ATTORNEYS EXPRESS OPINIONS REGARDING DISMEMBERMENT CASE Opinion Differs As To Outcome ' of Action Against Two Railroads. Wide differences of opinion are being; •>1 expressed by leading; lawyers of the •tate as to the probable outcome of the action begun by the. state against the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Rail way to compel the two roads to obey the court'order directing that the Cape Pear & Yadkin Valley railorad be op erated as an individual railroad, ac - cording to news reaching this city from Raleigh. In some Quarters it is held that too long a time has elapsed since the dis • siembcrment of the road for effective action, but on the other hand it is « pointed out that Federal courts have held differently. .. Whether the clause in the charter of the Coast Line giving power to take over railroads, either “in whole or In part," conferred by the legislature will Serve lib stop the state’s action is an other point that lawyers make against ' the case. However, it is said that the Federal court might hold that a state legislative act cannot circumvent a federal court order. Railroad attorneys view the matter from widely different angles. A Ra leigh paper says a leading Southern Railway attorney is quoted as saying that anybody could have.the Southern end of the line without suit, if they wanted it.- he same paper says the A C. L., fearful of competition in Wil mington, would probably view the mat ter differently, and fight the action vigorously. --- BICYCLE PARADE i WILL BE STAGED! ■ - i City Commissioners Grant Per-' mission for Blocking Market!

CHAPEL HILL, May 17.—The stu dents of the University have voted to create a body known as the Publication Union, which, acting through a board of five members, will supervise the management of the three main stud ents’ publication, the Tar Heel, the Carolina Magazine, and the Yackety Yack. The scheme provides for a "blanket fee, to be paid by each stu dent, for which he will receive all three publications at a cost of not more than half of what he has to pay at pre sent subscription rates. The vote was about 7 to 1 in favor 'of the plan. For a long time the student publi oations have constituted a trouble some problem here. Each publication has paddled its own canoe. Sometimes it has been managed well, sometimes badly, according to the ability of the individual manager. Opinion has been growing that there ought to be some central agency t,o assume responsibility A committee was formed a year or so ago, to study the subject. Information was gathered from some of the largest institutions in the country—Yale. Midi igan. Illinois, Columbia and others. This information, and the experience ■with athletics here, convinced the com mittee that the solution of the problem lay in an executive board of manage ment and a “blanket fee.” Three of the members of the board are to be students elected by the stu dents, and two are to be members of the faculty appointed by the jpresident of- they University. This board selects the managers and is charged with gen eral supervision over the conduct of the three publications.

Alumni home-coming day at State college promises to be one o fthe big features of commencement, according to Tal Stafford, alumni secretary. Who stated yesterday that in addition to a large percentage of the members of the seven classes due this year for reun ions, quite a number of other Tech alumni would journey back to West Raleigh for the finals. The first graduating class, that of 1893, will hold a reunion thjs year just 30 years after graduation. Other classes holding re'unions are 1898, 1908, 1908, 1913, 1918 and 1922. Arrange ments have been made to quarter visit ing alumni in the new South dormitory. The class of 1908 has reserved an en tire section and plans to hove in on the 27th. For two davs the old-timers will live over again their college days. As far as practicable, Mr. Stafford states, members of reunion classes will be quartered in the same dormitory section. The tentative plans for alumni day, Monday. May 28i call for a meeting of the General Alumni association at 9:3# in the morning. Officers to serve for the next year will be elected and other important business brought to the at tention of the alumni. At 1:30 the an nual alumni barbecue will be served on the campus with Frank T. Meacham, class of 1893, assisted by L. H. Harris, the college steward, in charge. The barbecue has been held for the last two years, and it is one of the most enjoyable events on the program. At 3:30 in the afternoon ’varsity teams of State and Carolina will play at Riddick field. The Techmen have lost two games already to the Tar Heels, and while the game is staged es pecially for the alumni and will have no bearing whatever on the champion ship standing of either team, the Red and White is expected to make every effort to close the season with a victory over its greatest rival. The annual alumni smoker will be held in the college dining hall in the evening at 10 o'clock immediately fol lowing the senior class orations in Pullen hall., Hugh M. Curran, class of 1898, farm f^rsetry expert o fthe North Carolina extension service, will be the principal speaker at the smoker. Throughout the day there will be concerts by the college band and class stunts by the various classes. claims for southern honors. Today all Trinitj' students turned their attention to the final name with Carolina on Alumni day—June »5»—at commence ment. All that intervenes before this contest is final examinations. "They beat us.” said Jeff Johnson, Trinity's .'Veteran first baseman, and one of the most consistent players on the club, “that fellow Buschee is Just a real good pitcher.” Sanderson's sensational smack for a home run was the feature of the game being commented, upon most. Players declared that the ball was said to have gone farther than by Cobb's famous circuit drive on the same diamond. The sphere cleared centerfteld fence and did the disappearing act over a house be yond. The circuit smack counted for two of Trinity’s runs. Final examinations start at Trinity next Monday and Coach Steiner will probably let up In practice until after exams. Exhibition contests mav be arranged to keep the team in form for the Carolina game on June 6. Regular and stiff practice will be the order St the day for a week before the Carolina battle.

Chemical Research Constantly Reveals New Uses For Woodj Chemical research is revealing: new uses for wood that were not dreamed of a few years ago, declares the Forest Service, in an artible in the 1922 Year book of the' United States Department ol' Agriculture, entitled “Timber: Mine or Crop?” “The age of wood has not been left behind us—it may well lie ahead of us,” the bulletin states in calling atten tion to the great progress made in re cent years in the utilizing of wood waste and to the new uses of -wood which are constantly beiug discovered. “One example of the extension of wood uses,” states the article, "is .the expanding use of pulp wood not only for paper products of various kinds i but also for fibre containers, waliboard, and similar forms of material, and re cently even for making actual artifi cial boards. The chemical utlliatlon of wood for th£ production of various by products is still in its infancy: the next few years may see the use of wood for the production of alcohol on a large scale to take the place of gasoline. Wood is already used for the manu facture of artificial silk, rope, and car pets and other fabrics.” Copies of the Yearbook seperate con taining the article may be secured fre?j upon application to the Division of j Publications, United States Department j of Agriculture, Washington, D.
