Visit Our New Humidor and See How Meditations Are So Perfectly Kept. Leathers, Wood & Co. Distributors Greensboro TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THE HOME TOWN FEE MONEY SAVED BY U. N. C. AT THE PICKWICK New System of Making Student Pay For What They Damage Profit able to University. The abolishment of the annual damage fee of $2.00 required of each student and the installation of the ten.ant-land.Igrd system whereby each student Is responsible for damage in curred in his room, is saving the University considerable expense this year. According to rough estimates of Mr. Birch, the loss from breakage of windows and furniture thus far is barely one-fourth of that of last year at the same date. The reason The attraction at the Pickwick next Saturday, the 12th, will be Anita Stewart in a First National production, "Sowing the Wind." The ever-increasing popularity of Miss Stewart and the assurance that this is one of the best starring vehicles provided for her would indicate that the audience will be due for a full measure of diversified entertainment. In "Sowing the Wind" an unusual story is unfolded ii concerns an innocent convent giri who goes out into the bleak world only to discover that her mother is the keeper of a notorious gambling house. Her strug gles to get away from the possi bility of emulating her mother, her subsequent meeting with the man she loves and finally the locating for this surprising change is perfect- of her father comb'ne to make a ly apparent. . For a long time the students have story of unusual thrills. A cast of particular importance supports the star. Ralnh Lewis. Jimmie Morrison been curious to know just in whose Myrtle Stedman and William V. pockets the damage fee money ulti- Mong stand out prominently in their mately rested. As far back as the characterizations, time of President Swain, when that' William De Mille's production of venerable gentleman was whisked Edward Knoblock's beautiful story, around the campus on a new, high-i "The Lost Romance," featuring steDDine horse, the bovs would know-! Conrad Nagel, Lois Wilson and Jack Tick' ingly wink and utter "Ah, damage, fee money." However, statistics have proved that the total damage each year has been " considerably greater than the damage fee money. Last year the total damages amount ed to over $3,000, several hundred more than the money obtained by the individual f 2.00 fee. It is human nature to get all pos sible benefit from a purchased ar ticle. Heretofore the students have been obliged to buy$2.00 worth' of damage; nence tney considered they were entitled to the privilege of breaking $2.00 worth of University property. They had no conscience pricks about it; it was purely a mat ter of business. However, many boys outstepped their bounds and broke more than their allotted $2.00 share, thus causing the yearly loss. Al.-o when some careless student heaved a ball, brick, or whatnot through a 'dormitory window in the presence of otheri, no one took it upon himself to report the culp-it, for '.hey considered the action ii's inalienable right. Under the new system, the stu dent's attitude has changed. For now, each individual student is directly responsible for all damage occurring in his room, which he must pay ior or take tne consequences. Also he is held guilty regardless of whether he committeed the damage or not, unless he can satisfactorily prove that another individual was re sponsible. Thus under the new arrangement, the students have been more con siderate ol the University property. The mysterious lisrht on Brown realizing that broken windows and mountain in Burke county, which hag furniture means a depletion of their . puzzled scientists for several years own personal funds. Again either leading to many and varied theories their sense of honor or more likely as to its origin, is a mystery no long their love of the "filthy lucre" hasier, if the explanation of the Ameri made them readier to report those can Meteorlogical Society bulletin guilty of damaging property in their! has the correct solution. nwn Tnnm T f 1 i ' ' vug xcacui ivw rum of damage is kept up the University Holt, will be presented at the on Monday evening. The story deals with two men, who fall in love with the same girl. The romance unfolds at the home of Aunt Betty, who has been disappointed in love in her younger days.

Then the child :f the wedded pair disappears and in her anxiety, the mother forgets her new love and with the return of her boy she awakens to the reali zation of what true love-romance is.

The mountians appear to act . as gigantic lightning rods, be tween which and the clouds silent discharges take place on a vast scale. Because more frequently seen in the Andes than elsewhere the term "An dean lightning" has been adopted. However, the same phenomenon has heen observed in the Swiss Alps and the mountains of North Carolina. Detailed accounts of its appearance in the region of Brown mountain (17 miles from Blowing Rock) in the summers of 1917 and 1918 were given. According to Dr. Walter Knoche, for a number of years di rector of the weather service, Chile, these great silent brush discharges of electricity extend from the crest of the Cordilleras far out to sea, They almost always appear in a clear sky upon the approach of nightfall. As regards seasons, the phenomenon begins in the fall. The frequency of discharge, says Dr. Kenoche, seems in general to decrease with increase in distance from the equator. In the discussion the occurrence of such mountain brush discharge in the White mountains was mentioned. Portsmouth is across an inlet from Ocracoke and is alongside that inlet, which is now narrow and shallow but which long ago was much used, when Ocracoke was a "port of entry." The beach reaches all the way to Cape Lookout, without a break in the 50 miles. At low water it is a mile wide but ends suddenly in the vil lage, which is set on a green turf which gives it an entrancing aspect.

The Coast Guard station, all white and green, set in its green and close- clipped grass, is the center of life next coming the Methodist church and the village store. Domesticated wild geese, used as lures to call from their sky-flights the really wild ones to the hunter's guns, are on all sides. Their honking is heard in the water slues and the grass stretches, and with them are cows which give the thinnest milk in the world and whose udders make one think of a punctur ed tire, these being "scrubs." There are sheep, also and lots of chickens and the wild ponies popularly called "bankers," are all about. There is on the island only one dog, "Poodle." a nondescript; his owner being W. T.
