Yesterday afternoon a meeting
Of the committees, who have 1r
charge the raising Of funds for
the employment Of an agricul.
tural agent and those soliciting
stock IN the Joint Stock Land
Bank, was held and reports on
progress made were received.
While only small number,
comparatively speaking, had
been called upon by the COM
mittees for pledges to support
the agricultural agent, yet it
indicated that this movement
would be successfully put
through when a final report is
made next Tuesday.
It was found that 1876 Of ths
$50 shares required to assure tn g
Unit Of the Joint Stock Land

individual subscribers limited to
70 shares. There were a number
who wanted to subscribe consid-
crably more than that amount,
but IL was felt that it would be
better to distribute the stock as
much as possible. However, in
order to assure the successful
completion Of this movement

CAROLINA GERMAN CLUB
PUTS BAN ON DRINKING

Chapel Hill, May 30.-It has
long been known here that the
for whatever
drinking there was at dances and
athletic events at the University
@ested mainly upon visitors. In
order to make this clear, the Un;
versity German Club yesterday
amended its constitution to re,
quire every student attending a
dance to sign a pledge that he
would not drink any intoxicant
either before or during the party.
A German Club committee will
see that no student enters unless
he has executed such a pledge.
The dance managers are pre-
pairing to see that offenders
other than students are properly
dealt with.
Although the Commencement
dances are not under the juris-
diction Of the German Club, the
pledge rule will be enforced at
them as at those given during
the session. After the Club had
taken It's action yesterday, Pres
ident Chase issued this statement
to the student Body:
| wish to congratulate, the
members Of the German, Club on
/ he adoption Of the pledge de
signed to eliminate drinking at
dances.
"Dances at commencement are
in every real respect, on precise
ly the same basis as dances dur
ing the college year, [ desire,
therefore, to say that the Univer-
sity, in order to lend it's full sup
port to the movement among the
students which prompted the ac-
ton, will expect that every stu
Gent shall pledge himself for the
commencement dances as for
any other series
1t is not only at dances that
there has been trouble here about
visitors who are not over-scrupu-
lous in maintaining their sobriety
The same thing occurs sometimes
at big baseball and football
games. At one game between
high schools last fall few en-
thusiasts from the contesting
towns made unfortunate displays
If themselves, and afterward the
students heard that they We're
being blamed for it. This made
them decidedly sore. It was
this feeling on their part that
led to the German Club s action

Tirana still burns oil for light.
She has no communication with

government buildings in the
fact that they have two stories.
al are old buildings adapted to
the use Of government by the
introduction Of a few chairs and
desks. Each building has no
more than six Or eight rooms.
The ministers enter their offices
with great solemnity and cere-
mony. Orderlies and ,usners
stand at attention while the
heads pass. Inside his office,
the minister calls his ushers by
an old-fashioned table bell, cleo
trio bells being wholly unknown
in this primitive land. With
stern severity. everyone address
the minister as "Your excel

Diplomats have only legal
residence in Tirana. Minister

POLAND IS ESTABLISHING
ARMY Of PERMANENT
BASIS

Warsaw, June 2.-The Polish
republic has begun the unifica-
tion Of it's armament which, it
has been found, will involve the
scrapping Of the bulk Of the ma
terial accumulated from various
sources during the past four
years.
The renewed equipment Will
be one more step in the trans
formation Of the Polish emer-
gency force to methodlcally
organized national body.
Purchases are being made
principally in France to replace
that part Of the old material that
cannot be used for the equipment
of the new army which, on a
reace basis, was fixed at 250,-
900 men in the last budget.
French officers are helping in
the reorganization Of the army
tut in much smaller numbers
than served during the campaign
against the Bolsheviki. There
were then 1886 French Officers
in the field; there are now 63
all told, attached to the army as
instructors in the Polish military
school.

BY International News servIue

Aided by a decrease OF 3S per cent
in the wholesale prices Of building
materials between the averages for
1920 and 1921. there was 80 per cent
more building done In thc United
States last year than in 1920, the
Bureau OF Labor Statistics of the
Department OF Labor announced to.
day. The figures are based on re-
ports received from 40 cities. While
materials decreased, there wa sn
Increase OF IN per cent in bulI.nE
trade wage rates per hour between
May, 1920. and May, 1921.
The permits Of 1921 provided Hcus
ing for 125 per cent more far lies
than those for 1920, or, in other
words, for two and one-fourth times
as many families, as indicated b. Te.
ports for 119 cities reporting for both
years. While 1921 shows a de. ied
gain over the previous year, II doeS
not indicate that home building has
caught up with home needs. The
bureaus survey says that during 0s
whole war period and since, tHers
has been a slackness in home b IL
ing that has produced an acute J. d
for homes. The population OF ne
11s cities reporting in 1920 was 2g-
667. 7.799. The number OF families pro.
vided for in these cities by the 1920
permits was 69.544, and in 1921 the
number was 1861. Assuming Iva
persons to a family, this means pro
viding housing for 347,720 persons in
1920 and 7S3.356 persons last year
The normal growth in population in
cities Of $4,000 and over in the
United States Is about 2.7 per cent
per year. which. applied to the popu
lation OF the 1l9 cities, means an in.
crease OF 63s.761 persons.
These figures seem to indicate
therefore" says the bureaus survey
that while the building OF dwellings
In 1920 did not keep up with the an
nual increase in population. the
building OF dwellings last year was
somewhat above the increased popu
lation demand, and made a little
start in reducing the homing short

NEW YORK, May S.-The new
week in the stock market opened
with a mild but concentrated at
tack upon a few of the prominent
speculative stocks, presumably for
the purpose of unsettling the whole
stock list. Mexican Petroleum was
offered down nearly two points to
128h, and u. 8. Steel below 9S,
while Baldwin and Studebaker were
nearly three points below Satur-
days high level. The selling move
ment was helped along by the real
fzing sales OF all those who had
taken the advice OF their brokers
to cash in" their profits on the
opening OF the market today. 1t iB
problematical how much the dis
turbing news from Genoa had to do
with the cultivation of bearish sen.
timent in the first hour, but doubt
less this factor entered into the
situation TO some extent. The only
effect of the bear raid was to tenn
porarily depress the stocks against
which II was directed, losses In
other issues being fractional.
After the irregularity Of the first
half hour, sentiment in the market
was completely reversed, and under
the leadership Of United States Steel
and the independent steel stocks, an
upward movement was inaugurated
which carried many of these issues
to new high levels for the year. The
steel stocks, in fact. dominated the
market. and heavy transactions were
racorded In Crucihle which sold at a
new high above 6S, Vanadium at a
new high level at 4S%. Republic at
67A. Midvale at SIN, Replogle al
san, Lackawanna at 81, and Gulf
States at So. United States Steel
gained more than a point from Its
low point OF the first hour.
Trading in the general list was In
comparatively smaller volume, but
several OF the specialties displayed
unusual strength and activity. Col
orado Fuel and Iron duplicated Its
v~7~'~ high at 34%. General Ameri-
can Tank Car forged ahead to n new
