Bronson to Manage Warren
Marlen E. Pew, editor of Editor
and Publisher, said to be the oldest
publishers' and advertisers' journal in
America, has accepted an invitation
to address North Carolina editors, and
publishers at their third annual mid
winter Newspaper Institute which is
to be held here on January 11, 12, and
13.
Plans for the third Institute axe
maturing rapidly as the result of sev
eral conferences this fall between
members of the Executive Committee
of the Press Association and the Uni
versity representatives. . Indications
are that it will be the most largely
" attended and profitable meeting yet
held.
Topics relating to all problems of
the weekly and daily press have been
given a place on the program, and
the discussions will be led, for the'
most part, by North Carolina news
papermen!, -
Mr. Pew will deliver the principal
address at the annual banquet of the
Institute, to .be held on Thursday eve
ning, January 12, and is expected to
take part in some of the discussions.
His selection is regarded -as a big
stroke toward insuring the success of
the Institute. He is an excellent
speaker and has a background of ex
perierice; in every branch of newspa
per editorial and reportorial work.
which will be held this year and will
be presided over by Nash Johnston,
President of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association. Several important
matters will be discussed at this time.
Plans for the coming quarter will
be laid before the members. Members
for the deputation trip to Smithfield
which, will be taken shortly after the
next season starts will probably be
selected. ' ' This trip was planned for
this quarter, but was postponed un
til later. Several larger deputations
to the various towjis in the state have
been set for the next year. A quartet
and speakers will make the journeys.
The freshman group will probably
be given more opportunities for ser
vice on the campus. It.was this group
which had charge of the directing of
traffic at the Carolina-Virginia game
Thanksgiving. A precedent of former
years has been for the first-year group
to edit the "X-Hi-Y," a paper which
is sent to the Hi-Y clubs throughout
the state. Last year three editions of
the publication appeared, containing
information for prospective college
entrants. ' '
Automatic Phones

"On Next Saturday
cites "The Face on the Bar-Room
Floor."
Other specialties introduced during
the evening are quartette numbers by
J. P. Scurlock, W. L. Hunt, R. A.
Hovis, and S. S. Schorr; songs, dan
ces, and instrumental numbers by K.
W. Sears and W. Kessler; banjo nov

lina Bah jo Boys; popular songs by
E. S. Day; and saw and violin spec
ialties - by Misses Noel Walker and
Isabel Wenhold.
- The scenery, footlights and picto
rial embellishments were executed un
der ' the superintendance of Samuel
Selden by a corps of artists includ
ing Mary Dirnberger, and Messrs.
Adams, Johnson, Ashburn, Coxe, and
Constantine. Mr. Selden has appear
ed in' the play with various stock com
panies. :

James-Turner, Jr., did the illustra
tions for the program.
Delay
Caused by Rains and Snow
Storms of the Week.
Midnight of Saturday, December 17
that is, one week from tonight has
been set as the time when Chapel Hill's
automatic telephone system will go
' into operation. The new mechanism
was to be hooked up tonight; the in
door installations are all completed,
but the rain and snow storms inter
fered with the outdoor work and com
pelled the one-week postponement.
The dial instruments have been
placed in homes, stores and offices
through the village, and J. S. Bennett
is distributing copies of a little pam
phlet telling just how to call num
bers by the dial method. The sub
scribers are informed not only about
ordinary calls but what to do when
they want to call long - distance, to
give, the fire alarm, or to summon the
police. It is a rather simple pro
cedure and can be caught on to in a
few minutes. Many students of Chap
el Hill have already become familiar
with automatic telephones through
the use of those in Durham.
The directory is in process of be
ing printed at the Orange Printshop
and a copy of it will be given jto each
subscriber by Saturday of next week.
There is a special University list in
the book, separate from the general
list, and this and other duplications
bring the number of names to around
1,000. . '
Congaree Sketches
Read by Posey at
Thursday Reading
James Willis Posey of the English
department read selections from Con
garee Sketches at the well-attended
Bull's Head Reading Thursday after
noon in Murphey Hall. Mr. Posey
read his selections in true negro fash
ion, thoroughly duplicating the Gul
ler dialect.
"Swamps. of the Congaree" was the
first selection read by Mr. Posey. Fol
lowing this, "The Hopkins Niggers"
proved to Joe very entertaining, hav
ing its setting in heaven, with the
Hopkins nigger flying around among
the angels and Gabriel. Of course a
member of the Afrigan race could
not help getting entangled with the
Law--such was the case in "Judge
Fulburg." Ole Sister had many ex
periences while she encountered some
of her gossiping friends in humor
ous arguments, and while she was on
her visits to heaven and hell. She
was some character, but she didn't
fail to keep her head in all this hul
labaloo. . In "The Death Owl'' the
superstitious element was brought
out." "A Fool Nigger" was also a
humorous selection. Mr, Posey closed
with "A Negro Sermon."
The University press will have a
supply of Congaree Sketches by E. C.
L. Adams off the press in a few days
to put on the Christmas market.

EXCHANGE SPEAKERS
INSTEAD OF DEBATE
Grinnell, la.,'.. (By New Student
Service). Instead of - sponsoring in
tercollegiate debates, Grinnell Col
lege's forensic department is insti
tuting a system of exchange speakers
with, other colleges and universities.
Speakers, qualified In point of infor
mation and oratorical ability, will be
sent to other schools, there to discuss
student problems and other matters of
current interest. Effort will be made
to spread the system so that Grinnell
will likewise hear from other speak
ers. Students are expected to benefit
from their own representatives re
ports of methods employed by other
student bodies in the handling of their
problems. .

Less Than Average
"According to the report of Secre
tary of Labor James J. Davis to the
present Congress the average weekly
wage of the male worker is $31.48
and for the unskilled male worker
$24.49. According to the latest re
ports of the North Carolina Depart
ment of Labor and Printing the av
erage' daily wage for men in the North
Carolina cotton industry is $5.71 and
the low average for men $2.12. We
all know that the cotton industry, as
well as the tobacco, knitting and fur
niture industries of this state work
only a half day Saturday, making
five days and a half per week.
"That will give the average high
wage as $31.40 per week. That is
not so bad, but just where does our
Department of Labor draw the line
of demarcation between high and low
averages? And on which side of the
fence are the majority of the work
ers? My experience is that there are
far more receiving the low than the
high- On the same "basis the , low
average is $11.62 a week, or $19.82
less than the United States average
for skilled men, and $12.83 less than
the unskilled.
"We . must also consider the fact
that North Carolina's low average
helps to reduce the average for the
entire country."
Mr. Wilson quoted figures on the
wages received by workers in the
