Apparently the pathetic note which
Mrs. Dayton sent yesterday to Har-

has aroused the feelings of many
residents OF the city. The letter, in
which Mrs. Dayton explained that
she had but little money and would

her arrival here, was published in

Or maybe it started there, for
rumors of the alleged activities of
one of the oldest cockatoos in the
bird house have been whispered
about the city for some time.
The question which confronts the
District is this: Is the cockatoo try
ing to sharpen his bill. or Is he
attempting a daring escape from
his cage.
W. c. Blackburn. in charge Of
the Zoo, has come to the defense
Of the cockatoo. He Is a wise old
bird. and 1t may be that he has
completely fooled his keepers, but
Blackburn maintains that the
scratched places on the back wall
of the cockatoo's cage are due
simply to attempts of the bird to
sharpen his bill and look like any
gay young blade.
While the rumor cannot be con.
firmed. however, It Is said that
those scratched places are no such

Artisans Make Capitals and Other
Decorative Parts for New Library

Almost any time Of the day
there is a group of inquisitive
individuals Drawing the chance
of getting spattered with plas-
ter, poking about in the desire
to learn how these buildings
are put together anyway. The
Workmen are flattered to have
an audience made up Of what
they call college folk" and re-
spond enthusiastically to any
question put to them.
Nevertheless the same dill
gence is needed in gathering in
formation about the new libra
ry as in collecting the various
parts of the architectural orna-
ments, for, in this day of
specialization, each man knows
his own job and only his
own. Thus the niche-maker
knows inches, but know
ledge as to what is placed in
them must be gained from an
other source. The man who
tells with delight how the capi-
tails are brought into being
knows nothing about the pur-
pose that the various rooms are
to serve.
However, with a little pa
tlence, the Investigator can find
out anything he wants to know,
but in return he will be expected
to supply information concern
ing the use to which the various
buildings around are put, what
boys learn in college, and why
they want to learn it. One
workman expressed his amaze
ment at the age of the students.
why, they're just boys" he
said, and wondered how people
SO young could be working for
a college degree, which must re-
quire so much learning.

The new library is progress
ing. Pillars, capitals, and
bases are scattered around in
all stages of integration, and
an insight can be gained into
this business of architectural
decoration.
Sections of plaster capitals
of the Corinthian order are
piled up waiting to be assembled
later, so far voluteless and
shaftless. The careful worked
out exteriors and the rough
interiors can be examined in
detail, and one gets some idea
of what classic monuments and
edifices must have looked like
in the process of erection.
The volutes have to be cast
separately and plastered on
afterwards, and, as for the
shafts, so far they are merely
long coils Of wire with circular
wooden base pieces waiting for
their imitation marble covering
which is due from New York
any time now.
When finally amalgamated
these columns, twelve in num-
ber, are to decorate the main
reading room on the second
floor.
On the central table in the
main hall upstairs is laid out a
white mass covered with plates
of metal, cemented with putty,
and bordered with strips of
wood. 1t resembles nothing so
much as huge eggshell that
has been split from top to bot
tom, but in reality it is a niche
seen back-side-to. It will en-
circle a statue or. drinking foun-
tain, and will fill the elliptical
hole in the wall at the first turn
of the stairs.

SOthern Will Recite
Premier Shakespearean Actor VIII
Appear Here Next Wednesday

The students and the people
of Chapel Hill will have the
opportunity to hear a former
premier Shakespearean actor of
the American stage deliver a
series of readings and a lecture
when E. H. Sothern appears at
Memorial hall next Wednesday,
February 27, on the Student
Entertainment Committees sea-
sonal program.
IN bis youth SOthern achieved
the name of the leading light
comedian of his day. Twenty
years ago he essayed the famous
role of Hamlet, and he and his
wife, Julia MarloWe, were hail
ed as Americas greatest inter-
prefers of Shakespeare.
With the sudden illness of his
wife Sothern turned his dramat-
ic abilities to the modern drama,
playing for three seasons in
various productions. Finding
only one of these to his liking,
however, he determined to for
sake the acting stage for good,
after more than forty years be-
hind the footlights.
Mr.. Sothern is bringing with
him on the present tour scenes
with Ophelia and the Queen
from Hamlet" the third act
from "Othello"; several scenes
from Lord Dundreary'; the
murder scene from Macbeth" l"
and several scenes from IF |
Were King"

placed on sale within a short
time at one dollar each. The
program will begin at eight

StrOwd Insures Garage against Falling Aircraft

Bruce Strowd has taken out
a $4,000 insurance policy to
protect his garage from damage
by falling airplanes. This is
the only policy of the kind ever
out in Chapel Hill; but it must
be fairly common elsewhere, for
the document embodying the
contract is a regular printed
form.
The garage building, says the
policy, is protected against di-
rect loss and damage by falling
aircraft, of all descriptions, in
Guiding airplane, seaplane, dir
igible or free balloon, forced
landing of such aircraft, wheth-
er out of control or not, and by
the falling of any part or equip
ment thereof, whether the en-
tire aircraft fall or not"
But the insurance company
"is not liable for any loss or
damage whether incidental to
aircraft or not, caused by wind,
tidal wave, frost cold weather,

explosion, tightening, high wa
ter, overflow, or cloudburst; !;
nor by order of any civil author
ity; nor by theft nor by neglect
Of the insured to use all reason
able means to save the property
during and after damage by
falling aircraft"
When Mr.. Scott of the Ser
vice Insurance Agency had look
ed through his manuals to find
the rate for this kind of insur-
ance he informed Mr.. Strowd
that it was 5 cents on the 500;
that is, $5 for the $4,000
policy. The chances of the
garages being damaged by fall
ing aircraft is so remote that it
might seem that Mr.. Strowd
was throwing away his money.
But the publicity he is getting
from this newspaper report, for
being the first Chapel Hill citi-
zen to insure a building against
planes, is worth more than the
premium.

GRADING DONE ON
ROAD TO GRAHAM
4Alamance End Will Be Paved
Hard Oil or Sand Clay in
Orange County
AN EAsT-WEsT SHORT CUT

Work on the new road from
here to Graham, a short cut to
the west, has gone ahead rapid
ly. The grading and the bridges
are practically completed, and
the laying of the surface will
begin when the winter weather
is past.
For travellers between Green's
boro and Raleigh this road will
effect a saving in distance of A
or 5 miles besides cutting out
the delays incident to passage
through Durham. From Gra-
ham to Nelson the distance on
the Central Highway (No. 10Y
is Al miles, while over the new
route through Chapel Hill it will
be about Sc miles.
The II miles of the new road
that lie within Alamance coun-
ty will be of concrete. This is
definitely settled, and the paving
work is expected to begin by
the middle of March. With a
fair break of weather it should
be completed in four months
that is, by the middle of July.
Between Chapel Hill and the
Alamance line the surface will
probably be, at first, sand-clay
or gravel. 1t is not yet known
whether the state highway COM
mission will allot to this dis
trict sufficient money to put
down a hard-oil top. There has
been some talk to the effect that
this type of surface may be laid
both from the Alamance line to
Chapel Hill and from Chapel
Hill to Nelson.
The section of the road within
Carrboro and Chapel Hill, about
three miles, will be pavement.
1t is already paved from the
Carrboro school on down the
main street of Chapel Hill and
past the Inn; and the few hun
dred Yards to the rear of the
campus are to be paved this
spring.
