CO-Ordinated Service
Means Dependable Service

The residents of every community must have transporta-
ton service.
They must have service that is dependable; that meets
their needs all day and every day, in the rush hours as
well as in the non-rush hours.
They want such service for as low a cost as it can be fur
nished.
Without street cars adequate transportation cannot be
provided in New Jersey. That fact has been proved be-
You'd a doubt.
Street cars, therefore, are essential to public convenience
and street cars supplemented where necessary by buses,
furnishing Co ordinated service as a transportation unit
under one management, with proper State and munich
pal supervision, will provide all the people with the most
satisfactory service at the lowest cost.

"Wanted, Pitcher" Is Cry
of Chapel Hill High School
Two Twirlers of Last Year Are Walker White Seems

WANTED-A pitcher. That is the an
guished cry that arises from the Chapel
Hill high school as the baseball season
approaches.
Roberts and Poythress were the twirl-
ers last year, but they have gone.
Walker White seems the most likely
candidate for the mound at present. He
will train hard, and maybe Principal
Fred Morrison will get some of the
varsity pitchers to give him pointers.

CARRBORO TO HAVE
A BEAUTY PARLOR
Mrs. Parker Took Correspondence
Course and Has Equipment
Ready
new BOON FOR CHAPEL HILL

Carrboro is going to have a
beauty parlor. In this it gets
ahead of Chapel Hill. The drug
stores here sell all sorts Of pow
ders, lotions and pastes, for appli-
cation at home by the purchaser
thereof, but no expert has set up
a shop and invited people to come
in and get their faces smoothed
down. If the Chapel Hill maid or
matron wants to produce a blush,
or a poetic paleness, she has to do
it all. herself.
Mrs. w. H. Parker is the Carr
boro citizen who has become a
beauty specialist. She became in
terested in the matter some time
ago, investigated the ways and
means Of learning the tricks of the
trade, and then embarked upon a
correspondence course. Perhaps
she practiced on her friends, per-
haps on herself and her family
that is not disclosed. Anyway, her
neighbors say she soon began to
reveal decided proficiency in the
art of improving personal appear
ance.
She has already got her equip
ment. AT first she will carry on
the new occupation in her resi-
dence, but if patronage grows may
be she will set up separate shop.
She is going to give clay packs,
facial massage, shampoos, and all
the other treatments regarded as
part of the days work in a modern
beauty parlor
The Carrboro institution in
which Chapel Hill folk have dis
played most interest up to this
time is Joseph Sparrow swim

ment of Mrs. Parker's rival it as
an attraction9 The coming months
will tell. In warm weather auto
mobiles stream out from the Uni
verSity town to the pool. Maybe

will form a convenient combina-
tion-a cool swim first, then a

by the deft fingers of Mrs. Parker.

LINDSAY GOT $l5,5OO;;
ASKS FOR $26,5OO MORE
UNIVERSITY ANSWERS NO
Amount Claimed is Three Times Listed
Tax Valuation Of Property Now
Alleged to be Damaged
One SETTLEMENT WAS MADE

An answer has been filed by the
University to G. L. Lindsay's claim
for $26,50O for alleged damage to
the property, which stands in the
name of his wife, running from
Cameron avenue back to the rail
way spur connecting the Carrboro.
terminus with rear of the campus.
Mr.. Lindsay is one of the wealth
lest citizens of Chapel Hill. He
is reputed to be worth well over
100000, some say as much as
$3oo,0OO.. -
The tax records Of the town of
Chapel Hill show that the amount
he is asking damages is more than
three times the valuation at which
he lists the entire property for
purposes of taxation, this listed
valuation being $4,000.
When the spur was projected
nearly two years ago condemnation
proceedings were instituted As
the case was about to go to trial a
settlement was reached. 1t is stated
i'll the. judgment of the court, dated
August, 1921, that $15, 500 was
TO be paid for the right gat ef ef Hssy
and for two plots of land adjacent
thereto purchased from him as
part of the settlement. At that
time the listed valuation of all the
Lindsay real estate in Chapel Hill,
which included plot on the buSi5
est stretch of the main street, was
$10,920 1t is known that the main
street plot was sold for about S.,
$50. Thus, if the present claim
for damages should be allowed, the
Llndsays will have received $47,-
900 for parts of the real estate
listed for tax purposes at $10,92O,
and will still own their most valu-
Axs pei, the present home prop
.nown as the McCauley place.
BY people in Chapel Hill who
Familiar with the construction
ri the railway spur think that the
owners whe had most cause to ask
for damages were those whose
homes are closer to the track
than is the Lindsay home. There
was not a great deal Of trouble,
however, in settling with those
whose land was taken. While some
of them considered that the rail
way was an undesirable neighbor
and that they suffered damage
from it, negotiations were amicable
and adjustments were reached. No
owners other than the Lindsays
have brought suits
The indications are that Mr..
Lindsay expects to make a fight of
it, since he has an imposing array
OF legal talent-JoSiah w. Bailey,
OF KaIelgh, Fuller and Fuller Of
Durham, and Gattis and Gattis of
Hillsboro. Robertson and Whit
field of Chapel Hill and w. j.
Brodgen of Drtrham are repre4
senting the University.
In its answer the University
holds that the settlement of August,
1921, under which $15,5OO was
paid to the Lindsays, was plainly
understood to cover "all injuries,
loss, and damage, present and
prospective. !"
The defendant, declaring that
full compensation has been made,
asks that the plaintiffs claim be
dismissed and that he be adiudged
liable for the costs of the. action. ~

viii Mild Weather be Used
To Improve Orange Roads?
In Second nstalment of Article Miss Berry Discusses Mileage
Cost of Road Building, and the
Taxation Feature

The coming of mild weather
means that the roads Of Orange
county which have been deep in
mud for weeks will again be pass
able. Providence, in the form of
spring and summer, comes to the
rescue of the farmers. The arrival
of mild weather means, too, that
the county commissioners, who are
charged under the law with the
construction and maintenance of
roads, will have several months in
which to do something toward pre-
venting them from being as bad
next winter as they have been since
January l.
In the second installment of her
article, Miss Berry tells of road
mileage, tax provisions, and posi-
BILE methods of new construction.

GAY HUES For CHAPEL HILL?
Will Town Reverse Tradition and Follow
the Fashion in Candy Hats7

"Chapel Hill won't stand for bright
colored hats, no matter if fashion does
demand them. I've tried them out here,
following the styles in the big cities, but
people just won It have 'em. Of course
I have the latest bright specimens for
the few exceptions-the ladies who fol
low the commands of Paris and New
York-but on the whole Chapel Hill is
ultra-conservative in the matter of hats.
That is, it has been so in the past"
This is what Mrs. Williamson, the
milliner, said the other day. She has
been in business here many years and
ought to know the tastes Of Chapel Hill
by this time.
But will the old tradition be over
thrown this. ,yearf The urge to gaudi.
ness is unusually strong. Who knows
but that Easter will provide a shocks
If the town trots true to form this
season, then it will be creating it's own
style, since the early Paris predictions
for riot Of color have been fulfilled.
This year it is difficult to distinguish a
hat-shop from a fower-shop window.
When one enters the latter with an open
mind as to the choice of an Easter
bonnet, tie discovery is made that col
ors this season range from black through
brown, navy, coffee, sand, gray, purple,
French blue, camel shade, sand jade, old
rose, up to spring 'sstriumphant note for
1923-green, with almond green the
leader.
As for shapes, we'll, this year the hats
have lined up to become any type of
face. The round face, or full face, the
long or narrow face, each may find a
suitable cover, for certainly with the
choice of pokes, mush- h-rooms, off the
faces turbans, sailors, shorts, turn-ups,
flares, and large dropping models, there
is no excuse for any one not to look
beautiful
And all this just means the hat, bare
of any ornament or trimming To the
desired color and shape are inexhaustihle
choices of trimmings. Flowers of course,
brilliant kitchen gardens of flowers,
violently colored and woven into
"sprays, half wreaths, and full
wreaths;" burnt glycerine effects; and
grapes, any shade art the colors with
which. nature has persistently endowed
grapes, the predominate.
Too, the panty felt hat, for early
spring, that ':almost possesses the power
of perpetual you'll" " makes a strong bid
for approval
Best of ALL perhaps, a bewildering
creation lies within the reach of every
one, for the prices are amazingly low,
with popular fields of $500 pickings.
For Chapel Hill, it is either to follow
the cult of Tutankh- Amen, don a green
and-yellow hat with jewels ornamenting
the ends of the long red velvet stream
ers on the left side, or, finding that ira
dition proves too strong, to wear the
modest hat of haircloth, sombre in its
hue of black or blue or brown, that does
lurk unsung in dim recesses of the shops.
April lst will witness the solving Of
this season s modle, and may in truth
prove real April FOOLS Day for Chapel
Hill. if, when the standard for 1923 is
flung to the breeze on countless heads,
it be revealed that the Victorian era is
at last supplanted by the Bolshevik
regime.

MONEY IN POULTRY
IN GRANGE COUNTY
Climate and Other Conditions Are
Ideal for This Branch
Of Farming
BOYS LEARN RIGHT METHODS
(By R. P, Harris)

Orange county farmers ought to
go in for poultry. There is money
in it. This is not a guess. 1t is a
proven fact. To anybody who
wants them / can give the names
and addresses of men who have
started in with hardly any capital
and IN little while have begun to
earn handsomely. Our climate
here is ideal for the poultry bust
ness. You cannot find better any
where. The only trouble is that
Orange county folk have not real
lied how great the opportunity is.
They are waking up to it, though.
They are beginning to see that they
can win out in this game if they
use moderate intelligence and have
q alittle patience.
In not very long we could get
enough poultry in Orange county
to stock three states. Every farm
er in the county should have at
least 100 pure-bred hens. 1t is a
mistake to rely on poor breeds.
Saving money here means loss
in the long~run.
If ydnzare starting out, order at
least one setting of Is pure-bred
eggs. Save your hens. If you
don't know where to get pure-bred
eggs, let me know and I can tell
you. They can be bought at about
10 cents each. You can always
market surplus eggs. Sell low
bred, buy high-bred, is the best
policy.
1t is encouraging to see that
many farmers are learning the wis
dom of buying hens of fine breed
ing. Not long ago l saw an Orange
man pay $3.50 each for eight
Barred Rock pullets. One of them
laid on the way home, and they
have been laying steadily ever
since. This price, which seems
high to some people who don t
know about poultry raising, was
cheap considering the results the
buyer obtained.
Here is something to remember :
1t is not possible to get satisfac-
tory egg production without add
ing animal protein to the chickens
ration. Fish meal is one excellent
food containing the needed ele-
ment. Buttermilk is good, but the
flock needs animal protein in the
fall, winter, and early spring
l know a mamie does not hap
pen to live in Orange, but works
under conditions similar to those
here-who made 81 400 in a year
from 200 hens. There are on rec
ord many such successes as this.
The coming generation is laying
the foundation of a great poultry
industry in Orange. Boys in the
Chapel Hill school, not only, those
from the country but many who
live in town, are learning the cor
rect methods and applying them.
They are developing remarkable
enthusiasm for this branch of
farming. Some have already be-
gun to earn considerable money
at it, even now before they are sup
posed to have reached the earning
age. The last issue of the Chapel
Hill Weekly told of the buying of
one-day-old chicks in Kentucky
and the sale of them at a profit in
Richmond.
