mobile of the negro, who was
accompanied by another man
and two women; brought the
party to Chapel Hill; and lock-
ed all four up in a cell in the jail.
All except the gun-toter were
released after being questioned.
Bruce Caldwell, a young Cha

and reputation, walking out Of q

ham negro seated at a table The
stranger groWled, made a move
ment to his pocket, displayed a
revolver, and used threatening

1st Summer Term Ends: 2nd Begins

With the last of the final ex-
aminations now in progress, the
first term of the Summer
School is about to end; Regis
tration for the second term has
begun.
Good-byes are being said ev-
erywhere-on the campus, in
the restaurants and stores,
along the street. Automobiles,
plying between here and Dur
ham 60 crowded in both direc-
tions, and trunks piled high
with trunks are rolling back and
forth between here and Carr
boro.
Never has a Summer: School
had so large an attendance as
the one just ending. About
1,500 men and women were reg
istered. Director Walker says
he is counting on about 600 for
the period between now and
early September. It is estimat-
ed that, of this 600, probably
one third are repeaters from the
first term.

PREPARE BLANKS
NEXT THURSDAY
American Legion Officials Will
Help War Veterans Apply
for Bonus
OVER. HARDWARE STORE

Next Thursday, July 81, the
Chapel Hill Post Of the Ameri-
can Legion will launch it's cam
paign to help ex-service men
fill ogE applications for the ad-
justed compensation, in the form
of paid-up endowment insurance
policies, provided by Congress at
its recent session.
From 2 to 6 o'clock in the af-
ternoon and from Z to9 o'clock
at night, Commander Carl Dur
ham, Adjutant William B. Neal,
Treasurer Charles E. Gooch and
several volunteer helpers, will
be in a room above Chapel Hill
Hardware Compa9y's store pre-
pared to welcome the ex-service
men and show them how to make
out the blanks.
This first meeting is for Cha
pei Hill and Carrboro veterans
only. Men out in the country
will have special meetings as
signed to them later and will be
duly notified. For example, one
day may be devoted to the re-
gion west of Chapel Hill, another
to the middle of Orange county,
another to the east section, an
other perhaps to Chatham.
It is impossible to ask all ex-
service men to come at one time.
since the filling out the blanks
is bound to be a rather slow pro-
cess and all the applicants could
not be attended to at once.
The job Of getting the appli-
cations in to Washington has
been thrown upon the American
Legion by the Government, and
the Legion is going to do the
lest 1t can to get through with
Il rapidly. It needs help from
the veterans. For one thing,
every one Of them should be sure
to bring his discharge certificate
if he has it. IF not, then come
anyway, and the application will
be made out anyway. The Gov
eminent notice says that the dis
charge certificate, while desir-
able, is not absolutely necessary.
1t is urged that veterans do
not wait until night to come to
next Thursdays meeting. If it
is possible, they should present
themselves in the afternoon, so
that the work may go ahead
steadily. If they should all wait
and crowd in at night, some of
them would be sure to have to
stand in line, and then go home
without being reached.
The advice is given that under
no circumstances should a veter-
an pay anybody to fill out a
blank for them. The law pf6.-
vides that anybody who charges
an ex-service man for this is sub
ject to fine and imprisonment.

Chapel Hill Chaff

the country now, and leaves the
main highways, comes back
with tales of roads rendered i'm
passable by the floods Of the
last few weeks. The worst suf-
ferers are probably the rural
mail carriers, because they have
to travel many miles every day.
Robert Neville, the carrier on
Route 3; has been telling me of
being forced to 60 four or five
miles out Aof his way in conse-
quence of the washing away of
the bridges on Morgan's and
Phill's creeks. Conditions seem
to be worse out toward Damas-
Gus and Antioch than anywhere
else. A few days ago County
Road Supervisor Brown, when
he was on an inspection trip
near Antioch church, got stuck
in the mud and had a hard time
getting his car out.
The county commissioners,
Ralph Ward, ]. D. Webb, and
Arthur Wilson went out week
ago to see the washed-away
bridges, or rather the place
where the bridges had been.
They decided to reconstruct
them and raise them to a some
what higher level. One of the
structures is pretty nearly in
tact, having floated down.

Summer Buzz
By Betsy Lake

When is a dress an evening
dress? This is a question that
has been stirring the Summer
School for many weeks. There
are chaperones who have al
most turned gray, and others
who have taken to their beds,
I hear, from nerve strain over
this pulling problem. 1t seems
there is a rule that girls must
not go to the Saturday night
dances in evening dress. This
rule is supposed to be upheld
by the chaperones, and many
maidens who have rashly be-
decked themselves in too fine
feathers have been sent home to
change. But those girls who
wear garments on the border
land, say sunset, or twilight
costumes, are the ones who are
hard to deal with.
81 can't tell an evening dress
from an afternoon one," said
one chaperone. "None of them
have any sleeves. When I went
to dances we wore real low-neck
dresses, but now there aren't
anymore really low frocks. They
seem modest to me, compared
with what we used to wear"
"Modest!' cried another lady
of the nineteenth century vim
tage of debutantes. Modest !!
Why look at their under clothes!
They haven't got anyw
"Then we can't look at them!"
comfortably answered the first
speaker, who takes an opti-
view of the Modern Girl.
Ut course some of the girls
who have been sent home for
being over-dressed do not like
it. They say they would rather
wear their last winters evening
gowns than ruin their best
sports clothes dancing. They
question the propriety of the
ruling, But the authorities
should not mind being question
ed. Everyone is subject to in
Quily, even cabinet officers.
Speaking of styles, it seems
a pity, now when nobody wears
sleeves, that there are no more
alabaSter arms to be shown,
such as These which are said to
have been displayed to such
perfection at the harp in olden
times. Maybe it is because. arms
are so plentiful that they do
not seem beautiful these days.
Certainly most of them are
queer colors, and lumpy, and
have little of that sinuous grace
50 frequently attributed to the
beauties of past generations.
But no doubt, the Past Genera
ton will always claim the great
est beauties, even in the years
to come, so perhaps the frankly
form of our Modern
Girl will gain glamour when
in the elusive myster-
les Of Time.
Now that everybody asks
everybody else, "Whcn are you
going to bob?' old fashioned
females have to look within their
5ouIS and ask, when indeed?
Age is no excuse, fatncss has
accn dashingly ignored by many,
Who wished to be shcarcd; long
uechS are no more considered a
'anker; and so one must look
deeper for a reason for not fol-
lowing the fashion. 1t seems to-
