Washington, March 18.-An ex-

lock was arrested. He was dangling
the revolver from finger, as he
walked down a hall at his fathers
home to surrender to an officer. He
told Police Chief Hamilton he got
the weapon from a house in South
Kinston. Jones was ayisitor at the
police station half an haur before the

NEEDLESS ALARM
OVER sOMNOLENCE


Richmond, Va.-Health authori-
ties are agreed that epidemic SOM
nolence," or .encephalitis lethargica,
which appeared recently at several
points in Virginia, is not generally
a fatal malady. There is no need
for any alarm over the situation,
according to the State Board OF
Health. In connection with the out
break, the following statement was
issued:
Observation-Disclosures that cases
occurred in Germany in the 18th
and 18th centuries, and Italy and
Hungary in 1890. In nearly all
countries of Europe and the Unit
ed States the disease appeared in
1895; it was found in Austria in
1916 and 1917, and England last
year. The cases were few and scat
tered, and no large outbreaks oc-
Cured.
''Cause- meteorological investi-
cations have been negative. 1t is
probably due to a specific virus that
enters and leaves the body through
the mouth and nose.
Preventive measures.-the same
as those of other disease carried by
the secretions of the mouth and
nose; that it, avoidance of the COM
mon drinking cup. putting into the
mouth anything that may be infect
ed by the secretions from the
mouths of others, such as pencils,
fingers. etc. Everyone should COW
er the nose and mouth when cough
ing and sAeezing.
Symptoms onset may be
gradual or sudden The most char
acteristic symptoms are conjunctiv-
tits, tonsilitis, vertigo, headache,
blurred vision and other symptoms
related to disturb the nerve con-
trolling the eye. In severe cases
there is partial paralysis of certain
cranial nerves. The patient lies in
a stupor and can usually be aroused
sufficiently to take nourishment,
and lapses into sleep. The duration
of the stupor is variable, and may
last from a few days to five weeks
Conyalescense is slow, extending
over several months before norma
mental and physical condition is
reached. Cases are not often fatal
The disease is often confounded
with tuberculous meningitis and the
, cerebral form of inftantile paraly'

Chapel Hill, March 1S-The
fifth annual high school basketball
contest, which came to a close here
Thursday night when Winston-Sa-
lem defeated Wilmington for State
championship honors, has been the
most successful yet held, according
to Secretary E. r. Rankin, who has
been in charge OF the events since
they were inaugurated five years
ago. Unusual interest in the out
come was manifested throughout
the series and each game was hotly
contested.
Wilmington, Rocky Mount, Sci
ma. Red Oak, Raleigh, Durham,
Wilson, and Stem were the entrants
for the Eastern series. while Win
ston-Sa1em, Leaksville, Liberty,
WalkeItown; Belmont, Lexington,
| Asheville, and Charlotte fought for
the Western honors.
OF much interest to the alumni
and friends of the two institutions
Throughout the state is the an
nouncement that the state Universi-
| ty ana A.&E. College viii resume
athletic relations, the first evidence
| of which was the basketball game
staged in Raleigh Saturday night
| between quints representing the
two colleges to decide State cham
pionship honors. The two institu-
I tions have not engaged in athletic
\
in charge of athletics at both col
leges, after lengthy consideration,
feel that the two student bodies
should be able to engage in athletic
sports in the spirit of friendly rival
ry.
Henceforth it will be the purpose
I of the two institutions to pull to-
gether and cooperate to the fullest
extent with view of improving the
quality of athletic sports and rails
ing their standard. In short, they
propose to make North Carolina
athletics better both from the stand
point of winning teams produced
and the calibre of players partici-
pating in the contests.
A football game between the two
colleges has already been scheduled
for October %, during fair week.
Introducing novel features in
playmaking and presenting a dra-
matte performance far above. the
amateurish, supported by a cast Of
unusual excellency, "The North
Carolina Playmakers," an or
ganization the prime purpose OF
which will be the producing of orig
inal folk plays dealing with North
Carolina life and people, and the

North Carolina, scored high sue
cess in their initial appearance here
Friday and Saturday nights. Both
: performances we're greeted by large
crowde of students and townspeo-
pie, the production being under the
direction of DR.. Frederick II. Koch,
professor of dramatic literature.
The performance of this week
was strictly homemade affair, the
plays being written by students and
the adjustable stage, the scenery,
the lightning, the setting, asd cos
tunes being designed and executed

SECOND CHANCE
FOR DEL|NQUENTS
Those Who Give Reasonable
Excuse for Not Filing
Saturday May Have
EXTENSION OF PAYMENTS

Washington, March 18.-Persons
who neglected to pay the first in
stallment of income taxes last Sat-
vilege and must now pay their en-
tire tax upon demand of a revenue
collector
To avoid the penalty of 25 per
cent in addition to the regular tax,
persons who failed to file returns
Saturday may now submit belated
returns with sworn statement of
the reasons for delinquency. With
out this the penalty will be impos-
ed.
These policies, announced yester-
day by Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper, are intended to grant
a degree of Ieniency to those who
for some legitimate reason failed to
file their returns when they were
due. By law, however, the install
ment payment privilege is removed
from all failing to make payments
on time and the internal revenue
bureau has no authority to change
this provision
Z revenue bureau statement in
explanation follows:
Revenue collectors will accept
all delinquent returns presented af-
ter March 15 and deposit any pay
melt mad2 Herewith Under law
failure to MAKE first payment by
March IL automatically makes the
| whole tax payable Immediately.
''Tax payets filing income returns
subsequent t. March Is therefore
| must pay in full but i he viii be
notified OF the balance Que later il
the regular procedu e OF listing ard
sending notices. In reference to the
penalty Of 25 per cens aa3itional
tax for all delinquents the policy
VIII be to proceed sympathetically
in accordance with the regulation
permitting the tax payer, if he de
sires, to file an affidavit within ten
days explaining the cause of delin-
quency."
| Inc Stdl6ul6uI WdS tdh6n 70 III
dicate persons who paid their taxes
later than Saturday may have as
much as so days in which to pay
| the remaining threequartess.
| Revenue collectors have been in
structed to use their own discretion
in determining what constitutes {
| reasonable cause for failure to make
returns or payments on time.
In some cities, according to re
ports reaching Commissioner Rope
yesterday, collectors offices were
unable to accommodate the las
hour rush of applicants and thes'
returned yesterday to file returns
in person and make payments. II
some of these cases it is possible
that requirements that they pay al
installments on demand may not b.
enforced.
Reports yesterday showed run
dreds of thousands of small tax pay
ers paid their entire taxes Saturda.
and failed to take advantage of tn
instal1ment- privilege.
