DAILY TAR HEEL
WINS APPROVAL
Has Wide Circulation for Col
lege Newspaper; Receives
Favorable Comments From
Notables.
Attracted by the work .of the
Daily Tar Heel, many persons
throughout the entire United
States have sent in requests for
copies of this paper. Dr. A.
Herbert Gray of England, Gov
ernor Sweet of Colorado, and
Kirby Page, editor of the "World
Tomorrow" are only a few who
have made requests for copies
of the Tar Heel.
Dr. Herbert Gray, noted for
his work with Ramsay McDon
aid, has visited probably all of
the larger universities and col
leges in this 'country. After
seeing a copy of the Daily Tar
Heel, Dr. Gray stated that of all
the college papers he had seen
he had never seen one with
such mature thought and sound
reasoning as the Tar Heel.
Another reauest" came for a
copy from ex-Governor Sweet,
nf Colorado. When here, Gov
ernor Sweet was highly impress
ed with the fine calibre of the
Tar Heel, and before making
one of his talks, he stopped long
enough to comment on the paper
itself. He spoke very highly of
the work of the -paper.

Today is the last day upon

Paul Robertson is the regis

Anybody who has already reg

at the last election is not re

some communities, in the state a
new registration has been de

The primary contest of chief
interest is that between F. M.
Simmons and J. W. Bailey for
the Democratic nomination for
United States senator. Sim
mons has been a senator for
about thirty years and until re
cently he was undisputed - boss
of the Democratic organization

Chapel Hillian Signs Contract
For Ferdinand Foch's Memoirs
Cable despatches from Paris
bring the news that Ralph H.
Graves, native of Chapel Hill
and alumnus of the University,
has - obtained . the American
rights for; the publication of the
memoirs of the late Marshal
Ferdinand Foch, generalissimo
of the Allied armies in the
World War. Representing
Doubleday, Doran & Co., he sign
ed the contract with Mme. Foch,
widow of the marshal, last week
in Paris.
The memoirs,- about 150,000
words in length, will be publish
ed serially in several newspa
pers before appearing in book
form.
Mr. Graves went to Europe
several weeks ago. His friends,
in Chapel Hill and elsewhere,
understood that he had been
sent there by Doubleday, Doran
on some important mission, but
they did not know what it was
until they read the cable des
patches about the Foch memoirs.
"The late marshal's design in
writing his memoirs," says the
New York Times, "was to make
a book which would be interest
ing for the general reader and
which wouldTiot be just a tech
nical handbook or as dry recital
of events. His style as in all his
military orders, is clear, terse
and brief. On the reader the
impression left is pne of per
fect clarity and truth.
"The , book is written dispas
sionately it -was done before
other publications gave rise to
the posthumous - Clemenceau
Foch controversy and is full of
flashes of humor and anecdotes
about all the leading figures of
the war, such as King George,
Earl Kitchener, Sir John French,
who later became Earl of Ypres,
Lord Roberts, Lord Milner,
General Bliss, David Lloyd
GeorgeColonel House. General
Plumer, Marshal Petain, Gen
eral Mangin, Marshal Joff re,
General Pershing and General
Sir Douglas Haig, later Earl
Haig.! As much attention: is
giveir to the r operations iof the
American and British' armies' as
to the French'and -Marshal Foch
is generous" and just" to his col
ing Bailey. Bailey was internal
revenue: commissioner for this
district under Woodrow Wilson,
and he ran against A. W. Mc
Lean as an antikrganization
candidate for governor in 1924.
He put up a creditable struggle
in that contest but was defeat
ed. Since then he has devoted
himself to the practice of law in
Raleigh. He took an active part
in the 1928 presidential cam
paign in support of both the na
tional and state Democratic tick
ets. ' :
The contest of most local in
terest here is the one between
John W. Umstead of Chapel Hill
and J. Clyde Ray of Hillsboro
for the Democratic nomination
for the state senate. Mr; Um
stead is well known and popular
here, and thercis no doubt that
Chapel Hill will give him a rous
ing majority.
L. J. Phipps and Sam Gattis,
rJr., are running for the state
house of representatives, S. W.
Andrews for register of deeds,
W. T. Sloan for sheriff, A. W.
Kenion for clerk of the court,
and pr. S. A. Nathan for eor-oner.
leagues and to the men who
fought under his command.
"The Marshal's manner of
writing was curious. The me
moirs wem;:almost . .... entirely
written in his own hand. Such
parts as were retyped were care
fully corrected and interlined.
When a correction or addition
was long the Marshal marked
the place for the insert and
wrote On the back of each sheet.
"The Marshal deals fully with
all his controversies with Gen
eral JPershing, Marshal Haig
and Georges Clemenceau and it
will be found that his own ac
count differs in some cases from
those which have already been
given to the public in each
case he explains his- decisions
and tells why he stuck to his
own view or yielded to the oppo
sing arguments.
"The book will be illustrated
with facsimile letters and orders
not hitherto published on some
of the crises of the war and the
rivalries of the leaders. Marshal
Foch's meeting with General
Pershing, their varying opinions
and plans, their compromise and
conclusions and on the whole
their united efforts are the sub
ject of many pages. '
"Colonel Bentley Mott, v Mili
tary Attache of the American
Embassy here, whose life of the
late Ambassador Herrick was
published recently, has consent
ed to translate the memoirs.
During 1918 he was a liaison
aide to Marshal Foch"

Gif t to Gimghouls
Italian Presents Hickerson With Fix
- ture for Castle
A well-dressed and smiling
stranger halted his car at T. F.
Hickerson's gate one day last
week, walked up the . path, and
knocked at the door. Mr. Hick
erson, responding to the knock,
saw that the man held in his
hands an object made of iron.
"I have brought this to you
for a gift," said the stranger.
He was A. Germino, an Ital
ian craftsman who lives in Dur
ham. "I came over here and saw
your Gimghoul castle," he ex
plained., "It reminded me of
buildings in my own land, Italy,
and I want to give you this for
your big door."
The object was a" cleverly
fashioned wrought-iron fixture
constituting a frame for a lock.
The Gimghouls had been want
ing just such a thing for a long
time, and it was gratefully ac
cepted by Mr. Hickerson.
Mr. Germino came to this
country thirty-five years ago
and has been living in Durham
about three years. He is inter
ested in art and literature as
well as in his craft. One of his
sons is named Romeo and the
other Dante.
