WORK BEGINS ON
VILLAGE STREETS
C.W.A. Force Makes Start at
West End of Town; Sidewalks
and Trees FIRST in Order
DELAY IN GETTING STONE

Work began yesterday on the
C.W.A. project of improving
Chapel Hill streets The first
operations are the grading
draining, and resurfacing of
sidewalks and the pruning of
trees.
The hard-surfacing of the
streets with a combination of
tar and crushed stone must be
deferred a while because a sup
ply of stone is not yet available.
Stone crushers are being erect
ed on University property, and
the stone for the streets Is to
be obtained from them under a
cooperative arrangement be
tween the University and town
authorities It may be- how
ever. that this supply will not
be adequate and that the town
will have to get some OF It's ma
terial from the Cobb and Home
wood crusher out on the west
edge of Carrboro.
The town has worked out a
satisfactory plan for financing
its contribution to the cost of the
project. Under CIV A. regula-
tiOns labor and a certain pro
portion Of the necessary ma
terials are provided by the gov
eminent. but the remainder of
the materials must be provided
by the applicant for government
aid. Maintenance will be great
ly reduced by the hard-surfac-
ing. and this assured saving
makes it possible, by adjust
ments of the budget, for the
town to put the required amount
of money into the purchase of
materials
George Dickinson, a student
who used to work for the Davey
tree surgeons and has become a
tree surgeon himself, is to prune
trees that need to be pruned,
along the streets, under the dl-
rection of W. c. Coker, profes-
sor of botany and adviser to the
municipality on all matters re-
lating to trees, grass, and shrub
berry. And probably some new
trees will be planted.

The confagration would become

remarks the New Orleans Times-Pic-
ayune, while the Chester (Pa) Times
observes "the city knows how to take
a wallop on the chin and keep right

Press is sure that Chicago can be
counted on to repair its damage quick
ly and continue the spirit of business
as usual " The Nashville Tennessean
is impressed by the fact that "the
courage Chicago has displayed in the
face of this great loss is capable of
working near-miracles, and encour-
ages the hope that the rebuilding will
be as spectacular as the destruction"
The Columbus Dispatch agrees that
'the most striking feature is the speed
with which the damage is being re-
paired"
Tributes to the courage and eff

The NAVY on Parade.

It is good that now and again the
Navy parades. The great review yes
terday must have been thrilling to see;
It was exciting even to read about.
President Roosevelt, a sailor in his
own personal right and an erstwhile
Navy Department executive, knowing
the service intimately, surely will re-
member the occasion with pride and
pleasure as long as he lives. And it
was a red letter event for Josephus
Daniels and Claude A. Swanson, also
they, too, shared in appreciation and
understanding of the significance of the
long procession of floating fortresses.
Let it be said at once that the
United States was neither boasting
nor threatening when it demonstrated
the fighting strength of the naval arm
of its national defense. There was
no political need for any such dis
play-the world is familiar with the
fact that the American flag has mari
time protection. The parade had a
deeper meaning. 1t had the value of
reafirming an integral factor in
American characterize power to dc
things; the power to conquer circum-
stance. And the people of the land

Of their strength. Struggling as they

Now, when the opportunity for such
reorganization is presented, there is
a strange lack of unity, and there has
been, indeed, talk of allo wing the mat
ter to drift, with no election held. One
wing of the party demands more
liberal policy and more liberal chair
man of the committee. Another in
sists that the Republican party must
stand as the conservative hope OF the
country against the "radicalism" Of
the Roosevelt new DEAL
Here and there are found Repub-
lican leaders who are talking of Sc
lecting a liberal conservative" as
chairman of the National Committee.
Just what a liberal conservative may
be has not been defined. Clearly he
would not be of the Republican "old
guard" nor would he belong to the
progressives who have looked to Nor
ris and La Toilette for their leader
ship. 1t is not without significance,
however, that some of the recognized
old guard leaders have been talking
of making the G. o. P. less conserva-
tive, and they have joined in a search
for a new figure to put in the front
window of the party as chairman OF
the National Committee.
Probably the selection of a new
Republican chairman will not greatly
affect the political situation. 1t has
been argued, however, and with some
justification, that the country will get
an inkling of what the G. o. P.'s po-
litical plans for the future are from
this selection; that it will give an in
dication of the direction toward which
the Republicans are thinking. To fail
to elect chairman, and let the whole
matter ride along, while it might be
the easiest way out for the committee
just now, would not be an impressive
gesture. In fact, it would make the
party look rather silly.

shape of economic distress, they will
be advantaged by the knowledge that
the fighting spirit is not dead in the
national soul. The ships passing In
rhythmic line yesterday signaled back
to the Republic the message: Take
heart. We are not beaten. There is
nothing to fear" The lesson Of it all
will have constructive effect.
Perhaps the time may come when
navies will have no further excuse for
existence, when unruffled peace will
rule the planet. But, If so, something
indescribably colorful, something in
finitely stimulating, will disappear
from the current experience of the
race. The pageant of the fleet, it
might be argued, is an end in itself.
No one can witness it without re-
spending to its glorious attraction.
Out of the mists, pressing relentlessly
forward over the waves, the mighty
shapes appear, On, on they come,
their unseen engines driving them like
mountains quickened by earthquakes.
Flags fly, bands play, guns flash, tens
of thousands of men salute the Ma
tons chosen chief and the imponder-
able things of which he is a living
symbol. And the pulses of humber
citizens than the President beat with
the fever of drama so compelling. 1t
is poetry, and it has the beneficent
cleansing influence of brave and noble
song.

AS to one aspect of war debts Europe
need not be in the slightest doubt
that Is, that President Roosevelt will
not enter a conference with debtor

bloc in any way, shape or manner.
Proposals to that end will be met
with the sharpest rundown which
the language of diplomacy permits.

Poor Cooking by
Public Caterers
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star.
1t is unfortunate, but many individ-
uals engaged in the cafe and restau-
rant business seem absolutely unable
to prepare and serve food in an ap-
petizing manner, as the majority OF
public eating places serve food that
appeals neither to the eye nor taste.
Seldom can one get coffee that is
either not too weak and insipid in
taste or else too strong and bitter, as
the cooks seldom seem to strike the
happy medium someway in making
coffee, and yet good coffee is food
for the gods and starts the whole
day right. Outside of New Orleans,
where they have fine French cooking, l
find 1t hard to get meals that are
well seasoned and properly favored,
and where the meats are not too rare
or burned to a crisp at the other
extreme and where the biscuits are
not, like the the notorious brides
biscuits, hard as brickbats. More
people ruin their stomachs (unless
cast iron) and their dispositions also
by eating the culinary messes put be-
fore the public and termed food by
cafes, and 1t is no wonder that the
sale of medicines and tablets for in
digestion are greatly on the increase
in this country Cooking is an art
and, like everything else, 1t needs a
specialist to supervise it if done cor
rectly, but the restaurants seem to hire
novices with few exceptions who ex-
pertinent upon the public.
In ones own home a person can go
to the kitchen and prepare a good
meal to suit, but the tourist has to
eat at commercial eating houses except
when fortunate in having their friends
invite them to a good home meal
cooked by a woman generally who Is
an expert in the culinary line, hav-
ing prepared meals for her family
for years and having acquired GER
tain gift that cafes seldom achieve.
1t is not that I think catering to
ones appetite is the chief end of man
or that people should live to eat, but
only that as long as we have to eat
to live more attention should be given
to the correct preparation Of we'll
seasoned and well-balanced food, so
that our bodies, which are compli-
Gated machines. can run smoothly
without undue friction.
Food should not only be cooked right
but should appeal to the eye also,
and people enjoy their meals better
when served by smiling, clean-look-
ing waitress than when literally slung
and almost hurled on the table, as IS
often the case, by some ill-tempered
vixen. And the public also likes to
know that the silverware and dishes
are sterilized and really clean and
not Just rinsed in cold water after
each dinner.
The writer has Travelled in many
States and knows that tourists appre-
ciate well cooked meals above all else.

Protests Misuse
of Memorial Day

To the Editor of The Star:
Memorial day in Washington, the
Nations Capital, should be one to
which the whole Nation might look
for guidance in the observation OF
the day. Instead, within sight and
sound of and during the memorial
services at Arlington National Gene
terry, a horse show and circus, spon-
sored by the military post at Fort
Myer, was staged near main entrances
to the cemetery. with an entry by the
daughter of the President, advertised
as a drawing card. This is all quite
right and proper in itself. but not on
Memorial day. A sense of the eternal
fitness of things, as well as Scripture,
tells us there is time for every pur-
pose" We cannot hope to have count
less individuals observe the day as
is fitting and proper. but 1t Is not
too much to expect it of those high
in command of our Government, es-
pecially our military, in whose honor,
for past achievements and sacrifices,
the day was originally set apart. 1t
would seem there is yet wide field
for teachers of patriotism to instill in
the minds of the thoughtless that Me-
mortal day is not a time for pleasure
seeking and sporting contests, but
time for reverent reflection In pay
ing grateful tribute and homage to
those who served us in our hour of
need. LAURA T. HOTT.

Lessons of Chicago Blaze
Are Impressed ON Nation

With loss of nearly eight millions,
the Chicago stockyards fire becomes
subject Of discussion throughout the
country. 1t is observed that the fire.
men worked with efficiency and that
they had the benefit of improved fire.
fighting equipment, but it is contended
that there should be some means of
avoiding loss of so great proportions.
1.-THE fire might have been checked
at the start under an efficient inSpec-
ton system" thinks the Springfield
(Mass.) Daily News, with the convic-
ton that "the danger is far too great
to allow the conditions that lead up
to it to continue, when remedies may
be applied with little cost and with
probable effectiveness" Observing
that there had been suspicion of in
cendiarism, the Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zette declares that such an offense
would establish major crime that
should unite all the forces of the law
to give the guilty the limit punish
ment provided" The Indianapolis
Star observes that "the loss, which
would be a severe handicap to any
except great city like Chicago, is a
high price to pay as another lesson in
the need of watchfulness against fire
and other perils."
Every fire." says the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, "is a piece of care
leSsneSs or a case Of arson. There
will be property loss and loss of life
by fire as long as some system Of
penalization is not applied to care
lessness. We are getting to do very
well by the arsonists, but we are doing
nothing at all about the carefree in
dividuals who flip cigarette stumps
willy nilly. How much real differ
ence does it make to a burned area
whether the burner did it deliberately
or merely didn't care what became of
the firebrand he tipped out into the
breeze?"
Elimination of fire hazards" is de-
clared by the Siox Falls Argus-Leader
to be a necessity. The Hartford Times
advises that "if metal Is not to be used
in construction at the stockyards,
there would seem to be a challenge for
the chemists to devise some form Of
fireproof surfacing, that hogs cannot
shoulder off or cattle lick away" The
Chattanooga Times holds that, with
out doubt, Chicago will come out of
the ruins of 40-odd blocks a better
city" The Dayton (Ohio) Herald
predicts that there will be new
stockyards of more modern and more
fireproof construction, and in this, the
city has a chance to lead the world,
for no stockyards have ever yet been
made fireproof"
1.-THE wooden structures burned"
according to the Rock Island Argus,
will be replaced by brick and con-
crete f1reproof buildings-a great gain.
1t looked for while as If the fire was
to take on immense proportions, but
when the wind abated and the fire.
men made their prompt response that
menace fortunately failed to be real
lied. Safer and better stockyards will
rise from the ruins. The cause of
the fire has not been definitely ascer-
tanned, but the long dry spell had Gre
ated conditions which caused the
flames to spread with great rapidity
from their source. Fire insurance
payments will total $4,000 900, shared
by between $50 and 800 insurance
companies. Despite certain handi-
caps, which under the circumstances
are inevitable for o time, the messag
