VILLAGE MAY GET
GAS NEXT SPRING
Durham Company Is Making a
Survey to Learn Extent of
the Demand Here
CRAWFORD TELLS OF PLAN

A plan to sell gas in Chapel
Hill, for cooking and water-heat-
ing, is under consideration by
the Durham Gas Company.
This concern, which serves Dur
ham with gas, was formerly al
lied with the Carolina Power
and Light Company but is now
a subsidiary of the Southern
Cities Utilities Company.
c. M. Crawford, manager of
the gas company, is now trying
to find out if there is sufficient
demand in Chapel Hill to iusti-
fly the extension of the distri-
.buting- system here. His son,
G. M. Crawford, Jr., and Marvin
BlalOck have been in the village
this week making a Canvass of
homes and business places.
"We figure that if we can get
300 consumers in Chapel Hill" !"
said young Mr.. Crawford yes
. terday, I'VE can afford to pipe
the gas over from Durham. A
number of citizens have already
signed up as customers. We
will know in a few days, when
we have pursued our inquiries
further, how great the demand
is"
He was asked about the price
of the gas and said he thought
it would be as follows: $3.50
per 1000 cubic feet for a con-
sumption up to 5000 cubic feet
in a month, $1.35 from 5000 to
1000, $110 from 1000 to $1,000
and ST over 10000. This decrease
in price as the consumption in
creases is in accord with the
practice that is followed by the
University in selling electric
current.
The gas could be used for re-
frigeration as well as for cook
ing and water-heating. There
is a refrigerating machine,
similar to the frigidaire and the
- ke4vffta tor iii wh1Ct gas IS used
instead of electricity.
1t is said, on the basis of rec
ords in Durham, that the cost
of gas to a family of four or

And so the two friends. who
were fellow students here so
years ago, loafed about Montreal
together. They strolled through
the streets, and inspected public
buildings, and attended a NOV
ing picture show, and ate, and
talked.
From Montreal Mr.. Noble
went down the st. Lawrence
river to Quebec There he ran
across his banking associate, M.
E. Hogan, and Mr.. and Mrs. L.
A. Williams who used to live in
Chapel Hill.
When he is in Chapel Hill Mr..
Noble does most of his going
about in an automobile. But
when he was in Canada he walk
ed a great deal. A consequence
of this unwonted exertion was
that the little tendon in his right
ankle, commonly known as the
tendon of Achilles, developed a
painful soreness. So, when he
got back home day before yes
terday, he was limping. Now
that he has left off walking, ex-
cept for short distances, his
ankle is getting better.

The Recorders Court
Question of Its Establishment in
Doubt; Board Defers Decision

The petition for the estab-
lishment of recorders court
in Chapel Hill, signed by more
than 100 citizens, was presented
at Monday nights meeting of
the aldermen. Action was de-
ferred for TIVE weeks So that that the the
matter might be considered
when all the members of the
board were present. Alderman
Hogan, Braune and Connor were
absent Monday.
If the aldermen approve, an
election will be- called for some
time in September. To go
through, the proposal must be
approved by a majority vote of
the citizens. The first judge
would be appointed by the alder
men, but in the future the Judge
would be chosen by popular vote,
All persons accused of minor
offenses in Chapel Hill and in
the county within a fiye-mile
radius of the village would be
tried in the new court; and ac-
cusers and witnesses would both
be relieved of the expense and
loss of time required when cases
go to the superior court in Hills
boro. And prisoners would be
assured a speedy trial.

Two Old Friends Meet in Montreal

M. c. S. Noble was making a
deliberate progress through the
lobby of the Windsor hotel in
Montreal one day last week. He
was without an acquaintance in
the city. At least, he thought
so. Then he heard a voice i'm
mediately behind him:
when was the last time you
saw Tom Dunstan?"
"As l remember, in Rex Hos
pital," he replied without turn
ing, "just an hour before he
died"
Mr.. Noble had recognized the
voice on the instant. Edwin A.
Alderman, on his way back to
Lake Placid from a fishing ex-
pedition in the Canadian woods,
had dropped in at the Windsor
for few minutes rest, and, as
he sat in a big armchair by the
wall, his old chum Billy Noble
had suddenly come athwart his
line of vision.
Mr.. Alderman had planned to
board the train within an hour,
but he telegraphed Mrs. Alder
man at Lake Placid to, give no.
tice of a 24-hour postponement.

Chapel Hill Chaft

In book which Miss Cornelia
Love lent me the other day |
found pictures of Cadillac and
La Sale models done in the most
gorgeous and fantastic colors.
For one car the motif is supplied
by the butterfly, for another by
the Grand Canyon, for others by
the rose coral of the tropics, the
orchid, the angel fish, the bird
of paradise. Inside and outside
of one of these cars the chosen
color appears in many shades.
These pictures were fresh in
my mind when | came upon
Howard w. Odum mounting into
his new sedan opposite the post
office. He told me of how he
was soon to settle down to work
on a sequel to Rainbow Round
Ny Shoulder, and as he drove
off | thought how distinctive it
would be if he had rainbow
painted on the side of his green
car.
The notion led me to imagin-
ing other suitable decorations
for the automobiles of my fellow
citizens here in Chapel Hill.
For example, DR.. MacNider's
Ford sedan might be bordered
with a frieze of kidneys. And
over the surface of w. c. Coker's
Packard coupe bevies of fungi
might gambol sportively.
Archibald Henders0n's car
should bear panels showing the
owner in his varied activities
arid pasttiimes-ttaking tea with
Bernard Shaw, discussing rel
atiVity with Einstein, hunting
wild beasts in Chatham county,
arranging the 27 lines on a cubic
surface, and summoning the
fire engine to put out blaze in
his home. K. G.. BranSon's car
would have a News Letter on
one door and a tobacco-mixing
outfit on the other. For Major
Cain, if he gets a car, | would
suggest a viaduct, a moving
picture theatre, fishing tackle,
and pretty young woman.
Other appropriate automobile
decorations which come TO my
mind are: for Edgar W. Knight,
row Of North Carolina school
principals under instruction by a
Great Dane; for Collier Cobb,
volcano, desert, and an ocean
to indicate wide travel, and a
nightshirt to indicate loyalty to

Tastes in Climate

The only really satisfactory
solution of the climate problem
is to follow good weather about
the world-to go from one place
to another as the seasons roll
around. | recall vaguely two lines
from a music hall song that was
popular many years ago. The
singer was telling of the several
homes he would like to have,
among them
A cunning little chalet
In the InterldkeR Udlleg"
Then he would have a shooting
box in Scotland, and a villa on
the Riviera, and cottage in the
Adirondacks, and a bungalow
somewhere in Florida or the
West Indies; and he would move
on from one to the other.
Some people can live like
that, but not many. 1t takes a
lot of money and leisure. Most
of US have to put up with the
climate as it is where Fate hap
pens to have set us down. We
enjoy the periods of agreeable
weather, and when the weather
is not agreeable we get some
satisfaction from grumbling
about it. Frequently I'VE lie
volubly to strangers about
what a splendid climate we
have; and if stranger chances
to come when it is torrid or
freezing we swear that this is
abnormal, that never before
was nature so cruel.

climate here in North Carolina.

CARBON PAPER ASSISTS
SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION
Absorption of Ultraviolet Light
Aids Microscopic Tests
in Laboratory.
in Laboratory.

NEW YORK LP).-How a piece of
ordinary carbon paper, such as every
Office Stenographer uses for duplicate
letters, solved an exacting scientific
problem is recorded in the metallog-
raphy department of the Bell Tele-
phone laboratories here
The problem was to focus the ultra
violet microscope, which uses the rays
at the blue end of the spectrum. These
rays are invisible to the eye, but reg
lister on Photographic plate. The
delicacy of the adjustment is indicated
by the fact that the microscope photo
graphs objects as small in diameter as
two or three hundred atoms, which is
the closest to nothing that visibility
has yet approached.
Francis F. Lucas, in charge of the
work, observed that carbon completely
absorbed the ultraviolet light, which
meant that if line of carbon suf-
f1ciently thin could be laid across the
surface under the microscope, it would
form an object of sufficient contrast
to make focus possible. How to get
such line was solved after conSid-
erable experiment, simply by laying a
sheet of ordinary carbon paper face
down on the specimen and drawing
line with a pencil on the back OF
the carbon.

Mad Man Scrambles
Rail Traffic After
Selling Signal Tower
BY the Associated Press.


HOUSTON, Tex, November Is.
-Seizing control of signal tower
at the intersection of the South

Great Northern Railroad tracks
here Tuesday, a madman turned
rail traffic topsy-turvey by throw
ing block signals with all the
recklessness of a boy playing with
a toy.
There were no collisions, but
it took some time for diSpatchers
to untangle the scramble after
the self-appointed director had
been relieved of his job by two
policemen.
Mounting the tower with pis-
tol, the maniac threatened l.. r.
Cotton, the towerman, who fled.
Then he took charge, pulling
levers with no regard for the
lives of the crews and passengers
depending on the block signals.
Lights and semaphores began
to play crafty, changing every
few seconds, which warned train
men that something was amiss.
Trains were halted.
Two policemen climbed the
tower with drawn revolvers and
subdued the man.
