Upon entering the Friendly
Cafeteria yesterday noontime,
this reporter was agreeably sur
prised. Before him were rows
of neat brown tables with black
tops, the walls were furnished.
m craftex and decorated with
side lamps, and the tables where
food was distributed were spick
and spaij presenting an inviting
appearance. The harmony cre
ated by the brown wood-work
and brown decorations, as well
as the absolute spotlessness of
the entire cafeteria gave
pleasing and comfortable atmos
phere. Chapel Hill's latest caf
eteria had opened to the public.
About a half hour after the
cafeteria opened its doors it was
well filled. Students of the
University made up most of the
patrons though there were many
townspeople and members of
the faculty.
The new Friendly Cafeteria
is next to Sutton's Drug Store
and occupies the space which
was formerly the home of the
University Cafeteria. The build
ing has been remodeled during
the past few weeks and many
. improvements both for beauty
and for providing better service
have been made. This Friendly
Cafeteria! is similar to the
Friendly " Cafeterias which" are
now operating in Greensboro,
High Point, Winston-Salem, Dur
ham, and Charlotte. - Meal
tickets sold at the Chapel Hill
branch will be honored in all
these cities. '
All vegetables at the new caf
eteria are sold for five cents.
Meal tickets amounting to five
dollars and a half in value are
sold for five dollars. Another
special feature of the cafeteria
is the weekly boarding rate of
seven dollars, which is at the
rate of a dollar a day. JNO re-

No official statement has been
issued yet about the possible
closing down of the branch
plants of the Durham Hosiery
mills at Carrboro. Reports a
few weeks ago that the plants
were to close as soon as orders
on hand were filled, caused con
siderable concern locally. But
the mills are running on, and
some new orders received lately
has. given rise to the belief that
at least part of the plants will
continue to operate for an in
definite period. v
Mill number 7, the smaller of
the two main plants, will most
likely remain in -operation, even
after the negotiations are closed
that will affect the others. How
ever, if the larger one, mill num
ber 4, closes in a few weeks,
over a hundred people will be re
leased from employment in
Carrboro. A few workers have
already been let off as produc
tion slowed up. Some of these
have been placed in Durham
plants, and others have found
employment elsewhere.
The situation is uncertain. It
will take the course of two or
three more weeks, it is stated by
some of the of ficials, to get ar
rangements worked out. The
general textile depression has af
fected these mills, as .others,, and
plans for closing some of the
plants were made only after

May Frolic Dances
Close Social Week
A full week-end of dances
came to a close la'st night with
the last dance of the May Frol
ics. This dance, which was giv
en in the Bynum gymnasium,
was fully attended and, accord
ing to those attending, was
quite successful. .
Yesterday afternoon the sec
ond dance on the program of the
May Frolics was given in the
Washington Duke hotel from 4
to 6 o'clock Music for both of
the entertainments yesterday
was played by Jelly Leftwich
and his orchestra.
These dances, which were giv
en by six fraternities on the
Hill, was probably the biggest
set of dances before the finals
on June 10-12, at which time

Cunningham Constantine of
Birminghani, Ala., was instant
ly killed and three other stu
dents of the University were in
jured when an automobile in
which they were riding turned
over near Lynchburg, Va., late
Friday.
J. Fleming Wiley of Durham,
driver of the car, was scarcely,
injured, but Joe H. Carpenter
of Covington, Va., sustained a
possible fracture of the skull,
and T. Carlyle Smith, Jr., of
Asheville sustaine'd a fracture of
of the nose and minor abrasions.
These students, on the way to
Sweet Briar College to attend
social functions that were a part
of May Day exercises there, had
stopped to put up the top of the
roadster in which they were
driving about 14 miles south of
Lynchburg. In starting around
a curve, which is sharp and
downhill, the car skidded on the
wet highway and was thrown
down an embankment, entang
ling in a wire fence. ; "
Constantine fell underneath
the rear of the car and was im
mediately crushed to death,
while the others were thrown
clear of the car. There are ex
cellent chances for Carpenter's .
recovery, and it is expected that v
Wiley arid Smith1 will be released
from Memorial hospital in
Lynchburg within two or three
days.
According to a witness, the
roadster was traveling at a nor
mal rate of speed. None of the
young men had been drinking.
"Red" Constantine; as the
dead boy was , known here, was
a member of the junior class and
a member of the Sigma Alpha
Epsilon fraternity. He was
elected manager of the basket
ball team for next year. He was
well known and well liked on the
campus.

to Lynchburg where the body
was taken, and several of Con

In one part in the play, Bailey
was supposed to eat an apple,

Now life for him was beginning
to be a miserable affair. Just
when he thought that he was
"setting pretty," with every
thing done right, he would dis
