THE UNDEFECTIVES.
(By Kathleen Norris.)
In the world there has died a baby;
eager to part with breath,
He has sliped from the world’s hot
noises, hack to the cool of death.
Sightless and dumb and unhearing, he
is done with his days of pain!
And an eager army has risen, aghast
at a baby slain!
Parents—clergymen—doctors— public
debate runs wild
Among hundreds of men and women
who know the love of a child.
And their right to dispute his sen
tence, which one of us will gain
say?
But what of the other baby, who will
die of neglect today?
Not a defective baby, shut in a world
of his own.
But a conscious child, who is hungry,
or sleepy, or cold, or alone.
A whole, sweet, confident baby, a
baby with eyes and ears,
Who clings like a little soldier to the
scanty hopes of the years.
Until in the cruel summer, or the
winter’s cold, he goes
A gallant baby outnumbered by a hun
dred subtle foes!
Foes in the milk we give him, foes in
dirt and disease,
Dangers of street and gutter, and
greater dangers that these.
Bom of a social system that counts
the rent and the wage,
And keeps the heart of a baby shut
up like a beast in a cage.
You who have risen In protest, call
this a crime if you will!
Or, better, go find a baby, perhaps one
is living still.
Who will not be here tomorrow,
whose battle is nearly done,
Who has lost the unequal struggle
for comfort and food and sun.
Bring hack his tiny conviction that
+ the world is kind and right,
And that hunger and want and fever
are only dreams in the night.
And when he is strong and happy,
with his own little place on earth,
Then form your organization to save
the deficient at birth.

THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.
Dear is my friend, but from my
foe as from my friend, comes good.
My friend shows what I can do, my
foe shows what I should.
—Frederick von Schiller.
• • •
Selfishness is not living as one
wishes to live, it is asking others to
live as one wishes to live. And un
selfishness is letting other people’s
lives alone, not interfering with them.
—Wilde.

A BEAUTIFUL EVENT
Miss Nina Davis entertained a
number of the young school set last
night at a very beautiful New Year
party at the home of her parents, Mr
and Mrs. W. H. Davis, on Prince ave-
nuo.
The lovely home was resplendant in
holiday decorations and the Iowct

lng and games. Delicious refresh
ments were served during the evening
and the young pople made merry the
occasion. The guests were:
Mises Katherine Ashford, Dot Hasel-
ton. Hazel Hodgson, Katherine Park,
GHEEjSLING-DAVISON.
Much cordial interest was felt in
the marriage of Miss May Gheesling,
of Greensboro, to Rev. Chas. Clement
Davison, of Woodville, on account of
th6 popularity of the young people
themselves, and the prominence oi
the families they represent. The
beautiful ceremony which united these
two lives was performed at the
Baptist church Thursday afternoon
at 4:30 o’clock, by Rev. L. E. Dutton.
Stately palms, garlands of cedar,
white marble urns on tall white pe
destals were artistically placed to
produce an effect of simple elegance.
A proper setting fbr the little bridal
party.
Mr. Henry D. Goodwin and Dr.
Goodwin GheesTttng, of Greensboro
and Mr. Wade Durham and Mr. Julian
Davison, of Woodville, were the ush
ers. Rev. Fred Eden, of Toocoa, was
best man.
Miss Louise Gheesling was her sis
ter’s maid of honor. She wore an ex
quisite costume of Egyptian brown
charmeuse, embroidered in gold beads
and made pannier effect. Her picture
hat of gold lace was trimmed with
brown fur and pink roses, and she
carried a bouquet of Enchantress car
nations.
Miss Samuella Gheesling played the
wedding march and also rendered
very beautifully the Angel’s Seranade
and other selections on the pipe or
gan before the ceremony. She wore
dark green crepe de chine embroider
ed in gold.
The bride entered with her father,
Dr. G. H. Gheesling, who gave her
to the handsome groom awaiting her
at the altar. She was attired In
beautiful coat suit of midnight blue
broadcloth, trimmed with beaver fur,
with hat, gloves and shoes to match.
As she turned to leave the church
she made an exquisitely beautiful
picture with the expression of love
In her soft brown eyes, as she smiled
at her devoted mother and father.
Greensboro has given to many
young men wives who have blessed
their lives, but none more sweet and
lovable, combining all the graces and
accomplishments that make the per
feet companion, than pTetty, sweet.
May Gheesling.
Dr. and Mrs. Gheesling have always
fearlessly stood for all that Is noblest,
best, purest and most elevating in
their home and town and it is a na
tural consequence that their daughter
inherits these lofty ideals.

acteristics of a noble, manly man. He
Is upright, ambitious, courageous in
the real battles of life, self-reliant
and capable. Aifter finishing a three-
years’ course In the Theological Sem

Dodge Brothers
MOTORCAR
A YEAR’S GROWTH IN GOOD WILL
A year ago this time Dodge Brothers enjoyed an enviable reputa
tion as manufacturers of a very large volume of motor car parts.
This reputation aroused extraordinary expectations on the part of
the public, when it was announced that they would build a motor
car. Thousands of dealers were eager to represent them. Thous
ands of orders were placed by individual buyers.
But as manufacturers of motor cars Dodge Brothers were still on
trial at the bar of public opinion.
The car as a car was an unknown quantity.
In January, 1915, a few of the cars began to be shipped from the
factory; and a few individual good opinions began to be formed.
The growth of this volume of good opinion was in the exact ratio,
at first, to the growth of the volume of production.
But not many weeks had passed before the reputation of the car
outstripped the capacity to produce.
The good news of its performance travelled faster than the supply-
in sixty days’ time there was a waiting list in all parts of the country.
Substantially the same state of affairs has existed ever since, and
exists today, in spite of largely increased production.
There is ar very pronounced and definite public opinion now in this
country concerning Dodge Brothers car.
Nearly every man or woman you meet has a clear-cut idea of the
kind of a car it is.
How friendly and how favorable that idea is you probably know so
well that it is not necessary to go into details.
In twelve months’ time the American people have bought more
than thirty-five million dollars worth of Dodge Brothers cars.
This is a notable record for one year even in an industry which
has been marked by many amazing achievements. For a first
year, it stands absolutely unique and alone.
But the sales growth, to our way of thinking, is as nothing in importance, com
pared to the growth of a very favorable public opinion concerning the merits of
the car.
This phrase of the year’s work is very gratifying to Dodge Brothers and to their
representatives everywhere.
• It goes without saying that Dodge Brothers will never do anything, or per
mit anything to be done, which might jeopardize the standing of the car
with the American public.
