King Amanullah greatly resented

PENDERGRAFTS
T0CEC HEAVILY
IN GARAGE FIRE
Building, Ten New ChevrOlets
and Four Stored Cars Are.
Destroyed

Pendergraft Motor Company
on West Franklin Street was
visited by fire early Monday
morning, and its building and
contents were rendered a com
plete loss.
Mr.. Pendergraft estimated his
loss at about $4,000. -Four
cars, belonging to other people
were also burned, and the total
damage done by the fire was APP
proximately $4,000. A total of
thirty-four cars were consumed
in the flames, of which ten we're
new Chevrolets. Among the
other cars burned were one Cad
lilac, owned by Theodore Riddle /;
one Chevrolet of the Extension
Division of the University and
one Chevrolet which was the
property of University stu
dent. This car had been stolen
about six weeks ago and had
been recovered and stored. An
other car, belonging to Mr.. Nc
Cauley, was also burned.
There was no insurance on the
garage. However, the General
Motors Company carried insur-
ance on all the new Chevrolets
which almost covered their loss.
The fire had gained such head
way by the time the firemen ar
rived on the scene that it was
beyond their control so far as
the garage was concerned, and
efforts were concentrated to
keep the flames from spreading
to. nearby buildings.--Callahan

School Board Decides to
Restore Salary Schedule
Of Chapel Hill Teachers

Members of the faculty of the
local public school, who were
propelled into 2 state of pertur-
baton last week by announce
ment of budget providing dras-
TIC cuts in salaries, were reas-
sured Thursday morning by the
board, which has found a way
to restore the old salary sched-
ule.
1t was at meeting held We'd
nesday afternoon at school, fol-
lowing week of community
conversation concerning the sit
uation, that the board, through
reorganization of the teaching
force and schedule, effected a
saving that promises to main
tain the existing status. There
will be less work for some of
the faculty but one retiring
members place will not be filed.
Nothing is predicated on a
boost in the tax-rate, and no ac-
acknowledgement is made of the
helpfulness of rumor in reach
ing adjustment. Concerning
rumor, which was unusually
prevalent even for a small and
highly-cultured village, the board
assured the teachers that fully
so per cent of this was unworthy
of credence.
1t is doubtful whether this ac-
tion of the board comes in time
to keep the personnel of the fac
ulty intact; but there were sew
eral teachers considering en-
ployment elsewhere and deter
mined to resign if required to ac-
cept reduced pay whose depar-
ture may be averted.

MOUNTAIN DRAMA
MAKES WAY FOR
GALLO COMEDY
Jones to Portray type That APP
peals to Women" in Gay Pro-
ductiOn Class Offering
(By Margaret Broadus)

Studio Productions of Eng
lish 81" will be on the bill for
the Playmaker Theatre for the
nights of May % and 20, when
the members of the play produc-
ton class will personally direct
and put on three plays the first
night and three different plays
the second.
The class is conducted by Mr..
Heffner and Mr.. Selden and they
assisted in the selection of the
plays which are in the main Eng
lish and French. The Playmak-
ers are anxious for it to be
known that they have nothing
whatsoever to do with the per-
formances and the young direc-
tors advertise that no "plays of
native Carolinians" will be on
the bill.
The actors in five of the plays
are students, but one of the plays
boasts itself to be Of as much
importance as the mumps, for
its cast is restricted entirely to
the faculty-and- -their-wives. The
play is French--French of the
best sort, or of the worst, in the
words of Director Mary Mar
garet Wray--and the characters
ronp through the play and do
their best to destroy the moral
tone set by Prof. George Me-
Kie, who plays the second lead
ing role. The lead is "the type
that appeals to women" and
when Howard Mumford Jones
heard that this play was to be
produced he came to the director
and recommended himself as be-
ing entirely suited TO the part
and volunteered his services.
After his portrayal Of the drunk

Registrar Paul Robertson has
been utterly conscientious in his
: attention to the registration
books-having them open at
the Moore-Johnson hardware
store from seven o'clock in the
morning until six in the eve

unsatisfactory to those who
want to see the will of all the
people of this community re-
corded at the polls.

City Council Makes First
Move Toward the Adoption
Of City Zoning Ordinance

City Council Thursday morn
ing adopted on first reading a
zoning ordinance for the town
of Chapel Hill.
The new legislation came be-
. fore the the board III the the form of #
a report from it's coming COM
mission, composed of Council
men M. E. Hogan, G. M. Braune
and P. l.. Burch, which has had
the matter under consideration
for almost a year. The ordi-
nance, with the accompanying
zone map, will now be published
for the scrutiny. of the citizen
ship.
Fifteen days after it's presen-
tation to the populace the mat
ter will be again brought before
the council at a public meeting.
At this time protests and plaud-
it's, if any, will receive due at
tention.
Growth of Chapel Hills busi-
ness and residence districts, ad-
justment of fire insurance rates
and other numerous and tedious
items in the list of growing pains
have rendered imperative some
effort looking toward their or
derly easement. City Manager
Knox, who has zoned and been
zOned against aforetime at Nor
folk, Va, is hopeful of the out
come, but does not expect per-
lection. He says that the COM
mission has given generously of
time and thought to the matter,
and thinks the result will in the
main be satisfactory to the COM
munity.

"FIREPROOF,"
SAYS DR REII
M \ Il ~ OkNo Ok1A4L
AFTER BLAZE
Loss of Chemicals Demonstrates
That Chemistry Building
Is Safe

Fire of unknown origin broke
out in the reserve store-room in
the basement of Venable Hall be-
tween $3.50 and 400 o'clock Sat-
urday morning and did consider
able damage to the building and
equipment, besides making it i'm
possible to hold any more chem
istry laboratory periods until
the impaired ed equipment Ell I'll Is re-
placed.
The fire was discovered by the
night watchmen at 4:05 a. m.
and was put under control in a
short time by the fire depart
ment, which did an excellent
piece of work in fighting it.
The exact damage financially,
is not yet known but it will run
somewhere between $4,000 and
$4,000, it is thought. The part
of the building damaged by fire
is closed at the present time
while University officials and in
surance experts are appraising
the amount of damage. The re-
serve storeroom was gutted and
the contents of the upper store
room completely ruined by heat
and smoke.
Several theories have been adj
vanced as to how the fire origi-
mated, but officials have been un-
able to fasten on any one of
them as the true cause. The
storeroom had been inspected the
evening before at $3.50 and at
that time everything seemed to
be in very good shape.
There were four major explo-
sions during the fire and several
minor ones. Any one of these
would have been sufficient to
have started the fire.
The chemistry department is
carrying on its lecture courses
as usual, but all laboratory
courses have been discontinued
because of a lack of chemicals.
A new store of chemicals has
been ordered and is now await
ing shipment in Philadelphia.
According TO DIR. j. NJ. Bell
of the chemistry department, the
fire was as hard a test as could
possibly have been applied to the
building and proved beyond any
doubt that it is absolutely fire.

l3 CLASSES TO
HOLD REUNIONS
ON JUNE NINTH

ing Commencement Is All
Fun and No Business

Thirteen classes will meet at
the annual University COM

June 9, under the schedule of
class reunions which was adopt
ed two years ago by the General
Alumni Association.
The first consideration given
the alumni programs that, con-
tinuing the policy established
last year, there will be an "alI
fun-no business" program.
Since the regular annual busi-
ness meeting of the Alumni AS
sociation has been moved up
from the busy Commencement
season to the fall of the year,
there will not be the necessity
for business sessions of the
alumni.

generations: 1884, 1885, 1886,
and 1887; 1903, 1904, 1905, and
1903; and 1922, 1923, 1924, and
1925. The baby class, 1927,
will also hold the One-year re-
union customary with the Uni
versity classes. The class of
1918, whose ten-year anniver-
sary comes this year, will not
meet formally, but will reserve
its energies and drive for a mon
ster reunion next year. when it
meets with other classes in its
college generation. o
The class committee of the
class of 1908, whose 25-year an
niversary it is, has held several
meetings in preparation for this
reunion and plans to have a
large proportion of the class
here. This committee is COM
posed of DIR. N. w. Walker, sec
retary of the class, w. r. Carr,
and j. l.. Morehead Of Durham,
and Graham Andrews of Ra-
leigh. All the members of the
1908 baseball team are still liv-
ing and it is hoped to have them
take part in a short game while
here.
The baby contest which was
inaugurated last year will be
held again this year, The babies
will not be present in person,
but all alumni who wish to en-
ter their young hopefuls will
send in pictures of them and the
selections will be made from the
pictures. As a precautionary
measure it is announced that a
secret committee will have
charge of the Judging.
To begin the day there will
be a meeting in Gerard Hall at
