Kiwanis Aids Library
Members Contribute Books and Maga-
zines; Talk by l.. r. Wilson

The main topic of discussion
at the meeting of the Kiwanis
club of Chapel Hill Tuesday eve
ming was public libraries. The
members resolved to aid the
movement to provide reading
for the people, and every one
present gave books and maga-
zines for the Orange county IL
brary in Hillsboro.
Louis R. Wilson, University
librarian, talked about county
libraries. Miss Hyman, school
supervisor, told of the library
plans for Orange.
j. Maryon Saunders, T. S.
Howard, and r. M. Grumman
were chosen as delegates to the
annual convention of the Caro-
linas district of Kiwanis Nov
ember 6, 7, and 8 in Raleigh
The alternates are 0. F. Rich
ardson, Rev. Eugene Olive, and

the living room is the audi

upon the actors when a perform

for entrances and exits. Off at

is the buffers pantry-all CON

During the progress of a
meal the lights over the arch are
not turned on. But suppose
somebody should su d d e n y
switch them on while MIR. Far
rar was carving the chicken.
Maybe, before he realized it, he
would find himself rising from
his chair to launch into Hamlet S
soliloquy or some other appro-
pirate speech. And if the thing
happened when Miss Farrar was
at home on a holiday, who knows
but that she would desert the
tomato salad to deliver a little
talk about the quality of mercy
or the inconstant moon?

Two of the rooms in the P. c.
Farrars' new home. out on the
hill overlooking the golf course,
have been built and lighted so
that they can be transformed
into little theatre at mo-
ment's notice.
The Farrars are all interested
in dramatics. Mr.. Farrar is in
charge of play production at the
Chapel Hill school: and he is
talented as an actor, as the spec
tators at "Agamemnon" in the
kenan stadium last year we'll re-
member. Miss Miss Elizabeth EEifzzaabb Far
rar, like her mother before her,
distinguished herself in the dra-
matte organization at Wellesley
College. She took the leading
role IN AgamemnOn here, and
last winter was with the Fritz
Leiber repertoire company. This
season she will be one of the
Neighborhood Players in New
York.
The Farrars' land out near the
Country Club slopes steeply, and
they accommodated their house
to the ground by building it on
different levels. Thus the topo-
graphy was well adapted to the
plan for family theatre.
Whether Mr.. Farrar picked out
sloping ground so that he could
have a theatre, or designed the
theatre because he had the slop-

and it is not important.

The Kings Daughters
Charitable Organization Prepares to
Make Appeal for Funds

The Kings Daughters, who
not only carry on their own
work for the relief of suffering,
but also serve as the official
charity wing of the town govern
ment, are preparing to make
their annual appeal for funds.
This is not one of those high
powered spectacular campaigns
like the "drives" of war time.
It is a quiet and orderly appeal
to the community to give aid to
the unfortunate. All contribu-
tions. large or small, are CRATE
fully received.
Mayor Council and Town
Manager Foushee issued q
joint statement yesterday urging
Cthe public to respond to the ap-
peal. "The Kings Daughters
are, doing splendid work., they
said. "and we urge all citizens to
help it along. The municipality
refers to the Kings Daughters
many cases of poverty and i'll
ness. and these are always pro-
perly investigated; and Of course
there are many other cases
which the organization attends
| to on it's own initiative. Contri.
butors can be sure that the
money they give will be used
where it is really needed"

WATER SHORTAGE.
FEARED; CAREFUL
USE IS ADVISED
Usual Consumption Is 100000
Gallons Daily, and Supply Is
Nearly Down to That
RATIONING L Asst RESORT

Because of an abnormally
light rainfall for several weeks
the Chapel Hill community is
threatened with water short
age.
The normal consumption is
100000 gallons a day. The
flow of the two creeks from
which the University and the
village get their water was only
100000 gallons day before yes
terday, and this represented a
decrease of 100000 gallons in
four days. In times of plentiful
rain the streams have a flow of
as much as 100000 gallons
day-nearly three times the
present volume.
The narrow margin of 100, 1000
gallons will be wiped out unless
it rains soon.
Consumers are urged by j. S.
Bennett, superintendent Of the
electric and water division of the
University Consolidated Service
Plants, to be as sparing as pos
slble in their use of water. Ra-
tioning will not be resorted to, of
course. unless it is made abso-
lutely necessary as an emergency
measure
IF everybody will practice the
utmost possible economy in the
use of water" said Mr.. Bennett
yesterday, I'VE may get by with
out curtailing the service. The
most important means of reduc-
ing resumption is to stop all
leaks in the plumbing. And it
will help a great deal if house
holders will not use water on
their lawns.
"The course to be adopted de-
pends upon the weather. We are
hoping for rain"
If the supply continues to de-
cline, and rationing becomes
necessary, the water will be
turned off during certain hours

for sprinkling streets, walks,
lawns, and gardens will be for

COMMITTEE PUTS
OFF EXAMINATION
OF THE BUDGET
At Mondays Meeting Trustees
Will Consider Only Matters
of Routine
APPOINTMENTS & LEAVES

The executive committee of
the University's board of trus-
tees will meet at II o'clock Mon
day morning in the Governor S
office in Raleigh.
It was expected that the bud
get would be considered at this
meeting, but it has not yet been
made up. All of the state insti-
tutiOns are filing their budgets
later this year than two years
ago. Monday the trustees at
tention will be directed princi-
pally to matters of routine, such
as appointments to the faculty,
designations, leaves Of absence,
and the admission Of students
who do not comply with the
strict requirements as to age but
who, according to established
practice, may be admitted if
the trustees approve.
In a notice sent out from Ra-
leigh early last month by the
state budget bureau, of which
Governor Gardner is chairman,
the heads of all institutions were
informed Of the condition of the
states finances and were direct
ed to cut their estimates to the
lowest possible figures.
With the notice was state
ment to the effect that the esti-
mates of state revenue for this
fiscal year (1930-193D was low
er by about $2,140,O00 than the
estimate made when the state
budget was prepared two years
ago. However, a report from
the revenue commissioner for
the first quarter of this fiscal
year July, August, and Sep
tember) does not indicate sucn
a large decrease. This report,
published in summary in the
neWspapers of day before yes
terday, shows decrease OF
$4,000 in the collections for the
general fund in the quarter just
ended as compared with the col
lections in the corresponding
three-months period Of 1929
For last year the figure was
$3,163, 900, for this year it is
$3,O84,O 900.

HELLO, MOON!

To signal the moon by radio is the
ambition of DR.. a. Hoyt Taylor,
Chief of the Radio Division of the
United States Naval Research Lab
oratories. DR.. Taylor, who is the
first person ever to broadcast a
speech by President of the United
States, Cabinet member, or a
member of Congress, asserts that his
idea, although it might sound fam
tastic, is easily within the range Of
possibility.
To carry radio signal $780,
900 miles to the moon and return
it at its speed of 1866 miles per
second should require two and
eight-tenths seconds. The signal
would be very weak, DR.. Taylor
says, but it might be detected by re-
ceiving instruments with their pres
ent high degree of refinement. It
is planned to use high frequency
wave which penetrates readily the
earth'e atmosphere and probably
goes far beyond. Twenty kilowatts of
power, the equivalent of about forty
