Chapel Hill Chaf

Mrs. Kluttz says that the re-
port | gave of the breakfast that
w. c. Coker and Phillips Rus
sell prepared for themselves, on
the snowy morning when she
was i'll, vastly underestimated
the devastation wrought in her
kitchen by the botanist and the
biographer. Her testimony is
that wreck is mild word for
the condition in which she found
the room when she went there
later in the morning. Pots and
pans were strewn about, dishes
were upside down, no distinc-
ton had been made between
stove, table, and sink as reposi-
tories for equipment and sup
plies, and fragments of food,
cooked and uncooked, Uttered
the floor along with eggshells
and tin and pasteboard con-
tainers. Mr.. Russell was my
source of information, and |
gathered from him that he had
proceeded in a neat and orderly
manner and that whatever con-
fusion there was had been due
to Mr.. Coker's ineptitude as a
cook. Mrs. Kluttz' account of
the episode does not agree with
this. She says that Mr.. Russell
burned the toast and then, in
stead of holding it over a table
or a platter, scraped the blacken-
ed crust off on the floor-and
left it there.

The illustrious CASTOR B.
Means, author of The Strange
Death Of President Harding, re-
visited his alma mater last
Saturday. With his wife and
son he rolled in from Concord,
his native town, in a gigantic
and luxurious Cadillac sedan
driven by a Negro chauffeur.
After a halt of about two hours
in Chapel Hill he continued on
his journey to Washington, D. c..
Mr.. Means was a member of
the class of 1902 in the Univer-
sity. He was always known as
Bud Means. In those days at
the turn of the century he was a
famous character on the
campus, where he walked about
with his bulldog by the name Of
He'll, but not SO famous as he be-
came afterward through his as
sociation with Harry Daugher-

tables who fourished in the ma

Until last Saturday Mr..
Means had not been in Chapel
Hill for 26 years. He inspected
the campus and the village with
keen interest and marveled at

MAKER OF BELLS
FOR THE TOWER
DESCRIBES THEM
Meneely Tells of Chime Now
Being Made for Morehead-
Patterson Memorial
LIKE ONE AT WEST POINT

William r. Meneely, president
of the company which is max
ing the chime for the Morehead-
Patterson Memorial Tower to be
erected on the University cam
pus, has sent me a description
of the bells.
The tower, with it's chime and
clock, is the gift of John Motley
MOrehead and Rufus l.. Patter-
son. Mr.. Morehead. who is
United States minister to Swe-
den, visited Chapel Hill in the
fall to inspect the site. between
the Library and the Kenan sta
dium, and to discuss the tower
project with the University
authorities.
"The chime will comprise
twelve BELLS writes Mr..
Meneely, "the tenor weighing
$500 pounds, having a diameter
at it's mouth of 56 inches, and
being in the musical key of D
natural. The musical scheme Of
the set embraces the eight notes
of the octave in the diatOnic
scale, with two bells above the
scale. and two other bells at
tuned to the 'sharp-fourth' and
'flat-seventh,' respectively, thus
rendering the chime capable of
producing music in any one of
three different keys. This par
ticular combination of weights
and tones was chosen by the
donors after careful investiga-
ton, and will exactly duplicate
the famous chime in Cadet Chap
ell, West Point, which some mu-
sicians consider to he the most
satisfactory set Of bells in ex-
istence.
"Work on the chime is already
under way at the foundry of our
company in Troy, N. Y, where
the West Point chime was cast,
and the dedication Of the tower
and bells is set for next Thanks
giving Day. Each bell will be
suitably inscribed.
BELLS have their limitations,
and usually, where a set contain
ing a much greater number than
twelve has been used, it has been
found that the large and small
bells DO not sound homogeneous
when rung together. The meth

Young Mr.. Carmichael Wins Fame by
Bizarre Christmas Card Idea

The friends of Bobby Car

ted article about him in this
weeks issue of Time. In the
middle of page % is a reproduc-
ton of the first page of the New

tional tabloid. The greater part
of the page is covered by a pho
tograph of Bobby with a mani
acal grin on his face and with his
