DIR. F. NJ. Hanes Speaks
Addresses Gathering in Celebration of
the University's Birthday

DR.. Frederick M. Hanes of
Winston-Salem was the princi-
pal speaker at Wednesdays ex-
ercises in celebration of the Uni
versity's birthday.
He spoke of the function of
higher education and Of the
question of the limitation of at
tendance. Those candidates
who are shown to be unable to
profit by a college education
should be denied admittance," he
declared. The physician gave
it as his opinion that human
minds could be classified like
horses at a horse show through
the means at the command of
modern science, and that there
fore it was possible to learn
which young men and young
women should be regarded as
suitable material for college
training.
The exercises were preceded
by a procession, led by the band,
from the Well to Memorial Hall.
Many of the faculty members
wore caps and gowns, many did
not. DIR. MacNider had discard
ed his picturesque Panama, and
Frank Graham, the canniest of
them all, was protected from the
rain by rubber coat.

W. o. Saunders Comes BY

w. o. Saunders, editor of the
Elizabeth City Independent, was
in the village for two or three
hours Monday morning. Ac-
companied by his daughter, Miss
Billy Saunders, he was on his
way to Kernersville to deliver an
address, and he stopped over in
Chapel Hill to visit his son, who
is a student in the University.
After an all too fleeting call at
the Weekly Office he went up on
the campus and dropped in at
the Alumni building to see Oscar
Coffin. 1t happened that the
journalism class was in session,
and Mr.. Saunders made a short
talk.

'POssum Season Opens
Much Enthusiasm among Hunters
This Year; 700 Licenses in County

The 'possum and coon hunt
ing season opened legally on the
first day of October, and al
ready the ''possums and the
coons are being chased through
the woods by ardent huntsmeR
and still more ardent hounds.
There seems to be keener in
terest in hunting this year than
for a long time past" says Game
Warden Moody Durham. "The
promptness with which people
have familiarized themselves
with the new law is very en-
couraging. | believe they real
ize that it is not only necessary
for the protection of game but
is entirely fair to hunters.
Mr.. Durham said that 700
hunting licenses had been issued
in this county up to last Satur-
day. Licenses may be obtained
in this section from the game
warden, the Chapel Hill Hard
ware company, and James
Sparrow, and from the county
clerk at Hillsboro.
A farmer, his son, or his ten
ant may hunt on the farmers
own land without a license. A
boy of 16 years old may hunt
with a parent or guardian if the
latter has license.
The open season for quail and
turkey begins December l and
closes March /. There are signs
that quail will be exceptionally
abundant this year.

Durant Needs Big Hall
Overflow at Gerard Causes Lecture
To Be Shifted to Memorial

The fame of Will Durant, au-
thor of the Story of Philosophy,
brought such a large crowd to
Gerard hall Monday evening
that the small building could not
accommodate it. Hence Addi-
son Hibbard arose and said that
they would have to move over
to Memorial Hall, whereupon
there was a rush for the large
auditorium.
Mr.. Durant, whose topic was
Is Progress a Del4sion?, first
presented the facts which made
many historians and philoso-
piers pessimistic about the des-
tiny of human society. One ma
tion after another, one civiliza-
ton after another, had vanished
from the earth, and the later
seemed no better than the ear
lier.
But it was not nations which
ought properly to be considered,
he said, but man. The life of a
nation consumed only a moment
in the life Of the race; and if
we reflected upon the changes in
the nature of man since he was
hanging by his tail from the limb
Of tree, hiding in caves, and
going accounting with a club, we
were bound to conclude that he.
had undergone an encouraging
Improvement.
Altogether, Mr.. Durant
charmed his audience by his
sense and his wit.

COBB TERRACE Is
SUFFERING FROM
SURPLUS OF CATS
People Who Want to Be Rid of
The Animals Take Them
There at Night,
COLONY LOSES PATIENCE.

Cobb Terrace, the colony on
the north edge of the village be-
low the post-effice, is becoming,
against its will, a haven for
cats.
Somehow the impression got
abroad that the dwellers on the
Torrance were fond of cats.
Perhaps it had its origin in an
article Parson Moss wrote two
or three years ago about the
Williams and the Lear cats.
Then there were other pieces in
the paper about cats on Cobb
Terrace.
1t frequently happens now
that an automobile is heard to
stop for an instant, turn around
and go away, and then, when the
noise of the engine is no long
er audible, a plaintiye meo10 ris-
es upon the evening air. Where
upon the master of the nearest
home, or his wife, comes out and
gathers in anywhere from one to
six kittens.
Not long ago a newcomer to
the Terrace brought a mother
cat and six kittens with him.
When he went away on his va
cation the seven scattered them
selves over the colony, This did
not add to the total cat popula-
tion but increased the ratio per
family.
Although affection for cats
still fingers in the hearts of the
Terracians, it is not as warm
and all-embracing as it once
was. They love their own cats
but are growing hostile to other
peoples. One professor has
even become so hardened as to
practice euthanasia upon the
strays by means of chloroform.
Every family that wants to
get rid of it's cats but doesn't
want to perform the unpleasant
task Of killing them," he said to
the editor yesterday, Seems to
think that leaving them on Cobb
Terrace is a perfect solution of
the difficulty. We were inclined
to be hospitable at first, but the
cats have become so numerous
as to exhaust both our patience
and our milk supply"

Next Friday, the 21st, has
been designated as the Ways
and Means Day, or Neighbor-
hood Day, for the Community
Club. The purpose of it is to
raise funds for the work of the
club and to cultivate neighbor-
illness among the members.
Tea will be servedg in eight
neighborhoods," says Mrs. r. d.
W. Connor, "and we hope that
the members of the club will all
gather that day at the several
homes of the hostesses to have
cup of tea and chat with their
neighbors. One purpose being to
raise 500 for the Community
Club, we hope that each guest
will when calling leave at least
so cents as her contribution to-
ward this end.
THE same evening card par
ties will be given at the resi-
dences of Mrs. Paul John Weav-
er and Mrs. E. w. Knight so
that club members and friends
who are unable to attend the af-
ternoon teas may have an oppor-
tunity to meet for a pleasant
evening and to contribute to the
club chest.
Anyone desiring to go to the
card parties will please telephone
Miss Cornelia Love.
1--WE hope that all who read
this will spread the news of
these parties among their
Trlends and also invite neWcOm-
ers to go with them to the par
ties. The only way in which
these plans can succeed is
through the whole-hearted CO.
operation Of everybody.

Mrs. Mccormick kept coming to
the home of Mrs. George Coffin
Taylor. Mrs. Taylor would send
them on to her neighbor, a hun
dred yards or so up Boundary
street, but the thing occurred so
often that at last she called up
a merchant and demanded to
know why. 1t turned out that
one of the nails through the
little tin 8 on the Taylor house
had come out, and the numeral
had swung around the remain

McCormicks and the Taylors had
the same number: 206.
The gravel path that leads

Chqpel Hill CHaf

Recently ! saw in some news
paper a discussion of the ques-
ton whether or not persimmons
ripened perfectly before frost.
They do. This fall l have picked
up from my yard unsurpassed
specimens of the fruit. Once l
was fond of persimmons, but
now l have developed an antag-
onism toward them because,
from the tree by my gate, they
fall upon the flagstone walk and
mess it up with their yellowish
gooey insides. The labor of
cleaning them off is almost as
hateful to me as seeing them
there, so sometimes | employ a
self-help student for the task.
The only thorough cure | have
ever found for the plague of
persimmons scattered over the
place is Arthur Ruhl, the author
and journalist. When he was
here a year or so ago | found
he loved the things, and so l
turned him loose in my yard and
he gave it such a fall cleaning
as it has never had before or
since. If he comes again, there
fore, his agreeable conversation
will not be the only reason he
will receive a warm welcome.
A managing editor under
whom | worked in New York
would be more infuriated when
some citizens name was printed
in incorrect form than if the re-
porter had got the paper into
a libel suit. This was because
he knew that many a person was
more indignant at having his
name spelled wrong than if he
were accused of a high crime,
One of the names in Chapel Hilf
that is apt to be twisted is Paul
John Weaver. The celebrity of
the great Revolutionary sea-
fighter leads people to reverse
the Paul and the John when
speaking of the head of the Uni
versity's music department.

ALDERMEN WILL
TRY TO REDUCE
MOTOR DANGERS
Subject Discussed at Meeting;
StOp-and-GO Signs May
Become Necessary
MacNIDER'S FEW REMARKS

The question, what is Chapel
Hill going to do to prevent auto
mobile accidents on its streets, ?,
came up for discussion at the
meeting of the board of alder
men Monday evening.
Stop-and-go signals electrical
ly operated may possibly be in
stalled as one step toward safe
ty. 1t has also been proposed
that there be motorcycle po-
liceman constantly active to ap-
. prehend speeders and other Of
tenders against the traffic laws.
Two persons have been killed
on the main street of the village
since the pavement was laid in
1921, and there have been scores
of minor accidents. Instead of
being surprised at the accidents
that do occur, people here are
rather surprised that there are
no more, seeing the recklessneSs
with which cars are driven
through the streets.
DR.. William de B. MacNider
addressed the aldermen briefly
on the subject, His home is at
the crest of the hill where the
Durham road enters the village,
and he has an unusual oppor-
tunity to observe the reckless
ness of drivers. He told the
board of four accidents to which
he himself had been a witness in
front of his home.
Il do not come here with any
definite scheme of regulation to
PROPOSE" said DR.. MacNider,
"but merely to petition your
board to give the problem a
thorough study and see if you
can work out a solution. | have
talked to a great many people a.
bout it and | know there is a
general opinion among our citi-
zens that something positive
should be done to minimize the
danger of serious accidents"
The board directed Town
Manager Knox to inquire into
the cost of signals.
In the last few weeks, since
the University opening, the con-
gestion on the main business
street has been worse than it
ever was before. Two unbroken
rows of cars stand against the
curbs on the two sides of the
street. Pedestrians crossing
from one side of the street to
the other, passing between
these parked cars, are in con-
slant danger Of being run over
by the cars that pass back and
forth along the middle space,
frequently at a perilous speed.

VAR PLANNING |S JOB WHICH KEEPS
 SILENT MEN BUSY
SPECIAL SELECTED OFFICERS WAR DEPARTMENT APPROACH
 PERPETUAL MOTION

WASHINGTON, March II. (P- War planning is a job that keeps a small group of close mouthed, speci- ally selected officers in the War De- partment in state of industry ap- preaching that of perpetual motion.
 The plans for offensive and de- fensive military operations against every possible enemy are in their keeping. They fill huge steel safes and are checked carefully against every international controversy in order that they may be in readiness for instant application in case of national emergency.
 As Secretary Kellogg and his aides, at the far end of the same corridor that borders on the War Plans of- fees, strive to adjust a controversy by diplomacy, the army experts over- haul their papers relating to the mill itary situation existing at the time between the United States and the other nation involved.
 The job of keeping the war plans up to date in the light of ever chang ing international issues is one that calls for continuous effort. They have to be revised also to give the correct employment to new arms as their superiority over older weapons is disclosed
 The war planners are constantly in touch with State Department of- ficials, military attaches in foreign capitals and numerous other govern mental agencies. It is no secret that the plans in their keeping provide in detail for setting the military mach inc in motion with full destruction force against any enemy at the earliest possible moment after host ilities have been declared For a major or minor emergency, they tell not only how many men will be needed by the army but how they are to be transported, equipped, trained if necessary, and supplied with the many essentials modern army needs for field service
 The State Department usually re- fers new treaties to the war planners before they are given final approval and sent to the Senate for ratifica- ton, and sometimes even before they are formally drafted That was un doubtedly done with the pending treaty with Panama, which calls upon l that republic to give the United l States army free transit in time of peace and to declare itself in a state of war whenever the United States hncOmey a hn11iparnnf
