watches for last year. Trade Commits
sioner H. Lawrence Grove. at Zurich
points out that more and more the ex-
ports of these articles to the United
States are being confined to finished
watch movements without the case The
value of finished movements, without
cases, and Of watches complete with
cases of gold, silver and non-pre cious
metals, including monographs and all

Steamships to Use Fuel Oil

One of the main reasons for the
numbering stations in Australia, sites
for which have been purchased at Mel

the principal steamship lines trading
with Australia have decide to use oil
instead Of coal fuel as soon as these
stations are completed. 1t is stated
there will be ample supplies of oil in
Australia, as it is expected that the

DR.. REYNOLDS RELIEVED
To Serve as Church Campaign Leader
For One Year-Reynolds Predicts
Growth. of Institution.

DR.. Charles Jerome Greene, dean
of Hendrix College, has been unani-
mously selected acting president of
the college by the executive commit
tee of the board of trustees, to fill
the vacancy caused by the temporary
leave of absence granted Dr. John H.
Reynolds, president. Dr. Reyonlds
was appointed director general of the
campaign for $25,000,00O to be rails
ed by the Southern Methodist church
for it's educational institutions. Ac-
ceptance of the appointment by DR..
Reynolds means he probably will make
Nashville, Tenn, his home during the
campaign.
DR.. Reynolds at the chapel hour this
morning made the announcement of
the selection by the committee. The
announcement was received enthusiast
tlcally by the entire student body and
faculty. DR.. Greene has been mem
Der of the faculty of Hendrix Col
lege for the past Is years, and is
one of the most popular professors
IN the institution. He is head of the
department of English and Bible.
DIR. Reynolds said this morning that
he had accepted the appointment of
director general of the campaign for
a period of one year. He accepted
the appointment upon the condition
that he be relieved July, 1921. AL
though he will be absent from the COL
lege during most of this time, he will
be working for the college, more than
ever, he said.
The allotment of the $25, 1000 900
to be raised during the campaign,
will be made to the educational in
stitutions of the south in charge of
the church. Hendrix College will re-
ceive 100000. There is great fu-
ture in the educational world" DR..
Reynolds said. 1T will be only
question of a very few years before
Hendrix College will be turning out
annually a graduating class as large
IN numbers as the present total en-
rollment of the college. There are
unusually bright prospects for next
year. Every room in the new dormi-
tory has already been reserved for
next year and indications are that
the college will have greater stud
ent body then ever before"

CARS MUST have
AUTOMOBILE TAGS

Local officers announced today that
on and after June l they would be-
gin a drive against all automobile
owners who are failing to comply
with the provisions of state laws gov
erning the operation of cars.
Especial attention will be given to
persons who are failing to display
at each end of their cars 1920 auto
mobile license tags, as required by
the law. 1t is just as much against
the law to fail to attach the tags
to the car after securing them as it
is to run a car without obtaining IL
cense. One frequent form of evas-
ion of the law, according to the Of
ficers, is for person owning two
cars to obtain one license and split"
the tags, using only one on each car
The law also lays down regula-
tons for the use of front and rear
lights.
All persons found to be violating
any of the provisions of the auto
mobile laws, local officers announced
today, will, after June l, be arrested
and brought into court for trial.
