City Superintendent Dis

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm The Sir Walter Hotter,


Raleigh, June 8-The rumpus which
has prevailed in Raleigh for several
days as result of the summary dis
missal of Principal c. E. Wessinger
of Hugh Morson high school here by
superintendent Paul S. Daniel, of the
city schools, and which has precipitat-
ed two parades fly protesting high
school students and a mass meeting
of enraged parents and schools pa
irons, is expected to reach a final so
luton this afternoon when the Ra-
leigh school board will meet to hear
Wessinger submit formal written re-
ply to Superintendent Daniels charges
of inefficiency.
Wessinger was notified that he
would not be reemployed as principal
next year in a letter from Daniel
which contained no reasons for his be-
ing dropped and which Wessinger re-
ceived the early part of last week.
When Wessinger made an attempt to
see Daniel and talk with him, he re-
ported that Daniel would not talk
with him or give any additional rea-
sons for his dismissal.
When these facts became generally
known, several nunUfGQ nlSn SChOOI
students paraded up and down Fay
etteville street here in vigorous pro-
test, carrying banners inscribed
Down with Daniel and Throw
Daniel into the Lions Den," and
other similar sentiments. A group of
high school boys carried a coffin on
which was the sign BURY Daniel"
Thursday night parents and patrons
of Hugh Morson high school, where
Messenger has been either a teacher
or principal for Is years, held mass
meeting and not only demanded the
reinstatement of Wessinger, but the
resignation of Superintendent Dainel
and all the members of the present
Raleigh school board. Friday after
noon the high school students held
another parade, after having been
prevented from making a march on
the home of Superintendent Daniel
Thursday night by the intervention
of the police.

Charlotte, June 8-(AP)-The Char
lotte News said in a news story today
that DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald would
make liquor control his principal cam
paign plank in a run-off primary with
Clyde r. Hoey for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
The paper, declining to reveal the
source of it's information, makes the
flat statement that Mcdonald has de-
cided to subordinate anti-sales tax
and anti-machine tactics used up to
now in favor Of direct appeal on
the liquor issue.
Mcdonald, according to The News
will advocate:

DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald shaved

nor to slightly more than 1900
votes as late return were tabu-
lated here today from Satur-
days Democratic primary.
Unofficial reports from 1,719 of

standing.
HOey, 181, 4O1.
Mcdonald, 1SO,O22.

John A. McRae, $685..
A run-off contest for governor
was made certain with the an
nOuncement by DIR. Mcdonald
that he would remain in the fight
against the veteran campaigner,
HOey.
At his headquarters in Raleigh,
the WinStOn-Salem legislator made
the cryptic comment:
There will be a second primary
on July and the Fourth of July
will be independence day."
simultaneously, the Charlotte
News declared here Mcdonald
would change his tactics in the
ensuing four weeks drive. The
paper said it had learned from an
"unimpeachable source" that he
would make liquor control the
paramount plank in his campaign
subOrdinating to it the sales tax
repeal issue and criticism of what
he calls machine rule" in the
State.
HOey, resting at his Shelby
home, had no comment to make
upon the outcome of the record
shattering primary except to ex-
press his appreciation at the
huge vote given him.

tiles at Washington College this week
when the Shoremen entertained the
University of Maryland. Following
the game these officials were address
ed by Paul Mention, dean of Maryland
referees.
An organization of officials on the
Shore is much to be desired. The Of
ficials play such an important part in
the game of basketball that anything
tending to improve their calibre will
be of great help to the sport.
When and if such an organization
is effected the various teams about
the Shore can do their bit by employ
ing only officials who are listed with
the organization. Only in that way
can the movement be fostered and as
sured of a worthwhile existence.

High Score

Earlier in the year I wrote of the
high scores of basketball games in
general during recent years. And
each week am more impressed, more
interested in looking for this group
phenomenon. Recently the situation
hit new high when Maryland game
produced a total of 100 points, the
winner scoring 55 and the loser 81.
That is the impressive thing about
the situation-the number of points
scored by the losing team and would
indicate that it is not a case of I'M
evenly matched teams but a general
affair produced either by improved Of
lenses or defenses that are slipping.

Since 1920, there has been a grad
ual decline in the birth rate, not only
in Maryland but throughout the coun-
try. This has been offset in Mary
land by the steady saving of infant
lives and the prolonging of life in the
older age groups. These changes
have brought about some shifting in
the relative sizes of the different age

TWO-THIRDS OF
POPULATION ARE
UNDER IS YEARS

Considering the people of Maryland
as one big family, it is interesting to
note that over two-thirds of the total
population Of the State are under
forty-five years old. The estimated
total population of the State is L.
742,419. Of that number, 1927, 201-
or 1852 per cent of the total-have
not reached their forty-fifth birthday.
The remaining 415,218 are from for
ty-five to seventy-nine years old and
older.
Because specific age groups are
more susceptible than others to GER
tain ailments, disease prevention cam

of health are based not only on where
and what disease are occurring, but

Fouls

Playing an important part in the
outcome of any basketball game is the
pencenttage of foul tries successfully
converted. A team that always make
good on the majority of it's foul at
tempts will ever be a team hard to
top.
1t is rather interesting to check on
the conversion of foul tries and note
how some night team will score al
most a hundred per cent and in the
next game fall way short of even half
that number.
Foul-shooting is one branch of the
game there is no excuse for neglect
ing. 1t is easily practiced and nearly
anyone can improve by devoting
enough time to the attempt.
1t is well, I think, to let the play
ers run around, dashing up and about
the floor until they get in practically
the same physical condition they
would be in game before practicing
the foul attempts. In a game a play
er is worked-up, his muscles react
differently than they do when he is
idling about. And so to practice fouls
under one condition and attempt them
in a game under another looks like
lot of wasted effort.
