thorough investigation is made of the Knickerbocker theatre disaster . meets with general approbation, even if it conflicts somewhat with the feeling that a thorough inspection of the building should have been made before it was thrown open to the public. Critics are at wide variance regarding the fixing of the blame. Some say the management of the theatre is culpable for not having inspected the roof with its weight of snow to see if the "structure could stand the strain. They believe ' that the safety of the public should have been the paramount consideration of the management, "and that it should have known that a roof designed for normal weather conditions in Wash

THE

.LABIUM

ington could not carry the heavy load of snow which fell on it Saturday. Others, exonerating the management, point to other building3 in Washington, which carried their load of snow without collapsing, and conclude that if the Knickerbocker roof had been

built properly it

and concrete, they say, are not fragile materials, and if faulty construction is responsible, the guilty ones should be punished. Some point to the design, believing that the engineers may not have been highly competent. They argue that only licensed engineers and architects should have the right to design and supervise the construction of buildings. Among the states that have laws providing for this purpose are Indiana and 16 other states. The building code of Washington is under scrutiny by others, who wonder if its provisions guarantee a full measure of safety to persons who visit theatres, places of public amusement, and edifices designed for public gatherings. The real lesson of the tragedy is that eternal vigilance is necessary in places where many persons congregate. Restrictive regulations, apparently limiting the capacity of public gathering

credited to It or

places or providing for stringent safety meas

ures, after all, afford the only true preventive against long death and injury lists.

TO DAY'S TALK By Georgs Mstthaw Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It,"

CONFIDENCE I am reminded of a story of a boat that was hit in mid-stream. It began to list quickly as the water stole its way in. The captain commanded all to crowd on the high, side of the boat while he headed for shore. There was a father with his littie boy on that boat, who said: "Son, don't be afraid, everything will be all right, we shall reach theshore safely." And so the little fellow held the father's hand and waited. When the shore was reached, his father said: "Were you afraid, my loy?" "No, Father," the boy replied, "you told me not to be, and bo I wasn't." Big human beings need to have the faith and confidence of little boys in this world. And nations need such confidence, too. Better times are made by confidence. It is all very well to talk about "economic laws" but how many such laws are daily shattered by lack of confidence! A thing doesn't begin to take shape and form until the man behind it puts his belief to work. "No Father, you told me not to be afraid, so I wasn't." There is one thing that I am sure of about God and that is that He never gets panicky. In the Bible the historian says that after He finished making the world, He pronounced it "very good." lie who builds a great structure is not bothered about minor defects that afterwards appear. He knows exactly what to do to remedy them. He has confidence. The poor man puts his life savings in the bank because he has confidence that they will be safe there. You who have builded your character upon the rocks of faith and confidence are ready for the thickest and blackest storms. Let us open our eyes each, separate morning confident of a good and happy day.

So let us waste no useful days, but cinch them as they pass, and saw our wood and hoo our maize, and cut all kinds of grass, or in our old age we shall raise the failure's cheap alas. 'Our years of usefulness are few, soon fails the strong man s vim, and lethargy attacks the thew and feeble grows the limb; so mark the days of Twenty-two, and nail them as they skim. How mournful is the pilgrim hoar, who for lost chances weeps! How futile is the busted bore who in the poorhouse sleeps! The year that's gone comes back no more, it's looped the loop for keeps. So let us labor with our hands, and with our heads and feet, in offices or peanut stands, in fields of shredded wheat; and when old age upon us lands, we'll find life's winter sweet The brave new year is speeding by, its cylinders all hit, It's climbing all the hilis on high, and throwing dust and grit; so grab tne bright hours as they fly, the minutes as they flit.

Steel 'Up" J C !.. k-JtUriCo After Dinner That all people do not have the same slant on humor is ilustrated inthe following story: One of the wealthiest men i;j Youngstown recently said to a friend. "I had a funny dream last night." "What was it a.11 about?' the friend encouraged. "I dreamed I got into a little Ford that climbed up a telephone pole, turned a sommersault on the wires, and then slid down another pole." "Well," that certainly was some dream.' "Yes," the rich man exclaimed. "Imagine me in a Ford." Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Afjo Today This was the final day of the high school and Garfield school terms. The pupils of the high school were going to utilize Monday and Tuesday to take final examinations for the work of the past term. About 10 students left the high school at the end of the term and were to graduate at the end of the second term of the school year. A campaign against smoking within a square of the high school building by high school students, was being staged and many bold young men of the smart smoker's set were called beISP- SfiVPrnl nf tho hm-c Trc.m on. spended from school for the acts. The school authorities were working to do away with all sorts of smoking. Newcastle Man Forms Partnership With Harlan Clarence Wr. Brown of Newcastle has entered into partnership with Denver Harlan, county attorney, and will open the practice of law here at once. Brown, who has been practicing law for the past 11 years, resigned a position as city attorney to come here. He also served as prosecuting attorney for Henry county. He is a former resident of Bethel. . EIGHT BUILDING PERMITS Eight building permits, one for a' $7,000 addition to the Peele factory in West Richmond, were issued by Building Inspector J. Ed. Higgs during the month of January. The permits amounted to a total of $12,623. In addition 28 permits for wiring and eight for heating were issued by him. IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR Just the moment you apply menthoSulphur to an itching, burning or broken-out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin spccialist. This sluphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever becii found to take its place. Because of its germ destroying prop cities'," it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals tho eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Mentho-Sulphur at any drug store. Advertisement.

"It is not best to swap horses while crossing the river." A. Lincoln; 1864. In morals, politics and economics our country is still in the midst of a turbulent sea; and it will be unwise to change the experienced crew. Harry S. New ha attained great influence in the United States senate and with President Harding. He has secured this- by his ability and statesmanship. He should be nominated in May and elected in November for another term in the United States senate. It usually requires at least two terms in the house for a new representative to become efficiently active in that body. Richard N. Elliott has made a good clear record and his experience has fitted him for greater influence and service, and he should be returned to the next session of congress.

John O'Neal, after holding office as justice of tbe peace at Ocracoke for eight years, resigned a year or more ago, not having had a criminal case during his administration. A successor has never been elected. Mr. O'Neal, who wag born at Ocracoke, says the worst crime he can recall to have occurred at Ocracoke in 50 years wore one of assault and battery. There are only one or two homes here that have locks on the doors and the keys to those that are thus equipped are never used. Most of the houses at Ocracoke were wholly or partially constructed with lumber of ships which were wrecked on the treacherous shoals off the North Carolina coast. Every family here own their heme. Ocracoke is at the extreme southern end of a little island by the same name, located about 30 miles off the mainland of North Carolina, and is unique in many respects.
