PAUL GREEN IS
ON MOVIE JOB
In HOLLYWOOD
Arrives on West Coast March |,
Having Finished Novel
While in Arizona
HAS PLAY IN REHEARSAL

Paul Green is now in Holly
wood. He arrived there last
Friday. Before many months
now, Chapel Hill movie-goers
may be privileged to view mo-
ton picture produced from the
script of one of the villages own
writer's.
One night last week, Mrs.
Green went to answer the phone
in her home in the Glen. Mr..
Green's voice came clearly over
the wire from Tucson. where he
had stopped on his way to the
coast to lecture at the Uniyer-
sity of Arizona. After leaving
the University of Iowa, where
he and Prof. Koch had lectured
to the National Dramatic Con-
ference, Mr.. Green was persuad-
ed by Hubert Hetfner, who had
formerly taught at Tucson. to
visit Arizona and to give one
lecture there.
While in that state. Mr.. Green
completed his first novel, The
Laughihg Pioneer, and dispatclr>>
ed the copy to his publishers in
New York. He also found time
to drop down into Mexico for
short visit
Having begun his job with
Warner Brothers March /, it is
Mr.. Greens 5 plan to write two
stories for screen production be-
fore returning home in the sum-
mer. There is a possibility tina:
THE House of Connelly', which
has just closed tour of Wash
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Boston, may be made into
motion picture, if its author and
the Group Theatre receive sat
isfactory offer for the film
rights.
Meanwhile, news has come to
Mrs. Green, through the New
York Times, that another one of
her husbands plays, "Potter's
Field, is soon to go on the
boards in New York, under the
direction of Walter Hart. She
has written Mr.. Green this in
formation.
SO, it appears that "Mr. Paul,
champion cotton-picker," will
have a novel in print, play on
Broadway and a movie in the
process of production, all at the
same time, this spring-D.

Lawrence and PrOuty Lead Campaign
For Chemical Equipment

George Lawrence and W. f.
Prouty have taken the leadership
in a movement to secure ade-
quate fire protection for those
people living outside the city
limits. Due to insurance regu
lations the town fire department
may not take the truck outside
the corporate limits.
An agreement has been reach
ed with town officials that. if
the individual property owners
will provide equipment, the town
will maintain and operate it.
Since the town water mains
do not go beyond the city limits
it will be necessary to furnish
chemical apparatus Messrs.
Lawrence and Prouty have in
veStigated the cost Of SUCH
equipment and state that it may
be purchased for between elev-
en- and twelve hundred dollars.
1t is possible that the new APP
paratus will be attached to the
front of the present truck, and,
if this is done, the tiremen will
be allowed to use it for small
fires within the limits.-H

BONEY CONSIDERS
AUTO INSURANCE
RATES TOO HIGH
{ commissioner Thinks Increase
Is Greater Than Justified
by the Risk Involved
TWO BOOSTS SINCE JUNE

Having heard several citizens
ci Chapel Hill complaining Of
the increase in the rates on auto
mobile liability insurance, the
editor of this newspaper wrote
to Dan c. Boney, state insurance
commissioner, and asked him for
information on the subject.
In his letter Of reply Mr..
BGney says that rates showing
an increase of approximately As
per cent were filed with his de-
,partment last June by the Ma
ti0nal Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters; that he
found that an increase Of 80 per
was justified, and he recon-
nlended that that the companies
djd not accept his recommends
ton for reduction of the in
crease to 30 per cent; and that
on February lst of this year
they filed another increase Of
from 20 to 25 per cent.
This increase was filed on
the basis Of the experience for
the same period reviewed and
upon which the June increase
was based,' writes Mr.. Boney.
and, as the facts did not quite
Justify the increase levied in
June, there can be no justltlca-
tion for the increase levied on
+ ebruary lst."
Mr. Boney's letter is as fol-

 So refined has the art become, indeed, that the company, for &C., curacy's sake. has listed human oscuIations thus:

THRIFTY NATURE
 AIDED SCIENCE

Chicago, (UP)-A thrifty nature. that made him dislike to throw away a hog intestine that had only been party used. was one of the chief factors in the discovery of new culture medium by Dr Arthur l.. Kendall, professor of re- search bacteriology in the North western university medical school. which makes invisible microbes as- sume state in which they are wis., ible and can be studied.
 It offers new approach to the study of diseases like smallpox. influenza, arthritis, the common cold, and others.
 This medium," he said. twas made from hog intestine that had been extracted with alcohol and then dried. You may wonder just why we chose hog intestine. Tho reason is simple. These extracted hog intestines were first used for another purpose. There is q re- marka ble substance in the man. malian intestine that has the pe- culiar property of causing smooth muscle to contract vigorously.
 We were studying this sub- stance, and the extracted intes- tine, after it's removal, was sheer waste. When we wanted some pro- tein for our culture media. we de- cided that this intestine which is somewhat similar to that of man. would be most convenient to em- ploy for our first experiments. Strangely enough, hog intestine, of nIl the kinds that we have tried. seems to wrok much better than the intestines of dogs. cats. raS- bits, or human beings. To this cx- tent 1t seems rather providential that we Ahappencd to be working previously with hog intestine"
