he stands ahead of Francis d.

AS a result Of conference between
representatives Of the town govern
ment and a group Of citizens who
dwell on the fringes Of the village be-
yond the corporate limits, plan for
fire protection in these suburban areas
has been formulated.
1t involves the purchase Of chemical
hre-fghting equipment, and the sue
cess of it depends upon the willingness
Of the suburbanites to put up the
money needed for the purchase.
A circular letter is being sent to
them by George Lawrence as means
Of finding out whether or not they will
finance the plan.
1t is proposed that they buy--at a
total cost of 81 ,70O--a Ford or Chev-

When they reached the door,
a nurse with gauZe- covering her

informed whom they wanted to

and fetched a bundle IN the midst

The nurse closed the door and
left a big plate glass pane be-

Thus the callers might gaze at
AIMS face, but they could not
chuck her under the chin or put
a finger in her fist. That was
contrary to the approved modern
ideas of sanitation.
But Ann is back at home now,

these things are purchased, the town
fire department will keep them in the

UNIVERSITY FLEET
OF THREE BOATS
EXPECTED TODAY
To Be Taken Out and Launched
On UniverSity's New Lake
In Morgan Creek Basin
WATER CLIMBS Up SLOPES

The University's new fleet,
consisting Of one motor boat and
two rOWboats, is expected to ar
rive in Chapel Hill today The
vessels, which come from around
Beaufort, will be taken at once to
the lake in process of creation
behind the recently constructed
dam on Morgan creek two miles
west Of the village.
The boats were purchased at
a low price because in these days
the supply Of boats, as Of pretty
nearly everything else, is far
greater than the demand. The
UniVersity's purchasing agent
found bOat-oWners clamoring TO
sell.
At first the three boats will
simply be hitched to stakes and
pushed out into the water. Later
on a. little wharf will be built,
but Of course this cannot be done
until the water has climbed up
the slopes to the level Of the spill
way if a wharf were built now,
where the boats could be hoated,
it would soon be submerged.

A Display of Old Arms

Steve Lynch Of Asheville, a member
Of the class just graduated from the
University, has given to Graham Me
mortal some curlosities that he picked
up on trip to the East. They are on
display in the lounge.
OF primary interest are five sets of
duelling pistols bought in the Thieves
Market in Stamboul, the Turkish quar-
ter Of Constantinople. These are long,
cumbersome objects that come in
pairs. They are all richly ornament
ed Ivory and mother-of- pearl inlay,
bright paint decoration, and hand
carving combine to make them look
more like playthings than weapons.
They were found in towns about the
Bosphorus. Some came from Arabia,
others from Hindustan, and the rest
from Turkey. OF the old fiintlock
type, they date between 100 and 1850.
There is also a pair Of blue steel
Damascus duelling knives. These
were to be used with the guns, pre-
sumably if neither of the antagonists
could manage to shoot the other. On
exhibition with the duelling knives is
a silver dagger with wickedly curved
blade, and another dagger Of Damas-
Gus steel.
Seven ceremonial candles from a
Chinese temple and a dancing costume
of rich blue silk round out the col

II the trustees accept the rec
OmmendatiOn of the commission
which was authorized by law to
plan the organization, the chief
executive of North Carolina 5
new consolidated University will
be the Chancellor; and each of
the three unitS-the University
here, the College for Women in
Greensboro, land the College of
Agriculture and Engineering in
Raleigh-Will continue to have
its own President.
Who will the Chancellor be? =
That is the question that peo-
pie all over North Carolina are
asking; and Of course the inter
est in it is particularly keen here
in Chapel Hill. VIII Frank Gra-
nam be moved up to the Chan
eelIorship, leaving the presi-
dency Of the University here TO
be filled by another man? Or
Will somebody not now connected
with either of the three units be
chosen as Chancellor?
e. If he is to be an outsider, will
he be taken from the ranks of
educators, or Will he be some
man who has been prominent in
public life?
There has not yet been time
enough for opinion to become
crystalized, The public is in
rather daze about the whole
affair The suggeaf0n>(s heard
now and thep~rkat G. bvernor
Gardner maybe (oMidered for
the place; and JosepbAS Daniels
is mentioned. But thus far all
suggestions and speculations are
nothing more than gossip.
Anyway, the hancellor is not
apt to be chosen for another
year. The recommendation is
that he go into office "if possible
not later than July /, 1893.
one Of the perpleXlng prob
lens faced by the commission
concerned the name Of the new
consolidated institution. If it
were called simply the UniVer-
sity Of North Carolina, what
then would the present Uniyer-
sity be called? Would the name
it had been bearing proudly for
139 years have to give place to
some such colorless designation
as "Section No. /" or "Chapel
Hill Branch ?"
Somehow that did not seem
quite right, and the commission
decided that the institution in
Chapel Hill should remain the

Who Will Be the Chancellor?

University of North Carolina.
This led 20 the decision to use the
name, University System, for the
consolidation. SO the three units
are to be called the University
# North Carolina, the North
Carolina College for Women of
the University System, and the
College of Agriculture and En-
gjneering of the University Sys-
tenn. And the executive head
will be called the Chancellor of
the University System.
Maybe this is not strictly ac-
cording to the law, which makes
Of all three a single University
Of North Carolina; but no doubt
that difficulty can be settled by
the legislature ratifying the
nomenclature suggested by the
commission
Other recommendations of the
commission which viii be laid
before the new consolidated
board of trustees, for approval
or rejection Of modification, at
the boards initial meeting next
month, are:
The board Of trustees to have
an executive committee of eight
members, with the Governor
added as chairman er OHci0.
Fhe consolidated University is
to have an administrative coun-
Gil whose members are to be
chosen for year at time. One
member to be chosen by the fac
ulty Of each Of three units the
executive head Of each unit to be
a member; nine members to be
appointed by the chief executive
of the consolidated [ University.
The consolidated University to
have only single Summer
School, a single director of eX-
tension, and a single director of
graduate studies and research.
All schools of education to be
changed to departments of edu-
cation (Which means that here
in Chapel Hill education will be
come d part Of the college of lib
eral arts).
The training of elementary
school teachers to be centered in
the College for Women in
Greensboro and the training for
librarians to be centered in
Chapel Hill.
The school of business at State
College to be discontinued after
the end Of the 1928 college
year.

In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson s. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, March 4.-Although
the market received little help
from the news, its action, nonethe-
less. reflected a cheerful attitude.
While price changes were small
and no particular trend indicated,
stocks maintained good under
tone. 1t was a market as one
would expect under the circum-
stances.
Influences currently affecting the
course of the market are mainly
based upon hope. To tabulate the
reasons for this hope we would
have to enumerate all the. events
of recent weeks, associated with the
general program of reconstruction,
both here and abroad.
These you are already sufficient
~ familiar with. Any one even
slightly in touch with affairs knows
that the old world has had ter
rible shock. 1t has necessitated re-
adjustments that few foresaw a
short three years ago.
For some time now we have been
looking the facts Squarely IN the
face and appraiSing our position.
Perhaps we have had a narrow
escape from conditions even worse
than experienced. Nonetheless,
many of our fears never mate
rialized. Each day it seems is put
ting those fears DEEPER in the back
ground.
We have got hold of ourselves. We
are thinking clearer. We are mani
Testing more confidence in our
selves and the economic scheme of
things. The old world, we believe,
is trying to get up from the sick
bed.
There are ahead of course, many
days of nursing and convalescing
and even Setbacks, before we can
expect the patient to resume normal
strides of activity. All the while.
however, he is getting better.

GRAIN FUTURES
SELL DOWN ON
LOWER CABLES
Corn, Oats Follow Wheat
in Decline; Trade Is
Light.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, March 4.-Drifting
lazily back and fourth, wheat
closed about steady on the Board
of Trade today. Scattered selling
caused an early decline that was
later recovered. The firmness in
stocks and rye were supporting
factors.
Routine news had little effect and
traders preferred to sit on the side
lines. Corn was dull but firm most
OF the session. Oats was unsettled
with the major grains, but held
around steady. Rye showed unex-
pected strength on prospects of eX-
port business.
Close Is Uneven
At the close wheat was 4 cent
lower to a cent higher; corn was
Is cent lower to Il cent higher, and
oats unchanged to 4 cent lower.
Rye was Is cent higher. Provisions
were dull and easier.
Failing to recover during the aft
ernoon, Liverpool closed % to q
cent lower. The cold wave was not
regarded seriously, as it was ac-
companied by snow in many locali-
ties. Cash prices were unchanged
to z cent lower. Receipts were 46
cars.
Corn Trade Dull
Corn was dull and held around
y cent lower to Is cent higher at
mid-seSsion. March showed resist
ance with the continued light Offer
ings from the country and a fair
shipping demand, compared with
recent business, aiding the market.
The tone in corn was relatively
frmer than wheat. Receipts were
light owing to Thursdays unfa-
vorable weather. Cash prices were
unchanged. Receipts were 98 cars.
Oats was unchanged to a cent
lower at Woodworking. The market
moved in unison with the major
grains, but was very dull. Cash
prices we're unchanged to Y cent
lower. Receipts we're II cars.

BY ELMER G. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, March 4.-Stock
prices were unsettled today after
the General Electric Co. reduced
their common dividend from S1.6O
to 81 annually. Heavy selling spread
throughout the list.
Because the reduction was more
drastic than was generally ex-
pected, many traders unloaded
stocks. Moderate early gains quick
ly we're erased and small losses sub
stituted. The effect of the divi-
dend cut soon wore off, however,
and leading stocks again began to
climb up toward the close.
According to preliminary calcula-
ton, the Dow, Jones 81 Co. in
dustrial average stood at 8611, off
0.02 points, rail average at 1925,
of 020 points and the utility av-
erage at 34.98, up 0.13 points.
Sales totaled 100000 shares,
compared with 100000 shares
Thursday.
The market as whole had dis
played a confident tone in the first
four hours of trading, but turned
decidedly cratic in the final hour.
Volume Shows Decline
Many stocks ignored the unset
Element in the general market.
Montgomery Ward, New York trac-
ton issues, the coppers and indi-
vidual issues such as Consolidated
Gas and Lambert moved ahead
sharply.
Volume showed a decline from the
previous session, sales approximate
ing 100000 shares to 2:10 p. M,
against 100000 shares in the cor
responding period of the preceding
session.
General Electric was the princi-
pal weak spot, breaking from an
early high of 221s to 20. United
States steel fell from 49A to 48as
and then recovered to near it's pre-
Wous close of 49A. Similar move
ments occurred in other market
leaders such as American Can, AL
lied Chemical, Westinghouse Elec-
trio and General Motors.
Overnight news was considered
favorable in the trading community,
particularly as applied to the
banking situation.
New Highs Made
The controller of currency re-
ported only one national bank fail
ure since Feb. II, while the federal
reserve weekly condition statement
showed federal reserve banks pur-
suing their easy money policy.
Money in circulation declined
100000 at a time when month
end settlements ordinarily bring an
increase. This was taken to indicate
further reduction in the boarding
movement and was considered
highly favorable in that it repre-
sented return of confidence on
the part of the great mass of peo-
pie.
Most Of the good news was avail
able before the opening of the mar
ket, but it had little effect in gen.
Grating buying enthusiasm. The
market opened irregular with the
leaders showing small losses. The
list recovered and before noon the
majority registered moderate gains,
a stable group making new highs
for the year.
