I V. P. I. Hai Nothing on Carolina. During the winter season, when attempting to get a nice, hot shower, we are frequently reminded of the soldiers in the trenches who remark ed, "The parson says cleanliness is next to Godliness; I'll say it's next to impossible." The users ,i Tech's showers (and we trust this generali sation includes the entire corps) will undoubtedly agree with us that a really satisfactory bath has, this win ter especially, partaken more or less of the nature of a miracle, to be spoken of afterwards with awe and longing. The usual procedure is some what as follows: First, test the tem perature of the water with the hand; if found comfortable, remove bath robe and get under; the investiga tor may then get more or less com pletely soaped, when a sharp drop in the temperature curve will indi cate an unbalancing of the system and lead to a hasty termination of the observations. Should the prelim inary temperature test prove unsatis factory, the experimenter will prob ably mutter a few imprecations, draw his bathrobe closely about him and take to the open air in search of a luckier division, at risk of catching cold. The Virginia Tech. N. C. C. P. N. S. Queen's College, Charlotte, N. C. The Y. W. C. A. entertained the stu dent body at a Valentine party on Saturday evening, February 11th. The Valentine decorations were used and many novel games were played. The Y. W. C. A. always entertains the boarders several times each year and this was the annual spring en tertainment. The party was in every way a big success. Meredith College, Raleigh, N. C. Mr. C. C. Gorst, eminent nature lover, lectured to the faculty and stu dents of Meredith on Saturday even ing, February 4, on the subject of "Birds." This was an especially in teresting and unique lecture, " Mr. Gorst imitating perfectly the songs and calls of many species of birds. He also gave two very charming whis tling solos. " - An edition of The Twig, sacred to the memory of Miss Evelyn Camp tell, dean of women, who died in the college infirmary, December 23, was issued last week. The Acorn is also to publish a memorial edition soon. Although only one game was won by the Lenoir team, it showed up equally in every way to the opposing teams. First Year Medical Class Elects Officers For Year M. L. Stone was elected president of the first year class in medicine in its class election Friday morning. Dr. Mangum gave the class fifteen minutes in which to hold the election and urged them to act at once, tell ing the members that they had made a mistake in waiting so long.0 A. C. Norfleet was elected vice president, and Cathryne -Cross was unanimously chosen secretary and treasurer of the class. In the election of president Stone won out over E. V. Benbow and F. P. Hunter on the first ballot. BOY SCOUT ENJOY BIG H. D. Farrell, Scoutmaster, and Mr. Lawrence Make Talks Celebrate 12th Anniversary of Movement. On Friday night, February 10, the Chapel Hill troop of the Boy Scouts of America, under the leadership of H. D. Farrell, celebrated the 12th anniversary of the movement, in a parent-scout banquet at the Y. M. C. A. The program for the meeting, at which more than 20 parents of the scouts, as well as the entire troop of Chapel Hill, were present, includ ed a general survey of scout activi ties, a talk by the troop leader, H. D. Farrell, and a talk by the Rev. A. S. Lawrence of the Episcopal church. Mr. Farrell urged that the scouts turn the practice of doing a good turn each day to a real service in their homes, and urged the parents to give the boys something useful as a box of carpenter tools, when giving them presents, and thus let them have an incentive to make them selves useful and handy around the house. Mr. Lawrence talked to the scouts about the three balanced points o the oath; physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. He told the joke about the man who desiring to have the entire passenger car to himself, made the remainder leave by a false order, then setting back in his privacy he waited for the train to leave; after awhile when the car failed to move, he hailed a passing employee of the railroad, asking him the trouble, he was told to his dismay that the car had been left. Thus he failed to be successful in his attempt; because he succeeded in gaining his seat through a method that was not morally straight, and having once at tained his object, his mentality be came dull. - " ' This banquet of the scouts was a real get-together affair,' and shows well what the troop here at Chapel Hill is doing. Older Scouts in col lege, who once enjoyed the fun of real scout life, should avail themselves of the opportunity to attend these scout meetings and interest them selves in the activities. Mr. Farrell states that such men are always wel come and desired. STUDENT FORUM WARNER ADVISES ' n FUTURE CHARGES In accepting the position of ad visory football coach at Leland Stan ford university Glen Warner im pressed upon his future charges the advisability ' of keeping in condition all year round. "To be in shape for the gridiron season player9 should be active in other branches of sports" he said. He suggests that slow men go out for the track team, clumsy men for the tennis and field teams, men de ficient in forward ' pass " tactics for baseball, and backs for the discus, javelin and weight throwing events. : ' The institution of such methods, Warner states, would do-away with a great deal of the useless drilling now included in early season pro grams at most gridirons. i ' , , About the Magazine. Dear Mr. Editor: As one who reads the Carolina Magazine and the Tar Heel as a loyal Carolina man should, I have noticed and regretted the policy of the two editors in using their editorial col umns for the purpose of knocking and slinging mud at each other, when they could have spent their time in a more profitable manner, very prob ably. - Feeling relieved when the verbal war seemed' to have ended, I thought to enjoy the publication as formerly. But; after the last two very creditable issues of the Magazine I was some what surprised at seeing articles iv The Tar Heel by a discerning young literary light, informing us undiscern ing that while the Magazine had a few good points, it abounded in bad ones, and that the editorials were dangerous and nothing but Bolshe vism or some other sort of "ism." This writer seems to be obsessed with a desire to serve and enlighten his fellow students. Consequently, as an outlet to his instructive in stincts he has taken the position as self-appointed critic of the Magazine. It is indeed amusing to see how seri ously he takes himself and his duties as literary mentor of the campus. To read his criticisms one would think that tome great critic had ap peared in our midst to review the Magazine for us and tell us what is good in it, or rather, bad. He writes learnedly of the literary value of this article, or that sketch. He states that another has too many colorful descriptive adjectives, and that this editorial shows a lack of true insight into campus affairs. While we all ap preciate his; efforts in our behalf, it is amusing to read what the article says about the non-existence of the fraternity problem or about the com ing elections. His statements show an astonishing amount of misinfor mation, probably due to the fact that he has been here only one quarter. To some smug, self-satisfied fratern ity men, there is no problem, but to the non-fraternity men, and to every lover of the University there most certainly is one. It would seem that our critic is either a fraternity man or is doing his darndest to boot one. L. H. Moore. Expert School Architects LINTHICUM & LINTHICUM 117 Martin St., Raleigh, N.

ITEMS OF INTEREST AT THE PICKWICK Dr. H. W. Odum, Dr. Harry W". Crane, and J. F. Steiner had a con ference at the state hospital at Ral eigh Friday with Dr. Anderson and Dr. Cotton of New York. They dis cussed the care and treatment of the Prof. M. C. S. Noble, dean of the School of Education, was in Nash ville, Tenn.j Monday and Tuesday of this week. The object of his go ing was ta attend a conference on industrial education. The A. I. E. E. society had a meet ing last Thursday evening' and had several talks by" members. The so ciety is planning to 'have a smoker some time this ' week at which ar rangements will be" made to have a spring" dance. ' '' The social committee did not hold its regular meeting Friday evening on account of several members par ticipating in the debate finals at the same time. The committee is still anxious for suggestions. They are withholding their' recommendations until more suggestions are received from the student body. Harold Lloyd in another one of his super-comedies, "The Sailor-made Man," will appear at the Pick on Wednesday evening. This picture, in many ways, is a decided departure from the star's style. That is to say, instead of being the brunt of the jokes and mishaps, he is the per petrator. Hal Roach directed this four-reel production and Mildred Davis is as pretty as ever, and there is an alluring harem scene for those who have an eye for feminine pul chritude. Anyone who has been in the navy will get an especial num ber ef laughs out of the touches of "jackie" life aboard a steamship. The boy had twenty million dol lars and he had so much nerve that it made his money look like a Sun day school collection. When her father told him that to win the girl he'd have to go to work, he applied at the first place he saw a navy recruiting station. His ship and the private yacht the girl and her father and a party, were cruising in, parked on the edge of a South Sea island, and while they were on shore leave gathering anything useless they could find for souvenirs all the excitement took place. When Douglas Fairbanks filmed "The Three Musketeers," he fulfilled the ambition of his life. Undoubtedly no vehicle is so typically Fairbanksian or offers so fine an opportunity to play upon the entire gamut of things histrionic as does this, his sixth United Artists Production, which will be shown at the Pick on Thursday even ing. The film version of "The Three Musketeers" is based not only upon the famous novel of Alexander Du mas, but also upon the memoirs of D'Artagnan himself. For those who have read the story this photoplay will have as great appeal, because it is a perfect plot, standing on the firm foundation of drama and comedy based on fact. It is a play in which the expected never happens. Kings and queens and royal personages are given human attributes that will long .endear them to the hearts of those who see the picture. The dominat ing impression is that the thing is real. One million dollars was spent in its production. , Richard Barthelmess, the hero of "Way Down East" will come to the screen of the Pick on Friday even ing in his first starring vehicle, pro duced by First National. It is doubt ful whether another story could have been found so perfectly suited to the peculiar talent of this gifted young actor as Joseph Hergesheimer's "Tol' able David." r ' It is a simple story of homely peo ple, the rugged rural folk that form, the backbone of our civilization, and Barthelmess plays the role of David,' the youhgest of the little family. ' He is a clean, strong-limbed lad with a deep reverence for his home and his community. Over the calm serenity of this peaceful life a cloud passes; then tragedy breaks in and almost en gulfs the once happy family; the father dies, the elder brother is stricken helpless' by a brutal outlaw, and David, the youth, becomes David, the man. That scene when like the David of old he slew a mighty Go liath, avenging the honor of his fam ily and ridding the community of a cringing menace ! The appeal of the thing is tremendous! It is one of the pictures that will live. The Crime of Not Insuring! YOU ARE GUILTY! If you allow your father to spend thousands of dollars to edu cate you and do not protect him against death ; If you have married and have no protection for your wife; If you have borrowed money to come to college and have no protection for your creditors; If you can carry your protection but put it off until you can't get it.
