The Joys of Snow

Snow descended bountifully
upon Chapel Hill yesterday,
bringing with it the usual trail
of joys for the practitioners of
shedding and snow-balling and
the usual discernfortS for the
people who have become too
stiff-jointed, stodgy and torpid
to enjoy such sport. The flying
flakes filled ears, climbed down
neeks, and insinuated their way
to the inside of shoes. Those
that reached the ground form
ed a covering, several inches
deep, that made pedestrians
and automobiles skid, retarded
coal deliveries, and spread colds,
coughs and sneezes through the
community. Snow, snow, beau
tiful snow, your visit to town
annoys me so, Whyinthehell
don't you pack up and go?

ANEW PICKWICK
Is BEING BUILT
S. J. BrOckwell Is Expected to
Finish Theatre by First
of May ,.:
SEATING CAPACITY, 725

S. j. Brockwell, owner of the
Pickwick theatre which was
burned recently, has started re-
building SO energetically that a
new Pickwick may be ready by
the first of May.
According to those who have
seen the plans, this is going to
be a really modern movie thea
tre fireproof, with good exit
Facilities, comfortable seats, and
ample ventilation. It's seating
capacity is to be 725.
Almost before the ashes were
cold, Mr.. Brockwell was making
his plans to build. He decided
upon the entrance scheme which
has found favor in many cities.
That is, he will use his street
frontage principally for two
stores. Between these stores a
broad corridor will serve as en-
trance and lobby to the theatre,
and back of the stores the whole
width of the building, fifty
feet, will be used for the audi
torium. The total dimensions
are so by 80 feet.
Since the construction is to be
fireproof, and since there will be
two exits in the rear in addition
to the corridor to the street,
there should be no uneasiness
about fire danger.
Brodie Thompson is in
charge of the erection of the
building for Mry Brockwell,
The O'Kelly Tailoring Com
pany, which has moved tempor-
arily to the old tin-shop down
Columbia street from Andrews
store, will move back, when the
new structure is completed, to
it's former quarters,

gan, Mrs. Joseph Hyde Pratt,

"BIack Oxen" on Screen

The restoration of youth by

taken from the remarkable dis
covery of a French scientist a

and Tuesday. The heroine is a
woman of sixty, who, after hav-
ing lived in Europe, turns up in
America young and beautiful.

The Graham MemOrial !
Spirited Campaign Launched to Com.
plete Student Center

With work on the first unit of
the Graham Memorial building
already begun, a spirited cam
paign has been launched, among
the students and alumni, to COM
plete the fund.
The Tar Heel got out an eight
page issue called the Graham
Memorial Number" last week,
and had 1850 copies printed
for circulation among Univer-
sity alumni. This issue was al
so in celebration of the thirty
first birthday of the Tar Heel.
A mass meeting of the students
was held in Memorial Hall Mon
day morning. The gathering
was addressed by President
Chase; J. r. Allsbrook, president
Iof the student body; and C. C.
PoindeXter and Monk Mac
Donald, athletic heroes and two
of the most popular men on the
campus.
In the first campaign, started
in 1919, $124,OOO was raised in
cash and pledges. The new cam
aign last year brought the total
to $273,0O0. A financial state
ment issued month ago showed
$3.50 cash on hand. The re-
mainder of the $273,0OO is due
in the next two and one half
years. It has been decided that
a fund of 100000 must be OBJ
tanned for an adequate student
center building. Some of the
big institutions of the coun-
try have the student
centers running uhmin cost to
more than million dollars.
The Graham Memorial is to
stand on the site of the old Wat
son Hotel (later the University
Inn), across the street from the
Presbyterian church.
The main entrance will be on
the campus side, on the walk
that runs up from the street to
the Old East building.

In celebration of the coming
of their son, DR.. Louis Webb,

union Sunday at their home on
McCauley street.
Clarence Webb brought his
wife and three children over
from Durham, Miss Annie Lee

formerly Miss Elizabeth Webb,
was of course already here. On
ly Alex, who lives in Rocky
Mount, was missing.
DR.. Webb is district manager
of the Veterans Bureau of@the
New Orleans district, and a trip
to Maryland enabled him to
come by here. He drove about
the town and campus and saw
all the improvements. They
pleased him, and when he was
getting ready to leave he said
he was surely going to make
every effort ITO come back to
Chapel Hill and live as soon as
he could.
In addition to looking after
the i'll and wounded soldiers, he
is an officer in the United States
Public Health Service. This
coming summer the government
is going to send him toColumbia
University in New York to pur-
sue a special course in connec-
ton with public health work,
and on his way there in June he
will come by Chapel Hill again.

SOusa's Band in Durham

John Philip Sousa's famous
band is coming to Durham to
play in the high school audi
torium next Tuesday afternoon,
March A, at 2 P. M. In the
course Of a letter recently to
William T. Freeland, manager
of the Durham Academy of Mu-
sic, who arranged for next Tues
days event, Mr.. Sousa spoke of
the large number of successful
men he met who had once play
ed on local brass bands. "When
| met the late President Hard
ing, about a year ago." Mr..
Sousa wrote, 1--WE talked of the
important part the brass band
played in the social life of the
small city. Most Of the ex-
bandsmen I have talked with
seem to have been players of
alto horns, tenor horns, E-flat
comets, and E-flat clarinets, in
struments which have almost
disappeared from modern
bands"

Chapel Hill Chaf

John McCauley, in Andrews
store, was in a fair way to get
me all puffed up day or so ago
by telling me how in the Wash
ington, D. c., Union Station, he
had heard a man demanding at
the newsstand, in loud tones, a
copy of the Chapel Hill Weekly.
II came up behind the man."
said Mr.. McCauley, "and when
he turned around l saw it was
Bill Neal, who was on his way
back from his trip north to buy
baking machinery" But Clyde
Andrews walked up just then
and told me this was just a tale
John had made up to counteract
one that Bill had brought back
about Johns getting lost in the
station and having to ask a po-
liceman to show him the way to
the street.
The only time l ever
got the best of a dis
cussion with Mrs Lawson
was when, after she had started
in to raise Cain with me about
the inaccuracy of something |
had published, l was able proud
| ly to inform her that the thing
hadn't been published here and
that she had evidently got this
paper confused with some other.
This was a negative victory but
a pleasant one.
Many years ago, when a child
was born to certain multi-mil-
lionaire in New York, one Of the
newspapers published a photo
graph of the infant the day af-
ter it's birth. A friend of the
city editor met him on the street
and complimented him upon
his enterprise in getting a
picture so promptly. The city
editor grinned. ooh, we knew
any baby would do" he said,
$50 we just dug into our files.
The picture you saw printed
was one of King Alfonso of
Spain taken when he was a week
old" | am reminded of this by
the photograph that Brother
Saunders of the Elizabeth City
Independent published two
weeks ago apropos of the forth
coming appearance there of the
Carolina Playmakers. The pho
tograph was labeled "Miss Fran
ces Gray of Chapel Hill" Most
of the papers readers, of course,
didn't know the difference, but
here in Chapel Hill we recogniz-
ed the face as none other than
that of Miss Nancy Battle. But
what's the difference? When
it comes to a photograph, one
Playmaker does as we'll as anoth-
er, provided a good locker is Sc
lected.

the prize winner is named first,
followed by the letter (P), and
the names of exhibitors are fol-
lowed by the giver of the prize.

Goldie Perry exhibited a coop

j. P. Carr, the poultry expert
of State College, acted as judge,
He gave special praise to the
Rhode Island Reds, saying that
these Orange County fowls
would do credit to any poultry
show anywhere. After the show
was over, the crowd moved over
from Cheshire Webb's ware
house to a room in the court
house, and there Mr.. Carr talk
ed to them about feeding and Sc
Iecting and, in fact, all the va
rious phases of poultry-raising.
He emphasized the adVantag-
es of a poultry association. Such
a body enables poultrymen to
buy their supplies cheaply and to
pHget good prices for their prod
ucts. 1t also gives regular in
formation to it's members, about
breeding problems as we'll as
marketing.
Altogether, &C fowls were ex-
hibited at the Hillsboro show.
: Considering the fact that it was
the first show of the sort lin
Orange, this is distinctly en-
couraging. In the last year the
number Of pure-bred flocks in
the county has shown a remark
able increase, and it seems sure
that Orange is to become a great
poultry county.
