MEMBERS FIND
CHURCH ADS
NEEDED
Movement for Proper Publicity
Winning Many Who Long
Opposed Such a Plan.
By BESSIE p. MARSH.

In every church body there are
men who are awake to the fact
that the church is in serious need
of greater public support. They see
signs of lack Of interest and ale
glance, and they know something
is needed to revive and start afresh
the interest that formerly flourished
SO promisihgly.
Will they admit to themselves and
to their fellow church members that
the one thing to help that lull is
the proper kind of advertising?
The sooner the church is aroused
to such a recognition and sets about
thinking the best way out, so much
are hundreds of churches in such a
predicament.
All over the country there are
movements afoot for q more con
structive sort Of publicity regarding
church activities. 1t is slowly find
ing its way into the minds of min.
listers who have so long opposed
advertising, and into the minds OF
the church membership.
Many Kinds Of Ads.
There are several kinds of adver
tising-good and bad, sensational
and cheapening, constructive and up
lifting. The great question is, what
kind Of advertising Is constructive
and uplifting? That is to be decided
through careful study of the re.
suits of the many kinds of adver.
Using and the needs Of each par
ticular church.
One thing remains a fact: con
slant advertising has increased
congregations do not say that
constant advertising in the news
papers alone has increased congrega
tions, but it has helped Take
church where the sermons OF
the pastor have been "radioed" by
the congregation to the extent OF
arousing a desire on the paAt oi
other people to hear the sermons
of that pastor. That is good ad
vertising. Here the newspaper
plays an important part in that
it acts as a broadcaster, and one
of the best ones the churches
| could possibly find. One paper
caster.
Minister Convinced.
In an article by Charles A. Sci
den, he quoted the Rev. Charles
f. jefferson, of the Broadway
Tabernacle, the largest Congrega
tional Church in New York, al
| having said, "As grow older
1 find myself, more tolerant Of
those who are beginning to be
lieve that the cause of the church
and religious would be bNsefited by
advertising.
For many years / loathed the
idea of advertising. / am afrait
you'll find me a hopeless reaction
airy or the subject. But now
am inclined to think that if tbs
right way could be found it should
be adopted where something Of
that sort is needed. But it never
must be a cheap or sensational
way"
DR.. jefferson is beginning t.
realize that his doctrines should
reach more people than those al
present attending his church. Sc
it is with every minister. Should
they not want their sermons t
reach and touch many? Such are
The uses of newspapers.
There will be time when
pastors will not hesitate to sent
their sermons to the newspapers
when they will not hesitate to ad
vertise the fact that at such anc
such a time, such and such a ser
mon will be preached and that Il
will be deeply interesting.
There is just as good reason
for a minister to do this as fol
movie theaters or baseball parks
to advertise their attractions.

Operate in Fosters Show Window, to
Delight of Passers-by

The most ingenious shop window
exhibition ever seen in Chapel
Hill Vas put on by Fosters Art
Store during several days of this
and last week. 1t was a fishing
scene in which cork -bobbed up
and down at the apparent insti-
cation of a trout. The cork was
operated by an unseen mechanism
devised by the proprietor of the
store, r. w. Foister. Two boys,
Frederick Patterson and Edward
Graham, were shown in life size,
Freddie welding the hook and
line as Edward trained a kodak
OH him. The stream and the messy
banks and the stones were remark
ably faithful representations of
the real things.
The two boys, much pleased by
the adventure, had gone out into
the woods with Mr.. Foister, and
he had posed them carefully and
photographed them. Then he
made enlargements and fitted these
into the scene so that one might
almost take them for flesh and
blood. The display attracted
crowds Of passers-by, who stopped
and gazed until their fingers fair
ly itched to handle camera and
fishing tackle-the stimulation of
which longing was of course the
object of the show. Among the
most enthralled of the spectators

given by the. children of the
Orangf ; County Draining School
at the colored Baptist church last
night wednesday,. There were
a actors, all trained by B. l..
BOzeman, principal of the school.
The performance called, "sea-
sonal sequence dialogue, was a
credit to the colored population of
the town. The characters werd
skilfully costumed to represent the
seasons and the various Plants,
and in their speeches they told of
the best methods of cultivation,
and how crops should be rotated
Since the destruction of their
building by fire, the colored chill
dren of the training school have

MR.. PATTEN IS BACK In TOWN
COnsulted Architect About Basement
e. AAzALl.sA CLsss..A.-L

Rev. Walter Patten is back from
his trip to New York to confer
with the architect, James Gamble
Rogers, about details in the plan
Of the new Methodist church.
Mr.. Patten and other members
Of the budding committee had
thought that it might be best to
have a basement, to provide for
certain church activities, and this
was one of the main subjects of
the conversation between the min
ister and the architect. Mr..
Rogers advised strongly against it,
however. He said that it was not
in keeping with the Colonial style
Of the structure. Among other OBJ
jectiOns, it would make the
columns seem out of proportion.
Changes will be made in the in
terror of the first and second
stories to make up for the lack of
basement.

NAH JONCC WILL STRIKE TOWN
Miss Curtis Henderson Likely to In.
troduce Chinese Game ~--.

Nah Jongg is threatening to in
wade Chapel Hill.
Nah Jongg is not a laundry
man, nor strange disease, nor
yet foreign student drawn here
by the fame of North Carolina in
the Orient.
1t is a game, indigenous to
China, which has lately become a
craze in various parts of the
world.
Miss Curtis Henderson, nov
visiting in Japan, has written her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Archibald
Henderson, of playing it at the
home Of the American Ambassa-
dor. And she says she is thinking
Of bringing the implements of the
sport home with her. The news
was first accepted with equanimity
and some pleasurable anticipation,
but it is said Mr.. Henderson lost
part of his enthusiasm when some
body told him the outfit cost $3.50.
This was later declared to be a
false alarm.
Extreme vagueness marks
Chapel Hills ideas about how this
game is played. Some say with
ivory counters, some say with ex-
quisitely carved artificial flowers.
This dearth of knowledge makes
the curiosity all the more keen,
and Miss Curtis s acquaintance
will be. bitterly disappointed If she
doesn't bring Nah Jongg with her.

SOUR CREAM SOLD
FOR The FARMERS
Collection is Improved; Product,
Sent to Burlington, is X
Promptly Paid For
BUTTER FAT 45CTS. A POUND

The marketing of sour cream fol
the farmers in this end of Orange
county is being improved this
week. The collection routes are
being extended, and anybody who
has sour cream can have it collect
ed, weighed, and sold if he will
notify R. P. Harris of the Chapel
Hill school.
Farms around Chapel Hill have
taken in a total of $3.50 in one
month from this product, and the
better collection system now going
into effect will probably raise the
sales to $500 a month.
After the sour cream is taker
to the school, by the man who goes
around and gets 1t from the
farmers, it is weighed by Mr.. Has
ris and his assistants, and then il
is shipped to the creamery in Bur
lington. 1t brings As cents pei
pound of butter fat, and nearly
half of the cream isabutter fat. The
farmers get their payment prompt
ly. ,----
F. M. Oldham, out on the edge
of Chatham county, has averaged
from 81 to SO a month per COW
from the sale of butter fat, Mrs
Arthur Hogan of the Calavandel
section about 81, and S. G. Wilson
of the Damascus section better
than $40. The skinned milk il
still left for whatever use they
wish to put it tO-such as feeding
hogs and chickens-and the reve
nue. from this is sometimes equa
to that~from the cream.
Some dairymen who dispose OF
the main part of their output IL
the form of fresh milk and cream
use the surplus to produce soul
cream, and sell that with good re
suits.

"The roads were in reparkably
good condition most of the way.
Between, Fredericksburg and
Richmond, following a new route,
we had to ford two streams but
the water came up only to the hubs
and we made the crossings with

road was south of Petersburg, in
the neighborhod of Snow Hill. The
going was much better after we
got into, North Carolina, and we
did the last lap of the journey on

usual experience of finding some

Students Gone Away, Business and
Building Lag. Things Liven-
ing up Again :
NOT MANY UNIVERSITY EVENTS

Chapel Hill is not quite a de.
serted village this week, but both
town and campus have a decidedly
lonely aspect. The Easter holidays
are on, and most of the students
went away Saturday for a few
days at home. The business com.
munity took the cue from the Uni.
versity. The banks and many OF
the stores were closed Easter Mon.
day, and in the two, days since
then commerce has been below nor
NAL.
Building slowed up along with
everything else. Brodie Thompson
one of the town s most active con.
tractors, was basking in the sun in
front Of the Bank of Chapel Hill
Monday morning, enjoying an en-.
forced holiday.
"You can't get men to work to.
day" he said.
"Everybody's taking a rest.
And when operations we're reSum
ed Tuesday there was evident some
of the lethargy that is always left
over from a holiday.
Several members of the faculty
have gone away for three or four
days, and others are taking advan
tage of the recess to go to Durham
and Raleigh to play golf.
The place place li7FeefHfs liVFeefHss up as the fast
half of the week comes. The stu
dents who are interestd in dancing
began to drift back to town yester
day. The first of the dances took
place in the gymnasium last night
Wednesday,. There will be three
today - morning, afternoon, anC
evening. The last of the series
comes when the German Club gives
its big dance tomorrow night. New
som P. Battle is the leader, with
Cornelius M. Vanstory and Edgar
Engstrum as assistant leaders.
In the way of University events
there seem to be fewer offerings
than usual scheduled for the next
fortnight. DR.. G. f. Malaby, an
authority on drugs, will give foul
lectures next week under the aus
pices Of the University of North
Carolina branch of the American
Pharmaceutical Association. He
will talk at II 40 A. M. Thursday

Friday, April 13, his subject al

and Vaccination" and at hall
past seven in the evening "Pio
neers in Medicine. 3" The students
of the medical school are to at

new HOME COLONY
BY RALEIGH ROAD
Order Of GimghOuIs is to Divide
Into Lots and SeA Part Of
Big Track
PLOT Is RESERVED FOR LODGE

Yet another residential colony
for Chapel Hill. The Order of
Gimghouls, junior society in the
University, is going to divide into
lots and sell part of its tract of "a
acres on the east side of Battle s
Park. The order is to retain sew
erat acres, including the historic
Plney Prospect, for the new lodge
that it expects to build about a
year hence.
he part of the tract to be cut
up into building lots which are to
range in size from half an acre
to an acre and half, is on the
left side of the Raleigh road as one
leaves town, beyond the cemetery.
1t is near the place where the we'll
known Judge" Brockwell lived
until a year or so ago when he sold
out to the University and moved
into new home across the road
to the south. ....,r-.. H..
About thirty lots, altogether,
will be sold. The order says that
it will sell them at reasonable
prices, not seeking to get out of
them "all the traffic will bear"
Its main object, financially, is to
get enOugh to pay for it's new
home. A considerable part of the
pr0pertY-35 Acres to be exact
is to be turned over to the Uni
verSity as an addition to Battles
Park. The University is to trans
fer to the order about seven acres
to wipe out certain salients and
give more convenient boundary
lines to the acreage that is to be
converted into lots.
A tentative agreement as to the
exchange has been arrived at by
committees representing the Gin
ghouls and the University trustees
but it will not become a legal fact
until the trustees of the University
and the trustees of the order have
met and passed upon it. A con-
vention of the Gimghouls at COM
mencement, moreover, will be call,
ed upon to endorse the whole pro-
ject before any lots are actually
sold. Thus there will not be any
sale to the public until summer.
The whole development will be
carried through with expert engi-
neering, architectural, and land
Scapc gardening advice. The plant
ing of shrubs and flowers is an i'm
Iportant feature of the plan. George
Stephens of Asheville is chairman
of the orders committee on the
new lodge, and he has brought to
bear upon the project the kn0wl-
edge gained from long experience
in suburban development
Two avenues are to wind
through the property, and the lots
will face upon these as we'll as
upon the Raleigh road. One of
! the two avenues. following the
course Of the old woods road by
the former BrOckwelf house, will
lead to the site at Piney Prospect
selected for the lodge, overlooking
the great valley to the east.

band seven years ago when it had
