Wandering Troubadour Delights
Large Audience of Collegians
,:" "v rh o . . .
Trick Bicycle Rider Ballyhoos Blase College Crowd into Village
"Public Square"; Greeted with Hatful Money
and Rounds of Applause. .
.'''5 ' "' o - "
A modern prototype of the travel
ing troubadors, magicians and other
wandering showmen of medieval times
came to Chapel Hill Wednesday. True
to the custom of his Middle Age pre
decessors in -his profession, he bally
hooed a large crowd into the Chapel
Hill replica of the old town square,
the wide Bide-walked space in front
of the post-office, and went through
an excellent exhibition of the show
man's art to the tune of a hatful of
coins and even more plentiful ap
plause., Incidentally, the blase collegians of
the University sophisticated as they
supposedly are, proved themselves sus
ceptible to the lure that the sidewalk
show has for everyone from street
, gamin and plowboy to college profes
sor and big-city politicians. Some
eight or nine hundred of them gather
ed around the little old man in the
reg wig and gaped Jike country bump
kins while he gave his exhibition.
Dan Lacklaw is the name that he
professes to own. Just before the first
Pick he made his appearance on
Franklin street, riding up and down
the thoroughfare on a queer mono
cycle that he kept his balance upon
by some feat of legerdemain, ringing
a cowbel continuously. He presented
a ludicrous appearance, with his fiery
red wig and seamed little old face.
He kept up a ballyhoo about a free
exhibition in front of the post-office,
and a veritable trek from the portals
of the Pick started post-officeward.
The exhibition put on by the show
man was worthy of a place in the
ranks of "the Greatest Show on
Earth." He climbed under, over,
through and between the frame and
handlebars of his vehicle while it
glided around in a circle, running
forward, backward, and sidewise,
waltzing, hurdling, rearing up on its
hind wheel and remaining stationary
in a perpendicular position, and per
forming other queer antics. He took
a bicycle apart, discarded the handle
bars and front wheel, and kept mov
ing on the rear wheel. He rode a
huge three-seated bicycle, with the
front wheel reared prpendicularly in
the air and the rear wheel supporting
him high in the air on the front seat
of the contraption. He performed
various other tricks on his bicycles
and monocycle that were really ex
cellent, keeping his audience in con
tinual bursts of merriment with his
wisecracks and comical appearance.
Mr. Lacklaw was accompanied by
his seventeen-year old daughter. The
two were traveling in a big truck with
a body of the "house on wheels" vari
ety. They live in Philadelphia dur
ing the winter and spend their sum
mers traveling over the country and
giving exhibitions.
Mr. Lacklaw stated that he has been
giving these' traveling exhibitions for
twenty-seven years, and that he has
refused several offers of contracts
with shows and circuses in order to
continue his roving mode of life of
which he is very fond.
HOUSE SPEAKS ON
LIFE WORK THEME
In Chapel Address Says Morals
Should Guide Choice of
Vacation.
"Most of our churches are poorly
manned, and there is an actual call
for men to enlist in religious work,
but a preacher's profession is not one
bit more vital, more dignified, or more
appealing than any other," R. B.
House, Executive Secretary of the
University of North Carolina, de
clared before a student audience in
Memorial Hall Thursday morning.
Secretary House's subject was
"The Religious Aspect of Choosing a
Vocation." His address was the
fourth of a series on the general sub
ject of ''Selecting a Life Work" that
have been given in Chapel this week.
"Any man that is living as a man
ought to live and working as a man
should work, is serving God and hu
manity," continued the Secretary. "I
don't believe in 'holy occupations' or
'Holy people'. A preacher differs
from a member of any other profes
sion only in the type of work that
he does.
"I have never been in a group of
men that really scoffed at religion. It
seems that real religion works best
in the field of the individual. As long
as a man is developing the sort of
habits that make up the type of life
.that any child of God ought .to live
he is moving along the one path and
the only path that leads to success in
life and service to humanity."
No person, according to Mr. House,
is wise enough to sit down and plot
out his future in detail. Mankind is
far more retrospective.
Make Choice Now
"I do not emphasize and I cannot
emphasize the necessity of making a
particular decision nowA Mr. House
asserted. "If a person has definitely
settled upon some particular profes
sion he is fortunate, and I bid him
Godspeed. But if anyone is trying to
grow and find the right way, and de
veloping himself to "do some kind of
Work instead of some particular field
of work he is on the right path."
"I only urge that the student em
phasize the formulation of aspira
tions, desires and an attitude toward
life that makes for clean living and
right .mindedness, which are the real
backbones of human society."
School Student Officers
Frederick Prouty, Jr., has
been elected president of the
high school student body, Ruth
Ashmore vice-president, Evelyn
Page secretary, and v Claude
Council treasurer. They were
inaugurated Tuesday. ' R. B.
House made a short talk.

PHI ZETA NU TAPS
TWO NEW MEMBERS
Engineers Also Hear Address by
Professor Daggett on
"Electric Transient."
' l
An address by Professor P. H. Dag
gett on "Electric Transients" and the
tapping of two new members by the
honorary electrical engineering fra
ternity, Phi Zeta Nu, featured the
meeting of the local chapter of the
American Institute of Electrical Engi
neers in Phillips Hall Thursday night.
David Holshouser, of Rockwell, and
Turner Griffin, of Macclesfield, were
the men tapped by the fraternity.
Professor Daggett illustrated his
lecture with actual pictures of electric
waves taken at very small intervals,
displayed on a screen by slides. Those
in the audience declared his lecture to
be an excellent one, considering the
fact that it was on a technical subject.
Freshman Nine Loses
To Duke Frosh with
Decisive Score 14-2
The Carolina Tar Baby nine lost
its last chance for the state champion
ship in baseball when the Duke Blue
Imps gained a 14 to 2 decision over
it Thursday afternoon on Hanes field
in Durham. The Methodists pfmnded
heavily against everything Hamlet,
Carolina hurler had to offer. Stewart,
who relieved Hamlet, had a little bet
ter success in that he managed to
keep the Blue Imps from bunching
their hits to any degree.
Jenkins, Methodist southpaw, was
in fine fettle and breezed thru the
day allowing the Tar Babies only
six scattered singles. Murray let in
the hitting honors for the victors, get
ing a homer, a single and a walk
from four tries. Kistler, also of Duke,
had a perfect score for the day,
smacking out a triple his first time
up and walking the remaining three
trips. ,
For the Tar Babies, Maus and Ed
wards each got two bingles. Mac
Manaway was the outstanding mem
ber of the fielding department for the
losers. His difficult catch of Murray's
liner was exceptionally good.

BROOKS SPEAKS
TO LAW SCHOOL
Prominent Greensboro Attorney
Advises Students to
, Be Frank.
"Don't cut across the diamond
be perfectly frank," said A.
L. Brooks, prominent trial law
yer of Greensboro in speaking to
the students and interested hear
ers Tuesday evening in Manning
Hall. Following the same line
of persistent and concentrated
attack that has made him vic
torious in a large majority of
his 12,000 jury trials, he tact
fully' drove home his chief con
tention the winning of cases is
very little associated with speech
making and oratory; it's the con
fidence of court and jury in the
lawyer that determine cases. '
Character, candor, and work
aro the essentials of the good
trial lawyer. The jury may
have an unkept appearance, but
its quick sense of injustice and
deep religious convictions cou
pled with practical, common
sense will resent a parade of
sentimentality, forensic tricks
and empty oratory. Judge and
jury want the facts directly,
candidly, and fairly. Unless the
lawyer brings intelligence and
character to his case he will fail.
He must play fair with judge
and jury, conduct himself as a
high-minded member of the bar,
for it is always advantageous to
have the judge open-minded to
your case; and, if the jury
doubts your sincerity or de
tects a deceit, your case is lost.
He must drive home the facts,
make them vivid to judge and
jury, and make clear his theory
of the law concerned, arguing it
with sincerity. People don't
want "canned" stuff; they want
clear headed opinions and hon
est convictions. Back of such a
presentation of a case, there
must be genuine work thre is
no short road to Jerusalem.
President Whitman of the
American Bar Association ex
pressed the same thought here
Monday when he said, "I have
found no substitute for work."
After all the most important
single element in the winning of
cases before a jury is the char
acter of the lawyer. It isn't the
speech, not even so much how it
is said, as it is the man back of
the words integrity and char
acterthat wins case3 by cre
ating and maintaining confi
dence. The address of Mr. Brooks
was the fifth and last of a series
arranged by the Law Associa
tion here for the presentation of
the practical phases of the prac
tice by prominent North Caro
lina lawyers. S. E. Vest, editor
of the Law Review and student
councilman from the Law School
introduced the speaker.
Mrs. Marvin H. Stacy left yesterday
for Wilmington where she will spend
few day wit bar sister.

as one of its officials such an advanc
ed thinker as Dean Addison Hibbard.
"Gentlemen," he stated, "nowhere in
the south or the north or anywhere in
this great country of ours is there
such a brilliant man as Addison Hib
bard. He typifies the spirit of south
ern progress and the men of this uni
versity have indeed been accorded a
great privilege if they have ever at
tended any of his classes." This re
mark was greeted with a prpfusion of
cheers.
Then the senate discussed various
subjects. Among them was the sug
gestion f rem one -member that the
Senate expand. The speaking mem
ber had not attended the last several
meetings, having been called out of
the city, but he learned that the Sen
ate had already made plans for its
expansion. Various heads of schools
over the state have been conferred
with and the project has met with
hearty exclamations of approval.
Plans toward this end have been
furthered and a few weeks should sec
several of the leading schools in the
state with branches of the Dinamite
Senate. This will be completed aa
soon as definite arrangements can be
made with school officials.
The meeting closed with a solemn
recitation .of the- pledge: "Eman
Hetan, Eman Hetanf by the figure
Mandel; by the pentagon of Solomon
and his image 'idea salomonis et en
tocta'; and by the sword of Moses."

and the joy-friend
Prince Albert
WHEN my father was in college, "Put that in
your pipe and smoke it!" was considered snappy
conversation. I'm ready to take this old line
literally when the talk centers around Prince
Albert. Because P. A. makes two of what X
like in a pipe.
All wise-cracking aside, P. A. is the money
when it comes to deep-down satisfaction in 3
smoke. It's got everything! Cool as the trail
of the ice-man across the kitchen. Sweet as;
vacation. Fragrant as a pine forest.
Think up your own similes. You'll write them
all in the column headed "Superlative Degree"
when you learn the joys of a jimmy-pipe and
Prince Albert. If you don't know this grand o!4
smoke, come around to my room and I'll give
you a load. j
