Senate.
The Dialectic Senate, started
off the quarter with a well at
tended meeting last night, the
feature of which was the inau
gural addres s of President
Beatty Rector. Giving a brief
history of the founding and of
the early years of the senate, he
cited the names of famous men
who have been affiliated in the
past with it, mentioning those of
William R. Davie, James K. Polk
and William R. Kenan. Empha
sis was placed upon the pres
tige and position of importance
which the senate held in former
times. Turning then to present
conditions, President Rector de
plored the lack of interest and
participation in the activities of
the organization. "What we
need, Senators, is not merely or
ganization, but vitalization," em
phatically declared the presi
dent, and illustrated the state
ment with references to Lin
coin's Gettvsburer address. He
informed the senate of a visit
made in accordance with the
constitution, to the graves of
former Di Senators, and told of
inspiration which had there
come to him. He appealed to
each Senator to cooperate to the
fullest extent in the undertak
ings of the organization.
In outlining the work for the
present quarter, President Rec

tained : the fulfillment of the con
stitution and its requirements,
hanging of an additional num
ber of pictures on the senate
walls, and hearty cooperation
with the Phi Assembly in carry
ing out any and all projects. He

and of the activities so attrac
tive that non-members will be

Dog Owners Pay Costs
Louis Sherfesee and Frank
Chamberlain were each assessed
with costs of an action taken
against them last week as a re
sult of the Chapel Hill dog ordi
nance, at Monday's session of
the recorder's court.
Both were charged ,with al
lowing dogs to run about without
muzzles and each of them plead
ing guilty, was assessed $5.80.
Sherfesee possessed what the
arresting officer called "a little
bittie W," and claimed that he
had been unable to purchase a
muzzle small enough.
Chamberlain owned an aged
and genial collie who had learned
to remove a muzzle his master
had purchased for him. Insist
ing that his collie was the most
harmless of dogs, Chamberlain
testified that his pet had been
inoculated against rabies.
The Chapel Hill dog ordi
nance, providing for a fine of
$50 to be levied against the
owners of unmuzzled dogs, had
been unenforced for some time
until a large police dog owned
by a local druggist, caused much
trouble by biting children. Po
lice are determined that there
shall be no recurrence.

Average Of 350.000 Gallons Of
Water Used Daily In Chapel Hill
Outside of air, water is prob
ably the most extravagantly used
of the common resources of na
ture, but no freshman who finds
that there is no hot water when
he comes to take a bath after a
workout. in the gym would be
lieve that there are twelve mil
lion two hundred and fifty gal
lons of this commodity used at
Chapel Hill per month. The rec
ords kept at the filtering plant
show a daily average of three
hundred and eighty-six thous
and gallons for last month while
the preceding month the average
was four hundred thirty-seven
gallons per day. This difference
is caused by the absence of the
students during the spring holi
days. So the freshman whose
mother used to have such a hard
time getting him to wash his
ears during his grammar and
high school days can now tell her
that he not only helps to use

Dr. Prouty Tells Of
Work During Summer
At Sigma Xi Meeting
, In his talk before the Sigma
Xi scientific society recently,
Dr. W. F. Prouty told of work
which he carries on during sum
mer and recess periods concern
ing the nature and relation of
the various Triassic deposits of
eastern United States and of the
Durham Basin in particular.
He pointed out that, with the
exception of slightly different
types of sediments and struc
ture, the great similarity in re
gard to the general character
istics warrant the conclusion
that all are structurally related
knd have a similar geological
history. He pointed out that
structures to be found in rock
formations are traceable to sedi
ments and disintegration of ra
dio active minerals in the Pied
mont area during the late Pale
ozoic time. Later cooling and
settling brought about shrink
age and block-faulting. .
Dr. Prouty also summarized
results of recent studies of Ser
pentine . (marble) deposits in
Maryland and Pennsylvania. The
source of the silica found in the
mineralization of the serpentine
wall rock was- concluded to be
hydro-thermal alteration from
active vein solutions.

McCarthy Talks At
Sigma Xi Meeting
The following summary by
Dr. G. R. McCarthy incorporates
the substance of an address made
recently before the Sigma Xi
scientific society.
A preliminary study of the
Atlantic Coastal Sands based
upon about 120 specimens col
lected along the outer beaches
from the northern end of Long
Island to Cape Look Out has
shown several interesting fea
tures. In all cases the average
size of the sand particles de
creased southward from each of
the chief breaks in the coast
line, i. e., New York Harbor,
Delaware Bay, and Chesapeake
Bay. The coarsest sands are
found a short distance south of
these openings, the sands grow
ing progressively finer as one
moves soutnwara aiong tne
coast. It was also noted that in
the immediate vicinity of each
of these breaks in the coastline
the sands were coarser than
slightly farther away, the grad
ual decrease: in size mentioned
above not being in evidence for
10 to 20 miles.
This latter feature is ex
plained as an effect of the scour
of the tidal currents sweeping in
and out of the bays, the finer
materials being washed away
first, leaving the coarser sands
behind. The gradual increase
southward was interpreted as an
effect of the shore currents
which move southward along
the Atlantic coast, the moving
sands being worn smaller in pro
