Strowd in Big Deal
Former Chapel lillian Figures ii
Birmingham Project

Frank Strowd, son of Robert L.
Strowd and brother of Bruce
Strowd of Chapel Hill, has en-
barked upon big cotton mill ven
ture in Birmingham, Alabama. A
recent issue of the Age-Herald of
that city carried across the top
of it's front page the headline,
"Strowd- Holcombe Buys Preston
Motor Works" "
The Strowd- Holcombe Cotton
Mill, as the new concern is called,
has bought the plant and all the
equipment of the motor works,
which went into bankruptcy four
years ago. The purchase, which
represents an investment of about
$500, 900, includes a one-story brick
factory building with 10000 square
feet of floor space, a two-story Of
fee building, and 42-acre tract
of land.
Frank Strowd S chief associates
in the venture are Mrs. II. G..
Thompson, president of the Buck
Creek Cotton Mills, of which he is
vice-president and treasurer; II. II.
Holcombe,, vice-president of the
Holcombe Textile Equipment Com
pany of Birmingham; and DR.. j. A.
Hines of Siluria, Alabama.
"Our company has applied for a
charter under the laws of the state
Of Delaware" " Mr.. Strowd says,
"and Immediately after it is grant
ed we will begin the conversion Of
the newly purchased property into
one Of the most modern cotton
mills in the South. 4
eve expect to construct coop
erative houses for approximately
300 employees at the start. and ex-
pect to have the plant in operation
shortly after January l. We will
manufacture six to seven-yard cot
ton fabrics and sheetings."

Wake Forest Game
First Football Match of Season Here
Tomorrow Afternoon

The Carolina Wake Forest foot
bill game will be played here to-
morrow Saturday.
The first game of the season al
ways has its peculiar thrill, and the
University community is looking
forward to the event with lively in
terest. The graduate manager of
athletics, Charles T. Woollen; the
business manager of the team; and
all the assistant managers have
been busy making preparations,
and if the weather is good they
look for a big crowd from out of
town.
Coaches Bill and Bob Fetzer
have been giving the varsity squad
some hard practice these last few
days, and the general opinion on
the campus seems to be that Caro-
lima has an excellent chance of
winning.
AS usual, there is considerable
doubt about the lineup. 1t is as.
sumed that Epstein and Braswell
will go in as ends, and that Under
wood and Bonner will appear in
the backfeld. McIver, Robinson
and Whisnant hold the middle Of
the line. .Curlee and Morehead
will probably be the tackles. Jack
Cobb, the basketball star, is being
tried out at quarter and may be
there when the opening whistle
blows.

Beta Builds in Spring
Fraternity Perfects Plans for Home
on the Pickard Place

The Beta Theta Pi fraternity,
which bought the George Pick
ard place on Columbia street for
$25,OOO, is planning to begin the
construction of it's new building
next spring. The house will
cost about $4,000. The total
investment-land, house, and
furniture-will amount to about
$4,000.
Having sold it's old home to
the Delta Sigma Phi, the Beta
Theta Pi has already moved in
to the Pickard house, This ac-
commodities about 20 men, and
a dining room service is to be
established with a week or so.
This summer the canvass a.
mong the alumni was success
full beyond expectation, and it
looks as if less than one third
of the whole cost will be car
ried on mortgage.
Along toward the end of Feb
ruary the Pickard house will be
moved to the back of the 300
foot-deep lot. 1t will be split
into three houses, and these can
be rented for something like
$50 a month each. Fronting on
the school property, they will
have access both to Franklin
street and Cameron Avenue.
With the proceeds of the sale
of its old home, the fraternity
is already buying it's new furni-
ture.

Chapel Hill Chaf.

George Pickard Hogan's polite
ness, when I passed him Saturday
afternoon, was i'll rewarded. He is
four years old. He was standing
in front of his fathers bank, just
launching upon the consumption of
an ice cream cone. His little
brother, Jim Taylor Hogan, 16
months old, was in a baby car
riage beside him. George Pickard
turned to me, waving his free
hand in answer to my greeting ;
and as he turned, Jim Taylor,
gurgling with joy, leaned over the
side of the carriage, extended his
pink fat paw, and seized the bulg-
ing lump of ice cream.

Big MACHINE IS
DOING FAST JOB
LAYnNGPAVEMENT
Travels 500 Feet a Day on Cam.
erOn Avenue through
University Campus
RALEIGH ROAD IS NEXT

Inc monster paving mdcHluc 10
at work on Cameron Avenue
through the campus, moving about
500 feet a day and spewing forth a
six-inch concrete foundation across
roadway "a feet wide.
It started at the east campus gate
Monday, and before the workmen
get paid off tomorrow Saturday
afternoon, the foundation should
be in place all the way to the west
gate by the Carolina Inn. The
concrete will have to "cure" for
eight or ten days, apd then the
surface of Kentucky asphalt will
be laid on.
From gate to gate the paving
will be completed in time for the
big celebration, Monday, October
12, of the 5Oth anniversary of the
re-opening of the University in
1875.
Having laid the foundation
through the campus this week, the
pouring machine will make, next
week. a new start from where the
railway crosses the old Raleigh
road near the athletic field, and
will proceed northward, by the
east wall of the campus, to the
main street at the President 8
House. There it will turn west
and go along the left (south) side
of Franklin street to Columbia
street (Andrews corner), and there
again will make left turn and go
to the west campus gate. Then it
will switch over to the other side
of the present state highway in the
middle of the street and will lay
concrete on the north side Of
Franklin and the west side Of Co.
lumbia street, so tht these two
streets from the President s
House to the west campus gate,
will be paved from curb to curb.
1t is only the avenue inside the
campus that will have a surface of
asphalt. On the old Raleigh road
and on the streets the pavement
will be solid concrete like the state
highway now running through the
town.
Inside the campus the width of
the roadway is "a feet. Along
the old Raleigh road the width is
80 feet from the railway to the
Arboretum gate, at the southwest
corner Of the President s lot; from
there on to the main street, where
there are steep banks on both sides,
the road narrows to "a feet.
The 24-feet width within the
campus will give ample space for
traffic, because here no parking will
be allowed. Abundant parking
space is provided, however, ada
cent to the avenue. Automobiles
will be allowed to stand on the
broad way leading to the Alumni
building; on the road that runs
past the medical building to the
athletic field; in front of the gym
nasium between the Carr dormi-
tory and the Playmakers theatre; !;
back Of the South; between Ger
rard and Memorial halls; back of
Peabody; and back of the library.

VALDESIANS MAY
COME TO BUILD
FOR GIMCHOULS
Negotiations Are on with Ex-
pert Stone Workers of the
French Colony
A PRE-ARTHURIAN CASTLE

Valdesians, members Of the
French colony at Valdese in Burke
county, may come here to build the
stone castle of the Order Of Gim-
ghouls at Piney Prospect on the
edge of Battles Park. The colony Z
inclndes group of expert stone
workers of rare skill who put up
the celebrated Seely home on Sun
set Mountain just outside 0fAAshe-
vile.
T. F. Hickerson, member of the
Gimghouls' building committee,
has corresponded with them about
the project, and as soon as the
architects plans and certain finan-
cial arrangements have been COM
pleted he hopes to bring them to
Chapel Hill and get them started
on the job.
If they do come, it is likely that
they will camp in the woods close
by the site. Excavation is now in
progress, and great quantities Of
rock are piled up ready to be laid
in the walls.
Courtlandt Curtis, who was a
student here twenty-five years ago
and was a member of the Gim-
ghoulS, and who now teaches archi-
lecture at Tulane in New
Orleans, has drawn the plans for
the building. What he has de-
signed is structure of remote me,
diaeval Observation-Disclosures, or
perhaps pre-Arthurian. The out
standing feature is a circular
tower, and close beside this is a
smaller tower within which will be
a winding stairway leading to the
roof.
The exterior is severe, suggest
ing battles, and sieges, and knights
in armor sallying forth to cleave
their foemen's skulls with huge
axes; but the interior is adapted
to the demands of modern club life,
with provision for dressing rooms,
smoking rooms, electric lighting
and electric cooking, telephones,
and jazz. A stranger peeping
from the woods will see Launcelot
and Guinevere leaning over the
battlements in the moonlight, put
ting it over on the good King Ar
thur; but few minutes later, de-
hecting his sights downward to the
ballroom windows, he will see the
same couple as junior and flap
per engaged in a fox-trot.
The castle is to be approached
by a driveway from the west, curv-
ing under massive porte -cOchere,
or whatever a porte-cOchere was
called several centuries before that
term was invented. On the other
side will be a broad terrace over
looking the valley to the east.
The Gimghouls are enabled to
undertake this striking edifice
Through the development, as resi-
dental suburb, of park land which
they acquired few years ago.
They presented a large part Of
their tract to the University, and
on another part they have sold
forty-odd lots upon which about a
dozen homes have already risen.
They reserved for their own house
the wooded area that has been
known to Chapel Hill and the Uni
versity, for generations, as Piney
Droc,nnnt
