STINGIEST PERSON.
New York Mirror.
The stingiest person I know is a
man who uses Christmas seals on his
letters and doesn’t send any remit
tance.
The stingiest pen-on I know is my
boss. He sends ail his mail collect
so that he can save money,
The stingiest person I know is a
man in our office who comes to worlf
half an hour before the regular time
so that he can read the other fellow’s
newspapers at no expense to himself.
The stingiest person I know is a
gild who asks for my castoff hats and
then retrims them.
The stingiest person I know is a
boy of 1G years who wears short pante)
so that he can get into the movies at
Hhlf price.
Centuries ago it was quite proper
for a male admirer to present the lady
of his love with wearing apparel on
Christmas. For instance. in 1574
the Eeai'l of Leicester gave Queen
Elizabeth a chemise trimmed , with
gold lace at Christmas.
BY CHARLES P. STEWART.
NEA Service Writer
Washington—That the Gerald
Chapman case iij a queer one prob
ably nobody will dispute. If .Chap
man makes good hie refusal of
President Coolidge's pardon, m Order
that he may be hanged, it .will be
queerer yet. At the justice depart
ment they’re "haying they don’t be
lieve it's generally realized how ex
traordinarily queer, in that event, it
will become.
* « *
Here tfta situation:
Chapman is under schtenc* to 25
years in the Atladta penitentiary,
ne broke out, committed a murder —
was found guilty of it by a Con
necticut jury, anyway—am} sen
tenced to death. 'When he raised the
point that he was entitled to seive
out his 25 years in Atlanta first, it
temporarily was regarded as a joke.
Attorney .Qenera.l Sargent, however,
lookrfig into the matter, deckled it
wasn’t—that Chapman’s contention
wits sound.
• * •
Still, Sargent {bought he saw a
way out of the difficultly. The presi
dent could commute the Atlanta
sentence, to take effect immediately.
Then the Connecticut hangman could
get busy. Sargent so advised. The
presideut acted accordingly. But
Chapman refused to be set free—to
be hanged. Now the courts have got
to rule on his refusal. Unquestion
ably he will take the question, if
necessary, to the federal supreme
bench, which insures* his neck fOir a
year; or two. at least.
If the courts finally hold that a
pardon is something a convict can’t
turn down, that will eOd a peculiar
controversy and Chapman will
swing. 'Suppose, however, they hold
the other way. He becomes auto
matically, execution-proof for 25
years. True, he’H be returned to
Atlanta, .but he can escape, as he
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
did before. Then, for so long as >-j
relnains at liberty, np 'o the 25-
year limit, he can commit anything
he likes with impunity. He’ll bear a
charmed life.
UNUSUAL THINGS IN A
REAL HOLLYWOOD SHOW
Burr NieMe Offers Them In “Won

Would you like to see real “wild
men of Borneo?”
The Thieves’ Market of Mexico

walking barefoot across glowing beds

A thousand qther wonders of
primitive land and sea, taken by aif
expert picture-taker who possesses
the happy art of relating his ex
periences with humor and thrill?
This is the opportunity afforded
by Burr Nickle’s presentation of his
"Wonders of the Wilds” at the Con
cord Theatre today. »,
Thts.-pieture is a record of a two
years and a half expedition through
Mexico, the Pacific, the Far East,
the Dutch Indies and Straits Settle
ments, in which for the most part
Mr- Nickle was his own avant conr
rier, business manager, oameramail
and producer—a one-man cinema ex
pedition. rbom which Mr. Nickle (so
to speak) brought back the bacon.
On his return to the States Mr,
Nickle.assembled it and built it up
into jtie most original Hollywood
ehow on the West Coast, himself
telling the story of his travels. The
novel entertainment was a riot in
the Western country, ad Mr. Nickle
has now brought it East.
One move surprising thing: The
producer is as independent of the
railroads in America as he was in

shown that it is still possible to
break away from the conventionali
ties and bondages of Existence.
Wants Eight-Months School Term
Discussed.
Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 14. —t/P-—lt is
relatively unimportant to State Sup
erintendent of public Instruction A.
T. Allen which side of the question
of a state-vride eight months school
term is taken by individuals anh or
ganizations, so long as they discuss
the question. s
Commenting on the taken
Inst week by the North Carolina State
Farmers’ Union, which quit itself on
record as Opposing an increase in the
school term, Mr. Allen, who was out
Os town when the farmers’ organiza
tion adopted its resolutions, has de
clared since his return:
“I don’t care widen »'<;» they talk
bn, so long as they talk it.”
Mr. Allen feels that the more the
question is discussed, pro and con, the
more interested in the matter will the
people of the state become. Opposi
ties doesn’t worry him, it would be
.lack ofi interest that would cause him
real anxiety, lie suggested.

THE IDEA AT.
DUKE UNIVERSITY
■■ a «
Greensboro News. t _ <
The address of Prof. H- E. Silence,'
of Duke university, before'the his
torical society of the North Caro
lina conference, on "The Develop
ment op Duke University: Re
trospect and Prospect” (published
ip full now in the North Carolina ,
Christian Advocate), contains a
pointed paragraph devoted to some
cl the obvious difficulties facing
those who are guidmg the institu
tion. It includes this statement:
The institution will require and
demand the loyal suport of its alum
ni and the prayers of its patrons as
at no previous time. For there must
be definite aud far-reaching deci
ions made. The ship sails between
the desire for quality on the one
hand and quantity on the other, and
must reach the happy solution in
its refusal to cater opjy to the aris
tocratic clement either in social life
or intellectual life on the one hand
and in seeking the plebian patron
age of mere number cn the other.
Bearing on tills question Is the
statement attributed to President
Pew by Laurene Stallings in an
article in the Xew York World.
Stallifigx wanted to know something
about how large Duke university
would be in point of student enroll
ment- He wanted more than that of
couns. : lie was trying to g{t hold of
the ideal which the president | had
for the university, as to. how this'
business of creating a real univer
sity would be handled. He quotes
President Few as saying:
We do ndl want anything “bigger
ahd better.” It was Mr. Duke’s idea
that li.tMH) undergraduates was the
limit of a university’s rearfi, even
when we reach the peak of our in
come. Then *T thousand graduate
students and perhaps h thousand
women undergraduates in a co-ordi
rirtte college, such as Harvard main
tains at Radcliffe would finish 6ur
work. We are determined not to
have a big educational mill here.
It will be recognized that Presi
dent Few was talking in round num
bers. We are not inclined to lay
stress on the actual figures,* and we
doubt if President Few was. On a
guess, he was shaping an idea rather j
than counting heads. It is the idea
which counts. The difference be
tween 2.000 undergraduates and 2,500
or '*3.000 or Aore is a small matter
oominared with t'he difference be
tween the ideas of quality and of
quantity in'the building of a univer
sity. There has never been any doubt
here as to the spirit of tho«<e now
at work but it is satisfying to have
the expression clear and definite. If
President Few’s words are taken
literally and the number of students j
:« set at 4.0(H), Duke university |
will not be “big” in comparison with I
many of the giant universities of the
land. Rut it has a remarkable op
portunity somewhere in this striving
to fuse a soul which no one can af
ford to overlook, which no one will
ot' vein overlook..
Stallings threw the' talk over to
teachers, whereupon President Few
<>aid that. “When our various schools
ail'd departments are founded, all we
caii no is to ask the best men in the,
country to come here.” The term
"best men” needed elaboration.
Stallings sought it. Prtfrideift Few
thought that if it were a matter of
a law school under consideration he
might regard Dean Rascoe Pound, of
the Harvard law school, as fairly to
be classified in the group he had in
mind.
That name affords another ap
proach. Given the ideal here held up
and the emphasis upon teaching
leadership here noted, and given the
capacity to shape the ideal into a
concrete reality, the Duke university
in prospect 'becomes clearer. And
what a mark to shoot at!

BABIES ARE CHEAPER THAN
CATS, INQUIRY SHOWS
Twins Cost Only S2OO a Year, Bat
Pussy’s Bills Total $547 Annually
New York Mirror.
Cat or baby?
If it’s merely the matter of price
which is deterring you in you - decis
ion to addw feline or a hurnuii pet to
i your household activities, by all means
choose a baby.
IfJI save you money.
A cat is much more expensive, und,
besides, is much more bother than a
baby.
In fact, you may even indulge in
twins—and still be ku "the sunshine
side of the ledger.
-' Take the prize-winning pussy,
“Dresden Mirageson,” owned oy Mrs.
Mabel Hailey and her daughter, Elsie
Bailey, is hne of the dainty exhibits
in the Empire Cat Club Show in the
Park Avenge Hot<fl.
And then consider the twins of (he
household of Mrs. Engeliua Oliver,
•Mack and Sebastian,” seven months
old. No. 382 Water* Street. „
The Dresden kitty costs. Mi’s. Bail
ey of Lynbrook. !.. 1., who has a cat
tery and makes a specialty of cat
breeding, from $1 to $1 50 a day. The
twins cost 48 cents > day.
Jack and Sabestian nre not pam
pered as are the darl’ngs of the Em
pire Club Show, pillowed on the' ma
ternal bo.-oms of their owners. AH
little Jack and Sebastian Oliver need
are their four-hour feeding, clean/ lin
ens and clean clothes and their ilaily
baths. It did not even cost Mrs. Oli
ver anything to bring them into the
world. Tlie Henry- St. Hettlement
took care of them.
But the white fluff of the aristo
cratic cat lineage needs these things:
The best grade of eggs, one each morn
ing for breakfast, the best milk, aSid
fish and meat, and vegetables and
breads. The combs to keep the long
hair silky and free of snarls, and ex
pensive disinfectants, (jedding which
is laundered regularly every two
weeks, mattresses, imported enpsules
for cat intestinal troubles (4 for 50c)
all total at the end of a year to bout
$47.50. Afuid John’s and Sebastian’s
total expense would not run more than
S2OO for a year’s existence.
Four pills for Mrs. Bailey's I)res
! den prize winner would buy food for
John and Sebastian for one day. The
annual expenditure for pills for the
Bailey kitten would pay for the meals
for John and Sebastian for almost
half a month.
Os course, some cats' rearing is
cheaper. For instance, Mrs. Mar
garet Lovett’s cats—B of them—cost
her only $0 n week. *
An" the original cost of a blooded
cat is from SSO to S3OO. ■
j And many babies of New York cost
j their mothers nothing.
“Salisbury the Place” Sig:: is Taken
Down.
Salisbury Post.
The big electric sign that hung
over Council street near the South
ern passenger station anti which at
tracted attention if travelers on
the railroad and others who passed
that, way, either by vehicle or on
foot, proetiming to ail that "Satis
'btiry, the Place.” is.no mpre. or at
least not as a booster for' the city.
The big diamond shaped electric
sign was taken down this morning
by a force of linemen of the Public
Service company, which furnished
the lights for the same many years
free of cost. The sign, of wood and
metal. Ims been swinging across the
street many years, had become
weather-worn, was in dangerous con
dition ami was condemned by the
city.
The Chamber of Commerce was
instrumental in having the big city
booster erected and it is the property
of this organization. It will be in
spected and if ir cun be repaired
will be put up again at an early
date, otherwise it will be consigned
to the junk pile and steps probably
be taken to provide another big sign
to take its plpce.
At any rate this fine, attractive
e'eetric sign is a thing of the past,
at least for the present, and it will
hr missed.
