"VOL. 3. NO. 22 DURHAM HONORED AT LEGION FEAST Gets Past Commander’s Badge in Recognition of His Ser vices in 1923 and 1924 MAJOR MANNING SPEAKS At its barbecue on the Coun try Club grounds Tuesday eve ning the Chapel Hill post of the American Legion honored Carl Durham by presenting him a Post Commander’s badge. This was in token of the efficient service rendered by him —par- ticularly in helping out unfor tunate* ex-service men—when he was at the head of the post in 1923 and 1924. The gift announced by Major John Hall Manning, at the close of his speech. Mr. Durham being absent on ac count of illness, Adjutant W. B. Neal was called upon to take the badge and carry it to him with a message of appreciation from the post. Major Manning was the guest of honor. At the outset of his talk he told* the gathering that be had been instructed by the toastmaster, Colonel Abernethy, to “make it short.” And he o beyed instructions, bearing in mind that the odor of roast pig was being wafted up the slope and Hfat with each -moment that passed the hunger of the audience was growing keener. Major Manning reviewed briefly the history of the Legion and told of the activities in which it had been engaged since it was founded in France during the Armistice. About 650,000 former soldiers were members now, he said, and he urged that every post bestir it self to enroll more. He paid a tribute to the loyalty and energy of the women in the Le gion Auxiliary. Major Manning is a candidate for state commander, and he has ardent supporters in Chap el Hill. Colonel Abernethy, in introducing him, called him “our next state commander,” and this brought forth loud ap plause. In addition to the Legion members, a number of guests were present at the barbecue. Frank Capps, official of the fourth district, came up from Raleigh with Major Manning. Charles T. Woollen represented the University, R. D. W- Con nor the board of aldermen, and John L. Foister the fire depart ment. This being a stag party, the women’s organizations were not represented by their offi cials. L. R. Sides, designated by the president, Mrs. Paulsen, responded for the Red Cross chapter, and Rev. Walter Pat ten, designated by Mrs. Comer, responded for the Community Club. It is no reflection upon any body, however, to say that the response which elielted most enthusiasm was the one which Foy Baker made with his gener ous ladle when the assembled company formed in line at the barbecue bowl. Foy, working under the direction of Com mander Charles E. Gooch,- had produced, as usual, a master piece of culinary art.

Mrs. Robert Clyde Andrews, her two children, and her mother, Mrs. Agnes White, are at Carolina Beach near .Wil mington. Mr. Andrews will join them Sunday, and they *vill eome home August 9. The Chapel Hill Weekly LOUIS GRAVES Editor Chapel Hill Chaff All my life I have been read ing the statistical facts tucked away, as fillers, in the* remote corners of newspaper pages. For example, I take up a copy of the Chattanooga Times and read that there were 7,707,000 cases of eggs in cold storage in the United States June 1, 1925, as compared with 6,875,000 June 1, 1924. And another periodical tells me that the pro duction of peaches in North Carolina in 1924 was 2,070,000 bushels. And another that the entire American cotton crop in 1923 was valued at $1,563,000,000. And so on. Im pressive statistics everywhere you turn. I have read thous ands of these facts, and have often reprinted them. And all my life I have cherished the am bition to originate one—to be the very first to publish it. And now at last my ambition is to be realized: There are 320 panes of glass in the windows on the ground floor of John Booker’s house.

A few minutes after I had been talking with the town’s health officer about the mosqui to plague in Chapel Hill I hap pened to meet the University's professor of zoology who had just come back from the Dry Tortugas. I asked him if he had been troubled by*mosquitoes there. He said no, but that monster cockroaches, about two inches long, frisked back and forth over the ground and through the buildings. They had a lively appetite for the clothes of visitors 'and would eat a coat or pair of trousers to pieces in a few hours if it were left in reach. Dr. Wilson and his fellow workers in the labora tory kept their garments tight ly strapped in suit cases; this precaution thwarted the cock roaches, whose teeth (or what ever cockroaches chew with) could not penetrate the leather.

The counter just inside Rober son and" Whitfield’s door has been fitted out with a new top, and on it is pasted a sign, in typewriting: “Do not park your hat here.” Upon entering I noticed that both partners of the firm obeyed the injunction by parking their hats on their heads, and this example I will ingly followed. Piersons Due Here Aug. 27 Letters received in Chapel Hill from Mr. and Mrs. Watley W. Pierson bring the news that they will sail for home on the Olympic August 19 and are due to arrive in New York on the 25th. They expect to come im mediately to Chapel If ill, reach ing here August 27. Mr. Pier son has been absent since last September traveling and study ing in Chile, Argentine, Brazil and other South American coun tries, and in Spain. He writes from Paris of the great interest taken in Europe in the Scopes trial and the genuine surprise that such a thing could occur in America in the twentieth cen tury Major Graham 87 Years Old Major John W. Graham was 87 years old on Wednesday of last week. The day found him in much better health than for many weeks past, and he was able to get out of bed and greet a number of his friends who called to pay their respects. CHAPEL HILL, N. C., FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1925 Back from Tortugas H. V. P. Wilson Is Home Again After Work in Laboratories Henry Van Peters Wilson, professor of zoology in the Uni versity, got back Wednesday from the Dry Tortugas, where he had spent a month working in the marine-life laboratories of the Carnegie Institute. Log gerhead Key, the island where he carried on his investigations, is eight hours by steamer from Key West, and mail comes only once every two weeks. Dr. Wilson, when he arrived in Chap el Hill, had not heard a word of the plait of his son-in-law, Thorndike Saville, to spend a year In South America in the sanitary engineering service of the governments of Brazil and Venezuela. The Carnegie laboratories, on Loggerhead Key, are one-story frame buildings, which, when one first sees them, would seem to be unbearably hot places in which to work. But each one of them is so constructed, with ventilators in the steep-sloping roof, and with shutters hung like awnings over the windows in the section devoted to living quarters, that the scientists live in comfort. On one of the keys of the Tor tugas, not far from Loggerhead, is a great tropical bird preserve. Dr. Wilson’s boat steamed by close to it but did not stop. The key has only one inhabitant, a man who lives there through out the year as the companion and caretaker of the millions of birds. Zeb Council Moves Hitt Old Place Torn Down, He Comes to Middle of Town Zeb Council has moved from the campus down to the main street. Officially the moving of the University Printery may be the important thing, but as far as the people of the town are concerned the coming of Mr. Council to the center of village activity is of more consequence. He has lived here 12 years and is known to everybody in town. The Printery, which had to leave its old building because this was torn down to make way for the Phillips Hall extension, is well established in the back of the former Strowd garage building. Its entrance is on the alley only a few steps from the street. Mr. Council has had long ex* perience as a printer. He is one of the three men who start ed the Durham Herald. After he sold out his interest in that he ran a semi-weekly paper for several years. He became nanager of the University Print ery in 1913. Joint Church Services The Episcopal and Presby terian congregations have a greed to hold joint services for the six Sundays, July 26 to August 30. Services will be conducted in the Episcopal church by Rev. A. S. Lawrence July 26, August 2, and August 9; and in the Presbyterian church August 16, August .23, and August 30. If Rev. W. D. Moss is not here one of his brother ministers in a neigh boring town will occupy the Presbyterian pulpit. The joint services on these six Sundays will be held only in the morning; there wilLbe none at night. Griffin, Cave Explorer Peoples Bank Cashier Saw Wonder of Nature in Virginia Mountains

C. B. Griffin, cashier of the Peoples Bank, got back early this week from his autcynobile trip to the Blue Ridge mountains lin northwestern Virginia. His companion was his nine-year-old j nephew, James Patterson. They were gone about a week. Mr. Griffin’s principal activi ty while he was gone was ex ploring the celebrated caves near Luray. “This is about the most beautiful sight I have ever! seen,” he says. “The place is! illuminated by electricity and has concrete walks. The stal- actites that hung from the roof, reflecting the light rays, are dazzling in their brilliance.” Mr. Griffin drove his Buick up the Shenandoah valley, and he found the roads superb. He went 230 miles to Staunton, Virginia, the first day, and the next morning he made the rest of the distance to the Cave. Here he joined some friends from Pennsylvania who had a i complete camping outfit and the party established itself on the 'camping ground at the mouth of the Cave. Mr. Griffin did a great deal of swimming and mountain climbing. To Issue Capart’s Book i University Press Will Publish Lec tures of the Distinguished Belgian i In consequence of negotia tions between Wallace E. Cald well, professor of ancient his tory in the University, and the Belgian Relief Commission’s educational foundation, the lec tures on Egypt delivered last year by Jean Capart, the cele t brated Belgian scholar, will be published by the University of North Carolina Press, The Com mission has voted a generous subsidy which makes it possible for the Press to bring out the book. The volume will have some such title as “Aspects of Egyp- I tian Art” and will probably ap pear toward the end of next winter. It will be beautifully illustrated with about 50 photo graphs chosen from the more than 200 which the author took during his visits in Egypt and which he has sent to Mr. Cald well. The first delivery of the lec tures was made in Chapel Hill when Mr. Capart came here last fall, some of them to the public and some before the classes in history. Two or three were repeated at other in stitutions in North Carolina. The Belgian scholar is a pro fessor in the University of Liege and is the director of the Egyp tian department of the Royal Museum in Brussels. His tour of America was made under the auspices of the Belgian Relief Commission, whose funds, left over from the war, are now used for education in Belgium and for the encouragement of schol arly relations between Belgium and America. He came to the University of North Carolina first because of the invitation from Mr. Caldwell, who not only studied under him but had be come a close friend of him and his family.

Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Dey, ac companied by Mrs. Dey’s sister and niece, leave by automobile for Norfolk today. Meeting Old-timers One of the agreeable features of a journey such as the one that Mr. Odum and I made to Dayton, Tennessee, is running across old friends. And the dweller in Chapel Hill is apt to be more than usually fortunate 1 in this, when he goes a-traveling, because almost every town of i any size, within a thousand miles’ radius, has its University alumni.

Stopping at Knoxville on the! way home, I saw Dr. Eben i I Alexander, the brother of Mrs. j !A. H. Patterson. He is a promi- j nept surgeon there. We grew up together here in Chapel Hill, where his father was professor of Greek and mine was profes sor of mathematics in the Uni i versity. In the old days Eben w*as exceedingly fond of cock fighting, and the other day I asked him if he was still inter ested in it.

He is now an elder in the church and it would not be seem ly for him to indulge in this sport. But, as proof that the pastime of his youth is still held in affectionate memory, the large flock of chickens, at his home on the outskirts of the city, includes a few high-blooded gamecocks. He likes to look at them and admire their points even though his position of dig nity and his matured conscience prohibit him from letting them have it out in the arena. When he showed them to me he was sighing for the dear, dead days. But maybe that was a bluff for the benefit of me who might betray him in print—maybe he slips out sometimes at night, with his cronies, and has his fun? 1 don’t know. I didn’t question him too closely.

Os all bundles of nervous energy I ever saw, Eben is the beatin’est. I remembered him as such, and he has not changed. Doesn’t he ever quit working? I asked his wife. No. From performing an operation he rushes home to dig in the gar den. Off again to make calls on patients, and then back a gain to tinker with the automo biles or patch the roof or repair the broken drain pipe.

Hill Makes a Suggestion DISTANCE CAN BE SAVED Again the project for a short er road from Chapel Hill to Ra leigh is being agitated. A prominent citizen of Ra leigh sent a letter, a few days ago, to Mayor W. S. Roberson, proposing that the people of both communities bestir them selves to put the road through. John Sprunt Hill, the highway commissioner for this district, has been consulted, and he gives some encouragement. A look at the map shows Chapel Hill, Durham, and Ra leigh as the three points of a triangle. As it is now, the traveler from here to the capi tal goes through Durham and makes the entire trip on pave ment. The distance is 38 miles. If he could follow the course of what is known as the “old Ra leigh road”—which joins the central highway at Morrisville —he would go 28 miles instead of 38. But this “old Raleigh road" is impassable. The ideal solution would be the construction of a modern road along the old route. But for some time to come this is apt to be impracticable. The j state highway commission, in i view of the urgent demand for i roads elsewhere in North Caro lina, does not look favorably upon the suggestion that this plan be financed out of the state highway funds. The* route from here to Mor risville passes through four counties: Orange, Durham, Chatham, and Wake. It would be difficult to get the boards of commissioners'of the four coun ties to join together in paying for the road. John Sprunt Hill suggested to Mayor Roberson, the other day, another solution. This was that the Durham county com missioners he asked to build a good soil road from Nelson (on the central highway) westward through Lowe’s Grove across the south end of Durham county, to meet a road to be built by the (Continued on page two)

Now ‘'lie read, it a despatch from jjynaon. the declaration by Dr. **Leonard Hill, a member of the British Institute of Medical Re search. that tight collars are harmful to health. This is only a little step in the direction of dress reform; but every little helps, and we are grateful to the eminent doctor for starting a war on the light collar. Ourself, we abandoned stiff collars long ago and intend never to wear them again except when our presence at an eve ning wedding or some other for mal gathering compels us to submit to this atrocity. Dr. Hill says that women, wearing low-necked blouses, short skirts, and thin stockings, are clad more healthfully than men. And in this case health and comfort go together. As far as summertime clothing is concerned, it must be apparent to anybody who has given the subject a moment’s thought that fashion has been less kind to man than to woman. In our recent lamentation a bout masculine attire in sum mer we made the point that the male inhabitants of this semi tropical region, the southeastern comer of the United States, were following, but for slight modifications, a style set in northern Europe scores of years ago, and that between winter and summer garments there was not nearly so much difference as the difference in temperature demanded. The great obstacle in the way of the highly to be- desired change in style is, of course, the enslaving effect of custom and convention. No body wants to make himself conspicuous, no matter how firm his conviction that the es tablished way is the way of folly. Consider our own situa tion, for example. We think well of pajamas as a street cos tume in summer; but are we going to walk uptown, thus clad, and walk into the drugstore and order the drinks? Not on your life. Quite aside from the dan ger that Mayor Roberson might order Town Manager Knox to order Chief Featherstone to or der Policeman Williams to ar rest us, we have no wish to face the interrogations and the ri baldry of the populace. The other day we received a message from Raleigh that our plea for dress reform had gained favor in high quarters. Benja min R. Lacy, treasurer of the State of North Carolina, declar ed—and we have this on what the political correspondents call “unimpeachable authority” that, if we would come to the capital and make ready to issue from the Sir Walter hotel in pajamas, he would join us at the door, similarly attired, and we would, the two of us, walk up Fayetteville street to Capitol Square. Who lenows but that such a demonstration might set the ball rolling? We are tempted to ac cept the proposal. Yet. even with the thought of it. we begin to feel the courage oozing forth. Mr. Lacy, being a man of in fluence. would hardly be molest ed. But bow about us. a strang er and obscure? The police would probably run us in. and before we knew what was hap pening we might be enjoying the hospitality of George Ross Poo in his official capacity. No. there ought to be more than two demonstrators, if the public is to be first impressed and then converted. I recall that twenty-fve and more years ago some of the most fastidious dressers in the Uni versity came from Raleigh. Per haps some of these might be prevailed upon to join in the pa rade. If we cduld persuade John and Graham Andrews, and Albert Cox. and Aldert Root, and Hubert Haywood, and Hal Worth, and Henry Turner—l mention just a few who come to mind—if we could persuade these and others of good repute in the community to join in the enterprise, we might carry through the revolution. Short Road to Raleigh iC'/Mmued O'/m sue 'jm) Orange commissioners from Chapel Hill to the Orange-Dur ham line. .Such a road would not cut off as much of the distance as would the opening of the old route to Morrisville, but it would make Raleigh considerably closer to Chapel Hill than it now is Prob ably the saving would be 7 or 8 miles instead of 10. At any rate, the passage through Dur ham, where the crowded traffic causes most of the loss in time, would be eliminated. People who live in southeast ern Orange are anxious to have some way to reach Chapel Hill. Under present conditions they are cut off from the town as ef fectually as though a great wall or an unbridged river lay in the path. A shorter route from Ra leigh to Chapel Hill would not only make travel easier between these two towns, hut it would also benefit through travelers between Raleigh and Greens boro. For, the route Raleigh- j Chapel Hill-Graham-Greensboro •s several miles shorter than *he route Raleigh-Durham- Graham-Greensboro. In bad weather, of course, people would j choose the longer hard-surface route in preference to the short er soil-road route. But, with the steady increase in the densi ty of traffic on the central highway, the highway commis sion might find it advisable la ter on, to improve, even to the extent of hard-surfacing, the more direct road.

THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY c ßandom Shots IT HALIFAX LOSES During the Scopes trial in Tennessee I intended, but forgot, to reprint all or part of Lang don Smith's poem. “Evolution.” Lar.gdon Smith, about thirty years ago. w &s celebrated as one of the cleverest newspaper writ ers in New York, but his regu lar work for the press, year af ter year, did not bring him a hundredth part of the fame that came to him by reason of these verses. They have been re published again and again, all over the English-speaking world. 0 9 9 I have been told by scientists that Smith’s version of geologi cal and faunal change is far from strictly accurate, but of course, in such a romance, that is not important. 9 9 9 v vTh% first stanza is: When you were a Tadpole and I was a Fish, In the Paleozoic time. And side by side on the ebbing tide We sprawled through the ooze and slime. Or skittered with many a cau dal flip Through the depths of the Cambrian fen. My heart was rife with the joy of life— For I loved you even then.

He brings the lovers down through the ages. “Mindless we lived and mindless we loved”— and later: “We were amphibians, scaled and tailed, and drab as a dead man’s hand.” I will quote here only a few of the verses.

Then light and swift through the jungle trees We swung in our airy flights, Or breathed in the balm of the fronded palm In the hush of those moonless nights. And, oh! what beautiful years were these When our hearts clung each U) each, When life was filled and the 1 senses thrilled In the first faint dawn of speech.

At last “the shadows broke and the soul awoke in a strange dim dream of God.”

I was thewed like an Auroch hull And tusked like the great Cave Bear, And you, my sweet, from head to feet, Were clothed in your glorious hair; Deep in the gloom of a fireless cave, When night fell o’er the plain, And the moon hung red o’er the river bed We mumbled the bones of the slain.

They had a great feast: Loud I howled through the moonlit wastes, Loud answered our kith and kin; From west to east to the crimson feast The clan came trooping in. O’er joint and gristle and padded hoof We fought and clawed and tore, And cheek by jowl with many a growl We talked the marvel o’er,

The last twenty lines are: Our trail is on the Kimmeridge clay, And the scarp of the Pure beck flags, We have left our bones in the Safrshot stones, And deep in the Coraline crags; Our love is old, our lives are old. And death shall come amain. Should it come today what men shall say We shall not live again? God wrought our souls from the Tremadoc beds And furnished them wings to fly. He sowed our spawn in the world's dim dawn. And I know that it shall not die. Though cities have sprung a bove the graves Where the crook-boned men made war. And the ox-wain creaks o’er the buried caves Where the mummied mam moths are. Then, as we sit at luncheon here. O’er many a dainty dish. Let us drink anew to the time when you Were a Tadpole and I was a Fish. Jordan Family Reunion Mr. 'and Mrs. W. P.

Miss Carolyn Winston has come back from Brevard where she has been the guest of Miss Dorothy Fetzer. Mrs. Josephine Daniel Moore 0 is expected Saturday to spend Would You Like to Help in a Case Like This? A Chapel Hill man, who served as a soldier in the World War, was suddenly stricken about three months ago. The trouble was with his eyes. They gave way, and he had to quit work.

This man was poor. Two weeks off his job, and all his money was gone. His friends helped him some, but in a few days more he was at the end of his rope. He was not a member of the American Legion, but he had heard of the Legion’s efforts on behalf of former soldiers. So he appealed to the Chapel Hill post. There was no time to be wasted in unwinding red tape—no time for committee meetings and such other formalities. “We’ll take you right over to Durham to a special ist and then we’ll put you in a hospital,” the post officers told the man. And they did—the same day. An operation was performed on the man’s eyes, and he stayed in the hospital, under constant treatment, for seven weeks. Now he has come home, and the doc tors think his eyes are saved. When the Chapel Hill post of the Legion agreed to stand responsible for this mail’s hospital bill, it did not have in its treasury any money for such relief. But the important thing was to get the man under the care of a physician—quick. The ways and means of raising the money would have to be discussed later. two weeks with her mother, Mrs. M. W. Daniel. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Har wood of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, came Wednesday to visit the Braunes. Miss Alma Holland has re turned from a visit to her home near Fayetteville. Mrs. A. S. Barbee is with her sister in Enfield. Mr. and Mrs. R. P. McClam roch have bought two of the Forest Hills lots during the last week and the Burton Linkers have bought one. Percy Hogan Here Former Chapel Hillian, on Vacation Tour in Automobile, Passes Through Percy Hogan, native Chapel Hillian and University alumnus, now a resident of Kingsport, Tennessee, came in by automo bile Sunday and stayed until Monday afternoon. He was ac companied by his friend, Tom Pratt, owner and editor of the daily newspaper in Kingsport. Mr. Hogan and Mr. Pratt are ardent stamp-collectors. In the last year or so they have con centrated upon Confederate stamps. By accident they ac quired jointly, a few months ago, two Confederate stamps which they sold for enough money to defray the expenses of a two-weeks vacation. “That’s how we happen to be here now,” said Mr. Hogan to one of his old friends upon whom he called Sunday afternoon. They set out northward from Kingsport in Mr. Pratt’s car and traveled by Bristol, Roan oke, and Lynchburg to Rich mond. Turning south, they drove to Warrenton in this state and thence.to Ocracoke down on the coast. From there they struck THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY for Tennessee byway of Chapel Hill. From catalogues and philate list periodicals they knew of stamp-collectors all over the country, and everywhere they stopped they held confabs with collectors and engaged in swap ping, buying, and selling. Just before they left Chapel Hill they visited the office of the Weekly and arranged for the insertion of an advertisement notifying all and sundry that they were in ‘he market for rare stamps. Gift to Mrs. R. L. Hoke The young women who lived in “F” dormitory during the first session of the Summer School presented a silver cas serole to the matron, Mrs. R. L. Hoke, last week. “Mrs. Hoke,” said the spokeswoman at the presentation, “has been more than a matron to us. Her advice was sought on many subjects, and she respond ed with interest. Her spirit of cheer and helpfulness won her a warm place in the hearts of all of us.” L. R. Wilson Is Back Home L. R. Wilson, University li brarian, returned home last week from Haverford College, near Philadelphia, where he had been visiting his brother. His daughter, Elizabeth, who was at school in the North, came back with him. Mr. Wilson, who was in a run-down condition during the last two or three months of the college year, looks strong and healthy after his vacation. TURN ATTIC TRASH TO CASH: I collect old postage stamps used be fore 1880. You keep the letters, I take the envelopes. Free booklet, Thomas H. I’ratt, Kingsport, Tenn. This is only one of many instances in which the post has given aid to former soldiers, or their families, who were in distress. There are cases which Govern ment aid, hedged about by various legal provisions, does not reach. And there are people in distress who, if they had to wait for all the formalities to be complied with, would be dead before any relief ever came. The Chapel Hill post of the American Legion Seeks to act With the kindness and promptness of a good neighbor. Its helpfulness will be greatly increased if all ex-service men will become members, and if other citizens will make contributions—large or small, accord ing to their ability. This advertisement was contributed by a citizen of Chapel Hill. There are no paid officers in the Ameri can Legion post, and the “office expense” connected with relief work is practically nothing. This means that when anybody contributes he can be sure that his money goes, without deductions, into actual relief. Contribu

tions will be applied to special cases, according to in structions, or may be put in the post treasury for such use as the officers determine. They should be sent either to the post commander, CHARLES E. GOOCH, or the treasurer, Dr. D. T. CARR. NOTICE OF SALE Notice is hereby given that E. A. Brown, trading as E. A.

So they were on fcis trail a gain. Day after day they camp ed. as it were, on his door-step. They expounded, they eulogized, they oerrjonstrated. He listened, sympathetically, patiently, to scores of impressive lectures on valves, and carburetors, and transmissions, and batteries, and brakes, and all the other ele ments in a motor car's anatomy. At night, when he left wake fulness behind and entered the misty realm of half-conscious ness that lies on the hither edge of slumber, his thoughts ran somewhat as follows. “The valve-shift of the Stude baker is splendid, but does it outweigh the advantage of the Buick's automatic revolving car buretor? Then there are the incomparable six-wheel brakes of the Dodge, and the self-oiling Fisher body of the Essex. But how can I get along without the Hudson's six cylinder tail p THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY lights? The new model of the ...rt* Buick has one speed backward, two speeds forward, and three .speeds sideways, but the Dodge is to bring out next week with an air-cooled; invisible steering-wheel. The jstudebak er's rear axle is finished in the finest mahogany with arm rests and cigar-lighter, but the Willys-Knight batteries are charged with velour made of the best grade of Chinese silk. The Packard's eighty-horse-cylinder noiseless gasoline tank—" But here the architect groaned lightly and sank off to sleep. And then one day came the Nash agent. From the first he wore a confident smile. He had asked himself what’s in a name?, and to his own question he had made answer: a sale, if you work it right. The Nash of the automobile is no kin, as far as anybody knows, of Nash the ar chitect. But. ah! the magic of a name. The power of sugges tion—ask any hypnotist or pro fessor of psychology'. The a gent set the thought-waves bounding through the summer air—he worked mental telepa thy to the limit. In a short time he had his victim helpless in his toils. And so, A. C. Nash is now riding about Chapel Hill in a Nash coach. Meeting Old-Timers I (C'/ntinuei jr'ym pape rmt) or rushing off to matings of the Rotary and other civic or professional organizations. Up at daybreak in the morning to 'eed the chickens and perhaps 'Uperintend the milking of the 1 cows. Thus, day after day.

Once a year he goes off for a bear hunt in the mountains of east Tennessee. He told me that he had been at this 13 years and had never got a shot i at a bear yet. His fellow hunts 'x-n have tried to give him the best location whenever a bear is about t/y be flushed, but, every the bear goes the other way and somebody else in the party gets him.

Coming through the town of Marshall, in the valley of the French Broad a few miles this side of Tennessee, I halted long i enough to drop in at the office of my classmate, Guy Roberts. His length of more than six feet is the same as when we did our classday exercises around the Davie Poplar in 1902, but his ‘girth is considerably greater. He told me of having gone to England last summer with the several hundred other American lawyers who were guests of the British bar. When I expressed regret that I could not see him in the high hat and cutaway coat that he had worn at the King’s garden party, he said these ornaments were packed a way and would probably 'never be used again.

From the street in front of the courthouse he pointed in what seemed to be the direction of the sky and told me that, was where he lived. His home is on one of the mountains that rises from the river valley. From the porch you can very nearly throw a stone down upon the courthouse roof. It looked to me as if the stone would have to fall about a mile before it hit anything. It might be con venient for Guy, when he goes downtown to work in the morn ing, to descend in a parachute. I! At Asheville, at the home of and Mrs. Lawrence Holt, I was much interested in a letter, which Mrs. Holt had recently i added to her collection. It was written in 1818 by Mrs. Thrale, became celebrated through her long association with Doctor Johnson. The writing'on the four pages was regular, and all of it easily legible. A quaint document.

In Lawrence Holt’s library is a bound set, complete, of the in stallments as they originally appeared on the news-stands in London, of H. G. Wells’ “Out line of History.” The publica- j tion of books in this fashion is not practiced in America. Each I installment is a sort of maga- i zine in itself and has somewhat the aspect of a “penny dread- j ful”—with a brilliantly colored cover and with several pages of advertisements. It is of about the size of the Literary Digest, but is far more lurid in appear- j ance. The Welfare Institute The sixth public welfare in- stitute, for th* training of so- i cial workers, held in Chapel Hill under the joint direction i of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare and the Uni versity’s school of public wel fare, closes its two weeks session" today. Courses have been given by R. R. Reeder, E. C. Branson, and Roy M. Brown. Miss Lily Mitchell, who is working under the Rockefeller Foundation, gave a series of talks on “The Art of Helping People out of Trouble.” Dr. Branson’s lectures dealt j mainly with excessive farm ten- ancy, country depletion, and il- j literacy. Dr. Reeder’s topic was child-training, and Mr. Brown’s course was entitled “Social Law i in North Carolina.” Howard W. Odum delivered a I talk about common-sense in so cial work. There was a round table discussion of record-keep ing, led by S. E. Leonard; of mother’s aid, led by Miss Emeth Tuttle; of prisons and county home problems, led by Roy M. Brown. Friday afternoon of last week a swimming picnic was given to the members of the in* stitute by Dr. Odum and his as sociates in the school of public welfare. Lieutenant Oxley, director of the Bureau of Work among the Negroes, of the State Board, spoke to the institute on “The Part of the Negro in the Welfare Program.” Grahams in Chapel Hill Alexander H. Graham of Hillsboro, Orange county’s rep-! resentative in the legislature, j was in Chapel Hill Tuesday with 1 Mrs. Graham and Sandy, Jr. In the evening Mr. Graham came over again, this time accom panied by Mr. Owen Robertson, to attend the American Legion barbecue.
