Figures compiled by an investigator in New York
City show that not more than one killer in 50 ever

The detective profession seems to be suffering
from bad slump. There are good detectives bat not

In lieu Of genuine Sherlock Holmes, or a crop

Flee Stimulates Goat
E. P. Cate Has Found Good way of
Energizing PlOughbOy Assistant

E. P. Cate, the jeweler, whose
home is on Rosemary street has
been cultivating his vegetable
garden with the help of a plow-
ing goat for several years. He
has a plow, a tooth harrow, and
a cut-away harrow, all of a size
suitable for a goat.7
Until recently the goat went
at his work, enthusiastically e.
nough, but this season, in his
ninth year, he showed signs of
languor; in fact, he almost went
to sleep on the job.
That, the neighbors of Mr..
Cate say, is why he got a flee
dog to supplement the garden
ing force. The function of the
flee is to keep the other animal
awake and urge him on. This
he does by barking and grewl-
ing, and occasionally by snap
ping at the goats heels.
When the jeweler first got
the goat, along with a wagon,
it was for the children.
GAS soon as the novelty wore
off," he says, "they lost inter-
est. I noticed the goats big
strong launches, and it occur
red to me that he might as well
help cultivate my garden. |
made a plow out of an old hose
reel, and later tried him with
harrows. With all three he
proved a good worker. And he
never seems to want to eat any
of the vegetables that he helps
raise"

PICKARDLOTSOLD
TO beta THETAPI
Home on Columbia Street
Brought $25,OOO, or about
$3.50 a Front Foot
MISSES PICKARD TO BUILD

The heirs of the late George
Pickard have sold the house and lot
on Columbia street to the Beta Theta
Pi fraternity for $4,000. Mr.. Pick
ard bought the place 16 years ago for
$4,000.
The fraternity will take possess
sion September Is, will move the old
house, and wills, then erect a build
ing that will cost around $5O,O0O.
This investment of $4,000 will take
rank as the largest made by any fra
ternity here. The D. X. E. house at
the corner of Columbia avenue is said
to have cost about $4,000, and the
site on which it stands is worth pos.
sibly $4,000
The junior order of Gimghouls is
no doubt the richest of all Univer-
sity student organizations, on the
basis of equity. 1t bought a large
tract in Battles Park a few years
ago for four or five thousand dollars,
gave considerable part of it to the
University, sold off enough lots to
pay for a house that is to cost a.
bout $4,000, sold it's land at Boun-
dary and Rosemary streets for about
$4,000, and still has lot of land left
on the edge of Battles Park.
Misses Bertha, Mittie, and Myrtle
Pickard, the daughters of George
Pickard who now live in Chapel Hill,
have bought the lot that forms the
northwest corner of the H. H. Will
Hams place, opposite A. C. Mcintosh
and H. M. Wagstaff, at Boundary and
Rosemary streets, and will build a
home there. The excavation for the
foundations is. expected to begin in
a few days, and construction will
proceed rapidly.
The profit realized from the sale
of the home on Columbia street is
one more evidence of the rise in the
value of Chapel Hill real estate in
recent years. The house, old and
destined soon to be destroyed, is
counted out in the fixing of value.
The lot is what the fraternity paid
for, and, with a frontage of ITO feet,
it brought the owners approximately
$3.50 a front foot.

Hardly will the echoes of the
commencement speeches have
died away when Director N. w.
Walker and his satellites will
launch the thirty-eighth session
of the University Summer
School.
Friday, June 1.-two weeks
from tomorrow-is the day
when registration will begin,
and the enrolling of the stu
dents will continue until Sat-
urday night. Class work will
begin promptly at 8 o'clock
Monday morning, the 18th. The
first term closes July 21. The
second term begins July % and
closes August 20.
Applications already filed in
dicate that the attendance will
be certainly asfgreat as, perhaps
greater than, it was last year.
In 1924 there were 1,483 stu
dents in the first term and 623
in the second. Cutting out du-
plicates-counting only once

through the entire twelve weeks
Lose women and GA men
were enrolled.
1,15O Students on Campus
All the dormitories on the
campus-except the South
Building, which will be under
repair-are to be occupied. AL
together, 1,15O students will be
quartered in them.
An innovation is the assign
ment of an entire building, the
Carr, to married couples. Last
summer they had only small
sections of the Old East and Old
West. Babies are not mentioned
in the formal announcement, but
experience justifies the assump-
tion that there will be some of
them living on the campus, too.
They come without invitation
from the Summer School au-
thorities, and thus far nobody
has ventured an objection.

Inn Ready for Finals
Alumni and Organizations Make.
Reservations for Commencement

The Carolina Inn is making
ready for it's first commence
ment.
Already alumni are beginning
to write in for rooms, and some
of them are taking suites for
their families. The ballroom has
been reserved for entertain
ments-dinners, luncheons, and
dances-by various organiza-
tions.
The Inn is useful to Chapel
Hill, of course, all during the
year, but especially at times like
commencement when visitors
pour in. For a generation alum
nj and other friends of the Uni
versity have been yearning for
a place to stay when they come
here, and now at last they have
it.
Among those who have filed
their applications for rooms are
Felix Harvey, Nathan Mobley,
Walter Murphy, R. r. Steele,
John L. Patterson, and w. M.

MANY OF FACULTY
WILL NOT RETURN
End Of College Year Brings
News of Losses to Univer-
sity Teaching Force
OTHER INSTITUTIONS GAIN

Besides Edwin Greenlaw, whose ac-
ceptance of a professorship at Johns
Hopkins was announced some time
ago, many members of the present
University faculty have resigned
their positions in response to calls
from other institutions.
R. R. Roseborough, after one year
here as assistant professor Of Latin,
becomes head of the department OF
Latin in Duke University.
Frederick Hard will be an assis-
tant in English at Johns Hopkins
where he will pursue, still under Mr.
Greenlaw, his researches in the hne
arts of the Elizabethan period.
]. M. Williams, for the last two
wears an instructor in English, will
go to Amherst.
Theodore Fitch leaves the music de-
uartment to return to his home in
Rochester, N. Y, and study for his
masters degree under Goossens, the
guest conductor of the Rochester
Symphony Orchestra, and Hansen
the American composer. For a month
or so during the winter Mr.. Fltch
will be in New York City with Coos
sens.
G. B. Zehmer, who for two years
has served as head of the department
.of the extension division, has re-
signed to accept the position OF chief
of the extension division at the Uni
versity of Virginia. Director Smell
plans to take over, himself, MIR. Zeh-
mer's duties.
MF. Vining, who is now in hos
pital in Florida, is expected not to
return. and Russell M. Grumann, re-
Gently of Teachers College, Columbia
University, has been engaged as MS
successor. Mr.. Grumann will report
for duty in Chapel Hill August l.
The cut in the extension DIVISIONS
budget has made it impossible to pro-
vide full-time work for Miss Pearl
Setter, and so she will probably go
elsewhere. This year she has been
working on a part-time basis.
R. T. Little, instructor in French
is another who is not expected 10 De
here next fall.
P. l.. Elliott, who was here on
leave from the Mars Hill college ana
was serving as an instructor IN En-
o,;sb will return to Mars Hill.

Chapel Hill Chaf

One of the advantages of liv-
ing in a University town is that
you have at hand experts on a
wide range Of subjects. A bot
tie Of iodine was spilled on a
porcelain basin in my house, and
the hideous stain would not
yield to Dutch Cleanser or any
thing else we tried. I met AL
vim S. Wheeler at the post-of-
flee and pressed him for free ad-
vice. Try peroxide of hydrogen,
he said. And the peroxide re-
moved the blight in less than a
minute. Therefore l commend
Mr.. Wheeler as a magician of
the highest rank.
- So
And then there is the faculty
man who you Unexpectedly find
has talents outside his speciality.
Paul Green, playwright and phil
osopher, drifted into the print
shop just at the moment when
we had been thrown into despair
by a misbehaving typewriter
key. Paul looked at it a mo-
ment, and, with the help of a
straw from a whisk-broom and
a drop or two of oil, tanned it
completely.
On Monday of this week the
University seniors issued forth
upon the campus and the streets
with canes and striped .red-and-
black ties. l thought we'll of
these adornments, but many of
the seniors whom | met had a
sort of shame-faced look, much
like that seen upon the faces of
the students who walk the street
in fantastic garb when initiated
into a secret society. One young
man, standing in line at the
package window in the post-of-
flee, dropped his cane on the
floor. It made a loud clatter and
as he stopped to pick it up his
face turned fiery-red from en-
barrassment.

No longer will the village be
