Weaver InstaIls a
Pasteurizing Plant
New Machinery in Operation at the
Oak Grove Dairy

c. H. Weaver has built a pas
teurizing plant at his Oak Grove
Dairy four miles northeast of
/! Chapel Hill, and he is inviting
the people of the village to come
out and see it.
The plant, including the brick
Building and the equipment, rep
resents an investment of about
$4,000. In the main room are
a great vat where the, pasteur-
lzlng is done, a machine for the
production of Tactic acid milk,
a series of coils for cooling, and
a bOttling machine. In one cor
ner Of the building is a refriger-
ating room, and adjoining this
is a laboratory for the daily test
ing of milk.
A person not familiar with
modern dairy practice is mysti-
fed when he enters the place,
but an expert, r. l.. Thomason,
is on hand to explain all the vari-
Gus processes. Mr.. Thomason
took two-year course in chem
istry and bacteriology at the
Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh,
and he has been in charge of
plants at Raleigh, New Bern and
Greenville.
He shows you thermometers
and thermostats used in regulat-
ing the heat, the nickel lining of
the containers and pipes, and the
cooling devices; he explains how
the milk goes through the plant
without human handling; and he
gives a demonstration of how
the bottles are mechanically fill
ed and sealed.

Automobile parties have been
streaming into the village to see
the Kenan Stadium since the
news went out that the struc-
ture was completed. Of course
the word completed is not to be
taken literally, for considerable
work remains to be done; but
the two concrete stands are up,
and the playing field is graded
and shows a rich growth of
grass.
More than fifty cars, bearing
the license tags of various cities
and towns, were parked along
the roads near the enclosure at
one time Tuesday.

from Morganton, "all these
l24,000 seats will be filled at the

Day. About dozen of us came
down two years ago, and I've
heard at least a hundred say
they are coming this year.

There were many expressions

New Paving, Maybe
Possibility of Curb Curb Hard Sur.
face on Franklin Street

Among the property owners
along West Franklin street a pc
tition for curb-to-curb paving is
now being circulated.
When the state decided last
year to lay an 18-feet-wide con-
crete strip on this stretch, the
town government Joined in with
the highway commission and did
additional paving of it's own. The
whole width was concreted as
far as the corner by the old
Baptist church, and from there
on westward were built two
roadways with a dirt space left
between; this, presumably, was
to be planted with grass, shrubs,
and trees.
Now some of the people who
own property facing on the
street think that the middle
space should also be paved.
Foreseefng the development of
West Franklin street for busi-
ness purposes, they, say that the
public interest will be better
served by a hard surface from
curb-to-curb. They say, too,
that the placing on the state map
of the new Nelson-to-Graham
route will sd4ncrease the volume
OF traffic as to make the entire
street width necessary.

seeds came up quickly both be-
cause of the care taken to OBJ
tain the proper kind of soil and
because of the use of a vigorous
fertilizer. Along with the plant
ing, shoots of hardy wire grass,
taken from fields in and around
the village, were worked into
the ground. Thus far the
growth is visible only on the
central section of the arena, the
part where the playing will take
place; but the outer area. near-
er the stands, has now been
planted, and within a week or
so the whole expanse will be
green.
The contractors are almost
ready to begin placing the wood
en- seats. These are of Douglas
fir, said to be the most durable
kind of lumber. They will rest
on iron brackets sunk fast into
the concrete. The wooden seats
are half the width of the con-
crete steps, so that every spec
tator will have ample room for
his feet behind the person in
front of him.
The foundations of the field
house, at the south end of the
field, have been laid, and the con-
struction of this unit will pro-
ceed apace. 1t is here that the
competing teams will have their
dressing rooms, lockers, and

are to be provided for meetings

Soda Fountains Galore
Village to Have Abundant Opportun-
ity to Indulge in Soft Drinks

The observers of commercial
expansion in Chapel Hill, having
nothing better to do in these dull
August days, have figured out
that there will be nine soda
fountains on the main business
block of the village during this
next college year.
The new installations will be
at Fosters, at Gus Thomas's in
the Sorrell theatre, at the Car
DINA Smoke Shop, and at Crab
trees in the Tankersley building.
The Carolina Grill, which was
recently established next door to
the PickWick, has a fountain.
And then there are the four
that have been for years; Eu-
banks Patterson's, Sutton and
Alderman's, and the Carolina
Confectionery's.
Whatever slumps come in
other businesses, the venders of
soft drinks and ice cream seem
to be kept fiourishing by the
Chapel Hill community's insati-
able appetite.

Are Inspecting It
RIVALRY WITH PICKWICK?

w. B. Sorrells moving picture
theatre, now approaching CON-
pletion, will be operated by the
Publix-Saenger Theatres of
North Carolina, Incorporated.
This is the concern which oper-
ates the National in Greensboro
and also, it is generally under
stood, the Paris in Durham.
1t is not yet known on just
what day the first show will he
given in the new building, but
it will probably be between the
first and the fifteenth of Sep
tember. The formal grand
opening" may take place a few
days later,
The construction of the the
atre has been watched with in
terest by the people of Chapel
Hill, and in the last few days
passers-by have been going in
side to look at the auditorium.
Little remains to be done here
except the mounting of the
screen and the installation of the
seats. The seating capacity will
be 800. The construction is such
as to afford protection from fire,
and there are two big emergency
exits, fianking the screen, at the
north end.
The plasterers and painters
have about finished their work
on the two store spaces on the
Franklin street front, one on
each side of the entrance lobby.
Mr.. Sorrell will have his jewel
ry and optical establishment in
INN, At these. He has ordered
a completely new set Of fixtures
and furnishings FROM Charlotte
SHOW cases, wall cases, Etc.
and in the rear he will have d
room for optometric examina-
tions. The other space will be
occupied by Gus Thomas, the
waffle shop man, who said yes
terday that he hoped to install
his soda fountain and other
equipment soon. This is to be
his second place in Chapel Hill;
he will continue to conduct his
waffle shop.
The citizens of Chapel Hill
have INDUCED in considerable
speculation as to the effect the
new theatre will have upon the
Pickwick. The opinion seems to
be widespread that there will be
enough patronage for both the
houses to keep going success
fully, certainly during the col
lege year.

Men S Dress Again

This is the season when | feel
the urge to counsel the world,
once again, about mems dress,
And my already lively interest
in the subject receives an adj
ditional stimulus just now from
an editorial in the New York
Times.
The occasion of the editorial
was the return from Washing
ton of a New Yorker who ex-
pressed the wish that his fell
low citizens had the courage and
good sense to wear the white or
light-colored tropical clothing"
which he had observed in the
capital. He was told in reply
that the climate was much cool
er in the metropolis than on the
Potomac and that Washington
fashions in clothes would be un-
comfortable and conspicuous
here" The TimeS'S observa-
tions age, in substance, as fol-
lows: Many summer days are
as hot in New York as in Wash
ington, but New Workers have
never been willing to admit this
and so have been slow to adopt
the Southern custom of wearing
suits made of the thinnest and
lightest material. There has
been some change for the better
in recent years. For example,
"the waistcoatless man, though
still frowned upon by the stylish,
is a common sight" Shirts
with soft collars are to be seen
everywhere, thin suits are much
in evidence, and the general ten
dency is toward health, com
fort, and sanity. The fact that
the lighter shades of clothing
easily become soiled is not the
only circumstance that deters
NGw York men from wearing
them; "the New Yorker is Sc
afraid of doing something out
of the ordinary that even if he
had the clothes he would moi
dare to wear them in town" An
alternative is to go coatless.
This is permitted in many Of
fees, but the coatless man must
be belted. IF he wears sus-
penders he is almost guilty of in
decency-just why, no one has
yet ever been able to discover. "
Furthermore, he may be coat
less only while at work; should
he wish to go to a meal or to a
movie show without coat he
would run the risk of being
thrown out.

OF UNIVERSITY
New West Reconstruction and
Phillips Hall Wing Are
First on Schedule
LIBRARY PLANS PROCEED

With the opening of the fall
term about a month. away, the
contractors for the University's
buildings, 7. c. Thompson &
Bros, are about to begin to carry
out the building program for
which the last legislature appro-
priated $1,220,000. The two
projects that will be put under
way Immediately are the new
wing of Phillips Hall (the engi-
neering, mathematics, and phys
les building) and the reconstruc-
tion of the interior of New West.
For the former $55, 900 is avail,
able, and for the latter 100000.
The reconstruction of the in
terror of the Smith dormitory
will be completed within two or
three weeks. The money for
this came out of the institutions
maintenance funds. ..
Work on the plans for the liz
brary, the largest and most i'm
pOrtant structure on the sched-
ule, has proceeded steadily, and
it is expected that ground will
be broken before the year is out.
The library, for which the leg
islature allotted $625,00O, will
stand on the edge of the woods
facing the South building and
about two hundred yards from
it. No announcement has been
made yet with regard to the To-
cation of, or the time of begin
ming, the classroom building in
cluded in the program. The cost
of this is to be about 10000.
1t will probably be just beond
Murphey Hall in a position cor
responding to that of the Steele
dormitory.
One of the items in the budget
approved by the trustees build
ing committee at their meeting
in June was $4,000 for depart
mental equipment. A consider
able part of the equipment has
been ordered and will be in use
this fall.
Memorial Hall is to undergo
extensive alterations. In order
to make it really serviceable
auditorium the architects, At
wood and Nash, plan to restore
the old inclined floor for which
a level floor was substituted
when the building was brought
into use as a gymnasium more
than a quarter of a century ago.
A pipe organ is to be installed
at the south (rear) end, and the
present porch will be cut away
and a new entrance designed for
the north 'front.' end.
The building committee, whose
members are scattered all over
the country in this vacation sea-
son, will no doubt have a meet
ing toward the end of next
month.
