MOUSE SEES WORLD UNLIKE ONE
VIEWED BY MAN, SAYS SCIENTIST
Tests of Eyes Described to Society of
Mammologists Plea for Humane
Killing of Fur Animals.

Some animals live in an entirely diff
ferent sort Of world than that of human
beings.
That Is, they see things In different
way from man because they have diff
ferent eyes and a person who eX-
changed eyes with them hardly would
recognize familiar surroundings.
This was demonstrated before the
American Society of Mammologists,
meeting here today, by Paul r. Moody
of the University of Vermont who told
of laboratory experiments with the
white-footed mouse, an animal much
used In tests OF this kind because 1t
behaves so well in captivity.
What Deer Mouse Sees.
Nobody ever can know exactly what
q deer mouse sees, Mr.. Moody says,
but can conjecture from the structure
Of its eye. what forms fall within its
field of vision. The human eye. he
pointed out. Is relatively small lens
which can be adjusted readily for near
or distant objects. The mouse, on the
other hand, has o large lens and there
are no adequate muscles for focusing
1t so that the only way the view can
be changed is by changing the posi-
ton. The human eyes are such that
both can be dXed upon one OBJECT. Inc
eyes Of the mice point TO the sides.
rather than the front as do human
eyes, and hence the creature probably
cannot fix both eyes upon an object,
but the angles of vision of the two
eyes may overlap slightly.
Generally, however. the mouse must
look at one thing with one eye and at
an altogether different thing with the
other. This difference, Mr.. Moody said.
may constitute the great difference be-
tween the world OF man and the world
OF he mouse. for 1t is largely by the
ability to focus both eyes upon a single
object that man is able to judge size
and distance. II human being had to
look through the eyes Of deer mouse
he might behold q curiously contorted
world.
The deer mouse lacks the mechanism
by which the human eye distinguishes
colors and probably is color-blind, Mr..
Moody said. adding that elaborate tests
have borne out this conclusion. The
mouse, however, is compensated for this
by much better developed eye mechR-
nism for detecting fine differences in
the intensity Of light. He is largely a
nocturnal animal, to whom the colorado
tecting mechanisms would be of little
u :, since even with men they cease to

function in very dim light, all colors
subsiding into common grayness.
Mr.. Moody said he had been conduct
ing for some time tests to determine
the degree of light sensitivenoss of the
mouse eye. These consisted Of placing
at equal distances on each side Of the
animal a dim light and q bright light.
When the animal moves toward the
dim light he receives an unpleasant
electric shock. but his progress Is un-
impeG d toward the bright light The
Intensity of the bright light Is then low
cred by degrees until 1t Is indistinguish-
able to the human eye from the dim
light. Over $4,000 tests have been con-
Quoted. These have shown generally
that the mice have remarkable abili-
ty in distinguishing intensities.

Short trapping seasons at the right

will assure some Of the stock being left
for other years. AS a practical example,
he pointed out that $50 mink captured
In southeastern Alaska In two months
when their fur is at the best would be
worth more than $4,000, while 1000
taken In the same place in three
months would be worth nearly $1,000

The Government he pointed out. has
set aside elk preserves where the ami

that in Yellowstone Park. This herd,
he said, has dwindled from $4,000 In

Mr. Chase Says Professors Were Not Dismissed

The Ne,Os and Observer published
Sunday the report of a letter from
Malcolm d. Young, a University
alumnus, to John J. Tigert, United
States Commissioner of Education,
charging that five professors
Messrs. Tome, Holland, Garfield,
Cassidy and Newcomb-had been
dismissed from the University for
helping to organize tobacco company
employees in WinstOn-Salem.
President Chase made a complete
denial in Wednesdays papers. In
substance his statement is: No pro-
fessor has been dismissed from the
University. Nobody named Tome has
been connected with the institution.
Mr.. Holland was offered an increase
of salary for next year, but resigned
to go to Wisconsin Mr. Garfield re-
turns next year at an increased sal
airy. Mr.. Cassidy resigned July to
accept position elsewhere. During
the year an honest difference Of opin-
ion had developed between him and
the head of his department regarding
the propriety of certain activities but
side the classroom. The difference
was finally composed to the satisfac-
ton of both parties. He has ex-

New Building Started
Classroom Structure Going up in
Southern Part Of Campus

The new classroom building
provided for in the appropria-
tion by the last legislature has
been put under construction.
The excavation has been about
completed and the concrete foun-
dations are being laid.
This building will stand just
to the south of Murphey hall,
occupying a position correspond
ing to that of Steele dormitory
on The eastern face Of the mall"
in the southern part of the cam
pus. The new library has the
end position, opposite the South
building, and eventually-when
money becomes available-there
will be buildings on the west
conforming with the layout on
the east.
Soon after the adjournment of
the legislature in 1927 the trus-
tees building committee decided
not to- use any of the appropria-
tion for a dormitory, since the
building fund requested by the
University was not all granted.
But the state attorney general
decided that the University was
legally bound to erect a dormi-
tory; and SO the building COM
mittee revised its schedule so as
to include both dormitory and
classroom building.

assistant. A tray with the de-
sired refreshments would be
brought out. The party in the
car would linger on, and before
departing would throw the de-
bris on the sidewalk or in the

The penalty prescribed for
the violation of the ordinance is
laid upon the merchant. If any
body in car wants to leave it,
go into a store and buy food or
drink, and then return to his
car to consume his purchase
there is nothing in the ordi.

CIVIC BODY WILL
DISCUSS COUNTY
EXPENSES TODAY
Important Items in Budget to
Be Considered at Meet
ing in HillsbOrO
4 P. M. AT COURT HOUSE

AT a meeting at 4 o'clock to-
day friday, in the court house
in Hillsboro, the Orange County
Civic Association will discuss
many important aspects of coun-
ty finance.
One question is: shall the
county establish its own garage
and employ a mechanic to make
repairs on school buses and
road machinery? The present
repair bills reach a big total,
and it has been suggested that
the work could be done much
more economically in the coun-
tvs own establishment.
Other subjects to be consider
ed relate to the retention of the
rural school supervisor, the en-
ployment of county farm agent
and of a superintendent of pub
lie welfare, an audit of the ac-
counts of the sheriff and the
treasurer, the formulation of a
road-building and road-mainte-
nance program, the engagement
of a full-time county accountant
who shall also be tax supervisor
and purchasing agent, and the
creation of q permanent prison
camp.
The secretary of the associa-
tion will have ready for inspec-
ton, at today's meeting, a sheet
showing (1) last years budget,
~ expenditures to June 80, and
(3) the budget request for the
coming year.

pressed himself on more than one oc4
casion, most lately in his letter of
resignation, as feeling that my treat
ment of him has been entirely fair
and reasonable" Mr.. Newcomb (who,
Mr. Young said, was dismissed for
turning in a too radical report on an
aspect of the negro problem), was not
a member of the faculty. He was a
research assistant in the Institute for
Research in Social Science (Which
was financed through a grant from
the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Mem
oriaD, on one-year appointment.
Mr. Newcomb's s work was unsatis-
factory to the Institute and it was not
utilized. The right of such a group
to pass such judgment is, | believe,
not open to question. The Institute
had no responsibility whatever to
Mr.. Newcomb beyond the year of his
engagement The intimation that
the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Mem
orial had anything to do with the
specific project undertaken, or with
the judgment passed on the work, is,
of course, to one who knows anything
about the policies Of educational
foundations, too silly to require COM
ment."

An Exhibit of Rhythm
Miss Reuschel to Conduct Demon.
stratiOn by Pupils Monday Evening

Miss Nelly Reuschel will con-
duct a demonstration by the
children in her classes in Dal-
croze Eurythmics in Memorial
hall at 7:15 Monday evening
For several weeks she has had
her pupils in training, and she
has perfected them in the va
rious phases of the rhythmic
exercises.
Dalcroze Eurythmics is a
bodily Interpretation of music.
Every type of rhythm is ex-
pressed by certain motions of
the body, there being a definite
movement for each phase of the
rhythmic idea. Musical dynam-
les, such as Ioudness and soft
ness and accent, are paralleled
by certain physical reactions.
The expressive element in the
music regulates the movements,
giving a different sweep to the
arms, or a different curve to the
body.
Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, a
Swiss composer, originated the
system. He has built it up so
that it may serve the needs of
modern education. The idea
has taken such a firm hold in
America that there has come in
to being the American Institute
of Dalcroze Eurythmics which
is a teachers training school.
The art is taught in music
schools and theatre and dance
schools scattered ali over the
country. Miss Reuschel is one
of it's most celebrated exponents.
She is a teacher in the New York
Institute of Musical Art.

ROADBY EDGE OF
CAMPUS WILL BE

Concrete Will Be Laid After
Dirt Surface Has Settled
During Winter M0nths
WIDTH WILL BE 80 FEET

The stretch of new highway
south of the University campus,
from the Pittsboro highway on
the west to the Country Club
road on the east, will be paved
with concrete next year. 1t will
be 80 feet wide, with concrete
curb and gutter on each side.
There is no uncertainty about
the improvement. The money
for it is already provided,
through the state highway COM
missions allotments for this dis
trict, but the work will not be
done now because the newly
graded surface is too soft eff
concrete is laid before the
ground underneath has had time
to SETTLE" says District Engineer
Somerville, "the result is sure
to be unsatisfactory. We will
put down as good a dirt surface
as possible, to last through the
winter, and then, when warm
weather comes we will lay the
pavement"
Money is not yet available for
hard-surfacing the road from
Chapel Hill to where it joins No.
10 at Nelson, between Durham
and Raleigh. The covering on
this 13-mile stretch will be of
gravel or sand-clay. Mr.. Som
erville told an inquirer this week
that the road would probably be
open for traffic in September.
Some day it will be paved; when,
nobody knows.

Gray Wins Title
''FirpO" Is Now FIyweight Champion
of Military Encampment

When Edmund Gray, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert L. Gray,
lived in Chapel Hill his play
mates nicknamed him FirpO be-
cause Of his proWesS as a boxer.
That was at the time when the
South American pugilist, the
''Wild Bull of the Pampas," was
in the limelight.
Newspaper dispatches from
Fort Bragg reveal that young
Gray has kept up his training
with the gloves. At the military
training camp he engaged in
three bouts. In two of them he
got the decision on points; in
the third he knocked his adver-
sary cold. In consequence he
has the title of flyweight champ
ion of the camp.
In his fighting togs he weighs
112 pounds. But he is built so
big for his poundage, with such
a reach and such a fierce punch,
that some of the onlookers at his
bouts at Fort Bragg thought ne
might fairly have been pitted
against youths of a heavier class.
