Chapel HiH Chaf

To almost every householder,
now and then, falls the miSfor-
tune of having a mouse die IN
the wall, and it is very disagree
able. But the odor that figures
in this chronicle carried no sug-
gestion Of mouse. 1t suggested,
rather, chemical laboratory, or
perhaps tannery or glue fac
tory. 1t was pungent and per-
vading.
Mrs. Summerlin had just
dropped in for a few minutes
call on her next-doOr neighbor,
Mrs. Murchison. They had
barely exchanged greetings
when an expression of pain
overspread Mrs Murchison's
face.
What on earth is that dread
full odorn she exclaimed.
They both shifted inquiringly.
1T is bad said Mrs. Sum
merlin. Il never smelled any
thing quite like it before"
They undertook to find the
source of the offending odor.
They searched behind book cases
and pictures. They removed
cushions from sofas and chairs.
They investigated the fireplace.
Mrs. Murchison was becoming
more agitated moment by mo-
ment,
"And the Boards will be here
for dinner in a little while!" she
lamented. "Something's got to
be done before they come"'
The two women had extended
their researches into the hall,
the dining room, and Mr.. Muir

certs and other entertainments,
but in this case they DAD better
deviate from that habit. When
a man as famous as Kreisler is
the performer, there is rush
for reservations, and late comers
are out Of luck. Two members
of the University faculty applied
yesterday for seats in a certain
place in the hall, and the seats
they asked for had already been
taken.
Applications should be made
to the music department in the
Hill music hall. Tickets ordered
by telephone will be held until
next Wednesday, the 22nd, but
if not paid for by that day they
will be held no longer. The best
procedure is to accompany your
application by a check; this can
be done by mail or by a call at
the music office.

From his preoccupation with
the life of the Chaldeans, Assyr-

peoples of remote B. c.. and his
constant association with num-
mics. totem-poles, and hero
glyphs, Mr.. Harland is naturally
under the suspicion of not hav-

gone into communion with the
spirit of Amenhotep or Abu-

Rattlesnake Meat Put on Market
AS Latest Delicacy; 1t May Soon

The latest delicacy offered to
the American public is rattle
snake meat. The product now

Chapel Hills first informa-

from the famous resort is the
plant of the Floridian Products
Corporation, and it is here that
rattlesnake products are pre-

and skulls, and various orna-

BOst's BOmbshell
Tossed by Greensboro Papers Corre-
spondent. 1t Has Not Yet Burst

Considerable interest was
aroused in Chapel Hill Monday
by a Raleigh despatch to the
Greensboro NeWs bearing this
headline in large type on the
front page: Negroes Will Ask
Admittance to Law Courses at
L. \. c.
Inquiry at the office of NJ. T.
Van Hecke. dean of the Univer-
sity law school, reveals that no
application from Negro has
been received. All the law school
knows about the matter is what
it has seen in the newspapers.
The writer Of the despatch to
the NeWS presumably Tom
Bost was positive about it. He
said:
Application blanks are IN the
hands of students who will re-
quest the right to attend law
classes. The certain refusal of
the University authorities to re-
ceive such students will be fol-
lowed by some sort of court ac-
ton, probably a mandamus. This
case will be carried to the Unit
ed States Supreme Court.
THE News got this story,
which is absolutely authentic, a
day or two ago. The Negro at
torneys who will bring the suit
belong to the more radical and
aggressive wing of Negro citi-
zens. They have talked this pro-
cedure over with some of the
best lawyers in the United
States.
"Milder Negro leadership fav-
ors this procedure: the appeal to
the state to enact the spirit of
the constitution which gives the
Negro accommodations equal to
those in institutions which he
cannot share with the white
man. These more patient and
elderly leaders trust great deal
to time.
Unless the two Negro law
yers who have the case now de-
eide to follow their elders, a
change of heart that the elders
do not expect, there should be
some sort of legal procedure
within a few days"

WILL STIMULATE
THE FARMERS TO
RAISE OWN FOOD
Movement in This County Will
Be Launched at Meeting in
HillsbOrO Next Thursday
LANDLORDS HELP NEEDED

The plan to have destitute
farm families in Orange county
produce their own food will take
definite form at a meeting at Z
o'clock next Thursday afternoon
in the court house in HillsbOrO.
At this meeting George H. Law
renee, county welfare superln-
tendent. and Don Matheson,
county farm agent, will consult
with representatives of the
Grange, other land-oWnlng
farmers, and ~members Of local
relief committees.
This project is part of a state
wide movement, inaugurated by
the Governors Office of Relief,
to stimulate dairying, the cult
Vation Of gardens, and the rails
ing of pigs and poultry so that
next fall and winter the farming
population will not depend upon
relief agencies for food.
AS far as Orange is concerned,
the most serious situation exists
in the tobacco-groWing region in
the northern part of the county.
OF the 400 farm families that
have been receiving aid from
public funds, more than 200 are
in the Cedar Grove township.
There are many tenant farm
ers in that township" said Mr..
Lawrence yesterday, "and they
have concentrated on tobacco to
the neglect Of other products. 1t
is astonishing to see how many
families do not have even a cow
or Il pig or any sort Of garden.
1t is our purpose to get such
families to work on producing
their own food 50 that they will
not be public charge. OF course
We will have to provide many Of
them with seed and plants, and
then we will have to exercise
some sort Of supervision to make
sure that, having once begun,
they keep on with the program.

Figure in City.

Seven persons were arrested early
today after Ed Shufelton, "A, pro-
prietor of an apartment house at

jack.
He said he had left his door
open to permit his son, Thomas

3 a. m.
Shufelton said he then took S45
from his FELLOWSHIP, put it in his
pajama coat pocket and dragged
himself to Apartment l, where Mr..
and Mrs. William King bathed his
head and called police.
Twelve stitches were required to
close wounds on Shufeltons head
when he was taken to city hospital.
While Lieutenant Leo Troutman
was questioning persons living in the
apartment building, police outside
discovered stolen car believed
used in recent holdup.
After hearing several different
versions about how long the car had
been in front of the apartment,
Troutman arrested the Kings and
Betty Woods, 81, all of Apartment
l; Tony Ross, alias Thelma Har-
rington, IS, and Jean Curry, Apart
ment 2; William Roberts, %, Au-
guSta, Ga, visiting in Apartment l.,
and Fred Owens, IS, found in Apart
ment 2, but whose home is where
he hangs his hat"
Shufelton is well known in Indi-

jewelry about three years ago on a
visit to Chicago.
He reported to police clothing
worth $75 was taken from his
apartment this morning.
