TO IMPROVE ROAD
EAST OF CAMPUS
University and Town Want To
Widen 1t and Construct
Curbs and Cutters
ESTIMATED COST is $1,000

A plan for the improvement
Of the Country Club road from
the east campus gate to the
crossing of the new state high
way, through the joint action by by
the University and the town, is
now under consideration. 1t is
proposed to widen the road, to
put a good surface on it, and to
construct curbs and cutters.
This road is the one that was
cut three or four years ago
through the western edge of Bat
ties Park A continuation Of
Cameron avenHe, the main ar
terry of traffic through the cam
pus, it swerves to the right about
hundred yards from the cam
pus gate, runs along near the
newest dormitOry group and the
tennis courts, and climbs d slope
to the Country Club. From it,
where it crosses the old Raleigh
road, beyond the cemetery, the
main road of the Gimghoul col
ony runs off to the left. About
a hundred yards beyond its in
tersection with the old Raleigh
road, on the way to the club, it
crosses the new state highway
that is to connect Chapel Hill
with Nelson and provide a short
cut to Raleigh.
The stretch which it is now
proposed to improve is about
half mile long The estimated
cost of the improvement is ST.
800. y
The aldermen, at their meet
ing this week, received from the
University authorities an offer
to pay two thirds if the town
would pay one third, although
of course this offer would be sub
ject to the approval of the board
of trustees. No definite reply
has yet been given by the alder
men. They have appointed a
special committee, consisting Of
NJ. NJ e. Hogan Hogan and and r +. p p ~ " Gen Cen
nor, to confer with the Univer-
sity authorities about this and
other projects.
The main function of the
Country Club road is not sug-
gested by its name. 1t is chief
ly important as a connection be-
tween the Gimghoul, residential
colony at one end and, at the
other end, the campus and the
village. There are now II fam
lilies in this colony, and they
have been complaining to the al
dermen about the bad condition
of the road whenever there is a
spell of wet weather.

Moody and his Texas delegates were
the genial hosts. Inside the hall they
were the shock troops of dry Demo-
Gratis, leading the fight for dry can-

for dry platform. They believed in
prohibition, and they said SO; they
believed in enforcing the prohibitory
law, and they said so; they did not

Many ideas on Platform.
The real fight of the convention
came in the resolutions committee.
There were submitted to that commit
tee almost as many planks favoring
prohibition, favoring the enforcement
Of the present law, or opposing the
present law, as there were delega-
lions. Among these the one submitted
by Governor Moody Of Texas, calling
for strict enforcement and strNng in
dorsement Of the present law, was the
most radical on that side. Somewhat
milder was the one submitted by Sen
ator Carter Glass of Virginia, calling
for the strict enforcement of all laws,
but naming specifically the Eighteenth
amendment. Former Secretary Jo-
sephus Daniels submitted somewhat
similar plank, though little differ

German Soldiers Put
Wild Boars to Rout

Detachments of the German army
stationed in Thuringia were recently
called into action against an unusual
enemy. They were sent into the
neighborhood of Eichsfeld, in the
Thuringian forest, not to put down an
instruction but to eradicate hun
dreds of wild boars.
On the whole, the wild boar is an
uncommon occurrence in German for
ests. Once he gets chance to gain
foothold, however, he multiplies rap
idly. Breeds of "a are known.
Near Eichsfeld, where the Thurin-
gian forest is skirted by mountains
along its northwest boundary, the wild
boar became a veritable plague. Eff
forts of the farmers to rid themselves
of it proved unavailing They ap-
pealed to the district commander of
the reichswehr, or federal army, who,
to the joy of the troops, permitted
them to break the monotony of their
military life by going on hunt for
wild bears. The casualties were all
on the side of the enemy.

British Renew Consideration
of Arbitration Treaty.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Re-
spending to Secretary of State KEEL
lor;'s request for immediate action
on a new arbitration treaty, the
British government within a few
days will end the long delay in the
negotiations by formally placing it's
views before the state department, it
was reported in diplomatic circles
today.
This action would be the first
taken by Great Britain since KEEL
logg initiated the negotiations last
December.
A week ago, Kellogg sent note
to London asking that the negotia-
tions be expedited. The British re-.
piled they were still waiting to hear
from the dominion governments, but
today it was intimated London
would proceed with the discussions
without further delay.
1t was suggested Great Britain
does not want to give the United
States cause for any grievance, such
as resulted from the secret Anglo
French naval agreement, by making
il appear that the proposed arbitra-
rion treaty was being purposely de-
layed.
