WHEELER MAKES NEW DYES DISCOVERY IN RECENT RESEARCH IT IS ONE OF THE FEW DYE DISCOVERIES IN AMERICA BIG CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE Dr. Wheeler, professor of Organic Chemistry, has recently discovered three very important dyes which are the first to be discovered at the Uni versity and probably the first in the South. The discovery of these dyes by this prominent scientist is very interesting locally because of the fact that very few dyes have been dis covered in America. Not only is this true of our own nation, but also of England, France and Switzerland which, like America, were almost en tirely dependent upon Germany who led the world in the discovery of new dyes previous to the World War. The scarcity of dyes which was caused by Allied blockades of Ger man ports awakened American chem ists and manufacturers to the reali zation of the fact that some substi tute had to be found for the German dyes. Among these scientists who realized this need for American dyes was Dr. Wheeler who has been en gaged in research work along this line for sometime and has made sev eral very important discoveries. In his research, Dr. Wheeler used napthaline which is a coal tar by product. Four operations are passed through before the dye is made. One of these dyes is an indigo-blue sub stance which gives a champagne color on silk, and a tan color on wool. Another is a rich maroon substance which gives a delicate purple on silk, and a very beautiful color between orange and gold on wool. The third dye gives a very striking bronze tint. In order to obtain different varieties of tints from these dyes, mordants are employed. In addition to the three dyes which have already been dis covered, three more are already in sight of determination. Patents on the discovered dyes have been applied for, and government ex aminers report that they see nothing standing in the way of the patents being issued. Dr. Wheeler states that his . claims f 6r patents are broad enough to cover certain fields in which there is a certainty of discover ing several other very interesting dyes. The discovery of these dyes ranks with the most important of the recent discoveries of science, and will lead to still greater activity along this line, it is believed. Chapel Hill Scene of Most Imposing Military Spectacle With a gala day celebration and the streets decked in holiday attire Chapel Hill and the University wel comed the old veterans and the new on Confederate Memorial Day, May 10th. The largest crowd that had as sembled in Chapel Hill since the day that the S. A. T. C. disbanded was present to welcome the veterans and join in the festivities. No one was disappointed for all that was adver tised was given. Next to the "eats" probably the most important event was the grand parade. Promptly at 10:30, or per haps it was a little after, the parade headed by the school children carry ing garlands and spreading flowers in the streets, started from Franklin Street and ; made its waly through Main street. The students were fol lowed by the Confederate Veterans in cars. Next came the Red Cross fcroup, Y. M. C. A., Boy Scouts, and the March of the Allies. This was followed by Col. Pratt and his staff supported and backed by the men from overseas, from the training camps, Marines, Sailors, and Avia tors, the Color Guard, and the rem nants of the Non and S. A. T. C. companies. Those bringing up the end of the procession were the Ser vice Flag Bearers, Mayor, and Speak ers. At Memorial Hall the procession halted. Here Dr. Archibald Hender son, Dr. G. M. McKie, Major L. P. McLendon, and Colonel Pratt, in short addresses, spoke warm and profuse praises of the work done by our men overseas. After this the list of men on the Nation's Honor Roll was read. The last and most important thing on the day's program was the regular d picnic dinner served under the stately oaks between Memorial Hall and Gerrard Hall to the Confederate veterans, the Speakers, out of town visitors, and those participating in the Parade. This was just another of wose tributes to the Confederate veterans before they are all gone. The Point System Advocated For N. C. The Campus Cabinet has conceived the idea of instituting the "point sys tem," now in use at Davidson, among i the student activities here. The pur pose of the plan is two-fold: Firstly, to keep, any one student from having so many honors and activities that he cannot do justice to any one of them. Secondly, to distribute honors more widely and to make activities more representative. Although the system has not been completely worked out, the proposition which is now being considered by various organizations, as well as the student body as a whole is somewhat as follows: Positions of honor are to be divided into two classes, perhaps called "major" and "minor. To the first class would belong such offices as President of the classes, President of the Y. iM. C. A., managers of teams, and Editor-in-chief. In the "minor" class would be assistant-managerships, presidencies of the literary so cieties, and all positions that involve only a "minor" amount of time and responsibility. A rule, legislated by the entire stu dent body, will decree that no man may hold more than one major office and more than two (or perhaps three) minor offices. Whether we are ready for such a law is left to our decision. Henry D. Stevens. N. C. Club Discusses Youthful Delinquents At the regular bi-monthly meeting of the North Carolina Club on Mon day night Mirs. T. W. Lingle present ed a most interesting and instructive paper on "Juvenile Delinquents and Juvenile Courts." At the present time youthful miscreants under 16 years of age are sent to some penal institution as punishment for their wrongs, many of which cannot wholly be imputed to the inherent vicious ness of the delinquent. The speaker pointed out how the youngster comes out of such an institution embittered and the worse for his experience. On July 15 a law establishing coun ty juvenile courts will go into effect. The purpose of this court is to take the delinquent child in hand, if possi ble before he has made much progress in his life of wrong doing, and put him upon the right road to good citi zenship through correction and gui dance rather than by punishment. The judges of these juvenile courts, one for each county and one for any city that may desire to establish it, will be the clerks of the Superior Court. Using diagrams to illustrate her points, Mrs. Lingle showed how a state board appoints a county board to take charge of local delinquents and how the county board selects a superintendent of public welfare to gether with assistants required by him. This superintendent is proba tion officer with extensive powers over supervising delinquents, finding proper positions for them, establish ing them in wholesome surroundings, or as a final resort, sending the in corrigibles to state reformatories. Following Mrs. Lingle, Messrs. Brawley and Mobley further discuss ed the problem. They were both agreed that juvenile delinquents should be guided and not punished in as far as possible. Feimster Captain of Next Year's Varsity Walter Feimster, for three years varsity third baseman of the Caro lina nine, was elected captain of next years baseball squad, following a ban quet given by the athletic association to the team, Wednesday night in Dur ham, after the Trinity game. "Wop" has demonstrated his abil ity to hit in the pinches this year and has played a good game at third. As pilot of the Carolina team next year, with many varsity men back it is thought he will lead the team through a most successful season. Phi Legislature Meets The Phi Society had its first meet ing last Saturday night as a General Assembly. It was also the regular night for the installation of new offi cers, but due to the sickness of the Sneaker of the House, N. G. Gooding, the speaker protem, J. P. Washburn, presided. The first bill put up before the House, for discussion, was a bill con cerning co-education in the Univer sity of North Carolina. John Kerr, representative from Warren, spoke first, and upheld co-education, to be violently opposed by representatives from Craven, Stokes, and others. The first meeting under the new system proved to be a very interest ing one, and it is the belief of the whole society that a great future is in store for the Phi.

BASEBALL RESUME The 1919 baseball season that has just closed, despite the fact that we lost the series to our old rival, has been a most successful one, when we consider the season as a whole. Iri the Virginia series, the Old Dominion nine scored seventeen points while our crew scored fifteen, and if we could have finished that second game here, well, it might have been un necessary for us to play a fourth and deciding contest in the Gate City. In the matter of games, we played twenty-one, winning twelve, losing seven, and tying two. We scored 89 runs, and our opponents crossed the plate 67 times for tallies. The scores of all the games played this season follows: March 29 Carolina 4, Oak Ridge 0. April 2 Carolina 7, Camp Bragg 4. April 4 Carolina 4, Elon 1. April 5 Carolina 4, Durham Moose 1.

(Continued on page 4) High School Champions Meet Here Saturday The winners in the eastern cham pionship series of high school base ball will cross bats here Saturday, May 17 with the western victor of the series in that half of the state to decide which is to hold state cham pionship honors. The greatest num ber of high school yet qualified is this year to compete in the sixth annual contest. Five schools entered in the East; Durham, Raleigh, Rocky Mount Goldsboro, and Red Oak, while seven schools tried out for western honors: Winston-Salem, Leaksville, Greens boro, South Buffaloe, Jamestown, Salisbury, and Asheboro. At the present writing, the eastern contest ants have been narrowed down to Raleigh and Red Oak, the winner of the game between these schools com peting Saturday with the survivor of the Winston-Salem Jamestown con test, the latter teams having defeat ed the other western contestants. A tight game is expected in he final round. The Winston-Salem high school captured first place last spirng. The committee on high school de bates is already at work on plans for next year's debates. A normal, enrollment of three hundred schools is expected to enter the lists for the coveted Aycock Memorial Cup. Several Games Remain in Class B. B. Series Class baseball began this year un der the auspices of the Y. -M. C. A. The following regulations governed the playing of games. Every student was eligible to play, except such men as were eating at the training table; each class was to play every1 other class twice, and the class winning the most games to be class champions, this team to be entertained by the Y.'M. C. A. An all class team is to be picked, and the men composing that team will be allowed to wear their class numeral. Dorsett was elected captain of the Freshman team, Ruffin of the sophs., Washburn of the Juniors, and Willis of the Seniors. Up until the present time seven games have been played with the fol lowing results: Fresh, 1 Soph, 6. Fresh, 1 Soph, 4. Fresh, 7 Juniors, 4. Fresh, 2 Seniors 1. Soph, 6 Juniors, 5. Juniors, 9 Seniors, 10. Soph, 5 Seniors, 3. Five more games are scheduled to be played: Fresh Juniors. Fresh Seniors. Soph Seniors. Soph Juniors. Juniors Seniors. The Y. M. C. A. has been making extensive improvements lately. Not the least is the paint work that has been done about the building, book covers for the magazines in the read ing .room have been secured; Mr Woollen, the University Business Manager, is planning with the Secre tary to install a new lighting sys tem; the dance hall is to be fixed up more elaborately, and some improve ment is to be made on the second floor so as to accommodate larger gatherings. Di Endorses Scheme For Current Event The Di Society endorsed without a dissenting vote last Saturday night the petition for a Current Events Class to be established in the curri culum. This petition was originated by Amphoterothen and has been en dorsed by several of the leading or ganizations on the campus. In a very interesting and hotly con tested debate R. B. Gwynn and F. L. Townsend, favoring compulsory arbi tration in the League of Nations, de feated Ben Cone and B. C. Jones, representing the negative side of the question. Mr. Cone was awarded the honor of first speech. The following men were elected as officers to serve the first term of next year: President, G. D. Craw ford; Vice-President, W. H. Bobbitt; Secretary, F. A. Grissett; First Cor rector, C. T. Boyd; Second Corrector, E H. Abernethy; First Censor, J. A. McLean; Second Censor, Fred Pharr. The officers who are to serve through the whole of next year were elected as follows: Treasurer, W. R. Berry hill; Archives Keeper, E. H. Martin; Recorder Constitutional Committee, W. L. Blythe; Recorder Finance Com mittee, Van Noppen. The query for the Junior. Com mencement Debate, which will come off on June 17th, was announced to be : Resolved, That with respect to im migration and citizenship the United States should extend to citizens of China and Japan the same privileges accorded the citizens of European nations. An unusually large number of Juniors from each Society have de- U.N.C. PLAYS TRINITY SCORELESS TIE SAT.; WON SECOND 3 TO 2 WILSON PITCHES BOTH METH ODISTS AT MERCY IN BOTH CONTESTS HEAD-WORK PULLS US THROUGH In a game witnessed by more than two thousand fans, abounding in thrills, sensational catches, and a pitcher's battle that was great to see, Trinity and Carolina battled for fif teen innings to a scoreless tie, the game being called on account of dark ness. Never before was such a sterling exhibition of the' national pastime seen at the East Durham ball park, as was played there last Saturday. It was even more interesting, due to the fact that exactly 21 years have elaps ed since teams representing these two colleges have met. From the very beginning it could be seen that the game as to be a pitcher's battle between Wilson, for Carolina, and Southard, for Trinity, for nothing resembling a hit was se cured off either until the fourth. In only two innings, the fourth and fifth, did Trinity threaten to score, their failure being due to the master ful pitching of Wilson, who was all there in the pinches. Carolina's best chances came in the eighth, ninth and fifteenth. In the eighth, Lewis first up, singled to right and was sacri ficed by Bryant. Wilson fouled out Texas leaguer to left, Lewis being caught at the plate attempting to score on the hit. In the ninth, Powell singled, stole second and awaited the necessary hit which never came to bring him home. Again in the fif teenth Carolina threw a scare in the camp. Milton and Lewis were easy outs, but Bryant next ujp, singled and immediately stole second, Wil son was then hit in the head by a pitched ball. Younce, batting for Saunders, was walked, filling the bases. Herty, the next man up, was a victim of a freak occurrence. He ducked a dangerous pitch by South ard. Unfortunately his bat came in contact with the ball which rolled fair, making him an easy out. The features of the game were the stellar pitching of the opposing twirlers and the sensational fielding of both teams. The fielding features going to Wannamaker, Trinity's third sacker, who accepted nine chances without a bobble, and Herty, of Caro lina, who made an almost impossible catch of MacArthur's long high fly. (Continued on page 4) Commencement Debate Query is Announced The query for this year's com mencement debate reads as follows: Resolved, that with respect to immi gration and citizenship the United States should accord to the citizens of Japan and China the same privi leges extended to the citizens of Euro pean Nations. In selecting this query the com mittee has chosen one that is of the most vital importance in the United States and the entire world of today. This subject in itself will incite in terest in the debater. Since this debate is an inter Society one, and since this year was the time for the Phi to choose the side in the argument, the latter has chosen the negative. The Di will uphold the affirmative side. Each member of these two Societies are eligible to enter into this debate. There is much material at the dis posal of the contestants in this de bate. The present day magazines and newspapers are full of articles on this subject. Besides this, the' writers of the past half decade have been discoursing on this question of Japanese emigration. Neither Society has any edge on the other nor is either by any means handicapped. There is little doubt but what this shall be one of the most hotly contested and the most highly interesting of the commence ment Inter-Society Debates. William Starr .Myers, of the class of 1897, was voted the most popu lar member of the Princeton Uni versity faculty at the recent elec tions of the student body when vari ous members of the faculty were voted honorary positions. Professor Myers recently lectured at the Uni versity. clared their intention of trying out for this debate, and a warm contest is expected. The Phi Society has the privilege of choosing sides this year and their decision will be announced later.
