Houses Are About ito Be REMEMBERED

The houses in Chapel Hill,
both homes and business build
ings, are to be REMEMBERED with
in the next week or so. The
town government has bought
the numbers and will send its
men around to tack them on.
There has been considerable
confusion in the house numbers,
and it has been particularly
troublesome to the post-office.
Some houses have borne no
numbers at all, and in some
cases two houses have borne the
same number. According to the
rules of the post-office depart
ment the houses in a town where
there are carriers must be prop
erly numbered.
A committee of the board of
aldermen attacked the problem

lost this month will be made up
by adding 2 days to the winter
quarter, cutting 2 days off the
spring holiday, and adding 2
days to the spring quarter. Win
ter quarter examinations will
be held March 16 to 20; the
spring holiday will cover the
days March 21 to "a; spring

A Letter from Miss Loula Hendon

parked in the middle Of the
campus, and an airplane buzzed
overhead. Here was the new
Chapel Hill. Only a few mo-
ments later / was carried back
to the old by a letter from my

Greensboro. She had her school
at her mothers home which is
now the home of the Acacia fra

MOVietOne Is Coming
To BE Installed in Theatre Here
along with the VitaphOne

The manager of the Carolina
Theatre, f. Darlington Smith,
has contracted for the installa-
tion of the Movietone as well as
the Vitaphone. Since both
mechanisms have to be installed
at the same time, and the Movie
tone people had so many or
ders that they could not deliver
their apparatus here when the
Vitaphone was ready, the in
stallation has been postponed to
the end of March.
After that there will be one or
two talking picture-dramas
every week at the Carolina. The
Movietone News-that is, the
news-reel pictures with sounds
to-match-will be on twice a
week. When an airplane lands
you will hear the whirr of the
propeller; when an American
official greets a visiting foreign
notable, you will hear the greet
ing and the response; then a
battleship salutes you will hear
the guns; and when soldiers pa
rade you will hear the band
play; and SO on through all the
events that are chronicled on the
screen.
The Vitaphone Vaudeville will
be presented once or twice a
week.

M. c. S. Noble, Jr., Weds
Married to Miss Dorothy Mendenhall
in New Orleans Tuesday

M. c. S. Noble, Jr., was mar
ried Tuesday morning in New
Orleans to Miss Dorothy Men
denhall of Lexington, North
Carolina. Their engagement
had been known to their families
and friends for many months,
but the marriage came as sur
prise. A telegram from the
groom to his father, telling him
of the marriage, reached Chapel
Hill Tuesday.
Young Mr.. Noble went to New
Orleans last week to deliver an
address at an educational con-
ference. Mrs. Mendenhall and
her daughter arrived there Mon
day night. The groom-to-be
was not at the station to meet
them, and they learned that he
was in the hospital with influ-
enza; but he was not seriously
i'll. Rev. c. S. Sholl of the Canal
Street Presbyterian Church per-
formed the marriage ceremony
at the hospital Tuesday morn
ing. The couple planned to 60
to Havana on their honeymoon
as soon as the patient recovered
they may be on their way by
now.
Mr.. Noble was graduated from
the University here in 1921 and
took both his masters and doc
tors degrees at Harvard. Af-
ter year of study in Europe
he served for a year on the fac
ulty of Davidson College. Now
he is director of statistics and
information in the North Car
olina department of education
in Raleigh.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Men
denhall of Lexington. Her
father died year ago.

The Ray Brothers, Blacksmiths

My 7-year-old nephew knows
about automobiles and radios
and airplanes and automatic
telephones, but he had never
seen a blacksmith's shop until
/ took him to the Rays place
the other day. His excitement
over the anvil, the red-hot
metal, and the process of shoe
ing a mule set me to reflecting
upon how little people see or
hear of blacksmiths in these
days.
1t does not seem so very long
since Longfellow's figure of the
village blacksmith was one
familiar to every community,
but now it has faded out of the
picture Of modern life.

Telegraph and Telephone Companies
Benefit from the Closing

There are two business con-
Germs in Chapel Hill which
gained instead of losing from
the sudden closing of the Uni
versity last week: the tele-
graph company and the tele-
phone company, AS soon as the
official notice was issued from
the South building. students
flocked to the Western Union Of
flee to send messages home; and
the telephone central was
swamped by long-distance calls.
Many of these messages had
a purpose other than to inform
parents of what had happened
they called for quick remit
tance of money-money that
was needed for the settlement
of bills and the purchase of rail-
road and bus tickets. The tele-
graph operators were busy far
into Thursday night, and when
they came in Friday morning
they had a large sheaf of tele-
grams awaiting despatch. There
were more than so long-dis-
tance telephone calls filed Thurs
day evening that could not get
through, because of overcrowd-
ed wires, until Friday.

men, they have always been
known by the diminutives,
Tommy and Benny. The com.
ing of the automobile, and the
consequent eclipse of the horses
reduced their trade here, and
so they moved out beyond the
western edge of the village, to
Carrboro, where they would be
nearer the farms; and most OF
their patrons today are farm
ers.
Part of their establishment is
a carpentry and woodworking
room where they make repairs
on wagons and plows.

THE UNIVERSITIES
CLOSING A BLOW
TO TOWNS TRADE
Premature Departure of Stu
dents Causes Big Loss to
the Business Community
NEGROES MISS THEIR GIFTS

The business community of
Chapel Hill was hard hit by the
closing of the University on ac-
count of the influenza epidemic.
AS far as student patronage
was concerned, 8 days were
taken out of the years busiest
season. Nobody knows exactly
the extent of loss in gross re-
ceipts, to merchants and res
taurants and boarding houses,
but probably $4,000 is a low
estimate.
Consider food alone. There
are probably 1,700 students who
do not eat at Swain Hall, the
University's own eating house.
If each of these spends an aver
age of a dollar a day for his
meals, the total for 8 days runs
above $4,000.
Then there is thriving gift
trade done by the stores here in
the few days preceding the
Christmas recess-a trade of
which this year the stores are
robbed by the premature closing.
Candy, perfumes, stationery. pill
lows and pennants, ties and 9TH
er haberdashery, even the more
costly articles like radios and
enthusiastically there is
great volume of business done
in these things. The tailors and
pressing clubs also suffered
heavily.
clearinghouse keepers had
laid in supplies, part of which
was in the form of perishable
vegetables. Suddenly they
found their supplies left on their
hands with no consumers.
One class of workers that lost
many dollars were janitors,'
cooks, walters, dishwashers, and
other servants, Many of these
were released from their jobs.
Not only this, but they went
without the gifts, amounting
certainly to many hundreds of
dollars, which they customarily
receive from students at Christ
mas time The men who work
around the college buildings and
fraternity houses count upon
these gifts-in which they are
justified by experience-as a
regular increment to their years
income. Several of them who
are accustomed to pay their
bills every month had to ask,
and have received, an extension
of credit because of their unex-
pected loss.
Many of the negroes, thrown
out of their jobs, have been GO
ing about seeking temporary
work in the homes of the village.

ZONES LAID OUT.
AND SIREN TELLS
WHERE A FIRE IS
Village Divided Into 4 Parts,
and First Blast Indicates
Whence Alarm Comes
STATIONS SHOWN ON MAP

Chapel Hill has been divided
into zones for fire alarms, so
that anybody hearing the siren
can tell in what section of the
village the fire is. The division
is as follows:
Zone /: west of Columbia
street and north of Franklin.
columbia is the street that
runs from the campus down
past Strowd's garage; Franklin
is the main street.)
Zone 2: east of Columbia
street and north of Franklin.
Zone 8: east of Columbia
street and south of Franklin.
Zone A: west of Columbia
street and south of Franklin.
There are a number of sta
tions which are called ''imagin-
airy fire boxes" Later actual
fire boxes may be placed at these
points.
For example: the station at
the Old East building on the
campus, in zone 3, is No. 81.
The station at the Carolina Inn,
in Zone A, is No. Al.
Here is the way the alarm
signals work: If there is a fire
near the Old East the siren at
fire headquarters will sound 3
blasts (for Zone - and then /,
indicating 81. If there is a fire
near the Carolina Inn there will
be A blasts (for Zone A. and
then /, indicating Al. The sig
nal will be repeated several
times.
A few examples are as fol-
lows: Two blasts and then 3,
near Acacia house, East Frank
lin and Boundary; 2 blasts and
then 7, near M. c. S. Mobiles
house, Hillsboro and North; 3
blasts and then 4. near Dashiell
house, Park Place; 3 blasts and
then S, Gimghoul section; A
blasts and then 6, near Fields
apartment, McCauley and RAN
som; A blasts and then 7, near
Utley house, Vance and Pitts
boro; ] blast and then 3, corner
of Rosemary and Church; l
blast and then 2, near Vann
Nunn's store, Rosemary and
Mitchell.
The zones are shown on a map
which was prepared under the
direction of Town Manager
Foushee.

Chapel Hill Chatf

At the post-office Thursday
morning | saw R. D. w. Connor
standing in line at the parcel
post window with an armful of
packages; and Sturgis E.
Leavitt, and William M. Dey,
and other husbands. From
their expressions all of them
seemed to be in a fairly amiable
frame of mind, and Mr.. Dey was
smiling radiantly. The general
procedure in Chapel Hill seems
to be: the wives pack 'em, and
the husbands tote and mail 'em.
On the whole | believe the hus-
bands get the best of the bar
gain; toting and mailing is
something of a task, but pack
ing is more arduous and takes
longer.
The Macmillan twins, who
have just recovered from their
illness, are as engaging a pair
OF boys as ever | met. Of
course twins always look alike,
but the resemblance between
these is extraordinarily close.
How do you tell 'em apart p"
somebody passing the home the
other day asked the nurse-girl.
Il have a hard time doing il"
she said. "When | come in the
morning | have to find out from
their mother which is which, and
then / roll down Roberts socks,
and all day that's the way |
tell the difference" The twins
are not informed of the purpose
of the sock-rolling, else they
would probably restore their
uniformity for the fun of
battling the nurse. l should
think it would be a good idea to
have some artistic tattoOing
done on one of the boys. Or on
both, if jealousy were aroused.
One design could be painted on
Dougald's wrist or ankle, an
other on Roberts. If | may of
fer a suggestion, it is this: The
University's coat of arms is a
shield with the words Lux and
Libertas. Mr.. Macmillan is a
professor in the University and
both he and Mrs. Macmillan are
loyal alumni. How would it do
to tattoo the coat of arms on
each twin, but divide the words
between them-double the shield
but split the Latin? Lux on one
twin, Libertas on the other?
