Parking in Dvrtun In every city parking has come to be a troublesome problem, bat in no other that we know about has it canned more vexa tion to municipal authorities, residents, and visitors than it has in Durham. The character of the street layout, which tends to the concentration rather than the diffusion of traffic, and the narrowness of the streets in the business section, make the find ing of a place to leave your car exceptionally difficult and irri tating. One day this week Mrs. R. R. Lawson and her daughter, Mrs. Rage, parked their car on a side street, and when they returned to it in a little more than an hour, they foustd a ticket say ing that they had overstayed the time limit. Mrs. Lawson had thought that a two-hour stop was permitted, but a nearby policeman, whom she questioned, said that the newest regulations placed the limit at one hour. Mrs. Lawson happens to be well acquainted with Mayor Wil liam F. Carr, who was a base ball buddy of her husband’s here around forty years ago, and when she got back home she called him on the telephone and told him what had happened. And she intimated that if peo ple from Chapel Hill were to lie treated in this fashion in Dur ham they would be disposed to pass right on through and trans a<:t their fousjpe-.'i ir Raleigh. Now, the laxt thing in the world the merchants of Durham want is for their city to become hateful to visitors, and Mr. Carr. a> mayor and a.- lifelong devoted Durham ite, is ever watchful to promote "the pros perity of the city and preserve its reputation for hospitality. ‘The Friendly City" is Dur ham’s mottos and Mayor Carr wants it to remain a truthful one. So, he replied to Mrs. Law son : "You just send me that ticket and forget alxjut it." Hut Mrs. Lawson was speak ing not for herself alone hut for all Chapel yillians going to Dur ham. She might avoid a penalty through being a friend* of the mayor’s, but what about people who did not enjoy this relation ship? She did not fail to make this point clear, whereupon Mr. Carr said: "The same thing goes for all the people who come over here from Chapel Hill. If anybody gets a ticket, you tell ’em to send it to me." Mrs. Lawson's protest to the mayor is salutary. Its chief value, however, is not the aid and comfort it gives to a limited number of people from this vil lage but the effect it may have in moving the Durham com munity, both governing officials and business men, to work out a better solution of the parking problem. We do not mean to suggest that they have been indifferent to it. Like the people of other cities, and even of villages such as Chapel Hill, they have been in a fuss and a stew about park ing for years, but it will do them no harm to be jogged by the re minder that a person driving an automobile finds a visit to Dur ham an arduous enterprise. We recall that some time ago a move was made in Durham to persuade merchants, salesmen, clerks, and other members of the business community, to leave theia cars at home when they went to work in the morning, so that there would foe more parking space for visitors (Le., potential buyers). A tike move was made in Chapd Hill. Here there was a great improvement for a while: then the workers along the main business block began to park their cars there again, crowding out marketers and shoppers. We wonder if per haps the same tort of backslid ing hasn't happened in Durham. If bv compulsion or persua sion the men and women who work in the crowded part of town -in Durham, in Chapel HM, or anywhere—can be made to leave their cars at home, or a few blocks away, there wiii.be a lot more space for the cars of people who want to come, attend to their errands in an hour or two, and then depart. Husbands (Francis Beirne in The Balti more Evening Sun) A husband, in the eyes of his wife, is a man who, if she is not careful, will be stolen from her by one of any number of design ing females just waiting for the chance. He'would not be bald if he had only followed her advice and used hair tonic regularly. He hasn’t the faintest idea how to take care of himself and would be absolutely helpless if she were not there to remind him of things. In his wife’s eyes, a husband has a brilliant mind and would go much farther if he would only assert himself and was not sur rounded by a group of jealous fellow-workers determined to deny him his just deserts. As it is, he is much too good-natured and allows himself to be impos ed upon in such matters as tak ing days off, choosing vacation i periods and doing the work of i others. | In matters of dress a husband, as his wife sees him, has no sense of combinations of colors, ■or of patterns and quality of icloth, and buys the first thing j that -is jeut before him. His coat never fits snugly around the coi ! lar as other men’s do, and it will never look right so long as he j insists on stuffing things into i his pockets. 1 A husband; a wife is convinc ! ed, is a man who remembers i every detail of his life before he i was married but can never re j member anything that hasjhap | pened since he was married. jAnd, if she is not listening, he will be certain to tell things that he should be keeping to himself. And he has away of continual ly saying things that are the di rect opposite of what he said be fore, and then denying that he. ever said the other things. A husband, in the opinion of a wife, is much more sensitive than other men and, in consequ ence, does not like tb be told that he has a smudve on his face or that he needs a shave, or cor rected when lie makes false and absurd statements! In fact, on the slightest excuse, he is likely to fly off the hammer. On the whole, as a wife sew him, a husband, in spite of the qualities he possesses which are not fully appreciated by others, is a difficult proposition with many pronounced peculiarities and eccentricities. And, there fore, it seems the most astonish ing good fortune and good luck that he has found the one wo man in tiie whole world who would put up with him and knows how to handle him.

THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY, CHAPEL HELL, N. C. Fox Is Fooled by Artificial Turkey Call; Comes for Prey; Is Killed by Moody Durham Foxes are famous for their craftiness, but this one was bad ly footed by an artificial turkey call, and in consequence its sleek brown fur now adorns the home of Moody Durham. With six companions—Dr. B. B. Lloyd, Jo Sparrow, R. P. Me- Clamroch. B. S. Thompson, W. S. Hogan, and Dr. R. R. Clark— Mr. Durham went last Friday to the preserve of the Haw River Hunting Club in Chatham Coun ty. At about 11 o’clock Satur day morning he stationed him self in a clump of woods about tpo hundred yards from the river and began to operate his turkey call. * After a few minutes he was amazed to see a full-grown fox come out from behind a tuft of Trading of Pass-Books Holders of Non-Tr a referable Ticket* Halted at Gates -rs Stadias* ■ —■ Forty-six University student athletic pass-books, presented for admission to the Carolina student section at the Carolina- Duke game by persons other than their rightful owners, were confiscated at the stadium gate by University athletic officials. Those presenting the books were not permitted to enter the sta dium unless they bought tickets, and the books were not returned to their owners. Thereihas recently been Among the students considerable discus sion of this procedure. * When a person registers in the University one of his quar-j terly fees is $3.33, in return so/ which he receives a pass-book admitting him to all athletic events here during the quarter, j The presentation ,of the book.! along with 50 cents, is also good for admission to games played 1 by the University football team at Duke! State College, Wake Forest, and Davidson. Since the regular price of ad mission ranges from $1.25 to! ; $2.50, and since some football j enthusiasts will sometimes pay, as much as $5 for a ticket to the student sectioh (always at the middle of the field) a neat profit may be made by a student will ing to.sell or rent his pass-book. The cover of every pass-book bears the stipulation that the book may be used only by the person to whom it was issued and that if presented for admis sion by anyone else it will be its owner called upon for-an explanation. Despite this warning, it has become a common practice for many students to lend, sell, or rent their pass-books. To pre vent this, men are stationed at the student entrance to identify every book’s signature and hold er. These inspectors are stu dents who have a wide acquain tance among the student body and are therefore apt to be able to tell when a holder is not an owner. Among those halted at the Duke game were several stu dents escorting girls. Using their own pass-books for them selves, they were attempting to get their dates in on bought or borrowed books and were of course painfully embarrassed at the predicament in which.they found themselves. One view on the campus is that such embarrassment is well deserved and that a student who allows his pass-book to be used by others should, like one caught stealing or cheating, be tried and punished by the Student Coun cil. Heretofore there has been no penalty other than the con ftscation of the book and a rep rimand. Another view is that since the student has to buy a pass-book whether dr not he expects to attend afty games, he should j be allowed to do with it as bel pleases. : • high grass and come stalking toward him. Then the fox saw’ the man, and suddenly whirled about and made a great leap in to the air. j It was fast work, but not fast enough. . Mr. Durham had seized his gun and taken aim. lie fired, and the fox dropped to the ground, mortally wounded. “There’s no doubt about it—- the fox thought he heard a real turkey and was coming for a big dinner,” said Dr. Lloyd to a circle of citizens in Eubanks drugstore when the huntsmen re turned to the village. “We were a. surprised crowd when Moody turned up at the cabin with a fox. None of us had ever heard of a man's drawing a fox. with a turkey call.” * * Garden Club to Meet * At Gathering on Monday Mr. Borlngc Will Speak on Terracing The November meeting of the Garden Club wili be held at 3:30 Monday afternoon in the Sunday school room of the Presbyterian church. H, M. Burlage will speak on ‘Terracing the Hillside Slope.” His talk will cover huch topics as designing the terrace, width and depth of fills, drainage, mak ing a terrace garden, steps, and paths. There will be a display of ter rariums made by the members of the Garden Club under the direction of Mrs. P. H. Quinlan and Mrs. George Logan. Anyone who has a terrarium is invited to bring it for exhibit. Scouts and Kiwanians Meet The Kiwanis Club and the Boy Scout Troop which it sponsors had a joint meeting, a wienie roast, Tuesday evening at tin Scout Hut beside the Pittsboro highway.

Madry, director of the Univer sity News Bureau, were married last evening in the Baptist church here. Rev. O. T. Binkley performed the ceremony.
