PLAN To CHANGE
THE ROUTE FROM
HERE TO GRAHAM
Engineers Are Laying d Line
That Will Eliminate the
Curve by Calvander
CONSIDERED LESS COSTLY

People who live in Carrboro
and i'll the country to the west
are much interested these days
in the reports about a change in
the route of the new state high
way from Chapel Hill to Ora
ham.
The activities of surveyors
gave the first sign that the first
plan was apt to be altered.
When the highway commits
sion decided to take over the road
from Nelson through Chapel
Hill to Graham, the intention
was to follow the Chapel Hill
HiIlsborO road out to Calvander
and then continue along the old
county road to the Alamance
line. But the engineers, after
extended study, appear to have
decided that this is not the most
satisfactory route. What they
are now considering, therefore,
is a new route running from the
end of the concrete, near the
Carrboro school, to a junction
with the old county road near
White Cross. This will cat out
Calvander and will mean the
substitution of direct for cir
cuit0us course. 1t is said that
the change will mean a saving
of several thousand dollars.
Bad weather has impeded the
contractors in their work on the
road from here to Nelson (the
short cut to Raleigh, but they
expect to make rapid progress
from now on. Back of the Uni
versity campus, where the right
of way had to be shifted a little
way to the south in order to give
plenty of space for the future
expansion of the library, a great
deal of blasting has been found
necessary.
The expectation is that this
road will be opened for traffic
next fall.

Wren in COker's Bucket

A wren built a nest in a tin
bucket hanging on a nail in w,
C. Coker's barn. When Mr..
Coker shows visitors about the
place he takes the bucket down
from it's nail, and displays to
them the nest and the eggs
while the mother wren flies to
a nearby tree and expresses her
opinion of his interference by
constant twittering. When the
bucket is hung up again and the
people move on, she returns to
her nest.

Church Deed Found
And Baptist Trustees May Now Pro.
ceed to Make a Sale

The deed to the old Baptist
church property has been found
by L. ]. Phipps in the Orange
county records in Hillsboro.
For two or three years it had
been lost, and the trustees of the
church could not make a sale be-
cause the lack of this precious
document put a cloud on the title.
When the new church on Col
umbia street was completed the
old church property, running the
full length of the block on
Church street from Franklin
street to Rosemary lane, was put
on sale. S. Berman offered about
$4,000 for it; but the convey
ance could not be made because
a clear title could not be given,
and the transaction fell through,
The deed now found by Mr..
Phipps was executed in 1855 by
John Hutchings as trustee for
William II. Merritt. Carl Dur
ham, one of the trustees, said
yesterday that the property
would be put on sale again.

tive and the winning affirmative
team will take place in Memorial
hall. The Aycock Memorial cup

Mr.. Neal went to Pinehurst
about a month ago for a golfng
vacation. Before he had been
there two days he was seized by
a pain. His condition grew
worse, and the physician at
Pinehurst despatched him to Ra-
leigh in the middle of the night,
and DR.. Royster took out his ap-
pendix at about two o'clock in
the morning. Soon he was out
of danger and began what he de-
scribes as one of the most agree
able vacations he ever had: a
complete rest, with reading,
some letter writing, much gaz-
ing out upon the shrubs and
flowers around Rex Hospital,

WARNS AGAINST
SLASH IN SIZE
OF u. S. ARMY
But Forces Do Not Need to
Be Increased, Reed Agrees
With Coolidge.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-PreSi-
dent Coolidges suggestion in his
message to congress that the size of
the standing army has reached its
limit will be disregarded if con-
greSS authorizes any expansion of
the air service, in the opinion of
Senator David A Reed, chairman of
the senate military affairs COM
mittee.
Our army could not be much re-
duced, but does not need to be in
creased" the President said.
Senator Reed, how ever, will oppose
any reductions and will sponsor an
increase if necessary to provide for
a greater air service.
1.-THE army has been very much
impaired by reductions in its per-
sonnet in order to provide for the
increase in aviation personnel" Reed
said. IF there is to be any further
increase in aviation personnel"
Reed said. eff there is to be any
further increase in aviation
strength.
"The army has been very much
impaired by reductions in it's per-
sonnet in order to provide for the
increase in aviation personnel"
Reed said. "If there is to be any
further increase in aviation strength
new personnel must be authorized.
The other branches of the army
now are at rock-bottom."
The authorized strength of the
army is 10000 officers and 1875
enlisted men.

Institutional" Sally interrupted
in low voice as she turned shorply
away from her mother.
It was almost relief to the girl
when Enid was gone. Her mothers
exquisite, fragile beauty, her uncon-
sciouS arrogance, her Sophistication,
her sometimes caustic wit, formed
barrier between them, in spite of
the almost worshipful love that
Sally felt for her.
Enid, when she was with her,
somehow made the 17-year- girl
feel gawky, underdone, awkward,
shy. Those cornfiower blue eyes,
when they were not misted with
tears of affection for this daughter
whom she had so recently dis
covered, seemed to Sally to be
powerful microscope trained upon
all her deficiencies, enlarging them
to frightening proportions. She
knew that in these moments OF
critical survey, her mother was look
ing upon her, not as a beloved
daughter miraculously restored to
her, but as future debutante,
bearer of the proud name Of Barr,
and as a pawn in the marriage
game as it is played in the most
exclusive circles of New York So
ciety.
And Sally squirmed miserably,
pitifully afraid that she would
never measure up to the standard
which her mother and Courtney

But she did not care. It was her
song-and Davids.
She followed with that obedience
so deeply implanted in her every
phase of the program which Enid
and Courtney Barr had mapped
out for her. She went to the girls
camp in New Hampshire and re-
turned to school in Virginia that
fall strong and tanned and boy
ish-looking, and was able to report
to Enid that she could swim beauti-
fully, if not swiftly; could ride grace
fully, could hold her own decently
in a hard game of tennis, could

During her last term at the fin

great deal Of attention to her dan

and to her own beautiful young
body, learning to groom it expert
ly. And during the Christmas and
Easter vacations she Melted three
proposals of marriage, from broth

she visited. She learned, homehow,

CHAPTER KILL

It was a desolately unhappy Sally
who began what she considered the
unbearable task of living those two
years which Courtney Barr had de-
creed should separate the orphan
Sally Ford, from the society debu-
tante, Sally Barr. A dozen times,
at least, during those first few weeks
she would have run away, straight
to David Nash, if she had not given
her word of honor, both to her
mother and to her mothers hus-
band.
But, almost insensibly, she began
to enjoy life again. 1t was a soul
satisfying experience to have an APP
parently unlimited supply of spend
ing money and the most beautiful
wardrobe of any girl in the little
Virginia city to which Courtney
Barr had taken her. For many days
almost every mail brought her
package from New York, addressed
in Enid Bars surprisingly big
handwriting. She and her mother
wrote each other twice a week, and
Enid early formed the habit of send
ing her a weekly budget of clippings
from the papers about the social
set In which the Bars moved so
brilliantly-"so you will become &C
quainted with the names of those
who will be your friends" as Enid
wrote her daughter.
Gro SIJo Ivy fhn sc I,o,.
new position and of her future ex-
pectations wore off and Sally came
to regard herself as really the
daughter of the Courtney Bars.
She lived for the rest of the sum-
mer with Courtney Bars third
cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Barr,
who were glad of both the money
and the companionship which Sally
brought them. To their friends,
the Charles Bars explained that
Sally was an orphaned cousin, and
the story apparently was never
questioned. She was accepted cor
daily by the carefree young people
of the small city'S best social set,
and was sometimes ashamed of the
pleasure she had in being a popular,
well-dressed, pretty young girl.
She reproached herself for not
mournbing constantly for David, but
she knew that not for an instant
we're her loyalty and love for him
threatened by her strange new ex-
periences. And, although she had
given her promise not to write to
David, she composed long, intimate
letters to him every week, putting
them away in her trunk in the con-
fident belief that he would some
day read them and love them, be-
cause she had written them.
She told him everything in these
letters she could not send-told him
