worst they hurled at him the taunting

went his way smilingly, undaunted,

that carried him to the far ends Of

Those who knew Stribling as an

breathed freely once more only when
they felt ground under their feet again.
He had walked away from at least one
crackup in his plane and, until Sunday,
had been on his feet at the finish OF
every venture he ever tackled.

Stribling entered the flstic wars as q
slight, sleek-haird youth of 16, wearing
bright purple tights made by his mother

Baer. Jack may be an easy mark for
a hard-luck story and give his money
away, but when 1t comes to making a
deal he usually gets what it takes to
make bank presidents bow to him.
Jack has been used to big figures and
he will see to it that Mr. Max Baer Of
Hollywood and Livermore, Calf, is
well paid.
Ancil Hoffman will do NO bust
ness without Dempsey, and no
one blames him for that. The
partnership is in . fair way to
make . million dollars and win
the world heavyweight title to
boot. Not 50 bad, considering
some Of the purses Baer pulled
down for real tough scraps.
Dempsey plans to cook up q match
for Baer before the Summer months
Of 1884 lay the setting for a possible
match with Camera. There are too
many angles to be Strengthened out be-
fore that match can be made. Chief
of these is the contract binding the
champion to the Madison Square Gar
den Corporation. Jack will not agree
to that fight unless he is declared in
on the promotion or the Garden valves
its usual clause binding the challenger
to fight for it in the event the title
changes hands.
Right now Baer has the first call as
the outstanding challenger for the
heavyweight crown. Cameras knock

the stunning defeat Baer administered
to Schmeling. It is generally conceded
that q boxer cannot beat Primo.
The job requires q puncher,

Sykes Is Head of Bank
University Alumnus Is President Of
the Dep0sitors National

Judge Robert II. Sykes has
been elected president of the De-

Mr.. Wilde has resigned in order
to resume his work with the
Comptroller of the Currency in
Washington.

Of Judge Sykes that the First
National Bank, which failed,
was reorganized into the Depos-
itOrs National In the face of
great difficulties he brought the
depOsitOrs in the old bank into
cooperation, and by putting
through his reorganization plan
he reduced their losses to a
minimum.
His elevation to the presi-
dency is Of special interest in
Chapel Hill. He is a devoted
alumnus Of the University, and
has a great many friends here.
He and Mrs. Sykes, the former
Miss Adelaide Snow, are seen
frequently on the campus and on
the streets of the village. One
of their pastimes is to come over
from Durham to see the plays
in the moving picture theatre
here.
Judge Sykes, a native of Will
mington, served as assistant at
torney general during Governor
Bickett's administration. He is
past president of the Durham
Chamber Of Commerce, the
State Bar Association, and the
Commercial Law League of
America. He is now chairman
of Durham's city planning and

Slide into the Water
Addition to Picnic Ground Equip
ment near University Lake

A slide for children, leading
down into the water. will be
built tomorrow at the picnic
ground near the University
Lake. The place selected for it
is few feet downstream from
the foot bridge below the dam.
The depth of the water there is
only about two feet. so that the
sport may be engaged in with
safety.
Another improvement under
consideration is a rail along the
top Of the high bank between
the dam and the bridge. At that
point the water is deep, and the
purpose Of the rail is to protect
picknickers who might careless
ly get too close to the edge.
The picnic ground had its
first big company this week
when the visiting dentists as
sembled there for a barbecue
supper.
"We expect to have next
week a force of men from the
government relief organization,
said j. S. Bennett yesterday.
"They will proceed with the
clearing of the ground and the
making Of pathways. We hope
to have, a little later on, a pipe
line from the spring up in the
woods, sanitary facilities, and
possibly dressing rooms for Wis
itors who want to go in bath
ing"
The picnic ground lies along
the creek below the dam. No
picknicking or bathing is per
mitted above the dam.

The village is witnessing a

cause of the desire of citizens to

prices of material and labor,
several new residences are 60
ing up within and beyond the
town limits, while extensions
and improvements are being
made in several homes and other
structures.
These operations are giving
employment to scores of men at

what depressed by the low sal
aries paid to teachers.

but it looks as if the figure for
the first term this year will be

The cause of the decrease is
the general financial uncertainty
that prevails among school
teachers. Not only have their
salaries been slashed, but many
of them do not know whether or
not they will keep their jobs.
No fund has been allotted to
the University for the Summer
School by the state budget bu-

the school must depend upon the
revenue from students fees.

Dentists Entertained
Village Spares No Effort to Show
the Delegates u Good Time

More than 400 dentists and
their friends attended the meet
ings of the North Carolina Dem
tai Society which ended here
yesterday.
The delegates could not COM
plain that Chapel Hill was not
attentive to them, for they were
entertained, toured, toasted, and
sung to and played to by all the
hosts and hOstesses and talents
that the village could muster.
According to custom, the
president-elect was chosen
year in advance. He is DR.. l..
M. Edwards Of Durham who
will succeed Ernest A. Branch
Of Raleigh when DR.. Branch has
completed year in Office. DR..
j. p. Jones of Chapel Hill was
elected vice-president.
u. Garfield Rickert of the
University of Michigan rebuked
dentists for using so much gold
in teeth. 1t was a loss, he said,
that would eventually be felt by
the nation, and, besides, gold
was not kind to the nerves Of
the teeth.

fists on "The Relation of Dem

No Decision on School
State Commission Has Not Acted on
Request Of Chapel Hill Board

The state school commission
has not yet made a decision upon
the request of the school board
here that Chapel Hill be consti-
tuted a special unit in which
the people may vote to tax
themselves to supplement the
state allowance for the standard
8-months term.
There is thought to be little
doubt that the commission will
accede to the request, since the
county board Of education has
given its formal approval and
since the dominant sentiment Of
the community is known to be
in favor of holding a tax cleo
ton.
Interest now centers on these
two questions: When will the
election be held? And what tax
rate will the citizens be asked to
approve? n the state commits
sion approves the creation Of the
special unit, then the school
authorities here will present a
budget, with complete informa-
ton about the school, and will
propose a rate. The commission
may authorize a vote on the pro-
posed rate or may change the
rate to be placed upon ballot.
Because of recent tax-reduc-
tion legislation, owners of prop
erty in Chapel Hill can vote an
adequate special school tax and
still have a considerably smaller
tax bill than they had last year.

the governor was a bull terrier
that attracted almost as much
attention and was much more
important in his bearing than
new doctor of philosophy. The
dogs appearance drew scarcely
less attention than the digni-
taries whom he treated as per-
feet equals.
Frank Graham delivered the
address which is usually re-
served for an imported speaker.
His quiet talk on the rise and
development of social control
was made pleasantly audible by
loudspeakers.
The Governor discovered for
the first time what it means to
hand diplomas and give hand
shakes to several hundred indi-
viduals in one short evening,
His voice was somewhat husky,
probably due to his having de-
Iivered previous address that
day. He permitted himself one
pleasantly in wishing good luck
