Never Expected to Be Well Again,

Sufferers from stomach distress
will be glad to read letter written
by Mrs. D. NJ. Berbe, 1913 w. Cleve-
land ST, Freeport, Ill, describing
her happy release from years Of
agony. She says:
Il had indigestion awfully bad for
a long time, and it got so severe
hardly dared to eat. The food
would sour and lie in a lump, cauS-
ing gas pains and cramps that tor
tllred me all day and kept me awake
at night. I grew weak and nervous,
and my constant headache was al
most unbearable. At times. I would
be so dizzy I would nearly faint.
All the time I was taking medicines
for constipation, but without i'm
provement. One day I read where
Viuna had brought health in case
lust like mine. so I sent to the drug
store for a bottle. I never before
experienced such quick and blessed
relief. Before that first bottle was
gone, I was a different woman, and
now I am eating hearty meals, with
out one sign of indigestion or gas
trouble. The awful headaches and
dizziness have disappeared, and my
constipation has been conquered.

Greek Play in Stadium
Impressive Performance Of "Agamem-
non" Wednesday Evening

The Kenan stadium. A ba.my
evening under a fine moon. Out
on the green, facing the specta-
tors, the shining white colon
naded portico of Agamemnon,
King of Argos. Far off in the
forest a red beacon light telling
of the fall of Troy. Senators
and women in robes of gor-
geouS color. The majestic
Clytemnestra clad in Grim
son and gold. Agamemnon,
emerging from the distant
shadows and coming slowly
onward in his chariot drawn
by two horses. The cap
tive Cassandra, all in white, her
hair flowing loose over her
shoulders, at first silent, then
furious and raging. Agamem-
non disappears through the
portal of his home, and then
Clytemnestra, and then Cassan-
dra. Shrieks-the death cry
cutting through the evening air.
Clytemnestra reappears upon
the portico holding aloft her
bloody hands and her bloody
sword. The senators and the
women, in panic, flee. Clytem-
nestra and her lover Aegisthus
are left in their triumph.
Such was the scene on We'd
nesday evening. 1t was a beau
tiful spectacle, and the actors
performed with dignity and
power. The setting, the CO.'S
tunes, the drill, the chanting of
the chorus, gave proof of intelli-
gence, zeal, and careful training.
The principal parts were
taken by Preston Farrar (Aga-
memnon), Howard Mumford
Jones (Watchman), Alexander
Byng (Herald), Harold King
(Aegisthus), Elizabeth Farrar
(Clytemnestra). Margaret Fra
ser (Cassandra), and Urban 7.
Holmes (Leader of the Chorus).

Chapel Hill Chaf

Strollers and motorists on
Glenburnie road look down into
the yard of the Steene home and
see a diverting animal scene.
Two white rabbits with enor-
nous ears and shining red
eyes are gamboling about with
a tailless black cat and her
two kittens. Day before yes
terday afternoon | saw one
of the rabbits playfully
chasing the cat along the
zinnias by the wall. The cat is
tailless because she is a Manx
cat. Maxcy L. John of Laurin-
burg gave her to the Steene girls,
Betty and Mary Ann, and when
they asked him why she didn't
have a tail he told them that the
Isle of Man was very cold and
very small, and the cats would
fall off the isle into the water,
and the water was so cold the
tails would drop off.
The cat is appropriately
named Minus. Some time after
she had come to Chapel Hill and
extended her acquaintance here
she had three kittens. Two of
them are living. The gray one,
like the mother, has no tail; the
black one has a long black tail
with a white tip. Their names
are Tiger and White Tip.
The Bransons' grandson,
Branson Smith, likes to have ad-
ventures, not merely for their
own sake but because of the
standing they give him with his
playmates. He lives in New
York, and his tall tales of the
big city have won him high pres
tige among the boys of the
neighborhood. Not long ago his
grandmother took him for a ride
in an airplane, and this was an
other feather in his cap. But
he reached his pinnacle of glory
by being shot through the wind
shield in the recent automobile
accident near Roxboro. None
of his fellows has an experience
to match that.

Long Makes Progress

for Use by August Is

Jack Long, who has the con-
tract from the State Highway
Commission for laying the con-
crete on the South road back of
the campus, part of the new
state highway No. 81, is now put
ting down a stretch about 800
feet long every day. That is,
when the weather permits him to
work. One day his mixing ma
chine covered a distance of 476
feet, but the average for a fair
day is around 800.
1t is expected that all the con-
crete, from the junction with the
Pittsboro highway (No. 75) to
the Country Club road, will be
down by the first of July. 1t
has to be kept covered with wet
dirt for ten days after the lay
ing. When the ten day period
has passed the dirt is thrown
off, the pavement is washed
clean, and the barriers against
traffic are removed. The state
inspector on the job says that,
although "you never can tell how
much delay bad weather will
cause" it is expected that the
road will be in use by August 10.
This stretch behind the cam
pus is part of the new through
east-west route, Joining No. 10

Win on Cities Service
Several Citizens Have Profited from
Rise In Stock.

Several citizens of Chapel Hill
have profted handsomely from
the recent rise in the stock of
the Cities Service Company.
The Durham Public Service
Company, which owns and oper-
ates the ice plant here, is a sub
sidiary of Cities Service, and it
has been instrumental in selling
the stock through this section.
Some of the employees Of the
Chapel Hill ice plant have owned
stock in the company for years
and they have told their friends
about its investment and specu-
lative merits.
Recently the newspapers have
chronicled a steady rise in the
price Of Cities Service on the
New York curb exchange. The
common has gone up from 25 to

First Term Nears End
Examinations Monday and Tuesday
Attendance at the Second Expected
to Be about $50

The first term of the Summer
School approaches it's end. The
final examinations will be held
Monday and Tuesday, and then
hundreds Of students will pour
out of the village and scatter to
their homes in North Carolina
and other states.
Usually the attendance at the
second term is a little more than
half the attendance at the first.
In the last six weeks there have
been 1913 students here, so 1t
is likely that for the next six
there will be around $50.
Among the eight newer dormi-
tories only Grimes will be occu-
pied. The other buildings to be
used as student quarters are
Carr, Old East, Old West,
Steele, Smith (the Graduate

Sides Here on Visit
Former School Superintendent Was
Here for a While Wednesday

l.. r. Sides, former superin-
tendent OF the Chapel Hill
school, was in the village day
before yesterday. He had
brought his family from the
North to News Ferry, Virginia,
for the summer, and he drove
over here to visit some of his
old friends.
Mr.. Sides is musical director
of the Westbury, Long Island,
public school. Out of the 1000
children on the rolls, 160 play
musical instruments. There are
a senior band, a junior band,
and a beginners band. The
senior band won second place in
the New York City interscholas-
tic band competition this year,
being excelled only by the cele-
brated Lincoln school, an en-
dowed institution.
They've got plenty of money
for the school in Westbury,"
says Mr.. Sides, land they don't
mind putting it out, for music or
anything else"
His twins are now four
months old and are in splendid
health.

HIGHWAY EXPERTS
ADVISE OFFICIALS
Chapel Hill Town Manager and
Aldermen COunseled by
State Engineers
sURFACING IS DISCUSSED

The cost This arose like a
spectre at every turn of the con-
versation between John D. Wal
drop and the Chapel Hill Of
ficials in the Town Hall last
Friday afternoon. Mr.. Wal
drop, who is chief engineer of
the State Highway Commission,
came over from Raleigh with
his assistant, J. B. Clingman,
to give Town Manager Foushee
and the aldermen information
and counsel about various meth
DDS of surfacing. Mr.. Clingman
is a road-surfacing expert.
Mr.. Waldrop said that the
state had put down the new sur
face between here and Nelson
for 81 cents a square yard, and
that the second treatment year
hence would add only about 9
cents This is a low figure, es-
pecially when you consider that
a concrete pavement costs about
$3.50 a square yard. But any
figure appears to be high for
Chapel Hill now that the munich
pality is already bonded about
up to the legal limit.
However, it may be that on
some thoroughfares the proper
ty owners will be willing to bear
the entire burden. In no other
way can surfacing be done, for
the aldermen recently adopted a
resolution to the effect that
henceforth no part of the general
tax levy would be spent upon
street Improvements. Clyde Eu-
banks has been interested in the
proposal to surface Cameron
avenue, and it is possible that
owners along the avenue may
join him in petitioning the alder
men to have the work done by
assessment.
The treatment of the road be-
tween here and Nelson, as de-
scribed by the highway commits
sion's chief engineer consists of
a prime coat of cold tar, then a
coat of hot tar, and then an ap-
pEication of stone chips.
Whatever you do" said Mr..
Waldrop, 'be sure you have a
thick, well packed gravel base
before you begin the surfacing
treatment. That is absolutely
essential. Wherever you see a
road of this type giving way it
is not the fault of the surfacing
but of the soft or insufficient
gravel underneath.
"There ought to be at least
four inches of gravel to give the
best results. If there is already
a layer of gravel that is to be

Police Suspect George Henry of
BoOtlegging; Search His Suitcase

George Henry, plodding along
a deserted road in the outskirts
of New York City at two o'clock
in the morning, supperless and
weary, was stopped by two po-
licemen on the suspicion of be-
ing a bootlegger. They made
him open his suitcase and
searched it thoroughly. Find
ing no contraband, they let him
go on his way to the apartment
house where he was to pass the
night with his friend Stratton
Lawrence.
A few minutes later, when he
had reached the apartment
house, he struck a match to look
at the names over the row of
mailboxes in the vestibule. This
was in order to find out which
apartment Stratton was in. AS
he held the flame to the boxes
a watchman came up and asked
gruffly what he was doing.
George told him, but the watch
man was not satisfied. He was
as suspicious as the two police
men had been, with the differ
ence that he thought George
was not a bootlegger but a burg
lar. The man insisted on ac-
companying him to apartment
No. 8 and would not leave until
Stratton Lawrence, awakened
by the ringing of the bell, came
to the door in his pajamas and
identified the guest.
The next day George went on
to Huguenot, New York, where
he is a counsellor in a Y. NJ. c.
A. camp. 1t is in a letter from
the camp to his sister here in
Chapel Hill that he tells the
story of his night in the big'city.

NEW THEATRE TO
OPEN IN DURHAM
City Auditorium Is Made Over
and Will Be a Movie and
Vaudeville House
DON NICHOLS is MANAGER

The City Auditorium in Dur
ham, remodeled, redecorated,
and renamed the Carolina Thea
ire, will open Monday under the
management of Don Nichols as
a combination moving picture
and vaudeville theatre. Movie
ton and vitaphone plays will
dominate the program, but
there will be a liberal sprinkling
of vaudeville and occasionally
a presentation of the old-fash-
ioned spoken drama.
The opening bill will be "The
Fox Follies of 1929"
For years Durham has suf-
fered from the lack of a COM
modious amusement place such
as those in Charlotte, Green's
boro and other North Carolina
cities. The dissatisfaction of
the public, voiced more and more
loudly as time went on, finally
resulted in a contract between
the city government and Mr..
Nichols. He leases the theatre
with the condition that it may
be used a certain number of
nights every year for mass
meetings and other community
purposes.
The place has been so i'm
proved that it is hardly recog-
nizable, except by it's outer
shape, as the old Auditorium.
Walls and ceilings have been re-
painted and are ornamented
with pictures done by a mural
decorator.
The box office has been re-
moved from the lobby and is out
on the sidewalk under a mar
quee. Everything has been ar
ranged for the rapid and easy
movement of the audience. BY
reason of the buildings stand
ing alone, with a large open
space on each side, there are
several ample exits
The total seating capacity of
the house is 1,841.

day, Consisting of talking pic
lures, with some vaudeville,

comedy. The prevailing prices
will be the same as at other
first-cIass houses in the state:
so cents at night, 40 cents in
the afternoon, and special 25-
cent bargain hour from / to 2
o'clock. There will be five per-
formances a day."
