ANIMAL, INSECT
LIFE In STATE IS
STILL COLLECTED

- RALEIGH, May 1.-UP).-
The states search for new animal
and insect specimens never stops.
AMEN" and "T-Men" roam the
state looking for new species to
catalogue.
There are II $50 species of an
imal and insect life on record in
the North Carolina department of
agriculture card catalogue, C. S.
Brimley, head of the division,
said.
Brimley said the departments
field men are still looking for
more species.
"Back-boned animals make up
only little over eight per cent
of the list" he pointed out, "there
being 977 kinds in this category.
This list is further divided into
270 species of birds and $50 spe-
ces of fish, 80 mamamls, ~ rep
tiles and 65 amphibians. There
are 1O,583 kinds of animals with
out backbones, of which insects
comprise 9,057; spiders, crabs and
centipedes, mullosks and shell fish
complete the list.
"The insect group are led by
beetles, with 2,919 varieties, flies
next with 1888, the wasp-like in
sects next with 1902, butterflies
and moths, 1,070 kinds and so on
down the list, ending with the ter
mites, which has only three repre-
sentatives in North Carolina.
"The large number of kinds OF
insects, however, tends to exag-
gerate their Importance" Brimley
said, "for size largely offsets num-
bers. Thus 10000 bees can live
in single hive which would not
furnish quarters for even a small
rabbit, and the number of insects
required to take the place in ma
ture Of even single human being
would be almost incalculable."

Child Born In

Child Six Month Old

SANFORD, May 1.-(UP).-
Six months old now and a picture

born at the bottom of a 40-foot
well, continues to attract atten-
ton of persons throughout the
nation.
y The child's mother, Mrs. Alton

ability to swim, said she still re-

accounts of the birth are correct.
Moreover, she added, tourists fire.
quently. stop at the farm house
of the Jourdans, about 100 yards
off the main highway connecting
Greensboro and Sanford, to see
the child. Some bring gifts of
clothing.
Majority of the visitors ask to
see the well into which Mrs. Jour-
dan tumbled while she was draw
ing water. The Jourdans have
built fence around it, partly to
protect it against sightseers who
would venture too close and might
fall in and to keep little Franklin,
and an older boy, Jack, from ven-
turing too close.
Franklin weighs upwards of FL
pounds. He has a sunny DISPOSE
ton and his parents said strang-
ers do not frighten him. During
fair weather he is in the Jourdan
ward in a little green go-cart that
first belong to his older brother
Mrs. Jourdan said a nationally
known radio commentator was
trying to arrange for the mother
and child to appear on his pro-
gram.
The mother has no set ideas
about the career of her youngest
child, other than "We don't want
him to be a bootlegger or a Re-
publican president" The Jour
dams are certain the attention the
child received will not spoil him.

 To-day
POLI'S

Today and tomorrow, Polls is pre- sentIng Q doube-geatltre program with an array of stars that make 1t one of the outstanding programs of the summer season.
 "The Bride walks Out" has a sue perlative cast which includes Bar- bara stanwyck, Gene Raymond, Robert Young, Ned Sparks and Hel- en Frederick in Q romantic, hilarf- ous comedy.
 Miss stanwyclk has two leading men, Raymond and Young. The plot, an interesting an different one, re- wolves around the matrimonial ad- ventures of hot-headed civil ell- gineer. He is convinced that two can live on 436.O0 a week, and his flafcee, who doesn't think 50, de- cides to give 1t Q try. Everything progresses fairly well, until Robert Young, es q rich young scapegrace becomes alllorously tll- clined toward Hiss 6tanwyck who is Raymonds wife. He persistently pursues his attack upon her heart while gleefully inebriated and is apparently harmless. However, he becomes . real threat before the tale ends.
 Helen Frederick and Ned Sparks are bracketed in comedy roles as Q husband and wife who are always on the vrege of war, if not actually in 1t. Their wiSe-cracking through out this picture is "tops" for this sort of comedy and will have you in stitches"
 "The Amateur Gentleman" brings Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Elissa Landi together as the screens I1ew- est romantic team, and offers Fair. banks his greatest and most doman- tic role.
 How this handsome Amateur Gentleman" rose from poverty 10 prestige by a clever masquerade and snatched victory and love from the brink of defeat makes 2 whirlwind story, replete with action, thrills, suspense and romance.
 When you see this double feature program you will agree with thoEe who have seen it and acclaimed 1t to be the outstanding one of the season.
 Tonight is "screeno" night, the so many tlleatergoers look forward for the entertainment, thrills and profit. Everyone has an equal chance to share in the profit offer- ed and if you have won already, you may win again. If you haven't shared in the profit, tonight may Dc your lucky night. Make up your party and come on down early, as first Come-flrst seated.

STRAND

They're back in town folksl That scrappy, snappy pair of goofy love- birds, Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray who won your applause in Hands Across the Table,, and will do it again in their latest piece of hilarious comedy, "The Princess Comes Across" which heads the new show at Warner Brothers Strand theater today. It's the laugh-1llled tale of the gayest, gid- dlest romance the high seas ever witnessed. There's Q great cast ot fayorites surrounding these two royal lovers of the screen. Alison skipworth, in her funniest role as Q broken -winded old actress gone high-hat: George Barbier, as the llarassed seq captain with a cargo of detectives and royalty; William Frawley, taking as long as ever to get an idea through his head; and dozens more of your favorites. Don't miss this rollicking tale of Q phoney princess who decided that she had no time for men and then went right overheard the minute she met e concertina player.
 The companion feature is "The Law in Her Hands" with Margaret Lindsay, Glenda Farrell, Warren Hull, Lyle Talbot and Eddie Acun. A tense drama of criminal court rooms where shyster lawyers match wits with the states legal minds in gaining acquitals for their gangster clients. Here's thrills aplenty and an insight into the schemes and stunts staged in winning court bat ties.
 Starting Sunday the Strand will present Clark Gable and Jeanette Macdonald in "ean Francisco, the record-breaking hit of the year. The added feature will be "The Big Noise" starring Guy Kibbee, . grand comedy with grand cast or players.

JUNIOR COLLEGE APPROVES TESTS
New Procedure Adopted For Coming Ternl--Regis-
 tratiOn Starts August IS

The Junior College of Connecticut announces Q new and simplfiec method of entrance to be used in September. Heretofore all fresh- man students were required to take entrance examinations in any sllb- ject in which their high school record was not of certificate grade, The new plan abolishes this pro- cedure.
 In it's place the student is notified that he is either accepted or not accepted, and for those accepted every student will be required to take the general psychological test and an English placement test, to determine which class and which section of each English class the student is prepared to enter. If he elects Q curriculum that requires him to continue with mathematics he will also be required to take "a placement test in mathematics to determine in which of two classes the instruction will best fit the case. it
 In commenting on the changed procedure, President E. Everett Cortright stated, Colleges have known for many years that success in examinations in high school sub- ject matter bore little relation to ability to do college work. The stu- dents success in these examinations depended entirely too much upon nerves, digestion and general health at the moment to have any large reliability"
 President Cortright stated that the new method that the if1Stitu- ton is adopting is a combination of methods that have been tried successfully in Q score of senior colleges; that it did away with the drudgery and nervousness of pre- pairing for a subject matter exar1- nation, and that it sought to place the student in his college work ai the level where he could work best
 The first registration period al the Junior College closes on August IS. For students who do not regis ter until after that date, additional regulations go into effect including an increase in the registration fee,
