M'FARLANE SPEAKS
TO EXCHANGE CLUB
Gives Vocational Talk AT
Weekly Meeting AT
Cape Fear Hotel

Selling newspapers, to president
of q labor union and finally n the
automobile industry was the inter
esting story told by George McFar-
lane as he continued the series OF
vocational talks by members of the
Exchange club in yesterdays lunch
con session.
eff a business is solely for the
purpose of making money, it should
not exist" he said. every business
should benefit the community. Some
of my biggest customers are my
competitors"
+ The automobile service suffers
from the lack of an apprentice sys'
tenn, said McFarlane. The trouble
with boys today, he said, is that
their parents are so intent on giving
them something they missed with a
college education that they forget
to teach them how to work.
McFarlane gave a short biographl'
cal sketch of his life. He was born
in Charleston of Scotch parents. HIS
first Job was selling newspapers In
Wilmington, Delaware, at the age of
IS. He became copy boy o, the news
paper, and then his parents moved
back to Charleston.
There he was printers devil on
the News and Courier. Later he drew
cartoons, and when he was II years
old, he became a cub reporter on
an afternoon paper. In accordance
with the general custom of training
newspaper men at the time, NC
Farlane spent the next 8 months
visiting other cities with large news
papers. When he returned to Charles
ton he worked on a new newspaper,
the Charleston American.
War claimed his attention next
when he accompanied three friends
to the naval reserve recruiting Of
flee, and was influenced to enlist
by a high pressure navy man." He
was assigned to a navy yard, and
seeing no hope of reaching Europe
he applied for a cooks position
hoping to work as apprentice to a
ships cook.
Instead when he received his ap-
pointment he found himself the only
cook on a boat and he knew nothing
about cooking. Feeding each mar
for 80 cents a day, he said, taught
him his first lesson in economy.
When the wal ended he went
back to Charleston as telegraph
editor for a newspaper. Then he be-
came interested in labor union and

EFFORT TO RAISE
SEVERANCE FAILS
Concrete Patch Over Slit In
Hull Gives Way, Ship
Sinks Second Time

Misfortune seems to be lowering
about the Inflated steamer Sever
ance, which sank by the bow NO
vember 20, for just as a long con-
crete patch on her side was COM
pleted and information had gone out
that she was to sail, the patch gave
way, and the Severance sank a Sec
ond time.
For more than a week the crew
of the wrecking barge Chapman
had labored to put the concrete
butment over the slit. Now the work
must be started all over again, and
the Severance is nc nearer being
shipworthy than when she sank
three weeks ago at Cape Fear river
draw span.
C. D. Maffitt, agent for the ship,
said further repair work will begin
the first of the week.

COURT REPORTER
Decision in the Strange Case Of
THE MAN IN THE
GREEN MASK"
Continued from Page Eight

The su-
preme Court of the State of Florida
decided that "Bingo'' is gambling.
The plaintiff in this case was the
State and by the decision, "The
Man in the Green Mask" was fined
the sum of $50, and some of the
players were also fined $3.50
apiece for participating in the game.
While "Bingo" is classed as a
game of chance, some sections of
the country are more lenient than
others, in that it serves a useful
purpose in bringing much needed
revenue to some worthy organiza-
lions without causing any appreci-
able monetary loss to anyone.
The court went into a lengthy
dissertation on gambling and cited
a most apt definition on the sub
ject by an authority, Anderson,
who says: Anything that induces
one to risk their money or property
without any hope of return more
l11dl1 W 8VS 4Ol AlOtAAAAA dly AlVCl1
amount from another, is gambling
no matter by what name It may be
called"
The defendants protested that
the a~rresting officer had allowed
other "Bingo" games to 60 I'M
molested, but the court held that,
if this were true, such favoritism
was no excuse for allowing the
offenders in the case to go un-
punished.
This was taken from a true case.
