Edwin Key Leaves School

Edwin Key, who came here in
September as a teacher in the
Chapel Hill school, has resigned
his position. This comes about
because he has obtained a schol-
arship in Peabody College, Nash
vile, Tennessee, and will go
there at once for graduate
training. He will be succeeded
by w. L. Robinson, Jr., a gradu-
ate of Davidson, who has been
pursuing advanced studies in
the University since September.

FIREPROTECTION
IS URGENT NEED
OF THE VILLAGE
Lack of Big Enough Water
Mains Constitutes a
Real Danger
ALDERMEN STUDY MATTER

One of the most urgent prob
lens now facing Chapel Hill is
that of affording adequate fire
protection throughout the viii
lage.
In the last three or four years
so many homes have been con-
structed in the suburbs" that a
considerable proportion of the
population lives beyond where
fire can be successfully attacked.
And, further in, the hazard has
been increased by erection of
homes on vacant lots, bringing
buildings closer together and
thereby making it easier for fire
to spread.
For really efficient freight
ing the firemen should be able to
feed their hose from a six-inch
main. But at present mains as
large as this run under only a
rfew of the streets. Rosemary
lane west of Columbia street,
Franklin street west of Mallett,
and Franklin east of the Lawson
home, and Cameron avenue west
of the old T. J. Wilson home,
have only the smaller mains.
One four-inch line along Pitts
boro street brings all the water
available for fire protection for
all that section of the town. For
example, if there should. be a fire
toward the west end of Vance
street, dependence would have
to be placed upon small stream
that could be brought through
the hose from this four-inch
main.
The University owns the wa
ter plant, but reduced appropria-
tions have clipped University ac-
tivities here as in other depart
ments, and no money is available
for extensions. Therefore the
board of aldermen is trying to
work out a plan whereby the
municipality shall do the neces-
sary construction. Some sort of
action to that end is regarded
by the mayor, the town mana
ger, the fire chief, and others
conversant with the situation,
as a prime necessity.

MACGREGOR SEES
THIS AS WINTER
GOLFIlNG RESORT
Thinks Players from the North
Would Find Climate Here
Agreeable Enough
LIKES THE CREEK VALLEY

10 MacGregor, the golf pro-
fessional who came last month
and will remain until spring,
says that Chapel Hill ought to
become popular winter resort
for golfers.
I've been about a good deal,
and had a taste of various eli
mates, hot, medium, and cold,"
he said as he sat at a table in
the drugstore day or so ago,
"and | don't see why this place
shouldn't be fine for winter-time
golf"
"But you haven't felt January
and February yet" one of his
listeners suggested.
Never mind. I know YOU
have some rotten weather, of
course. But you're mistaken if
you think most golfers who come
South insist on golf every day
of the week. They don't. If
they can get in a day now and
then, and have other things to
do-as they will have here in
Chapel Hill-they'll not kick"
Mr.. MacGregor was born in
a clubhouse on the edge Of the
famous st. Andrews links in
Scotland. His father was, and
still is, an expert maker of golf
sticks. 10 and his brothers were
brought up on golf. They learn
[ ed to talk about brassies and
mashies about as soon as they
found out how to call for the
milk bottle.
w. S. Robertson, who is de-
veloping the Davie Woods tract
east of the village, >dong the
Durham road, engaged the Scot
to come here and study the land
with an eye to golfing possibili-
ties. Mr.. MacGregor still thinks
that the Bolin creek valley and
the nearby hills-upstream from
the one-mile bridge-make the
best place hereabouts upon
which to build a course at mod
crate cost.
There's not so very much
clearing to do" he says, "and
not great deal of grading, or
rock to get out of the way. The
green's should be sand. Grass
green's are all right if you have
plenty of money to spend on
piping, and water rentals, and
labor-but they do cost. They
have a special colorless oil now
which keeps sand greens in fine
shape. 1t prevents them from
being washed, and also prevents
the sand from being blown away
by the wind"

Drift

The newspapers, chronicling
the death of the Baltimore man
who erected a memorial to
Adam, tell that Robert Quillen,
editor, of Fountain Inn, South
Carolina, writer for the Satur-
day Evening Post and a regular
contributor to the editorial page
of the Baltimore Evening Sun,
has put up, in the front yard of
his home, a monument to Eve.
Eve" he says, 'was a fair and
charming young lady, and de-
serves a finer monument than |
have provided for her. She was
a distant relative Of mine, on
my mothers side, the first lady
of the land, and a reigning belle
in her day." None of her other
kinsmen have erected stone to
her memory, and the South Car
Gilman says this monument is
an effort to atone for the un-
pardonable neglect of her by her
posterity.
According to the published
despatch, the inscription on the
monument is: "In memory of
Eve, the first woman" It is a
pity that Mr.. Quillen could not
add to this the poem on Eve
written last summer for the
News and Observer by Nell Bat
tie Lewis. Perhaps there is not
room enough for the lines; but
he might add a bronze tablet to
accommodate them. | reprinted
the poem the week after it ap-
peared, but this new mention of
Eve justifes it's repetition. Here
it is:
Musing, in Eden's cloudless primal
day,
Upon the fruit of that forbidden
tree,
Eve pondered on creations mystery,
Wondering if it were death to disobey
So stern mandate as upon her lay
From her Creator, given jealousy,
That good and evil, by divine decree,
Should not be known to Jah's new
nodded clay.
A whisper in her heart-no serpent's
hiss,
But a bright hint of countries
- strange and fair
"Spurn Eden's idle peace, and nobly
dare;
This fruit is Liberty-brave God for
this!"
And on the spirits free and peri
lous height,
She tasted pain and danger and de-
light.

Fire at Zeta Psi House

A spark from 'an open fire in
the Zeta Psi house flew out up
on a rug Sunday night. The rug
blazed, and the floor took fire
from it. An alarm brought the
fire company, and soon the blaze
was out. Damage, about $3.50.

Chapel Hill Chaf

There is no limit to the fool
ish acts and speeches that re-
suit from Observation-Disclosures.
The other day was fussing a.
bout my Ford car, looking un-
der books and packages for my
pipe-and Paul Green discovered
it for me in my mouth. R. P.
Harris delivered some eggs at a
kitchen door last week just as
the cook was drawing a pan of
biscuits from the stove. He
was in a big hurry and he want
ed a receptacle. 1t occurred to
him that the cook might empty
the pan and let him pile the
eggs in it. He meant to ask for
the pan, but what he really did
say, as he looked straight at
the biscuits, was: "Just give
me that biscuit, will you" This
embarrassed him and startled
the cook. A University student
who is specializing in philosophy
came downstairs from his room
a. day or so ago and complained
TO the woman who owned the
house that his room was unbear-
ably cold. There's plenty of
heat in the bathroom" he said,
but it doesn't seem to reach me-"
She went upstairs and found
that the hot-air register was
closed; a flip of the finger open
ed it and the heat game pouring.
I have had a suspicion for
some time that | was the cause
of DIR. Nathan's resolution to re-
duce-a resolution which, as all
the village knows, he has carri-
ed through successfully. At
the west door of my printing
shop I had to build very mar
row stair platform, because OF
the lack of ground space. The
steps come up at the narrow
end, and the visitor has to pass
between the brick wall and the
railing post. Persons of ordl-
nary size can make the passage
but one day DR.. Nathan tried it
and had to retreat and come a
round by the front door. 1t was
shortly after this that he start
ed in on his starvation diet.
Somebody told me day or so
ago that Thomas H. Raney al
ways paid his light-and-water
bill in cash over the counter be-
cause he objected to writing on
a check such a long name as the
University Consolidated Ser
vice Plants. In this he has my
sympathy. 1t is bad enough to
have to pay this bill at the end
of each month, but when you
have to use up a bottle of ink
to do tit is too much. If they
would simply call the Organiza-
ton J. S. Bennett, it would sat
isfy me. The performance of
this monthly chore might as we'll
be made as brief and painless as
possible.

Now York. July %, - (By NEA service) The most reliable hurler on the Giants staff at present Is Kent Greenfield, McGraw's rookie right-hander.

 He also copped the opening game of the series with the Pirates keep ing his nerve even after Cuyler and Moore had laced out successive pitches in the first inning.
 Greenfield came to the Giants in 1923 from the Virginia league. He cost but q moderate sum in these days of high priced players He wasn't quite ready at that time however. and was sent to New Haven where he had fair record.

DEMPSEY OR KEARNS MUST
 MEET WITH COMMISSION
Two Weeks is Limit Given to Hcayy- weight Champion to Sign Up
 For Wills Bout

New York, July 22 PN-Jack Dempsey or his legitimate manager must return from the Pacific coast in two weeks, and arrange with the New York boxing commission to fight Harry Wills, or be debarred from fighting In the state, or un- crowned or something such.
 The commission yesterday de- ferred action on the matter for a fortnight when informed by Tex Rickard that the champion would return as soon as he completed busi- ness on the coast. The commission refused to do business by proxy.
 On his way west Dempsey said at Omaha yesterday that at Los An geles he was going to settle up af- fairs with Jack Kearns and be his own manager when his contract with Kearns expires year from next month. Tn view of this statement, it is presumed that Dempsey himself and not Kearns, will appear before the commission within the stipulated time.
 At Los Angeles last night Kesrns said that atfer he had chat with Dempsey they probably would be together again but that if Jack really wanted to be his own man ager, why all right.
 Harry Greb. middleweight cham pion. is the latest avowed contender for nempseys crown. He con- ferred yesterday at Chicago with Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter, about his ambitions.

(BY BILLY ENANSl

When Ray Schalk veteran back stop of the Chicago White Sox, passes from the majors, he must be credited with setting a new style for Catchers.
 Schalk, has for all time definitely established the fact that it is not necessary to be big husky to makt good in the majors back of the bat.
 Schalk, small of stature as big loaguers so, has already engraved his name in baseball's hall of fame as one of the greatest catchers that ever donned q mask.
 Hes too small. He wouldn't be able to stand the strain of regu- lar work in the ajors."
 That in substance was the opinion of practically every major league scout that watched Schalk perform back in 1912 with Milwaukee of the American Association.
 Chicago Gambles With Schalk
 Chicago needed a catcher badly to take the place Of Billy Sullivan who had passed the peak of his game. The Milwaukee club insisted on something like s15,OO0 for Schalk, lot of money in those days. Owner Comiskey of the White Sox took a gamble and it proved the best money he ever spent.
 When the diminutive Schalk re- ported to the White Sox, the idea of him catching the 20O-pounder, Ed Walsh, famous spitball pitcher, was ridiculed, Schalk stepped right in and made the task look easy.
 Then 10 prove that class rather than bulk makes great catcher, he proceeded to catch 100 or more games for II consecutive seasons.
 At the close of the present season he will have smashed by d consider able margin all endurance records for catching in the major leagues.
 Muddy Ruel Another Example
 Now just as Schalk is nearing the end of his days as the premier catcher of the American if not the majors, Muddy Ruel of Washington entetrs the scene bidding for the honor.
 Last season Ruel worked 147 games for Washington and caught superhly. When the season started he weighed 154. when it closed he weighed 135.
 Tn strain of the race and the ia. on the physique by working every day, caused Ruel to lose ls pounds but at the finish, while a trif. groggy he was turning in his usua high class work.
 No longer do major league scout, pass up promising catchers who are lacking in physique.
 The great success that has come 10 Ray Schalk and Muddy Rue, bs, for the present, If not for all time destroyed the belief that 8 hir league catcher must be a big huskI | athlete
