Chapel Hill Chaf

DR.. MacNider went to Boston
this week to attend a meeting of
Psychologists from all over the
world. Two or three. days after
he left Chapel Hill l saw in a
Boston paper an article about
this gathering. 1t was accom-
panied by a photograph of a
group of Chinese medical men
named Lem, Wang, Chow, Nj,
and Tso. Running my eye down
the story, | came upon this SEN
tence; Much interesting work
has been done recently in China
with the transplanting of stOm-
achs, and on this subject many
ideas will be given the con-
gress." DR.. MacNider is an en-
thusiastic gardener. ! have seen
hlm engaged III transplantlng
tamarisk, crepe-myrtle, lilac and
bamboo, and other vegetation.
| hope he will not become so
charmed by the tales of the
Chinese visitors at Boston that
he will come back here and go
to transplanting stomachs.
This tale is good for reading
in a hammock" says Howard
Mumford Jones in a book review,
and then he adds the question:
But are there any hammocks
now?" We hasten to reply Yes.
About 225 yards due west from
the Jones home in Chapel Hill,
in the corner of my yard, a ham,
mock is hung between two cedar
posts under a mulberry tree.
Mr.. Jones often passes within
fifteen feet of it as he proceeds
to and from the University
campus, and sometimes while |
recline in it exchange greetings
with him through the shrubbery.
On occasions | try out here some
of the hammock literature re-
commended by him, and usually
| find his judgments satisfying,
One Of the youngest musicians

two years old and just begin

The other day | saw him walking
along Gimghoul road playing
mouth harp, with his father and
mother following close behind
to prop him up if he fell,

Senlac Literary Colony Balks
Murder by McClamrOch Terrier

cuted it then and there, but at
this moment a fat pullet flut-
tered. over the chicken yard
fence and dropped in the midst
of the scene. This was bigger
game, more worthy of a pedi-
greed terriers ambitions, and he
dropped the fryer and went for
the pullet.
Luther was bearing down
upon him with great strides, and
Mrs. McClamroch advanced men
acingly with her stick, when a
shrill whistle cut through the
clamor. 1t came from the dogs
recent owner, and on the instant
Scotty quit the chase and ran
to Mr.. divers feet.
"You wouldn't hit the dog"
he said to his hostess. Surely
YOU don't want him to fear you. !"
And | don't want my neigh
bors to hate me-" replied Mrs.
McClamroch.
Meanwhile John, the Hib-
bards' heir apparent, was strok-
ing the frightened fryer's
feathers and massaging it's legs.
They thought it might be dead,
but it was only dazed. Together
with the pullet it was placed
safely behind wire. And tran
quillity again enveloped Senlac.
Mr.. McClamroch was away
during the afternoon, and re-
ports of the disturbance, cir
culating about the village, had
come to his ears. And, as is the
way with reports, they had ex-
panded as they travelled. First
he heard that his dog had killed
two of the Hibbard chickens, and
before he got home the number
had grown to four. SO he armed
himself with a checkbook and
proceeded to his neighbor's
house to cancel all liabilities. For,
about to go to Europe, he wants
to quit his native land in an at
mosphere of brotherly love and
goodwill. The Hibbards soothed
him with the information that
the fryer and the pullet were
now III perfect health and
seemed more contented to re-
main in their enclosure than
they had ever been before.

Reserved through 81
Bennett Finds Rooms at Inn Taken
Two Years in Advance

All the rooms at the Carolina
Inn have been reserved not only
for next Thanksgiving, the day
of the Virginia Carolina football
game, but also for Thanksgiving
Day of 1881.
That is the discovery made by
Frank Bennett of Wadesboro
when he called at the Inn Mon
day to ask for a reservation. 81
thought sure three months was
long enough ahead of time to re-
serve a room," he said, "but they
told me couldn't even get one
for two years from now." Mr..
Bennett was graduated from the
University % years ago. He
was one of the great football
players of his day. He was on
the teams of '96, '97, '98, '99,
and 100, and he is said to have
been the only man who ever
played five years of varsity foot
ball here. When he was a stu
dent there were no time-limit
regulations such as now prevail.
With him here Monday was
his son, Frank Bennett, Jr., who
is to enter the University as q
freshman in the fall. He was at
the Fishburne school in Vir-
Rinia for three wears and distin=
guished himself as a baseball
player. Father and son called
at the business office in the
South Building and arranged for
the son to have a room in the
Old East, where the father lived
during part of his student days.

FOSTER PARENTS
ARE SOUGHT FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS
County Welfare Officer Tells of
5 Children Who Are in
Need of Homes
AGES RANGE FROM 3 TO 9

Is there anybody who would
like to adopt a child?
If so, the Orange county
superintendent of public welfare,
George Lawrence, can satisfy
the want. He knows several
orphans who are badly in need
of homes, and he can give COM
plete information about them to
any inquirer. 1t is Mr.. Law
rence's business to go about the
county and investigate cases of
distress among poor people, and
he comes upon many fatherless
and motherless children who are
not being properly cared for.
Through a variety of circum-
stances" he said yesterday,
"children are frequently de-
priyed Of the most fundamental
necessity of healthy and happy
childhood-a home. Here in
our county of Orange | find
many such cases.
"The orphanages are con-
stantly crowded. Mothers Aid
funds are insufficient to meet
the situation, The only child
placing agency in the state, the
Children's Home Society in
Greensboro, has applications
from more orphans than it can
possibly find homes for.
Il think there may be people
who would like to become foster
parents if they knew of chill
dren in need Of homes, and that
is why / am making this public
appeal. Of course we have to
be assured that any child whom
we place goes into wholesome
surroundings and will have the
right sort of care"
At present Mr.. Lawrence
knows of three white children
whom he recommends for adop-
tion: two boys, 6 and 9 years
old, and a girl of 9; and two
Negro girls, 3 and 7 years old.
Persons interested in this
matter may see Mr.. Lawrence at
his office in the Alumni build
ing in Chapel Hill Saturday
mornings or in the court house
in Hillsboro Saturday after
moons.

FIRST EXHIBITION
OF "TALkIES" IS
SET FOR SEPT. 16
installation of New Apparatus
Begins When Theatre
Closes Next Week
PICKWICK OPEN SIX DAYS

The Carolina Theatre will close
Monday for one week. The in
stallation of the apparatus for
sound pictures, better known as
talkies, will begin; the house will
be redecorated; the acoustics
will be perfected; and new noise
less fans will replace the present
fans.
Pictures scheduled for the
Carolina next week will be put
n at the Pickwick instead. There
will be the usual daily program,
afternoon and evening.
The Carolina will reopen with
the usual movie exhibition Mon
day, September 2. The talkies
will be presented for the first
time two weeks later, Monday,
September 16.
I'VE will have the Vitaphone-
Movietone combination" says
E. Darlington Smith, the man.
ager, "the same sight-and-sound
reproducing mechanism that is
installed in the leading motion
picture theatres in the country"
Mr.. Smith says that among
the plays to be presented in the
first few days after the new APP
paratus is installed are the Four
Marks Brothers in "CocUanUtS,
"The Green Murder Case" Hal
Skelley in "The Dance of Life"
"Four Feathers" Ga jungle pic
ture of the same order as the
celebrated "Chang"), "The Vir-
ginian," Joan Crawford in Mod
ern Maidens," and D. w. Grif-
fith's latest production, "She
Goes to War"
The same decorator who was
here before the opening of the
theatre two years ago-Joe
Somebody-or-other, who dolls up
playhouses all over the South
is the man who will be on the
job next week. New lighting
fixtures are included in the re-
decoration plan.
Echo-deadening boards will
be set up at proper places in the
house, in accordance with the
latest developments in the sci
ence of acoustics, SO that the
voices of the characters on the
screen may be heard distinctly
by the audience.

Sound d-Proof Rooms

The conversion of the former
library into quarters for the
University's music department
has confronted the architect and
the contractor with a problem of
a sort which they have not had
to solve in the construction of
any other of the new buildings.
They have had to provide sound
proof rooms so that instru-
mental and vocal music may be
practiced without the students
disturbing one another.
The solution lies in a product
that goes under the trade name
of Cabot's Quilting. This is
made of dried eel-grass enclosed
in paper. AS the name indi-
Gates, when spread flat it looks
like a quilt. For noise-deaden-
ing purposes it is placed in the
partitions.
This grass is found all along
the Atlantic coast. Sometimes
called marine hay" it has
something of the appearance of
straw, but the strands are more
ribbon-like than round. What
gives it its peculiar value in con-
struction is that it contains salts
of iodine and other chemicals
that make it proof against YER
min.
when a Massachusetts house
200 years old was torn down a
few years ago" says Arthur C.
Nash, the University architect,
this dried eel-grass was found
in the walls, and it showed no
signs of damage or deteriora-
ton. AS far as deadening sound
is concerned, the more familiar
straw or hay might do as well,
but it has not the lasting quail
ties of this product"
In the ordinary partition wall
the wood and plaster form a con-
tinuous conveyor by means of
which sound vibrations pass
from one room to another. In
the new partitions in the music
building the upright pieces of
studdlng are staggered so that
they are not in line with each
other; the Cabot's quilting is
wound IN and out between the
uprights and forms an unbroken
barrier. A piece of studding
near one surface of the wall does
not meet a piece near the other
surface. Thus vibrations that
start coursing through the wood
