their chief source to be coating on teeth

Thus removing film from teeth is the first
step in having glorious1y white and healthier

Film Its Dangers
Run your tongue across your teeth and you
will feel this film. It absorbs stains from food

Wake Forest Wins
University Loses in Seasons Second
Match with the Baptists

Wake Forest won its second
baseball victory this season from
the University in the game We'd
nesday afternoon on Emerson
field. The score was 7 to 2.
Lanning, the visitors pitcher,
was too much for the University
batters. The 10 hits they got
were widely scattered.
Clean hits off Ball gave the
Baptists two runs in the first
inning, and after they had scored
again early in the second Ball
gave way to Fleming, who was
hatted out of the boy ia the
seventh and gave way to Wright.
There was no scoring after that.
The University has done well
against its out-of-state d. oppon-
ents this season, but not inside
the state. It has lost two games
to Duke and two to Wake For

DAGGETT WILL BE-
DEAN AT RUTGERS
Resigns His Post Here to Head
College of Engineering in
New Jersey University
ENTERS NEW HOME JULY /

Parker H. Daggett has re-
signed his professorship of cleo
trlcal engineering in the Univer-
sity of North Carolina to become
dean of the college of engineer
ing of Rutgers University in
New Brunswick, New Jersey.
The appointment takes effect
July l, and Mr.. Daggett and his
family will leave Chapel Hill to-
ward the end of June. They
have already leased a home in
New Brunswick.
After he took his S. B. degree
at Harvard Mr.. Daggett was
with the American Telegraph
and Telephone Company for a
few months. He came TO- Chapel
Hill in 1910 and has been here
continuously ever since. His
achievements have won him
recognition beyond the Univer-
sity's walls. In January of this
year he was elected president of
the State Engineering Society,
and last month the North Caro-
lima State Engineering Council
chose him for its president. He
has been member of the State
Board of Registration for En-
gineers and Land Surveyors
since the establishment of that
body, and has been its secretary
for the last four years.
Rutgers used to depend upon
endowments, but now it is the
University of the State of New
Jersey. The state is giving it
100000 a year, and the total
budget for this year is $780,
900. Recently Il separate col
lege for women was added to
the old college for men. The
women's campus is a mile from
the mems. Altogether there are
about $500 students.
New Brunswick is a city of
about so. 900 ponnlati0n. On the
main line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad between New York and
Philadelphia, it is so minutes
from New York on the fast ex-
presses. There are 40 trains a
day from New Brunswick to
New York.

Slump in Real Estate
Receivers Sale Shows Big Decline
i'm Land Yalues Here

The recent auction sale by the
receivers of the Chapel Hill In
surance and Realty Company re-
vealed a big slump in the
market value of building plots
on the outskirts of the village.
Under the order of the court the
properties of the bankrupt COM
pany had to be sold for cash, and
this made the prices lower than
if they had been sold on a long
term payment basis.
A lot that sold at from $1,000
to $1,000 four years ago now
brings from $3.50 to $500 in cash
or from $500 to $500 on long
term payments.
The decline in the values in
the heart of the village is not so
great, yet seems to be consider
able. w. s. Robertson refused
$4,000 four or five years ago
for the plot opposite the Graham
Memorial, and this went for
So, 900 at the recent auction.

LIBRARY OPENING
Is NEAR AT HAND
Books for the Children of the
Village Will be Available
This Coming Summer
GOOD QUARTERS ASSURED

The movement to establish a
children's library in connection
with the Chapel Hill school has
met~such good support that the
library will be opened this sum-
mer. The order for the neces-
sary shelves, tables, desks, and
chairs is about to~be placed, and
by the time they are ready for
installation there will be fair
supply Of books on hand. Some
books have been given, and
others are being bought with
the cash contributions.
The school has assigned the
spacious room at the southeast
corner Of the basement to the
library. The phrase, basement
room, however, does not ac-
curately describe the place. 1t
is mostly above ground, and
large windows provide it with
abundant natural light. Sun
light reaches it during a large
part Of the day.
About $1,000 has been sub
scribed, and Mrs. r. H. Wettach,
who is acting as treasurer Of the
committee, is still receiving con-
tributions. Anybody who wants
to aid the enterprise may send
a check to her. Although the
response to the appeal for sup
port has been generous, more
money is needed. The commit
tee wishes to thank all who
have contributed.
Unanimously the committee
has decided upon the name of
the Mary B. Pratt Library, in
memory of Mrs. Pratt. This is
a tribute to her public-spirited
service to Chapel Hill. She had
the idea for such a library sew
eral years ago and even sketched
plans for it.
The plan is to perfect a per-
manent organization soon. A
board Of direst0rs will be
chosen; and, while the coopera-
tiOn Of the school, in providing
quarters and attendance, will be
gratefully accepted, the man.
agement of the library will be
controlled by the directors.
