WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from pas. ~


Shoals project holding up Senate
schedules.
Both houses have approx
mately eight weeks of legislative
days as distinguished from calen-
dar days, in which to dispose of
nine appropriation bills. The
House has already passed three
appropriation bills and has made
excellent progress on the others.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee is ready to report the fis-
cal measures for the Interior and
Agricultural Departments but
cannot find a place on the Senate
calendar.
The legislative situation is fur
Their complicated by the postal
salary proposals. Under an
agreement the Senate will vote
on the so-called Edge bill, which
President Coolidge vetoed last
summer. At the same time an
other measure, known as the
Sterling bill, has been submitted
with practically the same provi-
sions for postal salaries, and car
rying in addition a revenue
measure.
Special subcommittee of the
Senate and House held hearings
during the Christmas recess
when representative mail users
protested against the enormous
increase in their rates. 1t is said
that the Sterling bill was
brought to the Senate in an eff
fort to bring about parliamentary
complications so that no postal
measure would be enacted at this
session. Several days must
elapse before the postal pay and
postal salary propositions are dis
posed of.
1t is believed that several le-
gislative measures will be intro
duced at this session dealing with
retail prices. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
has called a conference here
early in January in order to help
the buying public and merchant.
The national Chamber is convinc-
ed that the public does not I'M
derstand the retailer and his i'm
mediate problems. For this rea-
son it is believed that great bene-
fits will follow a discussion of the
problems of distribution from
the standpoint of the merchant,
the manufacturer and the con-
sumner.
While it is not the intention
of the promoters of this confer
ence to bring about legislative
cure-alls, no doubt many legisla-
tors will sieze this opportunity
to introduce free economic meas
ures. The small town merchants
and publishers, as well as the
citizens. who purchase, have a d.
rect interest in these meetings.
The statement has been made
that material savings may be ac-
complished by reducing the
amount and number of failures;
by reducing the cost of doing
business and the ultimate price
to the consumer; and by placing
the distributor in a better rela-
ton to his customer.
There are similar movements
under way for agriculture to
solve problems by mutual agree
ment rather than congressional
action. The sentiment is grow
ing that Congress should stick to
its own knitting and leave econ
omic problems to those directly
concerned.

The Plant Exchange
You Who Have Shrubs and Flowers
to Spare, Tell Mrs. Toy

With the coming of spring
and people are about convinced
now that spring is indeed near
at hand-the plant exchange is
ready for operation.
All who have more plants
than they need-plants and
shrubs-are asked to let Mrs
w. d. Toy know just what they
are willing to part with. And
Mrs. Toy will bring them into
communication with people who
are starting homes and need
plants.
The plant exchange is a prof.
ect that was launched by the
Community Club several years
ago, and every spring it has
been of great benefit to house
holders who are seeking to
beautify their grounds.

$4,000 for Theatre
Seats and Other Equipment Given by
an Anonymous Friend

A gift of $4,000 has been re-
ceived for fitting out the Play
maker Theatre with chairs and
stage equipment. The giver
will not let his name. be made
public.
The chairs have already been
ordered. They will be like
those in the Reynolds Memorial
Theatre in Winston-Salem
leathered-upholstered and OF
the finest quality.
The rest of the money goes
for a curtain, lighting fixtures,
carpets, and other stage equip
ment, including furniture for
the dressing rooms downstairs
under the stage.
Director Koch cannot be GER
tain when the theatre will be
complete. Possibly, he says, in
time for a production before
commencement.

Mr.. Noble 20 March Is
Dean of School of Education Has a
Birthday next Sunday

M. c. S. Noble, dean of the
school of education in the Uni
versity, will be 70 years old
next Sunday, March Is. He
was born in Selma, N. c., just
1910 years, to the day, after
Julius Caesar was struck down
in the Roman Forum.
Beware the Ides of March,"
the warning which the sooth-
sayers gave to the great Roman
in the winter of 56-55 B. c.,
might have been said with equal
prescience to the monster Illit-
eracy that was stalking back
and forth through North Car
olina in the last century; for
ever since he learned the alpha
bet, or almost ever since, Mr..
Noble has been engaged in
teaching readin', 'ritin' and 'rith-
metic, and other more advanced
subjects, to the youth of the
State.
Maybe the circumstance that
he was born on the anniversary
of one Of the most famous e.
vents in Roman history had an
influence upon the bent of his
mind, for he was a Latin fan
from infancy. Before he was
out of the First Reader, cat and
dog became, to him, felix and
CAMS; and the chances are that
today when he crosses a bridge
between here and Durham he
thinks of Horatio before he
thinks of Frank Page and the
tax on gasoline. When he grad
uated from the University As
years ago he wrote his thesis
in Latin. But this document
has been lost.
He was commander of cadets
at the Bingham School from
1879 to 1882, and from 1882 to
1898 was superintendent of
schools in Wilmington. He
came to the University faculty
in 1898. He has two children,
Miss Alice Noble, who lives
with him in Chapel Hill, and
M. C. S., Jr., who is now travel
ing abroad. Mark, by the way,
was bound for Rome when he
last wrote and perhaps will be
prowling about the Forum on
his fathers 10th birthday.

J. C. Taylor Dies
Old-Time Chapel lillian Meets End
in Shanghai, China

James Cole Taylor, for many
years a resident of Chapel Hill,
and, for the last six years he
lived here, cashier of the Bank
of Chapel Hill, died Monday of
pneumonia in a hospital in
Shanghai, China. News of his
death reached here in the form
of a telegram from the Secre-
tary of State in Washington to
M. E. Hogan.
Mr.. Taylor sailed from New
York January 20 on a cruise of
the Clark Tours. A day or two
before sailing he was in Chap
ell Hill. Seated beside his desk
in the bank just as he was about
to depart, he said:
Hogan, you never can tell
what will happen, and if I die
while on this trip / want you
to make sure that my body is
brought back to New Bern for
burial. I'm leaving funds with
you to cover the cost"
"I'll do.it if it has to be done, "
replied Mr.. Hogan, "but we ex-
pect to see you back in Chapel
Hill well and happy a few
months from now"
"Well, l expect to be here,
too," said Mr.. Taylor, "but
you never can tell"
A telegram from Clark's
Tours in New York came about
the same time as the Secretary
of States. Mr.. Hogan wired
to both the Secretary and the
tour headquarters asking that
the body be sent back to North
Carolina.
Mr.. Taylor, native of New
Bern, was SO years old last Oc-
tober. He graduated from the
University in 1877, and in turn
was a surveyor, a chemist, a
metallurgist, and a railway Of
ficial. This last occupation he
followed in Ohio. He came
back to Chapel Hin about 25
years ago. In. 1915 he moved
to Morganton to live with his
aunt, Miss Hattie Cole.

r. u. Johnson Here
Celebrated Literary Man Makes ,
Tour of the Campus

Robert Underwood johnson,
author, poet, patron of the arts,
and former editor of the Gen.
tury Magazine, was in Chapel
Hill Sunday afternoon. He
came over from Raleigh with
Mr.. and Mrs. R. L. Macmillan,
and went about the campus un-
der the guidance of Gerald w.
johnson.
The visitor, who celebrated
his 72nd birthday a few weeks
ago, expressed surprise at the
extent of the institution, say
ing he had thought to- find a
much smaller place. He ad-
mired the simplicity and digni-
ty of the older buildings, and
was particularly enthusiastic
over the capitals of the columns
at the east end of the Playma-
ker Theatre (once the law
building and before that the Ii
brary.( Two other structures
which pleased him were the Car
olina Inn and the Well. When
he left he made Gerald John
son promise to send him a pic
ture Of the Well.
Since he retired from the ed
itorship Of the Century Mr..
Johnson has devoted much of
his time to the encouragement
of art and architecture in A
merica, and his trip to Raleigh
was in response to an invita-
tion from a group of citizens
who wanted his counsel in con-
nection with a plan to establish
an art museum there. One of
his most famous poems is an
ode to the sculptor, st. Gaudens.
