Famous Pilgrims Chapel
Again Brought to Light

LONDON (P-The casual removal
Of some ivy has disclosed the ruined
and forgotten tower of a once fa-
nous Canterbury Pilgrims chapel in
Brentwood Essex.
All that now remains of the chapel,
which was built by the monks of st.
Osyth's monastery, in 1921, is a ruined
tower which in the course of years
had become SO hemmed in with other
buildings that it's existence was for
gotten
1t stands in side road While
some ivy was being removed from
the neighboring buildings the ancient
stonework Of the tower was revealed
The town council decided to ask
for the ruins to be scheduled as an
historic building and preserved.
Brentwood was on the route taken
to the shrine of st. Thomas A. Beck
ett at Canterbury. The chapel was
built both so that they could pause
on their journey and pray, and also
SO that through their offerings the
monks of ST. Osyth's, might benefit
from their visit.

VISITING MOTORISTS
WILL PICK UP PILOTS

BERLIN P9-Automobile pilots are
a novel institution in Magdeburg. The
municipality has appointed 10 spe-

not know their way about.
Magdeburg is one of the principal
industrial cities in central Germany,
with 100000 inhabitants, and is the
first city in Germany to appoint spe-
cial officers to pilot cars driven by

Germans on "UrIaub"
Left Very Much Alone

BERLIN (F9-InSofar as pubic men
can disappear from public view while
on vacation, the statesmen OF re-
publican Germany succeed admirably
in so doing. Vacation, or "Urlaub"-
meaning leave-as it is called in Ger
man, is an almost sacred institution,
and even man in the forefront OF
public interest can be pretty sure
that he won't be bothered during his
"Urlaub.''
Not neWspaperman, for instance,
is detailed to hover about the vaca-
tioning grounds of President Won Hin
denburg. The executives summer
capital, Dietramszell, in the Bavarian
Alps, harbors no big staff of secre-
taries and stenographers. A few
trusted co-workers from Berlin are
sufficient to handle the routine. Such
news as occasionally seeps through
about the presidents hunting exploits
or some other feature of his daily
life is usually days old before it
reaches editorial offices. Only when
the soldier president ventures upon
an excursion to some nearby, spot is
there anything like an ovation and
cheering crowds.
Chancellor Marx, too, succeeds in
living in seclusion during his leave,
as does also Foreign Minister Strese-
mann. Occasionally an illustrated
weekly will bring a snapshot taken
of DR.. Stresemann while he is resting
up from a years labors, but almost
nothing is said in the press as to
how he spends his time Nobody
seems to care whether or not he
fishes, plays tennis, entertains friends
or reads books
Of the other members of the cabi-
net, only brief mention is made to
the effect that they have started on
'sUrlaub''

Stadium Taking Shape
Excavation of Athletic Bowl. Expected
to BE Completed June Is

In spite of the many protests
of Chapel Hill residents, some
of whom claim to have been Jar
red from the top story of their
garages, or jolted out of bed too
early in the morning, the ground
for the new stadium is slowly
taking on a bowl-shaped form.
The work on one side of the ra-
vine is almost finished, and with
allowance made for bad weather
the excavation will be completed
by June Is. There remains
something over 100000 cubic
yards Of earth to be removed.
All of the blasting required
hitherto has been done on the
side of the bowl nearest the tin
can. Dynamiting on the far side
of the ravine will probably not
cause such tremors as have
heretofore been felt.
The concrete job will be de-
layed more than a month, but it
is still the plan of the executive
committee to have the new bowl
ready Thanksgiving for the
Carolina-Virginia game.

and bear witness. to the
thoroughness Of their equip

ment the heavy mechanical
equipment was kept going full
blast. On the first floor electri-
cal and chemical experiments
were performed, some of them
being quite mysterious to the
visitors. On the second floor
there were other experiments,
and refreshments served by
pretty girls.

over the University's famous
radio station, AWE, from which
Operator T. b, Smiley was
