bringing discredit upon Gods

our town, our children and orr

blight their hope for greater oD-

CRACK IN BELL,
ORIGINAL FOUND
Impact of Clapper for 68
Years is too much
For the Metal
DISCOVERY BY Mr.. COBB

The college bell, after being
whanged by it's clapper several
times a day for So years, crack
ed last week. From the belfry
atop the South Building it had
been sending out it's calls over
tie campus and the village ever
since it was installed about 1856.
AS a result of the cracking,
the original bell, the one put into
operation in 1895, has been dis
covered by Collier Cobb in The
Junk room Of Durham found
ny.
Mr. Cobb remembered having
seen it, back in the year 1902, in
the basement Of the South Build
irg, whore it had stayed for
naarly 20 years. Upon retuyo-
ing from a European trip in
1855, he found that it was no
longer theye and learned that It
had become the property Of Ore
Eon Tenney. He looked up Mr..
Tennay and the latter said he
had sold ii as junk in Durham.
The incident Of last week re-
called all this to Mr. COBB, and
straightway he went over to
Durham on a search. Tile bell
was located in the attic of the
foundry Of John Kerr, the same
man who had got it from Mr..
Terney.
ut would be a fine: thing for
the University to have the
first old bell as relic" suggest
ed Mr.. Cobb.
Il will be delighted to give it
20 the University" replied Mr..
Kerr. "You can get it any
time you want to send over for
it."
Mr.. Cobb says that VIXEN a
bell is once cracked it cannot be
of any use again-that the only
thing to do is to buy a good one.
There is a report, however,
that the University is planning
to send back to a fouLGry the
bell recently cracked ard have
it welded or -recast Perhape,
if this restoration is possible, it
might be preferred to have the
original bell mended in 'tead Gf
the second one. Or, if the [ nj

Robert w. Winston Takes One More
Step in Rejuyenati0n

Robert w. Winston, former
Judge Of the superior court Of
North Carolina, startled his fam
lily and friends, and created
something of sensation in
this community, when he came
and re-entered the University
at the age Of 65 or thereabouts.
That was a year ago. Now he
is going to take the final step
in rejuyenation, for tonight he
is going to be initiated into a
Greek~letter fraternity, the Zeta
Psi.
At a gathering of Zetes a few
days ago, faculty members and
students, they were talking
about "legacies." A LEGACY"
in fraternity discussions, means
student whose father was a
member and who therefore
should logically become a mem
Der himself.
"Well, you boys don't realize
that we have here now a legacy
whom you ought to take in. He
is what you might call a reverse
legacy His two sons, Horner
and Bob, Jr., were Zetes. He
might have been one too, but
there weren't any fraternities
in college when he was q stu
dent more than forty years
ago."
The suggestion was greeted
with enthusiasm. A national
officer of the fraternity happen
ed to be here at the time, and he
applauded it. Since the Judge
is not a regularly registered
student in the University this
spring, authority had to be OBJ
tanned from national headquart-
ers. AL burlington arranged
this by telegraph. Meanwhile,
DR.. Mangum had sounded the
Judge and found him willing.
There is an old poem in which
occurs the line, Backward,
flow backward, O tide of the
years." Judge Winston, retired
from bench and bar with no fin
ancial worries to beset him, SO
commanded, and the tide of
years obeyed. He is pursuing
the ways of youth day after
day and month after month,
and finding infinite zest in life.
After he registered in the Uni
versity last year his son-in-law,
Frank Webb, wrote him a letter
giving him counsel in the Ian
guage that parents employ with
their sons, warning him against
dalliance with wine, women and
song, charging him to attend
faithfully to his studies, and
explaining to him just how he
should demean himself with the
faculty and his fellow-students.

The Boxing Bouts

To my way of thinking a vote
of thanks is due to Bill Cox of
Rowland, Robson county, for
his enterprise in getting boxing
started as a University sport.
And he and his helpers did
themselves honor by the perfec-
tion of the arrangements for the
match between Carolina and the
soldiers from Fort Bragg in the
Tin Can last Friday night. All
the professional trimmin's were
in evidence-the big ropes we'll
supported, and covered with
white tape; the water bottles
and towels; the rubbers and fan
ners; the practiced referee, Lieu
tenant Duff; and the announce
Ements and introduction of the
boxers, by Mr.. Cox himself.
And the final metropolitan
touch was impaired by the re-
splendent full dress Of two ring
side spectators, Dir. James B..
Bullitt and George McKie of the
faculty. John NJ. Booker had on
evening dress too, but concealed
it, except from nearby admirers,
by an overcoat. Which was per-
haps well enough; the Tin Can is
rot used to this attire, and three
big shirt-fronts and sets Of
studs would have been a bit too
dazzling.
There is a peculiar zest to box
ing-no other form Of athletics
quite takes its place. And the
crowd is varied and vastly enter
tanning. The pleasure Of seeing
a good set-to with the gloves is
shared by all manner of folks.
Here on the front row, on one
side of the ring, was James F.
Royster, who had probably
spent the day chasing some Old
English adverb back through
the centuries to it's birth on a
Vikings fleet bound from Nor
way to the coast of Kent and di-
rectly across from him was
Moody Durham, fresh from the
rigors of the automobile trans
portation business. But here,
this evening, their two hearts
beat as one, and when they let
forth their cheers in the midst
of a furious bout the language
of one was no more classical
than the language of the other
they both spoke in the pun
gent accents of Chapel Hills

Company was signally honored

MAN POLICE SEEK
DROPS DEAD READING
John M. MacKay, Wanted on Bad
Check Charges, Collapses in
Congressional Library.

John II. MacKay, fifty-five years
old. released from the workhouse at
Occoquan, Va, several weeks ago and
wanted by the local police to answer
number of bad check charges, drop
ped dead in Congressional Library
yesterday, where he was reading
4 newspaper. He was pronounced
dead by DIR. II. Watson Mofitt.
Mrs. Mackay. wife of the man, re-
siding at COS II street northwest, had
not seen her husband the past sew
eral weeks. She knew the police
were looking for him and promised
to let them know if she received any
word from him.
About noon Mrs. Mackay called
Detective Mansfield to tell of hay-
ing received letter from her hus-
band yesterday. After a slight hesi-
tation the detective told of the death
report, and the wife seemed some
what affected by the news.
Detective Vermillion arrested Mac
Kay several months ago on charges
of failing to pay his board bill and
passing a worthless check for a small
sum. He served the sentence imposed
in Police Court and was released.
Mackay was formerly employed as
elevator conductor in the Colorado
building. 1t is said by the police that
relatives of the deceased are promi-
nent residents of New Orleans.

F0RHEAT|NG PLANT
Navy and Munitions Build
ings Improvement Request
Sent Congress.

Appropriation of $4,000 for con-
struction of a central oil-burning
heating plant for the Navy and NUM-
tions buildings to be made available
before the new fiscal year begins, on
July ], was requested of Congress
yesterday by President Coolidge and
the budget bureau. This heating plant
would also supply heat to a garage
and seven temporary structures.
Heated by Single Steam Line.
Congress is notified that at present
the Navy and Munitions buildings are
heated by a single steam line from
the Potomac Electric Power Company.
Under the present arrangement the
cost of heating these twelve buildings
Is Sl78.45l.o7, and it is estimated that
by the proposed new plant saving
of s54,9l9 annually can be effected.
Director Lord of the budget bureau
also points out that if the $4,000 APP
preparation is made a saving of sl5,-
, 900 can be made in the pay roll of en-
pioyes and $4,000 in the cost of fuel.
light, etc.
No Great Coal Economy.
Capitalization of the heating plants
and use of oil for heating the Navy
and Munitions buildings, the Interior
department building. garage and
buildings housing seven independent
establishments would not materially
reduce the demand for coal from th..
government fuel yards, engineers Of
the bureau of mines declared today
The fuel yard at present supplies
the coal for all the government build
ings not using steam from the loca
electric light plant. and sells it at
practically cost. Government engi-
neers were inclined to question the
possible saving by use of oil in Il
central heating plant, as long-term
contracts for fuel oil could probably
not be obtained at price that would
show any apparent saving over the
coal now used.
They added, however, that the ad-
vantages of centralized plant
were apparent.
Local retail fuel dealers were pre-
pairing today to resubmit bids for the
entire government coal business on
basis similar to that proposed moro
than two months ago, which was
turned down by Secretary of the In
terror Work. as not Indicating
saving on its coal business to the
government. The supplemental es

by the President would make neces-
sary a Encouragement of their bid, il

years ago, that "A sheet of bank notes
had been reversed in the press. The
