Mr.. Parks minions in the
press room put one of the Ra-
leigh Times plates on backward
last Saturday, and so, upon open
ing my paper, l was made a
trifle dizzy by finding the edi-
torial page printed upside down.
My dizziness was augmented a
moment later, when | had got
the page turned about, by read
ing that had misused the word
melody in attempting to describe
the sounds made by a cardinal.
The bird in question sat on a
bush outside the window while
| ate breakfast at Mrs. Wilkins
in Goldsboro a few days ago.
$50 far from being a chorist-
er," says the Times, "the cardi-
nal is more like the pest who
imagines himself a singer and
clings to the delusion. His note
is strident and repetitious to an
exasperating degree--a chal-
lenge, a stirrer-up instead of a
lullaby, an invasion instead of a
harmony"
| take all this to be true.
Whatever anybody says to me
about music, if it is said with
assurance, accept, because |
am very nearly tone deaf and am
not qualified to offer any argu-
ment in opposition. The Times
yields to nobody in admiration
of the cardinals appearance,
calling him "a veritable flash of
beauty" and a brilliant fellow"
but holds to it that he is no
singer. Well, so be it. But on
this occasion | was consuming
delicious eggs and sausage that
my hostess had set before me,
and when | am so engaged the
utterances of any kind of bird,
from crow to canary, sound like
melody to me.

TODAY ENDS THE
PERIOD OF FREE
SCHOOL TUITION
Children Outside Chapel Hill
District Must Pay for
Next Three Months
VACATION A WEEK HENCE

The six-months free-tuition
period in the Chapel Hill school
district closes today (Friday).
The tuition fee for the extended
term from now until June, for
children outside the district, is
SIS for the first 6 grades and
$l8 for the higher grades. The
tuition is payable in three in
stallments, the dates of payment
being March %, April Is, and
May 6.
To the parents of the children
outside the district Superinten-
dent Stevens has sent a letter
in which he says: Experience
has shown that a child who
does not attend school the full
nine months has great difficult
ty in keeping up with his grade.
/ hope, therefore, that you will
be able, for your child's good,
to give him the advantage of all
the training which our school
affords"
The school will be closed to-
day on account Of the meeting
of the North Carolina education
al association in Raleigh.
Nearly all of the training school
teachers are on the program of
the meeting, and some Of the
other teachers will attend. The
lost day of instruction will be
made up by the addition of a
day at the end of the term, and
so the closing will be Wednes-
day, June 5, instead of Tuesday,
June a, as hitherto planned.
The regular spring vacation
takes place week hence. The
school will be closed Friday,
March 20, and Monday, April
/, so that the vacation will ex-
tend from Thursday afternoon
to Tuesday morning.
Both the boys and the girls
of the high school are organic
ing baseball teams. The girls
play with what is known as the
playground ball, which is softer
than the regulation article used
by the boys.
The question of money for
the support of athletics in the
school presents a troublesome
problem. In most communities
school games are well attended,
and the admission fees reach a
considerable amount, but here
in Chapel Hill the interest in
University athletics is so over
shadowing that school contests
are neglected.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11s.-Revolu'
t,onary changes are taking place in
the meat business, all the way from
production and feeding Of live stock
down to distribution to the ultimate
consumer. On the one hand. pro.
duction of meat animals is more and
more the business of the small pro-
Queer, who raises live stock as n
means of profitable diversification
and Of fertilizing the soil. II would
seem that in the production and
feeding of live stock, there is a
tendency towards getting away
from so-called mass production in
favor of the idea of 4 few animals
on every farm and ranch.
Net so with the meat business. it
would seem. Important changes are
taking place in the distribution of
meats to the public. We have seen
the advent Of the chain store system,
featuring immense buying power
and often narrow margins Of profit,
to such an extent that many of the
independent retail meat dealers
have been forced out of business.
These chain meat stores have devel
Imperial Valley press., 1929-02-14

towards the gradual elimination of
the small Independent meat dealer,
who with his limited capital. modest
buying power and single location, is
unable to compete with the chain
stores, with large buying power,
adequate finances and volume sales.
Many students of the trade are of
the opinion that electric refrigera-
tion may completely revolutioni2c
the retail meat business, citing the
fact that the corner drug store may
now display attractive cuts of meat
in an electric refrigerator This new
system of retailing meats is already
being tried out in various places.
The meat cuts are prepared at the
packing house and are weighed,
marked and priced and need merely
be wrapped up by the same clerk
who sells the other thousand and one
things in the modern drug store.
Naturally, Americans are proud of
the democratic way business has
been conducted in this country and
many will regret the fact that it
is getting more difficult every day
for 4 young man with limited CAPT
tai to get into business ION his
own Yet there is general feel
ing that we have too many individ-
ual retail shops and that the dit.
ference between what the producer
receives and what the consumer
pays is subject to iustifiable criti-
cism. Probably there are too many
Imperial Valley press., 1929-02-14

retail meat shops without sufficient
volume to pay their way ali trying
to get by at the expense u the con
suming public. II these radical
economic changes in the retailing of
meats will lessen that spread, ~
doubt both the producer and Oh"
public at large VIII benefit.
Undoubtedly the chain stores
have chance to reduce the cost ot
distribution expense where the pub
lie support is ON Il cash and carry
plan. 1t would seem, however that
with sufficient volume, retail mar
kets with the usual sidclines, should
be able to function successfully In
all of these questions, too, there -
one element which can neither be
bought nor sold but which IS vital
to every activity and that IS the
priceless ingredient, honor and in
tegrity, and this is a factor that
must be reckoned with.
There is not much chance of any
one forming combination that
even tends to monopolize our dis
tribution. From past experience, 1t
is safe to say that the public will
do as they think best as to when
and how they supply themselves
with their victuals. Some will do
one thing and some another and
these same ideas, as the fellow says,
are 'what makes horse trades pos
sible. -

teur and others to be caused by or
ganisms. Now for the first time the
study Of disease has passed from the
realm Of theory to the realm Of cstab-
lishcd fact"
Prof. Himmel cited the work Of
scientists who have riddcd the world
Of plague. and compared the modern
scientist to the knights Of old.
THE modern knight Is a rather
prosaic figure he said. HE may be
clad in a laboratory apron, or over
alls. OF a plain business suit. He
bends over cultures in test tubes, dig
ging and digging ever deeper into the
laws Of nature as found In filth and
dirt and diseased tissues. He worships
God by dedicating his life to the
study Of His laws to the end that he
may serve His children. These arc
the men and women who have made
this q cleaner, safer, better world be-
cause they have stopped to conquer"
A nurse is marked by this sense Of
responsibility, he pointed out, and If
she has a great compelling motive. a
love for humanity, she will be cble In
her daily tasks to serve her fellow
