BUILDING READY.
SCHOOL TO OPEN
MONDAY MORNING
Heating System Has Been Elk.
panded, and Some Painting
Has Been Done
LIBRARY ROOM PREPARED

In a building that has been
floor-scrubbed, window-washed,
repaired, and in many places
freshly painted, the Chapel Hill
school will open next Monday
morning. All the children are
expected to be in their grade
rooms at $3.50. Five minutes
later, on the call of the bell, they
will assemble in the auditorium
for simple convocation cere-
mony and for announcements.
The registration of the pupils
in the elementary grades will
follow the assembly; but the
high school students, their regis
tration having already been COM
pleted, will 90 directly from the
auditorium to their classes.
All the high school students
who were in school here last
year, and all those from Carr
boro and from out in the
country, are now enrolled. These
number 161. There will be
some later entrants, from new
coming families.
A teachers meeting is called
by Superintendent Hoyle for 9
O'Clock tomorrow Saturday
morning. There will be a
general discussion Of school
problems.
The capacity of the heating
plant has been enlarged during
the summer under the direction
of r. R, Benson. Last year
some OF the rooms cOulu not De
kept warm in cold weather; but
next winter they will be COM
Portable. The Warner-Webster
loW-pressure steam system has
been substituted for the old sys-
tenn. The school authorities
found that the heating could be
made satisfactory without the
installation of a new boiler.
The room in the southeast
corner of the basement is being
made ready for the new library.
The equipment and the books are
to be supplied by the Mary Bay
ley Pratt library association
organized last spring.

Chapel Hill Chaf

When any man writes realis-
tically about the Negro, people
far away often fall into the er-
ror of thinking that he himself
is a member of that race. At
Kanuga recently Collier Cobb
met a distinguished Episcopal
clergyman from the North, and
they got to talking about Chapel
Hill: "Of course" said the pre-
late, Il know that your profess
Sor, Paul Green, is a fulI-blooded
Negro, but hasn't that man
Odum a good deal of white blood
in him. A week or so later Mr..
Cobb quoted the remark to Du-
Bose Hayward, author of POrgy
and other books about Negroes,
and Mr.. Hayward replied: "The
same mistake is often made
about me. When | went to
speak in Buffalo | saw placards
that described me as a member
of a Well-knoWn Negro family
Of Charleston"
To me Deadwood Dick was
always a legendary hero. Was
it in the Frank MerriWell books

in Nick Carter? | don't remem-
ber. | had thought he was dead
long ago-if he ever lived at all,
So | was astonished when
Grover Beard said casually, in
Eubanks' drugstore: Il sat by

Richard William Clarke is the
mans name, but people out there
still call him by his famous
sobriquet. He is 80 years old
and dWells in DeadWood, the
town for which he was named
when he was an Army scout. He
is an honored patriarch and re-
ceives a pension from the coun-
ty. He still wears an old-time
buckskin suit.
Grover Beard went to Rapid
City, South Dakota, as the Uni
versity's representative at the

EXHIBITS
SOME LIVELINESS
BETWEEN TERMS
Professors Return from Vaca-
tiOns, and Newcomers Are
Getting Settled
MUCH NEW CONSTRUCTION

/ The interval between the end
of the Summer School and the
beginning of the fall term is
commonly regarded as Chapel i
Hills dullest season, but the viii
lage is far from deserted. 1t
shows many signs of liveliness.
Faculty members are return
ing from their vacations, and
newcomers are coming in to get
themselves settled in their new
homes. Football practice, which
began Monday, has brought
back two or three score athletes.
The population includes stu
dents who have come to study
for the removal of conditions.
and others who are looking
about for work by which they
can earn part of their expenses
for the next nine months.
Two fraternity houses, the
Phi Delta Theta and the Pi
Kappa Phi on the Pittsboro
highway, are nearly finished;
the Beta Theta Pi house on Col
umbia street is well advanced;
and a beginning has been made
on the Phi Gamma Delta on
Cameron avenue. The T. C..
Thompson contracting firm is
busy reconstructing the interior
Of the former library to convert
it to the uses of the music de-
partment. Several residences
are in the final stage Of con-
struction and will be completed
by the middle of the month.
Laborers are at work leveling
the ground on each side of the
recently paved South road. The
road is to have walks on both
sides, and eventually the un-
slightly red-clay banks are to be
concealed under honeysuckle or
some other greenery.
It IS expected that the UniVer-
sity's enrolment will be at least
equal to that of last year, and
perhaps a little greater. Many
young men who want to enter
are financially embarrassed, and
the Y. M. C. AS self-help bu-
reau is receiving hundreds of
applications for employment.
The University is determined
that no deserving boy, to whom
it can possibly extend help,
shall be turned away for lack of
money. However, the demands
upon the loan funds and for
employment are considerably
greater than the supply, and the
applicants are not encouraged
to come unless they have a
stake sufficient to carry them at
least through the first term.

Back from Chile

Always | enjoy questioning
people who have come back
from remote parts of the earth,
and Payson d. Carter is my
latest victim. He came in last
Sunday, on vacation from San
tiago, Chile. to visit his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. d. Carter.
A toll-line engineer for the
International Telephone and
Telegraph Corporation, he goes
up and down the length of Chile
inspecting the construction of
long-distance telephone lines.
Sometimes he is in the hot, bar
rem nitrate country to the north,
sometimes in the central grape
growing section, sometimes far
to the south where redwood-
forests grow and where, in the
fields and meadows between the
forests, roam vast flocks of
sheep.
He spends about half the time
at the company headquarters in
Santiago, with all the comforts
of a modern city; the other half
the time he is roughing it, on
horseback and on foot, over the
plains and in the widest noun
tain regions. A little while be-
fore he started for home on his
vacation he walked 200 miles to
inspect the poles and wiring on
a single contract.
He shares an apartment-one
Of the few steam-heated apart
ments in the city of half a mil
lion inhabitants-With two of
his former college mates here, |
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Thompson.
(Mrs. Thompson was Miss May
Belle PENN.
For recreation, when he is in
Santiago, he plays golf at the
Prince of Wales club, most Of
whose membership is English.
For eight months of the year
there is no rain, but irrigation
is highly developed. The
groundsman at the club stops up
a few of the bitches that bring
water from the nearby noun
tains, and thus the links are
flooded after a little while the
bitches are unstopped: and on
the same day the turf is ready
for play. If it were not for the
irrigation the grass on the links
would be burned to crisp.
The corporation gave Mr..
Carter leave of three months.
He will report back for duty
November /, and he expects to
be in Chile three more years.
By that time the telephone in
stallations. there will have been
completed and he and the other
engineers of the |. T. & T. will
move on to do the same sort Of
work in some other country.

ARMY : NAVY ROW

Little hope of healing the breach existing be-
tween the United States Military and Naval Acade-
mics, with reference to the proper method of govern
ing football at the respective institutions.
While there is nothing calamitous about the present
state Of affairs 1t is rather parodoXc that the people,
who pay the bills at both institutions, and who recog-
nized the annual Army-Navy football clash as foot
balls epic, denied the privilege of seeing the
test because the schools cannot agree when an
athlete is athlete and when he is something else
again.
For years the Army-N Navy game provided a fitting
climax to the football season. The game held an odd
place in American sports. Because of its colorfuness.
it attracted large crowds including many not directly
connected with the army navy branches of the
vice.
Officials at West Point claim that all cadets enrolled
there shall be treated alike and if a cadet is good
athlete he should be permitted participate in the
particular branch of sport in which he is proficient.
The Army has, in the past played many football stars
it's team, who had acquired football regulations in
other colleges before receiving their appointment to
the Academy. In this way of the players had
much six possibly years of college football.
The Navy holds that is only eligible to three
years of college football and if he has performed that
length of time in other college, he is banned.
should be, from participating with Gnother college
team.
On this difference Of opinion the officials of the two
Academies at oggerheads, and have been for the
past three That the situation is likely to
tinue indefinitely is shown by the failure of the pres
ent effort to bring about agreement between the
two schools.
Take the army mule and the navy goat and you have
a couple of stubborn animals The present situation in
dicates they make mighty good mascots for the two
schools.

Just as he got there the Fox jumped

bit. But Lulu quickly shouted:
"Quick Uncle Wiggily! Pick the

and throw them ut the Fox. The
beans are hard like stones now, and
they'll bang the Fox on the nose"
Before tho bad bean could hide
itself again Uncle Wiggily opened
its pod and threw the hard kernels
at the Fox, hitting him on his nose
so he ran away bowling. And then
Uncle Wiggily gave Lulu and Alice
each Il lollypop. AS for the bean,

UNCLE WIGGJiY AND THE
RAD REAN

Down at the lar end of Uncle
Wiggily's garden, which stretched
back and beyond the hollow stump
bungalow, was large beanstaik'
On the stalk, in sEInmer, grew large
beans of the kind called lima. The
vine itself climbfa up Il pole and
the beans, in thor long, green pods,
hung down from stems.
There was more than one bean
stalk in Uncle Wi2eily's garden, but
this story is only about this special
one.
All through the spring and sum
mer the bcanstaiks had grown from
little tiny baby plants until they
were big, tall ores, climbing TO the
top of poles thrust into the ground
to make something for the vines to
cling to.
"Wiggy," the rabbit gcntlcman's
wife would say - him on a summer
day, "will you please hop out and
pick some lima beans for dinner >
with pleasure. MY love" am
swcrcd Mr. Longelrs who was al

"Perhaps YOU had better take 4

would say, to which Uncle Niggily

POLITICIANS HAMSTRING ARIZONA

Arizonas decision to go to the courts to decide the
constitutonallty of the bill is to be re-
GREETED but only in the light that it may possibly de-
lay actual construction of Boulder Canyon DAM
Few there are, who believe that Arizona has a case
carrying merit and these few are small minority in
the nelghborlng state The government legal experts
at washington went carefully the bill before its
Ina passage and signature by the President and sup
portes of the bill certain that the opinion of these
experts Will be upheld by any court in the land.
According to Earl c. Pound president of the Imper-
la irrigation District, and member of the California
colorado river commission, Arizona's river commits
sloners are willing personally and representatives
OF tnelr state, to to agreement with California
put Arizona politicians blocking the move in order
that political promises made in the last campaign can
be carried out.
This has been obvious in the last one or two confer
ences between commissioners of the three lower basins
states Pound declared
Pound evidently knows whereof he speaks It is an
old game that has been played before sometimes sue
cessfuy and othertimes successfully More and
more the people learning depend upon poll
tlclans, but to do little political thinking for them
selves.
This is borne out in further statement by Pound
that sentiment in Arizona is gradually changing and
adopting the viewpoint that development of the Colo
rado river is vital to the welfare of Arizona and the
Southwest. In time this sentiment will crysalize.
Pound believes to permit agreement being reached.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that before such crystal
zation takes place. the courts will have decided that
Arzonas is and that construction of
the Boulder dan. project is not to be hampered.
