This is a WPA l project The state sponsors the proj- i ect and furnishes 50<r of the funds; 1 the remaining financial needs will be ' taken care of under the Works Prog- < ress Administration. Xewland was moved away from its 3 former site last week, and WPA em- J ployees, under the supervision of 4 'T^ck' Benfield. immediately began 3 excavation. 1 Blueprints show that the structure will be 40 feet wide and 192 feet i long with three stories and a small < "basement, the latter being intended I for heating facilities. Upon comple- * tion, the dormitory will house more t students than any other dwelling for men on the campus. It will contain 5 77 rooms, with the dimensions of i 12x16 feet. t Insofar as conveniences are con- I cerned. the dormitoiy will be ar- * ranged on a plan similar to Justice | Annex. Bvery two rooms will have ! 1 connecting bath rooms containing j showers, lavatories and other health facilities. The building will be of brick con- } struct ion. Several shipments of a building materials have already been 1 received, and brick laying is expected t to be under way in the next few 1 weeks. a Water ami electnc lichts will be 1 furnished by the college water system and the New River Light and Power <: Company.

I I S\rrn or H-P I> | PRESIDENT SIGNS WAGES-AND-HOURS BILL. Washington, June 27.?President Roosevelt has signed the wage-hour bill, thereby giving the "go ahead'" signal for a vast experiment in rutting a "floor*' under pay rates and "ceiling' over hours. The signing was done without fanfare Saturday, hut was not announced by White House officials until to?ay. The act will go into operation October 24. On that date, officials said, some 200,000 persons receiving less than 25 cents an hour are to have then pay increased to 25 cents. Whether any court fight over the act will delay its operation has yet to be determined, however. The act provides for the appointment of a wage-hour administrator, and well-informed officials said they expected the President to fill this aost before he starts on his trip to the west July 7. The act applies to industries in .ntersiate commerce, with some exceptions. They will be required to iay a minimum wage of 25 cents an mur during the first year after Ocober 24. During the second year and five subsequent years the wage rate nuiimum will be 30 cents, ami at j jit clru <?i seven years axter iae act j voes into effect the flat minimum vill be 40 cents ? SEMNANTS OF LEE S ARMY MOVES ON GETTYSBURG Atlanta, June 27.?Seventy-five ears ago today a Confederate Lrmy closed in on Gettysburg- for the >attle that was to turn the tide of he War Between the States?today ne remains of that gray host moved igain toward the Pennsylvania ham St. But what contrasts three-quarters ?f a century has wrought! Then the southerners were mote han 70.000 strong, young. _ind lushed with many victories as they /loved strongly into enemy termor-/ o tent a liJ.ue barrier that held. Today oiuv 300 to 400 . mustered strength to climb aboard Puilmans ind ride again to meet the- "boys in ilue,'* this time in a friendly joint reunion that long has been the iream of many on l>oth sides. Hands that held muskets and sabres so firmly in 1863 clung to 'lilies today, and, instead of marchng beside fellow fighters, thoy rode mder the watchful eye a of young iompaninna?in offering free trans>ortation to the old soidiers, the Federal government stipulated each ihould be accompanied by an aide. When the forces under General -ee and General Meade collided on our days from July 1-4 in 1863 the ighting was as fierce as any the vorid had seen, and about 50,000 of he 150,000 engaged were killed, rounded or captured. There probably will be casualties it Gettysburg this time, too, but. hey will be exacted by illness and ge, not bullets. Officers of the Southeastern Pasenger association announced today eservations for 314 veterans and a ike number of attendants were listid in its territory, south of the Ohio ind Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi. Last minute changes in dans may alter these figures. In this sector Georgia was expected to send the largest delegation of veterans, 63. Reservations listed for >ther states included: Florida. 48; Mississippi, 42; Alabama, 32; North Carolina, 35; South Carolina, 19; Fennfjsse, 31; Kentucky. 16; Virginia, 14. Arkansas is expected to send line and Louisiana 15. Many of the Pullmans started north cday, others go tomorrow. The eterans will reach Gettysburg June 19. The ceremonies will not. start intil July 1. giving- the veterans time x> rest. The reunion officially will be over July 4. But departure date las been set for July 6, again allowing time for rest before the home journey. At Gettysburg each veteran and bis attendant will be assigned to an individual tent, with a board floor and electric lights. Sprinkled among the southern veterans?not all of whom served in Lee's army which fought at Gettysburg?will be several TJhion soldiers who live in the south. Florida, in particular, will send several who wear the badge of die G.A.R. Eleven of the chemical elements make up 99 and one-half per cent of the earth's crust. Why Suffer With Colds-Pain?

SPORT COMMENT (By Russell Atkins and Shelton Dugger) The Cleveland Indians continue to defeat everything in the American League. Last week they took a series from the champion New York Yankees, who at the present are having a difficult jcb hanging onto second place. Johnny Allen, known for hi* tempera meatless as well as pitching ability, and Earl Averi'l. slugging centerfielder, arc largely responsible for Cleveland's successful pennant drive. However, the entire team has played splendid baseball. Johnny Humpries. ex-ace of the University of North Carolina pitching stuff, has turned in several good relief jobs on the mound; Oscar Vitt, tribe manager, has apparently applied the spark which was needed to , bring a pennant to Cleveland.

Home of the local fans have recently expressed the opinio!! that "Dizzy"' Dean, Chicago's $180,000 addition to their pitching staff, will riot hurl again this season. It is very improbable that smart Branch Rickey would have parted with Dean if he had been up to par physically. The Cincinnati Reds have just climaxed a great drive by landing in second place. The Reds .have a fine team of youngsters, but they will probably not be able to muster enough power to win the Nations! flag. BOXING After the defeat and massacre of acmnenng w eanesoay rugni. max Baer has a very slight chance to beat Joe Ixjus in their September bout. At the present Detroit's chocolate bar is the undisputed champion of the fistic world, and Baer has at times been anything but a gTeat fighter. However, judging from his recent performances against Farr and others, the September scrap will probably last longer than the four rounds that Baer fought against Ixtuis in 1935. After Baer had floored Schmeling arid Frimo Canera. he was styled as the successor to Dempsey, the all-time king of maulers. However, after being defeated by Braddock and Ixruis, his prestige sank to a low level. He has regained much of this prestige in his recent fights and may become again the rugged scrapper that he once was TENNIS Helen Wills Moody.
