"Difl*you stop at the Ritz hotel?”
asked the old lady of the bus driver.
"No, ma'am, not on my pal,” Was ,
the reply.
“Have you been a dentist very
long?”
i “No, I was a riveter till I got too
nervous to work np high.”
"Isn't it funny t’aat most of the
pien in the first row are bald?”
"No, most of the bought their tick
ets from a scalper.”
Old Scrooge was entertaining a call
er. and after an hour's rather dry
talk he turned to his caller a
smile. “Would you like something
to buck you up—a colling draught,
Henry ?”
"Well, 1 don’t mind if I do.”
“Good!” said the old miser. “Help
me open this window. There's a grand
breeze blowing.”
Employer—Aren't yon the boy Who
applied for this position two weeks
ngo?
i Boy—Yes, sir.
i Employer—And didn't I say I want
ed an older boy?
■ Boy—Yes, sir; that's why I'm herb
now.
“Do you expect to make a living
as an architect?”
“Well, I am making plans for that
end.”
Patron, to second-hand dealer—See
here, I want my money back; this

Chapel Hill, Oct. 6.—Chapel Hill,
the seat of the University of North
Carolina, has 44 men listed in the

the university fa-catty. No other
town in the state has a larger rep
resentation, but Raleigh, the state
capital, has an equal number, and
the majority of these are state offi
ellrf.
This means that approximately 25
per cent of the university faculty are
listed in “Who's WW’ and indicates
the high quality of the teaching
staff and its recognised importance.-
It is also convincing evidence that
southern colleges and universities
are claiming their share of the lead
er* in American educational, scienti
fic, and literary .circles.
“Who's Who” is a biographical dic
tionary of American notables and is
generally accepted as the best guide
ip determining the great and near

It is interesting to note that the
members of the University faculty
included in the list are for the most
part professors who have been here
for years—many of them since their
