 It only took Raggedy Ann short time to put a patch on the Howloon,
 but before she did this, Raggedy Ann filled the Howloon with lots more
 candy covered cookies and Jolly pops,
 for the Gingerbread man had thought to bring these along with the other things.

FAMOUS WOMEN
By GENEyIEyE wARU


 Most romantic has been the career of Genevieve Ward, the famous &C., tress who has delighted three gen. erations. Born in New York eighty five years ago she was the daughter of a colonel in the United States army. She was sent to Europe as a child to have her voice trained, and when only IT she met and fell in love with Russian nobleman, Count de Guerbel of Warsaw. He proposed marriage and was accepted, but broke off the engagement when he found a wealthier lady. The pretty American girl was not to be cast aside so easily. She gained an au- dience with Czar Alexander II, and laid her case before him, with the result that the recreant lover was forced to make good his promise. The bride left her husband at the church door immediately after the ceremony and proceeded to Milan, where in 1856 she made her operatic debut at La Scala under the name of Ginevra Guerrabella. Later she sang in Paris, London, America and Cuba, but injured her voice by over-exer- tion and was forced to leave the op- cratic stage. For a time she taught singing in New York, but in 1873 she became an actress and toured the world in Forget, Me Not" Later she acted with Sir Henry Irving and other celebrities.

DIR. Lynch on Visit Here

DIR. William Lynch, who re-
tired from the practice of dent.
istry about a year ago to devote
his remaining years to hunting,
was here on a visit this week.
He is now living in the northern
part of Orange county where
there are still plenty of quail,
and he is overjoyed that the
open season has come. Recent
ly he had fall on the stairs
and hurt his knee ;but the in
jury does not keep him from
walking about, nor does it i'm
pair his good-humor. He ex-
pressed great pleasure at being
in Chapel Hill again and greet
ing his old friends. He has sold
his home on Mallett street to
Rev. w. G. Hughes.

W. c. Coker has turned the
civil engineer, T. F. Hickerson,
loose on a tract east of the Uni
versity campus, on the right
side of the Country Club as
you go toward the clubhouse,
and already Mr.. Hickerson has
laid out roads and has a force
of men clearing away small trees
and underbrush.
The tract will be divided into
13 lots, each one of them COW
ering, on the average, an area
15O by 800 feet. Two new roads
will run off from the Country
Club road. The one nearest
town goes along a ridge. The
eastern one, nearest the club
house, is on a lower level and
winds around, following the
contour of the ground. The
lots abutting upon it will face
east and overlook the golf
course.
Thick woods cover the land.
They will be thinned out, but
of course the finest trees will
be left standing, and there will
be an abundance of shade.
No time is to be lost in get
ting the place into shape. Ora
ding will probably begin this
week, ana as soon as the roads
take shape preparations will be
made to provide water, sewer
and electric light service. This
is the same program that was

CAROLINA MEETS
VIRGINIA TODAY
Hopes for Victory are Higher
as Result of Re-
cent Games
JACK MERRITT WILL PLAY

This is the day when the Uni
versity of North Carolina meets
the University of Virginia in
the annual Thanksgiving Day
football game. The match is
played on Lambeth Field, Char
lottesville.
A detailed telegraphic report
will be received in Memorial
Hall. The course of the con-
test will be shown on the grid
graph. An ingenious mechan-
ism, combined with electric
bulbs, shows how the ball is car
ried, kicked, or passed, and
gives the names of the players
figuring in each play.
Special trains have taken
crowds from Chapel Hill and
other towns in North Carolina.
Earlier in the season enthusi-
asm in this state was somewhat
dampened by the defeats inflict-
ed upon Carolina; but the vic
tories over V. M. I. and David
son have given the Tar Heels
new hope, and the excitement
that has marked the event in
former years is again evident.
1t was feared that Jack Mer-
ritt's injuries would keep him
on the bench, but it is said now
that he will be able to play.
Hackney, the Durham youth
who made the only score in the
v. M. /. game by drop-kick,
and then kicked two field goals
against Davidson, is depended
upon to repeat the performance
today if Carolina is stopped
within kicking distance of the
enemy goal. Robinson, the sub
stitute center, is ANOTHER play
er who has displayed fine late
season form.

Annual Cleanup Week be-
gins next Monday.
Town wagons will haul away
from all premises, without

should begin cleaning their
premises early in the week so
as to be ready for the trash

How Much Will the Legislature
Appropriate for the University?

A question now being discuss
ed with deep interest in Chapel
Hill is: How much will the leg
islature appropriate for the Uni
versity?
To the people of North Caro-
lima this question is important
because of it's bearing upon the
states educational progress.
But in Chapel Hill it has an ad-
ditional Importance because of
it's material aspects. The de-
velopment and the prosperity of
the town are closely linked with
the growth of the University.
Every dollar that is voted for
new dormitories, new classroom
buildings, and new teachers,
means more homes and business
structures, and more trade, and
therefore greater resources with
which to carry through all the
improvements of which the
community stands in need.
Whenthe progressive forces in
North Carolina inaugurated
four or five years ago a cam
paign for the upbuilding and
better support of state institu-
tions, the University mapped
out a six-year building program
designed to provide for 5000
students, and asked for
$5,585,O0O. The legislature lis
tened to the plea with sympathy,
but, instead of voting the money
all at one time, decided to vote
it by two-year periods.
In the 1921 session, 81, ,49O, 900
was appropriated as a building
fund, and in the session of 1923
81, 1,65O,0OO, making a total for
the two sessions of So, 100000

REPORT ON Use
OF SEAL MONEY
Mrs. Moody Durham's Commit
tee Tells of Work to Com
bat Disease
NEGRO NURSE is HELPED

AS the day for the annual
sale of Christmas seals, for the
aid of tuberculosis sufferers,
draws, near, Mrs. Moody Dur
ham, chairman of the sale COM
mittee of the Community Clubs
health department, reports on
how money raised from seals
has been spent during the last
year.
Four hundred dollars was
used to send an Orange county
man to a sanatorium. When
he went his life was despaired
of; when he got back he had
gained SO pounds and is now in
good health.
Four hundred and fifty dol
lars was paid to the nurse who
works among the negroes. She
has managed several cleanup
campaigns in the northern and
western sections of the town;
she has vaccinated <>2O8 negro
children for smallpox and inoc-
ulated 68 for typhoid fever; she
has had performed 32 opera
tions for bad tonsils and ade-
noids. This week she is bring
ing 36 patients to be examined
at the free tuberculosis clinic.
She has been instrumental in
having one man sent to a sana-
torium, and has taken eight or
ten persons to a clinic in Dur
ham. She makes an average of
80 calls a day.
Three-fourths of the money
that comes from the sale of
Christmas seals is spent in this
locality to promote health; the
money is available as long as it
lasts, to any person, white or
colored, who is afflicted with
tuberculosis and is unable to
meet the cost of treatment.
The seal sale campaign in
Chapel Hill takes place Wednes-
day, December 10, and will be
concentrated in the two hours
from II A. M. to / P. M.

legislature for $2,445,O to fill
out the $685., 900 originally re-
quested. (This is entirely apart
from maintenance appropria-
tions.)
The registrars records indi-
cate that the estimate. of 5000
students at the end of the six
year period will be made good
by actual enrolment. With the
figures of the last few years as
a basis, it is calculated that by
next June the students in attend
ance during the regular session
will number around $500, an in
crease of 500 in two years. A
similar increase.in the two years
following-that is, in the third
two-year period, 1925-1927-
will bring the number to 5000.
The Coming Program
With the money already re-
ceived, the University has built
seven dormitories and three
classroom buildings, and will
have completed by next fall the
chemistry building and the wo-
mems building. There have
been, besides, expenditures for
laundry, an indoor athletic
building, the improvement of the
water supply, the conversion of
Memorial Hall into a serviceable
auditorium, and other minor
projects.
It is certain that the chief
building included in the con-
struction operations of the next
two years will be a library. This
will be erected about 200 yards
south of the South building to

Work on Golf Course
Moving Off Rocks; Four Holes
Ready This Winter

Work on the Country Clubs
golf course has been proceeding
steadily.
The most important opera
tion now in progress is the
clearing away of rocks and
stEmps from the fairway of the
first hole. This stretch is the
toughest on the entire course
and has presented the greatest
difficulties. But the patient
and continuous work of a negro
who totes the rocks out of the
way is beginning to show the
results. There are some bould-
ers so large that they will have
to be blasted, and that will
probably be done before long.
Before the winter is over
four fairways and their greens
will be in condition for play.
The clubs board of directors
has appropriated $500 for build
ing the greens.

several of the young women of
the village recently because
their names got all mixed up in
the account of the sale of for
get-me-nots for disabled war
veterans. This came about
through the accidental transpo-
sition of two or three linotype
"slugs." Martha Royster be-
came Bitsy Royster, and Bitsy
Daggett became Mildred, and
the name Martha was given to
Mildred Walker. Apologies are
hereby offered.
Just after the paper came off
the press Parker Dagget was
reading it in my home. All of
a sudden he addressed Mrs. Dag
get: Look here! We've got a
new daughter, Mildred" They
both looked a little non-plussed
for moment, but reassured
themselves by a rapid recapitu-
lation.
Still, to make up for the mis-
takes that occur, one is often
comforted by the mistakes that
might so easily have occurred
but did not. Suppose, for exam
pie, that the two pieces along
side each other on the front
page last week-one about the
faculty possum hunt and one a.
bout the capture of johnson, a
negro razor expert-had been
confused with each other, and
that this paragraph had been
tackled on to the account of C..
T. Murchison's and Gerald john
sons exploit: when johnson
was captured Monday a great
crowd gathered around the jail. "
Now, wouldn't that have caused
a sensation among the journa-
lists acquaintances in Green's
boro?
There was some fear, two or
three weeks ago, that the plac-
ing of the curbs and cutters on
Rosemary Lane was such as to
make the roadway too narrow.
But this fear was allayed by a
sight that met the eyes of pass
ers-by one afternoon. Two
trucks were parked opposite one
another, along the curbs, and

Manager E. M. Knox were seen
to walk abreast, in perfect
