This life might be exactly what we want, but one , could consider before doing . away with this one that we don't know anything about the next one. ; Graduate , students wouldn't find it difficult to have one idea of their own a day, if in their role of undergraduate they had tried cultivating an idea once a week. . - , Buddy Hackman s Scores Again, - Buddy Hackman, better known as t a football player than as President of the University . of Tennessee student body, certain ly scored for Tennessee in His telegram to the Editor of . the Daily Tar Heel inviting our stu dent body to be the guests of Tennessee for the game next Saturday. The Tennessee halfback is un doubtedly one of t)ie best backs in the South and we are inclined to think him one of the best student body ; presidents in this part of the country. He has impressed uS : as much by his telegram as he would by scoring many touchdwns against the Tar Heel team. Such expressions from rival institutions do more to improve relations than any number of PARAGRAPHICS federations or love feasts. Carolina, doubtlessly, -would welcome Tennessee here for the game and the athletic authori ties have in the past admitted students of other institutions to Carolina games at a nominal charge. The attendance of Tar Heels will be determined largely by the outcome of the Georgia game this afternoon. But we would like to see a good delega tion from here out there next Saturday, and if we could ex tend the same invitation to Ten nessee for next year's contest it would make the rivalry be tween thejrwo teams keener but on a higher level than many rivalries. The Aye's And No's Of The Campus By George Wilson A very cordial 1 invitation from the president of the stu dent body of the University of Tennessee has been received asking that Carolina students at tending the game between the two institutions be the guests of Tennessee while in Knoxville. From all indications, Tennessee will be host on a large scale next Saturday. The greater part of pledging is about over and freshmen are beginning to be put in their place with a, bang, with a lots of bangs. Remarked, one sophomore, "We have tolerated a freshman's smoking bad cigars for over fh-roo wxpL-3 nnw hut. wp'11 &pt. to the bottom of the matter right ! away." - The show "Whoopee" was being discussed and the story about the mother skunk who said "Let us pray" was retold. A freshman disagreed with the in terpretation and said : "Weren't they porcupines ?" Sometime we are going to take the whole day off to go down to the free weighing machines an d . get the statistics on the number weighing the machine. One machine, from the hours of eight in the morn ing until seven in the evening, had weighed 487 persons, and was still going strong. ' . A very bright young.man re ceived a quiz grade the other day and made a slight change in a famous quotation : "Where others have failed, I have failed also." ; Everybody has been comment ing on the best coffee in Chapel Hill. With the number of eating-palaces, this is a very broad statement. JNevertheless we know where the worst is made. With rushing season over and only the freshman game, this week-end is the time to put in a lot of good, hard studying. Dr. Bonn, the German econo mist, spoke on German pro blems Thursday night, but that did not keep the economics de partment from ' giving a num ber of quizzes Friday. Well, we do have a good alibi. We turn to sweet and tender poetry, borrowing heavily upon a modern poet : Hush, little freshman, don't you cry, You'll be a frat man by and by, When the paddles begin to sweep, You'll have reason then to weep. Silver Tongue Quartet on Air The Silver Tongue Quartet, four gifted Negro singers of Chapel Hill, will broadcast their spirituals from station WPTF, Raleigh, between 11:30 and 12 o'clock Sunday morning. The singers are Nathaniel Sellars, J Thomas Booth, Lewis Booth, and Walter Hackney. The Peter Steele Arsenal By Louis Graves Wilbur Daniel Steele, the cele brated short story writer, came home from the North Monday;! and if by chance the Chapel Hill ! police paid a visit to his atflc floor they would probably make a report justifying the head line, "Notorious Gangster Here from New York." ; I For here, where Edwin Greenlaw used to engage in the peaceful work of a scholar, is an array of the most murderous-looking weapons ever seen in the village pistols and rifles and bolo knives and cutlasses and daggers. But they are not meant for slaughter, although they were used lustily for that purpose in times past. The master of the house has nothing to do with these wea pons. They are the property of his 12-year-old son, Peter, Steele. The boy has been col lecting them for three years, and now has 64 pieces. . One of them, a sword, dates back to the reign of Louis XIV and, indeed, is said to have been used on a boar hunt by the Grand Mon arch himself. King Louis would go out with his company of noblemen and lesser lights ; these hangers-on would do the preliminary irksome j ob of rounding up the boar and wounding it to the point of death, and then the king would saunter upon the scene and des patch the beast with a thrust of the sword. If Peter wanted to, he could a5d ?.? mT? for h!,s collection ; but like all true col lectors he spurns the idea of gold. All he is interested in is adding to his arsenal. He uses all. his available pocket money for that purpose and frequently, when his own resources are low, makes a raid upon the parental purse. ' , The first thing he showed me, when we mounted to the attic Monday evening, was a tiny ob ject which he described as a messenger pistol of 1820. It had a secret trigger, and in the butt was a compartment to hold the message from the prime minis ter or the ambassador or the general-in-chief. Then there was a French flintlock pistol of 1760 ; and a Moorish pistol with an elabor ately carved butt; and two East Indian daggers; and a Turkish blunderbuss pistol of 1790; and the pistol of a captured Cuban brigand; and a bolo knife from the Philippines, which was used for chopping wood as well as heads and necks ; and a Siamese bandit's sword in a wooden scabbard bounded about with cord. Arid there were rifles a Mauser, an Enfield, an Albini Tersen from Belgium and old muskets of the days when the load of powder and shot ) was pushed in from the muzzle. And many other pieces, the nature of which I can't remember. Peter knows the story of each one. The thought occurred to me, as he reeled off all the data, that he had probably learned more history from these arms than he would learn at school in several years. His zeal in col lecting thein has guided his fancy bac through the cent uries and through the far-off lands of the world. It must make history vivid to have a dagger with which one of the wives of Suleiman stole along a palace corridor to , make way with a too comely rival, or a cut lass used by a buccaneer on the Spanish Main. "When did you start this col lecting, and why?" I asked Peter. And I learned that his hobby used to be collecting stamps. But by the time he had reached the age of nine that was too tame. On Nantucket Island in the summer of 1927 he got a job as assistant in a curio shop, and this was when he made his farewell to stamps and took to arms. His grandmother start ed him off on his collection by buying an old pistol for him. Since then he has received gifts from his parents friends com ing back from their travels and from stage .people who had to have ancient weapons for use in historical plays, and he has made some lucky finds in junk shops. His eyes glitter when he dis plays his guns and pistols, and swords, and as he waves them this way and that he gives you the impression that he I might like to make a few experiments in mayhem right on the spot. You begin to grow alarmed and presently suggest that perhaps it is time to go downstairs where the rest of the folks are discuss ing art and literature in the liv ing room. But Peter is not, after all, so very fierce. He lapses easily into civilized occupations. After we descend from the at tic I am informed that this young warrior is taking piano lessons from Mrs. Fred McCall. Internationally Noted Organist To Play Here (Continued from first page) sense of rhythm." Eugene Stimson, in the Chicago Daily Journal, declares : "A clear and careful ear, excellent technical co-ordination and a tasteful choice of registration as the in strument in Orchestra Hall seems to permit," gave Mr. Eigenschenk's performance ,un usually impressive character and distinction." . . . . . - . . , . i . ; Several criticisms as favorable as the ones in the leading Chi cago papers appeared imme diately after Mr. Eigenschenk appeared as organist with the Chicago Solo Orchestra at the premier performance of "Weav er of Tales," written by the con ductor, Eric Delamarter. This same rendition was given at Wanamaker's in Philadelphia at the invitation of the National Association of Organists Con vention of 1926, and elicited favorable criticisms by the -foremost judges of .organ perform ance. At present, the artist is in the midst of an extensive tour - of the South, and plans to be in this section some time before the concerts in Chapel Hill. While here he will be enter tained by Professor Nelson O. Kennedy, of the University fac ulty, who is a very close friend of Mr. Eigenschenk's. BONN DISCUSSES GERMAN POLITICS " (Continued from page one) in the midst of a great world crisis. The peace of Versailles brought about a great change in German politics. It saddled the country with a great indemnity, growfng numbers of unemploy ed, and opened it to foreign in fluence. (On paper it seemed that Germay had full sovereign ity, but in practice it was dic tated to by foreign powers.) Be sides this foreign soldiers were still in German territory, in fact it was not until four months ago that the last foreign soldier left Germany. Meanwhile Germany had to make good the havoc of war. A period of dreadful in- Today FIFI DORSA Y in "THOSE THREE FRENCH GIRLS" flation came on, wrecking the fortunes of, many, and putting the financial burden on the peo ple To ' help stabilize the economic order it was suggest ed that industries be brought under the government control, but according to the Versailles treaty any government pro perty is liable for reparation. Then began the struggle to get a franchise, which both the economic and political orders would agree upon." v Contrasting Germany with other European countries Dr. Bonn said that the English love liberty, the French equality, but that the Germans have a strong er passion, fthat of loving order. Following the lecture there were several questions asked by members of the audience. One Betsy Ann Shop Lovely Fall Coats at ery Attractive Prices FANCY ICES , SHERBETS DURHAM ICE CREAM CO., Inc.

When the price of wheat fell so far that everyone saw a new level had been established, A&P cut the price of its pullman .wrapped loaf. It's the policy of A&P to give its customers the savings on raw material. ' J : There is another good reason for this reduction. American farmers are suffering from a glut of wheat. There's more than enough to go 'round a bushel apiece for everyone in this country over Sast year's supply. Congress has tried to help. President Hoover put the Farm Board to work. But the farmers are still overloaded with wheat. An extra slice a meal for :ach of us would do the trick-and at A&P rices it wouldn't cost much. lie best way to get rid of our surplus stock is to ncourage the people to eat it up.
