William Finch last year at Chapel
Hill, will represent the "Old School,

Sharp yesterday in a. final try out
match 81; 6-3, which gives him the

will go to the High School tourna-
ment about the middle of the month
to play for Wilson in tennis.
e. The Old School had quite a num-
ber of tennis aspirants this Spring,
and Mr.. ]. Shepard Bryan staged a
"Jim, dandy elimination tourna-
ment. Woodard, Bullock, and Joe
Davis showed up well in their
matches, but none could keep up with
the pace Ross and Sharp set. And
now, its up to the Ross-Sharp pair to
bring home the old tennis title.

SPORTS

With a bang the show opened at
8 o'clock; the Riddles all full OF
pep, ginger and go-fast, went after
| the games with a rush, and they
sang, played, and raised a racket to
their hearts content. Miss Williams
and Miss Wells youngsters made quite
hit with their singing games, as
also did the second grade children
under the direction of Mrs. Cox and
Miss Lovelace. These grades gave an
excellent exhibition of child play
and recreation.
The fourth grade girls and boys
played volleyball and indoor baseball
for fifteen minutes, and made the
play. Both the boys and the girls un-
der the leadership of Miss Mary Key
serling played a classy article of
ball. Miss Jones and Miss Brit led
the third grade kiddies in a num-
Der of very interesting relay races
and group games which took the
house by storm. Captain ball the
most modern Of the girls games was
played by Miss Stanbery's sixth grade
girls, who staged well played, and

Miss Townsend's fifth grade girls
put up very good exhibition Of New

in
uproar with their antics. The bas-
ketbaH games were interesting and
full of good plays; both the girls
team and the boys quintet showed
that they had been well trained and
coached by Misses Ruth and Mamie
Carwile. The boys under the lead
ership of Miss Stanberry staged a
star game of hand polo which is the
newest of the boys games, and the
fifth grade boys out did all others in
an old fashion game of scrimmage
ball.
The show was we'll attended and
every one seemed to be in a good

EXPECT BIG TRACK
AFFAIR IN NAV
(By A. Scrub .

(By "A. ScruO).
Extensive and elaborate plans are
under way for the County School
track meet which will be staged at
the Fair Grounds May 10. The fol-
lowing schools have made known
tn, 'r intentions of entering ten men:
Lucama, Stantonsburg, Wilson, Rock
Ridge, Black Creek, Winstead Ele-
mentary, Elm City, and Gardner's.
The county and City department of
physical education are bending every
effort to make the meet the biggest
and best ever held in Eastern Caro-
lima; and will spare no amount of la
Dor to put the first affair cross. There
is no doubt that the young athletes
will be in tip-top condition for the
events, and that several very inter
esting races VIII. be pulled off.
While the officials have not been
decided upon, it is practically assur-
ed that the committee in charge plans
to secure the best available in the
matter of competent judges. They
state that the following program will
be run: l mile relay, 1 mile run, 1-2
mile run; IA mile dash, 22O yard
dash, 100 yard dash, SO yard dash;

expected to have it's effect since he is
considered close to the executive.
At the present the work is being
done by Mrs. Clarence Johnson OF
Raleigh. Mr.. Beasley's resignation
was placed in the hands of the board
several weeks ago.
Governor Morrison has announced
the appointment of James F. Barrett
of Asheville and DR.. Jenniss Morrill,
as members of the board of directors
of the State School for the Deaf at
Morganton. Mr.. Barrett succeeds
Archibald Johnson of Thomasville
and DR.. Morrill,, Rev. J. o. Atkinson

Dr xyho ic
gives the East recognition on the
board which the governor thought it
should have.

are as follows: w. w. Neal, Marion;

In the appointment of a successor
to Archibald Johnson, who could
have been reappointed with ease,
there is seen reason to believe that
the governor minds to offer the sec
retaryship of the North Carolina

that the offer will not be accepted
but it is safe prediction that Gov

friend of Mr.. Johnson, will tender
the appointment some time in April

Oncile those who have questioned or

this gown, Of American manufacture,

Deceney and Bedtime.

"All decent people should be in bed

eminent uplifter. 1t is calculated to
startle even a world familiar with the
intellectual divagations Of uplifters.
The quality Of decency has often
been debated. 1t does not appear that
q universal satisfactory definition has
vet been reached. But a time limit
on cscency is something new.
Dy what magic has one O'clock in
the morning become the yitching hour
that divides the sheep from the goats?
Many respectable citizens are not abed
at that hour. Is their responsibility
but a cloak for !ndecency?
It is hard to believe that a virtue
can be 50 accidental. None will deny
that one o'clock is a very good hour to
be abed.

five narrow French folds forming a
band about IT. The lace OverSkirt Is
higher at the back than at the front,
where there is no definition Of the
waist line, and girdle Of wooden

the dress. A very simple and mod
ern rosette Of satin ribbon is posed
at the right side. One can imagine
the elegance Of this model in black
lace and white silk, or in dyed lace
over harmonizing colors. 1t is an ideal
dinner gown, adapted to all sorts OF
evening wear. Its lines are fatterhg
to all figures.

the realms of fashion are signed
to these three wraps for summer wear.
It Is easy to see at a glance that each
of them Is made to be a practical pro-

they embody styles that are not too

NO REASON FOR CONFUSION
Christian Chronology Really Quite
Simple Matter, Though It Requires
a Little Explanation.

Using the birth Of Our Lord as 4
starting point for counting time did
not become general until the Chris.
tan religion had made considerable
progress. Some confusion arises from
overlooking the fact that the ancient
nations had their own systems ana
their own starting points. For in
stance, the Romans counted from the
founding of their city, Rome, ana
when Our Lord was born it was the
year 1853 according to Roman chr0nol-
ogy. Having taken the year in which
Our Lord was born as the starting
point of the new or Christian chronol-
ogy, the years preceding that starting
point could only be counted as years
before Christ and the farther you 90
back into the past the greater their
number, just as the greater the num-
Der the farther you come down from
the starting point towards the pres
ent. There is nothing confusing IN
this, and the same principle Is ap-
piled on any through railway time
table. A transcontnental timetable
counts distances from terminal
both ways, one way east and the
other way west. In our chronology
the year of the birth Of Our Lord Is
the starting point, and the years are
counted both ways-those that had
passed before that event and those
that have passed since that event.
This system is, of course, In use only
in Christian countries. The Jews De-
gin to count from the creation, and
there Is no counting backwards DE-
cause it is impossible to go back Of
that event.
