Water Service Extended
Pipe Laid Down StrOwd's Hill and
Half Mile beyond Bridge

A pipe was laid this week a.
long the state highway down
Strowd's hill, on the way to Dur
ham, and half a mile or so be-
yond the bridge. This gives wa
ter service to several families in
the valley northeast of the vii
lage.
Jack Sparrow was the prime
mover in the enterprise. and as
sociated with him were Charles
Martindale, AID Duke, John
Thompson, Seton Lloyd, and T.
r. HarWood. The work was
done with great rapidity under
the direction of Mr.. Martindale.
Any property owner who wants
a connection with the new wa
ter line should communicate with
Mr.. Sparrow.
Since the pipe is two inches in
diameter the families reached by
it will have a good measure of
fire protection.
Thus one more locality is
brought within the range of the
conveniences enjoyed by the.
Chapel Hill community. For at
least three or four years electric
light and telephone wires and
water lines have been going out
in every direction from the vii
lage, so that now the Suburbs"
feel that they really are a part of
Chapel Hill. These develop
ments will probably lead in time
to an extension of the corporate
limits.

To the Editor:
Feeling that your article on road
work in last weeks issue of your pa
per was great injustice to Commits
sioner j. H. Hammer we the undersign-
ed citizens of Efland and Cedar
Grove, respectfully request that you
publish these facts in justice to him
In the first place the road in ques-
tion was ordered to be widened and
worked by the old set of Commission
ers last summer after all three mem
bers had personally gone over the
road, and this was before Mr. Hammer
was elected. Secondly, the road is not
so unimportant as you have been led
to believe. 1t has been an old es-
tablished public road for more than
fifty years and a mail route for more
than twenty-five years. AS many
land owners and tax payers reside on
this road as any average public road
in the county.
The road force could not get to this
road last year and as the Carr Meb-
ane road tone Of the bond issue

was badly in need of repair it GER

STADIUM READY
WHEN CAROLINA
MEETS VIRGINIA
Report That Il Would Not Be
Ready in Time for the
Game Was Incorrect
TURF MAY BE HAILED IN

Already wooden forms show
the outline of seats, and the
pouring oAconcrete for the new
Kenan stadium is about to be-
gin. This point of progress has
been reached on the north side
of the field, and before many
more days have passed a start
will be made on the forms on the
south side.
The report got abroad a week
or so ago that the University
athletic authorities had given
up hope of having the stands
ready for the Virginia game next
Thanksgiving Day. But this is
not correct. The work schedule
in the Office of Graduate Man
ager Woollen indicates compile
tion by the first of November.
1t is likely that the problem
of playing surface will be solv-
ed by the hauling in of turf. At
first it was planned to plant
grass in time to get a good
growth by November, but the
great masses of rock unexpect-
edly encountered, proIonging the
excavation job, threw the sche-
dule out of gear, and so it looks
as if the field will not be ready
for seeding as soon as was an
ticipated.
There has been some talk to
the effect that thew M. /. game,
which comes three weeks before
Thanksgiving, may be played in
the stadium, but thus far that is
no more than rumor. 1t may be
that within the next few weeks
there will be some definite infor-
nation about it.
At last the rock on the sta
dunn site seems to have come to
an end, and whatever blasting is
heard from now on will be for
the purpose of shattering some
of the loose boulders that are
lying about. The rock caused,
altogether, a delay of about six
weeks in the excavation, but the
schedule had. provided enough
margin for this not to spoil the
plan for the Thanksgiving game.
Gossip places the amount that
Nello Teer lost on the excavation
at more than $4,000.

Committee Passes Buck
Trustee Group Refers Certain Matters
to the Whcle Board

The question of whether a
dormitory or classroom build
ing should be included in the
University's improvement pro-
gram got the main share of the
attention of the trustees execu-
tive committee at the meeting
at its gathering here Monday.
1t was finally voted to recon-
mend a classroom building but
to leave the final decision to the
full board of trustees at its
meeting here next month.
Josephus Daniels was the
champion of the dormitory.
When it became apparent that
the rest of the committee did
not agree with him he proposed
that the question go to the board
without any recommendation,
but the opinion on the. other side
was too strong for him to win
that point.
With both the building COM
mittee and. the executive COM
mittee in favor of a classroom
building, it is probable that the
board will also approve it.
Another matter that the COM
mittee passed on to the full
board was the application for
land back of the Carolina Inn for
the construction of fraternity
houses. Beyond the railroad,
running south along the high
way for two or three hundred
yards, is a wooded stretch that
some persons think will never be
needed for University buildings,
and the idea has been advanced
that perhaps, by turning over
this tract to fraternities, the
University might acquire "fra-
ternity row" on the west edge of
the campus near the Mary Ann
Smith dormitory. There is con-
siderable doubt, however, as to
whether such an exchange can be
achieved.
Among those who attended the
executive committee meeting,
besides University officials, were
Josephus Daniels, Felix Harvey,
John Sprunt Hill, Haywood Par
ker, Leslie We'll, and w. N. Ev-
erett.

l Conditions last night were fair, only. There was considera ble fading
 and there was plenty Of interference, mainly buzzing. That buzzing seems | to be regular thing, nowadays,
 and it is possible to hear it at, any
 time during the day. For instance,
 We tuned in yesterday afternoon and there it was. We tuned in Thursday
 at noon and there it was. Ths morn
 ing at about 8 o'clock We tuned in
 and there it was. Moral: There it is 1 The Goldman band program from /, WTIC last evening was the last of
 the season under the winter sched-
 ule. They will be heard throughout the summer, but they will be play ing at Central Park and the pro- grams will be broadcast both by the
 National Broadcasting Company and
 by WNIC, the municipal station of New York. What we wanted to say
 vas that last nights program was i highly appropriate as a farewell. A
 group Of selections, favorites of fans
 during the past winter, was pre-
 sented during the hour allotted to the band and this group included
 the colorful Chinese Wedding Pro- cession,' excerpts from 'Lohen-
 srin," Tschaikowsky's familiar
 ''Marche Militaire,' selections from
 Victor Herbert's "Mlle. Modiste" and
 Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2." The program was well balanced and transmission was wei night per feet. Graham McNamee officiated as announcer and he presented the titles of numbers. together with in- cidental remarks of a more or less humorous nature, in his character istic clear tones.
 We stayed at WIIC to hear the Chamber of Commerce program pro- vided by the theatrical division of , that organization The program proved to be an hours visit at the Capitol theater, with Jim Clancy an nouncing. The program was, as
 usual. we'll presented by the Tray elers station, which has come to be : known as an expert in stage pick ups. It's possible to enjoy a vaude- vile program from WTIC almost as much as it is when one is seated in , theater. The microphones are so placed that every word spoken on the stage is audible and understand able. The program last night was up to the usual high quality of such offerings from the Hartford play
 house and we enjoyed it greatly.

An unexpected treat came our way from WG1' shortly before II o'clock. when We tuned in a program of dance music by that versatile organ ization, Waring's Pennsylvanians, di- rect from New York city. That band. one Of the most original in the busi- ness, offered a varied program of dance tunes, interspersed with spe- cialties by members of the orchestra. The singing of Little Spanish Town" by the entire orchestra, with no in strumental guidance whatever, proved hit. as did the rendition of Sweetheart Of Sigma Chi" by the orchestra itself. It proved to be q smoothly played waltz number, heav- fly scored for the saxophone section.
 Continuing with Warnings Penn sylvanians. Another number was a new one, Just Another Day Wasted Away" The orchestral effects were entirely novel. A number breathing Of the South Seas, but not too deep ly. was presented, although the title escaped us. It was a nut number in every sense of the word, with mem bers Of the band supplying remarks throughout. That drummer is a knockout and he is able 10 twist his voice into all sorts of contortions. Moonlight on The Ganges," open ing with Oriental pipings was heav- fly scored throughout. We have never heard it played in such col orful manner. "One Sweet Letter From You" was another pippen. A vocal chorus was taken by one of the Waring boys, while high pitched trumpet drifted along in the clouds, piping a delft obligato. The trumpet and trombone duet of Gallagher and Shean" was laughable. the two instruments interpreting the voices in a decidedly ludicrous manner.
 WTAM, Cleveland, fairly loud, of fered a dance orchestra in T Won der How l Look When I'm Asleep At kDkA we encountered a whis- pering announcer who just couldn't make HIS NOlCe louu cliouSh lo o' heard clearly. Dance music, also. WICC. Bridgeport, broadcasting quite late offered Vincent Lopez and his orchestra. We heard the last se- lection at 12:30 o'clock this morn ing.
 At about 12:45 o'clock we encoun- tered a brand new one, station at Virginia Beach, Va, broadcastlng dance music. The call letters sound ed like WUSA, but there was plenty of noise and we may have been mis- taken. The station came in on a wave length of about 526 meters.
