Great Magician Coming
Houdini Will Appear in Memorial
Hall Friday, November 21

Houdini, commonly known as
the worlds greatest magician, is
coming here to give his show in
Memorial Hall Friday, night of
next week, November 81.
One of his tricks is to swallow
several dozen needles at one time
and bring them to light again all
threaded.
But that is only one of the
many of the marvels he pre-
sents.
His program is divided into
four parts.
First, he tells about his exper-
fences with celebrated mediums
and how. he exposed their fakes.
Second, he shows lantern
slides of himself in company
with mediums.
Third, he gives a performance
of his own magic-the tricks
that have made him famous. In
the language of an announce
ment, "the Master Mind of Mys-
terry will present 30 minutes of
inexplicable feats of magic, in a
manner equalled by none"
Fourth, he will answer ques-
tions from the audience about
spiritualism and kindred sub
jects. Questions may be written
on slips that will be distributed
through the audience.
Houdini is appearing here un-
der the joint auspices of the Car
olina Playmakers and the Y. M.

Columbia University Scholar Gives
Lecture Recital Tomorrow Night


"The Listeners Share in Mu-
sic" is the subject of the lecture
recital to be given at half past
eight o'clock tomorrow friday
night, in Memorial Hall, by Dan
iel Gregory Mason of Columbia
University. The program con-
sists of piano numbers accom-
panied by remarks which inter-
pref to the audience the idea of
the music played.
Mr.. Mason, who is brought
here by the University's lecture
committee, is one of the coun-
try's leading figures in musical
education. He is the author Of
a four-volume series called "Mu-
sic Appreciation" and of several
other books. His success on the
platform has been due, largely,
to the fact that he has not only
a thorough knowledge in his
field but also the gift of popular
presentation.
There is no charge for admis-
sion to the recital.

Mrs. Archer Has a Car

Mrs. Archer has an automo-
bile and is driving it herself.
She is around 70 years old, but
any fear that she or her friends
had that she might be nervous
at the steering wheel turned
out to be unwarranted. Almost
from the time her instruction be-
gan she felt unafraid, and, be-
fore she had been at it more
than a day, was threading her
way imperturbably through the
traffic of our own main street
and soon thereafter she tackled
Durham with the same conf
dence. Her instructor stayed
by her, for safety's sake, but
she has not seemed in much
need of help.

Methodist WOmen's Meeting

The Woman's Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church
met at the parsonage last week.
After a devotional service led by
Mrs. Stacy, and a business ses-
sion, the gathering was address,
ed by ]. Marvin Culbreth, secre-
tary of the educational board of
the church. His topic was "E-
vangelical Work among Stu
dents" He told of the ten stu
dent pastorsat work among the
$1,000 Methodist students in
Southern schools. Part of his
talk concerned the religious
courses that, at some institu-
tions, are accepted as credits
toward graduation. He said
that of the 27,000 Methodist
students in Southern schools, Sc
per cent. were in state institu-
tions, "a per cent. in church in
stitutions, and 20 per cent. in
other institutions. After the
adjournment of the meeting
there was a social hour, with
Mrs. Paulsen as hostess.

A tuberculosis Clinic
State Health Board Will Send a
Specialist Here

A free tuberculosis clinic will
be held in Chapel Hill during
week after next-from Monday,
November "a to Saturday, Nov
ember 20.
, In response to a joint request
of the Chapel Hill board of
health and the health depart
ment of the Community Club, a
specialist from the state sana-
torium will come here to conduct
the examinations.
Since it will be impossible for
one man to make an unlimited
number of examinations in a
week, preference will be given
to these classes of patients:
l. Those who are referred to
the specialist by a physi-
clan.
2. Those who have had any
of the familiar symptoms Of
tuberculosis.
3. Those who have been
closely exposed to infection !;
especially all children in a
family where has been an
active case.
A. Those who have been i'll
but whose illness has not
been diagnosedas due to an
other disease.
Orange county ranks 10th in
the state in the number of
deaths from tuberculosis, and
most deaths occur because the
victims do not find out soon E.
nough what is the matter with
them and then take steps to ar
rest the malady.
In the last eight years the
number of deaths from this
cause in North Carolina has
been cut in half-the result of
just such work as this free elm
ic will do.
tuberculosis clinics have been
made possible by the sale of tu-
berculosis stamps.

Armistice Celebrated
r. d. w. COnnOr Made Principal
Speech at Exercises

Armistice Day was celebrated
in Chapel Hill by band-playing,
a parade, and exercises in Mem
orial Hall. The principal ad-
dress at the commemorative ex-
ercises was made by R. D. w.
Connor, professor of history in
the University.
Memorial Hall is a big place,
and almost every time that any,
thing happens there the seats
are far from filled. But this
time there was too big a crowd
for the benches, and scores had
to stand at the rear of the hall
and in the aisles. Mr.. Connor's
speech, in which he spoke. of the
significance of Armistice Day
and made a plea for a continu-
ance of democratic progress,
particularly in North Carolina,
was warmly applauded.
DR.. Abernethy read the Or
ange county roll of honor-the
names of county men who died
in the world war-and P. H.
Winston read the names of
those who, during the S. A. T.
c., died here in the University
hospital.
The parade of school children
down the main street and
through the campus was led by
the boys band.
W. B. Neal, adjutant of the A
merican Legion post, will prob
ably be explaining to members
for the next or so why he sum-
moned them to the school at
1O:3O and then let the parade
get away before they arrived.
There seems to have been faul-
ty liason, or no liason at all, be-
tween George Denny, who had
charge of the program, and the
adjutant. However, nobody
suffered deeply. The Legion
members who came to the
school at 10:30, and found they
were too late, set out singly and
by twos and threes for Memoir
ial Hall, many of them were
greatly relieved at not having
to show the public how they had
forgotten to keep step to the mu-
sic.

CIRCUS COMING

There's going to be a big
show--called the Hig1 School

day after tomorrow (Saturlay)
hight. A menagerie, ST leshows,
tarkers peanuts and pink lem
orade. clowns-just ABOUT all
the features that you find at
Barnum and Bailey's will be in
tro1uced.
And a street parade. too. This
will take place probably just be-
tOre dinner when the main street
is crowded. Mr.. Sides will have
his Toys band out, an0 behind
them will march all the perform
crs and menagerie beasts.
Admission to the show at
night will be only 10 cents, and
this includes admission to the
ring performance which consti.
tut@s the big event of the oc.a-
sion. Entrance to the side
shows will cost from one to five
cents.
The money taken in will be
divided between the school ath-
ie.ic association and the annual.
The senior class of the high
sctool is getting out an annual
for the first time, and there is
much interest in it.
Proceedings start at seven o.
Clock. From then on for an
hour and a half the sideshows
will be open. The booths will be
in the library and in the base
ment. At $3.50 the sideshovs
will close and the ring perfor-
nance on the stage of the audi
torium will begin.
Here the literary and each If
the clubs in the school will do
a stunt. The clubs are the dra-

MOVIES FOR THE
COUNTY SCHOOLS
Menagerie, Side Shows, Peanuts,
Pink Lemonade, and Varied
Ring Performance
ANDY GUMP WILL APPEAR

It may be a motion picture
projecting machine will be
bought by the schools of Orange
county jointly, so that shows
may be given in rotation in the
country districts. The machine
of the type that schools in other
parts Of the country use costs
something over $40O, including
the motor. It has been calcu-
lated that nine school groups,
contributing $51 each, could put
the scheme through.
The idea is not to try to get
an appropriation of public mon
ey, but to raise the necessary
amount through voluntary con-
tributions, benefit Performance
es, and in other ways.
''It will seem incredible to
people who live in town" .one of
the men who is interested in the
plan said yesterday" but it is
fact that there are country
people living within a few miles
of Chapel Hill who have never
seen a moving picture. A lot of
them are fairly starving for en-
tertainment, and if we could
work out this cooperative en-
terprise it would put a great
deal of happiness into their
lives.
"It has been proved highly
successful in other sections. The
government bureau of educa-
tion in Washington and the Y.
M. C. A. both supply good films
either free or at a low cost, and
comedies that have had their
first run can be obtained for a
very small outlay. 1t might be
that an admission fee of. s or 10
cents would be charged at some
of the performances, while 9TH
ers would be free.
"The machine could be moved
from school to school, through
out the county, SO that every
community would have it's turn.
In this day of automobiles the
shifts could be managed with
little trouble. Some boy or girl
in each school could learn quick
ly how to operate the protector,
and a screen would cost only a
few dollars.
"We are going ahead and see
what can be done. From my
wide acquaintance with the
country people I feel sure they
will be enthusiastic about it.
Elsewhere these machines
have been made to pay for Them
selves in a short time through
small admission charges at some
performances"

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-24
By LAY LOYESTONE.

If every worker and farmer would
only get the chance to read the $50
cial Activities" page of the Wash
ington newspapers
What splendid propaganda these
gayety columns contain against the
enemies of the city and country
workers!
What hell and damnation these
columns pour into the camp of the
friends of labor"l
What damaging evidence these
columns array against the "dirt-farm
Senators and congressman
Here is typical gem culled from
the Society Page" of the Wash
ington Post, regarded by many as
the official mouthpiece of the royal
family on Capitol Hill:
"The President and Mrs. Coolidge
entertained aboard the Mayfower
yesterday afternoon, their guests
being for the most part recruited
from the Senatorial contingent. The
party included Senator and Mrs.
Tasker L. Oddie, Senator and Mrs.
Frank B. Willis, Senator and Mrs.
Arthur Capper, Senator Frederick
Hale, Senator and Mrs. Edwin F.
Ladd, Mrs. Mae E. Nolan, member
of Congress from California; the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs and
Mrs. Charles H. Burke, Mr.. and Mrs.
David S. Barry, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Stearns, the Rev. and Mrs. Jason
Noble Pierce and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
eric William VILE"
COolidge's Flagship.
So here we have it! President
Coolidge has learned something from
Henry Ford. The strikebreaking
Chief Executive has organized a
peace ship, as it were-a ship where
he signs peace with his political foes
on his own terms. The Mayflower,
the country's royal yacht, has become
the peace ship of the Administration.
On this boat the over-advertised
"dirt-farmer" Senator Frazier from
North Dakota has been entertained.
On this boat the senior Senator Ladd
from North Dakota has been twice
entertained.
These tactics are pretty simple.
A Senator's constituents get rest
less. There is danger of the Senator
pretending to listen to the COM
plants. He soon threatens to be-
come an insurgent. But in the eyes
Of the Administration pretensions
are dangerous nowadays when they
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-24

are popular. The President then ar
ranges a cruise down the Potomac.
The "insurgent" Senator gets an in
vitation from the President himself.
If necessary even Mrs. Coolidge does
the inviting. The "insurgent" is
tanned. The progressive" is flatt-
cred. After all, what is the Senator
for if not to receive honors and be
taken into 'decent" company. The
royal Mayfower goes down the Po-
tomac-quite often they say even
beyond the three mile limit. And
down forever go the faintest pro-
gressive pretentions!
Ladd is Thru.
This is the story Of the fake prog
ressive Senator Ladd. His younger
colleague Frazier has become some
what frightened at the Juror that
his maiden trip on the Mayfower
has brought On amongst his bank
rupt farmer constituents in North
Dakota. So Frazier is, for a while
at least, thru with exhilarating Poto-
mac air.
But Professor Ladd, oh well, he
is different! He is an ex-professor of
agriculture and therefore knows
something about outstanding and rap
ing virgin soil. Apparently the
Professor Senator Ladd is convinced
that his political Puritanism has been
raped by his maiden Mayfower trip.
Apparently he has become convinced
that his constituents have already
seen thru him much more than he
had ever dreamt of in his worst
nightmares. 1t would seem that
Ladd knows he stands. no more
chance with the poor farmers whom
he has fooled and betrayed. Ladd
is now bent, on building up new po-
litical fences with his new angels.
For the poor farmers and the, ex-
plotted workers the story of the COM
plete disgraceful collapse Of Senator
Ladd teaches many lesson.
Some Pertinent Questions.
Let the farmers of North Dakota
ask some questions from the ex-
insurgent Senator Ladd. Let Senator
Ladd answer them and explain if he
can. Otherwise let North Dakota
farmers kick him into the alley.
Now, Senator Ladd, do you think
that associatipg and hobnobbing with
the worst enemies Of the farmers
helps the bankrupt farming masses
in any way at all?
Do you think that the farmers who
voted for you, the farmers whose
debt increased more than a hundred
