Ramsay Elbert Denning Sherman Shore Saturday, October 12, 1929 Tar Heel Topics Well, we see where we'll have to start saving up for the trip to Pasadena to watch the 'Tar Heels win the national championship. Yesterday morning Shorty Branch was heralded as "a sec ond Stumpy Thomason," but this morning Stumpy might be adequately described as "a sec ond Shorty Branch. Will some obliging gent tell us the name and address of the company which manufactures the yo-yo? We want to send them a bill for all the publicity their product has been receiving in the Daily Tar Heel recently. 'Go ahead Carolina; win all you can now. It'll be that much Such was the message of broth erly love expressed in a tele gram received from several Duke students by the radio station at 1 Raleigh and broadcast during the Tech game yesterday after noon. We always suspected that there were numerous psy chopathic (Probably psyehopa thetic would be the more appro priate adjective) , cases at Duke We Toss A Few Bouquets Perhaps never before in the history of the University has the student body been so enthused as it is today over the brilliant victory at Atlanta. Roseate dreams of a national champion ship are uppermost in the minds of every Carolina man. The Tar Heels rose to heroic heights as they submerged the Golden Tornado, claimant of the national title last year. It was no easy task; every Caro lina player on the field did his part in marvelous fashion. Yes terday's victory . represents the culmination of two, even three years of heart-breakin effort on the part Of many of the play ers. To them' especially the nation-wide acclaim that' they are receiving comes as a well-deserved reward. Much of the credit for Caro lina's excellent showing belongs to Coaches Collins and Cerney. For more, than three years they have been the targets for caus tic criticism; bitter disappoint ment has been theirs game after game as they watched their charges go down in defeat. This fall the system which they in stalled here four years ago has borne fruit. -The Tar Heels have reached the ; highest pin nacle attained by a North Caro- inaf ootball team since the game was Ints infancy, and Collins and Cerney are chiefly respon sible. Bouquet tossing and bestow ing of laural wreaths are in or der, and we nominate the entire Carolina team, together with the coaching staff,' as recipients. Chapel HiU "Gees Modern" Four years ago we considered Chapel Hill the most attractive village that we had ever seen. There was none of the garish newness, the blatant "best little town in the country" atmosphere about the place; it was delight ful in its tranquility, in the ab sence of the obnoxious civic "booster" with his hypocritical heartiness and his painfully ob vious mediocrity. Even the un paved sidewalks and the ram shackle old business buildings had an elusive sort of charm. Since we first came here the beauty of the University cam pus has been greatly enhanced, but the village itself has lost much of its unostentatious charm. In a few brief years the place has been completely transformed ; it has grown from a quiet, scholarly little village into a briskly sophisticated col lege town. In the process it has gained little and lost much. The Chapel Hill of today has an as sumed smartness, a hard glitter that oftentimes becomes tawdry. Although traces , of the old vil lage still remain, in the form of several time-honored buildings, they shamefacedly retire into the shadows of the shining new structures that have arisen. Smart street lights, a stop sig nal, paved sidewalks and many other modern "improvements" proclaim that Chapel Hill is now a town. Doubtless the Chapel Hill of today is more progressive, more business-like than the village that it replaced, but it has be come cheap and commonplace, similar to thousands of other small American towns. The met amorphosis of Chapel Hill was inevitable, perhaps, but it is none the less to be regretted. North Carolina gained just an other town and lost its most picturesque and charming village when Chapel Hill "went mod- Tlie Campus r pi M By Joe Jones To anyone in search of a pleasant and convenient forest trail down which to walk these fine autumn days I should like to recommend the path leading into the woods directly back of Kenan stadium field house, fits ready accessibility from the campus and the great natural beauty of the region it traverses combine to make it peculiarly attractive to students who would get themselves into the woods for an hour or so of a sunny afternoon. one of ''the finest. The stream swings iri a great curve to the northwest so that the broad sandy beach on the inner bank of the horseshoe is bathed in ! sunlight all afternoon. Here is an irresistable invitation to lie in warm, dry sand. Back of the beach is the forest of tall trees, before it the creek sings a mer ry note, while straight up from the thither shore rise the, green ery festooned cliffs that are Laurel Hill. Far from any habitation, shut in from the winds on both sdies, and with sunlight pouring from above, this strand has a distinct air of peace and solitude. Jit is indeed a place, for the linking of beauty and long thoughts. ern Mexico Shocks The.World An AP dispatch under recent date from Mexico City tells of the adoption of a new penal code in Mexico which suppresses the jury system and abolishes the death penalty. The act was pro mulgated by President Gil un der the powers granted him by Congress. Trial by bodies of alienists and other experts will replace a jury trial. Special committees will be- created to take charge of convicts upon the completion of their imprison ment so as to fit them to resume their places in society. Fines will be imposed according to the income of the person affected. Abolition of the jury system and trial by experts and alien ists has long been discussed by people interested in criminology but no country has seen fit so far to experiment with a new system; perhaps the bonds of tradition and prejudice are too strong to be broken easily. The oretically trial by experts should prove the most effective method of dealing with criminals. Whether it will work or not will depend largely upon the person nel appointed to handle it and upon the moral support given by the public. Whether such a rad ical departure can be given a fair trial in Mexico, is controversial at least. That such a seemingly back Ward and chaotic nation as Mexico should take such a for ward and progressive steps in handling criminals is surprising:. The other nations of th'd world will watch with keen interest the working out of this proposal, some with apprehension lest it should work, and some 'with a sympathetic spirit of co-operation. Whatever the outcome may be, it is indeed a "noble ex periment."- J. D. M. The. timbered valley leading from the stadium to Meeting of the Waters, and on to Morgan's Creek, is one of the fairest local ities near Chapel Hill. Down its length flows a brook, and along side the brook there twists and winds the path of which I have just written. It leads over roots and around lichened rocks," but is well beaten and easy to fol low. It is overshadowed by tulip trees, beeches, oaks, and hick ories, whose yellow and pale green foliage transmutes the October sunlight into dappled gold. A wind sighs through the tops of these trees, but down be low is stillness. On the smooth, gray trunks of the ancient beeches are carved hundreds of initials, both of stu dents present and students gone before, while one lofty tulip tree is possessed of the" most complete set of sapsucker pits I have ever seen. The entire bole is girdled by ring upon ring of the tiny holes, perfectly drilled and in flawless alignment. I wonder why the sapsuckers find le vin of this tree more refreshing than any other in the woods. . The path is bordered by shrubs and lowly plants ; such as sassa fras, redbud, crimson-berried dogwood, and alder; Solomon's seal, bloodroot, ferns, and moss es. There are a few stragglers of purple asters, but most au tumn blossoms don't flourish in deep shade. Of course innumerable birds may be seen, chiefly of .such sorts as chewinks, " warblers, thrushes, wrens, jays, wood peckers and cardinals. There are a great many other lovely spots in these "Orange woods, and much pleasure may be had in seeking them out. I am glad that this university is set in the midst of a wilderness, a wilderness traversed by allur ing footpaths leading away to such delightful spots as Meeting of the Waters, Laurel Hill, Vale of lone, Flirtation Knoll, Glen Lee, Anemone Spring, and Trys ting Poplar. They say that President Kemp Plummer Battle in surcease of his arduous University tasks used to walk these paths and keep them cleared. Some of them have grown faint since thensome are lost, but until the last student gets an automobile I think there will be someone lingering down the dim trails on warm Sunday afternoons in re membrance of him "who knew and loved these woods as no one else." ' - Readers' Opinions Not far down the valley one comes upon Meeting of the Waters, where the. two stream lets, Rockspring and Chape branch, tumble into each other and bicker away together. Here is a profusion of bowlders scat tered about in such a manner that the waters trickle between them with a pleasant sound. The top of the largest is so broad that two may climb up and sit comfortably side by side. To get back to Chapel Hill without retracing your steps fol low the path from here down stream a short distance till an alder thicket is reached. Then, walking uphill to the left, you'll run right into an open, field, at present f ujl of cowpea vines. On uuiu ome ui tins pai.cn is the Country Club road which will lead you directly back to Chapel Hill. The entire trip out lined in the above paragraphs may be walked in less than an hour. The U. S. produced 29,428,000 pounds of hops in 1926. However, anyone preferring, a longer walk - will find pleasure in going to Laurel Hill. To reach there one may start out the Ra leigh pike, turn right at the bot tom of the hill into the dirt road, follow that to Morgan's creek, and continue up the right bank in a fairlv wpII rtafinori oi. which leads to Laurel Hill in a few minutes.

" While we felicitate you on our essential Oneness in Yo-Yo, we beg to point out that in the really and truly world of vital statistics and geometrical prop ositions, we are in fact two sep arate and distinct human beings; or at least we try to be. For the sake of our genealogy we have placed at the delivery desk in the library a copy (un marked, in accordance with the best library etiquette) of the ap parently not-so-well-known-as-it- might-be, but-never-the-less-im- mortal, Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, The Mikado.

NORMAN HAPGOOD NOW IN EUROPE Norman Hapgood, writer on literary, civic and educational subjects, whose nefbook "Why Janet Should Read Shakespeare" has just been published by The Century Co., is now in Europe for a period of years on "fam ily educational tour." Believing that, as. the world draws closer together, it is of special impor tance that children Jbe educated in modern languages and knowl edge of other countries, v he is sending two of his children to a French school for a year and to a German school for the year following. He himself, with Mrs. Hapgood, is going to visit Palestine and Athens, the two most interesting places, in his opinion, in their contribution to world culture. 'He is also going to travel slowly through the Mediterranean countries and try to find out why- almost all of them seem to prefer dictator ships. He will make a special study of the Swedish system of liquor control, and he also wants to find out how the World War is' presented to school children in the various countries of Europe. Dr. E. C. Branson in Improved Condition Dr. Eugene C. Branson, head of the department of rural social ecenomrcs of the University and one of the country's leading au thorities on rural problems, who has been ill at his home here with influenza and pneumonia, was reported as resting well and being improved last night. Dr. Branson was taken ill two weeks ago, influenza settling in his lungs, and pneumonia de veloping. -He still has a rather high temperature, but his phy sicians regard his condition as favorable. Many Tourists Make First ,': Sound Debut Tourists from Indiana, Michi gan, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and Texas, with probably represent atives from nearly -every other state in the union, all uncon sciously have played in their first talking picture. Sound scenes for Paramount "Woman Trap" were successful ly made in downtown Los An geles on oie of the busiest streets in the west. The scenes, photo graphed and sound recorded on South Broadway during the noon Hour period, are a part of "Woman Trap," all-talking fea ture at the Carolina theatre to day To photograph the scenes un known to the thousands of peo ple on the sidewalks, Director William Wellman had his cam eras and microphones hidden in a packing case, mounted on a store delivery truck and pulled by two attendants, wearing the caps and uniforms of porters. Small wires, wound on rees, connected the camouflaged cam era truck with the sound record ing wagon that was parked at the curb. The sound truck had every outward , appearance of being a moving van and attract ed no attention. EYES CORRECTLY FITTED W. B. SORRELL DR. R. R.
