GIRL Collegiate Fords! -What a subject you say. Yet the Collegiate , Ford is a species unto itself. It is a highly- developed, totally-uncivilized, futur-istically-decorated feat of mechanical engineering, the like of which never entered Henry Ford's mind when he first designed our good old friend Lizzie. They say Henry's made a lady put of Lizzie now, but the col lege boy has made a monkey out of her. ; . ' , - With what shrieks of laughter .is Collegiate Lizgreeted when she clat ters onto our campus. Her signs, in signia, passwords, and inscriptions are duly praised or censured, and her scars of battle respectfully admired. There are-many distinct types of the species which assumes the generic name of Collegiate Ford. They may be classified under specific names. The State College Ford is usually decorated in red and white. It may or may not have a top usually it doesn't and the landscaping upon its worthy sides may vary according to the taste and originality of its proud owner, or owners. Under an other group come the Carolina Fords. They differ in color from the State Ford, but, except for that, are built along the. same general lines, allow ing always for the individual tastes of said owners. One sees also Duke Fords of dark blue and white, red and black for Davidson, and black and yellow ones from Wake Forest, all of which are worthy of poetical flights of fancy. " v The masterpieces splashed on the sides of willing Liz are worthy of at tention. To what heights of fancy the imagination of the budding genii who attempt to ' express their ideas upon the outside of their idis- tinctive carryalls ' must go! Truly they reach the highest peaks. The sketches and quotations are often very futuristic, being drawn in glar ing colors and daring designs. ' Cer tainly the young artist has a wide and" undeveloped field for- the full play of his imagination and taW nn these Collegiate Fords. And that's a part of education! - - The Library Manifesto The intent of this column is to keep Tar Heel readers informed from week to week (if it shoifld -live so long!) about the new books that come into - the University Library and other Library affairs of interest.. Already, even as this first column is born, ob jection has -been made that there are not enough new books to go around to interested parties of the Library's clientele, without advertisement. Well then,' this is "not advertisement but rather a convenient place f informa tion for the student corpus. This week's grist to be released - for consumption this morning (see - New Book Shelf) leads off with a . group of as diversified, works of fic tion as you could wish foiv Those who like their biography sugar-coated in a fictional form will like This side Idolatry by C. "F. Bechofer Roberts who is the author of two pungent biographies under the name of "Eiphesian." The novel in question is based on the life of Charles Dickens I and presents what purports to be a debunked picture of the novelist,; par- . ticularly of- his family relations. It has been called by one whom I take to be a Dickens enthusiast "vulgar stupid and boring." Vulgar it may . be, stupid it may, be, but certainly no boring. ... , No seison's list of publications is complete without something by that 'prolific and protean lady, Mrs. L. Adams Beck who sometimes writes thrillers as "Louis Moresby" and who as E. Barrington" is herein repre sented by The Empress of Hearts This is a historical novel decorated with a galaxy, of prominent figures, . notable among which are Marie An toinette and, that, 'famous' charlatan, Caghostro. ' . Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle (Edgar Rice Burroughs) will be meat and drink to lovers of the "action" novel. From the illustrations' I gather' that Tarzan has dealings ; with a group of medieval knights , marooned in the depths of an African jungle. Bojar's recent work The Nev) Temple will ap peal to anybody who likes everything, including the scandanavian. '' Dickens runs strong this week, ap pearing again in a biography by Ralph Straus, who, although he offers little new information, takes advant age of much new material unavailable to earlier biographers and thus gives us a new slant on some aspects of the famous novelist's life. It is worth noting that, while lovers of Dickens everywhere are practically unamimous in execrating the Roberts novel men tioned above, they are equally unani mous, in their praise for the Straus biography. . v l'. Meet General Grant by W. E Wood ward, foremost of the debunk artists, is the other biography for the week. Mr. Woodward's work . is always in teresting ; to, those who believe that some of the .clouds of glory ; should be dispersed from around our heroes . of history. This book seemsHo be founded on the thesis 4hat Grant was a failure at. what he liked to do and a success at what he hated. Those also present include Our Historic Ancestors by H. F. Cleland, who offers a popular history of man's prehistoric affairs. The book is re plete with pictures; there are some especially entrancing views of home life among the pile dwellers, a curi ous Neolithic folk who inhabited swampsv and built their houses on stilts.

Send the TAR HEEL home j "Battle of the Sexes'' At the Carolina Today The progress of. motion pictures can best be seen in a comparison of production figures covering a period of fifteen years. When D. W. Griffith made the forerunner of "TheBattle of the Sexes" in five reels in 1913 one of the first full-length screen plays, the total cost of production did not ex ceed four thousand dollars. The pic ture had an all-star, cast then com posed of Owen Moore, Fay Tincher, Bobby Harron, Lillian. Gish, Donald Crisp and Mary Alden, all the most prominent names of the period. In comparison, "The Battle of the Sexes" which Griffith presents at the Carolina Theatre today cost approxi mately five hundred thousand dollars. The cast is composed of Jean Hdr sholt, Phyllis Haver, Belle Bennett. Don Alvarado and Sally O'Neill. borne one expert in fierures has estimated a modern feature production costs m the neighborhood of two thousand dollars an hour. Fifteen years ago this production cost hardlv ever exceeding fifty dollars' a dav. In "The Battle of the Sexes" the salaries of the stars alone exceeded in one day the total amount paid the live leading players of the old picture over a period of three weeks. - . , Rotary Club To Give Free-Movie . The Rotary Club of Chapel Hill, of which President Chase' and numerous faculty men and University officials are memDers, will sponsor a special show at the Carolina Theatre Satur day, November 24th, for the benefit of the poor of the community." Children under the age of 13 will be admitted to the theatre if some canned goods or other article of food is brought with them, and pre sented at the door. The food collected in this manner will he distributed bv the Rotary Club to the needy of Chapel Hill the day before Thanks giving. The entire club is cooperat ing with Manager Smith of the Caro lina Theatre to make a success of the plan one of the first to be under taken by the Kotarians. Holmes to Address The second meeting 'of the Cere Francais will be held, as before, in one of the social rooms of the Bap tist church, Friday evening, Novem ber 23, at 7:30 o'clock. Taking into consideration the large attendance at the last meeting, a" different room will be used in which those attending may be seated more comfortably. Dr. Urban T. Holmes of the French department will deliver a talk, the subject of which will be announced at a later date. vThe singing of the French musical comedy songs which was. postponed from last meeting will be done by a quartet coached by Dr. Lyons. The possibility of the Cercle's joining the National French fraternity of Beta Pi Theta will be discussed, and membership in this fraternity will be explained. A game or, two -will be played Jn order thit everyone may enter into the activities of the meeting. The Cercle desires that all instructors and - students of French attend its meetings in order to help and be helped in .speaking sis fluent conversational French as pos sible. ' '. - t ' ' ' ' Der Deutsche Verein Will Meet Tonight Der Deutsche Verein will hold its next meeting Thursday evening at seven-thirty o'clock in Phillips Hal 206. Messers. McCain and Bell wil give . short illustrated talks on their experiences of last summer in South ern Germany. Interest will center around bicycling, over the route through Munchen, Nurnberg, Heidel berg, Mainz, Koln, etc. y. The public is cordially invited to attend. Thursday, November 22, 1925 A CORRECTION Saturday's issue of the Tar Heel stated that the Extension Division was offering a foreign tour through Germany. This was a mistake, there will not be a German tour this year, but there will be a French tour and possibly an English. d only by co-operation on the "part of the entire student body.
