READY FOR ITS OPENING START SOON ON NEW BUILDINGS OF UNIVERSITY New West Reconstruction and Phillips Hall Wing Are First on Schedule 8 Mens Dress This is the season when I feel the urge to counsel the world once again about dress And my already lively interest in the subject receives an additional stimulus just now from an editorial in the New York TimesT i The occasion of the editorial wks the return from Washington of a New Yorker who expressed the wish tha't his fellow citizens had the courage and good sense to wear the white or light-colored Chich he had observed in the seeds came up quickly both because of the care taken to obtain the proper kind Of soil and because of the use of a vigorous fertilizer Along with the planting shoots of hardy wire grass taken from fields in and around the village were -worked into the ground Thus far the growth is visible only on the central section of the arena the (tart where the playing will take place but the outer area near-erthe stands now been planted and within a so the whole expanse wil( be green The contractors are almost reaily to begin placing the wooden seats These are of Douglas1 fir said to be the most durable kind of lumber They will rest on iron brackets sunk fast into the concrete The wooden seats are half the width of the concrete steps so that every spectator will have ample room for his feet behind the person in front of him The foqndations of the field house at the south end of the field have been laid and the construction of this unit will proceed apace It is here that the competing teams will have their dressing rooms lockers and shower baths and that quarters are to be provided for meetings of officials and for the storage of athletic equipment The walls (Continued os page tix) or Chapel Hill Chaff Somebody called me on the phone the other day and said: Well I see that they are advertising your property for sale for unpaid And so it turned out is hereby so ran the introductory paragraph of the full-page the undersigned sheriff of Orange county will sell for cash the following lots of land for theyear 1926 on Monday September the 5th at the court house door in Hillsboro at 12 o'clock And then followed a long list in' which I found the entry Louis 1 lot $14873" Which sum I had pah) with a sensation of profound pain many months An indignant letter to the sheriff brought the reply that this was an error for which he expressed contrition I have been wondering how many more errors there were in the list It is seine consolation to find myself in such illustrous company A-mong the other names in the list are Venable Paul Weaver Woollen Bain and K- Trabue I fancy the sheriff has had to send out a lot of apologies Collier Cobb is absorbed in the task of arranging the equipment and material in his new geological laboratory in the New West building is the best geological laboratory in the he told me Wednesday when I ran across him in the post-office are others larger but none better When I came here in 1891 Mr Winston who was about to assume the presidency of the University told me that a geology building was the first on his expansion program Year after year passed and no provision was made for my department I said to one president after another 'the earth is my laboratory and I suppose I can get along But he is pleased to have adequate quarters at last capital- He was told in reply that the climate was much cool er in the metropolis than on the Potomac and Washington fashions in clothes would be uncomfortable and conspicuous The tinea's observations are in substance as follows: Many summer days are as hot in New York as in Washington but New Yorkers have never been willing to admit this and so have been slow to adopt the Southern custom of wearing suits made of the thinnest and lightest material There has been some change for the better in recent years For example waistcoatless man though still frowned upon by the stylish is a common Shirts with soft collars are to be seen everywhere thin suits are much in evidence and the general tendency is toward health (Comfort and sanity The fact that the lighter shades of clothing easily become soiled Is not the only circuntanco that Now York men from wearing them New Yorker is so afraid of doing something out of the ordinary that even if he hod the clothes he would not dare to wear them in An alternative is to go coatless This is permitted In many offices but the coatless man must be belted he wears suspenders he is almost guilty of just why no one has yet ever been able to Furthermore he may be coatless only while at work should he wish tQ go to a meal or to a movie show without a coat he would run the risk of being thrown out Somebody called me not long ago original A1 Smith Continued on page three) Automobile parties have been streaming into the village to see the Kenan Stadium since the news went out that the structure was completed Of course the word completed is not to be taken literally for considerable work remains to be done but the two concrete stands are up and the playing field is graded and shows a rich growth of grass More than fifty cars bearing the license tags of various cities and towns were parked along the roads near the enclosure at one time Tuesday the talk in my home town is a good said a man from Morganton these 24000 seats will lie filled at the Virginia game on Thanksgiving Day About a dozen of us-came down two years ago and heard at least a hundred say they are coming this year Their eagerness is stimulated by what they have been told a-bout the seating arrangements anybody who buys a tick et is sure to get a good view It seems to me there be much squabbling for the privi lege of sitting opposite the 50-yard line From the curve of this stand I feel as if I'd about as lief sit at the end as in the There were many expressions of astonishment that the grass had got such a good start The Weaver Installs a Pasteurizing Plant New klariiinerr in Operation at the Oak Gruva Dairy C'II Weaver has built a pasteurizing plant at his Oak Grove Dairy four miles northeast of Chapel Hill and he is inviting the people of the village jo come out and see it The plant including the brick bfiilding and the equipment represents an investment of about $10000 In the main room are a great vat where the pasteurizing is done a machine for the production of lactic acid milk a series of coils for cooling and a bottling machine In one corner of the building is a refriger ating rooifl and adjoining this is a laboratory for the daily testing of milk A person not familiar with modern dairy practice is mystified when he enters the place but an expert Thomason is on hand to explain all the various processes Mr Thomason took a two-year course in chemistry and bacteriology at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh and he has been in charge of plants at Raleigh New Bern and Greenville lie shows you thermometers and thermostats used in regulating the heat the nickel lining of the containers and pipes and the coding devices he explains ho the milk goes through the piant without human handling and he gives a demonstration of how the bottles are mechanically filled and sealed Bishop Cheshire's Books When Bishop Cheshire was here Saturday he told of a collection of books published In Revolutionary days which Wilson' had obtained from him for

18-feet-wide concrete strip on this stretch the town government joined in with the highway commission and did additional paving of its own The whole width was concreted as far as the corner by the old Baptist church and from there on westward were built two roadways with a dirt space left between this presumably was to be planted with grass shrubs and trees Now some of the people who own property facing on the street think that the middle space should also be paved Foreseeing the development of West Franklin street' for business purposes they say that the public Interest will be better server1 by a hard surface from curb-to-curb They say too that the placing on the state map of the new Nelson-to-Grahara route will sd4ncrease the volume of traffic as to make the entire street width necessary
