Dog Stealers

Three of Vernon Kyser's bird
dogs, Ruby, Joe, and Bob, were
stolen last week, and it is
thought that they were taken
by men passing through Chapel
Hill on trucks. Ruby had eight
puppies about two weeks old.
Mrs. Kyser has been trying to
keep them alive and well by
feeding them with a bottle. The
suspicion that truck-driving
strangers did the thieving aris-
es from the fact that they have
been known to offer dogs for
sale at various cities in North
Carolina.

COUNTY TAX RATE
LIKELY TO GO UP
10 CTS. TO S1.53
Because Levies in Past Years
We're Not Large Enough
to Cover Expenses
MAKING UP THE DEFICIT

This years county tax rate
will probably be about $1.53 on
the 500 of assessed valuation,
an increase of 19 cents over last
years. The exact figures will
be determined by the commits
sioners at their next meeting,
which is expected to take place
within a week or two.
+ The tax rate of the town of
Chapel Hill, which was $1.38
last year, is apt to be $1.40. Thus
the taxpayer in Chapel Hill
faces an increase of 21 cents.
If the valuations |of the as
SCISSORS had stood, the town rate
would not have gone UP, and it
might have gone down a cent. or
two. But the 10 per cent. re-
duction in Chapel Hill assess
ments, decreed by the commits
sioners, makes necessary the
two-cent rise in the rate. BY
reason of the reduction the in
crease in the total valuations in
the town is actually less than
the valuations of new buildings
erected within the last year.
The 19-cent advance in the
county rate is due to the fact
that in previous years the com
missioners did not levy enough
taxes to pay current expenses.
This resulted, of course, in pill
ing up a deficit. Now, under the
new county government law,
there must be included in this
years budget an appropriation
to clear up the deficit.
The tax valuations in the coun-
ty amount to about $17,000,000.
The budget for this year is
$261, 900. The rate is obtained
by dividing the budget by the
total valuations.

Sides Turns to Music

l.. R, Sides, who was super
intendent of the Chapel Hill
school, has decided to quit the
field of school administration
and devote himself to a career
of music.
He reached this determination
after going to New York and
talking with Peter w. Dykema,
head of the music department
in Columbia University. Mr..
Dykema told him of the excel
lent opportunities in band and
orchestral music, and their con-
ference led to the engagement
of Mr.. Sides as a teacher of in
strumental music in the Horace
Mann and Lincoln schools, which
are affiliated with Columbia.
Along with his instruction work
he will pursue studies in the
music department of Teachers
College.
Mr.. Dykema and Mr.. Sides
became acquainted last spring al
Greensboro, where the Chapel
Hill school band won first hon.
orable mention in the interschol-
astic band music contest.
Mr.. Sides goes to New York
next month, but his wife and
daughter will stay in North Car
olina until next spring. His
present program calls for two
years Of instruction and study
in the metropolis, but his friends
here think it not unlikely that
he will III sstt:a.yy stay lenegess llenege He He has has
leased his home out on the Pitts
boro highway to the McCorkles.

SOUTHWEST END
OF TOWN NEEDS
SEWER SYSTEM
Aldermen May Have to Solve
the Difficulty by Financing
a New Disposal Plant
ALTERNATIVE is A PUMP

The most important question
to come before the board of al
dermen at their meeting next
Monday evening has to do with
a sewer system for the south
west part of the village.
This part of Chapel Hill has
been built up rapidly within the
last two or three years. Most
of the new homes are served by
septic tanks, and the owners of
some of these are anxious to get
rid of them. The lay of the land
is such that connections cannot
be made with the pipes leading
to the disposal plant in Strowd's S
lowgrounds unless a pump is in
stalled.
The aldermen will consider
two alternatives: (1) a pump
to force the sewage upgrade to
the present pipes, and (2) a new
system of pipes leading south
west, with a new disposal plant
in the Morgan's creek bottom.
This last would cost around
$35, 900, but in the end might
prove the more economical.
The situation is somewhat
complicated by the fact that a
number of the homes in this
section of the community are
outside the corporate limits of
Chapel Hill. The question aris-
es whether the town should is
sue bonds for an improvement
the greater part of which would
be beyond its limits.
Possibly it will be decided
some day to extend the town to
take in this section. But this
can be done only after the au-
thorizing act has passed the leg
isIature and after an election
has been held.

Miss Denham's Evening
Massage Treatment for Insomnia Fol.
lowed by Exciting Event

Mrs. Koch and her sister were
going to the moving pictures one
evening last week, and so Miss
Adeline Denham, Mrs. Koch's
niece, arranged to go uptown
early and have her massage
treatment, which she takes for
insomnia, so that she could get
back and stay with the baby,
Julian, while her aunt was gone; ;
and she got back on schedule
time; and soon after the play
goers had left a telephone mes
sage came from Mrs. Elliott's,
where Bobby Koch had gone to
listen to a bedtime story which
Miss Lucille Elliott was telling
to young D. d. Carroll, Miss Ell
liott's nephew; and the tele-
phone message said that Dixie,
the Koch fox terrier, which had
gone with Bobby, was frothing
at the mouth, and they thought
he was mad, and the town gov
ernment in the persons Of DR..
Nathan, the health officer, and
a policeman, had been summon
ed and Dixie was tied to a tree
in the yard; and Miss Miss Denham
didn't believe Dixie was mad
and wanted to go and bring
Bobby and Dixie both home, but
she couldn't leave home because
she had to stay with Julian, and
so she didn't know just what to
do; and Kent Brown, a neigh
Dor, came in and told Miss Den
ham that he would go for Dixie
and Bobby; but Miss Denham
said no, that Dixie was not ac-
quainted with Mr.. Brown and
would refuse to go with him and
might froth at the mouth more
than ever; so it was decided
that Mr., Brown should stay
with Julian, who was asleep and
knew nothing about the affair I;
so Miss Denham went to the Ell
liotts' where she found Dixie
had wound the rope round and
round the tree; and Miss Den
ham led Dixie home, with Bobby
trotting alongside, and placed
Dixie in the basement and Mrs.
Koch and her sister came home
from the moving pictures at a
bout II o'clock and so Miss
Denham went to bed to see how
well the massage treatment
served as a cure for insomnia.

Moody Durham has been ap-
pointed game warden for this
county. | have received from
the department of conservation
and development in Raleigh a
copy of the instructions to
Game Wardens," and in it l find
this passage: STRAY cats should
be killed by game protectors at
every opportunity. In Pennsyl-
vania game protectors carry
guns and shoot all homeless
cats" | hope Mr.. Durham will
arm himself with gun and Wis
it my neighborhood. An enor-
nous white-and-gray cat has
been prOwling about my yard
with the purpose, | have no
doubt, of preying upon the birds.
| found him yesterday morning
crouched near the bird-bath with
en- evil look in his eyes.
There are some things in
Chapel Hill that | positively do
not like. One is the monument
recently erected at the corner by
the Presidents house. This hid
eous object spoils what was one
of the most beautiful vistas in
Chapel Hill. Of course in these
days there have to be standards
of some sort to encourage care
! full driving at crossings, but it
does seem that one of a less Of
fensive design might have been
erected at this particular place.
| =
Another thing | dislike is the
rowing about the village of loose
dogs. They are not merely an
annoyance-they are dangerous.
A boy was attacked by a dog and
bitten while he was riding on a
bicycle last week, and frequently
see large dogs, unmuzzled and
unaccompanied, on Rosemary
lane near the printshop.
| saw a squirrel run across my
yard the other day carrying in
its mouth an apple almost as
large as tennis ball, and from
the direction of it's journey |
knew that it has been in Yer
non Howell's orchard. Mr..
Howell told me the next morn
ing that bluejays, woodpeckers,
and squirrels had been raiding
t | his apple trees, and that in his
garden, after hearing a queer
sucking sound, he had found a
terrapin with its head half bur
led in big red tomato. His ex-
perience with cherries, all of
which were consumed by the
birds, determined him not to
wait for the apples to ripen.
While they were still green he
shook them off the trees and
gathered them from the ground
to be converted into apple-sauce.
do not know how he will solve
the problem of the tomatoes.
Probably the terrapins are not
numerous enough to destroy a
considerable portion of the crop.
Persons of all ages have been
engaged in building the. Kenan
stadium, The smallest worker
| have seen there is Weekly Wool
len, who is somewhere around
seven years old. AS looked
from across the arena, and saw
him playing the hose on the con-
crete at the top of the east stand,
he seemed about the size of a
rabbit.

general public that buses would carry
railroad passengers between the down
town district and the then terminus at
the District line. In that edition also
was a letter from "A Citizen who
took occasion to remark that the only
reason the railroad was entering the
Capital was to get some of the trade
for Baltimore that otherwise would go
via canal.
BY that time engines had become
standard equipment for trains, and
three days after the line to Washing
ton was in operation the Intelligencer
had this to say:
"The Baltimore and Washington
Railroad has been in successful opera
ton since Monday last. The cars go
| regularly twice day between the two
cities; at least for the present, from
and to the District line. They have
gone occasionally at the rate of 20
miles an hour"

WHAT is the origin Of these sylla-
w bles. Do. Re, Mi. Fa. So. La ST. a;
names for the seven notes OF the musi-
cal scale? In histories of music their
invention or discovery is attributed To
Guido d'Arezzo or Aretinus, q Bene-
dictine monk who lived near Ravenna,
Italy. in the first half of the eleventh
century. AS a music teacher of his
fellows in the Pomposa monastery he
was credited with tha production of a.
teaching OF music which gave imme-
diate results in singing that before
him could scarcely be attained in 10
years.
Guido went to Rome to teach PUpe
John to sing and he met with com
plete success by means of his new
syllables: after but one lesson the
Pope was able to find the tone oE an
antiphon and to sing it. Guido called
his system solmisation; 1t consisted in
part of the use of the now we'll known
syllables. In the refectory of the mo-
mastery at Avellana is portrait of
Guido which Is thus inscribed: "Beatus
Guido inventor musicae."
But deeper search into the history
of these syllables or kindred ones dis
closes that they were used by the
Hindus long before. The earliest men
ton of the musical scale (the seven
notes) occurs in the Vedangas, the
Chandas and the Siksha. This early
notation, preceding the Christian re-
ligion, passed from the Hindus to the
Persians, from these to the Arabs and
finally. in the time OF the Clusades, to
Europe There is no doubt that Guido
d'Arezzo did not invent them, but his
is the honor to introducing them into
European music.

miles an hour. The trip came to a
rather inglorlous end. however, so far
as the Tom Thumb was concerned,
for on the way back, on stretch
where the road was double-tracked,
race was staged with horse drawn
car, and when something went wrong
with Tom Thumb, the horsedraWn
layout cantered home an easy winner.
The Tom Thumb, by the way, look
ed like the grandfather of the devices
that are used nowadays to convert
corn into liquid, with the difference
that it was mounted on a four-Wheeled
truck, But Notwithstanding it's short
comings, 1t marked a new era in
