We have in our midst a real hero, Curtis Lee Bradley, award ed a bronze medal and a scholar ship by the Carnegie Hero Fund, for attempting the rescue of a drowning man. His voice was pleasing as ; it came over the wire, "I will be in at. Pio-M o'clock tonight." And " o - a few seconds before that hour I knocked on his door at 207 Manley dormitory. The, door was held open by a tall, blond young man, a muscu lar blue-eyed Nordic fellow.

" Tuberculosis Seal Sale Conducted By Community Club The anti-tuberculosis Christ mas seal sale is now being con ducted on the campus under the auspices of the Chapel Hill Community club health depart ment. The ob- ject is to assist! in sending cer tain well known cases of tubercu losis in Chanel Hill to the state sanatorium and to defray part of the expense of the colored nurse in Chapel Hill. Of every dollar collected from the sale of seals in this town; 75 cents remains in Chapel Hill for this purpose, 20 cents goes to the North Carolina Tubercu losis association, and 5 cents is used for printing seals, posters and advertising matter. The 75 cents thus collected will help supply a nurse for which $450 is needed, and the tuberculosis emergency cases in town which need immediate at tention require $150. The patients who are the greatest menace to the students in the community are among the servants attached to various food dispensing units here. The cost of sending a patient to the sanatorium is one dollar per day. There are actually 50 active known cases in Chapel Hill and since the town cannot tax its people that amount per day the only salvation for these unfortunate people is the raising of this, money through the Red Cross. Dr. N. B. Adams will address the Spanish club at its regular monthly meeting tonight at 7 :30 o'clock in the parish house of the Episcopal church. W. A.

Another House Burned On Old Fraternity Row - - o- : Delta Sigma Phi House Almost Completely Destroyed By Early Morning Fire; Most of Furniture and Clothing Saved. o (By F.J. M.) Today, Friday the 13th, may hold its terrors for many but Thursday, December 12th, will long be remembered by the mem bers of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity as one which saw Lady Luck far, far away from Fraternity Row. No one definitely knows just who first noticed the clouds of smoke and bits of flame which were pouring from a r.oom on the second floor. Allen Marshall or B. Ritchie were among the" first to be awakened from their sleep. As soon as they realized that it wasn't an aftermath of the initiation they had had of W. A. Starbuck of Winston Salem nor an attempt by the University to reclaim the prop erty along the Row, they jumped up and notified the nine men sleeping in the house.

Williams) In the first local intercollegiate '.debate of the season the Tar Heel debaters last night won a unanimous decision over the forensic artists from Wake For est On "Resolved, that the nations of the world should adopt some plan of complete dis armament, except for such forces as are needed for police purposes." Carolina's represent atives, G. P. Carr and-T. E. Denton, upheld the affirmative side of the issue. The Wake Forest negative aggregation was composed of W. A. Bostic and A. fB. Carroll. Last evening H. H. Hobgood and T. M. Mashburn debated against N. C. State in Raleigh. In this fray the local representa tives took the negative end-of the query, thus rounding out the Carolina - Wake Forest -N. C. State triangular debate. The decision had not been learned when this issue of the Tar Heel went to the press. The Carolina-Wake Forest de bate in Bingham hall last night was well-attended, the question of disarmament being one of the foremost political issues in the field of national and internation al politics at present. Professor George McKie of the depart ment of public speaking presid ed. Both teams treated fully the effect which disarmament would have on international trade, with special reference to the effect which it would have upon the commercial policies of the Unit ed States. Both teams gave thorough consideration to every phase of the question of disarm ament in both its national and international implications. The discussion from start to finish was an intelligent one and .showed profound knowledge of the question, as attested by the interest shown by the audience. force to arouse Ward to the close danger. Once fully awake and cog nizant of the seriousness of the conflagration, Ward immediate ly tried to get in touch, through telephoning, with the fire de partment. The proper connec tions 'could not be made and Ward hastened back to his room to join with the others in re claiming and saving as much of their property as possible. After packing most of his belongings and entrusting them to the safe keeping of some helpful neigh bor, Ward, in company with Ritchie, dashed down to the fire house in an automobile.

Whitton) The wind whistles by, he banks slightly to make this turn, but not quite enough and he side-slips a bit, comes out of it, and 'continues on his way, wing ing over the vast expanse of ter ritory far below; The field comes into view as a small light speck ; he runs on with the throttle wide open. The field comes clos er ; he noses down, approaches the field, and makes a perfect three-point landing. The plane coasts to a stop. He steps out on solid ground once again, and the trip is over. He has had the long desired; experience of piloting an air plane, and as he relinquishes his seat to the next man, he agrees that the conditions in the model airplane and controls which is on demonstration in Phillips hall is surely life-like. ; - Another student sits at the controls, but we really wouldn't care to ride with this budding aviator. He makes a jerky take-off, and the manouvers he performs .with the plane are enough to make one swear off NUMBER 70 Y DELEGATES GO TO RALEIGH RIEE Members From the Senior-Junior, Sophomore, and Fresh man Cabinets Attend State Y Conference. Dr. John R. Mott, famous Y leader, gave an interesting talk Wednesday to a group of Y dele gates attending a conference at State College. The subject of his discourse was "World Re- j lationships." After being introduced by Major C. C. Early, head of the military instruction at State College, Dr. Mott began his speech by saying that the doors of the foreign countries were opened to the United States as he had never before seen them. He gave three reasons for say ing this. "First," he said," I say this because of the rising tide of nationalism; second, be cause of the plastic age of the world today ; and finally, because of the rising spiritual tide." He continued by stating, "I find far more interest in religion than I have ever seen before, and I also notice a great returning tide of faith." When asked if he thought that the foreign countries wanted the United States to come in, he re plied in the affirmative. "But," he said, "there are a great many commercial companies of the United States in .the foreign lands that are causing a grad ual decrease of this desire for us to come in." Dr. Mott closed his talk by answering a great number of questions of the dele-' gates. From 75 to 100 delegates at- tended this conference, and the colleges represented were the University, Duke, N. C. C. W., State, E. C. T. C, Wake Forest, and others. Those going from the University Y were: from the junior-senior cabinet Jimmie Williams, Ed Hamer, Joe Eagles, Johnnie Lang and Beverly Moore; from the sophomore cabinet J. Elwin Dungan, John Parks and F. M. James ; and from the freshman council Alex Webb, Bob Barnett, Wil liam McKee, Charles Brawley, Charlie Rose, Schuyler Schenck, Charlie Rose and Schuyler Schenck. Mr. Comer and Grady Leonard also attended. that form of transportation for ever. He goes up with such force that one would surely hit the ceiling, if there were any such thing in the sky. Then as if to make up ; for that unexpected thrill, he dives the plane earth ward. Things reach a crisis, and he jerks the controls again. The plane responds perfectly, and up we go. Then as if this were enough- he decides to land, and such a landing. Hold your teeth everybody! He gets, out of the "plane," and another young "pilot" takes his place to experience the thrills of really piloting a plane, even kif it is only a miniature which is 'so arranged that it cannot give one a spill but can still furnish all the thrills. So it continued, first one and then another, and everyone had taken the oppor tunity to pilot the plane. All day yesterday and again today the machine is being dem onstrated in the mechanical en gineering laboratory in Phillips hall, and students are welcome (Continued on last page) i
