councilman George Engle-
hardt was the magistrate and Ear
nest Willis presided over the di-
vorce court. Several hundred per-
sons enjoyed the dancing.

SPEAKING ABOUT HUMoR

One of the most valuable assets we can have
is a real sense of humor Rightly cultivated
it pays big dividends. But like dynamite II
should be handled with care.
), For example the man who said Cheer
up, old pal, the worse is yet to come" to a
3 friend whose wife and two children were i'll
with pneumonia and who had just lost his job
deserved the swift kick he got.
On the other hand time and time again. we
have seen the tenseness of serious situation
relieved and brought to happy ending by
some one who knew how to apply a spark OF
real humor.
For instance, when someone asked Eddie
Cantor the popular comedian of Jewish birth
what he thought Of the Ku Klux Klan he said
well, if it ever gets on paying basis, think
the Jews will take it over"
Neither is humor cure-all. When we have
real troubles like the man and his family men
toned above, we can't help but worry and
feel bit weary with the load of our burden.
Nevertheless, there are many times when a
real sense of humor can be powerful factor
in chasing away gloom and dull care. 1t also
acts as wonderful safety valve when we feel
like blowing up.
Thackeray calls humor "a mixture of love
and wit" Our movie comedians seem to think
humor is mixture of custard pie and mud
throwing Most of us prefer Thackeray's YER
sion Because when our humor is mixed with
"love and wit" it cannot help but brush the
cob-webs of worry from our brain and at the
same time open the window of our heart so
that the sunshine of good fellowship shines in

UNCLE SAM HELPS

Albany Herald The United States govern
ment comes unreservedly to the assistance OF
the Southern cotton grower. 1t will finance
without burdensome conditions, the withdraw
al from the market of one-fourth of the bum
per crop of 1926. The only condition laid
down is that there be a 25 per cent reduction
of the 1927 cotton acreage, and responsibility
for bringing about that reduction is placed ex-
actly where it belongs-in the hands of the
banking interests Of the South They have it
in their power oforce compliance with the
one condition of the government which can
and will save millions to the South
The government has done all it could have
been expected to do. The future is wholly in
the hands OF the banking interests of the
South, which can be relied on TO take their re-
sponsbility seriously, and see to il that next
years cotton acreage is held within the bounds

AUTOMOBILES AND HOMES

II seems for the past few years there are
more people more ambitious to own automo-
biles than homes. This fact is proved by the
rapid increase in automobiles and the slow
increase in homes. There are many. who are
willing to live in small rented homes in order
% own an automobile and the demand has
come for small cheap homes. For that reason
many who build for rent are building small
residences and renting at low price so that
the renters can own automobiles. A country
is safe with home lovers, with people owning
their own homes. If the American republic is
to be saved for the future it must encourage
more home owners and home lovers. 1t is the
home that makes values more permanent and
makes people happier and more patriotic.

MAINTAINING AND SAVING ROADS

On practically any highway, wherever you
come to detour sign indicating road building
or maintenance work in progress, you are
likely to hear the road Of tractor.
What contrast TO other days when horses
supplied all the motive power for road con-
struction Farmers were permitted to work
ou their taxes with makeshift equipment
The public attitude toward this antiquated
practice is indicated by a statement from K.
II. Baker, Assistant Engineer of the Tennessee
Highway Department:
While there is a law in this state which re-
auires all citizens residing outside of an incor-
porated unit to work out or pay county road
tax, we believe far better results might be OBJ
tanned if this tax were reduced to 80 per cent
of its present amount and expended by coun-
ty maintenance organization which is equipp-
ed for and instructed in the proper methods of
performing such maintenance
Just what part modern tractors and ma
chinery play in providing better roads at less
cost is indicated by another statement from
the same official:
1--WE find that our state maintenance forces
engaged in maintenance of our state highway
systems, obtain results more economically
with use of modern road machinery, and that
such results are far superior to results OBJ
tanned by our county officials who do not have
the machinery or the organization to conduct
the work.
Statistics compiled by the U. S. Bureau OF
Public Roads show that there are now more
than 312.060 miles of public highway sur
faced with gravel or higher type pavement
constructed at an estimated cost of S6,240,
100000. and serving more than 90,000,00(
s. people AS pointed out by highway officials
] the saving in interest alone on this enormous
investment would justify the use of most eff
ficient methods of maintenance and paving
aside from any question of convenience to tn

City-States of America

New York and Chicago are getting
so large that question begins to
rise as to the just representation of
their population in government, es-
pecially in the state legislatures.
They contend that p. .ortion to
population, wealth, influence and tax
bills the city people have too small a
representation and that in state at
fairs other parts of the state work
against their interests. The trouble
is complicated in New York by the
city overrunning three states-New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut
while Chicago has overrun Illinois
into Wisconsin and Indiana. When
the city areas are decided upon a
radius from the centre of the city
gets across the borders. There is
continual warfare Of political na-
ture between the city and country
districts. Some political economists
have proposed as the best solution
the establishing Of political entities
or eity-states out Of these over
grown cities. This was common IN
ancient Greece and Rome and even
modern Venice has had her separate

modern problem TO be solved by an
ancient solution, but eventually some
thing must be done That We have

Can Women Help =?

Every time the cotton prices slump
somebody reminds women that We do
not wear cotton as we used to, and 1t
is true. The editor of a textile bull
letin in Charlotte, n. c., says there Is
nothing can induce women 10 again
wear cotton stockings. SO he suggests
Gotten snocks. He seems afraid 10
mention dresses or underwear of COT
ton since these, too, like hosiery,
have so largely become garments OF

would be useful for girls in offices
and factories and for Homework and
also Sin style" By this he shows ne
understands the situation. Some
years ago at state federation meet
ing of the Women's Clubs the es-
tee,ned president, the late Nellie
Peters Black. inplofed the women
who would come as delegates TO bring
at least one cotton dress. also every
club as far as possible to Buy bale

generally that year. However. all
that women can do in using a very
little more than usual Of cotton fab

Why Britain Is Great
. - By M:

WHY OLIe&uh 40 0AS0k
An imperial conference in London
last week in which all of Britain's do
mains were represented by delegates
is said to have been the most import
ant in the history of the British En-
pire. Six premiers, the president Of
the Irish Free State and the Mahara-
jah of India represented in the aggre-
gate AL 100000 people, which is
about one-fourth of the worlds pop
ulation. Imagine the inhabitants of
so small an area as England control
ling so much territory and so many
people as these figures indicate. We
may truthfully say Great Britain
from this point of view, though
America feels superior to any nation
on earth. We must recognize, how
ever, in great problems that England
or Great Britain has them towering
over those of any other nation in the
world. Surely wonderful ability,
marvellous diplomacy has been used
in the direction of her foreign affairs
to keep her dominions in so nearly a
tranquil and loyal attitude through
such revolutionary changes else
where in the world. The Locarno
pact has brought up a diplomatic
problem greater than any immediate
consequence of the world war. This
was the outstanding question before
the conference.
