and many others of this species.
However, there were provisions
made that the rice growing states
would be permitted, with proper re-
strictions, to kill boblinks, also known
on the rice fields as "ricebirds," and
this is still allowed, with more string
ent regulations, while through the eff
forts of former U. s. Senator Sails
bury and the senator's from Maryland
and Virginia an open season was Sc
cured after being closed for a short
period of time.
A protest was entered by Great
Britain and Canada that while they
had lived up TO the treaty by pro-
hibiting the killing of this species of
migratory bird, the Bureau Of Bio
logical Survey was permitting them
to be killed in various states of the
Union that had no rice fields. After
several meetings with the solicitor
general Of the Department Of Agri-
culture and officials of the Bureau of
Biological Survey, Delaware Chapter,
Izaak Walton League of America,
found that it would require an act of
Congress and an act Of Parliament of
Great Britain to kill reed birds in
states that do not produce rice. 1t
was also declared by officials of the
Bureau of Biological Survey that the
department could not continue longer
to allow a violation of this law, in

Chapel Hill Chaf

I ran across in Durham yes
terday Red Powell, the celebrate
ed newspaper correspondent. He
has come from Washington to
join the staff of the Herald and
he promises, much to my salts
faction, to be a frequent visitor
in Chapel Hill. It is a pleasant
prospect to have in this vicinity
such a competent and lively
newspaper man as Mr.. Powell.
A woman who used to live in
Chapel Hill and went to New
York came back the other day
wearing cotton stockings. She
told her friends that among
smartly dressed people in the big
city cotton stockings were be-
coming exceedingly fashionable,
being regarded as somewhat
"exclusive." This bodies we'll for
textile manufacturers of North
Carolina. The switch from cot
ton to silk is credited with hav-
ing been largely responsible for
the slump in the prosperity of
the cotton mills. l am moved
to suggest that the textile men
take warning from their exper-
ience of the last few years and
establish a style-stimulating or
ganization. They ought to have
a we'll financed central bureau in
New York whose business it
would be to conduct propaganda
for fashions that would require
the liberal use of cotton goods.
Of course the thing would have
to be done deftly. The bureau
should be manned (and woman

Night Work on Stadium
Excavation Contractor Has Agreed to
Finish by May 1st

A strange noise has been puz-
zling the village.
1t is the whistle of the steam
shovel at work on the stadium
site south of the campus. But
why, people ask, should the thing
blow in the middle of the night d?
The answer is that the shovel
is being operated on a double
shift. -.~~-
.Nello Teer, the. excavating
contractor, has agreed to have
his job done by May l, and he
is taking all possible advantage
of good weather. T. C. Thomp-
son and Bros, the general con-
tractors, will begin the concrete
work in May and proceed with
it through the summer and fall
in order to have the stadium
ready for the Carolina Virginia
football game on Thanksgiving
day.
There are $4,000 cubic yards
of dirt to be excavated-to be
dug away from one place and
moved to another. The two
stands will require 1000 cubic
yards of concrete. They will
provide, altogether, Z miles of
seats. Each stand will have Al
rows, and the rows will have an
average length of about 500 feet.
By far the greater part of the
concrete will be laid upon the
solid natural ground-Only a
small part upon filled-in earth.
The contractor is piling up this
fill as promptly as possible so
that it may have ample time to
settle. 1t will be pressed down;
layer by layer, by heavy roll
er as the filling goes on.
The steam shovel is grubbing
up hundreds of stumps that were
left on the site by the axemen.
These stumps and their roots
are pulled away and dumped
south of the stadium site proper,
and they will be covered over
with earth.

Homeless Bernard Shaw
Youth With Magic Name Expects No
Comfort from BiOgrapher

There is a student in the Uni
versity named Bernard Shaw.
He lived with Mrs. MacRae.
Driven out by the fire, he went
about the village seeking a room.
AS soon as he told his name,
Bernard Shaw, everybody would
say: "Why, you ought to go to
Mr.. Archibald Henderson. He
would feel obliged to take you
in because of your name" But
this inspired no hope in the
young man. He said that Mr..
Henderson had already displayed
a callousness toward him by
f1unking him on math.
Miss Mary Cobb gave a show
er the other evening to a friend
of hers who had lost all her
clothes in the fire. Disguised as
a negro nanny, Miss Cobb
came in bearing a tray full of
lingerie donated by the guests
at the party.
The SECOND and third floors of
the MacRae house were reduced
to a ruin-all except one little
corner. After the fire a student
went up to unlock the closet
door in this corner and found his
clothes absolutely undamaged by
either fire or water.
.
At Christmastime the insur-
ance on the MacRae home a.
mounted to only $4,000. Cam,
the canny business man of Con-
cord, came on a holiday visit.
The insurance matter. happened
to come up in the conversation
and he said it would not do to
have such small protection. So
he had the insurance increased
to $11, ,OOO-just in time. If it
were not for the unblemished
reputation of Cam and of his
family l would not consider it
neighborly to record this timely
action.
