mendations for cleaning up university
and college athletics, especially foot
ball, so far attributed solely to Presi-
dent Graham, are expected to figure
prominently in the full meeting Of
the board Of trustees Of the Univer~
sity Of North Carolina in session here
today. Some Of the extremists are re-
ported as favoring the ousting of
Graham as president because Of his
pure ATHLETICS" recommendations.
One report current here today was
that if the Southern Conference uni
versities should adopt the purified
athletics recommendations made by
the committees appointed by the
American Association of University
Presidents, Of which Graham was
chairman, that the board of trustees
of the Greater University Of North
Carolina will take action withdraw
ing the university from the confer
ence. If this action should be taken,
it would mean that the University Of
North Carolina and State College foot
ball teams would not have to conform
to the eligibility rules set up by the
conference under the reform" re-
gulations.
The prevailing belief in most circles
here today, however, was that the
Southern Conference universities and
colleges will not adopt the new rules
and regulations advocated by the
committee, of which DR.. Graham was
chairman, and not only by DR.. Ora
ham, with the result that it will not
be necessary for the University Of
North Carolina to withdraw from the
conference. 1t Is maintained that 1t
was only characteristic of President
Graham that he should advocate be-
ginning right at home in the Univer-
sity of which he is president, IN car
rying out the athletic eligibility chan
ges recommended by the committee
of which he was chairman.

3. The dependence of North Caro-
lima OH the North for all manufac-
tured products, machinery, farming
implements. merchandise, food and
clothing, especially munitions needed
for carrying on warfare. The second
fact was that the means and mater
ials for supplying all these wants
were to be found within the borders
of the State
4. These funds had been advanced
to Colonel Williams, former North
Carolinian then living in South Caro-.
lima, to raise militia to aid In driving
OH the British, Colonel Williams was
killed in the battle of Kings Noun
tain. It was shown in a report to the
legislature of 1913 that Colonel Will
lianls lead force of about 400 men In
the battle in which he lost his life.
These facts being established the leg
islature released his estate from pay
ment Of the advanced money.
5. The act providing for the build

passed in the assembly of 1890. All
undated portion of a petition, or pro-
test, against the act, probably writ
ten shortly after the act was passed,
has been found among the state rec
ords. The protest says, ut is impo-
lite and dangerous us q state to enter
into u confederacy which at once will
tend to aggrandize a neighboring ma

Tennessee in 1866, reached this State

tional Union Guard, organized i'll the

These societies existed side by side,
often with the same officers.

New York, Jan. 31--Out of the Mail
bag: "Watching the auto traffic on
8th Avenue this afternoon, wonder
ed If anyone ever tried to estimate
the per diem cost of gasoline used by
idling motors In New York. The vast
ed energy must be tremendous.
"Also-the meter In my taxi ran
continuously between here and your
building, although the car was NOV
ing about one-fourth of the time.
Cost: 60 cents. In Boston the taxi
meter is shut off while waiting In
traffic"
The foregoing friendly note came
from T.. r. Hovey, owner of the Bev-
erly, Mass, Times, one of the fine
New England papers which prints
this daily tattle. (There Is nothing
like getting your publishers to write
your column for YOU'D.
Incidentally, the taxi meter that
spins on and on, clocking nickels
with the remorseless fervor of a po-
litico spending the taxpayers money,
is a Manhattan annoyance of old
memory. Mr.. Hovey was in New York
during the time when ice formed an
eight-inch sheath on the pavements
and snow was packed in huge igloos
every few feet along the boulevards.
The taxi meters didn't register
quite as prodigally while the cab was
at standstill in traffic, but you are
charged automatically then for wait
ing time" which Is five cents for
Is twenty cents for the first one
fourth mile and five cents for each
one-fourth thereafter.
The initial charge used to be fifteen
cents, but a nickel tax was clapped
OH by the city a year or so ago and
when the tax was outlawed in the
courts the taxi companies retained the
charge anyway. The public had grown
used to it, so why not?

Of her flickerine colleagues who dash
to New York for brief vacattons-will
see as many plays as possible while
here, every night and matinees.
The 1ove1y lady revealed a COM
mon touch when she complained
about her feet. So much tapping and
hoofing that she gets blisters. But on
the other hand, it was pointed out
that she probably gets more cash per
sore toe than any other lady with
tired dogs in the land.
OF course she said she was bound

The red spruce is becoming q great

tree is the balsam fir, because its

NY NOW you are familiar with
- the distinguishing mark OF
spruce trees, the horny projec-

twig. Where the spirally arranged
leaf brackets are found the place will
be very rough.
Then, most spruce trees have four
angled leaves that are very sharp
pointed and they are arranged spirally
around the shoot. All Of the members
OF the family are pyramidal. They
bear fruit and flowers of the confer
Gus type. There Is always crop each
year Of cones and they are always
pendant. There are 18 species. Seven
Of them belong to our American
forests. They are, as you know, among
our handsomest coniferous trees. The
wood is soft, with a straight grain,
and valuable as lumber.
Few trees repay us so well for the
care we give them. The red spruce
forests from Newfoundland to North
Carolina are very lovely. You can
cultivate this tree, and its dark green,
shining leaves, with their yellow tint,
make 1t a very y-looking tree
