Add to startling news of the day:
"Congress Plans to Move Faster
With Its Work."
President Chase finds that the
World War accomplished one good
thing even though the world is not
yet safe for democracy..
Seeing as how the Pickard hotel is
no more,' we reckon the question now
is whether Graham Memorial build
ing will be completed before the
Pickard can be rebuilt.
One resident living off Rosemary
street was not to be outdone" by the
Pickard's blaze he retaliated by
burning his dog house Sunday.
. I
Well, we suppose it won't. hurt the
Democrats to get together and blow
a little wind seeing as how that is
about all they have done for the past
eight years.
V ; '
The question now is whether , your
Uncle Andy Mellon will be able to
collect any more of the war debts
after the encouraging move made by
Secretary Kellogg.
Our idea of the most thoughtless
pedant is he who comes along and in
quires if colleges really educate just
when the southern tournament pros
pects are beginning to look good.
Carolina is said to have one of the
hardest grid schedules in the
southern conference f f or the coming
year. With a weather eye to the past
season we might suggest that the ele
ven begin playing about the middle
of August in order to get warmed up
by the beginning of the season. .
Encouraging reports have come
from the quarters of those in charge
of the preparation of the student di
rectory it now appears that the
booklet will be ready in time for dis
tribution a short while after Johnny
Allison's year books are given out.
LACK OF PREPARATION COSTLY
The destructive fire that wiped out
the old Pickard Hotel Saturday night
is but another cold, matter of fact
proof that Chapel Hill is startlingly
lacking in adequate facilities with
which to combat the greatest destroy
er of property. To say startlirigly
lacking is to state a condition that
needs no over-emphasis.
There has been for sometime a
feeling among the citizens of the
town and the University officials
thai; the local fire department is not
- sufficient to ,give ample protection to
fthe town and University. In our
three-and-a-half -years sojourn here
there have been four or five costly
and destructive fires that may have
been made for less costly, less de
structive, if proper equipment, great
er efficiency, and better-trained fire
men had been used to extinguish, the
' - - " :;' : "--' r y.;;;l;-THE-; TAR HEEL ; - r '
blazes. The town's fire-fighting ap
paratus may be apparently as com
plete as that of the average commu
nity of TJhapel Hill's size. Yet with
all this equipment there is no full-
time f reman employed, no man that
stays at the firehouse, on the job and
ready to hasten to the fire -at the
drop of an handkerchief when the
alarm sounds; and worst of all the
local firemen are egregiously ineffi
cient and untrained. Heard of a fire
drill lately? Our firemen are noted
far and wide for their tactics and
technique; they fight the fire by
showering the -roof and sides of v the
burning building while the fire rages
and destroys inside!
Aside from the property of the
community at' large there is the val
uable, in some cases irreplaceable,
property of the University at stake.
Here is the University library, the
state's largest, with its- semi-fire-proof
housing. Once afire the structure
would burn like light-wood, making a
magnificent holocaust to flagrant
negligence. The library is but' one
example; hereare other valuable
collections that may be lost tbrough
fire. '
Must half the town, of Chapel Hill
or of the University be burned before
the officials are goaded to action to
provide this community with proper
protection from fires?
KINDLY ADVICE TO LOVERS
Comes now and. then, along with
the general run of pitter-patter, a
piece of news or a ' communication
that' varies from the normal and adds
to the fascination' of the . trade of
everyone who strives to edit a nubli-
cation. The Tar Heel is no excen-
i
tion to the rule.
From one, who signs her letter as
"A Student," comes a part of a love
letter, with the thoughtful . observa
tion, "I think that is thought enough
for a good editorial;" and rith the
mandate, "See what you can do with
it." The author of the communica
tion is anxious to see what the cam
pus thinks (if at all), about such
matters.
The quotation from the love letters
runs thus:
"In this horrible life of ours, why
can't there be some way in which we
can enjoy our happiness. Some way
that we can live our lives to make
happy, foolish barriers, such as :
marriages, gossips, conventions, age
old ideas, that have long been worn
out, and hinder us in our happiness.
HaDBV am I when with von. hut nnce
let the world find it out and then we
are outcasts, forgotten friendless and
with no one to turn to.
"As to marriage that is impossible
for I have not outlook on life yet.
Marriage seems to be the only way
in which we can enjoy our love. But
as to that: I have absolutely nothing
to offer you, our ideas are too far
advanced to try to live in a poverty
stricken house-hold.
"In this world of today, we have
no choice, we. must follow the rules
that our ancestors put down, and go
on this guarding and protecting our
love as tho it is something to be
ashamed of."
A most unusual case, quite evident,
that symbolizes the cruel, unyielding
rigors of life ' in this present-day
world. It is shot through with the
heinous demands of convention; here
is an ideal indication of the fool
hardy, yet inexorable standards by
those who believe in the ancient in
stitution, marriage. In fact, -it ap
pears that all is futile.
Since this newspaper - does not re
ceive the kindly advice, per column
for s.o many dollars, of Dorothy Dix,
the Tar Heel feels rather incapable
of offering comment. We refer the
stricken and love lorn soul to Miss
Dix.
However," in the meantime, if we
may be pardoned for this indiscretion
and encroachment, we would pre
scribe"; immediate , registration for
English la, a light diet of soups and
edible mushrooms, fresh 'air and vig
orous exercise, and early retirement
every night.
Bull's Head Shop
Sells Art. Prints
Jones' Shop Doing Flourishing Busi
ness in New Undertaking.
The Bull's Head Book Shop has in
stalled a small but varied stock of
prints, from paintings of world fam
ous artists, including a small supply
of wood' block prints. Accordingfb
Professor Howard Mumford Jones of
the English Department and head of
the Bull's Head, over twenty-five dol
lars worth of prints have already
been sold, and a larger and fuller
stock will soon be ' installed. The
sketch prints are selling for one cent
each, while the wood block prints are
one dollar each. Mr. J. Lanke, Vir
ginia artist, is making the wood
block prints for the Bull's Head.
Membership in Thompson's Amer
ica First Foundation costs ten dollars
a head. It is riot required, however,
that there be anything in the head.

TRACK PRACTICE
GETSJMDERWAY
Freshmen and Varsity Men Be
gin Training Under Coaches
Fetzer and. Ranson.
Regular practice for varsity and
freshman track candidates begins to
day Under the supervision of Coaches
Fetzer and Ranson. Some work was
done before Christmas' but Coach Fet
zer was assisting with football" and
Coach Ranson was devoting his time
to' the cross-country teams and as a
result progress was slow. Attention
will be given to all events during the
winter quarter, however.
Practically all of the work - this
quarter will be done on the cinder
track as neither the freshman nor the
varsity team will enter indoor meets.
Several years ago indoor contests
were held in Durham, but the lack of
interest caused these 'to. be dropped
and since then no indoor meets have
been held in North Carolina.
There are several former high and
preparatory school stars out at pres-
at the close of the basketball season
However, little can be predicted now
as few of them have been seen in
competition here.
Meets are planned with Duke, and
State freshman teams and possibly
one with Virginia freshmen. Char
lotte High and Guilford College teams
are also likely to be met. " Plans are
under way for a trip into Virginia
with meets to be held with one or
more
the Virginia . prenaratorv
school teams. '

Y. Y. Photographers to
Make Last Visit Monday
Caesar Cone, business manager of
the 1928 Yackety Yack, announced
yesterday that Wootten-Moulton,
photographers of New Bern, would
be in Chapel Hill for the last time
next Monday for the purpose of mak
ing a few pictures of seniors, juniors
fraternity members and others who
failed to have the pictures made be
fore the holidays. These men should
get in touch with him at the office of
the publication in Alumni building
and arrange to' have their ("pictures
made. Some men who entered school
after. Christmas should also see that
the Yackety Yack has their picture.
Cone stated that this would absolute
ly be the last visit of the .photograph
er this year. -
Negro Hits Auto;
; Instantly, Killed
Buck Pate, a Negro laborer employ
ed by the town of Chapel' Hill, was
instantly killed Saturday night about
ten-thirty when he collided head' .on
with a car driven by a son of Superin
tendent of Buildings Williams.
The evidence available shows that
Mr. Williams was driving at a mod
erate rate on West Franklin street,
and that the Negro, probably because
of the confusion due to the Pickard
Hotel" fire, dashed headlong into the
side of the car, denting in th'e door
from the force of the blow. The man
fell to the ground and was dead when
picked up. No blame is attributed to
Mr. Williams as the resul$ of the ac
cident, since there is no visible way
m which he could have avoided hav
ihg his car hit by the victim.
Hot Dawg!
There is even more brass ,at the
Co-Ed 'house since the Christmas holi
days than before. The drawing room
now boasts a handsome fire-set and
beautifully chased brass candelabra.
Disgruntled gymnasts cannot , charge
the women this time - of. depriving
them of boxing gloves or a swimming
pool, either. Week-end guests at the
house swell the funds which, under
the management of Mrs. Lee, is spent
to make the building more attractive.

Gentlemen:
The agent while going through his
plunder stored in our baggage room
came across a can of your tobacco, and
account of his not using a pipe he made
me a present of this tobacco.
You will note the revenue stamp
and your memo. which was inclosed.
The tobacco was put up in 1910, six
teen years ago. But it was in good-;
shape, of remarkable flavor, and was '
greatly enjoyed by me.
Thought you would be interested in
knowing how your tobacco held out in
these days of fast living.
Yours very truly, ' v
