Allen w Dulles, former chief of the

to the Geneva Arms Limitation Con-
ference, has resigned from the service
to enter New York law firm. it was
announced yesterday.
Mr.. Dulles left the State Depart

financial means to support the posi-
ton customary to men in the higher
posts of the diplomatic service and
his resignation is held up as another
instance of the difficulty men of
limited means find in accepting ad-

Mr.. Dulles. who is regarded as one
of the most efficient diplomatic officers
of the career group. has been con
nected with the State Department
more than 10 years. His advancement
has been swift. He is grandson OF
John w. Foster, Secretary of state
under President Harrison: nephew Of
former Secretary Robert Lansing. and
was recalled from Geneva for promo
tfon TO the rank OF counselor, as
signed to the legation in Peking.
That promotion prompted Dulles

Progress on New East
Home Of Geology Dept. and Phi SOci-
ETY. Nears Completion

Collier Cobb and the Phi Soci-
ETY. will take possession of the
New East some time in March,
at about the beginning of the
spring quarter. The heavy con-
struction is done; the first lay
er of flooring is being laid; and
the plasterers, who began at the
ground, have reached the Phi
Society's hall at the top of the
building.
For thirty years Mr.. Cobb has
been eagerly awaiting an ade-
quate laboratory for his geology
department. He says that when
he first came here, in the early
nineties, the University author
tiles told him his laboratory
stood high up on the list of es-
sential improvements. AS the
years passed other projects
took precedence; so he waited,
with occasional protests but for
the most part with equability
and patience, Now at. last he
comes into his own. w. F.
Prouty, Jeff Bynum, and the
other geologists share his salts
faction.
The Phi will have a far better
hall than it had before, with
ample seating accommodations,
conveniently placed ante room
and archive room, and improv-
ed lighting.

the Episcopal church. This side
door is habitually used as the
entrance of the woman's build

reached by automobiles, and the

as an ornament and is kept lock-

to greet them, since the stream

Green's Play Dec. q
New York Opening of I'm Abraham's
Bosom" Is Scheduled

Paul Green's drama, I'm
Abraham's Bosom" will open
Tuesday, December g.. at the
Provincetown Theatre in New
York. 1t is a tragedy of negro
life, and the scene is laid in
eastern North Carolina.
The producers have been Pc
culiarly fortunate in engaging,
for the leading roles, julius
Bledsoe and Rose McClendon.
These two negro actors have won
fame by their achievements on
the metropolitan stage within
the last few years. Julius Bled-
soc was in the opera, Deep
River" the libretto of which was
written by Lawrence Stallings.
Another member of the company
will be Abbie Mitchell.
"In Abraham's Bosom" was
published several months ago in
volume of one-act plays. I'M
mediately it attracted the favor
able attention of critics and
managers in New York, and
after a proposal for it's produc-
tion was made to Mr.. Green he
expanded the original short YER
sion into a full-length play.

Christmas Mail
Postmaster General Asks Public to
Help Prevent Congestion

The Postmaster General of
United States has issued a bull
letin about Christmas mail.
The most heavily emphasized
passage in it is:
Mail early for early deliv-
cry"
There will be no deliveries
after II o'clock noon on Christ
mas Day.
"The department." says the
Postmaster General, will make
every effort to handle the Christ
mas mails without congestion
and delay, but owing to the
enormous volume this can be
done only with the cooperation
of the public"
The public is urged to wrap
all packages securely, using
strong paper and heavy twine;
to reinforce over their full
length such articles as umbrel-
las, canes, and golf sticks; to
guard adequately sharp-pointed
or sharp edged instruments or
tools; to write the word PERISH
able on the outside of packages
containing perishable material !;
to write the address completely
and plainly; to be sure that suf-
ticient stamps are affixed; to in
sure or register valuable mail.
For extra-rapid delivery a
special delivery stamp should be
used; or, ten cents in regular
stamps may be used if the words
special delivery are written on
the package.

The Graham Memorial
Central Assembly Room Expected to
lie Ready at Commencement

The central room of the Gra-
ham Memorial is expected to be
ready for use by next Com
mencement. This is the space
which will serve as a student
social center.
The architects plans have
been completed and are awaiting
final approval. The actual
building operations should begin
in January About $4,000 is
available for the enterprise. Less
than half of this amount, how
ever, will go into finishing the
big room, since the appropria-
tion must provide a cement floor
for the basement, the rough
plumbing, the heating equip
ment, and a connection with the
University's heating system.
1t is probable that a portrait
of Edward Kidder Graham, in
whose memory the building was
erected, will be placed over one
of the two mantelpieces; and
the suggestion has been made
that an inscription be placed over
the other mantelpiece at the op-
posite end Of the room.

The Community Tree
Celebration on the Campus Christmas
Eve; Preceded by Singing

The Community Christmas
Tree celebration will take place
next Friday evening, December
"a, just before suppertime. The
same holly tree that has done
service for years-on the cam
pus between the Library and
the Alumni building-will be
brilliantly illuminated by hum
dreds of colored lights.
Singing in the Presbyterian
church will precede the festiv-
tiles on the campus. The church
gathering is set for five o'clock,
and everybody is invited. A
quartet led by Urban T. Holmes
will lead the caroling. From the
church the crowd will move on
to the tree about half past five
o'clock.
Stockings laden with oranges,
apples, and candy will be given
out to the smaller children by
a properly costumed Santa
Claus.
Every citizen is asked to bring
a contribution-food, clothing,
or anything else. The offerings
will afterward be"distributed by
the Kings Daughters among the
people of the village.

the west. The eyes of Mrs. Sell
ma Lee, who was in the receiv-

them, and she saw they looked
lost and lonely.
"Enita," she said to Miss
Nicks, you'd better go over
there and look after those two
men-they don't know which
way to CO."
So Miss Nicks approached the
newcomers. They had on their
coats. She thought the coats
had just been put on, whereas in
fact, their wearers having just
arrived, they had not yet been
taken off. Guiding the two gen.
tlemen to the door, through
which they had come in but a
moment ago, she told them she
was so glad they had come and
she hoped they would come a
gain. The instructors, with a
dazed look on their faces, went
out and were. seen no more.

Holiday Calm Begins
Students Leave for Home, and Quiet
Descends upon the Village

This is the time of year when
life in Chapel Hill enters upon
one of it's two periods of deepest
calm-the other being in early
September after the end of the
Summer School.
Examinations in the Univer-
sity have been in progress dur
ing the last few days, and now,
at the end of the week, the stu
dents are pouring out of the vii
lage to spend the holidays at
home. The busses are loaded
with them; and scores pick up
rides in private cars bound for
Durham.
Although some of the faculty
are also taking fight,
most of them will be here for
Christmas. A few of the learn
ed societies hold their annual
conventions between Christmas
and the opening of the college
year, and some of the professors
will attend these gatherings.

HILLS BUILDING
STIRS CURIOSITY
OF THE VILLAGE
He Has Made a New House out
of Two Old Ones Near the
-.
Carolina Inn
WHO WILL BE OCCUPANT?

One of the pastimes of the
villagethe days is to speculate
upon what John Sprunt Hill is
going to do with the building
that is rapidly nearing compile
tion at the corner of Pittsboro
street and Cameron avenue.
This structure is a combina-
tion of two homes that were part
of the M. c. S. Noble property
that Mr.. Hill bought last win
ter. The old house that stood
next to the Carolina Inn-once
occupied by the Bests, later by
Mr.. Noble and later still by Mrs.
Archer-was put on rollers and
moved over to nestle against the
former Carl Durham home.
They have now been spliced in
to one.
The consolidation was Mr..
Hills idea. He is fond of work.
ing out house plans of his own.
He gets an architect to attend
to the technical details, and to
modify the contours so that the
final creation will accord with
some proper tradition-Colonial
Renaissance, Queen Anne, or
whatever it is-but he settle for
himself the practical matters of
floor layout, tireplaces, bath
rooms, heating, and so on.
Mr.. Hills main purpose in
buying the Noble property was
to protect the surroundings of
his Carolina Inn. He wanted to
clear the strip of land running
back from Cameron avenue
along the Inn grounds, and by
moving the old house few
yards westward he killed two
birds with one stone: he cleared
the strip and by his doubling-up
operation he brought into being
a commodious new house.
Nobody knows yet how the
house is going to be used. Two
or three families, and at least
one fraternity, are said to have
made application to rent it. How
much money Mr.. Hill has spent
upon the project has not been
disclosed; but the financial ex-
perts of the village think he has
turned a good trick in the way
Of an investment.

Trees Cleared off Site
Next Work toward Stadium Will BE
Shifting Of Earth

Most of the trees on the site
Of the new Kenan stadium have
been cut down. Some of the
stumps will be grubbed up, some
may be dynamited, and some
will be disposed of by the steam
shovel.
Grading is the next operation.
If the weather permits, next
week should find the steam
shovel and other necessary ma
chinery on the ground, and the
work will proceed steadily
through the winter except on
lays when rain or snow has made
the soil too soft.
Evidence of the keen interest
of University alumni in the sta
dunn project is shown in the
number of visitors who come to
see the site. They come in au-
tomobiles along the South Road
by the Tin Can, get out of their
cars at the head of the wagon
trail leading toward Mdrgan's
creek, and walk down this trail
into the woods. ... ~. d.

he is planning to enter this Uni

l doubt if any two other Uni

deeply thoughtful expressions as
do Albert Coates and Frank
Graham when they are talking
with each other. l pass them
frequently when they have stop
ped upon the street to engage
in conversation, and always /
wonder what sort of discussion
it is that makes them so pre-
ternaturally solemn. The fixed
ness of their gaze, the wrinkles
in their brows, and the delib-
crate gravity of their gestures
all this strikes me with awe.
The dignity of their demeanor
is such that | would never dare
ask them what they are talking
about-yet l admit l am con-
sumed. with curiosity.
BIN, the Abernethys' fox ter

come accustomed to get them at

so, whenever he is out walking

shoves and yelps to indicate
where he wants to go. They
usually end by yielding. BIN is
