Students May Establish Daily

The students of the Universi-
ty of North Carolina are consid-
ering the conversion of the pres
ent tri-weekly paper, the Tar
Heel, into a daily. There will
be vote on the proposition next
Thursday.
For a week or so a lively dis
cussion of the project has been
in progress in the "open forum"
columns of the Tar Heel. There
are expressions both for and
against, but it appears that the
balance tips in favor of the daily.
The plan involves no increase in
the publications fee which the
students pay at the beginning of
every quarter.
A member of the Joint faculty
and student committee which
made a report approving the en-
terprise describes the scheme as
follows:
THE proposed makeup of
the daily Tar Heel staff is as fol-
lows: There will be one editor
in-chief, with four or five associ-
ate editors. 1t will be the duty
of these men to conduct the edi-
torial policy of the paper, giving
time to research and study of
the subject under consideration,
consequently giving the campus
a better editorial page. One
managing editor will have

From the Presidents House
to the nearest entrance of the

come; but he saw it again many
hours later and upon inquiry
found out its loss had been re-

ENTERTAINMENTS
ADDED TO LIST:
QUARTET TONIGHT
New Plan Inaugurated by Uni
versity Gives Community
Many Good Shows
50 FOR A SEASON TICKET

A performance by the Flon-
zaley Quartet this (Friday) eve
ming in Memorial hall is an e.
vent added to the years pro-
gram of the University's enter
tainment committee. All hold
ers Of season tickets are entitled
to attend this; to others the
price of admission is $1.50.
The establishment of the en-
tertainment committee has given
the people of Chapel Hill such
an opportunity as they have
never had before to enjoy music
and lectures and dancing. The
season ticket for the present
college year, which cost So,
covers attractions the tickets
for which would cost, on the or
dinary single-performance basis,
around 500.
The universal student fee ex-
plains why this great reduction
is possible. Every student in
the liberal arts college, and
every other student who so de-
Sires, pays an entertainment fee
Of 81 a quarter, or SO a year.
This modest levy, added to the
University's customary lecture
fund and the proceeds from the
sale Of season tickets to faculty
members and other citizens of
the village, gives the committee
budget of $500 for the year
and enables it to bring here per-
formers of the highest rank.
In a notice issued this week
from the office of the chairman,
Addison Hibbard, students and
others are invited to offer criti-
cisms or suggestions about this
years program and suggestions
for next years.
This years program embraces
nine events. Those already

PREPARING FOR A
VOTE OF PEOPLE
ON SCHOOL BONDS
Proposal Is for an Issue /Of
$4,000. Election Probably
in March or April
NO TAX INCREASE NEEDED

After the passage of an en-
abling act through the legisla-
ture, the people of Chapel Hill
will vote on the question of a
school bond issue of $4,000.
The election will probably be
held in March or April.
Half the bonds are to be used
for funding deficit that arose
from additions to the school
buildings and an extension of
the grounds, and half for fund
ing a deficit that arose frcm the
over-appropriation of current
expense fund.
A hundred citizens endorsed
a note of the school board last
fall in order to take up the
boards note at the bank and to
obtain enough additional money
to pay the arrears in teachers
salaries. This temporary fl
nancing, in anticipation of a
bond issue, was supplemented
by a loan of $4,000 from the
states literary fund"
The condition of the schools
finances is now such that it is
almost certain that the carrying
charges on the new bonds in
terest. and installments on
principal-can be met without
any increase in the present tax
for school bonds. At the end of
December the school had an un-
expended balance of $3.50 be-
sides a contingencies reserve of
1900, and the board, having
kept we'll within the budget, ex-
poets to end the year with a sur
plus of $4,000. For the first
time in its history the school has
money in the bank on which it
is drawing interest; its certifi-
Gates of dennsit a1 the harinnainp
of February amount to $4,000.
The income for debt service
from the town and the county
this year is $3.50, and the ex-
listing bond issues call for $3.50
in interest and installments. 1t
is planned to add the debt service
account surplus of $1,000 to the
sinking fund for the 1915 bond
issue of $4,000; and L. B. Ro-
gerson and his accountants

Love-MalSing Added to
Arts Lost to Mankind

Love making is fast becoming q
lost art. II is being practiced with
about as much enthusiasm as a hun
CRY man pOunces upon charlotte
russo; with as much finesse as a
butcher carves a steak" says Paul
Mirand, author.
Love, the sublime passion, the most
intense, absorbing and tender of all
the emotions is, as a result, in danger
of dying slow, reluctant death.
ut is a great tragedy, but we must
face it. We have neither the time
nor the place for lOve-making. Love
making requires leisure and an APP
propriate setting, and in this modern
day we have neither. It is true that
lOve-a fundamental emotion of man
kind-can never exactly be done to
death. Men and women will always
fall inland Out-of love; but it Is
regrettable that love, so divine, and
love-making, so delightful, should be-
come such negligible quantities in our
daily lives.
"Love-making once used to be a
great art-one which was conducted
with artistry, talent, skill and flnesse.
Today not only men, but women also,
are too busy making money to take
time to make love-"

The word superstition" is derived
from the Latin "superstitio," excessive
religious belief, possibly originally a
standing over thing in amazement or
awe; from "superstare," to stand above
or over. Superstition is closely allied
with the so-calIed chronological phenom-
ena known as surviyas. Among the
ancient peoples-as, for instance, the
Assyrians-it was part of the official
state religion to prophesy concerning
the future from the flight of birds, the
nature of dreams and similar occur
rences, and where such customs and
the correlated beliefs persist they may
be regarded as survivals. Among them,
perhaps the most persistent in the
country districts is the belief in ghosts
and I'm the influence of the moon. In
parts of Europe the effects of the "evil
eye" are still feared, Willie in the
United States the horseshoe, caul,
fOur-leaf clover, etc, are still regarded
as emblems of good luck.

Daddy Stork the Victim
of eternal Triangle"

Fratrlcide is not uncommon in the
snake world. Snake will eat snake,
and very often does; but it must be
said in justification that snake must
be very hungry and see no prospect of
food at all before he will deliberately
set out to cut his brother. Some
snakes, however, loathe those of other
species and kill them on sight.
German naturalists have observed
the murderous passion in some birds,
especially storks. One celebrated nat
uralist tells of a stork triangle trag-
edy" enacted on a high chimney pot.
While the male mate was away a
younger and handsomer bird came to
woo the lady. She first repulsed, then
tolerated, then succumbed to his bland
ishments. Then, when the old hus
band was out frog hunting one day,
the guilty pair flew to his marsh and
belabOred him to death.

Reveals Simple Method
of "Invisible" Writing

An ex-convict who spent Is terms
in prison, recently visited the office of
the London Daily Chronicle, and left a
letter purporting to reveal Sc ret
method of invisible writing by means
Of which prisoners were able to com
municate with friends outside. In the
letter he claims that this was the
method employed by two prisoners
who committed suicide, when, as stated
at the time, they were able to send
a request to friends to forward them
poisoned sandwiches under the sys-
TEN which enables prisoners on re.
mand to receive food from outside.
The letter continues: "In this letter
is the method under which they sent
out their messages. Can you find it?"
The explanation and test of the trick
were finally volunteered. In the blank
spaces of the letter the ex-convict had
penned an invisible message by dip
ping the pen nib in his mouth and
writing with saliva. Lightly done, this
cannot be seen by the naked eye. To
reveal the writing all that had to be
done is to rub ordinary ink over the
blank space, blot in quickly and the
invisible words stand out like ordinary
penmanship.

Highest Sense of Duty
in doing Unto Others"


Men talk much of duty, but chiefly
spend the most of their lives in efforts
TO evade its full obligations as ideally
expressed through the ages.
Tennyson says: "Sweet ii Is to
have done the thing one ought"
To appreciate and realize this sweet
ness is the reward of duty. Some
times it is hard TO do the thing we
/. ought to do, but conscious satisfac-
tion invariably soOthes the soul that
has been true to itself.
Duty is protean in aspect, but there
is never possibility that one will fail
to recognize it in any expression, in
any manifestation. There can be no
mistake. 1t speaks various language.
but we inevitably understand.
The thing we ought to do makes for
spiritual growth and development al.
ways. We may evade, refuse to do
our duty, but in so doing we invite
suffering and loss of spiritual stature
and estate.
To do unto others as we would that
they should do unto us is duty in the
highest sense If men would but live
this simple rule all our problems would
be soon solved and the world be very
glad.-Cincinnau Enquirer.
