18th Anniversary of End of World
War to Be Celebrated Here

There is to be a big parade. in
Chapel Hill on the morning of
November II, the 18th anniver-
sary of the day when the Armis-
tice ended the World War.

the local post of the American
Legion, is directing the arrange
ments.
The parade will form on West
Franklin street, and the route of
march will probably be down
the street through the business
section, around the corner at
the Presidents House, along the
Raleigh road, into the campus
at the east gate, and up Gamer
on avenue to Memorial hall. The
Armistice Day exercises in the
hall will begin at 1920.
Judge Phipps will ask the
University band to lead the
parade, and the Boys Band, too,
will take part. Among the
marchers will be the women Of
the Legion Auxiliary, and the
Boy Scouts. The United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, the
Red Cross, and other Organiza-
tions are expected to be repre-
sented by gaily decorated floats.
A joint supper of the Legion
and the Auxiliary will end the
days celebration.

Comments

| have never been able to see
any good reason why political
leaders in North Carolina
Ishould not speak out on the ques-
ton of the repeal of the 18th
Amendment. The public has a
right to know how the men
elected to public office stand on
the issues of the day, and no.
body will deny that repeal is
now one of the most important
issues. 1t strikes me that every
office-holder and member of the
legislature ought to be willing
to say in plain words, what he
thinks of repeal and whether or
not he is going to vote for it on
election day
Senator Reynolds has not
hesitated to declare himself for
repeal. Attorney General Brum-
mitt has not hesitated to declare
himself against it. According
to the NeWs and Observer. two
state officials, Matt Allen and
Dewey Dorsett, in declining an
invitation to the anti-repeal rally
in Raleigh last Sunday, said flat
ly that their reason for declining
was that they ware in favor of
repeal. This frankness was re-
freshing-and exceptional. Most
of the officials who were invited
and did not want to attend gave
excuses and carefully refrained
from saying they were not in
sympathy with the purpose of
the meeting. Senator Bailey
came out for repeal this week.
A man who is in politics, and
hopes to stay in politics, natur-
ally desires not to antagonize
any large element of voters.
That, | presume, is why so many
of ofi' prominent politicians
have not taken a definite stand
on repeal They want to re-
main in favor with both the
vets and the drys. They may

Chapel Hill Chaf

Jess Mebane tells me of a re-
markable achievement by Ralph
Faison, Jr., of Greensboro at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago.
Young Faison, who is about
IA years old, went to the Fair
on a tour arranged for a COM
pany of boys by the Y.M.C.A.
Naturally, the boys spent more
money than they intended, on
sideshows and other allure
ments, and long before it was
time to start home they found
themselves busted on the Mid
way. Faison was seized by an
idea.
He had gone barefooted all
his life, even in cold weather,
despite the protests of his pa
rents. The consequence was
that the bottoms of his feet
were hard and scaly, and as
tough as leather. AS he looked
about him, at the Fair, he OBJ
served that everybody else,
young and old, was wearing
shoes. Why not capitalize on
his unusual feet?
With the help of his com
panions he prepared a sign that
read as follows:
Burning cigarette and cigar
stumps put out with bare feet !,

Tomorrow, October %, is the
only day for registration for the
election to be held Tuesday, No

repeal of the 18th Amendment.
Paul Robertson, the registrar,

Citizens who have registered

gistration tomorrow is for the
citizens whose names are not al

Inc distinction between a gen
eral election and special cleo
tion should be borne in mind.
Having registered for a special
electlon-such as, for example,
the one on the school tax last
month-does not qualify a per-
son to vote November 7; but he
is qualified if he registered for

explanation. Any way, the
roadster sideswiped the Temple
car, and, completely out Of CON
troll, crashed into the fence on
the right side The fact that
the fence was demolished for
25 or 30 yards, the posts being
broken off indicates that the
roadster must have been going
at high speed. 1t turned over
three or four times and came
to rest at the bottom of the gul.
ley near the Whitefield home.
The noise of the collision had
been heard all over the east end
of the village, and presently
there were several persons on
the scene. The police and ply
sicians were summoned.
Coleman, Baldwin, and Prit-
chard were taken to Watts hos
pitaI in Durham, and Radford,
the least seriously injured, had
his cuts and bruises treated at
the Infirmary. Coleman, whose
skull was crushed, may lose an
eye. Baldwin, one of whose YER
tebrae was broken, will be in a
plaster cast for weeks.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
PIE PLATE

Uncle Wiggily, the jolly old rab-
bit gentleman, was sitting under 6
tree waiting for a pie to grow on
it. That may seem funny, but IF
you heard the story last night, you
know how it happened.
Mr.. Longears had gone adventur-
ing to find a pie tree. In the woods
he saw a tree on one branch of
which was a shiny tin pie plate.
And where they was a pie plate,
with flakes of crust still clinging
to it, Uncle Wiggily thought sure
" there would be another pie
growing soon. So he sat down to
wait. He hoped turnip pie, on an
other bright and shiny tin plate,
would grow on the tree over his
head while he waited.
For I am very fond of turnip
pie" said Mr.. Longears.
So he sat there and waited. It
was a bright, sunny day in No
vember and though it was a little
cold in the part of the country

the pie plate had fallen from the
tree branch.
"It was the pie plate that fell on
me and woke me up said Uncle
Wiggily with little laugh. 1.-THE
wind must have blown it down.
There is no sense in an empty pie
plate staying up in a tree. But
where is ,the new turnip pie 1
hoped would grow for me?" he ask
ed.
AnXiously he looked up amid the
tree branches, but he saw nothing
of a new pie growing. There wasn't
a piece of tin to be seen-not SO
much as would make spoon.
Then, all of a sudden, Uncle Wig
lgily heard some one laughing, and
locking up, he saw Jackie Bow
Wow, the little puppy dog boy, gig
Cling and chuckling.
"Ho, Jacket called Uncle Wig
gily. did you jiggle the tree and
make the empty pie plate fall down
on my head?'
mo, Uncle Wiggily, I didn't do
that" barked Jackie. But I'm glad
the pie plate fell"
"Ch, are you?" asked the rab-
bit gentleman, rubbing his nose.
"I don't mean I'm glad the pie
plate fell on you,' said Jackie. I'm
sorry about that. But you see I
threw the pie plate up in the tree
for fun and it stuck there. l went
home to get a long pole to knock
the pie plate down again SO I could
play with it, but my mother
wouldn't let me take a pole, for it
