was far better than the average speech
of a veteran of the "stump," it ! did
little more than point out some of the
more obvious problems facing the
state at present. Mr. Gardner de
clared that his administration would
be directed first of all toward ame
lioration of the deplorable situation
in which agriculture is placed in. this
state. This is, of course, worthy of
high praise if carried . out. But
Governors of North Carolina have for
a hundred . years or more directed
their attention to betterment of the
farmer's lo.
. Quality rather than quantity pro
duction in industry, agriculture, edu
cation and every form of endeavor in
the state was stressed by Mr. Gard
ner as one of the crying needs of the
day. Any person familiar with present
conditions admits the truth of the
Governor's statements in this respect.
"As long as I am Governor I shall,
as far as I am able, see that not- a
single new spindle or new loom is in
stalled in this state.'' Quite natural
lyMr. Gardner is a cotton mill own
er himself, and there is no doubt that
the curse of the cotton manufacturing
industry is over-production.
No, Governor Gardner did not gain
the big ovation that he received here
on the strength of his speech Aalone.
His "good-f ellpw" attitude, his re
markable personal charm, earned the
affection of the audience. North Caro
lina'sviiew governor is essentially a
human, likeable sort of man.
Calvin Coolidge's famous six
words, "I do not choose to run", are
likely to give way to another well
known utterance of eight words which
he gave to history the other day, "I
don't expect to go back into politics''.
Maybe , his next" attempt at speech
making will be ten or . even twelve
words.
Saturday, May 11, 1929
Coolidge has accepted a directox
ship in the New York Life Insurance
Company, thus indicating his inten
tion of re-entering the business world.
But we can't understand why he
turned down a seventy-five thousand
dollar job as editor of a newspaper.
Perhaps these newspaper editors have
too much to say, of rather too little
to say in too many words.

Flotsam and Jetsam
By B. C. MOORE
N. C. C. W. Abolishes
Necking Concessions ;.'
Recently the powers that be at N.
C. C. W. installed Ja. number of spot
lights about the campus. Now there
are none of the cosily secluded nooks
on the campus that were the delight
of University men and N. C. girls
for years immemorial. The entire
' grounds within "boundaries" are now
bathed in the bright glow from the
spotlights at all hours of the evening,
It is a suspicious coincidence that
the lights were installed just in time
for the big Virginia-Carolina game in
Greensboro and the annual "open
house" that the N. C. C. W. girls stage
for the Carolina boys. Evidently the
authorities have little confidence in
the University students. They sensed
a possible menace to the morals of
their charges if the Carolina "'boys
were turned loose on the campus-
even though numerous female marti
nets continually pace about the cam-
v
pus during the "open house," making
sure that the boys and girls do not
take "necking privileges." , :
At any rate, the N. C. C. W. spot
lights are not conduciveto good-feeling
between the University students
and the officials in charge of , the
Greensboro institution. In fact, the
boys hereabouts are considerably
.peeved over the whole affair- and
they will be still more && after to
night, v '
The Governor Gets , 7
Away With Murder
Governor Gardner igot. away with
murder Thursday night,; . In trie pre
amble to his address at the Golden
Fleece tapping cerem&niesHhe Gover
nor declared that in his undergradu
ate days he would rather ' si speaker
had drawn a Colt .45 on him than a
manuscript.
Yet Mr. Gardner did that very
' thing, j There is nothing unusual in
the fact that he utalized a manuscript
college audiences have come to re
gard the manuscript reader as an un
avoidable evil. The remarkable thing
about the whole affair is that Gover
nor Gardner accentuated the disad
vantages of listening to the Teading
of a manuscript and then proceeded
to read a manuscript himself and
made his audience like it. . The fact
that the Governor got, away with such
a procedure attests to the virile, mag
netic personality of the man.
In itself the Governor's speech was
not particularly remarkable. While it
Somebody remarked the other day
that a news column should be either
informative or amusing, or both. We
feel the urge as this column makes
its debut to say that we don't care
whether it 'educates or entertains.
Such a . statement is - made" m self-
defense because it requires wit to do
either. Therefore, ladies and gentle
men, this column will merely record
in harum-scarum fashion whatever
at the opportune moment presents
itself. In other words, we' are very
happy to be here today.
Now that the formality of the thing
is over, we add as, a postscript that
if the few of you who read this col
umn don't particularly like it you can
start one of your own. At least you
can offer suggestions which will be
cheerfully or otherwise received.
Most of the students on the campus
seem to be engaged at the present
in pouring through the new Yackety
Yack. In every classroom (before
and sometimes during class, mostly
the latter), eating place, dormitory,
and fraternity house the person who
has already digested the material in
the annual feels himself out of place.
We must admit, too, that the Vanity
Fair section is excellent.
Debating has gained much ground
this year. Both the number and quali
ty of debates have improved, and at
tendance is actually improving, so the
casual observer would judge. Even
the freshman are taking an active
interest as the Davidson and Wake
Forest debates well point out. Cam
pus forensic activities are not com
pletely doomed, although many have
at times thought so.' It is hoped that
next year will be an even more suc
cessful one as far as debating is con
cerned. House Will Make
Chapel Talk Monday
R. B. House, executive secretary of
the University, will speak at chapel
Monday morning on "Democratic In
stitutions ' in North Carolina."
In his talk" Mr. House will discuss
participation by the people in politics,
education, religion, and government.
as it affects the present changing life
of the state.
Mr. House will be. the third of the
series of faculty speakers that are
speaking in chapel this spring on the
general theme of Understanding Con
temporary North Carolina History.
Professors Graham and Connor of the
history department have already ; de
livered lectures to the student body.
Fire Department
Has Quiet Month
The Chapel Hill fire department has
just finished one of the quietest
months on record. Chief , Foister re
ports that not a single call was sent
in during the month of April. This
is the first time in over two years
that an entire month has passed with
out" any calls.
March was 'also a pretty quiet
month. Several alarms were turned
in, but most of these proved to be
false. . .
A small gasoline fire Wednesday
brought the truck out, but this fire
was of small consequence.
An important contribution to medi
cal science has been made recently by
Dr. George L. Carrington, Carolina
'13, in the form of a cure for dia
phragmatic hernia.
The patient upon whom Dr. Car
rington performed a new and suc
cessful operation in two stages had
Deen given up as hopeless and in
operable" by sergeons in Baltimore
and Philadelphia to whom X-ray
photographs of the condition wetre
sent. The Mayo clinic had been un
successful in closing a similarly ex
tensive defect.
Injured in an automobile accident
when six years old, ten years passed
before the patient's condition be
came such that something had to be
attempted. The case was ; this :
The diaphragmatic rupture had
permitted the stomach and a large
portion of the intestines to enter the
left chest wall. The principle of the
operation was the reduction of the
area of the circle through which the
rupture occurred, by reducing the cir
cumference.
1
"We reduced the circumference by
removing the major portion of five
ribs. " That allowed the chest wall par
tially to collapse on the affected side.
The area to be covered by the dia
phram was thus greatly reduced. As
a consequence, there was sufficient
diaphragmatic tissue to cover the
necessary area, and the hole, as large
as a man's fist, could be swed . up
Dr. Carrington explained.
The fact that he has contributed
an invention that will enable former
ly hopeless cases of diaphragmatic
hernia to be cured gives Dr. Carring
ton rank among the best surgeons of
the present day.
The boy upon whom the operation
was performed is, now well and has
gained, .30 pounds since the operation.
While a student here at the Uni
versity, Dr. Carrington distinguished
himself as a leader. He was Editor-
in-chief of the Tar Heel; member of
Phi Beta Kappa, Amphoterothen,
Golden Fleece, and Sigma Upsilon,
and also a prominent athlete. He is
at present ja. surgeon in Burlington,
N. C, and an instructor in Clinical
Microscopy in the University Medical
School.
Chase On a Trip
Of Northern States
Another possible explanation of
the lengthy picture-gazing is the fact
that there are several individuals in
our midst who think they take good
pictures themselves.
Our own Hatcher Hughes has been
scheduled twice to speak before the
annual gatherings of the Carolina
Dramatic Association and has each
times wired his regrets at the. last
moment. If it is true that all good
things run in threes, those in charge
should schedule him for next year
with the knowledge that he won't
show up just to give state drama
lovers another thrill. Perhaps the
elusive Mr. Hughes then might actual
ly appear year after next.
The Tar Heel brings us news of
the recent appointments to high po
sitions of two distinguished alumni,
Robert Bingham Downs and Hamil
ton McRary Jones. But this is noth
ing out of the ordinary. Every week
or so there appears an article on the
achievements of certain former stu
dents here. Institutional training is
certainly not essential to success, but
after all there does seem to be some
thing in having a college education
since most Caorlina men appear to be
getting on in the yorld.
Professor R. W. D. Connor, in a
recent Chapel address, warned stu
dents as future citiens of North Car
olina to beware of the braggadocio
spirit. Evidently the. Professor thinks
we can't be boasters and builders at
the same time..
"ANNUAL CAROLINA- - VIR
GINIA CLASSIC AROUSING IN
TEREST", reads a news headline.
To some, it even outshines Horace and
Virgil. .'. "
Candidates Announced
For Recorder's Court
t
Since the recent passing of the bill
to provide a recorder's court here,
there have been two probable condi
dates for th office of recorder and
also for prosecuting attorney. 1
A committee to consider the quali
fications, fthe applicants will prob
ably be appointed at the meeting of
the board of aldermen next Monday
night. L. J. Phipps and C. P. Hin
shaw are the most likely candidates
for recorder; and B. D. Sawyer and
P. R. Whitley are Joeing cansidered
for the post of prosecuting attorney.
North Carolina Club
Meets Monday Night
The North Carolina Club will hold
its last meeting of the year Monday
night at 7:30 in Saunders 112. The
subject for discussion is "Problems of
Marketing and Retailing in North
Carolina." Prof. W. D. Taylor will
lead the discussion. This year the
club has been considering various as
pects of country life in the state. This
discussion of how the farmer markets
his produce and buys his supplies
bids fair to make a good discussion.

195 Year Old Campus
Tree Is Chopped Down
The large dead tree that has stood
in front of New West has been cut
down and will soon be carriedaway.
When the tree was cut it was found
by a count of the rings that it was
over 195 years old. The reason that
the tree died has not been determined,
but workmen venture ,the opinions
that it was killed by careless pruning
or by a fungus growth.
Church membership in the United
States has intreased over a million

Gentlemen:
I have a mania for crawling through
a number of unexplored caverns be
tween the towns of' Woodstock and
Mt. Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley.
One cave was exceedingly dangerous
with its tight' passages, etc. I spent
three hours in this cavity, groping
blindly with a "dead" flashlight and
a severed guiding string.
! To cut my story short, I was finally
rescued, by a searching party after a
terrible experience. It was a wonder
ful feeling as I sat at the mouth of the
cavern telling my friends that I would
not go back in there for love ncr
money. I meant it until I reached
for my can of Edgeworth. It was gone,
and I recalled dropping something
. during the excitement in the cave.
, It is queer what a man will do when
his favorite tobacco is concerned. I
realized that without my tobacco it
would be as bad as being lost in the
cavity so I crawled back.
It was a grand and glorious feeling
as my hand came in contact with the
Aristocrat of Tobacco."
Yours very truly,
