Chapel Hill, Thanksgiving Day.— Three cities quartering great educa tional institutions have I visited this day and last night and I find within me on Thanksgiving Day a devout spirit of thanks for the vision of those men who first awaken the conscience of North Carolina to her educational needs: to those men and women who also caught the vision after it was pre sented by Charles B. Aycock and oth ers and continued the fight; and to ail Tar Heels who today are measur ing up so admirably to the opportuni ties and needs of the State. Greensboro, Durham and Chapel j Hill I visited in the order named w ith- 1 in tiic past 36 hours and it seemed particularly fitring to me that North Carolinians on this Thanksgiving Day l should take stock of their educational progress and give thanks for the priv ilege of contributing their tiiiie, money and talents to an educational system ! that provides opportunity to persons in every walk of life. In Greensboro last night tile North Carolina College for Women was lighted with a thousand lights and I was told that each light represented a room in which were housed two young women who at a minimum of cost were securing educational advantages second to none in the Southland. Ov- ( er vast acres stretch the buildings at | the normal and we should give thanks, that North Carolinians are willing and anxious in this era of moiley nt.ok I iug to devote valuable real estate and j other material things to an undertak- 1 ing primarily planned to create within the Stab' a more sensitive soul-j-a soul seeing the finer, gentler things, a sould finding happiness in service to others, a soul developed to the need of placing first things first. At Durham one feds a sense of awe when he surveys the plans for the Duke University of the future. When I was u student at Trinity College. „ we boasted of our material plant, chal lenging many educational institutions in the South to show u plant of great er merit. And now I try to realise • that this plant is to be but part of the greater institution which is to rear its head on the'old campus ex " temT its influence and ownership to . new acres aijd grow to a size equal to * any'in tile 'United States. However, despite Ihe millions that are available, Hnlimited power at id officials of the ting on with the incus that always ic of Trinity Ool p planning for an at will command tl)e world over, 1 same time are ioaai institution •is opportunities atsw of students. Ist expended for otfier millions r those i young men and young women who find . within their hearts a desire to ac quire an education but who. do pot find the money . necessary to pay all : their expenses. We should be thauk ( ful, certainly, for a spirit within the I State that refuses to be commercial j ized. Duke University not merely , aims at a plant that will equal any - thing in the United States. It aims at a system of eo-operation that will place millions of dollars at the dispos al of the youth of the State who seek culture, educational facts and com panionship that lead to broader lives and greater service. This has been a glorious day for the . University, a sort of informal home . coming day, thousands of the old stu dents being attracted to the scene of their academic life by the annual Virgiuia-Carolina game. Aud it seems to me that any visitor here must be 1 struck by the loyalty of the alumni , and undergraduates. They believe , not only in the University of their ac tivity ; they are just as confident that the institution will go on forever, playing : n the past an eveu more im portant part in the building of a lied i and greater Carolina than it has done 1 ill the past. Than tile University alumni there are no more loyal stu dents anywhere. They believe in the in stitution with which they east their 'ot and they have reason to be proud. During the past ten years, especially, the University of North Carolina lias grown with startling rapidity, in ma terial and educational ways both. The campus is filled with modern, com modious structures. There is dormi tory space here for hundreds of stu dents and there is a curriculum that is broad and elastic. Better ' still there is on this campus a spirit of loyalty to the ijjtate and the students take a peculiar pride in the fact that their university is the State Univer sity, It is a vital part of the State's resources and we should be thankful that it is just now at the point where it really can be of service to the new North Carolina. Thousands of persons are here for the aunual Virg : nia-Carolina game. From all sections of the State they have been attracted by the game rec ognized for years as the football clas sic of the year in this section of The State. Many of the former students of the University have succeeded bril liantly in the world for they came back to the game in handsome ears: others have not succeeded so well for they failed to sligjv sueli evidences of pros perity ; others are poorer than they were when here in school; but all showed a faith in their alma mater ; all walked about the campus with the same spirit of possession. All felt they Were a part in the great institu tion and the man without worldly goods was just as enthusiastic in his Millport for the Tar Heel team n> was the mall with the unlimited bank account. To all it was “my team" and ; that spirit is certain to carry forward! forever the influence aud work of the I University. \V. M. S. South Georgia Against l nifleatian. j Macon.

Pictures, laa II IV SYNOPSIS Connemara Moore promised tkai if the appeared at Aunt Celimena’s pari ty tonight with her hair bobhed, she would become engaged to Bingham Carrington. Otherwise sht would ac • cept SaltaMstall Cabot Adams. The guests—including the two suitors—are assembled, but Connie aggravates them by wearing a headdress that con ceals her aubutn head. The decision must be ade known before midnight or her aunt will disinherit her. And the minute* are flying by — rapidly. CHAPTER ll—Continued “Oh, my dear Mr. Brewster, you’ve never known any woman except Miss Celimena, which mis leads you frightfully. Os course, it’s because she has decided that , Connemara is so' frightened now. Busily pushed from behind by her f mnt and her aunt's lawyer, she has shut her eyes, jumped over the ( precipice—and then—well, behold ! her hanging by a slender branch.” Mr. Brewster seemed unaffected , by the picture. “She will have to Jrop before twelve o’clock,” he said. “But that’s nearly three hours I .way,” mused Miss Glenn. “And o many things can happen in three ours.” “As for instant* ?” “Well, the world might come to 1 end at 11:30. Or Miss Celimena ight weaken. 1 ’ “I agfee with you,” said Mr. Srcwster, “that those two events re likely to occur at about the ime time.” “Or a beathiful young ruffian ight step out of the syringa buxhes id carry her 6ff in his arms.” “I should think,” said Mr. Brews “l would like to know what U .der that headdress of yours.” :r, “that she would rather prefer cashing on the rocks below.”\ “L told you,” retorted Miss Glenn, that you had never known any voman except Miss Celimeha." Meanwhile, this good lady, along vhose path in life the syringa •ushes had given forth nothing but i refined fragrance, was restlessly m the prowl. The dances at Moore ands had begun at 8:30 in her fouth, and they still began at 8:30 tven if she alone was ready at that tour. Usually she drifted on the fringe ►f the dance floor, indicating with a •killful shoulder blade and an expert •yebrow that the daughters of her old neighbors were disporting them telves in an unseemly manner. But this evening she was alive to lotting but the discomfort caused ty the fact that, partly through her awn unacknowledged fault, the feace of Moorelands was disturbed iy the rowdy commotions of me!o- Irama. The heroine of this gaudy play liras dancing with simple earnest sess. As the orchestra paused for fcreath and just as the two suitors Srere starting to waste theirs on the ridden ears of Connemara, her aunt Advanced upon her formidably, de tached her from some limber but j locially negligible partner, and led itpr to the veranda. A young ind afWtionate couple, who had re treated to its shadows in response • lo some primeval the approach of a family scene and scuttled obligingly into the house. , Connemara, outwardly serene in • the mild garb of the nun, sat on the rail of the veranda, leaned her se eretive head against its weather beaten pillar and looked out across ''the acres that could be hers at the drop of a hat—or at least of a ban deau, cap, and veil., The fire lies were doing their best to make Moorelands seem festive.

T.' uies. when I list officer ttta-uvfrrd the peculiar imprint of . a Brel'in u - J ii ' -’stt so away there was a faint glow w , the sky. That was Stamford. Nearer by there was an ocacsioital twinkle in the darkness—one of thS several battered farmhouses wheril tenants had once toiled for old Dan? iel Moore, bttt which had been tak- - en over of late years by refugees from the pueblb cliffs of New York. The once orthodox countryside dotted with something tike peasan try that had doffed respectful hats j to young Miss Celimena as shs drove smartly along the roads ii her 'shining phaeton, was now in fested with a strange riffraff of col umn conductors, feminist agitators* comediennes, and music critics These not only did doff their hats; they didn’t wear any. ' And ev*» Miss Celimena knew that the pre tentious names which adorned theii reclaimed cottages were affixed in derision of that delusion of grandeui which had possessed her revered father when, filter accumulating his Tortune, he turned ducal on a sur- J prised neighborhood and named hil • estate Moorelands—for all the world ] as though it were a shooting boi 1 in Devonshire. Thus one of these new neighbors ] had named his tottering cottage i “The Ricketts” and another—a bril- ] liant young Jew from Harvard— i had sardonically hung ont a sig» ] which announced to the offended ( Miss Moore that the name of hil house was “The Hebrewst.’i. “My dear Constance,” her aunt ] began in a tone—which suggested < that by “dear" she meant “expel j sive.” i “Yes, aunt.” “You are so like your dear mothei j tonight. She could never merely i come into a room. She always had j to make what that actor friend ol 1 yours cal’s an entrance.” “Yes, aunt.” There was a pause. Miss vHi meua broke it. “I would like to \ know what is under that headdre*- 1 of yours.” “Thought*, Aunt Celimena.” 1 “What a change!” observed hei , aunJ gloomily. “I think a penny J would be an exorbitant charge foi i them.” Connemara chuckled. “You’r.- i quite right,” she admitted cheer J iplly. “I was thinking as it hap- ( 'pens about that Mrs. Buxton whe ] go* into one of your luncheons by < mistake. That Mrs. Malaprop. Yot ! remember. She was the one whe said her daughter had gone to j masquerade in the garbage of i nun.” There was another pause—aj acrid pause. This time it Was tin old grandfather's clock in the has which broke it. Both of then counted as its sweet bell rang te« times. “Well,” said Miss Celimena gathering her shawl about herT“yol have two hours in which to indulgi yourself in this fiddle-faddle, pose it would be asking a good dea! to expect any one of your genera tion to repay a lifetime of affectioi by a little courtesy, but it would add to my somewhat impaired en joyment of this party if you would assure me that you intehd to takt off that contraption before you heii that clock strike twelve.” “I promise, aunt,” she said, and added speculatively, “before I heai that clock strike twelve.” Miss CeKmena’s resentful skirti swished against the French window and Connemara was alone on thi veranda. The orchestra had sub sided with a final snort and the only sound came from the lawn, whete > sprinkler whirred in the darknest or from across the hedge" where a streak of light told of some automo bile heading for Stamford and New j York. The night air was sweet with syringa. And at that moment ont of thosi 1 cars slowed down and stopped— stopped alongside the road as if it* driver had begun to have suspicion* ! about its internals and was mindef < to peer under its hood. That, as a matter of fact, was just what ha 4 happened, and when young David , Lacy finally straightened up he wat j aware that sonaeone had stepped out i of the darkness and was standing ii J the dusk that lay beside the part i of light his lamps weft making.
