Roberts of Pennsylvania, as Supreme Court Justice, today was in marked contrast to the rejection of Judge John J. Parker, the first nominee for the viacant chair. The'Senate spent eight days debat ing the Parker nomination, finally re jecting the North Carolina jurist. Today it confirmed Roberts without a single word of opposition or a dis senting vote. The contrast mav prove much or nothing, but the general opinion in Washington is that the notable rec ord made by Roberts as tjie people's attorney in prosecution of the oil fraud case is responsible for lack of protests. The nomination was held up for ten days, and not a single protest came to the senate. —;-. Vision of Mars In “No, No, Nanette“ What is probably the farthest flight of fancy ever made in any motion picture is the Martian scene in “No, No Nanette,” thj screen mu sical show at the Red Springs Thea tre next Monday and Tuesday. This scene, laid on the Red Planet, is of course purely imaginary, but in a number of its details it is based upon all the data that Director Clarence Badger and Art Director Anton Grot could scrape together on the subject of the mysterious heav enly body which has been the cause of so much controversy. Is Mars inhabited? And, if so, is it inhabited by beings like ourselves? Some very eminent scientific men-- including the late Professor Percival Lowell of the Flagstaff (Arizona) Observatory—have returned affirma tive answers to both these questions. And when it was decided that “No. No. Nanette” should include a Ma- tian sequence, made in Technicolor, Badger and Grot began their re searches with professor Lowell’s fa mous book, “Mars As the Abode of Life.” The observations of Schiapar elli, who first discovered the puz zling markings on the surface of Mars which are supposed to be canals, were ransacked for theories and speculations as to what Mars must look like at close range. But science really knows very lit tle, after all, about Martian condi tions; and the Martian scene in “No, No, Nanette” represents an imagina tive effort comparable with that which produced H. G. Wells’ sensa tional novel, “The War of the Worlds” describing a future invasion of our planet by the Martians. Creative writers have long been fascinated by this subject—witness, besides Wells’ book, George du Maurier’s famous tale, “The Martian,” and “A Mes sage From Mars,” the celebrated play in which the late Charles Hawtrey won his brightest laurels as an actor. The strange beings and backgrounds shown in the Martian sequence of “Nanette” are as authentic as the present state of science will permit; but the men who made it were obliged to let their fancy run riot, and the results are startling and bi zarre. Laurinburg Man New Highway Commissioner Raleigh, May 17.—Governor Gard ner yesterday appointed James L. McNair of Laurinburg as sixth dis trict highway commissioner to suc ceed the late W. C. Wilkinson of Charlotte. McNair is the son and successor of the late John F. Mc Nair, banker, manufacturer, merchant and farmer. It is understood that the office will be continued in Char- lot te. The Flora Macdonald College commencement exercises were ushered in Sunday*' morning with the baccalaureate sermon by Dr. R. A. Lapsley, Jr., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Columbia, South Carolina, to the graduating class. The sermon, preceded as it was by the solemnity of the acad emic procession, was a fitting end to the regular activities of the college year. Selecting the Sth verse of the sixty-fourth chapter of Isaiah as his text, But now, 0 Jehovah, thou art our Father - we are the clay, and Thou art our potter,” Dr. Lapsley made an earnest plea to the graduating class to make their lives' as clay in their service to God, the great potter of us all. Vesper Services i‘ - On Sunday evening at six-thirty o’clock vesper services were conduct ed by Doctor Vardell i n the Wood land Theatre. Doctor Vardell made an excellent and straightforward talk to the young ladies, using as his central theme, “Comfort,’’ and gave them many helpful thoughts to carry home and into the world with thear. “Be a comfort,” not a joy killer to those with whom you come in con tact, was Doctor .Vardell’s parting plea to the graduates. Sermon Before F. M. C. A. At eight o’clock Sunday night Rev. F. Campbell Symonds, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Fayette ville, preached the annual sermon to the Flora Macdonald Christian Asso ciation at the Presbyterian church. He took as his text Luke 22:27, “I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.” Concert. On Monday evening the annual con cert by the students of the school of music was given. The program was of a very high order and reflected much credit upon the students and upon the instructors in this depart ment of the college work. Baby Show. Tuesday morning at 10:30 a Flora Macdonald baby show, which proved to be one of the most attractive fea- ; tures of the commencement, was put on in the college gymnasium. About twenty-five babies were present. A blue ribbon was to be presented the most perfect baby, but they were all such fine specimens that a deci- sion could not be made as. to . the I most perfect, so a ribbon was pinned ion each one. Alumna e Luncheon The annual F. M. C. Alumnae luncheon was held in the hut on the Fresbyterian church grounds with over 100 members present, imme diately following the baby show.

FLETCHER NOW HEADS ROTARY S7TH DISTRICT Dr. Roscoe McMillan Seconds Nomi nation of Washington Man; Evinced True Rotary Spirit. Th e fourth annual conference of the fifty-seventh District of Rotary International was held in Winston- Salem last week, beginning Wednes day night. At the morning session Thursday Maynard 0. Fletcher, presi dent of Washington Collegiate Insti tute, Washington, N- C., was unani mously chosen District Governor to succeed Henry R. Dwire, of Winston- Salem. Doctor Roscoe McMillan of Red Springs who had been prominently mentioned in pre-conference discus sions as a candidate for District Governor, seconded Mr. Fletcher’s nomination and moved it be made unanimous. This action on the part of _ Doctor McMillan came as a sur prise to his many friends and sup porters. The step was taken by Doc tor McMillan in the true spirit of Rotary, “Service Above Self,” in order to avoid a contest on the gov ernorship between the two sections of the district. The extreme eastern section o fthe district has never been represented by a district governor and jm-ther contest between this Bectun and the more we-te.n section would (leave undoubtedly brought on a bitter fight in the convention for r?- cognh cn.
