MAJ. LADD URGES
 AIRPORT IN CITY
Believes Field Is Essential to
 New Britain's Progress

Lack of an airport will work to the disadvantage of this city, in the opinion of Major William H. Ladd of the 43d division air corps. who expressed this conviction at the 17th annual Washington's birthday ban- quet of the Anchor. Brand club of North & Judd Mfg. Go. Saturday night. You will need a field for the future in this city, the home of Charles K. Hamilton" he said. Major Ladd stressed the point that there is no absence of interest in New Britain as the t3d division has two officers and IS privates from this city. The officers are Lieut.. Carl J. Dixon and Lieut.. Charles J. Wright.
 Major Ladd gave comprehensive history of mans effort to master the air from the first attempts at fly ing" with a glider to the present. He sketched the improvements in en- zines and fuselage and predicted that still greater improvements would be made. The all metal fuse- lage has reduced the hazard of fly ing 10 great extent, he said, stat ing that he has known of crashes" in which pilot and passengers have been found sitting on the wings smoking cigarettes when ambulancrs changed to the scene to remove the victims" to the hospital.
 Praises N. & J. Hardware
 He likened the parachute to life preserver aboard ship, saying that 1t was something held in reserve for emergencies. While it required more courage to step off into the air than jump into the water, few would hesitate to make tho leap when they realized that an airship in which they were riding was on fire or headed for the ground out of con- trol. He paid compliment to North & Judd hardware. used ex- tensively in the making Of parachute harness, by saying that he had never known of 8 parachute fatality which was due to the harness giving way.
 Commercial aviation's greatest need, Major Ladd said, is an instru- ment which will reveal to the pilot his actual altitude over the spot where he happens to be and radio system which will keep a pilot post cd on weather conditions in an area

Scouts Give Aid at Fire
Chapel Hill Boys Show What They
Can Do in an Emergency

The Boy Scouts of Chapel Hill
put on a first-aid exhibition at
a fire at the school Wednesday
a al # was not eat fire
but just a practice affair espe-
cially arranged for the Scouts
by the village fire company.
The company brought out the
engine in response to an alarm
and laid a line of hose inte the
building.
Twenty-four boys took part in
the demonstration. They roped
off the building to keep the
crowd away; they went into the
supposedly burning structure
and rescued three boys who had
been overcome" and were un-
conscious for the occasion. Three
different methods of getting
helpless persons to safety were
exhibited: the firemen's drag,
the fireman's lift-and-carry, the
chair-carry, and the back-carry.
The scouts also demonstrated
stretcher-making, artificial res
piration, head-bandaging, eye
bandaging, foot-bandaging, and
sling-making. A group of them
directed traffic at the corner of
Columbia and Franklin streets
while the fire was in progress.

"Have you got any more ?"
asked the sheriff.
Another half gallon was
brought forth, and then a gal
Ion, and at last, when the sheriff
expressed a willingness to take
the entire stock, a keg contain
ing two or three gallons.
"1'm the sheriff of Orange
county," said Mr.. Sloan, and
displayed his badge.
The old man seemed crestfal-
len. The name Sloan had meant
nothing to him; it appeared that
he didn't know who the sheriff
was.
He is to appear for trial at the
next term of court.

GIFT OF LAND TO
CLUB Is CHEERED
DINNER PARTY
Beautiful Hill in the Middle of
the Golf Course Is Pre-
scented by COker
MAY BE PRACTICE HOLE

W. C. Coker has given to the
Country Club the hill in the mid
die of the golf course. The an
nOuncement of the gift, made by
S. E. Leavitt at the cabaret
party last Saturday evening,
was greeted with loud hand
clapping and cheers.
This is the six-acre tract
which, according to the agree
ment approved at the clubs an
nual meeting January 81, was
to be conveyed t6~Mr. Coker in
exchange for land needed for
the extension of the course to
nine holes. The clubs repre-
sentatives had told him that the
hill was not needed as part of
the course, and the idea was
that it might be developed as
residential property at some
time in the future; but when he
learned that many of the mem
bers were anxious to keep the
hill in its natural state, and
had launched a movement to
raise a fund for it's purchase,
he wrote a letter to Mr.. Leavitt
offering to turn it over to the
club without charge.
The hill, where the third hole
is now situated, lies almost at
the center of the enlarged
course, with fairways and
greens on three sides of it. The
round open hilltop is the most
striking feature of the land
scape. The committee of men,
bers which launched the move
ment to buy the hill-a move
ment now made unnecessary
by Mr.. Coker's generosity
said in it's circular letter: "The
fine curve of the crest of this
hill does more perhaps than any
other one thing to make the
course the most picturesque in
this part of the country.
Houses of any kind on it would
destroy that line, cut off the dis
tant view beyond it, and spoil
the essential character and
charm of the landscape"
Mr.. Leavitt told the people at
the cabaret party that the hill
could be used for a practice hole.

HEES,
AND NCAPTURED
BY FAST PURSUER
Greensboro Youth Who Tries to
Make Getaway Is Caught
by Ex-POlice Chief
is BOUND OVER TO COURT

A youth sped eastward on
the main street in a blue Ford
coach Saturday afternoon. Peo-
pie walking along the sidewalks
remarked his high speed and
prophesied trouble. The trouble
came before he got out of town.
Opposite the Daggetts', at the
head of Battle Lane, he crashed
into the back of a car occupied
by four negroes, tearing off the
left rear wheel and MASKING in
the understructure and the body.
The noise of the collision was
heard blocks away.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Coffin
Taylor, on their way uptown on
foot, were in front of the Kluttz
home. At the crash they turn
ed and saw the blue coach back
ing off from the car it had
wrecked. They thought of
course the driver was preparing
to stop and get out. But he
wheeled his coach about, went
west, and turned right into
Hillsboro street. Then they
knew they were looking at a
hit-and-run performance.
What the youth did, it was
learned afterward, was to speed
around the block, enter the main
street again at the Trabue cor
ner Boundary street,, and
make off toward Durham.
Two or three minutes later a
big Chrysler sedan, just in from
Durham, drew up beside the
negroes wrecked car. In reply
to his eager questions one of the
bystanders gave the occupant a
description of the car that had
disappeared.
Il lust saw it going down the
hill" said the stranger.
The man in the sedan was
Cecil McCleese, formerly chief
of police of Durham. He turned
his car around and made
off after the fugitive. At
the bend near the Carl Dur
ham home he saw the blue
coach in the ditch, but
there was nobody with it. Mr..
McCleese increased his already
high speed and kept on. On the

L. Gray in the Raleigh Times,
.''what Cap'n Smith, skipper of
the train between Carrboro and
University station, thinks of this
damnable era of progress that
brings a daily paper to Chapel
Hill" Well, Cap'n Smith, like
the rest of us who knew the old
village, tries to take all this
progress indulgently. A few
months ago he and l had an
agreeable session of sentiment
alizing over the days when the
grass grew over most of the sur
face of the main street, leaving
a vehicle trail in the middle;
when thoughtful citizens car
ried lanterns on dark nights to
keep them from stepping into
puddleS and collldIng with
trees; when you could get all
the quail you wanted at five
cents apiece; when there were
no numbers on the houses and
everybody knew everybody else.
But before we parted we con-
fessed that we liked to have tele-
phones and street lights and an
early delivery of daily newspa-
pers and a modern ice plant.

When the Firemen Go
One Truck Remains Here, and Dur.
ham Is Ready to Give Aid

Apropos of a letter in the last
issue of the Weekly suggesting
that the fire company had bet
ter not go to another town and
leave this one unprotected,
Town Manager Foushee said
yesterday:
I'VE have two trucks, and
when the larger one went to
Pittsboro few days ago we had
the second at fire headquarters
ready for service, and Chief
Foister and four firemen re-
mained with it during the entire
period of the first trucks alb
sence.
mot only that, but before
the call from Pittsboro was an
swered Chief Foister got the
chief of the Durham fire de-
partment on. the telephone and
asked him to have a truck in
readiness to answer a call from
here. Chief Bennett agreed and
assigned for this purpose a
truck in the Durham fire house
nearest Chapel Hill.
Under such circumstances
we feel we are justified in re-
spending to a call of distress
from a neighboring commun-
ity."

Bernard Frees His Leg
Professor DemOlishes Cast with Saw,
Chisel, and Pliers

The doctors put a plaster
cast on w. S. Bernard's right
leg after he had been run down
by an automobile and had a
bone broken on Christmas Eve.
Last week they told him it was
about time for the thing to come
off.
He grew impatient and de-
cided he would do the job him
self. So he got the kit of tools
from his automobile and went
to work.
With a hack-saw he sawed
the pIaster-of-p paris block dag
onally from top to bottom. Then
he stuck a chisel in the crack
and priced it open. The last
part of the operation was done
with pliers. In a few minutes
the leg was free and Mr.. Ber-
nard was joyfully casting the
fragments of the cast into a
waste-basket.
Immediately after the acci-
dent it was thought that the
blow on his head was Mr.. Ber-
nard's most serious injury. But
the broken bone in his leg turn
ed out to be much worse. He
has had to 90 about on crutches
ever since the accident occurred.
