Sir James Barrie has made the
faculty of Edinburgh in the sevent es
immortal with his essays on The
Edinburgh Eleven" The faculty of
Chapel Hill n the siXt;es-the Chapel
/ Hill Nine-can of course gain no such
fame from my inadequate words. But
they do not need it. They immortal
zed themselves Perhaps the very
existence of the University of North
Carolina today, certainly the contln-
uty of the Unversity's traditions is
IA monument to those unpretentious,
simple, fearless men who, with one
exception, kept the faith unto the end.
And even if one of them finally found
the. fight too much for his failing
spirit, still we can count nine by in
cluding Governor Swain, "Oldp Bunk, "
as one of the faculty Surely no one
ever loved Chapel Hill with devo-
tion greater than his.
These men were not great, inspira-

But they constituted a most compe-
tent faculty. They were good drill
masters in their particular subjects.
And surely they more than compen-
stated for what they failed to teach
us of the humanities by what they
taught us of humanity at its best and
truest. They were serving almost
without pay; the Univel sty now had
no source of income except the meagre
tuit.o fees of the students. Mem
bers Of the faculty were in such des-
perate circumstances that special pro
vision had to be made for permitting
them to cut fire wood from the Uni
versity trees. More than half of them

several actually were northern men.
But as they had shared the old pros
perity, 50 they continued to share the
dangers of warfare and the suffering
of defeat. Forgetting their personal
discomforts, they labored to mould a
difficult generation and to keep un-
tarn shed the traditions of great
school. There used to be whisper
among the boys that whenever the
bottom of the bins appeared in the
homes of the professors, the ravens

Chapel Hill Chaf

l have petitioned George Den
ny to settle on a name for the
University's new theatre. In
communications from the Caro-
lima Playmakers' office have
seen the building designated as
the Playmaker Theatre, the
Playmakers Theatre, the Play
makers Theatre, the State
Theatre, and, think | recall,
as some sort of Playhouse.
This variety of titles upsets a
newspaper editor. | have made
bold to suggest that some name
without the word Playmaker
would be advisable, since in al
most all announcements involv-
ing the theatre the Carolina
Playmakers are mentioned any
way and the repetition irks the
ear a little. How would the Uni
versity Playhouse do? Or the
University Theatre? Or Koch
Hall? However, have no ambi-
tion to choose the name. If they
will just call it one thing or the
other, and stick to it, l will be
satisfied.
When the University received
an invitation to send a delegate
to attend the opening of the Uni
Versity of Palestine in Jerusalem
this was some time ago-Pres-
ident Chase passed on the COM
munication to DR.. MacNider and
suggested that perhaps the doc
tor would like to go. However,
he neglected to give any assur-
ances about an expense allow
ance, so the doctor stayed in
Chapel Hill.
The celebrated phrase, "Say
it with flowers" has been a.
mended by a certain bachelor
who has a farm near Chapel Hill.
The place is well equipped with
livestock, and occasionally the
owner sends to his friend, a
young woman of the vicinity,
choice pieces of beef. Remark
ing upon this, a neighbor of the
bachelor said the other day:
wills motto is Say it with
spare-ribs'."
Vernon Howell has been en-
couraging the youngest of the
Bookers, Julia Thruston, to call
him Uncle Vernon. She has
not been talking long, and the
nearest she can come to it, so
far, is "Uncle Vermin.

Berlin. Nov. 1S O-The death of Major General von Heertngen, former imperial Ger man War minister. recalls one of the most painful scenes enacted at Doorn since the exile of the former Kaiser. Several months before his death. General won Heeringen, whom the army ncknamed Santa Claus be- cause of hts flowing beard. came to Doorn to pay his respects to his former commander in-chief. At dinner William II said to his guest:
 Well, my dear general, when do you sup pose we two shall meet in Berlin?"
 Your majesty will pardon me If speak freely,' von Heeringen replied. "hut neither of us believe, will live to see the day.
 The head of the house of Hohenzolern was 50 offended at this all too frank reply that the dinner was broken up and the aged general left Doorn early the following morning.

English Girls With Good Pair of
 Legs Are Quite Unusual, Noted Doctor Says.

London. Nov. 13 H9-English girls with good pair of legs are quite unusual according to Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, noted British physician, but the answer of several persons well qualified to speak Is decided English girls legs not ugly"
 50 many English girls nowadays are bow. legged or knock-kneed," Sir William says, at. tributing these physical defects to bad feed ing in youth.
 But" says Miss Heather Thatcher, mus- cal comedy actress whose own legs are the rage of London. English girls legs have im- proved vastly in the last ten years
 Awful skirts, ugly stockings and ill-fitted shoes were hardly conducive to shapely legs ten years ago. but all these have changed now" she says. Besides short skirts have made nice legs imperative"
 Perhaps the New York girl has the incest legs of al but Miss England makes a good second" says another critic.
 Other opinions are:
 M. Peron, dress designer: English girls legs are certainly not ugier than those of other nations"
 Miss Italia Contin, dance instructor: "One has simply to walk along any street to see some simply beautiful legs"

PARIS
Penniless Gamblers Invited to At- tend Forty Day Prayer Meeting at Monte Carlo.

Paris, Nov. 13 Q1-Penniless gamblers have been particularly invited to 40-day prayer meeting in the mountains just back of Monte Carlo the world famous gambling resort, by Jean Buvais, the sage Of Notre Dame de Laghet.
 Buvais is organizing the meeting in the hopes of saving Europe from a calamity which he thinks Is on its way. The opening of the meeting will coincide with that of the gambling season, and Buvais wants penniless gamblers to seek solace in prayer from the ill-directed shots of the little roulette ball.
 So strong is the sage of Notre Dames pow CT over the peasants and shepherds for miles around that success is assured the meeting. even should every gambler prove prosperous and impenitent.
 For forty years Buvais has been foretell- ing the future. His disciples claim for him ninety per cent record of truthful predic- tions Until now he has confined himself to predicting losses for the roulette adopts and the fall of French cabinets within three months.
 Jean has now branched out in the more sen- sational field of world disasters and the pray- CT meeting Is called to prevent "the lost con- tnent of Atlantis arising from the ocean and causing the wckedest section of the world to disappear"
 Jean does not include the little principality of Monte Carlo among the wicked and he pre- diets that Monaco is safe from disaster.

NO MORE TIN SOLDIERS

Locarno struck death blow to the little tin soldiers, rows of which the French children were wont to align at Christmas time. The department stores and toy houses no longer carry extensive lines of them and the multi colored, uniformed little chaps have practical ly disappeared from their windows.
 The Paris Municipal Council Is also con- fronted with a proposal emanating from a Communist Councillor asking the suppression In all gifts of toys made by the city to poor children in the schools Of such articles rifles cannon, pistols, army caps and tin lead soldiers. Thus the minds of the French youth will not be directed toward thoughts of war. the motion says but trained in the spirit of peace. For once a Communist pro- posal is likely to be accepted by the City Council 1t having met with general favor.
 The second part of the motion, suggesting that the soldiers be replaced by hammers and sickles-the Soviet emblem-will probably have to stand severer knocks and may be cut out altogether.

Everybody wondered by what Ori- ental potentate this citizen had been honored.

LONGER LIFE PREDICTED

Longer life for man is prophesied by Pro- lessor Julian Huxley in an essay just pub. lished, in which he says:
 By eugenic measures we could unquestion- ably raise the average span on human life even without further progress in hygiene If. as we may confidently predict, the present trend of affairs continues, more and more men will attain an advanced age, naturally by re- juvenation."
 The death rate of infants and young peo- pie will continue to fall, Professor Huxley predicts, and the birth rate will do likewise.
 AS result of this we shall in few decades have a population in which the rela- tive numbers of young and old people will be quite different from the present, he be- lieveS.
