Deacons Issue Statement;
Newspaper Stands By Article
Pastor Speaks Bringing Libel Suit Church Body Sends
Letter of Protest to Editor Women Say Pool Visits
= We're Only Cause of Expulsion

From Mr.. Davis's statements
to the News and Observer and
from conversations that the edi-
tor has had with several of the
deacons, it appears that the
main objection they make to
the Weekly's article is that it
said the women had been turn
ed out of the church for going
in the swimming pool with men,
whereas, according to the pas
tor and the deacons, this was
not the only charge to them,
the other charges being non-at-
tendance and non-Support of
the church. ~-.-.
The three women, Mrs. B. B.
Lloyd, Mrs. Ralph Merritt, and
Miss Grace Womble still insist
that they were turned out be-
cause of their visits to the pool
and not for any other reason.
In the News and Observer Mr..
Davis is quoted (and this statement
of his has been confirmed to the
Weekly by the staff correspondent
who got the interview for that pa
perl as saying:
I'VE could have taken action about
the pool alone, but we were too
smart for that"
Mrs. Joseph Sparrow, proprietor of
the pool, who was a regular attend
ant at the church and taught in the
Sunday school, left the church last
year because of criticisms directed at
her by the pastor, There was no
question Of non-support in her case,
yet when she asked for her ''letter"
THAT is, the credentials which per-
son in good standing receives upon
severing connection with church,
it was refused to her, She says. This
is taken to indicate that in the o.
pinion of the pastor and the deacons,
connection with the swimming pool,
In itself, was reason enough for ac-
tion against a church member.

Editors Note: The Weekly is will
,g to publish the statement from
the Board of Deacons, as their view
of the matter, but holds to it that
in all important particulars the art
icle published last week was correct.
If it is true that there were on file
technical charges of non-attendance
and non-support, against the three
women, this does not alter the fact
that their having been in the poo;
with men was considered sufficient
cause for action against them.
With regard to the statement from
the deacons, quoted above, they are
mistaken in saying that the editor
"wiIfully and purposely" brought hu-
initiation upon them. OF course the
editor has no ill-feeling whatever
against the church, the pastor, the

When l was at Mrs. Charles
Johnston's, "a few miles north
of of Chapel Chapel 44iillly Hill the. other day,
Miss Mary Johnston showed me
a letter, printed and sent out in
September, 1862, by "E. Mitch
ell, Bursar of the University,
to the parents of students, The
purpose of the communication
was to warn parents against
sending the young men more
spending money than was
needed. He said that board,
room rent, washing, fuel, and
all fees paid to the college cost
$179.83 for the year; $40 more
would cover candles, Society
,expenses, pocket money, and
other ct ceteras," so that a total
of $3.50 would be ample. The
worst extravagances of students
he said, were committed mot in
the Village of Chapel Hill, but
in the City of Raleigh, and es-
pecially at the shops of the Mer-
chant Tailors there"
+
MANY of the students select
their apparel with excellent
judgment and good TASTE" says
the Bursar later in the letter,
"but here and there one whose
appearance, when he first came
amongst us, indicated that his
parents were plain, worthy, un-
pretending people, turns out to
be a Dandy of the first water. F"
No doubt a faculty mentor
might write the same thing
truthfully today, but the garb
of the women students so far
outshines that of the men that
the latter's clothes seem sombre
in comparison. Last Sunday
morning, from vantage point
near the middle of the town, |
saw many of these young wo-
men parade by and was much
impressed by the variety and
colors of their attire.
OneI with fine-spun hair of
the hue of fax, slender and
graceful, wore tan gown, a
lavendar hat, bronze slippers,
and pearl ear-pendants. But
the feature of her costume that
gave it true distinction was a
long light-blue cane which she
carried in her right hand. She
had somehow the look of a shep-
herdess on a fete day. Hardly
fifty yards behind her, also
bound for church, came a tall
figure all in black-not a spot
of color anywhere about her,
from the top of her black plume
to the toe of her black slippers.
In keeping her stately tread, her
eyes straight to the front, the
pallor of her cheeks. No CO.'S
tuner for the stage could have
worked out sharper contrast
than these two churchgoers pre-
sented. Before left my watch
ing post | saw many other cred
liable examples of the dress
makers art. have said be-
fore, but there is no harm in
saying again, that the presence
of women students in Chapel
Hill is blessing if for no other
reason than that their clothing
gives color and gayety to the
scene.

changes in fuel that had been made by a diminishing petroleum supply. They argued and argued, to no conclusion. Finally the whole matter was put to the automobile power plants section of the bureau of stand ards. special committee represent ing the Society of Automobile Engl- neers, the American Petroleum Insti- tute and the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce arranged a commerce arranged a complete pro- gram of testing fuels.
 The chief desire Is to obtain data which will furnish basis of estimat- ing the effect of changes in the vola- tility of motor gasoline upon the average miles of transportation per barrel of crude oil refined. In the in- terest of themselves and the general question of conservation of American petroleum resources, the refiners want to get as much motor fuel as possible from a barrel of crude oil. Long test runs of engines under all sorts of conditions, on the road and in the laboratory have been made and are being continued.
 An explosion which occurred early in September, killing four men and injuring several others, interrupted this work for a time. Herbert Hoover, the Secretary of the Department of Commerce, paid a high tribute to the men, declaring they lost their lives in the cause of the advancement of science. A part of the laboratory was wrecked and some of the records were destroyed
 When finished the series of tests will present proctical data showing how all sorts of motor fuels act un- der all sorts of conditions. The fuels range from the high test aviation gas, which Is exceedingly volatile, down to kerosene, including various blended fouls.

 There is s-lll hope. This is the real month of fogs. and a few days of cold weather will cause the light ing up of the millions of coal fires that form the base Of the old Lon don particular" without which no~au- tumn is a success.
 If the fog comes everything will be all right. The Londoner will be two hours late for work because his train cannot run, or will find him self marooned in a bus in some un- known part of town, or lost two blocks from home. He will curse the fog and London and take something to wash the soot down.
 If the present weather lasts, he may never consciously know what is the matter; but the whole season not given to handing the "missus" not given to handling the "missus' one for herself the cat will suffer.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-This autumn is total loss as far as Londoners are concerned.
 The newspapers are complaining at the amount of rain, and the weather prophets are making gloomy forecasts, but it is merely a matter of habit.
 For the first time within the rec ollection of ordinary observers, Lon don is enjoying fall weather that would not disgrace the average tenn perate American city.
 But though no one has the courage to admit it, nearly every Londoner feels the present condition dis grace. London likes it's weather straight, and usually gets it that way. This year summer has hung on until it threatens entirely to bust up the program.
 True, there is rain perhaps twice a day But it is warm, almost spring like, and in the morning when the

Luncheon Costs.
In connection with promotion

anywhere from $3.50 q plate to $10'
with souvenirs thrown in by the
host. The cost, it is declared, Is not

estimate the Importance Of the
project under consideration nor the
amount of the prospective invest
ment.
One Of the luncheons served here
recently, which resulted in an
agreement to invest thousands Of
dollars. consisted of chicken, cheese,
and salad sandwiches and black
coffee. It was nothing but q
"snack," eaten in less than twenty
during which the details
were discussed and the decision to
make the investment reached. This
happened to be one Of the few
luncheons where money
did the final talking. Checks repre-

r. S. Enge spoke on the develop Of
the practice of chiropractics, his pro-
fession. He said that it was discov-
cred by DR.. d. d. Palmer in 1895 but
had not been recognized as pro-
fession until 1915 when the state Of
the North Dakota was the first one
to formally recognize it. Since
then % states have recognized chiro-
practices as profession, have made
laws regulating it and prescribed
courses of study.
At the present time one must have
a high school education, and must
study for three months Of eight
months each and then pass examina-
ton before board of chiropraetors'
before being allowed to begin prac-
tice. A chiropractor is now allowed
to practice in hospitals in North
Dakota, SO far as legal restrictions
are concerned, it was said.
