Plans of the Government to enforce

clude the allotment of more funds to
the Department of Justice, If recon-

appropriations committee are approved
by Congress
It was said at the department. to-

possibly million dollars, was being pre-
pared by the Budget Bureau and that
It probably would be sent to Congress
along with the Treasury's request for an
additional $2,500,000 for the Prohibition
and Customs Bureaus.
One of the chief complaints from
prohibition enforcement offcials has
been that they could not secure speedy
trials in the Federal courts. Recently,
they said, 81 900 cases were pending in
the courts, with no prospects OF clearir ;
them up.
The additional funds win be used by
the department, it was understood, in
employing additional attorneys to handle
prohibition cases in each of the con-
gested districts.

The Loyalty Fund
Council With Leslie We'll as Chairman
Holds Meeting Here

With Leslie We'll of Goldsboro
as chairman, the council of the
University Alumni Loyalty
Fund met here Thursday with
representatives from the local
alumni committees and some
few class representatives. The
meeting was held to follow
up the requests for money sent
to $4,000 alumni, and to confer
on the general problem of rails
ing funds among the graduates
Of the University.
Organizations have been
formed in an attempt to start
the habit of private donations
to the University that will ul-
tlmately result in a large en-
dowment fund. The council has
been engeged in the work for
months, seeking to stimulate
among the alumni cooperation
in the program,
The great majority of the
$4,000 appeals were for dona-
tions of $25 or less. None ex-
ceeded $500. In bringing out
this fact Chairman We'll also
emphasized his announcement
that this is not a begging cam
paign, depending upon money
alone. Success depends upon the
sustained interest and loyal sup
port of the donors.

by W. H. Marlborough, Jr.)
With seven games behind it
the University's football team is
in the midst of a final drive be-
ginning tomorrow against
Davidson at Davidson and reach
zig its climax with the Virginia
game here Thanksgiving and
ending with Duke in Durham.
The teams record to-date
shows six victories against one
loss. Opening against Wake
Forest the Tar Heels showed
great strength in winning 48-O.
Every available man was used
in this contest. Continuing its
great scoring power the team
defeated Maryland at College
Park 43-0. Picked to win over
Georgia Tech, Carolina downed
the Atlanta team 1877. The Tar
Heels returned from Atlanta
and faced the University of
Georgia on the following Sat
urday. Georgia was fresh from
a 1910 victory over Yale and raj
lied in the closing minutes of
play to beat Carolina 1912. Fol
lowing the loss to Georgia the
team began its scoring again
and trampled Y. P. |. 1912 in
Kenan Stadium. State College
was next and fell 32-0.
Before the University of South
Carolina's Homecoming crowd
the North Carolina team main
tanned its average of 80 points
per game by trampling the
Gamecocks 400.
Davidson is known to have a
team which plays harder against
stronger teams. However, Caro-
lina's attack is expected to be
too strong for the Presbyterians
tomorrow. Virginia has played
up and down football this season,
but history shows that since the
war all the Thanksgiving games
have been close. Duke seems to
have recovered from early sea-
son losses to eastern elevens and
showed considerable scoring
power against Louisiana State
Saturday. The game December
7 between the neighboring insti-
tutions will close the season for
both teams.

Automobile Mishaps
Mrs. Harlan Slightly Hurt in Wreck !;
McCorkles Upset by Hit-and- Runner

There have been several auto
mobile wrecks in and around the
University lately. On Saturday
morning Mrs. j. Penrose Har-
land was driving toward town in
her Chevrolet coupe past the Inn,
when the car in front of her
stopped suddenly. She applied
her brakes, but a truck owned
by a tobacco company hit her
car in the rear, throwing it with
considerable force into the one
in front. Mrs. Harland, slightly
injured, went to the University
infrmary, but it is reported that
she is all right now.
The coupe was damaged a lit
tie. According to several wit
nesses, the truck was travelling
at a high rate of speed.
Sunday afternoon 7. S. and
Mrs. McCorkle were travelling
toward Durham in a Ford coupe,
when their car was sidesWiped
by another. Neither Mr.. Nc
Corkle nor his wife was serious
ly injured, though it is said that
their coupe turned over three
times. Strange to say, none of
the glass in the car was broken.
1t has been reported that the
driver of the car which struck
the McCorkle's was drunk at the
time of the accident, and that
he was taken to Jail and locked
up for the night.

COLONEL PRATT
MAKES ADDRESS
ARMISTICE DAY
Chapel Hill Soldier Reviews
Accomplishments of Ameri-
cans in World War
URGES HEARERS TO VOTE
by BrotOning Roach)

These celebrations not only
commemorate the signing of the
paper that ended the World
War;" said Colonel Joseph Hyde
Pratt at the Armistice cere-
monies in Gerard hall Monday,
''but they recall to US the spirit
of unselfishness, the self-sacri-
flee, the patriotism of all those
connected with the events of
1914-1918. Today is day of
reverence for the accomplish
ments and the patriotic service
achieved during the war. 1t re-
calls the thrills of joy and
thanksgiving that burst forth
when the Armistice was signed
eleven years ago today, and the
tumultuous expression of joy
that replaced the pent-up emo
tions, the agony of suspense,
which were the lot of all who
were concerned with the outcome
of the conflict"
Colonel Pratt, former profess
sOr of Geology in the University
and one time state geologist,
served in France as Colonel of
the 105th. Engineers in the 30th
Division. . His regiment saw
action in Belgium early in the
war and took part in both phases
of the famous Somme offensive
which broke the Hindenburg
line.
After a brief summary of the
spirit and activities of the peo-
pie of the United States, and
those of North Carolina in par
ticular during the war, Colonel
Pratt closed his talk with an ap-
peal to the people of this state
to renew their allegiance and
cooperate with the government
in its present functions and pro-
blems, just as every citizen rose
to meet the emergency in 1917
and 1918. He implored the peo-
pie to exercise their right as
citizens to vote; to be just as
patriotic now as during the war
and to help make this govern
ment one truly of the people, for
the people and by the people.
The Armistice day celebra-
tions began Sunday with the
presentation at the Carolina
theatre of ''The Soul of France,
a war play sponsored by the
American Legion. The cere-
monies Monday were in charge
of DR.. John M. Booker of the
University English department,
chairman of the joint committee
of the University faculty and the
American Legion post. The ser
vices began with the invocation
by Rev. A. S. Lawrence, state
chaplain of the Legion as well
as chaplain of the local post, fol
lowed by the singing of the
national anthem. Then Dean Ad-
Olson Hibbard read the roll of
the University dead and Com
mander Paul Robertson of the
Orange county Legion post read
the roll of the Orange county
World War dead.
Immediately before II O'Clock,
during Colonel Pratt's address,
taps was sounded and a two
minutes silence was observed
at exactly II. The services
closed with the singing of
America and the pronouncement
of the benediction.

BAILEY DRAMA
AREAL FOLKSY
SORT OF THING
"JOb's Kinfolks" Kind of Play
For Which Playmakers
Have Been Striving
WINDOW OF MILL LIFE
by MiIt Wood)

duction Saturday night of "Job's
Kinfolks" and let the audience
look in through the eyes of
Loretto Carroll Bailey on the
domestic life of North Carolina
mill people.
The plot of the play, of
course, had a universal theme.
All good plays do. Accordingly,
the unhappy marriage so that
the mother and grandmother of
the bride could have a home,
might just as well happened at
Tacoma, Wash, or What Cheer,
Iowa.
But back to the window. The
pane through which the audience
watched the mill people enact
their story, was just as vivid as
the important atmosphere-creat-
ing window in the living rom of
Kate's home. This opened out
on the stained glass and wall of.
a church and through it came
the strains Of singing voices at
prayer meeting, just as graphi-
cally as the feelings Of the mill
people came through the make
believe window at the fOOtlights
to the representative and large
crowd in the theatre.
Mrs. Bailey's three-act play
is as good as, if not better than,
in its original form as one act.
But not having seen the first
draft of it, it is impossible to
say-only that the present pro-
ductiOn satisfies every want of
the theatre-goers. And that's
the true test, after all. If the
whimsical public is pleased, it's
great play.
Moreover, the three-act play
bears out the fact that if
thing is good, then it is also good
before in contemplation and is
good afterward in memory.
Therefore, Miss Bailey develops
her original play with two more
good acts, one before the big
second act, and one following it.
Although probably lacking
the fine finish that would be
given by players on Broadway
stage, the cast portrayed the
mill life story remarkably. And
without doubt, Chapel Hill peo-
pie thought it was better done
by their own players rather than
by dyed-in- -th-WOol profession
ais.
What if a character were
overplayed here, underplayed
there and perfectly portrayed in
this place? The sequence and
dramatic presentation of the
whole was unspoiled by it or
them.
Rather to an outsider coming
from afar and seeing these
widely known Carolina Play
makers and playWrights for the
first time, the production of
Mrs. Bailey's Jobs Kinfolks"
last week was a revelation. All
in a bundle, here was a dis
tinctly Chapel Hill institution
which had been created in the
past few years for the world, and
accepted by the world. The
pioneer behind it all, is Prof.
Frederick Koch, of course. He
was in the audience. A promis-
ing playwright, and ARRIVED"
if you please, is representated in
Mrs. Bailey. She was on the
stage in the lovable old grand
mother role. Here were other
actresses and actors, also on the
stage, portraying those dramatic

MARTIAL MUSIC
BY MARINE BAND
IN FINE SETTING
Best Musical Organization of
Kind Gives Matinee in
Kenan Stadium
IN TIN CAN AT NIGHT.
(By Charles B. Stonestreet)

|
Picturesque Kenan Stadium,
the $300,000 playground of the
U. N, c. athletes, was yesterday
the scene of another triumph
for Americas Oldest military
band-the U. S.. Marine Band
of Washington, directed by Cap
tain Taylor Branson, ninth and
latest leader of this great COM
pany of musicians.
The afternoon concert was
given with all the beauty and
ineness of which the Presidents
band is capable, from the thun-
dering beats of the worlds best
known marches to the lifting
strains of the most intriguing
waltzes of the masters hands
and the solos of the many and
varied instruments of the band.
The band was situated on the
north side of the stadium mid
way between the sidelines and
the stands at the fifty-yard line.
The band stand had a sound
board effect on two sides and at
the back-this served a double
purpose since it kept the peep
ing Johns from gratifying their
secret wishes, and threw the
sounds out into the stand at the
same time.
Two thousand school children
and college students from Chapel
Hill and surrounding territory
were thrilled by the tunes of
the cOlorful band, and the num-
ber of encores that were rem
dered by Director Branson veri-
fled the amount of applause.
When we take into considera-
ton that the band has for 1913
years been the band of the Presi-
dents, and is now the oldest
military band in existence, with
an average term of service for
each member of eighteen years,
and has had as leaders and
directors such prominent musi-
clans as Tyre, who was the first
director of the band; Sousa,
greatest of the American march
composers; SanteImann, who
held the baton for 26 years and
accomplished wonders with the
band, how can we deny the fact
that this band is now the best
in the musical world and that
it gave one of the best per-
formances of its career yester-
day afternoon in Kenan Sta
dium?
Senator Bob Taylor of Ten
nessee is responsible for these
southern tours of the band and
it's concerts for those who never
get a chance to go to Washing
ton. 1t seems that the band was
presenting a program one
hot afternoon while Congress
was in session, and Senator
Taylor, listening, thought how
his own people would like to
hear the mighty band of the
Presidents and went to Presi-
dent Taft and asked for per-
mission for the band to go. The
permission was given. gladly,
and the enthusiasm with which
it was received in the south
has resulted in the band making
a tour each year.
Yesterdays matinee program
contained such well-known band
arrangements of the better
known operas and rhapsodies as
'The Flying Dutchman" by
Richard Wagner and Llewellyn's
eThe Premier" a trumpet solo
played by Arthur s. Witcomb,
the foremost living trumpet
player today. Stephen Heller's
