The re'ail cost of the serums

these serums is a highly technical

DR.. Hamilton Is
New Director of
N. {. Laboratory
Succeeds Late DIR. Shore
in Hygienic Work for
This State

RALEIGH, May 24.-Dr. John
II. Hamilton has been named as
the new director of the State
Laboratory of Hygiene to sue
coed the late DR.. Clarence A.
Shore, it was announced ycster-
day by DR.. James NJ. Parrot,
executive secretary Of the State
Board of Health. DR.. Hamilton
has been associated with tn"
State board Of health for the past
two years and lately has been
holding the triple pos Of director
OF county health, the division of
vital statistics and the division Of
epidemiology. AS the director Of
the state laboratory of hygiene
DR.. Hamilton will also continue
as director of the division of vi
tai statistics. His salary for both
positions will be $4,000 a year,
less the 25 per cent reduction re-
Gently put into effect by the gov
crnor and budget bureau. The
salary of DR.. Shore as director Of
the laboratory alone was $500
a year.
Through the co-operation of
the United States Public Health
Service and the Rockefeller
Foundation. the board of health
will save between $500 and &c.
600 a wear on the cost Of main
tanning the county health division
and the division of epidemlology,
DR.. Parrot pointed out. DR.. M.
V. Ziegler, who has been loaned
to the board of health for more
than a year by the United States
Public Health Service. will con-
tinuc with the board and serve as
director of county health work
without additional compensation.
The post of state cpidcmiologist
will be filled by DR.. D. f. Milan,
Of the Rockefeller Foundation,
who has also been loaned to the
board Of health for an indefinite
period. Thus the state is relieved
of almost all expense in cOnnec-
ton with the maintenance of
these two important activities,
DIR. Parrot pointed out.
DR.. Hamilton is recognized
hority on public health
throughout the United States, as
well as an expert in laboratory
procedure. He is a graduate of
the Harvard University Medical
school and has been in active
public health work for more than
10 years. Soon after finishing
his medical work at Harvard, DR..
Hamilton taught laboratory tech
rique and epidemiology in a med
ical school in New York state.
Later he joined the staff of the
Rockefeller Foundation and be-
came a director of It's laboratory
work. In order to get into closer
contact with public. health work
in the field, DR.. Hamilton accept

governor or written him in his
behalf, although they have done
so on their own initiative. This
has also worried the Jeffress
hackers.
When the story appeared in
The, Greensboro News of Mon
day, indicating that Pou was
putting on tremendous cam
paign for the appointment as
head of the new highway-prison
set up, his friends became thor
oughly aroused, since it did not
represent the real situation. A
check up from sources close to
the governor disclosed that up to
Monday, Jeffress had received
far more Endorsements than Pou.
1t also showed that for the past
two days. friends of Pou have
been getting busy on their own
initiative and have been keeping
the telephone and telegraph wires
hot in his behalf.
Among the Pou boosters, the
belief is held that the various
moves of the past few days to
make it appear that Pou has been
very busy in his own behalf and
Jeffress doing nothing, have been
made by the Jeffress forces in
an effort to embarrass both Pou
and the governor. The Jeffress
hackers maintain they have been
doing nothing and that Pou
really is bringing all thcp ressurc
to bear he can in his own behalf.
But the facts hardly bear this
out. There was a meeting of the
various district engineers here
last Saturday, at which plans
were laid for the opening of a
statewide campaign of endorse
ments for Jeffress, to begin yes
terday. These endorsements start
ed rolling into the governors Of
flee on schedule Monday morn
ing. So far, the endorsements
for Pou are far behind. But
his friends are not discouraged.
They NAV open up vet.

BATTLE WARNS
over HIGHWAY,
PRISON CHIEF
Friends of Jeffress and
Pou Urging Them for
New Position
Ey J. c. BASKERVILLE
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, May 24.-The bat
tie over the appointment of the
new chairman of the new state
highway and public works COM
mission is Cw in full swing, with
the friends Of f. B. Jeffress, the
present chairman of the state
highway commission, and of
George Ross Pou, present super
intendent of the state prison,
pouring in their endorsements up
on Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus,
urging each for the new post.
Until the last few days there
has not been much talk about
this appointment here and the
supposition has been growing that
JeffreSs was likely to be reap
pointed as head of the new con-
solidated highway-prison commits
sion. George Ross Pou has been
unusually quiet for several
months and many of his friends
have insisted that he did not
want the job as head of the new
commission and would not accept
it, even if it should be offered
to him. 1t has further been
known that while many of his
friends have wanted to go to the
governor and urge his appoint
ment as chairman Of it. that he
has urged his friends rot to do
so. So it seemed to many OBJ
servers here that Jeffress appar-
emily had no opposition for the
post of chairman of the new
commission.
1t is no secret, of course, that
Jeffress has not been any too
ponular over the state for the
past two years, that he is very
unpopular with a certain element,
especially since the Democratic
primaries of a year ago. This
was evident during the late la
nented general assembly. when
the element in the house that had
supported former Lieutenant Gov
ernor R. 7. Fountain fer gov
ernor made it exceedingly hot
for Jeffress the first six weeks
the general assembmly was in
session. They shot at him from
every angle and some were APP
parently willing to wreck the
highway commission if by so do
ing they could get rid of JEFF
fress. 1t was only because they
believed that Jeffress would not
be reappointed as head of the
new commission that several
members of the house agreed to
vote for the bill consolidating
the highway commission and the
state prison.
Then the anti-Jeffress senti-
ment in the house cooled off for
a while and a good many began
to think that after all he might
be reappointed. During this en-
tire time, Pou has continued to
sit tight and say nothing. He is
still doing that. Those closets to
him continue to maintain that he
really does not want the appoint
ment as head of the new CONSOLE
dated commission.
But friends of Jeffress have
been worried. They have not
been able to understand why Pou
hasn't been doing anything. They
evidently decided that something
was wrong. especially since they
knew that many of Pou's friends
have been wanting to cut loose
and go to bat for. him for this
new appointment, regardless of
his wishes. 1t is true that some
of his friends have gone to the

PROFESSIONALS ARE
LEFT OFF NEW STATE
SCHOOL COMMISSION
By J. c. BASKERVILLE
The TimeS-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, May 23.-In ap-
pointing the eleven members OF
the new State School commission,
Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus UNI
doubtedly carried out the will of
the general assembly by keeping
all his appointees laymen-either
business men, lawyers, farmers or
bankers-and by refusing to name
professional school men to the
board, according to the reaction
here yesterday. He also did what
those close to him expected by
retaining six of the eleven men,
bers of the old State Board OF
Equalization. in order to have at
least half the members of the
commission who have had previ-
Gus experience in handling the
school problems of the state.
In spite of the pressure brought
to bear on Governor EhringhauS,
largely from the school forces, to
appoint a woman member of the
board, all of the eleven appoin-
tees are men. But this was ex-
pected, since the general feeling
here is that operating all the
schools in the state for eight
months on S16,OOO,OO0 a year 5
going to be a mans job. Only
one woman has ever served on
the State Board of Equalization
the late Miss Elizabeth Kelly
and she resigned voluntarily,
largely because the work was so
strenuous.
In addition to these eleven
members of the school commits
sion, there are four eX-officiO
members. namely. the governor.
acknowledgements, state treas
urer and state superintendent OF
public instruction, making Is
members in all.
The eleven members appointed
by Governor EhringhauS were Sc
lected because of their long in
terest in and familiarity with tn
operation of the public schools in
the state, he indicated in making
the announcement of their Selec-
ton. He believes they will bring
genuine interest to their new
duties and that they will be fair
and impartial in all their deci-
sions affecting the schools.
That this new school commits
sion has one of the most difficult
tasks before it of any similar
body in the entire state, is gen.
orally conceded. For upon it rests
the task of administering the new
statewide, state-supported eight
months school term on an appro-
priation of only $16,000,000 a
year-less than was appropriated
two years ago for the siX-months
school term. Under the new

that Ronald B. Wilson, who was

Very, Very Humane
 The United States Is dotted with societies for the prevention of cru city ot animals, children, vaudeville actors, retired evangelists, box fighters and tropical fish. But it has remained for Fred Liem, cmi- nent Gotham sports scribbler, to dedicate himself to a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Um- pires.
 It's not the unkind words that float across the infield from outside first base, nor even the occasional pop bottle that comes waiting down from the upper tiers that has stirred the milk of human kind ness in the estimable Lieb. It's the fact that umpires have to go through the summer wearing a blue serge coat that seems de- signed for sub-Arctic exploration, or certainly for the front porch of the country club on a September evening when the frost is on the pumpkini
 Yes, Indeed, Why?
 In other words, why should the poor baseball umpire continue to wear all summer the same blue serge layette that is considered just right for an April opening day when both teams are building a fire in the dugout out of their fa- vorite bats just to keep from freez- ing to death?
 Naturally, something had to be done to impress fans with the dig nifty of the umpire. Long ago they gave up trying to impress this on players. But 1t was thought that the neatly brushed blue serge of the umpire gave the fans some thing to chew on when htey began to shout "Robber!" and look about for handy rail on which to take the umps for a ride.
 But one of those recent hot days George Barr, umpiring at Philadel- phia, finished out a game, blue coat and all. only to fall right on his nose in the shower afterward.. Which led Lieb to believe that maybe little more comfort might well have been in order. even at tho expense of a little dignity. Tho Way Out
 By all means put the umps in white shirts and ice cream pants. If they're willing to take the risk of being better targets in order to breathe. the customers ought to love 1t. To add variety. each ump could have 8 neat device sewed on the back of that white shirt which would identify him: a set of black E glasses and a pencil for one, a burglars mask and fiash-lantern for another, a picture of Jesse James horse on another.
 If you can think of any good reason for the ball players heavy over-shirt and tho swaddling clothes he wears under 1t in Aug ust name 1t.

The 4 o'clock feature brings to- gether the Tribunes and Sacred Hearts in what will be an alI-im- portant contest for the Kerwin Harps, who are knotted with the Brooklyns for second place, though both of the teams have won as many games as the leading Watervilie combine, though los- ing one game more. The Water vile team is credited with a tie game against the Thomas club. which gives them quite an edge, small though it is, for had they lost a triple tie would be the pres ent standing. The Sacred Hearts are capable of bringing out the best baseball in the Tribune camp. which means that the Tribes will have to play "heads up" baseball every minute to win and have the chance for the pennant that they want, and, of course, the expected trip to the Pittsburgh national tournament, next month.
 Important
 Then there's the Brooklyns who meet the Tommies tomorrow at 2 o'clock. A win for the North End CTS would just about knock the B.

 WILL DECIDE NET TITLE AT NEWPORT
Vines Elim i n a { e d in Straight Sets - Sutter Beaten After Hard Battle

Newport, R. l., Aug 19.-(UP)- With the national and defending champion, Ellsworth Vines, unex- pectedly eliminated, big Francis x. Shields of New York and Winner Allison of Texas, Davis Cup singles player, were opposed today in the final of the New port Casino ten his tournament.
 Because of the brilliant game he flashed yesterday in upsetting Vines, Shields was favored to beat Allison, who reached the final after of New Orleans. Allison eliminat- ed Sutter, 3-6, GA, 9-11, 6-2.
 Simple
 The powerful Shields had less difficulty with the might've Vinse whining in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4. 6-4. Vines was off form in his first severe test since the debacle of the interzone final Davis Cup matches in Paris. Shields was playing an unbeatable game.
 Because of the slippery courts following a rain, two defaults were registered in the quarter-final dou- bles and only one match started. It was not finished. Shields and Frankie Parker defaulted to Ber- kelley Bell and Gregory Mangin, and Allison and John Van Ryn to Eugene McCauliff and Sutter. Bell and Mangin were leading the na- tional champions Vines and Keith Gledhill, two sets to one, in semi final match when the match was called. It will be finished today.

 According to the latest an- nouncement from the United States Lawn Tennis association, the two quarter-f final round matches which were washed out yesterday (Mrs Helen Wills Moody vs Mary Hee- ley and Alice Markle vs Betty Nut halD will be played to-day. To- morrow the winner of these matches will meet, with Helen Ja- cobs and Dorothy Round, who gained the semi finals before yes- terday's downpour. coming to grips on Monday. The championship round will be on Tuesday.
