Italian furniture oyershadows the other types. This is explained by the predominance in the homes there. More colonial furniture is used in the South than in any other section.
 Construction of smaller houses and increase in apartment dwrllcrs have been reflected in antique and art shops through the present strong demand for small pieces of furniture and other objects.

BARGES OF TULIPS

Millions Of Blossoms Are De-

i Haarlam, Holland, June 21 P,- i Great barges piled high with fresh ] tulips, mauve, yellow white, red and some black ones pass through 1 the canal these days going seawar1 to sink their cargoes. Enough hlos- sons to decorate a million homes are thus destroyed every day.

 The agreement among the tulip growers observed with the utmost rigor is to sell bulbs only. Florists who buy the bulbs whether in HoI- land, England.

CITY OF DAMASCUS
 WHOLLY DESOLATED
State Of Siege Continues With
 out, Rebellion Within

Damascus, June T PA-Damascus is desolated. The holy city of the Near East, keeper of the tradition of Arabs and Islams, is in a state of siege from without, while re- bellion is seething within. A triple TOW of barbed wire, blockhouses and dugouts briStling with machine guns and flanked by artillery encir- cling the heart of the city have kept the dissident Druses from storming the MosIem capital of Syria. For six months. however, the dissidents have been holding the once luXuriant gardens virtually sur rounding the city.
 Barricades and barbed wire en- tanglements are at every important street corner and command every square in the very center Of the city 10 within a hundred yards of the general staff headquarters of the French army. These defensive meas ures have maintained relative calm among the inhabitants within the walls of the ancient capital, but have not completely stamped out rebellious clements.
 Bombardments, by airpanes and artillery, of the villages and the gar dens near Damascus where the dis sidents are concentrating are daily and nightly occurrences. Hundreds of shells were fired into the gardens on June 15, 16, r and IS. a par ticularly severe bombardment occur ring on the 18th, when French air planes bombed the neighborhood of Damascus uninterruptedly for two and one-half hours. Although some of the shells passed over parts of the city itself before reaching their objcctives beyond the walls, Arab urchins play in the streets, appar- ently obvious 10 their screech.
 Occasionally the crack of a lone dissident rifle is heard as a sniper takes a pot shot at some French soldier. The dissident forces hold ing the garden have been estimated at between 1900 and 2.oo0. They have no artillery save two small anti-tank guns.

ANTIQUES NOW ARE
 MUCH IN DEMAND
Search for Them Goes on Almost
 Everywhere

New York June 21 lp,-Thc wealthy art and furniture collector in America has had to make room for his not-so-wealthy neighbor. who just q few years ago was satis- fled with modernity.
 Thousands of antique shops which have sprung up in towns and cities and along the highways and bvways is one evidence that the love of old and beautiful things has become gen. eral. so New York's art row points out.
 No Longer Wealthy Hobby
 "Collecting has always been hobby of the wealthy" said Otto Bernet, of the American Art Asso- ciation, and always will be- 1 re- member. however, a period not so many years ago when there was a craze for modern thlsgs for the av- craze home.
 The old chairs and tables and ob- jccts which had come down through the years were stored away in the CtIiarS ana altlcS or many homes or sold. Some were even thrown away,
 Then began the gradual change and out from obscurity came the old things. The demand became greater and naturally the antique shops in- creased in number and the art auc- ton houses did q large business"
 Seek Early American Objects
 Throughout the United States the demand for early American furni- ture is great. Equally sought are the early English, Spanish. Italian and French periods.

Old Church Now Garage
MethOdists' Former Building, Long
Closed, Now Put to Use

The old Methodist church, at
the corner of Rosemary and Hen
derson streets, has been convert
ed into an automobile repair sta
tion which Montrose Tull will
operate under the name of the
Club Service Motor Co. 1t was
at first reported that he would
have C. E. Graham as a partner,
but this is not the fact. Mr..
Graham says that all he has had
to do with the new concern has
been to help install the equip
ment.
A platform has been built
from the rear door to Hender-
son street to allow cars to pass
in and out, and the walls and
floor have been repaired.
The building was dedicated
July 81, 1853, after Rev. j.
Milton Frost had made a trip
through North Carolina and col
lected a fund of $4,000. The lot
was bought from the University.
Here in 1857 Rev. A. w. Man
gum, father of DR.. Charles and
Miss Ettie Mangum, preached
his first sermon, and about forty
years later he preached his last
sermon in the same place. The
MethOdists moved into their
church on Franklin street about
thirty-tive years ago.

Wilson Hooks Host
Clergyman, after Fish, Gets Chin of
His Friend Mr.. WOOten

The city of New Bern seems
to have an enterprising press a.
gent. On one day recently
there appeared in the newspa-
pers a story about an ancient in
strument of torture found in the
rear of the home of Tryon, the
Colonial governor, and another
story about a rooster nursing
kittens. But the press agent
seems to have missed-(at least
| have seen no mention of it,
an exploit of Rev. N. H. D. Will
sons.
Mr.. Wilson, who is now in
charge of the Methodist church
in New Bern, was invited the
other day to go out on a fishing
jaunt with his friend Mr.. WoOt-
en-, and he accepted. They trav-
eled in a big automobile, we'll e.
quipped with a picnic dinner, and
all would have gone happily ex-
cept for this: They had hardly
cast their lines out over the wa
ter before Mr.. Wilson's hook
caught Mr.. Wooten under the
chin. 1t caught him so securely
that he had to be taken back to
the city to be mended by sur
geon.
Mr.. Wilson will be in Chapel
Hill within a few days and will
then supply to his friends here
further details of the adventure.

Inactive Clock a Public Issue:
Owens Serves Notice ON Howell

Vernon Howell was waiting
his turn for a shave in the Caro-
lima Barber Shop one day this
week when a man of solemn and
authoritative. mien walked up to
him and said:
"Mr. Howell, the American
Legion wants you to do some
thing about the clock in front of
the Peoples Bank. 1t hasn't
been running for a long time
now, and people are getting wor-
ried. They want to see it start
ed up again"
The speaker was Judge Owens,
one of the associates of MesSrs.
Robertson and Whitfield in the
office of the Chapel Hill Insur-
ance and Realty Company. The
Chapel Hill post of the Ameri-
can Legion, having not long ago
persuaded the town government
to install trash receptacles upon
the street, had decided to press
on to further civic service, and
the inactive cIock-the only
time-piece in the village that
juts out over the sidewalk and
can be seen from afar-looked
like a good point of attack. Mr..
Howell, former president of the
former bank and still guardian
of the surviving fixtures, was
the man to be seen first. And
The Chapel Hill weekly. [volume] (Chapel Hill, N.C.) 1923-1972, 1926-07-30

Judge Owens, because of his i'm
posing address and manner of
speech, was appointed ambassa-
dor.
This was the first intimation
to the ex-president that the
clock had become a public issue,
and the reproach in the ambas-
sador's eye so fabbergasted
him that his tongue was momen-
tarily paralyzed and he was un-
able to produce a comeback.
But while he was being shaved
he thought deeply about the
problem and between the strokes
of the razor he discussed it with
the barber. The barber testi-
fed that the inaction of the clock
had indeed become subject of
concern to the citizenry.
When his last stubborn whis-
ker had been disposed of and he
had put on his coat and collar,
Mr.. Howell went out into the
street and found Judge Owens
in front of the drugstore.
'Look here" he said, "I've
decided we had better have a
plebiscite on this question"
Only little while ago he had
been hearing Whatley Pierson
explain the Tacna-Arica dispute
in South America, and so the

Chapel Hill Chaf

Francis D. Winston stopped
over here for a few hours Mon
day on the way back to Windsor
from the meeting of the Press
Association in Hickory. He told
me of his days as editor of the
Chapel Hill Ledger 48 years ago,
in 1873, when he was a student
in the University. His associ-
ate was R. P. Pell, now president
of Converse College in. South
Carolina. The proprietor of the
paper, for whom they worked,
was Joseph Harris, who still lives
in Hillsboro.
Judge Winston-apropos of |
forget What-related the expert
ence of young friend of his
who, in the ante-prOhlbltlOn
days, asked his advice about TAX
ing a job as bartender. The
Judge counseled him not to, but
the counsel was not needed. In
a week or so the youth got into
a brawl with a customer, and he
turned up at the Judges quar-
ters with his head swathed in
bandages. ''That advice you
gave me was right" he said, and
added: Judge, ! want to tell
you'll b'Iieve tendin' a bar is
the most difficult office a man
ever tried to fill"
M. C. S. Noble walked out of
the Bank of Chapel Hill the 9TH
er day, mounted into A. H. Pat
terson's Ford coupe with the
mistaken notion that it was his
own, and drove off. Professors
are famous for their absent
mindedness, but I had thought
that Mr.. Noble, being a bank
president, was a deviation from
type. This incident shows that
the PROFESSIONAL nature is right
there, ready to break through
the crust of the financier. How
ever, it will not do to count upon
this when you go to the bank
to seek loan. For, if Mr.. Noble
should forget to ask for colIat-
eral Mr.. Hogan will be on deck
to give his elbow a warning
nudge.
