May Land On Ice and Float Hundreds Miles Toward Spitzbergen Which Will Save Large Quatity

 Briefly in Year of 1916.

The route of the flight planned by Captain George H. Wilkins from Point Barrow the North Pole lies close to the Pole of Relative naccessiby the of vast unexpored region directly north of the North Am erican continent and Siberia.
 The degree of inaccessibity of Arctic regions does not depend upon latitude, but upon navigabe waters and suitable places for establishing bases of supplies
 The waters of the Gulf Stream on the Atlantic side of the continent flow into the Arctic ocean, making it possible for ships to navigate 700 miles further north there than the Pacific side On this side the tepd Jap current is defeced from the Arctic ocean by the and west of Greenland has been explored while the ice pack north of Alaska has prevented investigation of that Polar basin large enough to encompass continent the size of Australia

SOuthgate Jones' Home
Banker Building a Rustic House about
Miles from Here

SOuthgate Jones, vice presi-
dent of the First National Bank
of Durham, is building coun-
try home about three miles from
Chapel Hill. 1t is near the
Weaver dairy farm on the road
to Mount Moriah church, few
hundred yards from where this
road turns off from the Chapel
Hill-Durham highway.
"They are putting the roof
on this week, and we hope to
move in by the middle of July"
Mr.. Jones told a Chapel Hill
friend this week. at is our
plan to live there about six
months every year, from spring
till fall. | have about As acres
around the house, and will do
some farming"
The house stands on a hill and
commands a fine view both to
Chapel Hill and to Durham. 1t
is of rustic design, being built
of pine logs morticed in the old
fashioned manner. The space
between the logs will be chinked
with mortar. On one side of
the spacious living room will
be a great fireplace. There are,
altogether, seven rooms and two
baths. In the yard is well
surrounded by concrete plat
form and lined with terra Gotta
pipe two feet in diameter.

Duke to Begin Roads
Surveys Have Been Made: Work to
Start Probably before August

Duke University is soon to
begin on it's roads. Robert l..
Flowers, secretary of the univer-
Sity and second in command to
President Few, said last week
that they hoped actual work
would be under way before the
end of July.
Road-building is the first step
in the construction of the new
institution on the woodland tract
purchased by James B. Duke
shortly before his death, on the
outskirts of Durham. Careful
surveys have been made and a
road plan has been mapped out
but before the clearing and
grading begin an expert high
way engineer is to make a final
examination of the layout, to
see if any relocations are advis-
able.
One thing is certain: that
there will be road leading
through the tract from the
Chapel Hill-Durham highway on
this side to the Durham-Greens-
boro highway on the other, so
that travellers from Chapel Hill
to the west may go through the
Duke University grounds, thus
cutting off the stretches that
now pass through the city of
Durham.
There are three agencies
concerned in the road layout,
said Mr.. Flowers. "These are
the county, the state, and the
university. We want our plan
to fit in we'll with those of both
the county and the state, and,
to effect this harmony, we are
consulting with the county com.
missioners and the state high
way commissioner for this dis
trict, Mr.. Hill. 1t is our ambi-
ton to have roads that will not
only serve our own local pur-
poses but will tie up perfectly
with the county and state sys-
tems."

Receiver Takes Charge
Phipps Named by Court to Assume
Charge of Pendergraph- McC CauIey

"Slow pay" is given as the fac
tor responsible for the receiver
ship of Pendergraph & McCau-
ley, Chapel Hill furniture mer-
chants.
Both assets and liabilities are
put down as about $15,O0O,"
said L. J. Phipps, the receiver,
yesterday. From the books of
the concern it does not appear
that it is to be considered insol-
vent in the usual sense of that
word. Messrs. Pendergraph
and McCauley were unable to
collect many of their accounts
and therefore were unable to
meet obligations that came due.
But we hope that they will be
able to resume business soon."
The receiver was appointed by
Judge Michael Schenck on ap-
plication of the Supplee Biddle
Hardware Company, through the
company'S attorneys, Robertson,
Whitfield and Phipps. He
is directed to employ such help
and make such purchases as are
necessary to carry on the busi-
ness, to collect amounts receiv-
able and to do everything pos
sible to convert the assets to
cash, and to report his proceed
ings to Judge Daniels in Dur
ham on the 10Th of July.

HendersOn's 2 Windows
Books and Photographs on Display
This Week in Durham

The Booklovers Shop in Dur
ham has had both it's show win
dows this week, devoted to Ar
chibald Henderson.
There are several photographs
of him, and about these are
grouped books of which he is
the author: "The Life of Ber-
nard Shaw" "The Changing
Drama" "Washington's South
ern Tour" and others. One
feature of the display is a car
toon, the product of an English
artist, showing Shaw and Hen
derson in conversation. Each of
them is shown laying down the
law to the other. The Irishman
is towering above a table with a
diabolic gleam in his eye; the
North Carolinian, seated, is en-
phasizing a point by bringing his
right fist down violently into his
left palm.
The volume, Table Talk of
G. B. 81, has a prominent place
in the layout. And the collection
includes, also, the German trans
lation of the dialogues, under the
title "Tischgespraeche nit Ber-
nard Shaw"

Babies Big Party
Gathering on Mrs. HOwe's Lawn
Makes a Gay Scene

In honor of her three-year-old
neighbors, Jean Hibbard and
Carolyn Baker, Mrs. George
Howe entertained about three
dozen members of Chapel Hills
youngest set on the lawn of her
home on Park Place Tuesday af-
ternoon.
1t was a gay scene. The chill
dren, dressed in all the colors of
the rainbow, darting here and
there as they played games,
shone against the deep green
turf like swarm of dazzling
butterflies. Now and then they
stopped to cluster around a
shrub and stare curiously at the
odd things that had been hung
from its branches-giant dolls
clothed in silver, pink kittens,
white rabbits-strange and fas-
cinating objects.
The great event of the day
(next in Importance to the dis
pensing of the ice-cream) was
the drawing of prizes at a table
whereon lay an immense daisy.
The petals were long strips of
white paper, and attached to
them, forming the center of the
flower, were little packages in
yellow wrappings. Each child,
approaching the table, drew
forth a petal and then, in breath
less suspense, proceeded to ex-
plore the package.
functioned proudly as caterers,
stage-hands, and traffic guides.
A dozen or so negro nurses sat
on the stone wall, in absolute
and happy idleness, watching the
white people provide the service.
The only motion these specta-
tors were seen to make, during
the entire afternoon, was to lift
the ice-cream from plate to
mouth.

Mintz Joins Troupe
Playmaker Gets a Regular Job with
Durham's Stock Company

Claudius Mintz, for several
years a student in the Univer-
sity, went over to Durham the
other day and got a job as an
actor with the Shelton Brown
Players, the stock company at
the Auditorium.
Mr.. Mintz has apeared in
many of the plays put on by the
Carolina Playmakers and his act
ing in these has won him much
cOmmendation. 1t is not unlike
ly that his present engagement
will lead him to adopt the stage
as his career.
He is not we'll fixed financially,
aSd recently he has been work
ing as a carpenter to exc out his
expenses. He tells his friends
that when he walked into the
managers office in Durham, and
offered himself as an actor, he
was greeted by a rather skepti-
cal stare. But they gave him a
trial, and then decided to en-
ploy him, He appeared in Peg
o My Heart and in Just Mar
ried."
The SheltOn-Brown Players
are taking a two-weeks recess
now, but after they return to
the Auditorium, about mid
July, they will stay on through
the fall and winter. Several
members of the faculty are
making it practice to go over
to Durham to see them and re-
port good entertainment.

VILLAGE GETS A
SURPRISE IN THE
OLIVE MARRIAGE
Only Few Friends Knew Pastor
Was to Be Married to
Miss Pearson
AT HOME AFTER JULY 10

All but a few intimate friends
of Rev. Eugene Olive, the Bap-
tist pastor in Chapel Hill, were
taken by surprise when they
heard that he had been married
early Tuesday morning at the
Tabernacle Baptist church in
Raleigh.
The bride was Miss Iva Pear
son of Dunn, daughter of Mrs.
Emma Virginia Pearson and the
late William Franklin Pearson.
She is graduate of Meredith
College.
DR.. w. r. Cullom of Wake For
est performed the ceremony, as
sisted by DR.. J. A. Campbell and
DR.. Charles l.. Greaves.
John S. Pearson of Birming-
ham, Alabama. the uncle of the
bride, gave her away. Mrs. Wal
ter Mitchell, the brides sister,
and Mrs. Benjamin Lawrence
were matrons of honor, and Miss
Lima Cough was maid of honor.
DR.. Robert Olive of Fayetteville
was the best man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Olive left for
wedding tour by automobile.
They will be at home in Chapel
Hill after July 10.
Formal announcements have
been sent to friends of the
bride and groom in this and
other states; but only one an
nouncement has been sent to the
people of Chapel Hill. This will be
read to the Baptist congrega-
tion Sunday morning by Rev.
Charles E. Maddry.

Chapel Hill Chaf

My neighbor across the street
has a gravel walk leading up
to his front steps, and on each
side of this walk he planted a
border of larkspurs. They
flourished, and now the two lines
have begun to march across the
gravel. 1t suggests a military
formation-platoons advancing
upon one another across no.
mans land, yet with no hint of
hostile motive.
1t seems to me a fortunate
thing to have a name that can
be adjusted to match various
moods. This neighbor has writ
ten a book called Highway
Curves and EarthwOrk, ;" and the
author is set down as Thomas F.
Hickerson. That sounds right
enough, for a volume. of that
character. But if stranger
came by and asked me who lived
in the house across the way
and if, as | answered, the lark
spurs were in vieW-I would not
think of Thomas F.; l would say
T. Felix Hickerson. The one is
suitable for the expert on curves
and earthwork-the other for
the cultivator and lover of larks-
purs. .
The horse that comes by my
house every day, drawing Te-
gus Andrews delivery wagon,
presents a good demonstration
of animal instinct. Or is it
memory? Frequently he goes
alone on his round, for a block or
more, stopping just where he is
supposed to stop, turning into
private roadways when he
should, while Mr.. Andrews
walks ahead to interview house
holders. If a pedestrian is
crossing his course he stops and
waits for the pedestrian to pass
on, and so with an automobile.
In fact, he seems to be capable
of doing just about the whole
job except counting the money
or punching the ticket.

This, That, and the
Other Thing

The idea was advanced, a long
time back, by a. writer in this
paper, that perhaps the greatest
benefaction of the late James
B. Duke was not his gift to edu-
cation, but the pleasure he gave
to millions of people by distri-
buting among them tobacco at
a low price. But it was left to
the Southern Tobacco Journal,
published in Winston-Salem, to
develop this theme. The con-
tributor to the Weekly was en-
gagged in more or less idle specu-
lation-he did not realize that
tobacco was responsible for so
much human achievement as is
credited to it in the Winston-Sa-
lem periodical.
SIS
In an issue now several
months old-which, however, |
have just happened TO run a
cross-the virtues of tobacco
thus set forth by G.. E. Webb,
the editor:
''Mr Duke, the well-known to-
baccOnist, who gave $40,OOO,OOO
to foster higher education, has
made magnificent gesture, but
the question is: Is he really con-
tributing any more to the cause
of thought with his money than
he formerly did with his to-
bacco? If we had time and
space we could easily demon
strate in a neat little thesis of
forty or fifty thousand words
that tobacco itself has done
more for mankind than all the
formal schooling the race has
had.
Tobacco induces state of
nervous tranquility in which it
is possible to think, and think
connectedly, for long periods.
The individual who thinks edu-
Gates himself.
"The world has gone ahead by
leaps and bounds since Sir Wal
ter Raleigh introduced tobacco
to Europe. We will leave it to
the scientists-to the profession

not superior in their knowledge
