Housewanning for Old Smith
Expected about Thanksgiving
Building Well Furnished.
The state supreme court is expected
to hand down soon, a decision that
.will clear the way for the construc
tion of the road from Chapel Hill a
cross the south. end of Durham coun
ty to Nelson the short cut to Ra
leigh. i The project was held up for j
a determination of the question of
the highway commission's power to
select a route.
The case now pending- concerns
roads in "Wake county, but the issue
involved there is exactly the same as
in Durham County; and so, if the su
preme court upholds the lower court,
and says that the commission may se
lect the route and is not compelled
county commissioners or groups of
citizens, then the Chapel Hill-Nelson
road will be laid out according to the
survey approved by the commission.
When the engineers made their
survey they found that they could cut
3,000 feet, something over a' mile,
from the distance by the present road
hptwppn Fvprerefi Farm and "Lowe's
. Grove. This could be achieved by
eliminating an elbow. , But the pro
posal for the shortening brought a
protest from owners of land along the
existing circuitous road. Their prop
erty would be left off the new road,

Hill's Statement
Since the question as to the com
mission's authority in a similar situa
tion had been brought into court in
"VVake it was decided not to proceed
any further with the work in Dur
ham county until the powers of the
commission were denned by the State's
highest tribunal.
John Sprunt Hill, highway com
missioner for this district said yes
terday: "The supreme court is going to de-

sion have the right to lay out high
ways along routes that will best serve
the interest of the public as a whole,
. or shall it be compelled to lay them
out, in each county, in the interest
of the individuals who prefer other
routes than those approved by the
commission? Of course we who are
charged with mapping out the state
road system think that the intent of
the law is that the commission shall
have the powtr to select routes, and
we hope and expect that the supreme
court will sustain that view."
Raleigh Nearer
If this expectation is fulfilled, the
contract for the grading of the Chap
,'erjIill-Nelson road will probably be
let around the first of the year" and
the work will begin immediately
thereafter. It is likely that the sur
face will be of tar, or "hard oil," like
the one recently laid between here and
Hillsboro. ' This resembles a paved
type of road in respect to drainage
, and the freedom fromtdust; it is not
intended for heavy bus and truck
' traffic such as' moves over the central
highway, but it stands up well under
ordinary passenger and light and
medium, traffic. -t "
The distance from Chapel Hill to
Raleigh by way of the short cut to
Nelson Vill-be -30 miles as compared
with 38' miles around by Durham.
There will -be another state highway
- short cut from here to Graham, leav
ing the Chapel HUl-Hillsboro road at
Calvander, so that through east-west
passengers will have the choice of
alternate routes between Nelson and
- Graham one by way of Durham and
Hillsboro, and, the other by way of
Chapel Hill. :
Bernard to Launch
Art Study Course
With Talk Monday
W. S. Bernard will give a public
lecture ' oil "The Greek Influence in
Modern Art," illustrated by lanten
slides, in the Episcopal parish house
Monday evening at 8:30.
This 'is to be the first of a series
of meetings 'centering about the study
of art appreciation and art history.
Everybody interested in this subject
is invited to join. ' The season's pro
gram includes talks by W. E. Cald

bition of pictures to Chapel Hill with

-The chairman of the art study club
is Mrs. Mary Graves Rees, the vice
chairman Mrs. N. B. Adams, and the
secretary Mrs. Metzenthin.
Several very distinctive honors have
come to Dr. M. R. Trabue, Professor
N. W. Walker, Dean of the School of
Education, announces. Dr. Trabue,
a member of the staff of the School of
Education, was asked early in the
summer to become technical and pro
fessional adviser to the new Commis
sioner of education for the state of
New Jersey. It is rather significant
that on assuming his new duties Com
missioner , Elliott should turn to the
University for assistance and Request
a member of the School of Education
to perform this professional and tech
nical service, Mr. Walker stated.
Accordingly, Dr. Trabue was 'given a
lea ve-of -absence for the fall and-win
ter quarters in order that he might
render this service requested by the
state of New Jersey. ,
Since going to New Jersey several
new honors have come to Dr. Trabue.
He has been requested to make a study
of the schools in the Isthmus of Pan
ama to determine : first, the ade
quacy of the curriculum, and second,
the achievements of the pupils in the
studies now embodied m the curricu
lum. .
Some weeks ago the president of
Washington and Lee University asked
Dr. Trabue to come there to make a
study of the curriculum of that in
stitution with the object of changing
the curriculum if the present one was
found to be inadequate.

unmarried men of the graduate school
of the University are now beginning
to feel at home in their new quar
ters in the Mary " Ann Smith Build
in' As a result of a vigorous petition
for some kind of quarters suited to
the needs and standards of the grad
uate school, the building -committee
of the board of trustees last June
gave the University authorities per
mission to remodel Smith and furnish
it beautifully and commodiously.
On the first floor are a large lounge
suitable for both formal and informal
gatherings, a dining room to accom
modate sixty persons, a house moth
er's quarters, and one or two pri
vate rooms. Members of the club are
now working out plans for regular
informal tea or coffee in the after
noon, in addition to occasional card
parties and dances.
On the second and third floors P.
L. Burch, head of the building ser
vice department, has contrived to pro
duce twenty-five, comfortable rooms,
for sleep and study, all of which have
closets, study desks, special book
shelves, easy chairs, and hot and
cold running, water. The study desks,
beds, and dressers are of Simmons

Iowa City, Iowa, (By New Student
Service)- Iowa Legionnaires return
ing home from their brave assault on
Cognac Hill somewhere in the Paris
sector found themselves confronted
with what professional patriots are
fond of calling the Enemy Within
the Gates. A professor of sociology
had moved in' faculty meeting at the
State University that campus mili
tary training be made optional. The
name of this professor of rare courage
is Edwin B. Reuter.
With a belligerency that belied his
name, Dr. Frank L. Love, a legion
naire of J.owa City, began the Legion
barrage. These critics of the R. O.
I . ne told the reporters, are dupes j
and paid servants in the hands of the
red elements." The sum of money
paid these servants and the name of
paymaster were left to the newspaper
reader's imagination. Commander W.
B. Gripple of the local post expressed
fear for future unprepared genera
tion if drill be made a ' matter of
choice.
On the campus the usual alignment
in such, controversies took form. The
student officers of the R. O. T. C. pro
fessed to see deep cultural values in
a course that required all students
to learn the difference between squads
right and left. The student paper,
last year edited by a reserve officer,
defended "the reds." The mass of
students, and both camps are agreed
on this point, welcomed agitation for
optional drill because they consider
required drill a burden. Most of the
professors have nothing to. say. The
exception is Professor Walter Brandt
of the the history department, who
thought the change "quite reasonable
and proper."

Powerful Dramatic Scenes
In Zane ''Grey's "Nevada";
One of the most poignant and
powerful dramatic scenes in the new
Zane Grey story "Nevada" as pic-
turized by Paramount, is the death
of Ernit S. Adams in the arms of
Gary Cooper.
The two are pals, closer than
brothers, living the lives of roving
cowpunchers with reputations as two
gun men. In a battle with cattle
rustlers, Adams is shot down by Wil
liam Powell. Cooper comes upon the
scene just as his pal is breathing his
last.
quiet place to settle down and rest
says Adanis, "and now I've" found it."
Cooper goes" nearly mad when his
friend dies. He cradles Adams' head
in his arms and vows vengeance.
Like a bloodhound on the trail he.
sets off in search of Powell, a killer
who will not be stopped.
He finds Powell with Thelma Todd,
the girl he loves, and she begs him
not to shoot. Gary wrestles with the
cruel problem his love for the girl
on the one hand, his hatred of Powell
and the cry of vengeance on ;the
other. And, in a very strange man
ner, he manages to keep his promise
to the girl and still avenge Adams.
John Waters, director has handled
this situation in. a very? skillf di man
ner. See it at the Carolina T today.
Philip Strange has th? fourth featured
role in "Nevada."
