BjOrkman i'm Accident
Asheville Literary Man. on Way Here
Knocked of the Road

On his way to Chapel Hill day
before yesterday, Edwin Biork-
man, author and critic of Ashe-
vile, was knocked off the road
by a left-side driver near Old
Fort, plunged down an embank-
ment, demolished a fence-post
and a barbed-wire fence, and
came to rest in a farmers field
The stranger who had run into
him sped on and disappeared
from the scene.
,fhe~ car, an Essex, was
hauled back to the road after
two hours work by a wrecking
crew from Old Fort. 1t turned
out to be undamaged, and Mr.
Blorkman mounted into the
drivers seat and continued his
way eastward. He is now in
Chapel Hill.
Il was driving very slowly on
the outer side of a sharp curve" "
he said yesterday, when I met
car which was we'll over on my
half of the road. 1t was going
at high speed. ! stayed as near
to the edge as | could, but the
car crashed into my left rear
fender. The blow set me to skid
ding across the wet and slippery
road. | saw that if / tried to
straighten the car out / would
go over the bank sideways, so
steered straight down the bank.
That was what kept me from
turning over"

Decision on County Home Will
Be Deferred until Policy of
New Duke Hospital Is Known

about $4,000 a year for the up
keep of the hospital.
George H. Lawrence, public
welfare officer in Orange, has
had some correspondence with
DR.. W. S. Rankin, who is in
charge of the hospital activities
of the Duke Foundation, about
the aid this county might expect
in a similar undertaking. If the
county appropriated $4,000 for
a hospital the Foundation might
put in $12,500, or perhaps as
much as $25, 900, to supplement
the fund. The exact amount of
the Foundations aid cannot
be ascertained in advance, be-
cause it depends upon the
number of calls from other COM
munities and upon the income
from the Foundations invested
capital.
Taxpayers of the county may
not look with friendly eye upon
the issuance of bonds for a
county home or a hospital. There
are some who think that this
county should join in with others
on the project, if any institu-
tion is to be established; and
another opinion is that it would
be more economical for Orange
to have it's charges cared for in
some already existing home or
hospital, paying per diem rate
for this service. The Chatham
home, which cost $4,000 and is
modern and capacious, has been
mentioned in this connection.
The trouble seems to be, how
ever, that neither Chatham nor
any other county is disposed to
receive the Orange poor and
that there is a considerable
sentiment here against sending
the poor outside of the county to
be cared for.
1t is generally agreed that the
present Orange county home
must be abandoned or replaced
before long, since it is in a de-
plorably rundown condition and
does not provide decent and
healthful Accommodations.

The Orange county govern
ment, which has been consider
ing the question of building a
new county home, will probably
postpone action on this matter
until the policy of the Duke
University hospital has been de-
termined. The hospital will open
next year. If it follows the
practice of hospitals connected
with some of the large medical
schools in other parts of the
country, it may take in many
charity patients, and in that
case poor people from Orange
county may be able to get free
treatment. But it is not yet
known whether the hospitals in
come will be large enough to
permit such course.
A number of the inmates of
every county home are hospital
cases, and the modern idea runs
to a county hospital rather than
to the old-fashioned home.
Some citizens of Orange who
have studied the problem think
it would be mistake for the
county to issue bonds for home
without hospital functions, be-
cause such a procedure leaves
the situation with regard to the
INDECENT sick just where it is
now-or, in fact, worse, since if
money were spent on home it
would become all the more diff
cult to obtain money for the, re-
lief of the sick.
Not long ago the commits
sioners appointed a committee
r. A. Eubanks of Chapel Hill,
c. H. Robertson of Hillsboro,
and John P. Hughes of Cedar
Grove-to investigate and report
on the county home question.
These committeeman, in the
course of their investigation,
visited the Vance county hospital
in Henderson. Here they found
that the county hospital had cost
100000 and that the Duke Fund
contributed 81 a day for every
charity patient, reducing the
county cost to SLIT per patient
per day. The county puts in

TRADERS IN THIS
VILLAGE ESCAPED
LOSSES IN PANIC
Several Owners of Cities Service
Sold When Stock Was Up
at a High Level
BANK WAS NOT AFFECTED

The Chapel Hill citizens who
trade in stocks-most of them,
anyway - suffered no serious
loss in the recent panic. They
got out of the market while the
prices were still fairly high.
Very few of them are traders
in the Wall Street sense of that
word. That is, they do not op-
crate on margin. They buy, out
right, stocks that they think are
good and hold them primarily
for Investment; but sometimes,
when they read in the newspa-
pers that stock prices have had
a big rise, they sell out and reap
a good profit.
The stock of the Cities Ser
vice Company, which. has been
bought extensively in this sec
tion largely because it has been
marketed actively through it's
subsidiary, the Durham Public
Service Company, experienced
one of the worst declines in
Wall Street last week and this
week. 1t dropped from 68 to %
in about fifteen days, most of
the drop coming between last
Thursday and last Tuesday But
many Chapel Hill owners had
sold out on the rise. One mer-
chant here sold his holdings at
sc, only two points from the
peak.
Several men got me to sell
their Cities Service for them
from AZ on up" said M. E. Ho-
gan, cashier of the Bank of
Chapel Hill yesterday, Il don't
think the panic caused losses of
any consequence in Chapel Hill.
Few people here trade on mar
gin. Frequently somebody asks
me to buy for him shares of
this or that stock; but he pays
the entire price and becomes a
full owner. He is prepared to
hold the shares indefinitely, and
market fluctuations do not af-
feet him; but now and then,
when prices go way up, he
sells out and takes a profit"
Mr.. Hogan said that the SELL
ing wave in New York did not
affect the bank here. The Bank
of Chapel Hill did not have any
of it's funds on loan in New
York.

A SUGGESTION TO
THE GOVERNOR OF
NORTH CAROLINA
Let Him Do Tomorrow as the
President Used to Do at the
Army-Navy Game
SOLUTION OF A DILEMMA

Governor o. Max Gardner
finds himself in a dilemma this
week." says a despatch to the
newspapers from Chapel Hill.
He is an alumnus of both the
University and the State Col
lege. Where will his heart be
when he comes to the game here
tomorrow between his two
aIm,ae mGtreS? Which team will
he cheer for?
l suggest that the Governor
do as the President of the
United States does at Army
Navy games. Or, rather as ne
used to do, for the Army and
the Navy, having fallen out
over eligibility rules, are not
meeting each other on the grid
iron now.
The stand on one side of the
field was the Army's, and the
stand on the other side was the
Navy's. The President of the
United States sat on one side
during the first half and on the
other side during the second
half. Many a time | have seen
the Presidential party - the
President, cabinet officers, sew
eral wives and daughters, and
detectives, with a surrounding
fringe of policemen - march
across the field between the
halves, to the playing of a band
and the cheers of the multi
tude.
Such is the program the Gov
ernor should follow tomorrow.
& The cheerers for State will be
in the north stand, which con-
tains the box for distinguished
visitors. Let the Governor sit
in that box during the first half,
march across the field in the in
termission, and sit in the south
stand, with the. University
cheerers, during the second half.
There is no box for distinguished
guests on the south side, but |
know Graduate Manager Wool
len will be happy to create one
by roping off seats for the Gov
ernor and his party.

Season Tickets at a Bargain

Season tickets for the eleven
remaining events arranged by
the University's entertainment
committee may be obtained at
Addison Hibbard's Office, in the
South building, at $2.75. There
are only about 100 tickets left
for sale. The price was origin
ally $500, but a reduction was
made after the performance Of
the Isadora Duncan dancers;
thus the buyers Of season tick
cts still pay only at the rate Of
rs cents for each entertainment.

2 Pieces of Hard Luck
Dog Gets Mrs, K0ch's Supper; Thief
Gets RobertsOn's Flowers

Before Mrs. Koch went to
Raleigh last week with her
niece, Mrs. Mccall, and her
youngest son, Billy, she left di-
rections with the cook for a pal
atable meal that was to be ready
for her when she got back. On
her return she advanced from
the front door to the dining
room, hungrily and happily anti
cipating the meal and expressing
her enthusiasm with some such
exclamation as Yum! Yump'

clear to her son. Fred. "Oh,

WOlfe's Novel Praised
Times Reviewer Thinks That Look
HOmeward, Angel" Is Fine Book

The New York Times pub
fishes a review by Margaret
Wallace praising Tom VOLTS
novel, Look HOmeaOard, Angel,
as "a book of great drive and
vigoT, of profound originality,
of rich and variant color"
Its material is the material
Of everyday life," writes Miss
Wallace, 'its scene is a small
provincial Southern city, it's
characters are the ordinary per-
sons who come and go in our
daily lives. Yet the color of the
book is not borrowed ; it is native
and essential. Mr.. Wolfe has a
very great gift-the ability to
find in simple events and in
humble, unpromising lives the
whole meaning and poetry of
human existence. He reveals to
US facets of observation and
depths of reality hitherto unsus-
pected, but he does so without
Outraging our notions of truth
and order. His revelations do
not startle. We come upon them,
instead, with an almost electric
sense of recognition.
Look H0meWdrd, Angel, is
as interesting and powerful a
book as has ever been made out
of the drab circumstances of
provincial American life. 1t is
at once enormously sensuous, full
of the joy and gusto Of life, and
shrinkingly sensitive, torn with
revulsion and disgust. Mr..
Wolfe's style is sprawling,
fecund, subtly rhythmic and
amazingly vital. He twists
language masterfully to his own
uses, needing neither the decency
of a word nor its licensed exist
ence, so long as he secures his
sought for and instantaneous
effect. Assuredly, this is a book
to be savored slowly and reread,
and the final decision upon it,
in all probability, rests with an
other generation than ours"

washington should get behind these

them away in overlooking measure, give
them the necessary physiological push
up the hill they need to win and in
every way back them up In the hope
that they may establish the National
Capital as the home of group Of fine
golfers. Washington should become

these four men who will take the time
from their own business to go forth In

in every other way"
It was Preston speaking. And he re-
ferred in glowing terms to the gener-
osity of Leoffler who has furnished some
$266 Of his own money to see that at
least two Of the men will have their
expenses paid to St..Louis.
We happen to know that Leoffier gets
nothing from this enterprise. II the
Harding Cup is won by the Washing
ton team. or II the big prize is won by
one Of its members, the cup will not
go to East Potomac Park or Rock Greek

Other cities are in similar plight, and
here in the National Capital the ex-
penseS of two men are guaranteed i'm
mediately by the conceSSionnaire Of the
public courses, who has no obligation,
implied or legal, to contribute q cent
toward the expenses Of the quartet. For
this Preston Is grateful. He is heart and
soul behind public links golf in WASH

be a bigger thing than 1t already Is

the Harding Cup tourney.
So the genial Jim'S remarks anent
Washington and its spirit toward pub
lie links golf are tempered by an at
titude Of thankfulness for the gift al
ready in hand. At the same time Jim
firmly believes that not enough cogni-
zance is being given by the public links
golfers at large, to the generosity of
Leoffler and the lads who will repre-

Sandy Armour of Congressional I'M
covered a remarkable scoring perform
ance over his home course the other
day. In the first place he started
z, 6, on holes whose par is S, 4, 8.
In other words he was S over par for
the first three holes. But he finished
the round with score of II, which is
course. The really remarkable part
comes in the way he played the four
holes starting with the thirteenth and
ending with the sixteenth. He nego-
tiated them all in IS, scoring par
on the short thirteenth, a birdie 3 on
the fourteenth, another birdie on the
fifteenth and a par 8 on the short six
tenth. In ali he had six brides in the
round.
Roland r. Mackenzie must wonder
what it takes to get in the prize list
in an amateur professional contest. We
note that he and his partner finished
sixteenth in a 36-hole best ball contest
at Montauk recently, with a 36-hole
score of 140. The winning score was
125. and the next pair TO the winners
scored 100.

Golfing reactions are curious
things. In a certain situation In a
championship bad hole breaks a
competitor. In another 1t sets
him up. In the last open cham
pionship at Winged Foot, an on
one hole in the last round was
within a single stroke Of winning
for AL Espinosa. while a on an
earlier hole was just as near to
running Bobby Jones, in a COM
Portable lead at the moment.
We have more of the 7 in another

Espinosa had started the last round
four strokes back of Jones and, due
to the latter's at the eighth hole
had gained back two of them at the
turn. But AL did not know Of the

GREAT GOLF FIELD
IN CANADIAN OPEN
DiegeI Facing Hard Road to
Keep Title in Tourney
Starting Today.
BY BRIAN BELL.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Some of the best golfers, pro-
~ fessional and amateur, in the
- United States and Canada,
started out today with Joy in
their hearts to assault par in the Ca
madam open championship.
They thought they had a decided
edge on the old gentleman before the
competition started and on every hand
suggestions were made that par golf
in this case. $50 for the ~ holes
would not be good enough to win. The
Kanawaki course, getting its name from
the Indians it displaced, was not able
to defend itself to any great extent, for
the weather was allied with the enemy.
1t has been hot and dry and golf balls
properly hit roll great distances. It's
long holes impotent, the course will
have to fall back on the short ones, 10
rally round. The bold golfers may find
trouble in plenty at the five one-shot-
ters. ranging from 10 yards at the third
to 240 at the ninth. Some of the teeth
are removed from the ninth however,
by big punch-bowl green, offering an
inviting target for spoon or No. 1 iron.
A great field gathered for the title
event, rich in prestige, but offering only
a nominal monetary award. The Win
ner will get only S400.
At least two strong amateur threats
appeared, George Won Elm and Ross
Somerville, and there may be others
lurking in the shadows. Leo Diegel,
who won the championship for the
third time last year, found his path to
fourth honor disputed by practically
every star pro in the business. Only
AL Espinosa, runner-up in the United
States open, was missing and the Espi-
nosa family was represented by Abe,
Western open champion. Some startling
scores were compiled in the practice
POUNDS, but today was another day when
he figures might reasonably be expected
to mount.
An opening round of 10 holes paved
the way for another 10 tomorrow and
a final SO Saturday after the field of ITO
has been reduced by the first two days
performances.
