TO ASK BOARDS
ASSENT TO VOTE
ON SCHOOL TAX
Election Will Be Held in Fall
Because Many Citizens Are
Absent in Summertime
RATE LIMITED TO 20 CENTS

The Chapel Hill school board
will present to the board of coun-
ty commissioners, at the meet
ing Monday after next, August
| 7, request for the authority to
hold an election on the question
of levying supplementary
school tax. The commissioners
approval is required by law.
There is no doubt that the re-
quest will be granted. The coun-
| ty board of education has al
ready given its formal approval
to the plan, and no objection to
it has been advanced in the COM
munity.
The election will be held
toward the end of September.
The reason for not holding it
earlier is that so many of the
citizens of the village are absent
in the summer.
The State School Commission
has agreed to constitute Chapel
Hill a special unit-in the legal
phrase, "a city administrative
unit"-so that the people here
may decide whether or not they
want to have better school
than is provided by the states
allowance. The standard state
wide term is now 8 months. If
the people vote yes on the spec
ial tax, Chapel Hill will continue
to have a 9-months term and will
be able to pay it's teachers more
Though not much more) than
they would receive under the
state schedule.
The State Commission has
sanctioned the creation of the
special unit on the condition that
the supplementary tax shall not
exceed 20 cents on the $100 of
assessed valuation. For example,
if the tax is voted, the owner of
property assessed at $4,000, will
not have more than 81 added to
his tax bill. Other examples are:
for assessment of $4,000, in
crease of not more than SO in
tax bill; for $4,000, increase of
not more than SIP; for $4,000,
increase of not more than SIG;
for $4,000, increase of not more
than 500.

Government Money Will Be Used
For Improving Streets in Village

er Caldwell, and Herman Baity,
dean of the University school of
engineering, constituted the
delegation that went down to
Raleigh Tuesday to present the
request for these improvements
before the State Highway Com
mission.
"Of course the commission
hasn't made a definite decision
upon the matter yet" said Mr..
Caldwell on his return, "but ii
is practically certain that the
commission will make an allot-
ment for the paving on East
Franklin street. And we have
good reason to hope that the
other projects will be put on the
construction schedule"
Nobody knows yet when the
work made possible by Govern
ment aid will begin. The usual
preliminary Investigations by
engineers must be made, and
then plans and specifications
must be prepared and submitted
for competitive bidding by con-
tractors. Perhaps some of the
work may get under way with
in the next two or three months.
North Carolina's allotment
from the United States Govern
ment, in the form of a direct
grant, is $9.5O0,0O0, and in ad-
dition there is federal aid
fund, under the recent emergen-
cy legislation, of $1,5OO,O00,
making $11, 100000 altogether.
Of the $9,50O,OO0 in the direct
grant, not more than 25 per
cent, or $2,38O,OOO, may be used
in municipalities. The same
amount is available for secon-
Diary roads, and the remaining
so per cent will go to state and
federal highways.
Delegations from municipal
tiles all over the state have been
appearing before the highway
commission this week. Most Of
the groups are asking improve
ments on primary highways
passing through their communi-
ties. The main street of Chapel
Hill is section of one of the
important federal north-and-
south routes,

traitor for this region is George
L. Radcliffe of Baltimore, banker
and former Maryland secretary
of state.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes

pointment of the boards he told
what their functions would be.
"They are to formulate local pro-
grams" he said, with a view
to getting quick action from
Washington. It will be their
duty to weed out projects with
out merit. 1t will be as much
their duty to say mo- as to say
yes. Only the best projects
should be recommended to
Washington. Though appointed
to represent states, these boards
are really agents of the Govern
ment, and they are to view the
public works program in it's
broadest national aspects

Chapel Hill Chaf

When Mrs. Charles S. Mang-
um came downstairs, early in
the morning one day this week,
she saw upon the hall table a
little package and on top of the
package a gorgeous Talisman
rose. The moment after she be-
came aware of the fragrance of
the rose, another fragrance
reached her, very different but
equally delightful. She opened
the package and found roe
herring, still warm from the
oven. DR.. MacNider had brought
the two gifts on his way to. the
laboratory.
1t may seem to some poetic
spirits that a rose and a roe her
ring are a trifle incongruous, but
it seems to me that DR.. Mac
Nider revealed rare genius in
selection. | cannot think of any
better combination for the break
fast table: herring to please
the palate and a rose to uplift
the soul.
The good doctor has made me
many an acceptable gift, but
never these two together. If he
should ever decide to pay me this
double attention, | would chant
his praises. But if, some morn
ing when | was awaiting break
fast, he should tell me that he
had a herring and a rose and
must divide them between two
friends, and which would |

The county commissioners are
expected to fix the tax rate at
their next meeting, Monday,
August 7. BY that time County
Accountant Gilbert w. Ray will
have completed his computation
of the total assessments.
The rate will probably be
around 90 cents on the 500.
Last year it was 80 cents. Since
then a horizontal cut of 25 per
cent has been made in the as
sessments, and so the rate this
year, though higher on the face,
reflects reduction in taxes. On
property assessed at $5, 200, an
8O-cent rate means tax bill of
$40; when the assessment On this
property is reduced by Is per
cent, to $3.50, a 90-cent rate
means tax bill of $33.75.
It looks as if the county will
have to lay a rate of 5 cents for
relief. The Government has CIV
en- notice that it will not allot
any more relief money to cOun-
ties that do not contribute a GER
tain proportion of the whole
amount needed.

A country home of a magnifi-
cence hitherto unknown to Chap

of a hill about two miles east of
the village. The owner is st.

From the Raleigh road a der

'RAILROAD' RAY
SURRENDERS TO
POLICE OFFICER
Sends Word to Chief to Come
and Get Him at Brothers
Home Near CarrbOrO
TAKEN TO NASHVILLE JAIL

M. P. Ray, known as Rail.
road" Ray, who had been hunted
as a suspect in the recent bank
robbery in Battleboro, in Nash
county, surrendered in Carrboro
Tuesday morning.
He sent word to Chief of Pol
ice Wright that if Wright would
come to the home of his brother
he would give himself up. Wright
went, took the fugitive into his
automobile, and drove with him
to Nashville and delivered him
to the Nash county sheriff.
1t is said that a complete in
vestigation has revealed that
Ray is innocent of the bank rob-
berry, but he is held on other
charges.
Ray told Wright that he had
been at the 'home of his uncle,
Robert Davis, near the Chapel
Hill -Hillsboro highway, since he
escaped from the Jail in Green
vile three weeks ago. 1t was
after his escape that the Battle
boro robbery was committed,
and at first suspicion pointed to
him.
He was suspected of having
taken part in the robbery of the
DarneIl filling station in Chat
ham county, several weeks ago.
On the way to Nashville Chief
Wright took Ray by the filling
station for identification, but
the proprietor said that Ray was
not one of the robbers.
How Ray got out of the Green
Vile JAN remains mystery. IL
is thought that the escape was
managed by accomplices who
secretly obtained a key to the
cell block.
He has been indicted in Dur
ham on the charge of stealing
13 cases Of cigarettes from a
box car. He was imprisoned in
Greenville under a similar
charge.
Ray is a former catcher in
the Piedmont baseball league.
He was once a member of the
Greensboro police force and was
a fireman on the Southern Rail
road. He is married and has
four children.

The unpaved part of Chapel
Hills main street East Frank
linz from the corner at the
Presidents House to the eastern
edge of the village beyond the
MacNider home, is to be paved
by the use of Government mon
ey allotted to North Carolina for
highway Improvement.
This stretch is half a mile
long. In the middle of the
street is the state highway
pavement, Is feet wide. Be-
tween the concrete and the curb
on each side is a dirt surface.
When the new job is done there
will be concrete from curb to
curb, and the main street will
then be paved over its entire
length from the eastern to the
western town limits.
The hard-surfacing will re-
Iieve the Chapel Hill town gov
ernment of great deal of
troublesome and costly mainten-
ance. Constantly transforms
cut deep gashes in the gravel,
and these have to be refilled.
And in dry weather the dust
has to be kept down by sprink-
ling. The dirt surface makes
rough going for motorists who
have to leave the concrete.
There is another stretch in
the village where Government
money will be probably used for
paving: the McCauley street ex-
tension Zone block up from the
Pittsboro highway near the un-
derpass back Of the Carolina
Inn) and on out Pittsboro street
to the junction with the high
way near the homes of H. w.
Odum and J. p. Harland. This
will be for the purpose of reliev-
ing traffic on the highway from
the underpass southwark; there
is great congestion here on days
when crowds come to see foot
ball games.
And it may be that the pave
ment along this part of the
highway will be broadened by
the addition of about six feet of
concrete on each side of the
present 18-foot strip.

TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN's TEETH
By DR. J. M. WlSAN


There is no time in the life of the individual when dental care of the most thorough and the most painstaking kind is more definitely indicated than during the forma- tive periods of a child's life." These words were expressed by Dr McGonigle at the recent conven- tion of the New Jersey State Den- tai Society.
 He then quoted { statement of Dr w. T. McFall. one of the lead- ing editors of dental periodicals, as follows:
 "The individual dentist is doing more to hurt and hinder the pro- gress and glorious possibilities of mouth hygiene and children's den- tistry by his indifference, his con- tinuous failure to do his work well, his unpardonable lies to parents and children than is any other agency. Such lies as: The first teeth are not important It is not necessary to fill and save baby teeth as they will shed anyhow. 'absc essed teeth arc not probable source of trouble to children the six year molar does not need to be filled, it will be all right to wait until the cavity becomes larger, the tooth Is not through growing yet

 You must everlastingly keep at
 First:-Watch your diet. Inter- nal cleanliness is of paramount importance in clearing blemishcs that are already there and pre- venting others. Any standard diet that is rich in fruits and vegetab bles will help you.
 Second:.-Keep your skin imma- culately clean. A pasteurized face cream, supplemented by q granu- lar washing preparation such as beauty grains. will remove impuri- ties from the skin, and give them no chance to lodge in the pores. Third:-Correct the sIuggishness of the skin by daily uses of q good skin clearing cream. This will en- liven the skin and help 1t throw off impurities. Before makeup, use a skin toning lotion that will firm the skin and protect 1t against dust and dirt. Use an acne cream at night to banish more quickly those blemishes that are stubborn.
