Governor Zimmerman was among
the hundreds who yesterday con-

sixth birthday. kilograms reached
the White House by the score from
all parts Of the world, but Mr.. Cool
idge paid little attention TO them,
preferring to pass his anniversary in
the quietest manner Of any year since
he became chief executive.
President Coolidge, however. aban-
doned his determination of having no
special celebration on his birthday
long enough to invite newspapermen
and press photographers to the Lodge.
He shared his great birthday cake
with them and took them along on a
short fishing expedition.
In this way his guests saw him
catch five fish in about half an hour,
and witnessed his triumph when he
drew two Of these on the same line.

The report, after enumerating the

Alarm Fails to Bring Fire Company's Officers

1T is my personal opinion that
if the fire company officers had
heard the first alarm and had
been on hand, the second fire
would never have occurred"
These were the words of Town
Manager Knox when the alder
men were talking about the de-
struction of the Pickard hotel
last Saturday at midnight. The
engine, manned by subordinates,
had responded to a call at 10:30,
but had been taken back to- it's
stable after everybody thought
the fire was out - then, an hour
or SO later, the hotel was de-
stroyed in a blaze that made the
greatest bonfire the village ever
saw. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000 with half of it
covered by insurance.
The town managers idea, as
expressed to- the aldermen, was
that the company officers, if
present on the first occasion,
would have made sure the fire

Hopi Braves to Appear Here under

The famous Hopi Indian

Carolina Playmakers. The show

There are seven Indians I'M

same redskins who gave their
ceremonial snake dances for
Congress upon the steps of the
Capitol in Washington. Some
missionaries had been asking
Congress to pass a law against
the Hopi snake dances on the
score that they were idolatrous.
Arizona friends of the tribe, who
had been helping the Indians
sell their pottery, blankets, and
other products, interceded, and
the bill was defeated.
In the ceremonial dances the
snake is addressed as a sort of
god-ancestor, The ceremony is

Warren to Fight Lewis
University Champion Faces Stiff Bat
tie in Raleigh Tonight

Ad Warren, who was the Uni
versity champion boxer and has
now entered the professional
ring, will meet frankie Lewis in
Raleigh this (Friday) evening.
Lewis is regarded as stronger
than anybody the North Caro-
linian has yet gone up against.
He has figured in bouts all over
the country and has many vic
tories to his credit.
Notwithstanding his formid-
able record, however, G. H. Paul
sen, who is acting as Warren's
manager, and other people here
abouts seem confident that the
man who fioored Chief Maybe
and Lew Carpenter so promptly
will not be stopped by Lewis.
Several carloads of enthusi-
asts in Chapel Hill are to go to
Raleigh to see the encounter, and
Durham, where Warren is a
great favorite, will also send a
big contingent.
Sparring partners have been
supplied to Warren, in the last
few days, from the University's
boxing team. He has received
considerable help from his
brother John, who himself bids
fair to achieve high honors as
a boxer.

In a dark, damp tunnel few
steps from the Pittsboro high
way, on the south edge of the
village, H. R. Totten of the Uni
versity's botany department is
growing mushrooms. Growing
them not merely for purposes of
instruction and experiment, but
for the people of Chapel Hill to
eat. Already they are being ac-
lively distributed through the
Model Market, so that the bot
anist is partially recouping him
self for the cost of the under
taking.
Mr.. Totten took me out one
day last week and, by the light
of an oil lantern, showed me the
subterranean garden. When /
left I was in possession of a
cluster of his fungi, and l found
them delicious as a part of that
evenings meal.
Two or three years ago the
engineering school, in coopera-
tion with the state highway
commission, established a plant
under the road leading off from
the highway to the Fields house,
and clay was piled higher and
higher upon it. Scales and 9th
er apparatus registered the
pressure from time to time. with
the result that the engineers got
much valuable information as to
the weights that concrete cul-
verts would stand. The United
States government was in on the
enterprise and helped bear the
cost.

was out before they left. AS it
was, it crept up inside the walls
and broke out above stairs.
The officers did not hear the
second alarm, either. Mr.. Knox
had to call Chief Foister on the
telephone after the fire was well
under way.
At the end Of a long discussion
the aldermen named commit
tee to make studies looking to-
ward the installation of an eff
fective alarm system. Mean
while Mr.. Bennett of the tele-
phone company is arranging
special connections which will
ring bells in the homes of three
fire company officers whenever
the siren sounds.
The firemen who did get to
the second fire, assisted by stu
dent volunteers, did very well, in
the opinion of the crowd of spec
tators, to prevent the spread of
the fire to the other buildings
close by.

In Charlotte

When | was in Charlotte last
week Brent ~Drane told me of a
rebuke administered to Bishop
Penick at dinner of the Good
Fellows Club. This organiza-
ton maintains about a dozen
public health nurses in the city,
but its most conspicuous and
noisy enterprise is a monthly
dinner combined with a hilarious
amusement program. About 600
members attend, besides out
siders brought in as guests, and
often persons at the same table
are not acquainted with each
other. At a recent dinner the
chairman announced that Bishop
Penick would say grace, and to
prevent confusion he asked the
diners all to remain seated dur
ing this preliminary rite. Bishop
Penick rose from a group with
whom he had been talking. The
man sitting next to him,-they
had entered into conversation
without introducing themselves,
grabbed him by the coat-tail
and jerked him back to his
chair, exclaiming: 'Sit down,
you dam fool, the Bishops GO

Totten Growing Mushrooms in a
Tunnel; Putting EN- on Market

When the tests were complet-
ed H. F. Janda said to Mr.. Tot
ten: ''That ought to be the very
place for growing mushrooms.
Why don't you try 'em out in
there?" This was in September.
The suggestion was accepted
eagerly, and a rental agreement
was made with the owner of the
land.
The botanist provided a door
with a lock at the south end of
the tunnel, to protect the place
from marauders and to prevent
drying-out; built troughs and
boxes; and brought in soil and
manure.
When my guide led me down
the slope last week, unlocked
the "door, and motioned me in,
he seemed more like a taller
than a botanist. Entering the
black hole almost made me shud-
der; | began to wonder if would
ever come out alive, and had to
reassure myself by a look at the
genial Totten countenance.
We had to walk bent over, for
the tunnel is only about 5 feet
high. AS we traversed the mar
row passage flanked by the beds
of soil, my companion explained
to me some of the demands and
the peculiarities of the mush-
room plant. 1t must have a con-
'stant temperature of around So
to so degrees Fahrenheit, and it
must have humidity. Wheat

Our old-timers are wont to re-
mark now and then upon how,
in this or that aspect of life, the
new village differs from the old.
OF the great change that has
come about L know of no better
Illustration than an incident that
occurred two or three days ago.
My nephew Penny Rees, seven
years old, started uptown with
rs cents to buy a school book.
Fifteen minutes later. he came
back home, still clutching the
half-dollar and the quarter.
,"They say it's not enough" he
told his mother; "they got to
have seventy-six cents" He OBJ
tained the necessary additional
coin, journeyed uptown again,
and made his purchase. / do not
blame the salesman who declined
to let an article of merchandise
go for less than the stated price.
He was doing his duty. Probab-
ly he had never seen the boy be-
fore-and what would business
be if you handed out goods to
everybody whos neglected to
bring along enough money? l
recite the episode merely as an
amusing bit of evidence of the
passing of the Chapel Hill we
used to know. Imagine Hoot
Patterson sending anybody back
