The Town FrOze
Chapel Hill Caught in Cold Wave;
Mercury at 4

Chapel Hill froze up Saturday
night and was in the grip of the
cold wave for two days. The
water system was pretty near
ly put out of business, because
of pipes exposed or running too
close to the surface of the
ground. Early Sunday morn
ing cries of distress arose from
all over town. Scores of citizens
rushed to call up the power
house on the telephone, to ask
for aid, and there was a fran
tic rush for plumbing service.
In some homes the pipes
simply froze, so that lack of
water was the worst conse-
quence. In others they burst.
The power house force and the
plumbers were kept on the
rush all day administering
first aid, but they could no
where near get around. Auto
mobiles were disabled, too,
mostly by the freezing of radi-
ators.
The coolest point was reach
ed Sunday morning soon after
six O'Clock. The thermometer
outside of the power house,
said by Superintendent J. S.
Bennett to be an accurate one,
registered four degrees above
zero.

Judge Sykes and Dunn Are for the Stadium

Robert II. Sykes of Durham,
as alumnus of the University
who is deeply interested in all

got to come, and the sooner Uni
versity men get together and
build it the better.
1--WE are getting beyond an
attendance of from 10000 to
$4,000" he declares. "Just as
the University grows in the en-
rOllment of students, in it's fac
ulty, in it's buildings, so does it
grow in athletics and every
other activity. 1t won't be half
a dozen years before there will
be twice as many people want
ing to come to a Carolina-Vir-
ginia football game as we're
there this year. You have only
to observe what has happened
in the North to see the situa-
tion we face. Up there they
found out several years ago that
they must provide room for the
crowds that clamored at the

ly the same way with us. But

AQUICK DEATH
SERVED TOLICE
Hen at School, When Powdered,
Sheds Her Tenants by
the Hundreds
BOON FOR POULTRYMAN

A stranger dropped into the
Chapel Hill school the other day
and advanced the claim, to the
agriculture teacher, r. P. Har-
ris, that he had the finest poul-
try powder ever invented. There
followed a demonstration which
convinced Mr.. Harris that the
man was just about right.
They got large hen and sta
toned her on spread-out news
paper. Then the stranger and
the teacher applied two small
pinches of the powder to the
hens feathers, shaking it in
Just as one would scatter a pinch
of salt. They shook the hen,
and Immediately there was
shower of dead lice on the news
paper, They were not counted
with precision, but the testi-
mony of the onlookers is that
the corpSes numbered from 500
to 500.
The formula of the powder
is based on a by-product Of coal
tar. The stuff has the unusual
quality of sticking we'll to the
chicken. Furthermore. it can
be put in the dust bath in the
poultry house, and then the
chickens apply it. themselves
when making their daily toilet.
Mr.. Harris says he expects
the powder will be put on sale
at some one of the Chapel Hin
stores and he viii lie glad to IN
form poultry owners about it.

btate's Extension Man Treats Or
chards HcreabOuts

Il. +: Payne, extension man of
the horticultural branch of the.
State department Of education,
was here this week looking over
several orchards of Orange
county, Among the farmers ne
visited were S. G. Wilson, .. I.
Lloyd, ID. S. Walker and Arthur
Wilson.
His visit was in the nature
of a demonstration Of how to
prune and spray fruit trees to
rid them of insect pests, and
how to fertilize and cultivate. In
each orchard that he treated, ne
left a few trees as they were,
the idea being to show the dii-
ference between trees well cared
for and those neglected.
The horticultural class Of the
Chapel Hill schOol-35 members,
including two young women,
Misses Andrews and Lloyd
went out with Mr.. Payne to the
Wilson place Tuesday afternoon
to see just what he did and to
hear his advice.
Just now this instruction fits
in admirably with the course al
the school. Students are study
ing spray charts with particular
reference to the varieties Of
fruit adapted to Orange county
soil and climate. These chart,
tell at what stages of growth
to spray trees, and exactly what
kinds Of spray should be used
Ior each fruit.

throngs in good time.
"This plan for a great sta
dunn should appeal particularly
to the University alumni at the
ends of the State, who do not
get a chance to come back to
the Hill often. We who live here
in Durham and Raleigh and
other nearby places visit the
campus any time the whim
seizes us, but the men down
east and up in the mountains
don't have this opportunity.
The big games are the only oc-
casions on which many of them
go to Chapel Hill. They are
tremendously interested in ath-
letic events, and nothing will
appeal to them more than a
scheme to give these events a
proper setting"
A Word From Mr.. Dunn
William Dunn of New Bern
sends in his word of approval:
II am heartily in favor of
this stadium proposition as set
torth by you IN your editorial.
| feel sure that, if your plan
can be worked out by a COM
mittee, a sufficient number of
alumni in the State will be found
willing to take the shares"

l. For all their skill and persist
Tence, it would not come out of
the mud. The rural mail car
rier drew up behind-and had
TO stop because the road was
only six feet wide and there WAS
nothing but swamp on either
side. Back of the mail carrier
came other automobilists, and
all, of course, were halted.
After much futile running of
the engine, the Chapel Hillians
took up two bridges from near
by streams, used them first as
levers and then as a sort of
side-track, and at last pried the
car loose and cleared the road.
The u. S. Mail was free and
went ahead, followed by all who
had been blocked behind. MIR.
Howell and his friends stayed a
while to replace the bridges, and
then made their way successful
" to the duck-hunting preserve.
They lived on an island cover
ing about a quarter of an acre,
contiguous to the larger Du-
rants where the hunting club
has its headquarters, in the Ali
gator river a little way from
Albermarle Sound. AT high
tide the little island was pretty
nearly wiped out, and water
flowed under the fisherman's
shack where the huntsmen
slept. They shot several ducks
before they started back home
on New Years morning.
Mr.. Howell bought one island
SHE Alligator six or eight
months ago, but its arsa of an
acre is not big enough to suit
him, and he is negotiating for
another in its place.

So wrote Kipling in his poem
about the wrecking crew on the
New York Central. Had he
been down in the swamps of Tyr
rell county, North Carolina, a
day or so before New Years he
would have found a like theme
but a better one. For there the
United States Mail was held up
by Vernon Howell, his nephew
Vernon Kyser, and F, o. Bow
man, while they ripped bridges
from across streams in order to
get their automobile out OF the
mud.
Mr.. Howell and his guests set
out from Chapel Hill Christmas
week to go duck hunting on and
around Durant's Island. Most
of the journey was made
smoothly, but when they came
to the marshy land of Tyrell
they got into real trouble.
Corduroy roads, roads made
of logs laid crosswise of the
right of way, are the only means
of getting across the sWanps.
The three pharmaceutical ex-
perts were passing along one of
these roads on a dark night
when Of a sudden they came to
a place aWhere the logs We're
missing. So the car sank down
into the mud and stayed there.
Getting it out in the dark was
out of the question. The travel

found lodging for the night

ONE Inn PASSES,
ANOTHER COMES
Wreckers Ars Busy Clearing
Way for the Graham
Memorial
NEW INN TAKING SHAPE

AS the last fraction of the
University Inn is destroyed to
make way for the Graham Me-
mortal, the exterior of the new
Carolina Inn at the west cam
pus gate is taking it's final
shape. While a force of wreck
ers were demolishing the dilapi-
dated structure near the Alumni
building last week, the workmen
on the other side of the cam
pus, having already completed
the outer walls, and the frame
work of the north portico, were
hurrying to get the building
rooted in so that the interior
operations might proceed with
out hindrance during the win
Ter. y
1t is hard for many people
in Chapel Hill to realize, bat it
is a fact, that the University
Inn, whose broken-down aspect
has made it the butt of ridicule
these last few years, was re-
garded quarter of a century
ago as one of the most select
habitations in the village. When
julie Carr, Jr., and John Carr
and Frank Rogers, among the
most popular and well-to-do stu
dents in the University, INSTALL
ed themselves, in 1895 or there
abouts, at the north end Of the
second floor, their suite was
pointed out as the acme of un-
dergraduate luxury.
w. G. Peckham, a New York
lawyer who came here on a visit,
bought a great deal Of Chapel
Hill real estate, and one of his
purchases was the celebrated
John Watson hotel. He tore it
down, all except the part on the
main street that had been put
up to receive James K. Polk
when he revisited his alma
mater, and built the Inn in its
place. Walter Pickard conduct
ed it as a hotel for many years.
1t was sold by the New Yorker
to II. H. Williams and George
Stephens, and they in turn sod
it to the University. Used as
a dormitory, as time passed it
deteri0riated and came to he
less desirable as place to live.
The contrast between this edi-
flee and that which is now be-
ing put up by John Sprunt Hill,
is the contrast between the old
Chapel Hill and the new. The
Carolina Inn, of Colonial design
and with a portico modelled after
the one at Mount Vernon, is to
be modern in all respects. The
plans call for rooms for hun-
dred guests. There will be an
elevator, a ballroom, a spacioOs
lobby, and the most improved
restaurant service. The place
is to be run as club under the
direction of University alumni
and other friends of the insti-
tuition. Mr.. Hills present inten-
tion is to complete it in time for
a formal opening next Com
mencement. The architect is
Arthur C.. Nash.

Chapel Hill Chaf

Whatever Havana used to be
famous for, nowadays it is so
famous as the chief source of
booze supply for the southern
part of the United States that
one hardly ever thinks o. it in
any other connection. But any
body who expects to go up and
get tasty little nip from Mrs.
Daniel, just back from the Gu
ban capital, is doomed to lisap-
pointment. She didn't bring a
drop. She was scared to try it.
There may have been other rea-
sons-loyalty to the grand old
Constitution, for exampla-but
she admits that fear of what
the customs officers might dc
to her was one deterrenC.
When the homecoming pas
scngers debarked upon the dock
at Key West, and the officers
went through their baggage,
dozens Of bottles were hauled
out of the mems suitcaseS and
lined up in a row on the floor.
Mrs. Daniel was glad then that
she had been law-abiding. She
was surprised, however to learn
that confiscation of the stuff
was the only punishment; /;
there were no fines or inlpris~
onment, nor any threat thereof.
The touring party with which
she made the vacation trip was
made up in Greensboro and con-
sisted almost entirely of school
teachers. There were thirtecn
Women-and one lone man! He
was a Mr.. Brown of Norfolk.
The school teachers were single,
and Mr.. Brown, an agreeable
looking person of about thirty,
found himself in great demand.
Three Of the teachers succeeded
in getting a sort of corner on
him. When the party reached
Havana, they took him and two
male Cuban acquaintance in
tow, and the sextet saw all the
sights in fine style.
Doctor Kluttz informed ME
the other night that, upon read
ing in this newspaper the com
plant against hookless shoes,
he went up town to the shoe
repair shop and had a set of
hooks put on. He was smiling
happily when he told me about
it and said that he was CRATE
full for having been reminded of
the useless trouble he had been
enduring every morning.
Vernon Kyser has had the
rare good luck to find setter
dog that he lost last fall. He
heard about it accidentally from
somebody who happened to rec
ognize it. The person who had
the dog acquired it, quite inno-
Gently, from a negro who said
that the animal "jes come along

Kyser is inclined to think the re-
port is true, since the negro did
not sell the dog but gave it
away.
