NEW COURT WILL
CONVENE MONDAY
At First Session Recorder Hin
shaw VIII Conduct Trial of
Liquor Cases
PINK GUTHRIE ON DOCKET

Chapel Hills new tribunal for
the disposition of minor crimi-
nal cases will have it's first
session at $50 Monday morning
on the second floor of the town
hall at Rosemary lane and Col
umbia street. c. P. Hinshaw
will be in the judges chair, and
B. D. Sawyer will be the prose-
cutor. Both these officials were
appointed recently by the board
of aldermen.
1t looks as if Pink Guthrie
may have the distinction of be-
ing the first defendant. He has
been in court many times on
charges of drunkenness, and his
old failing brought him into ar
rest again this week.
Five other persons are booked
for trial, and there may be more
by Monday. Against two the
charge is drunkenness, against
two it is illegal possession of
liquor, and against one it is as
sault.
Mr.. Hinshaw has been en-
gagged for several days in max
ing his plans for the conduct of
the new court. He has made a
thorough review of the laws
bearing upon the powers, the
limitations, and the procedure
of courts of this character; he
has determined what records it
is necessary to keep; and he has
studied the Chapel Hill police
records with a view to estimat-
ing how frequently sessions will
be required and how long they
will last. His present intention
is to have a session every Mon
day morning, beginning at 9:30.
The sessions can be made more
frequent if necessary, and Mr..
Hinshaw expects to hold court
at unscheduled times whenever
an emergency demands.
The jurisdiction of the court
rs tffrrffftted1 fffrrffffite to misdden1ear10rs.
Most criminal offenses commit
ted in Chapel Hill are of that
class, and the number of ac-
cused persons and of witnesses
who have to go to the superior
court in Hillsboro will be great
ly reduced. The fines imposed
by the recorders court are ex-
pected to yield considerable net
revenue to the municipality.

Chapel Hill Chaf

l.. r. Wilson has a beautiful
Venus statue at his office door,
convenient to the view going in
and coming out. A question that
stirs my interest is: Has he ar
ranged to have it similarly we'll
placed by his door in the new
library?
A storm had come up. Young
Bob Houses mother told him
he'd better not go out to play
he might get struck by light
ming. Would it hurt me?" he
asked. Il reckon not" she said,
you'd never know it hit you"
The boy opened the front door
and went out into the storm,
replying as he went: "Then l
haven't got anything to worry
about"
l read with a skeptical eye
pious homilies about the bless
ing of not having much money.
But sometimes, after all, there
do turn out to be compensations.
My financial standing was held
in such low esteem that nobody
ever even suggested to me that

Observed in Virginia

On this latest trip through
Virginia | was again impressed
by the pious exhortations and
warnings poster along the state
highways. Death Is on Your
Track" was the one saw often
est-a particularly appropriate
reminder in view of the habit
of speeding. Again my friend
DR.. Hall of Richmond told me of
the Petersburg barber whose
hobby and delight it is to put
up these signs. A few months
ago somebody made complaint
about them to the chairman of
the Virginia Highway Commits
sion, but that official had to re-
ply that his jurisdiction was
limited to the public right of
way and that whoever put up
the signs had been careful al
ways to put them up on private
property.
remarked some queer se-
quences. Nailed to a pine tree
was a board with the legend,
Where Will You Be in Eter-
nity?" A few yards further on
there flashed upon my view, as
if in reply to this question, a
billboard reading: Henry Clay
Hotel, Ashland, Virginia" And
the challenge, What about
Eternity?", was answered by an
adfver ttiisernerrtt, IN etfor enormous, f1fo6tH1ss,
letters: Chicken Dinners.
This came toward the end of a
long and tiring drive, and it
made me feel considerably more
cheerful about eternity.

operation on Nancy
DIR. Mangum's Police Dog under Sur
geOn's Knife in Sanford

Nancy, DIR. Mangum's hand
some police dog, was taken i'll
recently. He made inquiries
about dog hospitals and dog
doctors, and the result of them
was that he took his pet to
Meals Veterinary Hospital in
Sanford. 1t is kept by a brother
of W. b. Neal of Chapel Hill and
has a reputation in many states.
While he was on the street in
Sanford DR.. Mangum met a
former pupil Of his, DR.. Ludlow.
When this young surgeon heard
that Nancy was to have an
operation he asked the privilege
of assisting at it, and so he was
present when the dog went under
the knife.
1t was found that she had
kidney trouble. After several
days in the hospital she was
brought back to Chapel Hill and
placed under observation by a
kidney expert of international
fame, DR.. William de B. Mac
Nider. She is getting better.

ACACIA ALLOWED
TO BUILD in THE
RESIDENCE ZONE
Board of Adjustment Votes to
Permit Modification of the
Restrictive Ordinance
LOT MUST NOT BE SPLIT

The board of adjustment, Gre
ated under the building zone
ordinance to pass upon applica-
tiOns for the modification of that
measure, voted Monday evening
to permit the Acacia fraternity
(the student branch of the Ma
sonic order) to put up a new
house on it's lot at the corner of
Franklin and Boundary streets
near the east end of the village.
The board laid down the condi-
tion, however, that the frater-
nifty should not split up its lot
and sell part of it for the erec-
ton of another building. J. o.
Harmon, representing the Aca-
cia at the hearing, agreed to
this.
The ZOning provisions forbid
the erection Of fraternity houses
in zone No. l, which includes
the residential district in the
eastern part of the village; but
the Acacia had it's present house
and was occupying it two years
before the ordinance was enact
ed. This occupancy, since it
predated the ordinance, could
continue indefinitely, and so the
practical question before the
board Monday evening was:
Since Acacia had the right to
continue to occupy its present
house, was there any good rea-
son why it should not have a
better house on the same lot?
The board decided there was not.
1t is to consider special cases
like this, where compliance with
the strict letter of the law might
work an injustice, that the
board of adjustment was Gre
ated. Section Is empowers the
board to vary any requirement
of this ordinance in harmony
with its general purpose and in
tent, 50 that hat subs tan tiaf Justice
may be done. This authority
shall be exercised solely in in
stances where there are practi-
cal difficulties or unnecessary
hardships in the way of carry
ing out the strict letter of the
ordinance, and shall be exercised
in a manner to secure the pub
lie health, safety, and general
welfare"
The board does not consider
that its approval of the Acacia's
application sets a precedent for
allowing a fraternity to build a
house, in a forbidden zone,
where no fraternity houses have
been before.

SEEKS RULING
On APPLES

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, May %.
No effort to establish new grades
for West Virginia apples, indie
pendently of the Federal classifi-
cations, will be made until a ruling
can be obtained from the States
attorney general on the unofficial
impression that the law does not
compel packaged fruit to bear any
outside labelling. II this construc.
tion is correct, the growers concede
they will require no additional
classifications.
The decision was made at a con.
ference of state officials and fruit
growers after public meeting at
which growers had expressed a
desire for two new grades which
would permit them to market fruit
at present excluded except under an
"unclassified" label, which the
growers declare is harmful to sale
of their products.
The committee is composed Of the
following:
Commissioner of Agriculture J. H.
Smith; Assistant Commissioner of
c.. II. Hartley; Ed
Leatherman, Rada, president West
Virginia Horticultural Society; H.
w. Miller, Paw Paw: Cecil W.
Wood, Hedgesville; Malcolm M.

During recess yesterday, one Of
Carolyn's playmates at the Fair
land school offered her what ap-
peared to be a delightful bit of
confectionery. She, accepted the
gift with thanks and then proceeded
to swallow 1t.
Whereupon Carolyn became sud
denly very sick. Discreet question
ing revealed the alarming fact that
the child had been given a tablet
which is widely known as a remedy
for sick chicks-prettily colored and
all that--but never recommended as
a tidbit for discriminating female
taste.
Carolyn's teachers gave her first.
aid and rushed her to the Mont
gomery County General Hospital,
where DR.. c. C. Tumbleson gave
medical attention. The poultry
remedy is not a deadly poison and
the girl is now recovering.
