Wagstaff Is Recovering from Bad Fall

II. M. Wagstaff, professor Of
history in the University, Is
rapidly recovering from the ef-
fects Of the fall he had last week.
He was sitting in an iron
swing on the north porch of his
home Thursday afternoon.
Turning to look behind him, he
pushed down upon the floor
with his feet, and this light i'm
pulse sufficed to lift the base Of
the swing from the floor and
tip 1t over backward. The end
of the porch, about three feet
above the ground, was only a
few inches away, and Mr.. Wag-
staff fell off, and the swing
which is very heavy, followed

daughter and Miss Betsy Balm
she gave Mr.. Branson explicit
directions about the care of
Dicky, the canary bird, She
also gave them to the cook, 80
that there would be a double pro-

Last Year by $44, 600

The assessed valuation of prop
erty in Chapel Hill was report
ed to the aldermen Monday,
September ., by Town Manager
Foushee, as "a basis for the
determination Of the tax rate.
The assessments come TO Il total
of $3,6l4,000, including both real
and personal property, as com
pared with $3, $4,000 last year.
New buildings would have made
the increase considerably larger
than this $44, 900 had it not been
for a decline in the valuation of
personal property.
The real and personal prop
erty of Greek-letter fraterni-
ties is assessed at $308,000, of
business concerns at $2l4,000,
The realty Of fraternities Is as
sessed at 1887 900, Of business
concerns at 100000. The real

the street, the Wagstaffs.
Il am in trouble" he said. And
into the sympathetic ears of Mrs.
Wagstaff he poured the story Of
q stolen canary. No sign of bird
or cage, anywhere in the house.
"Oh, | suppose the cook just
gave 1t to one of the neighb0rs
to look after" said Mrs. Wag-
staff. "They all know about it,
and maybe she thought you
might forget to feed it,"
So they telephoned around to
the homes In that corner of the
village. But nobody knew any
thing about Dicky. The Steene
girls, who knew him we'll and
loved MN, were PARTICULARLY
disturbed at hearing of his dis
appearance. But 1t might be
that the cook had taken the bird
home with her, and they were
about TO pursue that chance

BOARD VOTES NO
ON ZONE CHANGE
Petitioners Fail in Effort TO
Have PittSbOro Street
ReclaSsified
ARGUMENTS PRO AND CON

AT their meeting Monday eve
ming the aldermen declined to
amend the zoning ordinance on
the petition of certain residents
of PittSboro street who asked
that the stretch from McCauley
street to West University Drive
be taken out Of zone l and put
in zone ,. The effect of such a
change would have been to ad-
NIT fraternities and apartment
houses to the neighborhood.
The petition was signed by j.
l., Foister, Mrs. j. T. Lawson.
II. F. Latshaw. and Theo Best.
A counter-petition. opposing the
change, was signed by A. NJ. Jor-
dan. S. II. Hobbs. Jr.. w. j. Me

and Richard Webb. Mr.. Webb
does not live on the block but
he is concerned because his
home on McCauley street ad-
joiHs one of the properties in
volved in the proposal
The reason behind the origina'
petition was that property had
a greater sales value ii it could
be offered to fraternitieS.
j, l.. Foister was the spokes-
man for one group and A. NJ.
Jordan for the other. The argu-
ment was spirited but entirely
good-natured, MIR Jordan said
that fraternity houses were not
agreeable to residents because
fraternity men kept different
hours, very often being active
after other people had gone to
bed. He also made the point
that the persons who were ask
ing for the change would prob
ably not be affected by it. be-
cause they would sell and move
away, whereas he and his fellow
counter-petitioners were vitally
concerned because they wanted

sharp metallic sound.
Mr.. Durham leapt up from his

was gone from his face. His

Another Negro, who had been

into the excavation and put his
shovel to work with Uncle

/ Starting the Day
Mrs. kluttz Warns up with a Few
Minor Tasks before Breakfast

At the first faint light of
dawn, the other day, Mrs.
kluttz was awakened by the
lowing of her COW. The voice
was that of a creature in dis
tresS.
That rascal forgot to feed
and water my cow" said Mrs.
kluttz to herself. SO she got up
and dressed and went to the
barn, She found the water
bucket with only a glimmer of
wetneSs in it. When she had
filled the bucket she went to the
garden and gathered an armful
of corn and gave that to the COW.
The cow was now we'll pro-
vided for. but Mrs. Kluttz had
become wide-awake and had no
more taste for sleep. AS . the
suns rays peeped over the hori-
zon she visited the fig bushes
and plucked a gallon of figs.
This turned her thoughts to fruit
in general. and she procured a
bucket from the kitchen porch
and loaded it with pears. She
peeled the pears and dumped
them into pot to be cooked into
preserves. She divided the figs
into two parts. one for her
breakfast guests. the other for
preserving. She made a fire
and placed the pots above it.
While the figs and pears sim
mered she went out into her
garden to inspect her lily pool.
The lilies looked bit dry, SO
she dragged a hose from the
front lawn and watered them.
by this time she was ready to
prepare breakfast and make
a real beginning of the day,

Carl Durham'S Search Ends in
Triumph in an Old Graveyard

In an old abandoned graveyard
in the remote southwest corner
of Orange county Carl Durham
sat upon a rock and smoked
his pipe. The smile that
usually adorns his face was not
there. He had a frustrated look.
The diggers under his COM
mand had made seven excava-
tions; yet now, as the shadows
of twilight began to fall, the OBJ
ject of his search had not been
found.
The white head of the old Ne
gro, Uncle Tom Stone, was bare
ly visible below the edge of the
seventh deep opening in the
ground. AT intervals his shovel
appeared in an upward sweep
and its load of red dirt joined
the thousands of shovelfuls that
had preceded it. He paused in
his labor and said;
'Fraid it amt no use, Mr..
Carl. Use gone down seven
feet already"
"Well, take a few more shots
at it," said Mr., Durham, "and
then Wen go home"
