Thursday, January t, ivo THE TAR HEEL Page S The Melting Pot By C. W. B. i nover want to sec the day when Chapfi' HUl gem lu ire a viij. tJiuau towns bless them all ! They breed the biggest men, the rarest news, and the biggest liars. And such love is awak ened in small-town citizenship. What is Boston to Hillsboro, Paris to Mor ggnton, or Chicago to Cary? What Is , metropolis compared to a town where one has a speaking acquaintance with every dog that he meets, knows every face in a congregation, and is permitted to add his hush-note to the last dear long of gossip? Such an extraordinary municipality is Chapel Hill! It is be selged with cosmopolitanism every day, ,nd through it all it survives a se rene, dignified country village. Small towns, bless them all I Not long ago, . Bishop ' somebody turned loose a burning philliplc against the use of cosmetics by women. But how come, we innocently inquire? Where's the harm in it, anyway? The desire for beauty is Inborn into all hu manity. Wearing- jewelry and adorning him or herself is the first evidence of a barbarian's wish to be -civilized. The desire in Nature for beauty covers. the earth with flowers, paints the wings of moths, tints the chambers - of the shell i and gives the bird its plumage. If there's beauty in lipstick, let it be used. If there's art in rouge, let it be applied, for art's sake. What a grave error you must have made, Bishop I The flaming collegiate youth of the roaring forties drank eggnog and por ter and sang sentimental gongs to young ladies at midnight while the oldsters viewed with alarm. From old news paper files comes history's repetition of the perplexities of crabbed age over the licentiousness of youth. From a Dean's rebuke to his student body in a West ern college the other day we find him saying: "Young men of College ire marching the street at midnight, singing sentimental songs to young la dies in the Female Collegiate Institute. This is appalling. Any attempt to de fend it would be worse than madness." A hundred years ago our elders wor ried over our sins. Today they also worry over our sins. We are but dup licates of our fathers and grandfathers. We will come out all right if given time. , The day is coming when college com ics will abandon the woeful habit of refurnishing year after year the half baked dismal cracks about the absent minded professor and the dumb fresh man. Instead, they will turn fresh soil nd do great good in exposing the pull ing and hauling of factions, the currents nut. viuBD-xunmu mi luuiuc iimi ntuii and toss the faculty - of the average college. But students are not supposed to know about that. . "If you want to sell your stuff to Americans, season It with sex," say the popular magaaine editors. Hence the pretty girl, magazine cover. And' the annihilation of morals. One of the choicest imbecilities of Boobus Ameri cans is his attitude toward sex. You dare not mention it in public. Sex, the tin qua non of first-rate cosmic artists like Dreiser and Cabell, is sputteringly decried by self-satisfied Babbitts, those art-blind phllistines, inherently lewd minded members of such as the New York Evening Journal's scandal sheets. It is useless to argue that the' average male American attends musical come dies for the comedy and not, to use his opera glasses on . the legs of the third wench from the left. . The congenital comstockery . that obsesses the average Americano is a source of amazed de rision to all the civilized countries of Europe. ' ." - ' The January 1926 number of the Car olina Magazine is unusual. Compiled by co-eds, it was a rather interesting sort of thing to loak into, upon its appear ance just before Christmas. The cover was pretty. The spelling and grammar of the various things done by feminine talent was also good. The titles were catchy. The ads were good. The maga ine was well printed. The articles had to be read, and possibly re-read, to be appreciated. Provided one's senses of chivalry was much stronger than his bet ter judgment. But it was a distincHv better, publication than the last number ot Whiz Bang. There's a thought packed into what Dr. J. B. Finley had to say when he surrendered his professorship at the University of California to become dean of the University of Mexico: "Our nation probably will be saved, for a few years at least, by the young men who cannot go to a college or a university. . . A master of arts or a doctor of philosophy is now a bov whose parents ' have enouch inoncv to keep him in college until the professors are tired of looking at him." And the Dearborn Independent thinks that maybe the day will come when men of mind may be as strong to forego college as pink teas, golf or dandyism MANY NEWSPAPER MEN TO ATTEND PRESS GATHERING (Continued from page oni) lie Utility," Ole Buck, Field Manager, Nebraska Press Association.

Mr. Nickle departed from Hollywood two and a half years ago and journeyed through,Mexieo, South Seas, the Far East T-i.. . -.1. iT. . : ... 1 Cl-.:fc C.f i birti..nl c Avoiding beaten paths, he plunged into the heart of the primitive. He took the motion picture camera to many local ities and tribes that had never before seen a white person. With the explorer's courage and quickness of resource, he combined unusual picture sense. As B practical movie producer, he knew what to "take" and how to get it The result a true-story romance, all the more thrilling because based on actualities. He will tell and show the ape-like humanity of Borneo's forests, the Kin- yaks who dwell in trees; the sacred "Are- walking" of Singapore Hindus; the croc odile hunts and elephant ferriage of the rivers; the amazing sea-elephants; the thieves' market," floating gardens, and sun pyramids and hundreds of other scenes of real-like action under the trop ical sky, all of them hitherto uncaught by the camera. ' '" It may. be added that Burr Nickle s big picture car will be one of the show sights of the city upon his arrival here.

Roofing and Sheet Metal Work (Continued from pag$ one) Una at Chapel HilL What he is endeav oring to do is -to create a more intelli gent reading and buying of books as well as an enthusiasm for literature in the South. The column gives news, gos sip and a little criticism of books from the South and on the South. It takes up items of current Interest and re-emphasizes books that have become of In creasing importance. "With two years of experience, Pro fessor Hibbard is gathering a steadily surer understanding of what will inter est the section of the country being served, and the newspapers are finding an increased satisfaction in the use of the column. Among the many authors who have volunteered contributions to "The Literary Lantern" are Irvin Cobb, Du Bose Heyward, Howard Mulford Jones, Lula Vollmer, Ellen Glasgow, Corra Harris, and others. And not only have there been prose contributions, but there have been frequent poetical con tributions of distinct importance, includ ing the work of Olive Tilford Dargan, Cale Young Rice, and others. "Professor Hibbard has been doing this as a labor of love, the newspapers paying a nominal fee of $1 per column, which to some extent covers clerical work in preparing the material for the newspapers. The columns are generally printed in the Sunday editions. This ser vice adds to the indebtedness which the South as a whole owes to the University of North Carolina, which has been stead ily supplying a fine leadership in the cultural and practical affairs of more states than its own. The list of the papers now using the material is as fol lows: "Louisville (Ky.) Courier -Journal; Norfolk (Va.) Virginian-Pilot; Greens boro (N. C.) News; Asheville (N. C.) Citizen; Durham (N. C.) Herald; Char lotte (N. C) Observer; Columbia (S. C.) State; Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald; Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel; St. Petersburg (Fla.) Independent; Wichita Falls (Tex as) Times; Austin (Texas) American; Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer -Bun; total circulation, 370,000. , In South American universities, stu dents must either take a street car or a motor bus from one class to another, due to long distances between buildings. The time between classes is often two or three hours. DOUGHBOYS FIGHT WAR OVER IN MOVIE "None but former doughboys need apply!" . That, was the slogan of George Fitz maurfte when recruiting a battery of field artillery, a troop of cavalry and a company of infantry, which he used at United Studios for a wartime sequence in his sccreen version of the famous stage play, "The Dark Angol." His en tire young army was manned and offic ered by A. E. F. veterans, and a military atmosphere on Hie lot was complete. "The. Dark Angel," to be. First Na tional's offering at the Pickwick theatre today, features Ronald Colman, himself a veteran of the London Scottish during the World War, and Vilma Banky, Sam uel Goldwyn's Budapest beauty, who makes her i American debut in this pic ture. " v,vV". , Cullen "Hezi" Tate, who assisted Fitz maurice in the direction of. "The Dark Angel," proved of immense value in the filming of . the. wartime sequence because of his own experience as an officer in the" A. E. F.' ' ;--;V GREAT SPECTACLE IS PRODUCED FROM "ANCIENT MARINER." ' Coming to the Pickwick Theatre next Friday night is one of the greatest stories ever told and one of the greatest pictures ever produced, "The Ancient Mariner" based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." ' . This entrancing spectacle has been giv en a productio'n by Fox Films in which no amount of time, labor or expense was spared to insure accuracy -in every de tail, beautiful photography and enter tainment of a superlative nature. The story is told in two parts. The modern story serves to iiitroduce a beau tiful sequence. The allegorical portion of the picture was directed by Henry Otto who directed the sensational "Dante's Inferno." In "The Ancient Mariner", Mr. Otto admits that he has surpassed his previous best efforts. . Paul Panzer, one of America's fore most actors, plays the titular role in the fantasy' sequence with Gladys Brockwell and Robert Klein also" prominently cast. Depicting the characters of the modern sequence are Clara Bow, Leslie Fenton, Nigel De Brullier a nd Earle Williams. Chester Bennett directed this phase of the picture. .

Q-E Motorized Powei- an ideal combination of electric motor and con. trol properly fitted to the individual task is at work the world-over, relieving workers more and more for better and more profitable pursuits. A new series of G-E ad vertisements showing what electricity is doing In many fields will be sent on request. Ask for Booklet GEK-1. When motorized power is virtually unknown, men Ml yet accom plish little The United State ham over one-quarter electrical horsepower Installed per capita. Japan, leading" country of the Orient has but 04 horsepower. Elect ric shovel and storage battery locomotive are ahown at a completely electrthed open-pit coalmine, at Colatrip, Montana. Work without Toil Ten or twelve hours a day toils the coolie. If he carries all he can, he moves one ton one mile in one day. For that he receives twenty cents. Cheap labor! Yet compared with our American worker, receiving at least twenty-five. times as much for an eight-hour day, the coolie is expensive labor. In America we move one ton one mile for less than one cent. The coolie, working by hand, accomplishes little; while the American, with electricity's aid, accomplishes much. Plenty of electricity and cheap electricity these are two great advantages which America enjoys over the rest of the world. While our present gener ating capacity i$ 20,600,000 kilowatts, new develop ments call for 3,000,000 kilowatts more per year. To college men and women potential leaders will fall the duty of finding more and still more work for electricity, with less and still less toil for our workers. For the task is but begun!
