Sally FOard Struck by Car

Sally Foard MacNider, the g.
year-old daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. William de b. MacNider,
was struck and knocked down
by an automobile ON the high
way in front of her home one
afternoon last week. She was
painfully bruised, and a cut in
her arm had to be stitched, but
her injuries turned out not to
be serious. When the accident
occurred she was running across
the road, and it is thought prob
able that she hesitated and step
ped back, or made a sudden dart,
into the path of the car. No
blame was attached to the
driver, j. w. Umstead, who, in
his effort to avoid hitting her,
ran his car UP on the sidewalk
and knocked down a telephone
pole. II was due to his quick
ness that she received only a
glaacing blow.

The Graham Memorial
Main Room of Student Center Building
Is Nearly Finished

Unbeknownst to the passers-
by on the street a few yards a
way, carpenters and decorators
have been busily engaged in COM
pleting the main assembly room
of the Graham Memorial, the
building which is to serve as the
UniverSity's student center. The
room will be ready for use with
in a few weeks.
All those who have gone in to
observe the work have been i'm
pressed by the beauty of the
place. The walls are of natural
oak which was selected with
great care. The ceiling is
crossed by oak beams.
AT each end is an enormous
fireplace surmounted by a stone
mantel. An abundance of light
from the high windows on the
east give an atmosphere of
and enhances the
pleasing effect of the grain in the
oak paneling of the walls.
For the present only this large
central room is being completed.
The rooms at the ends and on
the second floor must. wait q
while because of the inadequacy
of funds.

Governor Mclean will come

the formal speech of acceptance
Of the Kenan Memorial sta

Two Men Hurt at Dairy

Silo. Receive Injuries

c. H. Weaver and r. L..
Thomason had bad fall while
they were at work in a silo Mon
day morning, at Mr.. Weaver's
Oak Grove dairy three miles
northwest of the village, and
had to be taken to the hospital

Something broke, and they were
dashed to the ground. DIR.
Abernethy came out from Chap
el Hill at high speed and ex-
amined them. He found Mr..
Weaver badly bruised and sufs

KENAN HERE ON
VISIT; HE ADDS
$4,000 TO GIFT
Donor of the Stadium Sees Il
For First Time and
Is Delighted
HOPES TO SEE BIG GAME

William Rand Kenan, Jr.,
came to Chapel Hill Saturday
and saw for the first time the
stadium which he gave to the
University as a memorial to his
father and mother. Before he
departed he added $4,000 to his
original donation of $275, 1000,
bringing the total to $303,000.
The supplementary gift goes
to cover the cost of the field
house at the south end of the
arena and of certain other fea-
lures which were not included in
the original plan.
Drawings were sent to Mr..
kenan several months ago,xand
every little while he received
photographs showing the prog
ress of the construction, but un-
til now he had not been able to
snatch enough time from his
business affairs to come and see
the place.
THE drawings and pictures
made me satisfied that things
were going along WE'LL" he told
Charles T. Woollen and Arthur
c. Nash. "but they could not
give an adequate idea of the set
ting and the color effects, and so
| was not prepared to find the
stadium as beautiful as it is. |
congratulate all of you on the
way you have done the job
He walked all over and around
the concrete stands, the field, and
the contiguous woods. The ar
rangement of seats and aisles,
the fence and the gates, the field
house, the paths through the
woods, the guest and the press
boxes, the stone steps on the
hillsides--all these he examined
minutely, and all won his ap-
proval,
Mr.. Kenan arrived at about
eleven O'Clock Saturday morn
ing. After he bad seen the sta
dium he had luncheon with a
group of University officials and
teachers at the Carolina Inn,
and thence went to the Carolina
Wake Forest game. Walks a.
bout the campus and the village,
chats with his old friends in the
faculty, and a dinner at the
Woollens' occupied the rest of
lis time here. When he left Sun
day afternoon he said he hoped
to come back to the Virginia
game on Thanksgiving day.

School Hours

L ne uifl0fcflCeS OI opinion d
bout the hours Of attendance, for
first and second grade children,
have been peaceably settled, and
the affairs of the Chapel Hill
school give promise of moving
along smoothly. Now that the
excitement which attended the
recent dispute has melted away,
perhaps one can revert to the
subject, and indulge in a few
stray remarks, without the dan
ger of stirring up civil war.
AS | sat in the school audi
torium on Monday evening of
last week and listened to argu-
ments about the double session
and the sinble session, my
thoughts took me back to the
time, around 80 years ago, when
Miss Loula Hendon kept her
school in the house on the cor
ner of Franklin and Boundary
streets, the present home of the
Acacia fraternity; and | reflect
ed upon how ignorant people
were, in those days, of stan
dards' of elementary instruc-
ton. The United States govern
ment bureau of education had
not come into existence, and,
while of course there were
agencies engaged in educational
research of one sort or another,
the charts, the graphs, the rec
ords of tests, the tables of per-
centages demonstrating this and
that, and the other data of which
we now hear so much, cut a very
small figure in the training of
the young.
We walked down to Miss
Loula's house at around eight in
the morning; had a short recess
of about Is and a long recess of
about 30 minutes; and, as | re-
call it, started for home some
where around half past one
O'Clock. This routine appeared
to be taken for granted, and no.
body thought of asking whether
the total number of classroom
minutes reached certain figure
established as minimum by
some board or bureau or COM
mission. Nor had it been ascer-
tanned then that to keep a small
child beyond an hour and a half,
or an hour and three quarters,
or whatever the period is, inn
periled his health. From some
of the remarks made the other
evening | gathered that Foy
Robertson and John Hocutt and
myself and others who were
taught by Miss Loula ought now,

BATTLES PARK
NOW PRESENTS
SAD SPECTACLE
Woodland Tract, Dear to Past
College Generations, Is
Now Neglected
OF NO USE IN JAZZ AGE

Battles Park, once the pride
of the University and the viii
lage, now presents a sad spec
tacle of neglect. The rustic
bridges which DIR. Battle built
across the brook have washed
away or fallen to pieces; the
paths which he laid out and
which he cared for so tenderly
are in some places overgrown
with weeds, in others gashed
with bitches and trenches; the
benches which he placed here
and there through the woods.
for strollers to sit upon, are
either ruined or gone.
OF the change that has come
about in the habits Of life in the
University community, there
could hardly be more striking
Illustration than the condition
of this stretch of woodland east
of the campus. A little while
ago everybody knew it intimate
ly, and everybody loved it. To-
day probably nine out of ten stu
dents stay their time here and go
away without ever walking
through the wood, and, to Judge
from its appearance, nobody
cares anything about it.
Lovers, in days gone by, de-
lighted to stroll there; now syl-
van solitude is out of date-the
modern couple prefers to speed
along the highways in an auto
mobile. On a Sunday afternoon
twenty or twenty-five years ago
students-alone, in twos and
threes, in larger groups-ambled
happily along the paths and
clambered up the hillsides; now
a more acceptable pastime is to
stare at the cars going by on the
main street, or to "hop rides" to
Durham.
Before the era Of automobiles
weekend visits home were rare;
now scores, sometimes hundreds,
OF students are absent from the
village on Sunday. Perhaps it
is the growth of the weekend
travelling habit, more than any
other one factor, that has put
Battles Park into the discard.
A few years ago sewage dis
posal plant was built alongside
the brook. At times it has been
Odorless, and at other times not
entirely so. AT any rate, it has
not added to the charm of the
Park. This week stroller
found the path below the plant
blocked by mixture of junk and
rubbish, and in order TO get a

Chapel Hill Chaf

When Mr.. Branson met me in
the post-office Sunday morning
and remarked that was getting
fat-a comment that l must say
is becoming frequent among my
friends-I replied, by way of
partial explanation, that l had
just eaten three poached eggs.
He astonished me by saying
that he hadn't eaten three eggs
in three years. To do without
eggs is my idea of the utmost
limit of privation. AS | talked
with him | was smoking the
Branson Special Secret Mixture
the fragrant product a liberal
quantity of which l had taken
away from his home in paper
bag three or four days before.
Eggs for. breakfast you can have
the world over, but eggs followed
by a pipeful of the Branson Mix
ture-this is rare felicity.
Score one more. point for the
charms of life in Chapel Hill.
Saturday after the Wake For
est football game | witnessed
what | believe was the first ath-
letic exhibition in the new Kenan
stadium. Tom Bost, Raleigh
correspondent of the Greensboro
NeWS, had left me on the top
row of the east stand and had
walked across the field with his
two sons. AS he reached the
parapet on the west side he
turned about, and then | was
flabbergasted to see this man,
who is approaching middle age,
sprint across the turf at comet
speed. ] do not know whether
he made the dash in order to go
down in history as the man
who gave the first public per-
formance in the stadium, or
whether it was just superabun-
dant exuberance. My instant
thought was that it was pity
we hadn't had as fast runner
on the varsity team when the
Wake Forest back picked up the.
tumble.
When William r. Kenan, Jr.,
was here Sunday he and DIR.
Mangum were talking about the
University Glee Club of the early
90's. Bill Kenan was eager to
go on tour with the club, but
the quality of his voice did not
satisfy Karl P. Harrington, the
Latin professor who then di-
rected the student singing. So
he and Charlie Mangum got
them some black tights and per-
fected, after much rehearsing, a
tumhling act which was intro
duced as a speciality between
songs. Ideas about glee clubs
have undergone considerable
change, and if Mr.. Harrington is
still a director Of student sing
ing, in tho institution where he
now teaches, | doubt very much
if he permits such features as
tumbling acts to be included in
his DroOram

MONTANA GENERAL
OUTLOOK FOR 1927

The general outlook for agriculture
n Montana in 1927 is favorable and in
'ome respects more favorable than
both year ago and two years ago. On
the favorable side we find better av-
erage mount and distribution of fall
and winter moisture, than during the
preceding two years. A larger winter
grain acreage has been seeded. which
in case of winter wheat shows $4,000
acres, an increase of fifteen percent
over the preceding year, and in case
of rye 12S 600 acres were seeded
against 100000 harvested in 1926.
While it is yet too early to deter
mine damage to winter grains, more
normal winter season and the fact
that winter damage to the two pre-
ceding crops was we'll above average,
would seem to indicate that damage
this season will be below that of 1926
and 1925. This holding true larger
winter wheat and rye acreage is in
prospect for 1927 than in either 1926
or 1925.
The outlook for livestock producers
is rated favorable.
