George Gets Cartridges
WinstOns Have Good Reason for Civ
ing Him Ammunition

Why is every member of the
Winston family deciding upon
cartridges as a Christmas gift to
George, the 15-year-old heir-ap-
parent of the household?
The answer becomes easy
when one learns something of
the boys hunting record of the
last few days.
The very first day he went out
with his double e-barreled shot
gun, Wednesday of last week, he
came home with a quail. The
next day with quails and rab-
bits. The next with a couple of
squirrels. And so it goes. He
is proving to be a natural-born
marksman. The family is feed
ing happily upon the game.
His gun is a gift from his
mother. She used it in her girl
hood days, when she went hunt
ing with her father in MisSis-
sippi. Ever since, she has been
keeping it in good order for her
son

The Wheelers Scatter

Since the birth of the Alvin
S. Wheelers' youngest son, Hen
ry, this will be the first Christ
mas when the family has not
been together. Mrs. Wheeler
left Wednesday for Portland,
Oregon, and from there will go
with her sister to Tacoma,
Washington, for the holidays.
William, who is at the Harvard
school of business administra-
tion this year, will be with Mr..
and Mrs. Charles l.. Raper in
Syracuse. Henry is IN Casio
MIA for a seven weeks coopera-
tive engineering session with
the Southern Power Company.
He and Mr.. Wheeler will meet
in Charlotte for dinner Christ
mas Dav. Mr.. Wheeler may go
to Florida afterward.

The Old Grad

w. o. Mcclellan, veteran
newspaper writer on sport and
other topics, pays his respects,
in the New York Herald-Tri-
bune, to the alumni-the "Old
Grads American colleges.
"The Old Grads" he says,
"are responsible for all the evils
charged against collegiate ath-
letics. The business of prosely-
ting (recruiting athletes for the
colleges by dubious methods at
times) is never done by the un-
dergraduates. 1t is always the
work of the Old Grads, who have
not the scruples of the young
sters when it comes to going out
and getting a backfeld for the
team.
"Of course the Old Grad in
terferes on the pretense that it
is his solicitude for the moral
welfare Of the younger genera
ton. But what the Old Grad
wants is a winning football team
for the university so that he
may gloat over the old grad of
the rival university, and he does
not care how that winning foot
ball team may be acquired
Mr.. McGeehan says there are
two kinds of Old Grads that are
particularly offensive: the pro-
fessional Old Grad and the Old
Grad who never grows up.

collegiate Peter Pans clutter up

Not Charles Baby
Mr.. Gold Was Merely Temporary Gus
tOdian Of Young Miss Mildred

AS the Carolina Playmakers
were about to set out by bus for
Reldsville last week Charlie
Gold of Greensboro, who plays
the part of the quack doctor in
"Quare Medicine" was observed
with a fine fat baby in his arms
This startled many of his friends
who passed along the street
since they were not only not a.
ware that Mr.. Gold was a father
but didn't even. know he was
married. AS a matter of fact,
he isn't either one or the other.
The baby was Mildred Sheriff.

NEW STRETCH OF
PAVEMENT OPENED
Part of the Mile from Inn to
Morgan Creek Bridge Is
Now in Use
MUCH WORK DONE IN 1925

The state highway commits
sion has laid all the concrete
from the Carolina Inn at the
west campus gate to the Nor
gan's creek bridge near the old
Purefoy mill site, on the Pitts
boro-Pinehurst highway, and
has opened to traffice the
stretch from the bridge up to
the junction of Pittsboro street
and the highway.
The stretch nearest town,
from that junction to the Inn,
will be opened within a few days.
At present the southbound
traveller from Chapel Hill goes
along Cameron avenue westward
from the west campus gate,
turns left into Pittsboro street,
and goes through Pittsboro
street, to the new highway pave
ment. This short detour is in
good condition, since both Cam
eron avenue and Pittsboro have
recently been graded and are
bordered by curbs and cutters.
This year of 1925 has seen
more work done to improve the
street surfaces than has ever be-
fore been done in Chapel Hill.
Frnklin street and Columbia
street, from the Presidents
House through the business dis
trict to the west campus gate,
have been paved from curb to
curb; the University has paved
Cameron avenue through the
campus, and the old Raleigh
road from the athletic field to
Franklin street; and a number
of blocks have been made over
by grading, the construction of
curbs and cutters, and graveling.
Town Manager Knox says
that a final calculation shows
that the paving of Franklin and
Columbia streets cost, altogeth-
er, $4,000. OF this the town
has to pay one third, or $4,000 ;
the remaining two-thirds of the
cost is borne by the property
holders along the paved blocks.

BOARD STUDIES
IMPROVEMENTS
Committee of the Aldermen Is
Mapping out Program fol"
the Coming Year
REPORT DUE. IN JANUARY

A committee of the Chapel
Hill board of aldermen is work.
ing out plan of public improve
ments, mainly with regard to
streets, to be undertaken next
spring and summer. It's report
will probably be presented to
the board in January.
The committee is composed of
G.. M. Braune, B. S. Williams,
and NJ. E. Hogan. Their purpose
is to present a definite program,
SO that the town government
may know just what it faces in
the way of expenditure.
This last year or so street i'm
provements have been author
lied singly, without any particu-
lar reference to the needs of the
community as a whole. A group
of citizens would hand in a pc
tition to have curbs and cutters
built along a certain block; and
another group in another part of
the village would do likewise;
and, although the property own
ers bore a considerable part of
the cost, the aldermen found
themselves authorizing outlays
that might grow too big.
Now the idea is that the board
shall not content itself with
waiting for proposals from citi-
zens but shall make a survey of
the situation and determine, on
its own account, what improve
ments are most urgently needed,
so that the available money may.
be used for these.
Several petitions for curb
and-guttering are still awaiting
action because, at the end of
last summer, the aldermen de-
cided to hold off until they could
have, as it were, a check-up.

Carols Christmas Eve
Will Be Sung in Various Parts o
the Village

Under the auspices of the
Community Club, a chorus will
go about the village and sing
Christmas carols in the streets
next Thursday, the night be-
fore Christmas.
They will gather at half past
seven o'clock at the Presbyterian
church, and everybody who
would like to take part in the
singing is invited to join the
group. George Lawrence has
arranged for an adequate num-
ber of automobiles.
The carolers' first stop is to be
at the east end of Franklin street
near the MacNider and Saville
homes. Thence they will go to
Park place; 10 rosemary lane,
near the Venables'; to the Presi-
dents House; to the corner at
Mrs. Fred Patterson's; to Vance
and Ransom streets; to McCau-
ley street; to the corner of Cam
eron avenue in front of the Co.
mer's; and to West Franklin
street at the Toys.
Altogether, the tour will last
about an hour and a half. In
case of stormy weather it will
have to be called off.

Drift

Hatcher Hughes, who gradu.
ated from the University here
in 1907 and has since won fame
as a playwright, made a talk in
the Playmaker Theatre the other
evening. 1t was a good illustra-
tion of how much more interest
ing narrative is than exposition
or criticism. Of the state of
the drama in America, of the
opportunity of young North
Carolina play-writers, of the
work of the Carolina Playmak-
ers-of these topics Mr.. Hughes
disposed in a few words. He de-
voted most of his hour to telling
of his experience in getting
"Hell-bent fer Heaven" produc-
ed.
X " II
The first performance was
given in the little town of Pat
chogue, Long Island, at a time
when some sort of convention of
Super-pious people happened to
be in progress. The audience
was indignant at the play and
hissed loudly. at the end of each
act. In Stamford a free-ticket
audience had to be got together
it was made up mostly of house
maids and others who had not
the faintest conception of what
the play meant and most of
whom left the theatre before the
third act. In Trenton the re-
sponse was not much better.
The producing manager got cold
feet and refused to put the play
on in New York. He said he had

Dodge Will Cut Prices
Company Announces Reductions for
All Who Buy After December Is

An event that promises to be
of nationwide significance in
the automobile industry is the
prlce-cut which Dodge Brothers
announce this week. The an
nouncement in Chapel Hill is
made by their agent, Ralph Pen
dergraft.
Just how much the reductions
will amount to, on the several
models, is not yet known. The
manufacturers say they will
publish the figures Thursday,
January 7.
A unique feature of the price
cut is that it will be retroactive
when the new prices are made
known January T." says the bull
letin, "the full amount of the
reductions will be Immediately
refunded to all purchasers since
December 15." 1t is further
stated that the reductions are
made possible "by a recently
completed $1O,OOO,OOO expansion
program-new buildings and e.
quipment that will nearly double
the capacity of Dodge Brothers
factories in 1926"

Frogs Balk Miss Ross
Compelled to Find Them Quarters,
She Misses Lecture

Miss Daisy Ross didn't get to
the Hatcher Hughes lecture last
Saturday highland all on ac-
count of a lot of frogs.
AS assistant to Business Man
ager Charles T. Woollen Miss
Ross has to concern herself, at
one time or another, with every
thing from a half-million-dollar
building for Messrs. Venable and
Bell down to lead pencils for
Bob Madry. And one of her re-
curing duties is to order vari-
Gus kinds of animals upon which
the University's scientists con-
duct experiments; not only to
order them but also to see that
they are delivered.
Frogs seem to have a way of
arriving in Chapel Hill at just
the hour when the express Of
flee and the University offices
are about to close, or sometimes
after the closing. And so it
was Saturday night.
Miss Ross had ordered six and
a half gross-which means not
far from 1,0O0-grass frogs. DIR.
William de B. MacNider was all
on edge to get at them. He met
Miss Ross on the street, after
supper, and inquired if the little
visitors had come. Inquiry de-
veloped that they'had-but they
were locked up in the express
office. The agent was found,
and that part of the problem
was solved. Then Dean" An
dy Johnson, the negro janitor
of the medical building, had to
be searched for, so that he could
unlock the room where the frogs
are quartered prior to execution.
The minutes had slipped by,
and as the frogs laid them down
to a peaceful rest, recking not
the fate that awaited them at
the hands of MacNider, Bullitt,
ct al, Miss Ross slipped over to
the Playmakers Theatre. 1t was
about ten minutes past the time
when Mr.. Hughes was to start.
George Denny, business mama
ger of the Carolina Playmakers !;
John Booker, chairman of the
meeting; or somebody else in
authority had decreed that this
was not to be one of those lee
lures where people keep drift
ing in after the appointed hour,
interrupting the speakers train
of thought. Or maybe it was ac-
cidental. Anyway, the door was
locked tight. So Miss Ross went
on home, taking what satisfac-
tion she might from the consci-
BUSINESS of duty nobly done.

Chapel Hill Chaf

The yard in front of the news
paper shop has had many visits
of late from the goat of my
neighbor, E. P, Cate-the cele-
brated blowing goat whose Prov
ess in helping his master make
a garden was duly celebrated in
these columns last year. But
this is not the plowing season,
and so the goat has leisure for
wandering. For several days he
nibbled harmlessly at the grass
under my willow tree. There
were vines and flowers and ivy
shoots along the side of the
building, but these he did not
touch, which seemed to bear out
what Mr.. Cate had told me of
the animals remarkable virtue
in not eating the vegetables in
the garden. AS the goat came
near one day l began to feel a
sort of proprietary interest in
him, and boasted to all comers
of his good behavior. Then |
got a heavy jolt. Coming back
from luncheon the other day |
found that the visitor, firing of
mere grass, had come over to
the building and eaten up a row
of flowers as we'll as the ivy and
other vines that had begun to
creep up the brick wall. Now I
have besought his owner to
tether him securely at home, so
that the plants may flourish a.
gain.

SPAIN is PLANNING
MOTOR SPEEDWAY

BARCELONA, January 5.-The race
for the Grand Prix will in 1926 take
place in Spain and the Real Automo-
bile Club is confronted with the task
of finding Il course suitable for a con-
test of such Importance, in which
enormous speeds may be expected.
Spanish motorists are aware of the
DEFICIENCIES of their highways, but
they may be relied upon to see that
the course on which the race is to
be run is brought up to modern re-
quirements.
In the first place, it has been de-
cided to construct near Madrid a
new speedway, which will be the
largest in the world, a company has
been formed in Madrid with a capital
of four millions OF pesetas, and the
ground necessary has been purchased
at Cantillejas, not far from the
Madrid-Alicante Road
The directors of this new company
are making arrangem tents whereby a
part of the race for the Grand Prix
Of 1926 shall be run on the new way:
to this effect the adjacent roads which
are considered suitable for the con-
test viii be joined up with the auto
dome, thus forming a circuit which
will be similar to that at Monza.
Horse racing and other sports will
also he possible on the new speed
way, owing TO its immense size. 1t
is expected TO be finished within a
year.
