A. E. F. Men At Feast
Two Abernethys Delight Them With
Amusing Anecdotes

With Lieutenant Colonel
Eric Abernethy as master of
ceremonies, some thirty men
who served with the American
Army overseas gathered in
Gooch's banquet hall Tuesday
night, and ate and smoked and
talked to their hearts content.
Only two of those present
were in uniform: George Feth-
erston in the uniform of the
Chapel Hill police force and
Frank j. Haronian in the hori-
zon-blue costume of the French.
1t seems that Colonel Aber-
nethy must spend a whole year,
between these meetings, think
ing up new jokes and anecdotes,
for he always has a fresh supply.
Loud laughter greeted his tales
Tuesday night, and his cousin,
the athlete Abernethy, was a
close second in the ability to
draw applause from the feast
ers.
H. A. Whitfield, attorney-at-
law; his associate, Mr.. Downing !;
Mr., Martin, formerly of the
Marines; and Mr.. Mccarthy of
the Yankee Division were other
speakers.

Hill Bakery Expands
Will Go Int New BnildiAg Near the
PickWick

The. Hill Bakery is to install
a new plant in a brick building
soon to be erected on part of the
old Guthrie place, two doors up
the street from the Pickwick
Theatre.
It is to be a thoroughly mod
ern establishment. The prinei-
pal unit, in the eqlPment order
ed, is q cast-iron oven that
costs $4,000. There aresmixers.
moulders, and racks to match.
All these will be in the rear. On
the street front will be show
windows to hold a display of
cakes and breads of various
sorts.
An expert baker from the.
North is to be in charge of bak-
ing operations. According to W.
B. Neal, proprietor, this man is
a reg'lar wiz at fabricating all
manner of bakery products.
Part of the new outfit is to be
a shower bath and private lock
ers. No soiled hands or clothes
in this shop, absolutely!
A complete ventilation sys-
TEN is also provided for.
Ground for the building win
be broken soon, and completion
is looked for in about 80 days.
w. s. Robertson, who is putting
1t up, wants to get the walls
built and the roof on before the
worst of winter sets in. The
frontage will be 25-feet and the
depth Is.
Increasing business is the
reason for the Hill Bakery's ex-
pansion. Since August /, for
example, it has made 1000
pounds Of pOund-cake, about one
third of which has been sold in
Durham.

Seal Sale Soon
tuberculosis Association Again In
Fight ON Disease

The sale of Tuberculosis seals,
the proceeds of which go to sup
port the fight on tuberculosis,
will go on through December 6,
Z and 8. Chapel Hill has a popu-
lation of about 1000. If every
body here bought 80 cents worth
of seals this would bring in a
total of $500. Of this, $4OO
would be spent in the village it.
self, for nursing, payment in
whole or in part for maintaining
patients in hospitals, and medi-
cal and material aid for patients
that cannot go to hospitals.
In the United States last year
$3,842,500 was raised from the
sale of seals. North Carolina
contributed $4,000. Thirty
five thousand dollars was left
for use in the state after de-
ducting $1,000 for the seal sales
and educational work carried on
by the national and state tuber-
culosiS associations. The pro-
ceeds from the seal sale in
Chapel Hill last year amounted
to $473.
Mrs. John K. Lear is heading
the committee that has the To-
cal campaign in charge. The
XII g's Daughters and the Com
munity Club see to it that the
money raised is spent to good
advantage.

More people are going to be
in Chapel Hill on Thanksgiving
Day this year than have ever
been here before.
Fifteen thousand is the esti-
mate, by Graduate Manager of
Athletics Charles T. Woollen, of
the attendance at the Virginia

at important corners to make
sure that the flow of automO-
biles goes smoothly.

NEW MAIL DELIVERY

Chapel Hills new mail delivery
system is running smoothly. y
Dewey Poythress and Robert
Burch, the two carriers, start out
from the post-office every morning
at about nine o'clock, Poythress go
ing east and Burch west. Because
the University campus is not yet on
the route-the boxes not having been
installed in the dormitories-the east
half of the town is much more easily
covered than the west, and POythrcss
is through an hour or so ahead of
Burch. But delivery is expected to
be. extended to the campus before
long.
"House-to-house delivery is reduc-
ing congestion in the Office a great
deal" says Postmaster Herndon.
Some people are holding their lock
boxes, but most of them seem to like
the idea Of getting their mail at
home. 1t will lead to much better
service if those who send letters here
are asked to write the street and
number in addressing. In fact, this
usually means e,differencc of day
in the delivery"

New Hotel, Possibly
To Fill Main Street Gap Next to

I A force of masons are at'worl

! rows smoke shop.
At least, it iS called a hotel
now, that being the best bet at
what the structures going to
turn out to be. Possibly it will
be a combination store-and-dor-
mitory, like it's next-door neigh
Dor to the east. The ground
floor is to be laid out in such a
manner-with space for desk,
slumber-bench for bell-boys,
chairs, and other lobby furni-
ture-that the place will be well
suited for transient patronage.
There won't be any dining room.
The several restaurants nearby
make that unnecessary.
There has been talk of a sec
ond-story bridge-corridor, run
ming over the alley by the Or
ange Printshop and connecting
with the Strowd building. The
idea is that the two structures
may be operated together as a
hotel. But this has to wait upon
an agreement between w. S.
Robertson Chapel Hill Insur-
ance and Realty Co.. and Rob
ert L. Strowd. At present the
company has a lease, with four
years to run, from Mr.. Strowd; !;
if the linking scheme were car
ried out a longer tenure would
have to be arranged.
The question naturally arises:
With the new Carolina Inn ris-
ing at the west gate of%the
campus, why put up another
hotel in a village no larger than
Chapel Hill? The answer is
or may be-that there is a class
of transients who will prefer the
location on the main street
and the sort of rooms Mr..
Robertson is planning to pro-
vide. The Carolina Inn is in
tended to serve, principally, Uni
versity alumni and their friends.
The new building fills up a
gap, in the towns business dis
trict, about which there has
been much speculation. When
the construction is done the
west side of the street will be
built up all the way from the
Tankersley place to Gates Jew
elry Shop.

SCHOOL Is NOW
PRUNING TREES
Teachers, With Boys to Help,
Will Put Anybedy's Orchard
In Shape
POSSIBILITIES IN FRUIT

The Chapel Hill high school
boys who have been making a
study of orchards are ready to
help anybody, in town or in the
nearby country, to prune and
spray fruit trees. They. oper-
ate under the direction of r. P.
Harris and H. N. Kelly, the agri-
culture teachers.
Already requests for assist
ance have come in, and there
will be more when the news of
the opportunity has spread
about.
This is the season when or
ders should be put in for young
new trees for planting, and the
school helps in selecting these.
Encouragement is given to va
riety rather than to concentra-
tion or. one particular fruit.
There are Is boys in one sec
tion of the horticultural class,
and Fl in the other. They can
split up in as many gangs as
necessary in giving first-aid to
orchards. ,
At this time of year they ap-
ply what is called the dormant
spray" designed mainly to kill
the San Jose scale, which de-
stroys more fruit trees in the
United States than does any
other blight. The treatment is
a dose of lime-sulphup. Next
spring come the regular sprays
to control insects.
The offer of the school teach
ers and the boys is to get the
work on orchards started, by
showing owners just what
should be done. After that, if
any one wants to have a num-
ber of trees pfuned and spray
ed, some of the boys may be
employed at a moderate charge.
pruning may go on from now
until spring." says Mr.. Harris,
but the sooner the start is made
the better. Grapes, especially,
should be attended to in the
fall.
Everybody who has enough
ground around his house-and
OF course every farmer has
should have an orchard. This
is ? good fruit-growing coun-
try, mad the yield will be big
and of high quality if reason
able precautions are taken to
protect the trees.
Orchards should be we'll
balanced. In placing your or
ders for plants now, you should
make a thorough count of what
trees you already have, and
then make out your list so that
-:you will have sections of
peaches, apples, plums, and so
on"

Chapel Hill ChaF

In the early years of football
between Carolina and Virginia
we used to troop out to the sta
tion, in the part of Chapel Hill
that is now Carrboro, to get the
bulletins that Ben league took
hot off the wire. A student
took the yellow slips from Ben
and shouted their contents to
the crowd. When the defeat was
over-it almost always was a
defeat-the students and faculty
and townsfolk trooped gloomily
back through the November
dusk. Now there is a grid
graph set up~in Memorial hall,
and you see the progress of the
game reflected by the move
ments of electric lights on a
great board marked off like a
football field.
i **
Such a luxury as a telegraphic
repart was then reserved for the
Virginia game. Now several
games each season are reported
play by play. The grid-graph
has told us this fall some rather
sad tales; but the end of the sea-
son is not yet, and comparative
scores indicate that Cardinals
chances of a victory over Vir-
ginia are at least as good as
even.
