Wilson in Middle West
Examining Library Schools There for
the A. l.. A.

l.. r. Wilson, the University
librarian, has left Chapel Hill for
a months tour through the Mid
die West.
For this period he is in the
service of the board of education
for Guardianship, a branch of
the American Library Associa-
tion. The activities of this
board, at present, have to do
mostly with the accrediting Of
library schools throughout the
country.
Mr.. Wilson is one of the five
library experts who compose the
board. Not long ago he was
called to Chicago to confer with
his four associates and with 9TH
er leading members of the A.
L. A., and his present assign
ment is part of the plan that
was worked out at that meeting.

HEARING ON TOWNS BUDGET
TO BE HELD AT s THIS EVENING
Progress on the South
Restoration Of Old Building Goes on
Apace; Ready by Fall

With it's roof on, the restored
South building-the next oldest
structure on the University
campuS-begins to take shape.
1t will be ready for occupancy
in the fall. The President, the
registrar, the business manager,
and the extension director will
then move in, leaving their of
fees in the Alumni building for
conversion into classroom space.
A year or so ago, because of
the dilapidated condition of the
South, somebody proposed that
it be demolished and supplanted
by an entirely new structure.
But the old building was held in
too deep affection, by thousands
of the alumni, for this sugges-
tion to be seriously entertained.
So. on the outside, viewed from
the old campus it will be about
the same as ever.
Inside, however, it is COM
pletely made over. Old floors
and partitions have been torn
away, and there is a new layout
of rooms and corridors.
There is one important change
in the exterior. This is a por-
tico on the south side-what has
always been considered the rear
of the building. With the ex-
pansion of the University
southwark, the South building
will have no rear, but instead,
two fronts.

COLONEL TELLS
OF EXPLOITS IN
AFRICAN JUJNGLES
Harry n. Eustace, Famous Hun
ter, Illustrates Talk with
Motion Pictures
STORY THRILLS AUDIENCE

Colone] Harry X. Eustace,
the British wild-game hunter,
came to Memorial Hall Wednes-
day evening and showed his
moving pictures of life in the
African Jungle. Despite the
<downoo1r of rain he was greeted
10y large crowd.
The Colonel entertained the
audience by a narrative of his
adventures with the wild ami
mails displayed on the screen
lions, elephants, rhinoceroses,
hipp0potamuses, wart hogs, py=
thons, cneetahs, tick birds,
Rhodesjan honey-bees, and 9TH
,er tropical fauna.
1t was thrilling tale, and
now and then, when the hunter
was seen in the very jaws of
death, cries of alarm were heard
from some of the more emo
tional onlookers. Only the pres
-ence Of Colonel Eustace in the
flesh, right there in Memorial
Hall, could convince them that
he had got away with his life.
One Il the pictures showed
him bumped by a hippopotamus
in a lake. Another told the
story Of a scandal in the jungle
"a bachelor rhinOceros at
tempting to break up the happy
home Of married friend of the
same species. The two males
had it oQt in the presence of
Mrs. Rhjno, who viewed the fray
with interest but did not offer
to interfere. At length the
would-be home-wrecker was
driven off, mortally wounded.
Colonel Eustace tracked the
great beast to the swamp where
it finally collapsed.

One Hour to Raleigh
Hill and Brown Go by Short Route
Twice Every Day

G. NJ. Hill and Roy Brown,
both sons-in-laws of S. w. An
drews, have been making daily
round trip to Raleigh, by the
new short route, for the last
three or four weeks, and they
have made the distance each way
in the average time of one
hour.
eve travel in a Nash light
SIX" Mr.: Hill said yesterday,
"and we find the thirty miles can
be easily covered in an hour.
For the II miles between Ra-
leigh and Nelson we are on the
pavement; and from Nelson
here, across the south end of
Durham county, there is a good
dirt road. AS compared with the
route through Durham the saw
ing is 8 miles, and we avoid the
2 or 3 miles of crowded traffic
in and near the city"
The road followed by Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Brown leaves Chapel
Hill by the cemetery, turns left
about two miles from the viii
lage and, at Evergreen Farm,
turns right and passes through
loves Grove to Nelson. Mel
son, on the paved highway
from Durham to Raleigh, is 13
miles from Chapel Hill.
In this 13 miles there are GER
tain stretches where, after much
rain has fallen, the motorist is
apt to get into trouble. If
these stretches were properly
surfaced and drained the short
route could be used in all wealth
er.
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Brown are
the first persons, so far as
known, who have slept eveA'y
night in Chapel Hill and worked
every day in Raleigh. They
leave here at about 7:15 in the
morning and Raleigh at about
$50 in the afternoon.

Municipal Expenditures for the

At 8 o'clock this friday
evening, in the town manager 5
office on the upper floor of the
Peoples Bank building, the board
of aldermen will hold a public
hearing on the municipal bud

with every class of expenditure
set down separately. The docu-

If tinancing"-that is, the source
from which is to be raised the
money necessary for each de-
partment Of the government.
The amount which will have
to be raised through the general
tax levy is $2O,932. OF this,
S14,999 goes for operation and
$5,933 for bond interest and
sinking fund inStallments.
The money obtained through
the tax levy is only about half of
the towns budget for operating
expenses. This total is $40, 139.
Revenue from various miscell-
aneOuS sources makes up ap-
proximately $4,000 of the op-
GRAFTON fund.

At Burlington he leaned out of

CIT the Pool

Among all the innovations in

the last few years, l do not know
of one that has added more to

the Sparrow swimming pool a

summer days is a delight.

proudly displaying their varied
contours to the admiring public
gaze. DR.. Nathan lifted. his
hands to point, and his great
bulk, describing a graceful para
bola, hurled itself into the wa

by a procession of pillows chas-
ing one another angrily down
the length of the pool.

DR.. MacNider wore this same

A gray mare, with a straw hat

stood between the shafts. And
on the seat was a girl. AS they

sheltered the couple from the
sun dropped backward for an

this country has ever used to date and it has used

So the gas" problem seems simpe-bu it isn't The
joker is this:
1t will cost considerably to produce gasoline
and Iubrcating oil from shale than from petrol

may cost twice as much present gasoline and the
coal gasoline three four times as much.
