What | mean by being in session,
the tax bill was up for debate and
they were arguing on Better Golf
courses for the medium salaried
man." | suppose if the World
Court bill had been up, they would
have been talking on "Shall Amer

Well, then | went over to the
Senate. They had adjourned, so |
felt that America was not having
such a bad day at that. We were
only so percent inefficient THAT
DAY.
You know we all joke and kid
about Congress, but we can't inn
prove on them. Nomatter who we
elect, he is just as bad as the one he
replaced. So with all their faults
we love 'em. They are as good as
the people who vote to put them
there, and they are 10 times better
than the ones who don't vote at all.
They are like "Bull' Durham,
they are not perfect, but they are

Cultivation stimulates root action.
conserves moisture. keeps down weeds
increases the available plant food and
aerates the soil
A method Is merely a means to an
end-it is not an end in itself.
Does a man who works half as long
and does twice as much get as much
done as the man who works twice as
long and does only half as much?
If little paint is supposed to help
a woman's looks, we might well try it
out on our farm buildings.
Malaria is estimated to be the direct
or indirect cause of one-half of the
mortality of the human race.
The relative income from machinery

Dashiell Picks Team
New York World Publishes Selection
Of Chapel Hill Boy

Dick Dashiell, son Of John +.
Dashiell, professor in the Uni
versity, figures prominently on
the sporting page Of the New
York World under the headline,
Chapel Hill Is Heard From. "
The World is conducting a
Babe Ruth All-American Base
ball Team contest, and Dicks
choice is the subject of the story.
Here is the team he picks:
"Centerfield, Combs, New
York American; second base,
Hornsby, st. Louis National /;
third base, Traynor, Pittsburgh
National; Shortstop, Wright,
Pittsburgh National; left field,
Meusel, New York American
right field, Cuyler, Pittsburgh
National; first base, Burns,
Cleveland American; catcher,
Hargrave, Cincinnati National ;
pitchers, PennOck, New York
American, and UhIe, Cleveland
American.
Dick accompanies the list with
comments telling why he picked
each man. The fan selecting the
same team that has been select
ed by Babe Ruth wins the first
prize Of 500; if no one selects
the exact team of Ruth's the
prize goes to the nearest. The
second prize is $75, third $50,
fourth $25, and there are six
more cash prizes of $40 each.
In addition there will be IL bats
and IL balls autographed by
Babe Ruth.

filed the only vacant place, and
he was not full either. Have you
ever met a loquaciOus Scot ?
Well, he was one. He inquired
about each ones address and
business and we have yet to
learn about him. His Scotch ac-
cent was delightful and when |
filtered out the words from the
burrs, | found that he knew
everything nearly about this
part of Scotland, and when |
told him that ! had come to my
grandparents birthplace, he was
even more affable and picked me
out for the special favor Of

rived at Edinburgh.

Druggists Buy Plot
Sutton & Aldermen Arranging to Take
over Property Next Door

Negotiations are under way
for the purchase by Sutton and
Alderman, druggists, of the
property on the North side of
Franklin street between their
present store and the Carolina
Smoke Shop. 1t has a frontage
of about so feet. The Chapel
Hill Insurance & Realty Com
pany is the present owner.
A year or so ago the company
started work on a new building
here. The foundations and the
basement walls were erected,
bringing the structure up to the
street level. and after that moth
ing more'was done.
People began to call it the
mystery building" All sorts of
guesses were made about the
company's intentions. W. S.
Robertson, the president, said at
one time that he might build a
theatre; at another time he had
in mind stores. with lodge
rooms or dormitorieS overhead.
Both Mr.. Sutton and Mr.. AL
derman have been away from
Chapel Hill this week, on a vaca-
ton, and, although a substan-
tial agreement has been reached,
the sale cannot be finally con-
cluded until they return.
The lease of the space now oc-
cupied by their drugstore. in
the Strowd building, has yet a
year to run.

l was in the post-office the
other day when Collier Cobb,
professor of geology, received a
letter signed by doctor of medi-
cine, running as follows: Dear
sir: Will you be good enough to
tell me if rocks grow, especially
when buried in the ground near
a spring." Mr.. Cobb told me of
many strange inquiries he had
received. One came from the
owner of a show in Mexico,
who wrote: "Please tell me the
best food for monkeys when
they are north of the Rio
Grande. l have had my monkeys
in or near the tropics hitherto,
but now | am about to take
them to the United States and
want to be sure they remain

Vernon Howell was out in a
motor boat in Albemarle sound
last week when something went
wrong with the engine. The
captain of the vessel found that
a certain necessary spring was
gone. "If | had a safety pin !
could make out" he said. Mr..
Howell, though a bachelor; has
a famous collection of baby caps
but he has never had the fancy
to collect safety pins, either to
keep at home or take around
with him, and so could not sup
ply the need. However, they
hailed a passing barge, and the

equipment.

Dear Louis Graves:
At least part of Chapel Hill

a day with Royster in London
just before the family went to
Paris. Last Friday we had a
most interesting time with the
Wheelers exploring the high
ways and byWays Of York, We
walked most of the way around
the old Norman wall and after
dark went through "The Sham
bles." These words are the of
fetal designation of a street
none too straight, where the
houses are built out over the
roadway so that in one place
there is only about four feet be

Jamaica Products Here
Woods and Fruits Brought from the
Island by John n. Couch

John N. Couch has brought a
fine collection of fruits and
woods from the island of ia
maica, and they are now in the
botany wing of Davie Hall. The
woods include mahogany. satin
wood, lignum vitae, bamboo.
mountain mangrove, yacca, Junl-
per, and several members of the
pine and cedar families; among
the fruits are yams, plaintain,
cho-cho, and paw-paw. In one
glass jar is a banana flower,
showing bananas in the early
stage.
One of the botanist's speci-
mems is Il tree fern which he
found in the forest twelve miles
from the nearest road. 1t weigh
ed $50 pounds, and the negro
attendants had a hard time
carrying it through the woods.
The block of lignum vitae is
extraordinarily heavy, and sinks
in water. This is a material
sometimes used in the manufac-
ture Of billiard balls.
Obtaining the woods and
fruits was an incident, not the
main purpose, of Mr. Couch's
trip. His mission was to study
fungi, with the British expert
ment station as headquarters.
In the course of his six-weeks
stay he discovered six hitherto
unknown diseases on forest
trees.
This next year he is going to
pursue his studies at the Missou-
ri Botanical gardens in st. Louis.
