Collier Cobb, 62 years old last
Friday, had three birthday par
ties. At the first Mr.. and Mrs.
Prouty, G. X. G. Henry, and Mrs.
Denny were the guests. The
second party came about when
Mr.. Cobb found in his recitation
room at college a big box con-
tanning a Lady Baltimore cake,
and asked the givers, his class
in geology, down to his home
to help eat it. At the third cele
bration Mrs. Lucy Phillips Rus
sell and Miss COrnelia Love were
guests. Mr.. Cobb got gifts and
letters and kilograms from all
over North America, Europe and
Asia. South America and Aus
tralia did not contribute, but
there were plenty of messages
without theirs.

WinsloW, is coming to Chapel
Hill tomorrow from Watts Hos

Mr.. Winslow is connected with

a few days later a revised report

Daggett's Thumb Caught

The Daggett family hoodoo is
still on the job. This time it
operated on the head of the
household. When Parker Dag
gett was going up on an elevator
the other day in Cambridge,
Massachusetts-one of those ele-
vators that are operated by the
passengers themselves = he
caught his thumb in the mechan-
ism. When he got his thumb
loose part of it was missing, but
not a large part. Considering
that Massachusetts is the Dag
gets native state, it has treated
them scurvily. They have been
having illnesses and other bad
fortune ever since they got
there. People here think they
would do we'll to come back to
Hill.

Tree Murder Deplored
Mr.. Cowles Says Replanting IS Only
Remedy

H. c. Cowles, botanist, Univer-
sity of Chicago professor, and
one of the country's leading men
in his branch of learning, talked
about forestry in Davie Hall one
afternoon last week. Scores of
beautiful pictures, thrown on
the screen, gave vividnesS to
his lecture.
Murder was the word he used
in describing the treatment that
the forests of the country were
receiving. Replanting on a
large scale, he said, was the only
possible way to make up for the
destruction that had been COM
mitted.
eve are headed for disaster"
said Mr.. Cowles, "if we don't
mend our ways. People talk of
substitutes that will make wood
less necessary in the future. 1t
is true we are building steel in
stead of wood railway coaches,
and use concrete and brick in
buildings more and more, but,
none the less, the consumption
of wood grows larger every
year. For every substitute we
find for wood we find a dozen
new uses for it.
Michigan and Wisconsin
used to be the main source of
lumber supply. They were de-
vastated, and then the coastal
plain in the South was laid bare.
Now we are having to go out to
the Pacific coast for our lum-
ber."
Mr.. Cowles said that the cost
of hauling from the Pacific
coast added so much to Chica-
go's lumber bill that the city
could afford to pay for reforest-
ing the nearby denuded areas
where it used to get its supply.
Mr.. Cowles was accompanied
at the stereopticon by Mr.. Tot
ten.

Hill school who have distin-
guished themselves in athletics
have formed a club. Since each

Frank Mann, John Williams
Bob McIver, Marvin Dawson,

Jane Pratt Bayley, who came
here last week with Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Bayley from Springfield,
Ohio, wants the mumps-but
not for herself. Here is how
the matter stands: Jane is eX-
tremely fond of Chapel Hill.
She has been yearning for it
ever since she left. With her
from Ohio came seven-year old
Eldon Bayley, Jr. Joe Pratt

would be an excellent thing if
Eldon would catch them from
Joe, and have a long siege in

prolong indefinitely her visit
here.

5000 DOZ. EGGS
EATEN EACH WEEK
That Many Consumed in Chapel
Hill; Most of EN-
Shipped from Away
CHANCE FOR POULTRYMEN

chapel Hill and the University
consume 5000 dozen eggs a
week. Only about 200 dozen of
these are supplied by poultrymen
in the country around here, the
remaining $500 dozen being
shipped in from outside Orange
county.
This shows what a fine oppor-
tunity there is for profits from
poultry in this section. The
market is here crying to be sat
isfied. The people who buy
the eggs would far rather get
them nearby, for that means
the product is just that much
fresher. Farmers around Chap
el Hill have not, realized the ex-
tent of this opportunity, but
they are beginning to realize it.
An association of poultry breed
ers has been formed in Orange,
and campaign is in progress to
increase the number and size of
pure-bred flocks.
When men have started out
to make business of egg pro-
duction and have failed at it.
their failure to make money has
been due to their not going about
the job in the right way. They
have not supplied themselves
with good breeds, and generally
they have not fed their fowls
properly.
In short, they have not caused
their hens to lay regularly, but
have produced eggs only at
times when there was big pro-
duction, and have had none to
sell at times when they could
get the best prices. If poultry
men in the country around here
were prepared to supply Chapel
Hill, they could probably get an
average of between IS and 40
cents a dozen the year around.
Three thousand dozen eggs a
week, at 40 cents a dozen, is
$62,400 a year. If the average
price were only 35 cents the
years total would be $4,000.
The estimate of the consump-
tion of eggs in Chapel Hill was
made by the agriculture teachers
in the school and other men in
terested in the new poultry orga-
nization. 1t is the estimate not
for the college year alone but
for the whole twelve months.
The men who made the estimate
believe the total probably runs
above 5000 dozen, but they pre-
fer to underestimate rather than
run the risk of going too high.
Swain Hall alone uses 500 dozen
eggs a week.

Chapel Hill Chaf

In his talk last week the emf
nent botanist from Chicago, Mr..
Cowles, spoke of the distinc-
tion of North Carolina in being
the only place in the rl8grow-
ing the plant known as the "Ve-
nus flytrap." I am not so much
interested in this since l had
my windows screened. What l
want is a plant that will serve
as a mousetrap. l wish w. C.
Coker would discover one; if it
has to have a name taken from
mythology l suggest it be called
the Diana mousetrap, in honor
of the celebrated huntress.
/ admired Mr.. Coker's judg-
ment and enterprise in bringing
Mr.. CowIes here, but l am frank
to say that | was not enthuastic
about our own botanist's choice
of decorations for the lecture
room. A human skeleton occu-
pied a prominent place a few
feet from the speaker, with a
pose loose-jointed and floppy,
like James Kyser doing a clog
dance. On the table near the
or plaster, of a man lying on
or plaster, of a man lying on
his back with a number of his
inner sections visible. But Mr..
Coker brought Mr.. Cowles here
on very short notice and Of
course did not have time to
adorn the room with appropriate
plants and flowers.

There's nothing quite like the
sensation that an author has
when he first sees his produc-
tion in print. l had the pleasure
of being present the other day
when Roulhac Hamilton opened
the April issue of the American
Boy" containing his prize-win-
ming letter in the magazines
competition among parents.
The letters tell about the "Amer-
ican Boy" as a joy in the home.
Mr.. Hamilton took a $40 prize.
| notice that he refers to himself
in this letter as "a middle-aged
college professor" This is the
only thing in his piece that I
find to criticize. He is prema-
ture.
A few months ago l put up
some partitions in the printshop
and provided, in them, doors
that | thought would be ade-
quate to every need. But | felt
ashamed of myself as a design
er when our health officer, Dr..
Nathan, came in to see ME last
week. 1t was only with great
