Why Brick Tops?

Bobbie Grice has startled a
nationwide controversy, by her
statement that she selected four
teen red heads to play in her
band, because while blondes ard
brunettes could play that soft
dreamy moonlight music, she
found that to play the unadul-
tered red hot modern jazz, girls
with red hair possess the fiery
temperament to excel in this
kind of music. The fourteen
brick tops are now playing at
Warner Brothers Earle Theater
on the stage program.

America is endorsed by the Council.
1.-The whole scheme of the BILL" the
Council says, "is to end ruthless, cut
throat competition, the wasting of OUT
natural resources, and the de-
pletion of Jul special purpose Goals,
which, when exhausted by unneces-
sary and unwarranted use, for Steam

pie future by-product, steel, foun-
dry, dye and various other maaufac-
turing enterprises.
1.-THE benefits to be derived by the
miners after the bills passage will still
be a matter of conference and bar
gaining through the various provisions
of the measure which nullify the yell
low dog contract and remove the coal
companies from their buttressed posi-
lions behind the protective provisions
of Federal and state ~injunctions. Its
enactment will enable the mine work
ers to exercise their constitutional
rights of free speech and assembly and
their inherent right to affiliate with
a trade union for the mutual better
ment of all employed in bituminous
coal mining.
1.-THE Executive Council has kept
closely in touch with all the develop
ments which have taken place in the
bituminous coal industry, and has
given profound consideration to its
difficult problems and to the numer-
Gus remedies which have been propos-
ed, looking to a solution. We are CON-
WINGED that the primary requirements
necessary to the sterilization Of the
bituminous coal industry are Il thor
ough and complete organization of the
men employed in the industry, tie es-
Enlistment of contractual relations
between employers and employees
through the process of collective bar
gaining, and the adoption of a just,
equitable and fair wage scale which
will in operation provide for a uni
versal labor cost in coal production.
1.-THE Executive Council expresses
its great disappointment over the fail
ure of the President of the United
States to call a conference of repre-
sentative miners and operators for the
purpose of giving national considera.
ton to the economic, social and in
dustrial problems which affect the BIZ
luminous coal industry"

Scott Winders, who killed Sheriff
Lock Mckenzie last July 16, will not
be returned to Salisbury for trial for
murder as originally announced; at
least, not in the zeal furture.
This information was contained in
letters received Wednesday by B. D.
ubbins. clerk of the superior
coure, and Sheriff Cal L. Miller from
DR.. A. H. Anderson, superintendent
of the state hospital for the insane,
to which institution Winders had been
committed.
Several days ago DR.. Anderson
advised local authorities, that Winders
was ready to be returned to Rowan
county for the purpose of standing
trial as he appeared to be mentally
normal again. Local authorities, to-
gether with Solicitor Long, opposed
this move, and the most recent action
by DR.. Anderson resulted.
DR.. Anderson stated that Scott
Winders is now mentally cleared and
able to plead to the bill of indictment
as charged.
DR.. Anderson's letter, in part, fol-
lows:
"We have many instances known
personally to us where lucid inter
walls in cases of this kind have ex-
listed for a period of IS Oh 20 years:
and it is my impression that it
would be unfair to Mr.. Winders tc
delay a definite disposition of his
case and keep him here for a long
period of time when he is abso-
lutely clear mentally, and 1 under
stand that no time is allowed fol
his confinement in this institution
were he eventually found guilty and
given a sentence, say, for instance
in the states prison.
yesterday the solicitor of your
district called me up and asked that
this matter be held in allegiance ane
l agreed to grant his request. So,
for the time being you may ignore
my letter with reference to your
having him returned to Rowan
county.
Fl acted in good faith with the
idea that it would be an injustice
to the patient to have him remain
here for a long period of time with
out giving him a chance to have hi
case brought up for final disposition
and also it would clear your docket
without jeopardizing MI. Winders ii
the least"

NOT DRINK,
IS OUR PROBLEM.
SAYS Will ROGERS

Los Angeles, Calif.-There exists
i cock. eyed" situation when there
is an abundance of food and at the
same time our people are starving to
death, Will Rogers declared here in
a radio speech appealing for contribu-
lions to the local jobless fund.
What does prohibition amount to
if your neighbours children are not
eating, the humorist asked. what
does all this yapping about disar-
mament amount to compared to our
own people who have not worked in
two years?"
"It's food and not drink, that's our
problem now We were afraid the
poor people might drink. Now we
fixed it where they can't eat"
Referring to the unemployed,
Rogers said:
"Now a miracle can't happen and
all these people get a job overnight.
It's foing to take time, S they must
be fed and cared for perhaps all win
ter.
sNow don't wait for the govern
ment to feed these people. l don't
know anything about America be-
ing fundamentally sound and all that
after-dinner hooey, but l do know
that America is fundamentally gen.
erous.
MI. Hoover has done some splen-
did work for us lately. He rounded
up the bankers and told 'em if they
wanted to continue to get 8 and 10
per cent from the yokels they better
start letting out some dough without
the security of a right eye and three
ribs. He told 'em to melt some
frozen assets. A frozen asset is just
a bankers mistake. Anyhow, he
sent 'em home renewing notes.
$50 now things are different.
Everybody is holding their own. In
fact, that's just that's the matter
with the country. Everybody is
holding their own-and won't let go.
"It amt really depression, either.
We are just getting back to earth
and it don't look natural to us any
more. We are back to two-bit meals
and cotton underwear and off the
$3.50 steaks and silk under-rompers.
