Learned Takes 5 Students North
By Motor to See Suns Eclipse

With five Of his students as
companions, Henry D. Learned,
member of the University facul-
ty in the department of Ro-
nance languages, went north by
automobile last week to see
Saturdays eclipse of the sun.
They could not get to New York
quite. on time, so they viewed
the wonder from northern New
Jersey, A few miles this side of
the city.
Mr.. Learned had expected
some of his friends in the fac
ulty to 60 along, but this plan
fell through. When he held his
class in French Friday morning
he told the students of the pro-
jected trip and asked if five of
them would like to go.
Not five, but ten, answered
yes. This made a difficulty,
for his car could accommodate
only five beside himself. The
problem was settled by the
casting of lots.
The six sky-gazers set out at
IL o'clock Friday morning.
They hit up a good pace and, de-
spite some bad stretches of road,
were able to make steady
progress. A half hour before
midnight they drove into WashS
ington. A brief halt there, and
they were off through Mary
land.
They kept the car going all
night. During this stage of the
journey the five who were not
driving did considerable sleep
ing; after a whole days travel
they were tired enough to sleep
without the encouragement OF
feather-beds and pillows. One
Of the students alternated with

AS they proceeded northward
the roads became icy and pre-
vented fast going. It was $3.50

Third Mail Carrier,
Addition of Another Delivery Route
viii Improve Service =.


There are now three mail car
riers, instead of two, in Chapel
Hll.. Under the new arrange
ment the University campus
constitutes a route by itself.
Formerly it was divided be-
tween the eastern and western
routes. ...
Henceforth there will .be one
man delivering mail through the
east end of town, one through
the University, and one through
the west end. The three. carri,
ers are: Dewey King, west
d: H. Poythress, east; and Rob.
ert Burch, University.
The volume of mail was toe
great for two. carriers. Each
would start from the post-off-
ice loaded down, and would Of
ten have to return there for an
other load before his round was
finished, The consequence was
that house that was supposed
to be reached both morning and
afternoon would sometimes be
reached only once a day.
For the morning delivery the
carriers leave the ost-office at
8 o'clock, and for the afternoon
delivery they leave at 1870
o'clock.

SCHOOL MAY BUY
PATTERSON PLACE
Already Has the Southern Part
and Hopes to Have Rest
Next Year
EXPANSION LIES AHEAD

The Chapel Hill school board
has bought a plot of land off the
rear (north) end of the Wallace
Patterson place, and in all like
1ihood will buy the whole prop
erty, all the way through to
Cameron avenue, within a year.
The plot just purchased, 1870
feet east-and-west by 12O feet
north-and-south, adjoins the
present school grounds. Thus,
when the rest of the place is
taken over, the school domain
will extend the entire block
depth from Franklin street to
Cameron avenue.

remaining part of Mr.. Patter-
sons property" said N. w.
Walker, secretary of the school
board, yesterday. ''The growth
of the town and the school will
soon compel us to have more
space. There is coming a
time when we must have a high
school separate from the ele-
mentary school; and we look
forward to using the Cameron
avenue site for a building that
will be used as a high school
and a demonstration school in
connection with the University's
school of education.

Philadelphia. The eclipse was
scheduled for about nine o'clock
in New York, and they saw
they were not going to make it
if they stuck to the car.
So they abandoned the car
and got on a train which, if it
ran up to schedule, would land
them in the metropolis on time.
But it was fourteen minutes
late. They detrained at New
ark, New Jersey, about a dozen
miles this side of New York,
rushed from the station to the
street, and piled into a taxi
cab.
Take us north," Mr.. Learned
ordered the driver, "and if you
get us to where we can see the
sun go out you'll get a ten-dol-
lar bonus" H.
The taxi man stepped on the
gas and made off with the six
men from Chapel Hill piled in
side. The car sspeeded up the
east bank of the Passaic river,
and as it speeded the occupants
saw shadow stealing over the
earth.
They came to a stop near the
little town of Rutherford, and
there got an excellent view of
what they had come to see. The
eclipse was not total at this
point, but nearly so.
None of the five students had
ever been to New York before,
so, when. the sun had passed
from behind the moon, Mr..
Learned led them beyond the
Hudson river and gave them a
peep at the big town. But they
could not stay long-they had
to be back in Chapel Hill for
work Monday morning. They
returned to Philadelphia by
train, picked up the car there,
and came on home. They rolled
into Chapel Hill at 4 o'clock
Monday morning.

Colds Burned Out
They Scattered All about the Town
Seeking Shelter
By Eunice Erwin

The stripping OF Russell Inn
when fire broke out last Satur-
day morning was accomplished
by firemen, students, and Co
eds as quickly as though they
were driven at the point of the
sword and with all the thorough
ness of inspection by a custom
house official. A thorough
search of the living quarters
three hours after the fire re-
vealed only one article left-a
toothbrush hanging inconspi-
cuously' behind an open door.
One coed was sewing peace
fully when warned of the fire
by the volunteer fire-fighters.
Others returned from downtown
or the campus to find their pos
sessions in the middle of the
road. Others saw their trunks
issuing from upstairs windows
and rolling down the roof.
My goldfish was carried down
to safety with all his belongings
"a packet of fish food gener-
Ously mixed in with the water
of the bowl. The rescuer, a
student, found the food separate
but threw it into the water in
order to consolidate the load.
No rats were observed leaving
the building.
At an informal exchange in
the street owners claimed their
property and made off with it
to various ~parts of the. town
where shelter was offered. The
only thing still unclaimed late
Saturday was a copy of Elinor
Glyn's PHILOSOPHY of Love-"
The refrigerator burst open
when tumbled from the back
porch onto the tennis court and
d generous supply of chocolate
cake and ham was revealed.
Some of the students immedi-
ately shifted their attention
from the work of rescue to the
refreshments.
i' ,t,'. o
Russell Inn was left standing
like a hesitant old dilapidated
beggar, as if twenty years had
passed since breakfast. 1t is
now ready for occupancy by
ghosts.

Chapel Hill Chaf

There is a student who works
in my printshop named Jack
Sronce. He is from Statesville.
l have always thought he was a
sensible yeuth, now l know that
his good sense comes, at least
in part, through inheritance.
His father was here at a football
game last fall, and observed the
cheer leaders. He said to his
son Jack, who sat beside him 4:
"You may be getting big and
strong, but Pm pretty husky
yet, and if l ever catch you
jumping about like a monkey
and yelling, like that, I'm going
to turn you back-end-up and
wear you out"
All We who have had servant
troubles, read this and deliver
yourselves up to envy: Uncle
jim Johnson has been working
for DIR. and Mrs. Charles Man
gum 81 years and in all that
time has missed but one day.
And this one lapse was due Ho a
raging toothache. DR.. Mangum
says that every morning cold
enough for a fire, since 1908,
just as the college bell has be-
gun to peal the hour of seven
he has heard Uncle Jim shaking
down the furnace. Thus the
Mangum family never knows
what it is not to arise to a well
warmed house.

U. M. W. OFFICIALS DENY
PLEDGE TO AID BRITISH,
LEWIS NOT INTERESTED

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. S.
Denial that the linked rhine work
ers of America had promised to aid
in the general strike of the British
miners, was made here on thursday,
while the British strike was still
expected, by Phil Murray, vice-presl-
dent, and Thomas Kennedy, secret
ary-treasurer, of the U. M. W. Of A.
when asked about a report from,
Paris that the American Mine Work
ers' Union had pledged itself to
"carry out any action the Miners
international would ask" Lewis,
when asked, said he was sleepy and
was going to bed. So much Sor his
interest in the British miners strike.
The report from Paris on THURS
day last quoted N. Vignez, secretary
of the Miners international as an
nouncing such a pledge had been
made in response to cable sent the
U. M. w. Of A. by Frank Hodges.
This is now officially denied by
Murray and Kennedy, who add that
they "are unable to explain MIR.
HODGES remarks" Evidently no re-
lance can be placed upon the off,
