Subscription Price. $1.50 Per Year, Payable in Advance or During the First Term Single Copies, 5 Cento AN APPRECIATED APPROPRIA TION In behalf of the University the Tar Heel thanks the 1917 Legisla ture, the Appropriations Commit tee in general, and in particular Senator Holderness and Represen tative Gray for giving to the Uni versity the requested appropria tion. Senator Holderness, accord ing to the State papers, was es pecially active in making the bond issue, including the $165,000 ap propriation to Carolina, a reality. He. and the other members of the committee, have done a deed which will doubtless be a source of fu ture pride and prosperity to the Ftate and which will always keep warm for them a spot in the hearts rf all lovers of Carolina. Lives there a man with soul so dead ; Who never to himself hath said : "If I were in that batter's place I'd swat a homer into space!" There is only one thing a col lege student never tries to do: to find out what this mysterious thing really i3 that he is spending four years hunting for and that we call education. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AND SMOKE Since 1892 many changes have taken place on the Carolina cam pus; but the passage of a quarter of a century has not caused the percentage of smokers at the Uni versity to vary a single unit. . In 1892 forty-three per cent of the student body smoked; in 1917 forty-three per cent smoke, ac cording to statistics found in the 1892 Hellanian and last 'week's Tar Heel. Furthermore, then sev enteen per cent chewed ; now 19 per cent chew. Practically no dif ference! After twenty-five years the contest between Bull Durham and the Y. M. C. A., between Prince Albert and football, base ball and track pledges, has resulted in a tie. -Perhaps, after all, our 1892 brothers were not very different from our 1917 selves. Here are some other interesting . statistics from the 1892 Hellenian. . Own dress suit, 23 per cent. . Carry watch, 66 per cent. Favorite novel, I vanhoe. Favorite poet, Tennyson, ; Favorite study, ,Math. Most boring study, English. Ever engaged, 26 per cent. . Expenses here per year, $357. .Wear glasses, 11 per cent. Number of hours study per day, 6. . (Freshman Massey waxing elo quent in debate)-". ... and it was in those days of the revolution when our forefatherg shed their blood on the Rocky Mountains." Er win-Barton Wedding Live Oak, Fla., 'March 12. A simple but withal a very beauti ful wedding was solemnized at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Satur day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, when Miss Haffye Louise Barton, of this citv, and Mr. W. A. Er win, Jr., of West Durham, N. C, took their marriage vows. Owing to the fact that it was Lent, the wedding was a very quiet affair, the immediate mem bers of the two families and a few intimate friends being invited, and the only attendants being Miss Cimmie Barton, the maid of hon or, and Mr. Frank Drew, Jr. , groomsman. The decorations of the church were in keeping with the season and the only decorations used were the lovely White Killarney roses that adorned the altar, and a few potted plants. Just preceding the ceremony, Mrs. James P. McCall, Jr., sang At Dawning, by Camden. . At the appointed time the bridal party entered the church to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Miss Elizabeth Bardin. First came the ushers, Messrs. W. Bishop and N Herbert White, then the maid of honor, Miss Cimmie Barton, sister of the bride, immediately following came the bride leaning upon the arm of her father, who gave her in mar riage. They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Frank Drew, and the Rev. Curtis Grubb, who read the im pressive ring service in perform ing the ceremony. - The bridal party left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march and left immediately over the Sea board for Palm Beach where they will spend their honeymoon. Mrs. Erwin is the eldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Barton, and her girlhood days have been spent here with the exception of the last few years, which time has been very profitably spent away at school. Beside being a student at the Castle School, at Tarry town, N. Y., for two years, she attended the Misses Timloe's se lect school at Washington, gradu ating from that institution last summer. Her parents have been residents of this city for a num ber of years and Mr. Barton has been foremost in all undertakings that tended to the upbuilding of this city, and while he has large business interests elsewhere, he maintains a handsome home here. Mrs. Erwin is the grand-daughter of Mrs. E. J. Hayes, of Greenville, Fla., and is a member of one of the old families of that portion of the State. Mr. Erwin, though a compara tive stranger here, is a young man of sterling worth. He was a stu dent of the University of North Carolina for three years, and has the reputation of being a rising young man in the business world. He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Erwin, of West Dur ham N. C. Mr. Erwin, Sr., is largely interested in the famous Erwin Cotton Mill,s of West Dur ham, and Mrs. Erwin is the daugh ter of the founder of St. Mary's College at Raleigh, N. ' C, and their son is a worthy descendant of his ancestors. After spending two weeks at Palm Beach and other east coast resorts, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin will go to their home at West Durham, where Mr. Erwin will engage in the cotton mill business. D. T. Stutts, '15, is now teach ing at Nealsville, N. C. Mr. Henry Ford will employ ex-convicts but will not employ men who smoke cigarettes. A Function in Arkansas "Every once in a whlie, of a Saturday night during the winter, when the presiding elder is about due or there is else something spec ial on hand, we hold a right live ly function at our house, when our fourteen children take a bath in a tub beside the kitchen stove," confessed Mr. Gap Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge, Ark. "They sort er divide up in bunches, the big boys in one squad, the big girls in another, and the little boys and little girls . in their respective classes. When they have all jawed theirselves into their own gangs there is a deafening rannakaboo over which squad shall hit the tub first, each bunch, mindful of the trials and tribulations before 'em, argying that they ort to come last After about an hour of jowering business begins. "None of 'em are presizely deathly quiet about it, but 'pears like the little boys have the most fun. But, anyhow, all the even ing the house shakes and rattles with the shivers of them that are bathing, them that have just bath ed and them that are anticipating the holocaust, till an innocent by stander would imagine that an earthquake was being pulled off. And the yelling and cussing and complaining can be heard for half a quarter up and down the road on a still, cold night. Eh-yah! cleanliness is. next to : godliness, and 'pears to bo just about as painful." , You do not have to "learn book-keeping and other details necessary to a business man by mail" any longer. Professor James of the department of Civil Engi neering, is to give a non-credit course on these subjects on Tues days and Thursdays -at 12:30 This course, while it cannot be counted as "hours" to graduate on, includes several subjects all-important to the business man. Sev eral have signed up for the course. There is no fee to University stu dents. You can register with Prof James or Dr. Wilson, i n ':, TH thoughtless talker is like a blank cartrid ge.

Post master R. S. McRae has just re ceived a letter to this effect from the postmaster general at Wash ington, D. C. Work will probably begin on the new building immed iately upon the clearing of the lot. It will cost approximately $50,000. F, O. Clarkson Lds Y, M. C. A. Discussion At the weekly Y. M . C. A. meeting Tuesday night, Francis Clarkson led one of the most in teresting discussions of the year. Ho took for his subject the life of Robert E. Lee, and very ably told of the life of this man, his relig ious life, and his life of service, as a gentleman and as a Christian. He classed him as one of the fore most generals of the World, rank ing in the class with Washington and Napoleon, and very interest ingly compared him to the generals in tho present world war. Rev. Walter C. Erdman, of Ko rea, will visit the Student Volun teer Band of the University next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Those who desire to do so mav obtain interviews by seeing his Secretary, T. E. Rondthaler. t DANCING LESSONS THE ONE-STEP (An extremely difficult dance, requiring many weeks to practice.)
