Dancing honors went to Miss
Paul billiard of Durham who
was the premiere danseuse of the
show. Miss billiard did several
solo dances and several more
with Gene Erwin.
Gene Erwin created riot as
Baby Cicero in Daddy Goes A

made a hit as Helen of Troy in
her all-too-short blues song.
"Buccaneer Bustle" was the
hit song and dance of the show.
The act was introduced by Tara
sa Graham and AL Kahn who
sang the song. Erwin and Dill

The great drugstore trial
took place in the Peoples Bank
building Wednesday morning
with Mayor Zeb Council presid-
ing as magistrate. 1t had been
the talk of the town for three
days, and there was large at
tendance.
Back of this affair was the
rivalry of druggists and other
vendors of soft drinks and to-
bacco. The case revolved around
the Sunday law, which forbids
the sale of these articles during
church hours-that is, from II
to 1890 in the morning and
from $50 to $3.50 in the evening.
Five or six weeks ago COM
plants were made to the mayor
that the law was not being en-
forced, and a warning was given
to the merchants. Chief of
Police Featherstone reported a
violation at Sutton and Alder
mans. Then Mr.. Sutton de-
clared that he was not the only
one-that the law was violated
in other places; and he offered
to fortify his charge with evil
dence.
So, youth named Johnson,
one of Mr.. Sutton's employees,
was despatched upon round of
other establishments last Sun
day. With nobody aware of the
purpose of his quest, he went
into one place after another and
asked to buy cigarettes. At the
trial Wednesday he testified that
they were sold to him.
Lon Russell of the Eubanks
store was the first accused per-
son to be arraigned, He plead
not guilty. Carl Durham and
j. s. Bennett, who were present
in the store at the time of the
alleged misdemeanor, testified
they had seen no sale. The may
or dismissed the charge against
Mr.. Russell.

Drugstore Trial Draws Large
Crowd; Nobody Is Sent to Jail


Mr. Johnson, called to the
stand again, told of having
bought cigarettes at Patterson's,
but could not name the person
who served him.
H. A. Whitfield, attorney for
the merchants, made an impas-
stoned address in behalf of his
clients. He expressed himself as
deeply grieved that Mr.. Sutton
should send an emissary around
to get evidence on competitors,
and defended his clients as good
Christian citizens who wanted to
uphold order and proper conduct
in the community. r
At one point in the proceed
ings Alvis Patterson interrupted
to tell the mayor that he had
strictly adhered to the law the
first two Sundays after the
warning was given, but that one
of his men, dropping into the
Sutton store, had found that the
law was not being observed
there; and Mr., Patterson had
thought that the law ought to
be enforced upon all the mer-
chants or upon none of them.
The other three places involv-
ed in Mr.. Johnson's canvass,
were Fosters, Gooch's and the
Carolina Grill. But, before he
got to these, Mayor Council de-
cided not to carry the case any
further. He issued an appeal,
in dignified and judicious terms,
to the several merchants, that
they all ioin together and obey
the law. This law, which al
lowed them to conduct their bus
mess except for about three
hours on Sunday, was not a
hardship, he thought, and was
in accord with the sentiment of
the best people of the village.
He assured the assembled COM
pany that. in the future the police
would be on the alert to see that
the law was enforced.

might have upon Southern Rail-
way dividends. Here were four
men spending their time in a
non revenue producing enter
prise. They would raise the car
few inches off the ground and
then pause to rest, and while
they rested the car would sink
back again. Southern Railway
finances affect the condition of
the whole South, and, as the min
utes passed the car seemed to get
no nearer its proper place on
the rails, and the cost of labor
accumulated, Mr.. Murchison en-
visioned the collapse of the en-
tire commercial structure of
the Piedmont. At last the mo-
ment came when he could stand
it no longer, and he turned and
fed toward his sanctum to get
what comfort he, could from the
latest Moody prosperity bulletin.
Many of the onIookers voiced
the opinion that a massive bull
wark of steel and concrete
should be set UP at the tracks

bounding across the walk and
crush students against Saunders

Wigue and Masque Puts on Good Show

The Wigue and Masque's re-
yue, "Whoops M'Dear," ranks
will the best plays that organ
ization has produced. True, the
costumes, sets, and lighting were
not as elaborate as some have
been in the past, but the men,
bers made their own sets, drops,
and costumes and naturally they
could not be as elaborate as ma
chine-made ones. All in all, the
show was a success and played
to a big crowd on each night.
Another innovation was the
presence of girls in the cast. I'm
til now the Wigne and Mosques
catch-line was "every girl a per-
feet gentleman"
The feature numbers of the
show were "Buccaneer Bustle,"
Ancient History" Daddy Goes
A-Hunting," and "Collegiana." "
Mrs. Learned took high hon
ors in her singing Of Spring
time" This act was enhanced
by the ballet dancing.

A Trip to Virginia

On the trip to Virginia last
week my dieting resolutions
cracked under the strain. The
advice of DIR. James X. Hall, my
host in Richmond, did nothing
to help me combat the will-to-eat.
He said he doubted if there was
much in this dieting business af-

couragement | needed to turn
myself loose Let him and the the
other Virginia citizens who
feasted me so handsomely be

enacted the ordinance of self
denial, and will try again to de-
serve a shorter belt.

a JanItor on the campus for 40

A box car, rolling along the
spur track on the University
campus below the South build
ing, rolled too far and off the
end of the track at Saunders
hall. With a little more impetus
it would have gone on across the
walk and crashed into this home
of history, rural social econom-
les, and commerce.
Here is one of the most crowd

students passing to and from
their recitations; and all

at the rescue quartet-one white

jack the car up and get it back

AID WARREN WILL
MEET GALLAGHER
IrishHian VIII Be a Tough Op-
POnent for the Champion
of North Carolina
BOUT is NEXT WEDNESDAY

When Ad Warren meets Marty
Gallagher in the Memorial Sta
dium in Greensboro next We'd
nesday evening he will face his
toughest adversary since he en-
tered the professional ring six
months ago.
These two met twice when
they were amateurs, and on each
occasion Warren got the deci-
sion. But, although he was
clearly superior, he did not have
a walk over either time. The
Philadelphia Irishnan has been
eager for revenge, and for sew
eral months has been sending
messages to North Carolina to
the effect that he wanted a bout
with the Tar Heel.
Gallagher was sparring part
ner for Jack Dempsey when
Dempsey was training for the
Sharkey fight last summer. He
weighs 100 pounds, and has the
reputation of being able to take
a lot of hard punishment. The
fight fans in this region think
that Warren, now at 1873 pounds,
will conquer through his faster
fOotwork and his greater boxing
skill
Since they became profession
ais, Gallagher has been in 16
fights and lost none, and Warren
has been in ii and lost none.
The Carolina champion left
Chapel Hill this week to go over
to Durham for few days Wis
it to his friend, William N. Cox.
He still has with him his negro
sparring partner, Eddie Stepton,
with whom he boxes every day.
Jimmy Bronson of New York,
Warren's manager, gave him
many bits of advice when he
came to see the Warren-Rojas
fight in Charlotte last week. Diet
was one subject upon which he
gave his protege a gentle lecture.
Eat less sugar. and drink Lot
of milk" said Mr.. Bronson. War
rem, as docile before his manager
as he is ferocious in the ring,
now takes one spoonful of sugar
in his breakfast coffee instead
of three, and consumes vast
quantities of milk.
Soon after the fight next Wed
nesday in Greensboro he is going
to New York to put himself un-
der Mr.. Br0nsOn's command.
He will work in the gymnasium,
engage in sparring, and perhaps
appear once or twice in public
bouts. 1t is expected that he
will return to the South for a
bout with Stribling in August
or September.

is estimated at $4,000. The
town pays $4,000, the Univer-
sity $4,000, and the GimghouIs

will lead to the municipal plant

IKE the way IN Wnlcn UNI
versity alumni, and other people
who have lived here, come to
Chapel Hill on Sunday visits.
This is a happy consequence of
the states enterprise in road
building; distance has lost it's
terrors. | chronicle my sorrow
at having missed, on the Sun
day when | was in Virginia, the
Wilkins of Goldsboro and the
Winslows of Rocky Mount, This
last Sunday was cheered by the
beauty and intellect of Mrs.
Lewis Patton, the former Miss
Fanny Gray, and by the intel
lect, if not so great beauty, of
the brace of accompanying
males: her father the editor and
her husband the educator.
OF Mr.. Gray | made eager in
quiries about his son Edmund,
boxer and poet. By reason of
his prowess with the gloves this
young man came to be known,
when he was in school here, as
Firpo Gray. At his present
home in Raleigh he keeps up his
training. Having observed that
pugilists had large necks, a year
or so ago he embarked upon a
series of neck-augmenting exer-
cises, and the result is that the
size-number of his collar has
mounted rapidly. Not a day
passes that he does not have a
session of an hour or more with
the punching-bag. The main
trouble with his training pro-
gram is that the youths of the
neighbofhood do not choose to
spar with him, for, even in a
friendly practice battle, he finds
it difficult to keep his wallop un-
der control.
"Did you get that clipping |
sent you by Frank Graham?' |
asked Major Cain, alluding to a
Raleigh Times editorial | had en-
trusted to the history professor
several weeks before. Il have
never seen or heard of it," was
the reply. Incidentally learned
that another document, which
the Major was to have received
from Albert Coates, had not
reached him. 1t may be recalled
that last year I remarked upon
the frequency with which saw
Messrs. Graham and Coates en-
gagged in solemn conversation on
the street. What they talk a
bout at these meetings | do not
know, but from the gravity of
their mien it appears that these
two are always discussing prob
lens of high moment. At the
risk of being set down as a med
dler | venture the suggestion
that they desert their historical,
philosophical and sociological
speculations long enough to hunt
up and deliver these documents
they owe the Major.

PUBLIC HEARING
ON ZONING PLAN
Details of the Project win Be
Thoroughly Explained to
the Citizens
AT THE SCHOOL JUNE Is

A map of the proposed build
ing zones in Chapel Hill has been
prepared. and public hearing
is announced for Friday evening,
June Is, in the school auditori-
um. Copies of the map and of
the accompanying ordinance will
be distributed among the citizens
who attend the hearing. A full
explanation Of the project will
be given by the town manager,
and members of the board of al
dermen will be present to answer
inquiries.
The procedure is in accord
with the states law which au-
Ithorizes municipal governing
bodies to create zones "for the
purpose of promoting the health.
safety, morals, and general well
fare of the community" In
drafting the measure the alder
mems committee-M. E. Hogan.
G.. NJ. Braune, and P. L. Burch,
assisted by Town Manager
Knox-followed the principles
which have formed the basis of
the best zoning plans adopted
elsewhere in the country.
When this ordinance is finally
adopted Chapel Hill will be pro-
tected from haphazard building
development. Residence dis
tricts cannot be invaded by occu-
pations and trades of an objec-
tionable character, and the re-
tail business district viii be kept
free from factory operations
which would tend to damage ad-
jacent property.
The measure does not apply to
existing structures but only to
those which may be erected in
the future.
There are four divisions of the
town:
