However, he continued, because
most of the committee members

Saturday was the most logical day
to hold the hearing.
The request for hearing on tho
case was made by the City-County

following a special meeting of the
group.
At that time, DR.. Hoggard in

the Raleigh Caps, 63 to % by the

WILDCAT CRIDDERS
in SC0RELESS TIE

In the second of the series of
football scrimages yesterday morn.
ing at 18th a n Ann f d,
the two squads of the New Han
over High school varsity played
a scoreless tie.
Both teams came within a few
yards of the goals, but neither
could muster enough strength to
push across a touchdown.
Jim. Gibson, Neal Patrick, and
Linwood Grissom were outstanding
for Buddy Bridges team, which
had big Doc Venters, injured
back, running from the fullback
spot. Even though Venters suffered
a chest injury two weeks agao,
the husky boy insisted in getting
back into the spring workouts.
Louis 'Bubba' Sykes, who hurt
his ankle during the inter-squad
contest, showed that he could still
dash around the ends before his
mishap. J. C. Price made the long
est run Of the day through tackle,
while Jimmy Piner kept up his
splendid defensive work at quarter
back.
The line, which will DE the Cats
biggest problem next season, look
ed impressive with "Butch' Swart,
Lloyd Honeycutt, Bobby Stuart,
Irwin Gore, Bill Cohn, and 'Tink-
ey' Rogers standing out.

There is no human personality sur

The present work suffers from this
common handicap and from others.
It's authors, apparently giving up
President Taylor as an inscrutable
outline early in the game. content
themselves almost altogether with
writing the history of his times.
There are long passages in the book
in which the hero is not even men,
toned; then he comes in by way of
some such announcement as that
in that year his third child was
born, after which he disappears
again. Probably the times were
more interesting than the man
possibly the method is justified.
But, unfortunately, the authors are
dull about the times, too. They al

detail and using broad panoramic
sweep, and their style is pedestrian

Foreigners who 60 to China seem
to be affected by this country in a
very positive way. Either they are
left strictly cold by the place, serve
their term in an official or business
capacity and, with a sigh of relief,
take their leave to the more conven-
tional quarters Of the globe, or else
they fall irretrievably under the ORR
entail spell.
Mrs. Felicia Dale, the commanding
character of this novel, belonged
with fierce and loyal conviction to
the latter group. She experienced
and lived through two periods in
China which most affected the lives
of foreign residents, the Boxer Re-
bellion days of 1900 and the Japa-
nese occupation of World War II.
The beauty of sf1is novel is the
obvious authenticity with which
Margaret Mackay writes. This fact
is not surprising, as she spent 10
years in Peking and Tientsin as the
wife of a Scotsman who was later
killed in a japanese ambush on the
Burma road. This, her sixth novel,
was written while sweating out the
war in Honolulu. Mrs. Mackay
plans to return to Peking in the
near future, there to make her home
once again. She also plans to write
another book. 1t should be worth
looking for.
