Washington Letter
BY HERBERT @. PIuMslER

WASHINGTON. May 16.-Spike-a famous polo
pony and the favorite mount Of General Pershing-
held the spotlight at one Of washington's smartest
balls the other night.
From a loose box at the end Of the lcng ballrcSm
Spike surveyed the scene. All during the evening he
submitted somewhat bored. to being petted and fed
sugar by the gay crowd.
The occasion was the polo ball. Spike and another
famous polo pony. Hunter. were the honor guests.
Both Of the horses saw service In France during
the world war. Spike has been retired from further
service at the age Of rs. But Hunter at Is still IS
going strong.
A mock polo game was the feature Of the evening.
While the game was in progress all traces of boredom
disappeared from the two horses. They watched e-
cry move with keen attention and quivered with e-
element al every sound Of the referees whistle.
BALLOON BUSINESS
If ne Is In the right mood. Col. Angel Maria Zu-
|loaga, the military attache Of the Argentine embassy.
can fairly take your breath away with the story Of
how he once risked his life in a balloon flight across
the Andes.
Meteorologists in Argentina and Chile we're map
ping air currents. There was a dispute as to whether
the high altitude winds over the Andes blew east or
west.
zuloaga and a companion volunteered to find out.
They would 60 up in a balloon at Santiago on the
west coast OF Chile and let themselves be floated by
the high altitude winds. 1t was suicide If the west
TO east theory was wrong.
Five miles up they we're blown by a 65-mile gale
across the peaks OF the Andes. Their point was
proven.
They successfully made a dangerous landing on a
precipitous mountain and were reached. hours later
by a rescue party from below.
Not since that time has a balloon made the same
perilous trip across the worlds second highest noun
tain range.

Fire at Jordan Home
Blaze That Started in Attic Does
Damage of about $4,000

The w. P. Jordan home on
Henderson street took fire Sum
day afternoon, and before the
flames were put out the roof
and upper floor, and the plaster
on the lower floor, had been
damaged to the extent of about
$4,000.
The fire started in the attic,
but nobody knows how. A de-
feet in the flue was suggested
as a possible explanation, but
the chimneys were lined with
terra Gotta of the sort required
by the strictest insurance regu-
lations, and Mr.. Jordan does
not think that could have been
the cause. Another theory is
that the trouble began with a
short circuit in the electric wir-
ing.
Student lodgers on the upper
floor heard cracking sound in
the attic overhead. They
thought little of it at first, but
at last, suspecting fire, they ran
out into the yard, looked up, and
saw the flames were eating up
ward through the roof.
An alarm was turned in, and
the fire company responded
promptly. A large crowd gath
cred, and neighbors and stu
dents carried the furniture from
the burning house. All the
more valuable furniture was
saved. Streams of water, di-
rected first through the upper
and then upon the roof,
brought the fire under control
in about half an hour.

ALDERMEN TRYING
TO STOP THEFTS
Seek Cooperation of University
In Providing Better Pro-
lection at Night
GOOCH's ROBBED OF $l2s

The aldermen are trying to
work out a plan of cooperation
with the University looking to
better police protection for the
community at night. Interest
in the plan is heightened by the
reports of robberies this week.
By the use of a skeleton key
somebody got into Gooch's Cafe
through the back door Monday
night, walked to the front of the
place, and took about $125 from
the cash drawer within two
feet of the street window. The
next night the school cafeteria
was robbed of lard, flour, sugar,
canned goods, and fresh meat
to the value of around $50.
Clothing and watches have
been stolen recently from the
students in Steele dormitory.
One night in the Christmas
holidays a fraternity house on
West Franklin street was en-
tered and several suits of clothes
and a shot gun were taken away.
The town has only two police
officers: Chief Riggsbee and
Patrolman Wright. The chief
is on duty in the daytime; the
patrolman goes on duty at II P.
M. and stays on until IL A. M.
He goes back and forth through
the business district, keeping
watch and trying doors.
1t seems certain that the job
at Gooch's was done by a per-
son familiar with the place; ne
knew the only door he could get
through with a skeleton key,
and he knew how to obtain the
money and make a quick get
away.
The presence Of many unem-
ployed workmen in and around
the village may explain the
thefts of food and clothing. T.
c. Thompson and Bros, the
contractors, have closed their
camp; the town government
has cut down it's force; and Jack
Long has dropped many of the
men he had on curb-and-gutter
work.

About the Weather

Charles E. Ray, assistant to
Thorndike- Saville in the divi-
sion of water resources of the
state Department of conserva-
ton and development, has the
Chapel Hill weather bureau
under his charge, and he is good
enough to send ME a report of
the temperature and rainfall for
every month.
| find myself often thinking
of Mr.. Ray as personally respon-
sible for the weather in this viii
lage-not merely as taking the
readings of the thermometers
and other recording apparatus
but as producing the heat, cold,
winds, rain, snow, moisture, and
ardity which make the apparatus
tell what it does tell. If it hap
pens to be bright and balmy
when l get the report through
the mail, ! have Mr.. Ray in my
minds eye as an amiable and
smiling person; if it is cloudy,
he is sombre and crotchety; if
it is a positively lowdown, rotten
day, with rain falling and a cold
wind blowing, picture him as
a sinister figure, one moment
sullen and glowering, the next
giving vent to fiendish laughter
as he contemplates the punish
ment he is inflicting upon his
fellow citizens.
In my opinion he did badly by
us in the month of January. On
only two days did the mercury
go as high as 70 and on only
eight more as high as 60. There
were eleven days when the maxi
mum temperature was not above

fee and 81 for a years subscrip-
ton to Boys Life, the official

A first-aid demonstration will

A Boy Scout window display

merIy Foister's) next to the
Methodist church. 1t will be a
typical scout camp scene.
During the week the Scouts
will be in uniform and will be
at the service of charitable or
community organizations as
messenger boys or for other
duties. Emphasis is to be given
to the fact that the Scouts are
taught to "do a good turn daily"
One of the numbers on the
program of the Court of Honor

dramatization of the significance

By an exchange with w. C.

Three separate plots are to be
conveyed to the club: (1) the

for its 5th hole; (2) a stretch

Urged to Save Grass
Gray Pleads for Protection Of Lawns
at q Chapel Talk

Mac Gray, Y.M.C.A. presi-
dent, in chapel talk Tuesday,
urged the students to refrain
from trampling on the campus
lawns.
"The faculty or the grounds
committee can't make us keep
off the grass" he said. ''The
thing depends entirely on the
students"
For generations people have
been trying to protect the grass
on the campus. In recent years
w. C. Coker, guardian-in-chief
and beautifier of the campus,
has tried to lay a path where
ever it seemed to be demanded
by conditions Of pedestrian tra-
vel, But no matter how many
paths are built, there are some
students who insist on short
cutting across the lawns.
In the last year or SO there
seems to have been less mall
treatment Of the campus than
there was in older days. The
urgings Of campus leaders have
had a civilizing effect.

An Editorial on Roads

used only as directed by the
commission; but that does not
remove the objection to having
the work done by the counties.
The only way in which the main
tenance of county roads can be
properly attended to is for it to
be a strictly state enterprise.
In every county the states
forces are constantly at work on
the state highways. 1t is OBJ
viously better that these forces,
expanded as necessary, should
do all the road work than that
there should be separately con-
trolled forces operating side by
side with double supervision and
double overhead and inevitable
waste of labor and machinery.
The success of North Caro-
lina's highway system has been
due principally to the fact that
the state has had entire charge
of construction and mainten-

money for use on county roads,
