Raleigh Shortcut Open Tomorrow;
New Road to Graham Is Now in Use

Just before this paper went to
press Mr.. Ray, fifth district en-
gineer of the State Highway
commission, said that the newly
surfaced road to Nelson (the
short cut to Raleigh) would be
open for traffic tomorrow (Sat-
urday).
'It may possibly be ready for
use Friday" said Mr.. Ray, "but
| would not like to advise any
body to try to pass over it then.
1t all depends upon whether or
not the carload of tar which we
are looking for is delivered ex-
actly according to schedule. Peo-
pie sometimes run over a fresh
ly treated road before the layer
of crushed stone is placed over
the oil, but it gets the tires into
pretty bad shape and spatters
the car. We would rather not
have any traffic until the sur
facing operation is completed. "
The new road from here to
Graham has now been opened
for traffic, so that tomorrow,
when the link to the east is
ready, the whole of route No. 54
through Carrboro
and Chapel Hill to Nelson-will
be in use. This forms a relief
route for the central highway,

this country was in New York in
December, 1921, and it turned
out to be SO popular that it ran
there for nearly a year. It's

7. F. Hickerson, who came
over the new road from Graham
day before yesterday on his
way home from Ronda, was
impressed by the fine alignment
and grading. Mr., Hickerson is
the author of a standard text
book called Highway Curves
and Earthwork." This is a
splendid piece Of road work, "
he said upon his arrival in
Chapel Hill. "The grades are
easy, and you find none of the
sharp, dangerous curves that are
found on roads constructed in
the earlier stage of our high
way building program. The
surface is good, too"
From here to the Orange-Ala-
nance line, on the way to Gra-
ham, the surface is now gravel,
but next spring the road will re-
ceive the same oil treatment
that has just been applied to the
stretch from here to Nelson.
Then No. "a will have a contin-
uous hard surface from end to
end. The part of it that lies in
Alamance county is concrete.

Miss Braune's Prize
She Wins Scholarship for Study in
New York and Paris

Miss Anna Braune has won a
scholarship giving her a year of
study in the New York School
of Fine and Applied Art and
then a year at an art school in
Paris. The value of the award
is $500 a year for two years.
Miss Braune's triumph came as
the result of an examination of
her work by jury in Nashville,
Tennessee. One non-profes-
sional artist from North Caro-
lima was to be chosen. After
examining her drawings and
paintings the jury decided that
she led all the competitors from
this state.
Mrs. J. C. Bradford, director
of the Nashville Museum of Art,
informs Miss Braune of the
award in a letter in which she
says: 'The jury was very much
pleased with your work and
think you have great future
before you. You are to report
at the New York School of Fine
and Applied Art in September"
Miss Braune had her first art
instruction from Mrs. Mary
Graves Rees here in Chapel Hill
and later studied at the Cincin-
natl School of Art.

Several new buildings are un-

Out on the Pittsboro high
way, a little way beyond the
Carolina Inn, the Phi Delta
Theta and the Pi Kappa Phi fra

for occupancy in the fall. -
The same contractor is put

wood lot) on Columbia street.
The Betas bought this lot from
the Pickard family for S25, 900

intended to launch their build

were delayed. The old residence
was moved to the back of the lot.

now nearly completed, out in

durate. Coats was the court uniform.
The spectators scattered. Juries and
witnesses and litigants suffered. Not
long after, Judge Whitaker came up
for nomination for another term. The
farmers mobilized and marched to the
polls and voted against him and he
was retired to private life. Judge
William r. Allen, who defeated him,
permitted coatless citizens to enter
the court room in comfort.
The above true incident should
teach Louis Graves, Of Chapel Hill,
that he is in danger of meeting the
fate of his kinsman by marriage,
Judge Whitaker. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Graves "is going to ask the

Hill to pass an ordinance requiring
men to wear coats on the streets OF
Chapel Hill in summer"

When the Kenan stadium was

long and 5 feet deep, approached
by three steps and having a rear
wall to serve as a sounding
board, has been erected on the
greensward toward the east end
of the north stand. Spectators
will look down from the con-

In the NeVs and Observer of
last Sunday appeared the follow
ing editorial:
Experience is a dear school but
youth insists upon learning in no
other school. Once upon a time there
lived in Raleigh an able Judge Of the
Superior Court, Judge Spier Whitaker.
He thought a courthouse should be
place Of dignity and that judges
and litigants and jurors and specta-
tors should show 1t at least the out
ward form Of respect by entering its
portals clad as for serious function.
And so, upon a sweltering summer
day, holding court in the county Of
Johnston, he ordered all persons in
the court room to wear their coats.
Time out of mind farmers and liti-
gants, when the weather was bis
tering, had left their coats at home
and sometimes their collars. Law
yers had been known when the heat
was excessive to strip for action" +"
Protest was made that the Judges
order to wear coats on sweltering
day was contrary to century-old
precedent. Moreover, it was held to
be "cruel and unusual punishment"
forbidden by the Constitution. 1t was
urged also that the farmers who did
not wear coats had as much respect
for the court as If they wore stocks
and broadcioth. The Judge was OBJ

ENGINEER COMING
HERE TO DISCUSS
STREET SURFACES
WaldrOp of the State Highway
Commission to Be at Town
Hall This Afternoon
GRAVEL SERIOUS PROBLEM

John D.. Waldrop, chief engi-
neer of the State Highway Com
mission, is coming to Chapel
Hill this (Friday) afternoon to
discuss with Town Manager
Foushee and other citizens vari-
Gus methods of surfacing streets
and roads. He will be at the
Town Hall at $3.50, and every
body who is interested in the
subject, and would like to hear
what Mr.. Waldrop has to say, is
invited to be there.
The upkeep of the gravel
surfaced streets is a grave prob
lem for Chapel Hill, and the
mayor, the town manager, and
the aldermen are anxious to
work out some economical solu-
ton. 1t has been suggested that
an oil-and-crushed stone sur
face, like that between here and
Hillsboro, and between here and
Nelson on the new state route
No. 50, would be less costly to
Chapel Hill, in the long run, than
is the gravel which now forms
the surface on most of the
streets.
The first cost of the gravel is
of course less; but the washing
is SO bad after every rain, and
the wear and tear from autOmO-
bile traffic is so severe, that the
town has to keep repair gangs
constantly at work. 1t may be
that the present cost of main
tanning Rosemary lane, West
Cameron avenue, PittsborO
street, Boundary street, and the
other unpaved thoroughfares is
greater than would be the inter-
est charges plus maintenance if
the town invested in the oil
treatment.
Any more concrete paving in
the village is thought to be out
of the question-for some time
to come, anyway. Concrete is
too costly for the town, in its
present financial situation, to
consider.
The aldermen recently adopt
ed resolution to the effect that
henceforth the entire cost of
street improvements would have
to be met from assessments up
on the abutting property-that
part ef the eost Hetl.lld II b be Laid lsai q
upon the general tax levy.
