S. II. Hobbs, Jr., Is Making Survey of Mississippi

S. II. Hobbs, Jr., who is con-
ducting a survey of govern
mental, economic, and financial
conditions in Mississippi, left
here Tuesday for Il sojourn of
three weeks there. He went
first to the capital city Of Jack
son, to confer with the citizens
committee which retained him
for the task, but before he re-
turns he will visit other parts
Of the state.
Six advanced students, five Of
them from Mississippi, are

CONCRETE PAVING
MAY BE SOLUTION
Some Citizens of the Opinion
That Any Other Surface
Will Be Makeshift

Some of the citizens who
have given study to the street
maintenance problem in Chapel
Hill are coming around to the
opinion that eventually the
streets throughout the village
will have to be paved, as Frank
lin and Columbia streets now
are, with concrete.
There is little chance that
such an Improvement will be
undertaken in the near future,
for property owners are not
now in a mood to agree to the
necessary assessments; but the
sentiment for pavements may
grow stronger when the finan-
cial situation becomes more
cheerful.
The proposal to give the
streets what is called surface
treatment-that is, to lay a tar
surface like the one on the new
road from here to Nelson-has
been discussed with considerable
interest in the last few months.
That would be better than the
present clay and gravel top, of
course; but some think it would
be but a, makeshift-that it
would begin to wear out long
before it was paid for and that
the people would become dissat-
isfed with it.
A property owner called at
the town office one day recently
and asked Town Manager
Foushee this question: my lot
mas a frontage OF ~ feet on a
street that already has concrete
curbs and cutters. The width
of the street between the gut
ters is 10 feet. What would it
cost me, in the way of an assess
ment, if you put down a concrete
pavement"
"To begin with" said Mr.
Foushee, there must be an
agreement among the owners on
the block. More than half Of
tncm, representing more than
half the total frontage, must pc
tition for the laying Of an as
sessment before the aldermen
will authorize the improvement.
Then, Of course, the cost of

in Chapel Hill the greater part
Of the time. This is due to the
fact that here has been collected
the greatest mass of informa-
tion about other Southern states
as well as about North Carolina.
The ultimate purpose Of the
survey upon which Mr.. Hobbs
is engaged is to lay a founda-
tion, in accurate knowledge, for
the reconstruction of Miss
issippi's system of taxation.
Some of the leading citizens Of
the state got together a few
months ago and decided that If
Mississippi was to make prog
ress it would first have to know
itself-its economic and govern
mental organization or lack
thereof, it's resources, its poten-
for for t { n rs sri
culture, manufacturing, and
commerce. When they learned
Of the work Mr.. Hobbs had done
here in North Carolina they
chose him to direct the survey.

Limit on Pupils
School Board Has to Exclude Chill
dren from County Districts

After trying to find some
other solution of the overcrowd-
ing problem, the school board
confirms its previous action in
excluding from the school here
children from other districts.
This decision applies to the boys
and girls dwelling in country
neighborhoods where other
schools are available for them.
Every suggestion offered for
securing an additional teacher
here" says Superintendent
Hoyle in a letter to the parents,
has been exhausted. The board
has no desire to deprive your
children Of the advantages of
better school facilities, but in
justice to the children within the
Chapel Hill district it is neces-
sary to ask you to withdraw
your child. We hope that before
another year satisfactory ar
rangement Of this perplexing
situation may be made"
One parent whose child has
been coming in from the country
owns property in Chapel Hill and
pays 800 a year into the special
district school tax funds, yet
under the letter of the rule her
child must be withdrawn from
the school which she helps to SUD
port. There is a question as to
whether or not an execution
should be made in her case.

After defeats at the hands of
the Georgians in the last two

pear to have a good chance of

perts." Curley Byrd, the Mary
land coach whose team was de-
feated 43 to 0 by Carolina last

the Yale-Georgia contest, with
which the new stadium at Athens
is to be dedicated tomorrow, and
it will be back in North Carolina

will use the Pullmans as living
quarters.
The University of North Caro-
lima band, replendent in its new
uniforms, is making the trip to
Atlanta to play for the crowd on
Grant Field, and it may perform
also at Athens. White duck
trousers and blue blazers mono
grammed in white constitute the
uniform, and the bandsmen go
bareheaded. T. S. McCorkle is
the director of the band and +.

'SENATEISST|RRED,
BY CHURCH ISSUE.
HefIin Proposal Regarding
Flying of Pennant Draws
Heated Exchange.

by the ASSOE1&Se0 ETe9A NA
A proposal by Senator Hefiin, Demo-
crat. Alabama, to prohibit the flying Of
a church pennant during services at
sea above the American flag on United
States wafshipe resulted IN a heated
discussion In the Senate yesterday, In
which the Roman Catholic Church and
the Ku K1ux Khan were mentioned.
The Alabaman, who year ago as
sailed the flying Of church pennants
above the American flag. yesterday Of
fered an amendment to the cruiser con-
struction bill to prohibit such action.
The proposal was objected TO by SEN
ator Bruce, q Maryland Democrat, as
one inspired by the Khan.
The discussion gained Roadway and
progressed to such sharp interchange
of words that Senator Moses Of New
Hampshire, who was presiding at the
time. asked a clerk to read rule Of
the Senate prohibiting personal refer
ences Of one Senator to another.
Ten Vote for Proposal.
The upshot Of the affair was that the
Senate was forced TO 60 ON record by
roll call vote as to its views on the
question.
Only ten Senators voted for the pro-
posal, among them Hale of Maine. who
had accepted the Heffin amendment
before the verbal storm began. He an
nounced that for himself he did not
consider the vote one of religion, rs the
Navy had already decided to make the
change. Numerous other Senators. how
ever, including Borah of Idaho, Reed Of
Pennsylvania, Heflin and Tydings Of
Maryland, called upon the Senators to
vote on the religious issue raised.
T.,~A kAR@ ktxA all
Senator Tydings declared that under
our Constitution every man has the
right to make a damn fool Of himself
whenever he sees ut.
II hope" he added, I'VE will settle
this question today and now and for
all time. I hope we will put our God
ahead of our country. II that be un-
patriotic, then make the most Of Il"
Among those who objected to the pro-
poSal was Senator Gerry, Democrat,
Rhode Island, who was defeated for re-
election last Fall. He spoke after SEN
ator Walsh. Democrat, Massachusetts,
and Senator Heflin demanded to know
why these two Senator'S object to this
measure when the Navy had consented
to the change"
"When / assailed the Catholic pro-
gram In the Senate last Spring." said
Hefiin, 1.-THE Senator from Rhode Island
came to the Catholics rescue, and pre-
dicted then he would be defeated"
The Alabarnan declared that the only
difference between the italian nag"
and the church pennant flown by the
Navy was 1.-The Pope's crown, which Is
on the italian flag"
At this Bruce rose and declared that
| you have no right to speak In that
manner after being able to speak at my
generosity" Helm had overspoken his
time and had just received unanimous
consent to continue.
Rule Stops Exchange.
"The true moral quality of the Sena-
| tor from Alabama now comes out"
| Bruce shouted.
Before the affair could 60 any further
between the two Senators, who were
sanding close together, Chairman
Moses pounded for order and had read
the rule which prohibited personal ex-
changes.
