Pierson Talks To
Student Conference
.
Gives ' Interesting 'Address on "The
United States and the Carribbean.
- The University of North Carolina
was represented at the Southeastern
Students Conference on International
Relations in the person. of -Dr. W. W.
Pierson, of the Department of History.
The " conference was held recently at
the University of Georgia under the
auspices of the students and faculty
members of the University. Dr. Pier
son, who was one of the principal
speakers of the conference, spoke on
"The United States and the Carib-
T . it ---..,,
in discussing the : peculiar in
terests which the United States has in j
the Caribbean Dr. Pierson called at
tention to the fact that the Caribbean
Sea is for the United Staes what the
Mediterranean is for Europe; hence
he contended, the interest that has led
Great Britain to dominate Egypt is
the same that impels the United
States to the maintenance of sover
eignty over Porto Rico. In addition,
the speaker maintained that to these
geographic and stategic considerations
are to be added .the commercial and
financial significance of the area. Dr.
Pierson contended at length that , the
paramount concern of the United
States with the Caribbean 4s to grow
rather than to diminish.
In concluding his speech Dr. Pier
son suggested tne iormation 01 a
Latin American League of Nations,
which would share in the burden of
responsibility regarding the relation
of the United States to the Caribbean.

Notice
The secretary of the Debate Coun
cil requests that all candidates for the
two teams to represent Carolina in
the coming Freshman debates with
Davidson and Wake Forest report to
him as soon as possible. He can be
found in his office (201 Murphey )
every day at the chapel period. The
query to be debated is: "Resolved,
That the jury system should be abol
ished in civil cases." Both an affirm
ative and a negative team will be se
lected.
At the Carolina
Melodrama, action,; mystery, sus
pense are collected in the great pic
ture, "Chinatown Nights," which Par
amount made from the story by Sam
uel OrnitzV well known authority on
Chinese tongs of the United States.
"Chinatown Nights" reveals the in
timate little known side of the
Oriental underworld of the large
cities of the United. States, and into
it is woven a strange and absorbing
romance.
An excellent cast of players, head
ed by Florence Vidor, Wallace Beer
ry, and Warner Oland, enacts this
gripping drama 'which will be shown
at the Carolina theatre Monday of
next week. William A. Wellman,
the man who made such outstanding
motion picture successes as "Wings,1
"Legion of the Condemned," "Beg
gars of Life," and "Ladies ( of the
Mob," directed this picture. The
sets are actual repjicas of noted
scenes in New York's Chinatown,
famed in recent history as the center
f the fierce tong wars.
The story of "Chinatown Nights
centers around the struggle of two
leaders of Chinese factions for con
trol of the gambling rights in China
town. One of these, a strong, brutal
cynical white man, captures the love
of a white society woman who,
through this love, is dragged down
to the gutters of the underworld.
Seeing her so reduced, the wh.ite' man
realizes his love for her and, with
superhuman courage, he lifts her and
himself up again. .
"Chinatown Nights" is as strange
and unusual as the great, inscrutable
Chinese underworld with which it
deals. It is mysterious, awesome,, ab
sorbing in its revelations of what goes
on behind the doors of the sacred
joss houses, the opium dens and the
sinister meeting places of the tong
factions. '
Marriage Improves
Students' Grades
That marriage improves students'
grades is a real fact according to a
survey made on the campus of the
University of Washington.
The survey states that there are
plenty of married couples among the
student body of the. university, and
the chief advantage these students
find in their undergraduate marriages
is a tendency to settle down from the
gay college life and give greater at
tention to books. Quite - of ten both
husband and wife are still attending
classes, although sometimes just one
of the pair is able to.
"I think any boy or girl will be bet
ter off by getting married before
they've finished . their university
studies," , Joe Bowen, married varsity
football player, said.
"If I have anything to do," Tom
Barnhart, editor of the University of
Washington Daily, and married for
two years, said, "I can do it around
meal-time.' At home it's just- a case
of moving one chair from the study
.table to the dining room." -
"Being married has raised my
grades from C's to B's and B's to
A's," Barnhart said. -
At the University of Oregon Prof.
Herbert Howe, of the English depart
ment, would have all of his students
marry.
'All college students should be mar
ried before they enter college," he is
quoted. "If they were all. married
they would waste fewer evenings, and
marriage would be for the betterment
of scholastic standing."
Edwin Guthrie, psychology expert
at the university, said, "Intelligence
tests show that persons who get mar
ried have a higher intelligence rating."
Winners Announced
Mrs. John Burroughs, local Chapel
Hill matron, succeeded in placing
first . in the prize contest conducted
by the Carolina Dry Cleaners. Her
prize is a new Pontiac automobile.
O. B. Herring, G. E. Boudreau, and
T. E. Best came second, third, and
fourth respectively, winning for them
selves a. new Ford automobile, a ra
dio, and a cash prize of seventy-five
dollars.
The debate try-out held Thursday
night in 201 Murphey Hall resulted
in the selection of L. T. Bledsoe, of
Asheville; H. H. Hobgood, of Bunn;
and H. N. Brown, III, of Chapel Hill.
These men will represent the " Uni
versity in the debate with Harvard
University on the night of April 9. in
Gerrard Hall. The' Carolina team
will uphold the negative side of the
proposition that loyalty is the curse
of the American college; the Harvard
team, the affirmative. -
Taylor Bledsoe has for several
years been an outstanding figure in
the forensic and political life of the
University. In the field of debatirig
he is a veteran, having been a var
sity debater for six years.
H. H. Hobgood, who made his first
appearance as a' debater at Carolina
in the recent debate with Marquette
University, is a speaker .whose ability
is of the first magnitude. Last year
he won first place in the state-wide
high school oratorical contest. .
H. N. Brown, III, although he has
not represented the University in a
varsity debate :as yet, was a member
of the Freshman team three years
ago. He early distinguished himself
as a debater, however, "in the Dialectic
Senate a fact which is borne out by.
his ascension to the presidency of that
organization.
Harvard's unsurpassed prestige in
he field of debating together with
he excellence of the Carolina team
is expected to make this debate an
affair of paramount interest to the
entire campus.

There's a knightly warrior, immortalized by
Mr. Stephen Leacock, who under the stress of
intense excitement "mounted his horse and rode
away in all directions." Whether he ever ar
rived is not recorded.
To us, this giddy hero is a perfect example
of how not to make cigarettes, .e hold that a
cigarette is a smoke, and a. good smoke is a bless
ing, so to that end alqne have Chesterfields
been ripened, blended and manufactured.
Mild as they are, not a jot of the true, ricn
tobacco flavor has been lost. When the best
tobaccos on the market are bought you can
be certain they'll deliver the taste. Chesterfields
are as natural as a field of sweet clover;
and they satisfy the taste superlatively well,
always!
Once a man has checked up on the above
pleasant news, there'll be no "riding away .in
all directions" for him! .
