CIVIL SERVICE
TESTS WILL BE
CONDUCTED HERE

FL Centre is to be made point
of examination for applicants for
the civil service. according to
communication received today from
John T. Doyle, secretary of the
United States civil service COM
mission, by Robert Hays, secretary
of the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce.
The matter of designating point
in Imperial Valley as a place of ex-
animation for the federal civil
service was firsl taken up by Leo
Watts, secretary of the Calexico
Chamber of Commerce, and, when
it was learned that the commission
had already considered SO designat-
ing Ell Centro, Watts turned the in
formation over to Hays, who has
since followed out the matter, urg-
ing that FL Centro be so designated.
Today's letter from Doyle states
that the commission has definitely
decided to make Ell Centro an eX-
animation point and as soon as the
commission has its list of examina-
ton points reprinted e. Centro will
be added to the list.
The inclusion of El Centro in the
list of examination points will be
a great convenience to those TAX
ing the civil service examinations.
1t has been necessary in the past to
report at various points for such
examinations. Some were given at
Yuma, some in Los Angeles and in
other points in the southwest, while
few have been given in Ell Centro.
According to the new order of the
civil service commission, all federal
civil service examinations in the
future will be held in Ell Centro.
This, it is pointed out, does not
make any change in the point of
examination for state or county
civil service applicants, but applies
only to the federal civil service

SALVATION ARMY
ASKS PUBLIC TO
ASSIST CAMPAIGN

"A man may be down bur he's
never out" says Captain j. w.
Myall of the Salvation Army, in an
nouncing the campaign for funds
which got under way in this city
today
What will happen if sufficient
funds are not forthcoming?" he
was asked. His answer was anoth-
er question, What will a desperate
person not do?" The inference was
that men desperate from hunger
and lack of work will do almost
anything. and the community in
the end must suffer.
1T money does not come in suf-
ficient quantity, our work will ne
cessarily have to be curtailed," the
captain said Families will be
without food, men and women will
be driven to desperation because
of lack of the necessities of life. -
The Army has done a great deal
this year to meet the emergency
created by the financial depression
and is recognized as one of the
leading organizations doing social
welfare work.
During the meeting of the advis-
ory board of the Army. held yes
terday, Captain Myall presented a
list of the Army's work in Ell Cen
tro during the past year.
Relief work among families who
are residents showed an increase Of
nearly 300 per cent.
The statistics showed that the
transient man has been well cared
for They have been kept from
begging on the streets and at the
back doors of residences.
Frank Weir, chairman of the ad-
visory board, stated that this work
must go on and urges every citizen
to do his part and assist the drive
that will be conducted for the next
week.
Checks can be mailed to Fred
Gianola, at the Bank of America,
treasurer of the advisory board, or
to solicitors who are aiding the
cause.
Ensign Phil Iawton OF San Ber-
nardino and Adjutant Ballington
Rogers OF Pasadena, have volun-
teered their services without cost
to the local Army To help in the
campaign.

Mrs. KluttZ Receives
Gives Cordial Welcome to Tanner a
3 O'clock in the Morning

Kenneth Tanner, University
alumnus, of Rutherfordton, was
in the village recently.
He doesn't get to Chapel Hill
often; and when he comes his
visit is so short that he finds. It
difficult to get around to see all
his friends.
He exceeded. his allotment of
time at the Mebane home, and
when he arose to go it was three
o'clock in the morning.
Three o'clock he exclaimed
And | haven't seen Mrs.
kluttz -
Somebody suggested that ii
perhaps was a bit late to make
the call.
"Fiddlesticks," he remarked
or some word to the same effect
I've got to leave early in the
morning, and I'm not going tC
leave without seeing Mrs
Kluttz."
He crossed the street and
knocked at the Kluttz door. Al
about the sixth knock voice
with a note of annoyance in It,
was heard from the depths of the
house. "It's Kenneth Tanner
Mrs. Kluttz," called the visitor
"Oh!" The note Of annoyance
was gone from the voice. "Just
wait minute. I'll be right out. y
Presently Mrs. Kluttz appear
ed, wearing a purple dressing
gown, bedroom slippers, a straw
hat, and a cordial smile. She es
corted Mr.. Tanner into the liv-
ing room and turned on the
lights, and they had nice long
chat.

NEGRO KILLED BY
A CAVErN AT PIT
ON DURHAM ROAD
And George Davis, Foreman of
Gang Loading Truck, Is
Severely Injured
RESPONSIBILITY IN DOUBT

A cave-in at the gravel pit,
down the hill on the Durham
road about half mile from the
eastern limits of Chapel Hill,
killed 17-year-old Negro, Guy
Snipes, yesterday morning, and
severely injured George Davis,
the towns street repair foreman.
Both were taken to Duke hos
pital. Snipes died soon after ar
irving there. Davis was report
ed last night to be improving.
Davis was in charge of gang
'of men engaged in loading a
truck with gravel to be spread
on the streets. A cavity had been
formed in the bank, and the
overhanging shelf of earth, with
some stone mixed in, fell upon
him and Snipes. They were
quickly pulled out from under
the mass Of earth and stone by
the other men.
The accident raises a puzzling
question of responsibility.
Snipes was one of the men
paid out of the emergency relief
fund allotted by the federal
government to Orange county.
He was assigned to the town and
received payment for his work
in food and clothing issued by
the county welfare officer.
Il do not believe the town
government can be. held legally
responsible for Snipes's DEATH"
said Bonner Sawyer, the NUM-
cipal attorney, last night, "since
he was not d member of the
town force and was not ON the
towns payroll. "
George II. Lawrence, county
welfare officer, who is charged
with administering the relief
fund, is in the dark as to what
organization or agency, if any,

death.

The crowd that came to the

Druggists and other dispens-

Wake county have petitioned the
county board of health for per-
mission to use glasses instead OF
paper cups.
Here is a movement for the
success of which we utter fer
vent prayer. To be forced to
drink a coca cola or other bever-
age out of paper is an abomina-
tion. When you are "roughing

a picnic, it is not so bad; then it

Governor Gardner spoke in
New York Monday before the
National Conference on the Re-
latiOn Of Law and Business. His
topic was "The North Carolina
Plan"
He recited some interesting
facts about recent legislation
and executive policies in this
state, and most of his state
ments are not to be disputed.
But one of them, we think, will
gain more credence from people
in New York and other distant
places than from people who
have a closeup view of North

Relieving the Farmer

The most competent students
of the agricultural situation
agree that the financial troubles
of the farmers are due mainly
not to taxes but to the collapse
of the market for their products.
To try to solve their problem by
freeing them from a small levy
for the support of the schools is
like trying to cure a major ILL
ness with a lotion or a poultice.
The fall in the prices of farm
products has so reduced the in
come of many farmers that they
cannot pay the interest on their
mortgages, and some of them are
hard pressed to supply their
families with the necessities of
life. When man is taking in,
say, not more than two hundred
dollars year, any sum OF mon
ey, no matter how small it may
have seemed in more prosperous
times, becomes large to him. Ma

ANNUAL MEETING
OF ALUMNI WILL
BE HELD TONIGHT
Supper at $50; Then a Brief
Business Meeting; Then
Talk by Frank Graham
NOMINATION OF OFFICERS

The annual assembly of the
University alumni will be held
this (Friday) evening. In the
Graham Memorial building. 1t
will begin with a supper at $50.
When the meal is over, there
will be a brief business meeting,
with Kemp P. Lewis, president
of the Alumni Association, as
chairman. The executive secre-
tary and the treasurer will sub
init their reports, both of which
will be in printed form. Other
business on the schedule is the
nomination Of candidates for
alumni offices.
The officers to be elected are
the president, two vice-presi-
dents, and one of the three
alumni members of the Univer-
sity Athletic Council. The presl-
dent and the vice-presidents are
elected for a term of one year,
the Athletic Council member for
three years.
Two directors-at-large, to sue
ceed Grady Rankin and Tyre
Taylor, are also to be elected.
The nominating committee,
composed of Luther II. Hodges,
Henry M. London, and Francis
O. Clarkson, will present slate,
and nominations may also be
made from the floor. Ballots
will be sent-by mail to the men,
bers of the association before
the end of the year.
President Graham will ad-
dress the assembly. His talk
will be about the situation OF the
University as it prepares to go
before the legislature with its
request for maintenance funds
for the next biennium.
1t was last years assembly
that launched the appeal for
alumni support for the partlcl-
patton in building up the stu
dents emergency loan fund.
Groups were organized in 30
communities to support the
movement, and it was largely
due to aid from alumni that sew
eral hundred students, who were
threatened with having to leave,
were enabled to remain in the
University.

The University Here Needs No Vice-President

The proposal to put in a vica-
president in Chapel Hill springs
from the attachment of undue
Importance to a paper scheme of
organization. On the face,
there seems to be a certain logic,
where there is an institution
with three branches, in having
head for the whole and a SUBJ
head for each of the branches. It
makes a symmetrical chart on a
sheet. But it were better that
the trustees organize the con-
solidated University on a basis
of commonsense-and it may be
said, too, ecOnomy-rather than
to preserve a superficial SYM
metry.
If we were a governmental or
educational bigwig, or if we were
Off as intimate terms with poly
syllables as are Archibald Hen
derson and DIR. MacNider, we
would find some imposing word
to describe the proposal to install
a vice-president here. Using our
own plain language, we call it
