that there seems so be some- ■
thing in the air of our neigh j

at each other like two gangs ci ;

so it looked to us from our seat.!
We can't swear to what was go- ;

And the Herald, telling of the
Durharo-Henderson high school
contest the very next day,
speaks of it as a “hectic game,
featured by wild passing, fights
and near fights. • * ♦ * •
The remainder of the game was
a see-saw affair, marked by
many substitutions, much
wrangling and display of ill tem

were several attempts to start
fights among the player* and it
required the hardest sort of
work on the part of coaches, of
firialsand others to keep order

Bnilding Lair Needed
Chapel Hill should have a
modern building law embodying
restriction* upon private under
takings for the benefit of, the
village ae *a whole. - There art
persofte who, because they have
given no thought to the sub
ject* will see Id this suggestion
a threat to individual rights.
But it is no such threat. On
the contrary, proper restrictions
era a safeguard to owners and
developers of land, and enhance
rather then endanger values.
The correct way to go about
x tho job ia not to try to put into
effect, ah at onee, a “city plan”
'that seeks to carry out a thoory
*f perfection. Public opinion
.fiats, in Us pfTffwt state, would
.not support such regulation of
.the details of bmkfing as was in
| force years ago in Europe and
has lately been embraced by;
of the large cities of
! America. Let a start with;
jthese two steps: First, estab
]feh building fines act a certain
distance from street fines* riak-j
hsg a difference, of course. be
tween business ißrfrrt« »»d
3 home, districts. Second, create
based open the use and.
daracter of building, to prevent ]
the USB* of whole
by the erecthm within than of
1 There is nothing revoiati t *n-j
!«? or in the lightest degrees
dangerous about this. It is not!
an experiment The common-1
sense of it has been thoroughly
3 proven. And the fate of towns'
which grew cp before the idea 1
iaf regulation was introduced is]
a3 the argument which a pru
tdent municipal government has :
to ask for.
j As the law stands now, a gav
jriine stataan could go up on the!
|A. H. Patterson corner next to j
|C. T. Woollen’s. *a meat market i
;next door to Isaac Pritchard’s, .
] 333 it* factory or a grocer/
or a garage next to C-de -Eu-1
. banks’ home on Cameron ave
inue. These particular project
I are of course highly hnorob
;abie, but they serve to illus
trate. These or even much le.-.
liaerious encroachments ought to
■ e mads impossible.
In New York City a few years
- *£o unrestricted building had
. wrought su*.h harm that the cify
government appointed a
iidghta-of - Buildings CommL
■ uon and shortly afterward a
’comroi ,-sion on Building Dis
tricts and Restrictions, The
• of the ia xn-s of these
uwo bodies was a-statute that
controlled construction through
out the whole of the metropolis. ’
Ai certain sectkms tiiere, were
permitted only hbmeo; in oth
ertf, “light manufacturing,”
■■i-cri as toe making of hats and
: jewelry and eldfeing, but rr/.
xueh industries as tanning and
glue-making and iron foundries.
<in outlying districts homes must
e set back fijom the street line
i«o many feet; in other aisiric.r,
[the crowded character of which
r had aiready been lued,- the., j
might be flash with the street '
sine, |
j An important print about this
reiornL was that it was support
ed not merely by reformers but
by the canniest, mo 't commen
jcj a J-minded men of the city.N
(They saw in it the salvation of,
jralner than danger to, real to- ;
tune owners. 'lhe courts, from
lowest to highest, upheld the
constitutionality of the law, and
now nobody who proposed that
New York should go back to the
old Unrestricted building policy |
would be listened to tor a mio-j
ute. The same sort of thing has]
happened since In other cities
and in small towns. Washing-]
ton, In fact, was .ahead of New .
York in making restrictions,
’though there they are not near
ly so elaborate.
Chapel Hill’s growth is just
beginning. Now is the time to]
aeL — It is a case of shutting the
stable door in time to keep the
horse in instead of after he U
gone. If we don’t get busy and
put into legal form some sensi
ble building restrictions we, are
going to regret it.
Meanwhile, It is la fine thing
that some of our eitizens, acting
in groups, are putting into ef*'
feet restrictions to protect their
home colonies from disfigure
ment.

*Random Shots I
BY HALIFAX JONES - j
I could name a score of rea
sons why I am glad I am nut
stOl in the Army, and then not
iiUlf exhaust the list* but none
is more potent than the one that
is broaghi to mind by the report
of President Coofidge’s recent
treview of the Marines. , Not all
the drudgery of drill and “polic
ing” is as detestable to the aol-
Idier or junior officer as reviews
'and parades. How we hated
«these shows put on to tickle the
’vanity of some military or civi
lian bigwig! Tire higher offi
=ers, from major up, iiked the
.performance well enough* I
; think—they could enjoy the
strutting without having any of
‘the disagreeable work. But if]
| the notables in the reviewing !
i -stand could have only heard
1 what the men of lower ranks
were saying under their breath
,ss the bands played and the
j platoons marched byi It would
‘have scorched their ears.
• • •'
This reminds me of the re
ma-k I heard.the wife of a re
jently commisspned officer make t
when her husband went down
,/rom New York to the-Mexican
x>rder at the time of the Villa
“fir de. He been a dandy
in civil life , and he carried over
into the Army fcis love of fine
clothes. The v/eek before his
departure he spent in obtaining
an outfit of splendid new' uni
forms. “Aren’t you afraid for
your husband?” a friend of the
v .£« a -ked her. The anewfer
was - ‘Tin not afraid of the
Mexicans, but lin mightily
afraid Jack will strut himself to
death.”

. Meetings! Meetings! Meek
ingil Was ever before such a
tiraa in the history of man ?
There is not afi afternoon or a
rught that one is not called upon
to attend something or other.
[Associations, dubs* leagues foi
this or that worthy reform,
chufeh node ter, civic bodies,
chambers of commerce and
■' oartis of t \ ztie, literary circles,
committees of infinite variety—
Av-y seem as numerous as the
xands of the sea, and always
they are holding meetings.
* * *
ri'ow, a splendid case can be,
jr.ade out for each one of these
gatherings. When yon listen to
a zealous secretary fted of the
; purposes of his or her particular
organization, you are mad* to
| fed that the of th*
country is at stake and that you
are a miseraoie wretch if you do 1
not lend the small encourage
ment of your presence. The
-next night there is another
\ meeting just as important, and
so on and on. Tke thing never
