Income Tax Shows
Considerable Drop

Washington, March 17.-(AP)
Payments of income tax on
March Is incomes in 1881 amount
ed to $12,648,765 as compared
with $13,100,362 received on the
same date a year ago.
The payments made the total
for the month $44,701 1884 and for
the fiscal year $702,822,726.
For the same number of days
in March last year income tax
payments amounted to $58,124,904
and for the fiscal year $685.
555,929.
The receipts this year are not
strictly comparable to those re-
ceived on the first day last year.
The drop, however, has been so
sharp that officials do not expect
total collections for March will
amount to more than $4,000, 900.

GOVERNOR OF OHIO
URGES REFERENDUM
ON DRY AMENDMENT
Majority Of States G. o. p
Delegation Will Be Known
to Be Moist

Cleveland, March l7.-(R Two
surprising anti-prohibition develop
ments In Ohio, with possibly far
reaching reverberatiors, entered the
forefront Of national politics Thurs
day.
In Cleveland, Maurice Maschke,
national Republican committeeman.
disclosed that for the first time since
prohibition q majority Of Ohio's del
egation to the Republican national
convention will be known to be wet.
At Columbus, the Democratic gov
ernor. George White, listed by the
Anti Saloon League as friend OF
prohibition when elected two years
ago. was on record Thursday as fav-
oring q referendum on the 18th
amendment.
Speaks Before w. G. T. U.
Gov White, the states "favorite
son. for the Democratic presidential
nomination, made his referendum de-
claration for the first time, at a re-
gional conference of the Women's
Christian Temperance. Union at
Columbus Wednesday night.
Asserting his belief that prohibi-
ticn supporters had erred In oppos-
ing popular vote. the governor
startled the dry assemblage with the
statement he favored resubmission II
for no other reason than to refute
claims the liquor laws were forced
through during the World war when
thousands of citizens were overseas.
Semi-suppressed mays" greeted the
remarks of the gray-haired chief
executive who started his career as
q gold-digger in the Klondike, but he
continued: 1T is the right OF my
record to at least make these sug-
gestions for your careful considera-
ton"
Making . Mistake
Declaring that the w. G. T. U.
and the Anti-Saloon League were
making a mistake" In their battle
against referendum, the governor
told the women that prohibition had
failed to meet the expectations Of its
supporters and that the wisdom Of
continuing it should be submitted to
the people for final decision. He
predicted the nation would remain
dry unless substantial substitute
for prohibition Is offered.
The status Of Ohios delegates to
the Republican national convention,
as revealed by Maschke, was inter-
preted by several leaders Ct that par
ty as providing additional impetus
for q serious fight for q referendum
plank In the party's next platform.

Progress at the Dam
Fl. d. Carter Gives Report on Uni
versity's Water Supply Project
By II. ID. Carter

Excavation in dirt and rock,
for the University's dam on Nor
gan creek, has now progressed
far enough for the visitor to
visualize the extent of the pro-
ject as we'll as the location and
height of the finished work.
Channeling for the cutoff key
at the bottom of the dam is being
rapidly pushed forward by two
sets of channeling machines,
with drills operated by COM
pressed air from two Ingersoll-
Rand electrically-driven COM
pressors. This air is cooled by
circulating water in the cylinder
Jackets of the compressors, but
it has to be warmed, before be-
ing used in the rock drills, to
prevent the entrained moisture
from freezing up the drill cylin-
ders.
A trestle 30 to as feet high,
for the railway on which run the
concrete conveying cars, is under
construction from the concrete
mixer along the upstream face
of the dam; the posts supporting
it are made from the trunks of
trees taken from land cleared for
the water f1owage.
fhe concrete mixer rs CUnI=
pleted and ready to be operated.
Nearby are a pile of 5000 cubic
yards of crushed stone and an
other pile Of 1000 cubic yards of
sand.
The pouring of the concrete
will begin as soon as the exca-
walton is far enough advanced.
The land-clearing gangs are
now burning brush from the
felled trees, shrubs, vines, and
weeds on the reservoir site.

LOAN FUNDS FOR
STUDENTS WOULD
HELP UNIVERSITY
To Increase Them Would Be to
Go Far Toward Solving
The Budget Problem
GOOD RECORD OF SAFETY

The University's financial
troubles can be greatly relieved
by An increase in the student
loan funds, and vigorous effort
is being made to achieve in that
way a partial solution of the
budget problem.
All the money lent to students
comes straight into the Univer-
Slty treasury in the form of tu-
ition fees, dormitory room rents,
and board. What this means is
made plain by the fact that the
decrease in revenue is due IN
large part to the decrease in re-
celpts from students. OF the
total estimated decrease for the
year, about $4,000 is chargeable
to the falling off in receipts from
fees, room rents, and board.
Scores of students are on the
verge of forced departure, but
are hanging on in the hope of
help in the form of loans.
If any alumnus, or any other
friend of the University, wants
to help it out of its difficulties,
he can do it by contributing to
the loan funds.
How safe are student loans
as an endowment or invest
ment?" is a question frequently
asked.
The actual record is the best
answer.
|. The oldest fund here, the
Deems Fund, started as a gift of
$10,700 in 1881. After SO years
of loans at 60 compounded an
nually, the fund now stands ut
$66, 1896, without accrued and
uncollected interest.

Mrs. Logan Buys a Shed
Takes Part of Filling Station to
Use as Tea House in Garden

When Mrs. George B. Logan
was out in Carrooro one day last
week she came upon a sign:
This filling station for sale"
The forward section of the
station was a shed with a pretty
green roof. She decided on the
instant that she wanted it for Il
tea house in the garden. Nego-
tiations followed, and in less
than three minutes she had
bought the shed for SIS.
Luther Edwards was engaged
to haul it, and with the help of
nine struggling, sweating ne
groes, exchanging shouts with
one another, it was placed upon
a trailer hitched to Luther's Ford
truck. 1t made an enormous
load, and a queer one, and the
populace stared at it in wonder
as it moved through the streets.
1t couldn't be taken through
the yard of the Logan home, be-
cause of the shrubs and flowers;
so, section of the back fence
was removed, and Luther and his
horde brought the shed along the
Paulsen private driveway and
passed it into the northwest cor
ner of the garden.
Tom Booth Topped off the
posts, to bring the shed a little
lower, and completed the install
lation.

Chapel Hills great musical
event of the season is only five
days off. Amelita Galli-Curci
will sing at $3.50 next Wednes
day evening, January 27, in Me
mortal Hall.
This is to be one of her two
appearances in North Carolina

is at Eastern Carolina Teachers
College in Greenville.
Governor and Mrs. Gard
ner will come up from Raleigh,
and in the audience will be many
more visitors. The fame Of the
Milanese soprano has brought in
orders for seats from Durham,
Raleigh, Greensboro, DaMill2,
and other communities in this
part of the country.
Madame Galli-Curci's husband
will be her accompanist.
Harold S. Dyer, head of the
University music department,
says that in view of the appli-
cations from out of town, Chap
ell Hill people who want seats
had better make their reserva-
tiOns at once.

No Fire Protection

People who live outside of the
corporate limits of Chapel Hill
cannot expect help from the
town fire department.
The Kenfeld house burned
down, two or three years ago,
while the firemen, with the
truck, stayed at the municipal
boundary line few hundred
yards away. The same thing
may happen again.
After the Kenfeld calamity it
was proposed that suburbanites
pay for some fire equipment.
Conferences have been held, ap-
pointed by the aldermen, but no
action has resulted.
The insurance rate in Chapel
Hill depends upon the keeping
of the fire-fghting equipment
within the town, and the alder
men have now ruled that it can't
be taken outside. If the suburb
antics want protection they had
better get busy.

Big Return on Seeds
Lacy Ransom Tells of Woman Who
Turned $40 into Sl30

Lacy Ransom tells me of a WO-
man of his acquaintance, Mrs.
ID. S. Lyles Of Red Springs, who
bought a pound of seeds last
February for $40, planted them,
got 13 pounds of seeds from the
crop, and sold the l3 pounds for
$3.50. The plant is the legume
known as Lespedeza sericea. 1t
produces an abundant forage
crop on acid soil without the use
of lime or any fertilizer.
An agronomist in the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Wash
ington found near the Potomac
a little plant that looked some
thing like a weed and something
like clover. He took seeds from
it and planted them on test
plot. That was several years
ago..
John Paul Lucas, who lives in
Mecklenburg county near the
Ransons' place, used his farm
for experimental purposes. The
lespedeza came to seed in one
year for him.
Mrs. Lyles bought her one
pound of seed from Mr.. Lucas
and planted them on one fifth of
an acre. So she made a profit
at the rate of $500 an acre in
about 10 months.

Dick Battle in Greece
Leaves Smyrna and Finds Job at
Port on the Aegean Sea

Dick Battle, who lived in
Smyrna, Turkey, for two or
three years after he went
abroad, is now in Greece.
The American corporation
with which he was formerly
connected closed it's Smyrna

wouldn't come back to America

TOWN CAPTURES
DOGS AND PUTS
'EM IN A POUND
Rev. A. S. Lawrence First Citi-
zen to Have to Come and
Buy His Dog Out
TEN CAPTIVES THUS FAR

The Chapel Hill government
is taking up stray dogs. 1t puts
'em in a pound, and the owners
have to pay a dollar apiece to
get 'em out.
Rev. Alfred S. Lawrence was
the first owner who had to re-
deem his pet. A policeman car
ried Buck to the pound, which is
an old garage building to the
rear of the Town Hall, and then
somebody tried to reach Mr.
Lawrence on the telephone. But
the caller, whoever he was. rang
the parish house instead of the
rectory, and Buck stayed in the
pound overnight. The Law
rences We're all upset, for fear
he was lost. Next morning the
message came through. Mr.
Lawrence went uptown, forked
up a dollar, and returned home
with Buck.
The strict dog ordinance en-
acted by the aldermen is the re-
suit of two children's having
been bitten and scratched and
Of numerous complaints about
strays. Alan Garrett was
scratched by a strange dog, and
Grady Pritchard's son, Billy,
has been bitten twice (the last
time, however, not by a stray
but by a neighbor's Spitz).
Ten dogs have been taken in
by the police since the ordinance
was enacted. Eight have been
recovered by their owners. One,
unclaimed, was killed at the ex-
piration of the Today limit,
and there is one whose period
of detention runs out today.
The fine imposed upon per
son who comes for his dog is 81
for the first day in the pound
and 25 cents for every day there
after.
