A Serious Problem for the University

"A university's strength lies
in its faculty"
This is a statement frequently
made in discussions of higher
education. It has been fire.

the University of North Caro-
lima and in explanation of this
Institutions high position and
prestige.
But unless means are found
to lift the professors salaries to
a higher scale the University of
North Carolina, as sure as night
follows day, is going to lose the
place of leadership which it has
won in the last quarter of a CEN
tury. In spite of all we hear
about "the higher satisfactions
of a scholars 'life"-meaning
that money is not the only re-
ward he seeks-professors are
like other people in that they
prefer to be well paid for their
work. They want to live in
comfortable houses, to have ade-
quate food and clothing, to get
away for occasional vacations,
and, above all, to possess the
sense of security which comes
from an assured income of
decent proportions. And they
will go where they can have
these advantages.

Black Bear

Black Bear, the celebrated
pony, came to Chapel Hill on
Thursday evening of last week
and demonstrated his intelli-
gence in Memorial hall.
This pony's owner used to
keep him on w. w. FuIler's farm
near New York. The fame of
his powers spread about, and he
was written up extensively in the
newspapers and magazines.
North Carolina friends of Mr..
Fuller's saw him when they went
to the North and returned with
reports of the remarkable things
he did. A few months ago he
was brought to Durham, and
since then, still in charge of his
owner, he has been quartered on
a farm of John Sprunt Hills on
the outskirts of the city. 1t is
said that a psychologist in the
Duke University faculty has
been making exhaustive obser-
vations of the animal in the eff
fort to discover the nature of his
brain.
On the stage Black Bears
equipment comprises two racks.
Each consists of two iron bars,
one above the other. On the
bars of one rack hang the let
ters of the alphabet, on the bars
of the other hang numerals.
Spectators ask questions, and
Black Bear answers them by
walking along the racks and pull
ing off, with his mouth, the let
ters and the numerals. For ex-
ample, when he was asked what
day of the month it was, last
Thursday, he pulled off the
numerals 3 and 0. When he
was asked what year it was he
pulled off the numerals l, 8, 2,
8. When a letter is pulled off,

Seeing the Evening Primroses Open

The opening of evening prim-
roses / find to be about the finest
garden show | have ever seen.
| had my first sight of it
when my wife and were at
Mrs. Edmister's in June a year
ago. Mrs. Edmister gave us
some seed; they were planted on
the edge of our garden, and
when May came grew into big
straight stalks; and in this last
week, at dusk every evening,
the delicate yellow flowers have
been springing open before our
eyes.
At half past seven o'clock
there are only buds. These
buds are so tight that it seems
hardly believable that they are
about to burst into bloom. But,
having become familiar with
their habits, you know what to
expect. There are two or three
score of them, and you look from
one to another and wonder just
where the performance is going
to begin.
Presently you discern a slight
trembling near the top of a
stalk, and one Of the buds there
is seen to swell ever SO slightly.

New Money on Display
Bank Here Shows Paper Currency
Soon to Be Put in Circulation

-Four specimens Of the new
paper money which will be
placed in circulation July 10
were put on display in a glass
case in the lobby of the Bank of
Chapel Hill this week. A picture
of George Washington appears
on the 81 bill, Thomas Jeffer-
son on the So, Abraham Lincoln
ON the s. and Alexander
Hamilton on the $40.
The new bills are considerably
smaller than those now in cir
culation, being 6 SIG inches long
by 2 11-16 inches wide. Every
kind of paper currency except
national bank notes will be
issued in the new size and colors,
in denominations Of 81 to $50.
Eventually all paper money, in
cluding national bank notes in
denominations up to $4,000,
will take on the new dress.
On the back of bill will be
the building most closely asso-
ciated with the man whose face
appears on the other side. Thus,
Monticello will be pictured on
the Two, the Lincoln Memorial
on the Five, and the Treasury on
the Ten.
The new currency will be
harder to counterfeit than the
old and will also be more durable.
The small segments of silk fibre
will be scattered through the
note instead of being localized
in rows.

Blake Gets a Prize
Officer Rewarded for Bringing about
Conviction of Car Thief

John d. Blake, University
policeman, is the first officer in
this section to receive a $50 re-
ward from the Carolina Motor
Club for the recovery of an auto
mobile and conviction of the
thief. L. H. Gooch, district
manager of the organization,
presented the check.
Officer Blake was responsible
for the capture and conviction of
the young man who stole the
coupe of William Way, Jr., last
month.
No reward is paid by the
Motor Club for recovery of a
members car unless the thief is
captured and convicted. This
was adopted in an effort to
stimulate activity in apprehend-
ing car thieves. Experience has
proved that, where rewards are
offered for merely recovering
automobiles, in some instances
the reward has been paid to the
thief or to confederate.
Since the Carolina Motor Club
was organized in 1922, cars
have been stolen from 800 men,
bers; 848 have been returned to
the owners, leaving 18, or less
than three per cent, uncovered.

Chapel Hill Chaf

At a garden party the other
evening the talk turned to that
celebrated type, the Absent
minded Professor. Mrs. Kuttz
told about the distressing strug-
giles of her former neighbor,
John M. Booker, with his vege-
table garden. And Addison
Hibbard contributed this story
on himself: He hurried home
one afternoon to change his
clothes for tennis, but after he
had started undressing he began
to think about something else,
forgot tennis, put On his pa
jamas, and went to bed.
While the crowd was staring
at the locomotive of 1880, on
Pittsboro street Wednesday
morning, Charles T. Woollen,
business manager of the Uni
versity, came hurrying up with
the latest Southern Railway
timetable, a brilliant yellow
volume, sticking in his pocket.

an Absent Minded Professor and
had come here, instead of going
to Durham, to begin a railway
journey,
Not long ago | was complain
ing that the long name of the

Plants was an annoyance to
check-writers. But that does

BOARD CONSIDERS
BUDGET TONIGHT
Aldermen VIII Meet to Examine
and Possibly to Approve
Years Cost Schedule
LIFT IN TAX RATE LIKELY

The aldermen are to meet at
8 o'clock this FRIDAY EVENING"
to discuss the municipal budget
for the coming year. For the
last few weeks Town Manager
Foushee has been engaged in
preparing it, and the aldermen
have had several meetings to re-
ceive and discuss his recommen-
dations.
The fiscal year of the munich
pality began June l, and under
the law the budget must be ap-
proved by July l. 1t may be
that the aldermen will give it
their final approval at this eve
ning's meeting. The tax rate
cannot be fixed until the listing
of taxable property is completed,
since the rate depends upon the
total assessments. The rate may
not be known until fall.
The school rate will probably
remain as it is, but it is almost
certain that the rate for operat-
ing the town government will be
higher than last years. At the
same time the county rate will
be reduced, in consequence of
the school and highway acts
passed by this years legislature.
How far the county reduction
will go to offset the town in
crease remains to be seen.
The coming due, within the
next twelve months, of serial
bonds issued for street improve
ments will be the principal cause
of whatever increase there is in
the town rate. A considerable
part of the cost of these i'm
provements is covered by as
sessments upon property bene-
fitted thereby, but some of the
cost must be provided from the
general property tax.
The budget for this coming
year carries the salary of an adj
ditional patrolman on the police
force.

the blossom is spread wide be-
fore you in all it's golden beauty.
It is dainty, exquisite--it has a
maidenly quality. Here is no
brazen modern flapper, but a
damsel of the olden days, de-
mure and wondering as she looks
out upon the world. You cannot
imagine her advertising a
cigarette or taking out over the
ocean in an airplane; rather she
suggests langourous afternoons
in hammock, crinolines, and
the minuet.

through the night, and perish
when the sun strikes them in the

The salary scale here has
increased in recent years, but it
has not kept up with the mount
ing standards of living. Rela-
tively-that is, as compared
with other institutions of the
same rank-the University of
North Carolina has actually de-
clined in respect to the pay of
teachers. This year a standard
of $4,000 for teachers of profess
serial rank was established at
the University of Virginia,
against a maximum of about
$4,000 here. (Our professors
paid from the Kenan fund re-
ceive more than 81, 800, but only
two or three of them are at the
Virginia level.)
Three or four months ago
came the announcement that
Paul John Weaver had resigned
his professorship of music to go
to Cornell. This was followed
in a few weeks by the announce
ment that Parker H. Daggett, of

resigned to accept a place at Rut-
gers. In each of these instances
an important factor in drawing
the man away from Chapel Hill,
the controlling factor,
was the advance in salary. We

THE TOWNS NEW
COURT IS OPENED
Recorder Hinshaw Makes Brief
Address; Six Cases Tried
and Three Continued
GUTHRIE DRAWS 80 DAYS

The Recorders Court, Chapel
Hills new tribunal for the trial
of minor criminal cases, had its
first session in the Town Hall
Monday morning. Recorder C.
P. Hinshaw, in a brief address
at the opening, declared his
resolution to uphold the dignity
of the court and to dispense JUS
tice to the best of his ability.
Pink Guthrie, charged with
drunkenness, was the defendant
in case No. l. He was sentenced
to 80 days on the roads.
Another negro, who had been
found with half a pint of whis-
key near a restaurant on West
Franklin street, was charged
with illegal possession of liquor.
He was fined 500 and costs.
Costs, without fines, were in
flicted upon two violators of
traffic ordinances. A man who
turned his car around on the
business block of Franklin street
had to pay $3.50, and a man who
came out, of an alley upon the
same block and turned to the
left had to pay $5.55. Probably
many citizens of the village have
not been aware that such a left
turn is against the law, and this
will serve as a warning to them.
The driver who comes into the
business block from the post
office. alley, from the alley by
the bus station, or from any
other alley, roadway, or park
ing space, is allowed to turn to
the right only.
Six cases were tried at Mon
day mornings session, and three
were continued. The fines,
which go to the county school
fund, came to $50, and the costs,
which go into the town treasury,
came to $45.

morning was of course at the old Ty-
Ter Journal office where | started as
devil" on May II, 1904, little more
than 25 years ago. A. K. Staining is
now editor and we had a pleasant and
interesting visit, among other things
digging out the old files of the Journal
from 25 years back. While in the
Journal office in walks NJ Glemme-
stad, the banker, with whom | de-
posted my first dollar in a bank He
looks hale and hearty and has with
stood the test of nearly 80 years as
banker. He said that | was not to
leave Tyler before I had called on
his wife and so / did and was glad
to do it as she was my teacher when
I went to grade school there in the old
frame building which is now one of
the exhibit buildings on the county
fair grounds. Mr.. Glemmestad has a
wife that any man should be proud to
have. While at the Glemmestad home
we had the pleasure also of meeting
a Pine county man, my friend, j. A.
Peterson of Pine City, station agent
there for many years, who was also
visiting in Tyler. His son, Elmer
Peterson, an attorney at Albert Lea
is married. to Mr.. Glemmestads
daughter. Elmer and his family were
also at the Glemmestad home. others
we called on were VIM. Holm, ]. P.
JOhansen; Chris Lauritsen, the other
banker; Hemming Billie, Glade Jens,
and others, folks who are known to
a number of Askov people. They sent
greetings as did also the Rev. c. p.
Hojbjerg and his family at the Dane
bod folk high school where we spent
an hour. A visit with the Rev. Hoj-
bjerg, who is deep student of af
fairs, is most interesting and educa-
tional. An hour is most too short and
it was difficult to get away. The Rev.
Hojbjerg will lecture in Askov this
fall on the race question, one evening
to be devoted to the Negro problem.
Intensified Farming.
1t appeared that the rainfall around
Tyler had been more plentiful than
farther west and north, though they
lacked moisture, but the country1ooks
beautiful, This likely in part is at
tributable to the fact that the farms
are not as large as around Redfield
and WatertOwn. Tyler farms are
mostly so acres, some 100, few 200
and only one, we were told, is 800
acres. They are well titled and all
have beautiful groves. Another rea-
son for their success is the fact that
they practice dairying. Thou h
thought of as small grain country
they have a cooperative creamery
that does business of about the same
volume as the one in Askov The
village also shows that it is the CEN
ter of prosperous community as
there are modern business blocks, one
right alongside of the other, and this
could not be the case if the farmers
were not doing we'll. The residence
streets are an example for other viii
lagos to emulate, though it is village
of but about 1000 people. There are
trees both inside and outside of the
sidewalk, and strolling along there is
