Jones' Book Praised
Volume is Subject of Review on Front
Page of New York Times

The front page of last Sun
days issue of the New York
Times Book Review is given
ever to an appraisal by Henry
Longan Stuart of Howard Mum
ford Jones' America and French
Culture.
Wisely, Mr.. Jones does not
seek to make out a case for any
influence by France upon Amer
lea in political and social essen
tials," says Mr.. Stuart. "The
best he offers at the end of his
book is the very moderate claim
that, in so far as American man
ners differ from the manners Of
Great Britain, it is evident that
the French have had an impor-
tant part in the change 1t is
rather as a record of internatio-
nal contacts and impacts that
his book scores, and here we
feel that in sheer scope and doc
umentation it comes near being
the definitive text book"
The reviewer praises the au-
thor for not undertaking the
introduction into America by the
French of a spirit of buOyancy
and cheerfulness, a love of the
beautiful for it's own sake, "a
certain gay acceptance of life
as it is."

Car Thief Caught
Man Who Robbed Charles f. Ray Is
Captured in Madison, Georgia

The car of Charles E. Ray of
the University's engineering
school, a Chevrolet cabriolet, was
stolen from in front of Mrs.
Green Bryan's residence on
Franklin street last Friday. A
day or so later the police in
Madison, Georgia, town about
40 miles this side of Atlanta,
telephoned the police here that
the car was there and that the
man who had driven it into town
was in Jail. Something about
his behavior had made a filling
station manager suspect him
he had been unable to give salts
factory replies to questions and
had been arrested. Chief of
Police Featherstone left here
early this week to get the thief
and bring him to North Caro-
lima for trial, and they were ex-
pected to arrive in Chapel Hill
last night.

DURHAM LEAPS
FROM CAR AND
GETS POSSUM
Animal Bound for Cemetery Has
Journey Interrupted by
Agile Pharmacist
CAPTIVE GIVEN TO NEGRO

1t appears that the Eubanks
drug store staff plays a promin-
ent part in the capture of ami
mails in and around Chapel Hill.
Only week or so ago Jim
Snipes, the negro messenger,
climbed a tree and rescued the
Winston kitten after several pro-
fessors had stood by ambitious
but helpless. And now Carl
Durham, Mr.. Eubanks' chief as
sociate, is the hero of an adven-
ture with 'possum.
When the store was about to
close Saturday night around 10
O'Clock, a package for Mr..
Stoudemire, who lives out in the
Gimghoul colony, was still un-
delivered. Mr.. Durham volun-
teered to take it in his car. He
had seen it safe in the hands of
the purchaser and was rounding
the corner at Five Points, COM
ing out of the Gimghoul road,
when the lights of his car reveal
ed 'possum directly in front.
The animal was bound straight
for the cemetery. AS it crossed
the curb into the woods beside
the road, Mr.. Durham made a
quick turn of the steering wheel
so that the twin bars of light
from the reflectors still fell upon
the 'possum.
The pharmacist jammed on
the brakes, threw open the door,
leapt out, and gave chase. In a
moment or two he had caught up
with the 'possum and grabbed
it. Dazed by the light, and no
doubt surprised by the vigor of
the pursuit, it offered but a
feeble resistance. Presently it
was safely imprisoned in the
Ford coupe, and the coupe was
rolling back to the village.
Mr.. Durham stopped at
Gooch's and marched through
the cafe, 'possum in hand, as un-
concernedly as if this were a
daily performance. He present
ed his captive to Gooch's big
negro cook, Marion Smith, who
received it delightedly and
showered CALCULATIONS of graft
tude upon the donor.

Bank Has Slight Scare
Strangers Hurry Away When Officer
Appears; Were SteelwOrkers

Just before the bank was to
open last Friday morning M. E.
Hogan and Marvin Utley saw
two strangers lettering on the
sidewalk and now and then
glancing at the door. A big
Cadillac car, not like any one
seen in Chapel Hill before, was
at the curb, with the curtains
up.
The appearance of the men
and the car made Messrs. Hogan
and Utley a trifIe suspicious,
and they sent in a call for the
police. Officer Mayes came.
When the men saw him examin-
ing them closely they got into
the car, backed out quickly from
the curb, and sped off toward
Carrboro. Jack Sparrow, who
happened to be standing nearby,
took the policeman into his car,
and they went in pursuit.
The Cadillac was found in a
yard in Carrboro. 1t turned out
that the men in it had been en-
ployed as steel workers on one
of the University buildings.
They had been living in a board
ing house in Carrboro several
weeks.

A Spring Stroll

call last Monday the first
day Of spring. Not because
there were not warm days be-
fore, but because then for the
first time l found people out of
doors really relaxed, with that
wearied winter look gone from
their faces. They were chatting
across one another's walls and
fences, and setting out plants
and the children were about the
yards, the smallest ones in baby
carriages, blinking in the sun,
and others running around on
the grass or playing in sand
piles. The light garments and
the absence of wraps betokened
a joyous faith in the new season.

gardening zeal, the harmony be-
tween Mr.. Lear's blue shirt and

His daughter lay in a great bas-

Purse Lost by Mrs. Wettach Is Brought to
Her, with All Contents by Jim Blacknel

A negro boy about twelve
years old, walking by Strowd's
garage Saturday, saw a purse
lying in the roadway near the
curb. He picked it up, took it
to his home out in the country
two miles north of the village,
and turned it over to his father,
Jim Blacknel, the man who
works on the campus lawns un-
der w. C. Coker.
They opened the purse. The
first thing that caught their
eye was a platinum watch. They
didn't know it was platinum but
they could tell it was a mighty
fine watch. There were bills and
silver that counted up to more
than $29, and some other things.
And there was a card with a
name on it, but they couldn't
read this.

CITIZENS TALK
OF EXPENSE OF
SCHOOL BUSES
Cost Of Transporting Pupils
Is the Main Topic at
HillsbOrO Meeting
BAD ROADS CAUSE DELAYS

School busses were the main
topic under consideration at the
meeting of the Orange County
Civic Association in the court
house in Hillsboro last Friday
afternoon. This association, of
which E. C. Branson is chair
man and Paul w. Wager secre-
tary, is a group of citizens who
come together once a month to
discuss various aspects of coun-
ty government.
What did the school buses
cost? Under what procedure
were they purchased? How long
did they last? How much did
it cost to operate them? How
well were they able to maintain
their schedules? These and 9th
er questions bearing upon the
school transportation system
were asked; and r. H. Clayton,
county superintendent, and G.
A. Brown, superintendent of the
HillsborO schools, gave the ques-
TONERS information. One of the
facts stated by Mr.. Clayton was
that, in the school year 1926
1927, the cost of transportation
per child, for all the children
travelling on the busses in the
county, was S2.40 a month, or
$14.40 for the statutory six
months school year. This does
not include depreciation.
The condition of the roads has
an important bearing upon the
cost of bus operation. Except
for the state highways in the
county, the roads of Orange are
poor. In wet weather some of
them are well nigh impassable
the busses are subjected to
heavy wear-and-tear, the chill
dren arrive at school long after
the opening hour and sopetimes
do not get home until after dark.
County Commissioner John
McCauley, in the course of the
discussion Friday, said: "The
busses ruin the roads. When
the roads get wet the busses
tear them up before they have
a chance to get dry"
So it appears that the roads

vice, but Sunday was rainy and
the road to Chapel Hill was too
muddy for it. So the man and
the boy tramped into the village.
First they went to Jip's friend,
H. r. Totten of the botany de-
partment, and asked him what
to do. He hadn't heard of any
body's losing a purse. But when
they saw Policeman Sloan he
told them that he had been
notified of the loss by Mrs. r. H.
Wettach.
'You tell her I'll have it at

said to the officer.
