Coin Operated Phono-
graph.

An instrument that has earned q
reputation as a proft-maker and
trade-builder for retail merchants
is the Electramuse-the coin-oper-
ated, automatic phonograph made
by the Holcomb g. Hoke Manufac-
turing Company Of Indianapolis.
Restaurants and cafes, confec-
tionery stores, drug stores, hotels,
billiard parlors, bowling alleys, and
other amusement places-dance
halls. clubs, lodges, and similar
places-haye found the Electramuse
ideally suited for their use.
The Electramuse provides music
Of the right sort-economically.
The moment a coin is deposited,
either in the instrument itself or IN
wall-boxes provided for that pur-
pose and located at tables distant
from the Electramuse, it begins to
play. The music is clear-brilliant
-full-toned.
Made in Four Models
The Electramuse is made in four
models: The Super-Tone, COL
orful, illuminated, attention attract
ing instrument, designed primarily
for retail establishments; the Club
model, a beautiful walnut cabinet
instrument, especially suited for use
in fine clubs and homes; the Audi
forum model, similar to the Club,
but with a larger tone volume, for
use in large halls and auditoriums,
as the name implies, and the Park
model. designed for use for the
broadcasting of music and an
nouncements at parks, openair
amphitheaters, sporting areans, etc.
This Park model was used most
successfully at the recent 500mile
race at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway.
There is a background of success

vONNECUT FIRM
CARRIES $4,000
ITEMS IN STORE
Able to Serve Factories
With All Kinds of
Mill Supplies.

Many manufacturers have been
saved long, costly waits for mill
supplies through availability of the
large stock carried by the Vonne-
gut Hardware Company, 100 East
Washington street.
The company has supplied fac
tories with mill supplies, such as
drills, wire and manila rope, nails,
bolts, nuts and cutters since its
establishment in 1852. Shortly
after it's start it employed one sales
man to travel the entire state. Now
the company has twenty statesmen
covering the city, state and ad-
joining states, calling on the trade
and factories.
Many manufacturers buy all their
supplies from the Vonnegut COM
pany in order to warrant the firm
in carrying its large stock of emer-
gencies.
Carries $4,000 Items.
The distributor of mill supplies
is essential to manufacturers be-
cause he is able to supply emer-
gency requirements without waiting
for shipments from distant manu-
facturers; he performs a necessary
warehousing service for manufac-
turer and consumer, and he con-
stantly is subjecting new products
to the closest scrutiny to determine
intelligently their adaptability to the
industrial community he serves.
A general catalogue containing
$4,000 items carried in stock by the
company at all times is furnished
to the trade.
Manufactures Devices.
In addition TO the wholesale bust
ness, representing approximately rs
per cent of the firms business VOL
ume, the company has large re-
tail hardware store.
It also manufactures and sells
panic devices for doors. These de-
vices, known as the Won Duprin
fire exit latch, or panic bolt, are
used largely on schools and other
public buildings.

Fire Protection for the Suburbs
Remains Troublesome Problem

When James Cheshire, the Ra-
leigh insurance man, was here
the other day, we were talking
about the lack of fire protection
for the people who live on the
outskirts of Chapel Hill. The
services of the towns fire COM
pany are not available to these
people because the company
won't go beyond the corporate
limits.
''In Raleigh, said Mr.. Chesh-
ire, this problem is solved by
an arrangement whereby the
city government makes a charge
when the fire department
answers a call from outside the
limits. Take my case for ex-
ample. | live just outside, and
fortunately I'm near Oh of the
city's hydrants. If my house
should catch fire and | sent in an
alarm, the company would come
and fight the fire; and then |
would get a bill for $25. If it
turned out that it was a bad fire
and the company had to do lot
of work, the bill would be larger.
Il would rather be inside the
limits, and when proposal was
made to extend the limits in such
way that my home was not in
cluded | asked that the map be
amended so as to bring me in.
If the matter comes up again |
am going to renew this request" l"
But a city of the size of Ra-
leigh has several fire engines
and crews, so that if one crew
goes outside the limits there are
others in reserve to answer
alarms inside. The point is
made that if Chapel Hill, with
its limited equipment and per-
sonnel, let its fire company go
outside, the town itself, which
bears the expense Of the depart
ment, would be left unprotected.
Whatever one may think Of
the rule against the company's

Among the Visitors

The celebrated urbanity of
Jones Fuller, the Durham attor-
ney, was put to a severe test at
the Virginia-C Carolina game, but
came through with its reputa-
tion unimpaired. Seated immedi-
ately in front of him was Miss
Catherine Erwin of Morganton
and Richmond. She was so ex-
cited, not merely by the game but
by the numerous alterations
among the superheated speeta-
tors roundabout, that she was
continually, and unconsciously,
rising to her feet and obscuring
the arena from Mr.. Fuller's
view. Cheshire Webb of Hills
boro egged her on by pointing
out to her new fights which she
might never have seen unless he
had served as her lookout man.
Mr.. Fuller peered first on one
side of her and then on the other,
thus now and then getting a fair
glimpse of the players on the
field True, he might have
risen also and looked over her
head, He is not old; yet he is
no longer young and timber
enough to enjoy moving up and
down, from a sitting to a stand
ing position and back again, at
even so stirring a spectacle as a
football game. SO he continued
to do the best he could to see

have two bits of advice to of
fer the suburbanites. First,
that they send a delegation to
the board of aldermen, at its
next meeting, to discuss the
problem and work out some CO.
operative plan that will prevent
another such calamity as the
destruction of the Fields house
on the Pittsboro highway two
weeks ago. Second, that any
suburbanite who finds his house
afire telephone not only the fire
department but also Mayor
Council or Aldermen p. L.
Burch, or, if neither of these
two can be reached, one of the
other aldermen. (The other
members of the board are Clyde
Eubanks, G.. Nj. Braune, B. S.
Thompson, X. d. w. Connor, and
NJ. E. Hogan). An order from
higher authority" may suspend
the rule and prevent the loss of
property and possibly the loss of
life.
Most of those who saw the fire
at the Fields house think a few
sprays from a chemical ex-
tinguisher, handled by trained
men, would have put an end to
the blaze before it got beyond the
basement. When the firemen
reached the town limits, about
600 yards from the house. they
turned back on the order Of the
chief. For ten or fifteen
minutes after that the fire was
at a stage where it could easily
have been put out.
Ultimately, no doubt, the town
limits will be extended to take in
the more thickly settled outlying
sections. But that must neces-
sarily be delayed. The legisla-

Mrs. Otto Stuhlman is chair
man of the committee, and she

The campaign against tuber-

cases in Chapel Hill by rs per
cent. in eight years, thus rails

CAROLINA MEETS
DUKE TOMORROW
University of North Carolina Is
Booked to Win, But May
Have Stiff Opposition
SOME PLAYERS DISABLED

The football teams of the
University of North Carolina
and Duke University will meet
in the Duke stadium at two
o'clock tomorrow Saturday
afternoon.
Even the most expert judges
cannot be trusted as football
forecasters but, if comparative
scores mean anything at all,
Carolina is practically certain to
win. Davidson won from Duke
on Thanksgiving day after hav-
ing lost to Carolina IL days be-
fore by a margin of three touch
downs; and State College, after
being overwhelmed by Carolina,
30 to 0, scored two touchdowns
against Dukes three.
Dukes season has been pc
culiarly unfortunate. The Pitts
burgh eleven, one of the strong
est in the whole country, came
down in early October and de-
feated the Blue Devils by a
whopping score, and then there
were defeats at the hands of
three other formidable Northern
teams. Such an experience was
anything but inspiriting. The
general opinion is that Duke had
a badly arranged schedule.
In the midst Of the season
Jankoski, one of the stars, left
the squad after some unpleas-
antness the exact nature Of
which has not been disclosed. A
few days ago Taylor, the big
guard, one of the strongest men
in the line, had his knee severe
ly twisted; but the latest ad-
vices are that he will play in
tomorroW's game. Captain
Kistler, who was kept out Of the
Davidson game by an injury, is
expected to play tomorrow, but
he has been limping all the week
and is not in really good con-
dition.

couragements, Duke faces Caro-
lima with determination and
high spirit. 1t has some splen-

Mysterious Stranger Fails to swindIe Registrar

Somebody called T. ]. Wilson,
Jr., University registrar, on the
telephone from Washington, d.

and told him that his son Pete
was i'll and needed $50 by tele-
graph at once. 'My name is

caller. 'Tm a friend of Pete's
and he asks that you send the
money to me-" And he gave his
address.
Mr.. Wilson's suspicious we're
aroused. He had never heard of
William H. Williams. Also, he
didn't see why Pete, who is in
the Reynolds Tobacco Company
office in Washington, should be
in such urgent need of $50.
While he was puzzling about
this another telephone message
came from the same man. This
time he said the money was to

be sent to Pete's address, but in
his WiIliams'-name.
The registrar despatched the
money but he sent with it an
Identification that would make it
safe, The mysterious Williams
did not get it.
Pete wrote later that he
thought the would-be swindler
might have been g Negro who
claimed acquaintance with him
recently and found out his
fathers name. But the voice
over the phone did not sound like
a Negro's.
The telephone charges were
reversed, and Mr.. Wilson accept
ed them because he did not want
to run the risk of refusing a
genuine message from his son.
He saved the $50 by his caution,
but he is out the telephone tolls.
