IRISH MEN GO
TOAD SPAIN

DUBLIN, Dec. IS G.N.S0. "A
German ship today was reported
carrying 600 Irish Free State vol
unteerS to Spain to fight with the
1nsurgent forces.
The volunteers, organized by
Gen. Eoin ODuffy, former Fascist
"blue shirt" leader, left yesterday,
but identity of the vessel taking
them to Spain was not known
officially. The group was taken
out to meet the ship by a tender.
For the first time since the call
for volunteers was sent out, the
participation of Irishmen in the
conflict caused public discussion
here. The government took a seri-
GUS view of General O'Duffy's al
legged acceptance Of minors who
failed to get consent of their
parents.
Frank Ryan, former Irish repub-
ncan army leader, began organiZa-
ton Of a corps of volunteers to
fight for Madrid as a counter
move to the ODuffy activities.
The tender which took the vol
Unteers out to the ship returned
with 40 who complained they were
unable to get anything to eat
aboard the ship, and that they
were badly treated.

Owners Are Wealthy
Only the fact that their owners
are immensely wealthy makes it
possible for them to resist the
offers of the speculative real

lots in the center of the

Raleigh, Nov 3O.-The resignation
of A. S. (SoD Brewer as director Of
the Division of Purchase and Contract
was announced here today by Cover
nor j. c. B. Ehringhaus Brewer will
become associated with Duke Univer-
sity in Durham, as executive Secre-
Fa,y Of the Duke Memorial, a common
law trust Brewer said this morning
that he frankly does not know yet
just what his duties will be, other
than that he will have plenty of work
to do. He also said that while he was
anxious to get to his new job as soon
as possible, he would remain with the
division of purchase and contract for
several weeks yet, probably until the
end of December.
Speculate on Successor.
No announcement was made today
q S to who would succeed Brewer ir
this post, although it was intimated
that a successor might De named be-
fore the end Of the present week. Il
r. Hoey is already considering the
matter and believed that he will make
the new appointment, even though it
is expected to re announced before
he becomes governor.
Brewer has been head of the Di-
vision CT Purchase and Contract for
the past five years, having been ap-
pointed its director in June, 1881, by
former Governor o. Max Gardner,
after he had persuaded the 1881 Gen
eral Assembly TO set up a centralized
purchasing division for the State.
Brewer had been controller business
manageD at State College for seven
years, from December 1923 to June,
1891, and had made an excellent rec
ord there as the watch dog of the col
iege's fiannces. It was because of the
record he had made at State College
both as controller and in handling all
college purchases, that Governor Gard
ner selected him to head the new pur-
chase and contract division. He was

Saves $5O0,OOO Yearly.

Since the Division Of Purchase and
Contract was established five years
ago at the instigation of Governor
Gardner and as part of his economy
program it has handled approximately
$10,00O,000 worth of State purchases a
year, including contract as well as
outright purchases, it is estimated
Thus Brewer during his term of Of
flee, has supervised the purchase of
at least $5O,000,000 worth of supplies
for the State. Brewer has consistent
ly declined to make any estimate as
to the amount which the centralized
purchasing agency has saved the
state since it has been in operation.
But Governor Gardner estimated that
the new centralized purchasing di-
vision saved the State 100000 the
first year it was in operation and 9TH
ers who have been following its &C
tivitieS agree that it has saved the
State at least 100000 year each
year it has ceen operating. Brewer
has won the reputation among those
he has purchased goods from as be-
ing one Of the closest bargainers in
the entire United States and as being

A!unnuS Of Duke.
Brewer is an alumnus of Duke Uni
versity-or rather of Trinity College
before it became Duke University
of the class of 1912, and specialized
in chemistry. But he took a job in
the State Department Of Public In
struction in Raleigh, where he re-
manned until 1923, much Of this time
as director of finance, also in charge
If statistics and certification. When
Dr. E. C. Brooks was made president
Of State College, after having been
state superintendent Of public instruc-
ion, he tccIZ Brewer with him to take
charge Of the busnc:s end of the col
cge Brewer is q native Of Concord
Those who have followed Brewers
,areer here both as head of the pur-
>hasing division and at State College,
regard him as being one of the aclest
men in his line and his appointment
20 the purchasing post was regarded
as one Of the best made by former
Governor Gardner. The current belief
is that Governor-elect Hoey is going
to have a rather difficult time in find
ing a man of sound experience TO re-
place him in the purchasing division.

"Who takes Cardul:
Women who are rundown, weak
