CAPT. R, {. TURLEY
SPEAKS AT NORMAL

The faculty and students of
Eastern enjoyed d rare treat at
chapel Thursday morning when
Capt. r. Z. Turley, Jr,, of the I.
S. A., who is visiting his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. R. Z. Turley, gave
an interesting and mighty instruc-
tive talk at the chapel exercises.
He reviewed in an interesting
way some of his experiences
when he was student in the
school. His talk consisted chief
ly in description of conditions and
affairs in the Panama Canal Zone
where he has been stationed for a
number of years. He spoke of
the wonderful achievement Uncle
Sam has accomplished in that re-
gion. He affirmed with great
emphasis that it is now one of the
cleanest and most healthful spots
on the face of the globe, whereas
only few years ago it was a
pest hole and a breeding place for
all kinds of germs and Infections.
He said that flies and moSqui-
toes are SO scarce that when one
is discovered, the police alarm /
sounded and the population turns
out to see the SHOW
Capt. Turley said that while he
saw facing him 700 or 800 stu-
dents, yet he realized how few
short years had changed the per-
sonnel of the institution, for out
of the great crowd who sat be-
fore him he saw only two familiar
faces who were here when he was
a student-Dr. Grinstead and
Prof. Boothe.

Norwich Goes In Derby

New York, April 8-All doubt
as to whether the sensational
Norwich would start in the Ken
tucky Derby or the Preaknesf
was settled last night when Benz.
Block, owner of the undefeated
three-year-old colt, in a signed
statement said: 81 have often said
that | regard Norwich as the pro-
perty of the public and recognize
the right of the public to be kept
fully and reliably informed con-
corning him. Ever since it ap-
peared that the Kentucky Derby
and the Preakness ar eto be run
on the same day | have been fair
ly deluged with the inquiry, will
Norwich start in the Derby or the
Preakness?'
Il have all along had my heart
set on winning the Derby with
Norwich. My trainer Mr.. Bur
lew, is of the opinion, based on
Morvich's work up to this time,
that he can be fitted for that race.
He is being pointed for the Derby
and only something unforeseen
will keep him away from the bar
rier at Churchill Downs on Derby
Day"
