PARAGRAPHICS
" Among the famous epitaphs of the
World let. us add the chosen one of
Miss Nell Battle Lewis: "She cam
paigned for.Al Smith in 1928."
If every ardent Smith campaigner
sees fit to choose this same epitaph,
in a few decades we may find it ne
cessary to establish Al Smith ceme
teries where may lie in peace all
those who fought the good fight
only to lose.
But now that it is . all . over, there
are other things to be done. So let
our friend Al retire to the country
and raise chickens that's the best
way to reconcile the Methodist' min
isters, for who ever heard of "a
preacher refusing fried thicken?
The Red Cross' puts on its annual
drive. Might we suggest that some
of the recent election bets be paid in
the form ; of subscriptions to this
worth while work?
The thieves who broke into two
frat house's .here on the Hill were
brave chaps. Why just suppose they
had been captured and bound hand
and foot while some wily Greek pin
ned a pledge button on their coat la
pels ! .
And anyhow, why should ' even an
ignorant, thief expect to. find any
thing of value in" a fraternity house?
The Red Cross
Stays At Home -
For too many people the American
Red Cross represents merely another
one of those organizatins which make
an annual call for money to.be spent
in some distant place for some vague
need. The. definite work done by
emissaries of the, Red Cross is not
known by the students t who will be
canvassed in the coming campus-wide
drive. ' ''-' :
Knowledge of how. the twenty-five
million dollars subscribed to the Red
Cross during the past year was made
to cover a multitude of needs would
be a,' surprise to many. Among the
divisions of work which carry first
aid to an infinite number, of suffer
ers are service to disabled veterans,
disaster relief, public health nurs
ing, nutrition, service to men of - the
regular army and navy, home hy
giene and care of the sick, first aid
and life saving, junior Red Cross and
foreign' and insular activities.
However worthy this extensive re
lief work may be, it is difficult to
impress ; upon the student just, what
it means. The new system adopted
by. the University branch of the Red
Cross obviates this difficulty by se
curing the major portion of the mon
ey raised in the drive for local use
on the campus. A University branch
of the Red Cross has been organized,
separate from the Chapel Hill chap
ter. All students and faculty mem
bers will make . their contributions
directly to this branch. Only , fifty
cents out of each subscription will be
forwarded to ational headquarters
for national use. All the rest will be
kept in Chapel Hill for use on the
campus. This means- that fifty cents
but of a dollar subscription, four
dollars and a half out of a five dol
lar - subscription, or twenty-four dol
lars and a . half out of a twenty-five
dollar subscription will be utilized
for campus needs. . '
This campus Red Cross fund - will
be administered by a University board
consisting of Grady Leonard, Odell
Sapp, arid Miss Mela Royall. These
three representatives of , the Univer
sity will act upon any easels- of stu
dent or faculty need which may be
alleviated by the local Red 'Cross
fund. - V - ; r :'
The campaign which starts. tonight
may not be ignored on the ground of
its being foreign to student interests
The Red Cross money will remain ori
the campus, be attended to by uAi
versity , students and be used for stu
dent purposes. -

A Browsing Spot
For Student Readers
Among the delightful spots of the
campus is a small room on the second
floor of Murphey Building wherein is
housed the Bull's , Head Bookshop.
The bookish atmosphere which pre-
..... '
vails there is a pleasing blend of old
books and new books, of fiction arid
fact, of prose and poetry. , Situated
in the midst of classrooms, it escapes
their taint - while creating a charm
all its own. ; , : .;
And the best thing about it is that
the welcome is not limited to book
buyers but is expended to those who
wish to come in, look about, and settle
down for . an afternoon's reading:
Money-makes the bull go as well as
the proverbial mare, so no doubt buy
ers are essential to assure the con
tinuation of the shop. The' propri
etor, however, declines to limit his
clientele to those who can afford to
purchase. He declares that the brow
ser is ever welcome. '
An afternoon or a free morning
hour is well spent in the Bull's Head.
We heartily recommend that those
who are not yet acquainted with this
spot find their way there and dis
cover the treat awaiting them.
"Pass the
Butter, Please"
Not long ago the Tar Heel printed
an editorial- pointing out . the value
of college friendships. ; There was
the usual reaction on the campus.
Those who read it shook their' heads
safely and said, "Yep, that's right!"
and promptly forgot it. The rest
didn't read it. .' ..
4 Nevertheless, college friendships
are most important. Perhaps , no
where are friends more easy to meet
and make than at mealtime. There
are numerous boarding-houses on the
campus which serve a large part of
the student' body. Boys meet there
three times a day, every day. Yet
few take the trouble to converse with
their neighbors beyond the formal
"Pass the butter, please" unless their 1
neighbors are fraternity brothers or
were known outside ihe boarding
Tiouse. " : ' -. . - ' V
It is very little trouble and it adds
to the pleasure of the meal to talk
to the fellow next to you and the one
across the way. Contacts made in
this manneY generally lead to more
intimate friendships. ; Carolina, we
have been told again and again, is
the most democratic school in the
South. An extension of that spirit to
boarding-houses as well as ' other
places would not be amiss. -H.-J. G.

B. F. M. '28 AGAIN
To the Editor:
Dear Sir:
V My letter seems to have elicited com
ment and more personalities, not to
say recriminations. I was anxious to
avoid the latter in order to keep the
issues clear. ' This is a common fal
lacy and unforgivable, but . not con
ducive to rational discussion. Any
seeming personalities on my part were
aimed at the unwonted intrusion on
the part of Mr. Mitchell. I repeat
that I, and a few others, are not inter
ested. inMr. Mitchell. -'.' f
: That Mr.' Mitchell follows the style
of metropolitan reviewers is of little
moment. The conditions here are
somewhat different. No metropoli
tan reviewer sits on a play for a week;
lative value of a play and its produc
tion in a city is smaller than it is
here. ; In a city a review has also a
definite economic significance. ' These
facts seem to me to demand a more
careful appreciation of the production
bn the part of the campus critic, 'a
'more leisurely discussion, and a more
thorough suppression of the 1 ego of
the critic. ' A month of hard work and
artistic, endeavor should not be dis
missed so casually. The critic may
praise or condemn as he will but
must substantiate his general state
ments ' intelligently and 'in some de
tail:;;" ' -
To ask me to write a better review
than Mitchell's is as puerile as to ask
Mitchell to play the Ibsen lead. .Both
may' have been improved, but each
must stand for what he has done and
accept : the " possibility of criticism
whether it be good criticism or bad,
fair or prejudiced." I think Mitchell's
criticism is prejudiced in favor of the
reviewer, and bad o the point of
weakness in its sketchy "phrases and
condemnations. V
That the naymaker stall was
pleased wfth the review denotes sever
al things: that reviews were formally
very bad; that the staff despairs of a
good review; that they accept grate
fully the few crumbs Public Opinion
throws to them. This is the more
serious aspect of the affair, the suf
ficiency of the secdrid-rate.
A' last touch personal to Mr. Bailey

To begin with, -although every
sentence Mr Browne has written con
tained unity, coherence, and empha
sis, they were so completely ridicul
ous as to proyoke not just gentle
mirth, . - but plain, unadulterated
laughter, For instance, he made the
statement that football is the only
game in which a. man weighing two
hundred pounds or more has a chance
to make the team in his first year' of
competition. Thus he implies that
a large size is necessary to make .a
good football player. . If I understand
correctly this is the first year that
Pete Wyrick or Bob Blackwood have
been eligible for varsity competition,
and they certainly lack weighing two
hundred pounds by a good margin.
Then too, -more generally speaking,
you will find such men as Babe Ruth,
Lou Gehrig, William T. Tilden,- and
a host of others, all big men, -and
stars in their respective sports.' 5 Look

Editor of the Tar Heel:.
Dear Sir: . .
1
. I seen in the Open Forum colums
of the Tar Heel Thursday an article
signed by B. F. M.: '28 raisin sand
about Mr. Joseph Mitchell and dra
matic and literary' critics on the cam
pus in general. I was sure glad I
wasn't Mr. Mitchell because I would
have probably got all befuddled and
fire mad if anybody said such wretch
ed things about me the way they did
about him. -y:-
Well, I've read Mr. Mitchell's dra
matic criticisms and articles for the
past two or three years "and I thank
God he doesn't use as long sentences
as Mr. B. F. M. '28. Why honest he
writes-them by the yard! And' he
goes galloping off in one sentence
about football stories being placed on
the front pagel instead Of on the sport
page when probably he doesn't rno
that the important football stories are
always put on the front page.1' '
And come to think of it the writer
puts -his hole article with the excep
tion of the last sentence in one para
graph. . Which makes it awful tire
some to read. But I guess the splitt
in up of the thing into parakraphs
wouldn't help it much. ' ; -
The author' of the letter said some
mighty nice things ' about Mr. Booker
which ,are all true. But I usually try
to get a boot on a professor by using
a shoe horn. . - .
Well, I ain't said much and I guess
I couldn't hope to compete in brilliance
of literary style with .Mr B. F. M.
'28 and I know I couldn't write as
ambiguous a sentence as he does even
if I tried. But before I stop I would
like, to ask. Mr. B.' F4 M. '28 how he
expects to take over Mr. Mitchell's
job without signing his name so as
we'll know who he is?
Yours infernally,
Jim Slogan. .
. AS TO FOOTBALL 1
Editor of The Tar Heel
Dear Mr, . Editor:
I note with a great deal of inter
est what Mr. H. T. ..Browne had to
say regarding the modern game of
football in the last is'sue of this pa
per. As an ardent admirer of the
game, I feel it is my duty to defend
it as much as possible from slurs
m the track and field meets, there
you will find beef and brawn , leading
the field. - ' - - -1.
He has also said that the time of
action " in a football game rarely ex
ceeds ' seven ! minutes, r Has - he never
seen -a game? I -think that most
people who have seen games will sup
port me in saying that the entire af
fair is replete with action, and thrills,
and surely he knows that theVe are
sixty full minutes playing time in a
game. ., .
He has called the " game slow, and
says that brawn, and strength alone
are the sole requisites that make a
good player. It is certainly a reflec
tion upon his . good sense to say
this. I do not see how any man
could be dumb enough to call a game
played by men who are filled With
the exuberance of youth, coached and
tutored , until they have reached a
point where- team work, and coordina
tion; are nigh perfect, a game that
calls so 'evidently for clearness of
thought and agility in action, as only
fit for brutes or beasts to engage in.
He has said that the English game
of, soccer co.uld be . substituted for
football. Please tell me .how a game
that is so limited by rules and regula
tions as to be played entirely without
the use of one's hands could ever have
as strong an appeal to one's finer
senses, as one that calls so clearly
for cunning and brain work. Pray,
where .. could , deceptive or scientific
methods be used in such a game as
soccer? Would the thrills caused by
a brilliant run or a beautifully execut
ed pass be present? Never. Foot
ball is the one supreme game. Soc
cer is only' a variation of the game
of Rugby, and from that game foot
ball, as we play it, hasevoluted.
" Let me say in conclusion that many
of the foremost men of our great
state and country were football
players when the game was much
roueher than it is, now. I have no -
doubt but that they glory in the game
as they played it, and I believe that
all of them would say they derived a
large amount of ,good from it.
Respectfully,
ROBERT B. CHETTY.

Gentlemen: - -
I have used Edgeworth Smoking
Tobacco for the past twenty-five years.
Two years ago I took my trusty briar
: along on a trip abroad, intending to
revel in the delights of - the famous
mixtures in London. I confess that I
did not carry along with me any of the
little blue tins of Edgeworth. But the
joke was on fne. I went back to Edge
worth, only this time I had to pay 45c
' for a 15c tin of Edgeworth!
Incidentally, on a 'trip through
England and later through Ireland, I
was surprised to find the wide distribu
tion and ready sale of Edgeworth in
: Great Britain. A-frequent and famil
iar sign in Dublin,' Cork and . other
cities in Ireland was a white, streamer
announcing a new shipment, of Edge
worth. 1 To make such a conquest in
the home of smoking tobacco must be
very gratifying to your house. .
Sincerely,
