Wounds Oh. Head ; -
While In Coop With Chickens
An eminent, elderly profes
sor appeared on the campus re
cently with a deep skull wound
and explained the matter with
a curt, "That's what I get for
chasing: chickens Vf
The prof essor was subtly per
suaded to still the rumors of
scandal by telling the whole
story. ; -
There is some doubt; as to
just what the prof essor was do
ing in a chicken coop in the
dark, but he explained that it
was in answer to a proud cackle
that indicated the arrival of an
egg. The hen, it seems, was
merely playing as hens are in
the habit of doing and the
disappointed prof essor ran back
toward the house, carelessly
bumping his head on the door of
the chicken coop. The profes
sor said further that this proved
that the wound was due to ex
ternal influences only and not
to the expansion oi his brain.
The professor takes an ab
sorbing interest in his chickens
and names them with extreme
care. There is a Miss Cackle
less who, when she is properly
married, will be named Mrs.
Lay-more.
He further intimated that he
converses with his chickens in
the -morning to discover their
wants for the day, collect eggs,
and, primarily, to enable him
self to come gradually, thru as
sociation with them, to the men
tal level of his eight-thirty class.
His philological mind rebels at
the inability; of the chickens be
tween the transitive "lay" and
tjie intransitive "lie." He says
that they often cackle when
they have laid no eggs and are
an inveterate bunch of liars any
way. . ' "-,.

While at 'the University, Mr.

Murchison Criticizes
Federal Reserve for
Speculation Wave
(Continued from first page) -
to build up their reserve bal
ances. The situation has resulted in
Reserve notes becoming largely
a Jbond-secured currency, which
is not at all in accord with the
original intentions of the Fed
eral Reserve methods. This
marked tendency has its effect
in the noticeable decline of the
holdings of the eligible com
mercial paper and the great in
crease in the holdings of gov
ernment bonds.' :
The article brings out the er
ror and danger of 4he gold cer
tificate, giving rise to the state
ment that "If recourse to emer
gency withdrawal of the gold
certificates should become neces
sary in the future, in order to
gain greater gold efficiency, the
event would be practically cer
tain to weaken public confidence
in the soundness of the mone
tary structure."
Dr. Murchison emphasizes the
interrelation of the Federal Re
serve Bank with the market, al
leging that "in actual ; practice
open market operations supply
from 20 to 30 per cent of the Re
serve bank portfolios." This
makes a detached point of view
on its part impossible, and, so
far from offering a stabilizing
influence the bank's control
seems as ineffectual as the mar-

be said of the effectiveness of
the Reserve banks during the
recent panic period, their total
ineffectiveness - in checking the
course of events which led to the
panic is a matter of record."
The article closes with " the
suggestion that the market
should -be made self -balancing,
and adds that our financial prob
lems are by no means settled, in
spite of the stock market col
lapse and the return of easy
money, 1 he suggestion is made
also that more liquid credit be
the chief objective for 1930.
"Our greatest danger is a
credit shortage from" frozen
credits and gold exports, with
out compensatory advantage
from expanding business." And
in conclusion this statement is
elaborated upon with: "It is
clearly.no time to have a fourth
of our gold supply tied up in
cumbersome gold certificates,
half of our reserve credit rest
ing on the ownership or collat
eral of government bonds and
the safety margin of Federal
Reserve lending power chroni

Extension N ews
Announces Dates
School Contests
(Continued from first page)
garding the matter of the parti
cipation of their high schools
and regarding the number of
pupils whom they will have to
enter the different contests."
The announcement also lists a
number of general and particu
lar instructions governing' the
procedure of the competition.
Under "general regulations" it
is stated that, 1. The contests
will be conducted in all cases
under the direct supervision of
the superintendents, high school
principals, or teachers -in the
schools ; 2. The tests in all of
these contests will be forwarded
from Chapel Hill to the indivi
dual schools in sealed envelopes,
which are not to be opened- until
the time when the examinations
are given; 3. It will be neces
sary in each case that the indi
idual student give a pledge stat
ing that no help has been given
or received on the test; 4.
Superintendents, principals, or
teachers in charge of the con
tests will give assurance to the
committee that the contests have
been properly conducted and
that all of the regulations and
conditions pertaining to the con
tests have been adhered to."
Furthermore, the papers, as
they are sent in, will be graded
by faculty members of the vari
ous University departments. The
University extensfon division
will provide for the award of a
trophy cup to each of the four
high schools whos students sub
mit the best papers. Honorable
mention will be given "ta several
schools whose students submit
the next best papers.
Competition in "the Latin,
Spanish, and mathematics con
tests is limited to sudents in the
sophomore, junior and senior
classes. However, the French
contest "is intended only for sta.
dents in second year French who
have had no special advantages
nor private instruction in the
language."
The examinations in the Ian
guages will be of a practical
nature, enabling the students to
show what facility they have ac
quired in handling vocabulary
grammar, construction and
reading. The scope of the math
ematics examination will include
tests in arithmetic, algebra and
plane geometry.
February 28 is the date set
for the Latin contest throughout
the state. AH schools desiring
to enter must notify the com.

lows : French March 14, March
10 and March 21 ; Spanish

mathematics contest.
