It just happened that a re-
porter for the San Francisco
Examiner was in the party
and heard the teacher recite
his striking lines with all the
power of his soul. The re-
porter liked the poe m so
much that he told the author
he would do his best to get
it printed in the Examiner.
So Edwin Markham, needing
money pretty badly, gave the
verses to the Examiner man,
who took them to his editor.
The verses were set up in
type, and there they lay for
weeks, ignored a n d forgot

up editor of t h e Examiner
had a hole to fill in his home

fill it in a hurry because edi-

English seaside town. So, with
its beginnings rooted in Roman
times, it isn't astonishing that
Kent has since garnered an
incredible wealth of historical
associations.
The gem Of Kent is perhaps
the cathedral town Of Canter-

that st. Augustine established
the first English see and from
there their missionaries f1rS t

sible conflict is stirring up argu-
ment and making neighbors eye
each other threateningly across
their boundary lines.
Now and then there bursts
forth a real alteration between
garden-growing and chicken
growing neighbors; but most of
ten the citizen whose domain is
invaded, shrinking from open
discord, takes it out by lam
bastin' the chicken-owner in con-
versation with mutual friends.
A little while ago DR.. Charles
S. Mangum decided he would re-
sort to the law for relief, es-
pecially as the, appeal promised
a good joke to boot. His next
door neighbor is w. S. Robertson,
mayor of the town. The physi-
clan walked into the mayors Of
flee and addressed him solemnly
as follows:
Mr.. Mayor, | want to swear
out a warrant to abate nui-
sance."
Mr.. Robertson drew a sheet of
paper to him, took up his pen,
and asked in a strictly official
tone:
Against whom is the warrant
directed%'
Against w. S. Robertson,
whose chickens are coming over
into my garden"
The pen poised over the sheet
in min-air. After moments
pause the mayor said:
You know, somehow | believe
that case can be settled out of
court"
In less than "a hours the
mayor had enclosed his chicken
yard in tall fence of the very
best quality of wire, and since
then his chickens have dwelled
therein, gazing wistfully at the
Mangum garden but never
emerging from the enclosure ex-

Nah JOngg

tissue of April 5, 1929
Nah Jongg, a game imported
from China, is to invade Chapel
Hill. Miss Curtis Henderson,
now visiting Japan, writes her
parents of playing it at the home
of the American Ambassador
and says she will bring home the
implements of the sport. The
news was first accepted with
pleasurable anticipation, but it
is said that Mr.. Henderson lost
his enthusiasm when somebody
told him the outfit cost $3.50.
This was later declared to be a
false alarm. Extreme vagueness
marks Chapel Hills ideas about
how Nah Jongg is played. Some
say with ivory counters, some
say with exquisitely carved arti-
fetal flowers.

A New Home Colony
tissue of April 5, 1929

tissue OF Apr1t ), 1923)
Yet another residential col
ony for Chapel Hill. The Order
of Gimghouls, junior society in
the University, is going to di-
vide into lots and sell part of its
tract of 81 acres on the east side
of Battle Park. 1t is to retain
several acres, including the his
toric Piney Prospect, for the new
lodge that it expects to build
about a year hence.
The part of the tract to be cut
up into building lots is on the
left side of the Raleigh road as
one leaves town, beyond the
cemetery, and is near the place
where the celebrated Judge"
BrOckWell lived. About IS acres
are TO be given to the UnlVer-
sity by the Gimghouls as an ad-
dition to the park.
The Gimghouls acquired their
land seven years ago when it had
a small intrinsic, though a high
sentimental, value. Nobody fore
saw the spreading Of the village
that has since taken place. The
prevalence of automobiles has
removed the disadvantage of
distance from the campus and
the business center of town, and
this has contributed to the soar
ing of land values.

Nice-PreSident as Lame Duck
(Sdn Francisco ChrOnicle)

(San Francisco Chronicle)
The possibility of Vice-Pres-
ident becoming a lame duck was
overlooked by the drafters of
the Twentieth Amendment.
They had their eyes pealed so
closely to bag the lame ducks of
the House and Senate that they
forgot all about the presiding of
ticer of the Senate, who is the
Vice President.
The new amendment states
that the Congress shall assemble
at least once year on the third
day Of January. Another sec
ton, however, states that the
term of the Vice-President shall
end at noon on the goth day of
January. There are then seven
teen days after Congress meets
before the terms Of the Presi-
dent and Vice-President end.
This means that a retiring
Vice President cannot escape be-
ing lame duck, for those seven
teen last days in which he holds
the gavel over the Senate.
All, well! Vice-Presidents
have always been neglected and
forgotten. Here, as usual, they
will have to bear up under their
affiiction.

mean, Of course, the discharge
of some of the teachers. But
opposition to that move runs
strong in the faculty circle.
Probably the prevailing senti-
ment is that of a professor who
said to the editor this week: IL
don't think anybody ought to be
turned off and added to the
army Of unemployed in order
that others pay may be main
tanned. Rather than that, the
cut in the total salary fund had
better be distributed among the
entire faculty"
In his appeal for an increase
of the budget commissions fig
ure President Graham told the
appropriations committee last
month that since 1929 there had
been 90 calls from other insti-
tutiOns to 81 members of the fac
ulty, carrying an aggregate IN
crease in salaries of $130,000.
In this same period an average

Raleigh Times in an editorial

upon by the appropriations COM
mittee will be further cut, since
it was recommended by a ma
jority of only one vote, At any
rate, we must face what is moth
ing less than the cruel crippling
of state institutions for higher
education. To meet this reduction
and carry on, the University will
have to fix the compensation of
its faculty as that Of minor
clerks, if not day laborers. The
result of such a policy will be in
evitable, if delayed a bit by the
general distress of the times.
The faculty members will be
forced out, a pretty time the

near the window when he was
startled by a furious popping.
He is a veteran of the World
War, and he recognized the
sound at once. SO he dived into
a clothes closet and slammed the
door behind him. w. S. Bern
ard, who lived in the house, kept
a big pistol, as protection
against burglars, c h ic k e n
thieves, and other invaders, and
there was a box Of cartridges on
the mantelpiece. When the fire
reached them they began to ex-
plode. That was what hastened
Mr.. Currie into the closet. He
waited, and in a minute or two
the fusillade was over. Then he
emerged from the closet, COM
pleted the salvage of the remain
ing articles in the room, and de-
