WASHINGTON TAR HEELS
SPEND MONEY ON LOOKS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Tar
Heels are paying more attention to
their personal appearance than ever
before. That probably does not mean
that they are out to be fashion
plates, but more money is being
spent for those little touches that
make milady more beautiful and at
tractive and the gentleman around
the corner more presentable.
Take the beauty shop bill of the
State last year for example. It was
$1,811 900 as compared with 81 ,034,-
1000 the year before. So anxious is
the fair sex of the State to compete
with sisters in other sections that
the demand for service at beauty
shops caused the number of shops
in the State last year to jump from
1913 to $50, an increase of 252, and
the number is Increasing.
And even the men have been doll
ing up, and whether the New Deal
has put more money in their jeans
or not is not stated, but the barber
bill of the State was $3,734,0OO as
compared with $3,177, 900 in 1888.
This penchant of Tar Heels to pa
tronize barber shops caused the
number in the State to increase from
1925 in 1888 to 1886 in 1885.

ENGLAND'S WAR PREMIER
HITS AT u. S. GENERAL

David Lloyd-George, Britain
wartime premier, scathingly indicts
Gen. John j, Pershing and the whole
American World war machine, in
the fifth volume of his Memoirs,
published last week in London.
LloydGeorge's criticism of the A.
E. F. commander-in- chief is based
on what he terms Pershing's stub
born fight to keep his divisions in
tact instead of having them incorp-
GRATED in the Allied armies.
He praises the courage of the
American troops but fails "Ameri-
can indecision and bustling incom-
potency and says the result was "a
fussy middle"
He says Pershing was "quivering
with suspicion that the British and
French meant to rob him of his
army
General Hugh Johnson, creator
and head of the American army's
supply and traffic organization dur
ing the World war, was prompt to
lash back at Lloyd Georges indict-
ment He said:
Il never saw General Pershing
culver, but he certainly had a right
to-"
General johnson asserted that
''Mr. Lloyd George himself was in
volved in a conspiracy to have Gen
eral Pershing supplanted by Gen.
Peytonf March so that American
soldiers might be treated as cannon
fodder by the British and French.
General March, who was chief of
staff here, indicated lin his own book
that if he had gone over he would
have broken up the United States
army" said johnson.

Increase in Home
Ownership Needed
Industrial Survey Shows That
| Building Would Be a Help
Economically and Socially

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.--A full
measure of prosperity cannot be
achieved as long as such an import
ant branch of industry as construc-
ton lags, states the Guaranty Trust
company of New York in discussing
building and business recovery in
the United States and Great Britain
in the current issue of The Guaran-
ty Survey, its monthly review of
BUSINESS and financial conditions in
this country and. abroad, published
today.
Gan expansion in the construction
of new homes in the near future is
desirable for other than economic
reasons" The Survey continues.
Perhaps no greater check to gov
eminent spending could be devised
than an increase in the number OF
homes occupied by their owners.
The social implications of changing
a large number of families from rent
payers to home owners are fully
realized in Great Britain. The boom
in moderate-priced homes in that
country has placed thousands of new
families in the homecoming class
This transitions has given these fam
iliesAa new social outlook, it has in
stilled in them new interest IN
their localities and removed the in
difference to expenditures by pub
lie authorities that is typical OF most
rent payers.
