NEW ELECTRICAL DEVICE

An electrical device has re-
Gently been patented which.
while small enough TO be carried
conveniently in the pocket. Is
said to AFFORD very great assist

unable to hear any but the loud
es OF sounds.
The phonopher. as this device
Is called. consists mainly Of q
small earpiece or receiver. weigh
Ing less than half an ounce and
fitting almost invislbly into the
outer ear passage. a small trans
mltter. measuring , by 4 inches
and a little over a quarter Of an
inch In thickness. n switch and
a small light battery OF high
storage capacity. II Is claimed
that this instrument enables the
deaf TO hear the most subdued
musical sounds rs well rs con.
versational and public speaking.

The Idea Of electrical hearing
aids Is not new. Various con-
trivances have made their mp.

80. but have had many draw
backs. such rs the roaring and
kissing sounds, caused by the ex.

The elimination Of the metallic
tones from the transmitted
sounds has been accomplished
by substituting a thin membrane

A Few Football Facts
Bearing on the Virginia Carolina
: Thanksgiving Game

The universities of Virginia
and North Carolina have met on
the football field &c times, be-
ginning in 1892. Virginia has
won II games, North Carolina
g, and one was a tie.
In the last ten years-that is,
the period beginning with the
game played on Thanksgiving
Day, 1914-North Carolina has
won 4 games, Virginia 3. (There
was no game in either 1917 OF
1879
The coolest opinion, of those
not swayed by partisan hopes,
seems to be that Thursdays
contest should be a close one.
On the record, certainly neither
team has a big advantage.
The two institutions that both
teams have played are Trinity
and V. M. l. Virginia's victory
over Trinity was by a wider mar
gin than Cardinals. V. NJ. l.
beat Virginia 35 to 0 and Caro-
lima 8 to 0. Seeing that the V.
M. l. matches came later in the
season, and therefore ought to
mean more, this would make
Cardinals chances seem better.
But, week before last, Da> i'd
son, which was thought TO have
no look-in at all, played Caro-
lima almost to a stand-still, de-
spite the fact that the final
score was IA to 0. All who saw
the game agreed that David
sons performance was far bet
Ter Cnan the score Indicated. On
the same day Virginia lost to
V. P. l., which was thought to
be far stronger, by three points.
The outcome of the two games
on that day served, on the whole,
to make Virginia's chances
against Carolina seem better.
Most of the gossip gives Viz
ginia the stronger backfeld and
Carolina the stronger line. The
best of Virginia's backs of a
year ago are playing this season,
while Carolina has lost John
ston, Fred Morris, Merritt, and
Sparrow.

FlOcks Are Culled
Non-PrOducing Hens Are Marked
Out For Slaughter

The culling of poultry flocks
is in progress now on many Or
ange county farms. On the av-
erage, probably one out of every
five hens turns out to be a non-
producer; that is to say if she
lays at all she lays less than
enough to pay for her keep.
Farmers are writing to R. P.
Harris, or sending word in by
their boys who attend school, to
come out and look over their
flocks. Sometimes alone, some
times with a group of his stu
dents who are studying poul-
try, he makes thorough exam
ination of the poultry in re-
sponse to each call. The expert
on hens can tell a fruitful from
a non-fruitful hen just as the
expert on horses or cows can
tell the merits of these animals,
so that when a survey is done
the owner of the chicken-yard
knows just which hens to kill
and sell for eating and which
ones to keep.

FARMERS USING
ACETYLENE GAS
Good Crops Sold at Good Prices
Make More Home Comforts
Possible
CARBIDE TANK IN GROUND

A number Of the farmers in
the country around Chapel Hill
are now putting acetylene gas
lights in their homes. Among
those who have recently install
ed this system of illumination
are Manly Durham, Nebin Dol
lar, and Malcolm Blackwood.
Good crops and a good mar
ket are responsible for this new
home comfort. More cotton has
been grown hereabouts this year
than ever before, and cot,an, is
selling high. Likewise, other
farm products-poultry,. swine
and beef, as well as crops and
vegetables, have been going
well.
An acetylene gas lighting
plant costs from $500 to $500,
according to the size of the
house and the extent of piping
required. A carbide tank is
built underground, and the rest
of the installation consists of
pipes and fixtures sucn as are
used with the usual gas-lighting
in cities. The carbide is replen-
ished now and then at a mod
crate cost.
With each fixture in the
house there is a friction device
for producing a spark. The
light can be turned on, by q
movement of the wrist, as easily
as one turns on an electric
light. ~

Fish Meal Fed to Chickens

With the coming of winter,
fish meal is being ordered for
chickens. It supplies the animal
protein that is necessary to
good egg-production. This form
of feed was not used at all in
this territory until last year.
Several tons were used then
and the quantity shipped in this
winter will be still greater. 1t
comes in 10O-pound bags and can
be ordered through the agricul-
ture teachers of the high school
Fish meal should constitute
about one fourth of the ration
the rest may be made up of corn
meal and either wheat bran OF
shipstuff.

The new paved road, running
out from Durham to a junction
with the State highway to

this side of the city limits, is

about a week. 1t will cut the
distance from Chapel Hill tc

of the highway where relief is

PLAN WELCOME
FOR THE CROWD
Students Have Formed Commit
tees to Make Things Easy for
Visitors Thanksgiving Day
WELL WILL BE CENTER

Elaborate preparations are
being made by the Y. NJ. C. A.
and a group called the Fresh
man Council to receive and aid
the people who come here to
see the Virginia-Caroiina foot
ball game this week.
The College Well is going to
be the center Of hospitality.
There will be committees to an
swer miscellaneous questions,
to guide strangers around the
campus, and to help in the park
ing of cars. At the Y. M. C. A.
there will be a parcel check
room. 1t is announced that
person will be hired to stand
guard over these during the
game, but most people here will
wonder how even the resource
full Mr.. Conner can induce any
guard to stay away from the
spectacle.
1t is expected that many Wis
itors are going to be in too great
a hurry to want TO eat regu-
lar meal in the middle of the
day, so part of the welcome will
consist of running a sort of
lunch counter at which pack
ages of food can be bought at
reasonable prices and can be
eaten if the purchasers so de-
sire, on the campus or on the
grand stand of Emerson field.
DreSsing-ro0m and restroom
facilities for women are to be
provided in the new Law bull
ding, which is within a stones
throw from the entrance to the
stadium.
Charles T. Woollen, graduate
manager of athletics, and his as
sistants have been taking great
pains to devise a scheme for
handling the crowd with the
very least possible inconveni-
ence. They have arranged for a
number of entrances to the field,
each entrance tYbe used by the
ticket holders of a certain sec
tion or group of sections. The
sign over an entrance will cor
respond in color to the tickets
which are to be presented there.
Those who remember the
great influx of two years ago,
and the instances of reckless
driving, are expressing fear lest
there be automobile accidents
on the Chapel Hill-Durham
highway on the day of the game.
Even in ordinary times there is
much speeding, and of course
the danger will be increased by
the heavy traffic.
