On that particular morning, how

large quantity of wheat cakes and
sausage without knowing in the least
what she was eating. She was too
deeply engrossed in an eager obser'

Patricia picked up her box of candy

somewhat forbiddingly but thawed
eppreciably on seeing the candy.

To Meet State College
Carolina Goes to Raleigh Tomorrow
for Annual Football Match

The University Of North Carolina
football team goes down to Raleigh
tomorrow Saturday for it's annual
match with the State College Of Ag-
riculture and Engineering.
Despite the record of defeats this
season, the University supporters are
hopeful of victory. The perform
ance of the team in Atlanta last
week, even though the game was lost
to Georgia Tech by 1870, seems to
justify considerable degree of op-
timism.
"The hardest won 1870 football
game ever played" is the way Nor
gan Blake, former Vanderbilt star
and now sports writer for the At
lanta Journal, describes the Carolina
Tech encounter.
"The Yellow Jackets came out on
top" says Mr.. Blake, "but for every
one of those 13 points Tech paid in
agonized sweat of the brow. On two
occasions on the one-yard line the
Tech forwards pulled themselves to-
gether to take the ball away on downs
from the Tar Heels when touchdown
would have meant a tied game. Early
in the first quarter Tech hurled back
another threat within her six-yard
line. We do, not care to ever live
over again those painful moments.
Eliminate those three minutes Of
the game when Tech was scoring the
two touchdowns, and North Carolina
completely outpointed the Jackets. In
other words Tech won three minutes
Of the contest and North Carolina
won fffty-seven.
"North Carolina brought a team
to Atlanta this year that lived up to
all the great traditions Of that uni.
versity. How those Ter Heels can
light! How they can tackle! And
how those wonderful ends refused abb
sOlutely to be boxed out of plays. And
how the whole doggone team<did Eeep
the thousands of Tech supporters In
a constant perspiration Of apprehen-
sion! Boys, you'll have to hand 1t
to that courageous band Of Carolin-
,ians. They went down with their
boots on, II ever team did"

Tariff Study Baked
Costigan Tells How Scientific Treat.
ment of Problem Was ThwaFted

r. In his talk here Tuesday evening,
at the Conference on Living Costs,
Edward b. Costigan, member of the
United States Tariff Commission,
told how the purpose for which the
body had been ereated-the expert
and equitable treatment Of the tariff,
predetermined been thwarted by the
prostitution of the commission to
private interests. After the enact
ment of the flexible t4riff law by the
Harding administration, he said, the
character of the appointments to the
commission had been such that it
could not carry through such reduc-
tions in duties as were justified by
the facts about the cost production
here and abroad.
Mr. Costigan did not hesitate to
place responsibility for the thwarting
of scientific tariff regulation upon the
present and preceding Republican ad-
ministrations. He told, for example,
how an appeal to President Coolidge
had failed to prevent commissioner
financially interested in sugar plan
tation from voting upon a question
of reduction in the sugar duty, and
how an act Of congress had been
necessary to disqualify the man from
voting upon this question.
Among the other speakers at the
conference were Miss Gertrude We'll,
Il. j, Woodhouse, Mrs. Chase Going
Woodhouse, Miss Ethel T. Parker,
and B. F. Brown.

NEW TELEPHONE
SYSTEM IS NOW
BEING INSTALLED
II is Expected That Operation
On Dial Han Will Begin
About December 3.
WIRES LAID UNDERGROUND

The automatic telephone sys-
tenn is now in process of installa-
ton. An expert with three as
sistants is busy putting the in
tricate mechanism in the new
fireproof building on Rosemary
lane near Henderson street; and
Mr.. Rush expects to have the
dial telephones in operation by
December 3.
The wires that traverse theo
university campus are being
placed underground, and there
will be no telephone wires on the
main street between Boundary
and Church streets.
The automatic dial system
will obviate the necessity of a
central, although long-distance
and information operators will
still be retained. A subscriber,
by turning a dial on his instru-
ment to four successive digits,
will set into operation electro
magnets which will automati-
cally select and ring the number
he desires; and he will have no.
body to blame but himself if he
gets the wrong number. With
the increased facilities it will
have in its new home, the tele-
phone management will be pre-
pared to discontinue party lines
and to furnish direct telephone
lines to all of its subscribers.
The Automatic Electric Com
pany Of Chicago is the manufac-
turer of the automatic equip
ment. It's representative here,

assistants are cosmopolites as

Mosher Resigns from School in
Interest of Community Harmony

E. R. Mosher has resigned
from the superintendency of the
Chapel Hill school in the inter-
est of community harmony. This
fact, which became generally
known after the meeting of the
school board last week, is stated
in the following letter from N.
w. Walker, secretary of the
board and also acting dean of
the University's school of educa-
ton:
Dear Mr.. Graves: | have
your gracious request for a short
statement of the present school
situation in the Chapel Hill COM
munity.. In my humble - judg~
ment too much has been said al
ready, and | am not so immodest
as to believe that any word |
might say through the columns
of your paper would receive
much attention now The less
that is said at this time concern
ing the recent unpleasantness
and the actual causes thereof.
the better it will be for all con-
cerned. But must, | suppose,
comply with your request, how
ever much | should prefer to
be strolling through these love-
ly autumn woods letting LOT
of old cobwebs blow out of my
mind (or be brushed out). Real
ly, Mr.. Editor, the woods around
Chapel Hill are getting so Won
derfully glorious just now, and
some of us would be greatly re-
freshed, I'm sure, if we could

when the present emotional
excitement subsidies sufficiently
for the recent episode to be
viewed calmly in retrospect,
maybe the Chapel Hill commun-
ity will begin to realize what
has been done, and why, and
who is responsible for it. May
be, too, the community will be
in a somewhat more charitable
mood than it seems to be at pres
ent. When we as a community
are in a better frame of mind,
and can consider our school sit
uation and the. educational wei
fare of our children calmly,
then it will be early enough for
full statement of the whole
affair and it's bearing upon our
future school development to be
made. I'm not dodging your re-
quest. The time simply is not
opportune for the community to
consider the whole affair in all
its relationships.
AS to the recent action with
regard to the personnel of the
school administration, the fact
Is simply this; At last weeks
meeting of the school board Mr.,
Mosher, in the interest of COM

resignation, and it was accepted.

BLISS CARMAN. :.
EMINENT POET,
Is COMING HERE
Man Who, With HOvey, Wrote
the Songs from VagabOndia,"
To Give a Reading
NEXT THURSDAY AT $3.50

Bliss Carman, one of Amer
ica's most celebrated poets, is
coming to Chapel Hill next week.
He will give reading from his
poems in Gerard Hall Thurs
day evening at $3.50 and will ac-
company the reading by an in
formal, talk about poets and
poetry.
He is brough here by the Uni
versity lecture committee, and
there is no admission charge.
Mr.. Carman was born in Can
ada in 1861 and was educated
at the University of New Bruins
wick, at Edinburgh, and at Har-
ward. He came to live in the
United States in his tWentfes,
and his exceptional talent
promptly won him not only high
favor among the general read
ing public but also recognition
from the country's most discern
ing critics.
His first book of lyrics, pub
lished in 1898, was LoW Tide on
Grand Pre-. In the next few
years came his co-authorship
with Richard Hovey in Songs
from Vagdb0ndiG, More Songs
from Vdgd6ondia, and Last
Songs from Vagabondia. "A
Bohemian open-road friendliness
and daring" is the quality that,
according to one commentator,
distinguishes the style of Car
man and Hovey in these vaga-
bond songs. Theirs is the po-
etry of college youth, off together
on a vacation, roughing it some,
seeking adventures In action or
amours, enamoured of natures
mystery and beauty, holding
conventions Except fraternity
conventions) a good deal in
allegiance if not in contempt, and
united in friendship that is less
amorous but more various and
enduring than love, Gay, bois-
ferrous, youthful poetry, resound-
ing with the shouts and derisive
laughter of two revolters from
mid-Victorianism and the al
luminous American limitations. y

Red Cross Asks Clothing for Flood Sufferers

A representative of the chap
ter will be on hand to receive
contributions. Persons who are
unable to bring clothing to the
bank may have it called for at
their homes by telephoning 249-
blue.
The statement of the needs of
the flood victims is based upon
a personal survey of the situa-
tion by Herbert Hoover and Red
Cross officials. "The suffering
will be intense unless the needs
for clothing are speedily met
said Mr.. Hoover in Washington
this week. "If there's a lack Of
warm garments the danger from
diseases caused or augmented by
exposure will be greatly in
creased. Many of the flood suf-
ferers are still in quarters of a
temporary nature, and will need
a more abundant wardrobe than
they would need under normal
conditions.

The School Affair

Differences of opinion about tn.
conduct of the Chapel Hill school a
rose soon after the fall term opened.
After these had flared into a dispute
they were quieted by a conference of
committee of citizens with the school
board. Last week they flared up a
gain because some of the second grade
children who were supposed to attend
only in the morning came home and
informed their parents they had been
told to return to school in the after
noon. What had happened was that
these children had somehow taken
for themselves repark the teacher,
Miss Peasants, had addressed to the
regular afternoon attendants. Un-
der the optional arrangement, a.
greed upon four or five weeks ago,
the children attending in the after
noon went home for the midday re-
cess, go or 40 minutes earlier than
the rest of the class and thereby
missed certain required work in read
ing. Miss Peasants told them she
would give them this reading lesson
in the afternoon so that they could
keep up with the required program
of Instruction; and somehow the sin
gle-sessioners got it into their heads
that they too were expected to return
fer reading drill in the afternoon.
This caused a great stir in the homes
of the group of parents unfriendly
to the double session, and they thought
that perhaps the school administration
had reversed the compromise optional
arrangement. Whereupon some of
them began to protest vigorously.
Superintendent Mosher hadn't given
any order for a change of schedule
and nobody was more surprised than
Miss Peasants when she heard that
her morning only children had sup
posed they We're expected to return
after the midday meal. Such mis-
understanding by very young chill
dren is not particularly surprising,
and nobody hearing the explanation
blamed the teacher; bat she was dis
turbed, naturally enough, at being
put in the light of having given an
order in defiance Of the agreed-upon
program.
Among the criticisms heard along
the street, from some of the protest
ing parents, was one in which | could
not see, and still fail to see, any good
sense. This was to the effect that
it was not proper policy for the school
to have unsalaried teachers is,
teachers receiving no compensation
for their services to the children of
the community, Why not? see no
more reason for not accepting the
