HIGH HEELS BRING
TROUBLE TO COWBOY

PUEBLO, Colo, Jan. 10. (UP)
The fact that a cowboy can't run
worth a whoop, is almost aXlo-
matte.
The reason is because of the
high heeled boots which are a
cowboys pride and JOY in life.
Boots. and his inability to run,
got one lone cow-poke into a lot
of trouble here. ,
The waddie--tall, slender, and
sun Drowned, wearing a 10-gallon
hat and an old pair of boots, and
overalls, walked into a local de-
partment store and asked to see
some cowboy boots.
He tried on a pair that fit per-
fectly. Then he got up and while
astonished clerks watched did a
Nurmi out of the store.
The clerks followed and caught
the cow-poke block down the
street.
He told such a good story of
hard luck, however, that they gave
him % cents. his old boots, and
let him go.

be.

OF
BUREAUS PLEA
TOO SWEEPING
Mecklenburg Senator Was
Generalizing in His
Economy Plea
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel


RALEIGH, Jan. 10. - The
statement of Senator Il. l.. Kirk
patrick of Mecklenburg on the
floor of the senate that he fav-
ored abolition of every board,
bureau and commission Of the
state government with the excep-
ton of the revenue commission,
was made only in a broad sense,
he said today. The Mecklenburg
senator, former mayor OF
Charlotte, while believing that
many agencies Of the state can
be done away with, does not fav-
or the discontinuance of any
agency which would seriously
hamper the operation Of the gov
eminent and put it on an ineffl"'
cient basis, he declared.
However, Senator Kirkpatrick,
who, even in the short time the
1888 general assembly has been
in session, has emerged as one OF
the leading opponents Of econ
omy and reduction Of govern
mental costs, is convinced that
the State of North Carolina can
get along just as we'll without a
lot of its boards, bureaus and
commissions which have been
created in recent years.
"The government should be
turned back to the constitutional
officers" Senator Kirkpatrick
said in an interview with this bu-
reau today. "That is where it
belongs. 1t should never have
been taken away from them in
the first place. There are too
many bureaus, too many commits
sions, too many boards. It's the
same story at Washington, and
the people back home are de-
manding that the government be
put back in its proper place, and
all useless agencies be done away
with"
While expressing the opinion
that North Cardinals affairs are
in better shape than those of
other southern states, Senator
Kirkpatrick believes that North
Carolina needs a thorough house
cleaning, and sees the 1888 ses,
sion of the legislature as headed
in the direction of that objec,
tive. "The people back home ex-
pect it, and are depending on the
Legislature to take up the task
courageously," he said,
Asked whether or not he favor
ed repeal of the burlington bone.
dry act, the Senator from Meek
lenburg said that economy legis-
lation would be the immediate
concern of the legislature, and
he would not consider the CUES
ton of repeal until and if it is
brought up. Senator Cover of
Cherokee, has announced that he
would introduce a bill to repeal
the prohibition enforcement act
at an early date.
Senator Kirkpatrick said he
was not ready to announce his
stand on the sales tax issue until
later in the session when the
legislature is presented with re-
ports from the finance and ap-
preparations committees, which,
under a resolution adopted by
both houses, will be submitted or
or before February 6, the earl

Nation Spends 10
Billions Yearly on
Its Recreations
By OTIS PEABODY SWIFT
United Press Staff Correspondent

Dr. OltS TcAoOD OWL
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-(UP).
The people Of the United States
spend $40, 165,OOO,0OO yearly for
recreation, almost half the total
being accounted for by various
pleasure uses Of the automobile.
But according to the three
year survey of recent social
trends made by President Hoo
ver's committee, Americas pleas
ure tastes are changing. Profess
sional boxing exhibits, cabarets,
pool rooms, fraternal societies and
even baseball are declining in
popular appeal, while golf, foot
ball. luncheon clubs and parti-
cularly hunting, fishing and hik-
ing are rising in popular acclaim.
Largest among all items of
pleasure expense which the COM
mittee cites is the three bill
lion two hundred million dollars
which it estimates is spent an
nually on vacation automobile
tours. Next comes a billion
and q half spent annually on mo-
ton pictures, and then $1,246,-
100000 spent on other pleasure
uses of autos.
Americas cabaret and night
club bill runs to $23,725, 900, a
mere detail compared with the
$500, 100000 spent on motor
boats. Motorcycles account for
ten million, and bicycles for
nine. Luncheon clubs eat their
way through $7,500,000 worth
of cocktails, boiled chicken and
ice cream annually, while we
manage to burn up and shoot off
$6,771, 900 worth of fireworks
each year.
The nation spends almost as
much - $2O,000,000-on playing
cards as it does on college foot
ball, which brings a $21, 100000
annually. 1t likewise spends as
much $4,000, 1000 for phono-
graphs and for accessories as

Huddleston voted against the
18th amendment and stood on his
record for years. before other
southern congressman turned wet.
But now
This Congress. has done two
important things-voted on repeal
and a beer bill. Those votes were
sops to an unthinking, but har-
assed people-pandering, dema-
gCgic sops to the ignorant. If I
wanted to keep national prohibit
ton l couldn't think Of any surer
way to do it than the present pro-
gram of the extreme vets.
Il voted against beer on con-
stitutional grounds and against
the repeal amendment because its
provision for ratification by con-
ventions is dangerously unsound
and likely to delay repeal.
ssTHE beer tax is lot Of damn

bring in 500, .00G or $780,
100000. It's sales tax decreed
by those who won't levy a sales
tax, to be paid by the poor. It
won't begin to balance the budget
even if the supreme court lets us
have it.
"If we get by with beer we're
likely to have no repeal. The
brewrs will then oppose repeal
and We'll have a division between
vets such as helped the drys put
over. the. amendment in the first
place. Opening beer saloons will
give the drys something to point
to and holleT about and will stiff
fen the opposition to repeal.
Il am willing to vote for fiat
repeal whenever we can have it

have always ratified amendments

Charlie hadn't heard of the "dou-

cred that Kessel and Baumann had
mistaken his stage falls for unusual
acrobatic ability.
With this grave dread Of probably
having to dash to his death for the
edification of a two-reel comedy. he
gritted his teeth and decided to 'try

Very gently, in his first chat with
Mack Sennett, he brought in the SUBJ

He later built his own studio In

not appear in person.

OUCH a splurge as stripes and plaids

realm where ginghams galore and
dimities and linens and other popu-
lar materials for little folks clothes
are simply running riot in the matter
of striped and plaided effects.
To add sprightliness to the mode
the little frocks Of plaids and stripes
take on all sorts of dainty organdie
frills and furbelows just like grownup
fashions are doing. With these fat
tering organdie trimmings, sewing
mothers need never be at loss as to
what to do" to achieve prettiness for
little daughters summer dresses.
We think the little ruffled organdie
cape on the red and white cross-bar
dimity frock which the little girl to
the left in the picture Is wearing is
detail worth keeping In mind when
next the problem presents itself as to
show to trim" this or that frock for
Miss Seven or Eight. Each circular
ruffle is piped with bright red to har-
monte with the plaid. The skirt is
somewhat gored and q sash of self
material is tied in perky bow at
the back.
Since these little capelets are so
decorative and so easy to make, why
wouldn't it be good idea to make
one as a separate item so that 1t
could be worn with any number of
dainty frocks. Accessories Of this sort
count as a real asset when it comes
to dressing up" children to occasion.
Concerning the charming little
guimpe dress Of multi-colored ging-
ham on the girl picking flowers, it is
