Part of the cost will be borne by the University, part by the ,U. D. C, and part by the state historical commission. A swath through the woods near the A. W. Hobbs home in Glan don Forest shows where the old road ran. It passed by the ceme tery and on westward. The marker will probably be placed somewhere near the Graham Memorial. - Dr. J. Lee Richmond, 72, one of the first great baseball stars of the country, and lately dean of men . of the University of Toledo, died recently from a stroke. In 1880, when he was the highest paid pitcher in or ganized baseball, Richmond pitched a game against the Cleveland Nationals in which no batter reached first base. "However," observes Arthur Bris bane, "we have plenty of gold left." What do you mean we? Macon Tele graph, y m THE DAILY Start on Hard Courts Athletic Authorities Hope to Have Them Completed by Mid-April The University athletic au thorities have authorized the construction of four all-weather courts, and J. F. Kenfi eld, ten nis coach, expects to have them completed by the middle of April if he has a fairly good break on weather. The hard surface is to be laid on the lower-level courts nearest the dormitories east of the campus. A. D. Browne, alumnus of the University, now director of phy sical education at Peabody Col lege in Nashville, will come here for a week to superintend the ap plication of the final coat of oil. Mr. Browne built the Peabody courts which Coach Kenfield went to inspect recently. He had a good deal to do with work ing out the mixture which makes this type of all-weather court so much less costly than the more familiar cement. First a foundation of crushed stone is put down. This is treat ed with gravity flux oil poured on while hot. Before jthe oil cools cedar sawdust is spread upon it, and then the mixture is pressed down by a heavy roller. This produces a surface which has a "give" to it something akin to cork. Not only is it cheaper than cement, but, Mr. Kenfield thinks, is much better. The lines are painted on in white. The cost of upkeep is almost I nothing. The courts can be played on within a few minutes after a -hard rain. And the composition is not affected at all by frost. Clipped (Continued from page two) an American College to be dif ferent from all the rest, some do make the effort. Duke Univer sity and the University of North Carolina are expected to be much unlike, but this does not justify an unseemly spirit of antagonism. Many good and true Method ists are loyal to each of these universities, and some are deep ly devoted to' both. The Meth odist church is committed to the local church and every religious undertaking at Chapel Hill, the same as in church and religious work at Durham. Both institu tions are fine fields for religious work. In the course of years these two great" universities are destined to make this section one of the notable student cen ters of America and thus be come a center of world-power. Why. should not the Methodists, the followers of the scholar of Oxford, be greatly interested in Carolina? We would insist that every encouragement be given the stu dents and that all friends of both universities, as well as all well-wishers of education, do their utmost to make secure the best of fellowship and good will between Carolina and Duke. Engaged in a common task and having to do so largely with youth of a common heritage and a similar destiny, we are un able to see any justification for the show of an unseemly spirit by the followers of these two uni versities. N. C. Christian Ad vocate. The University of Nevada, Reno. Possibly the worst loca tion for a university in America, since Reno is the last stand of organized disbelief in morality. Clarence H. Mackay, of the Postal telegraph, who took his millions from Nevada's great Comstock silver lode, is the pa tron saint of the university. Mr. Steele Is Here Wilbur Daniel Steele arrived from New York Tuesday and is with his family in the Green law house. TAR HfSEL Readers' Opinions (Continued from page two) revealed not the wolf but the ass. Seriously, Durant submitted not one logical reply. He be came angry and dealt in person alities. College professors, he said, were a dry, obscure lot, who, because they had worked for their knowledge, were jeal ous of it, and therefore an tipathetical toward him and his "humanizers" who had simpli fied the professors',, secrets and were "giving" them away to laymen. In his rebuttal, Mumford casually laughed, named some human professors. H. M., how ever, made a serious slip in this rebuttal. If .he will glance over its second paragraph, he will note that he has left the impli cation that it is the drawing power of the professors that ac counts for the large increase in college enrollment. That this is in the main untrue,: I think the penetrating mind of Jones will immediately see. However, this apparent flaw may have had its purpose. In proving how dev astating was the effect on the brain produced by outline books, perhaps Mr. Jones was simply giving a personal example. EDGAR ADAMS NEELY, JR. NONCHALANT ENGINEERS Editor the Daily Tar Heel: As Will Rogers would say, this herejengineering school is getting right high-toned and culturous. Or in the more ele gant phraseology of the adher ents to the liberal arts idea cul ture has become the very essence of the engineering curriculum. The courses in English that are require(Lor each' and every engi neer are fast converting the en tire school into gentlemen of such polish, culture, and sophis tication as to make them the en vy of every -aspiring A.B. stu dent. No more can social climb ers of that school gaze with in eff able-scorn at their unen lightened brethren in the engi neering division. No more will students of the reformed school stoop to take issue with those so blind as to say the engineers are hopeless in a social way. Men of letters all. Business let ters, sales letters, letters of this and that no end. We wont go so far as to say there is anything in the rumor that one of these English courses follows a text of female authorship, though there is every evidence that this is the case. The circumstance never arises where an engineer is forced to light a Murad. Their easy non chalance is the result of much careful training in public speak ing. No student may take these courses without the full quota of technical courses. Register early and avoid the rush. A ENGINEER. At The Carolina When a beautiful girl counters a legitimate proposal of mar riage tendered by a handsome young man with such . a state ment as "I'll see thee hanged " things are bound to happen. And happen they do in "Tam ing of the Shrew" which comes to the Carolina theatre as the feature attraction Monday and likewise brings Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks to the screen together for the first time. From the opening shot to the final fadeout, ''Taming of the Shrew" is. just one long, glori Dr. J. P. Jones Dentist Office Over Welcome Inn Cafeteria ' Telephone 5761 : ous laugh. From the first mo ment gay but stubborn Petru- chio (Douglas Fairbanks) lays eyes upon his bride-to-be, the stormy, tempestuous Katherine (Mary Pickford) there ensues a battle of wits and wills. Lov ing her fiery temper, and in trigued by her defiant remark: sets about unceremoniously to tame the Shrew. To make things more complicated, he em ploys the very tactics that have won her the cognomen of "wild cat" throughout all Italy. How she resists, and how the ulti mate solution is worked out could only be told by Shakes peare. In this screen story of the Bard's immortal comedy, brought to the screen for the first time in the history of mo tion pictures by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, every bit of essential dialogue, comedy and striking situation has been left intact throughout produc tion. This was accomplished by Sam Taylor, the man who direct ed "Taming of the Shrew" and, before that, "Coquette," which established Miss Pickford as one ! of the greatest emotional act resses the screen has ever seen. Taylor succeeded in retaining all the humanness which char acterizes Shakespeare's works, and yet enhanced the scope of the play through the medium of the motion picture camera. Critics who have seen the "Taming of the Shrew" hail it as an achievement in sound- recording, thanks to the innova- j tions supplied by David Forrest, who was responsible for the microphone work on "Coquette." Among the featured players who support the two stars in the comedy are Joseph Cawthorn, Clyde Cook, Dorothy Jordan, Geoffrey War dwell and Edwin Maxwell.

Here is the definition : "The Realtor is a modern business man of progress who belongs to and works for his local, state and national asso ciations. He lives up to a Code of Ethics, abides by Arbitration decisions, is qualified to make appraisals based on a statewide standard, reaHs and supports his official magazine, does busi ness with 'signed listings on state-approved standard forms observes the standard schedule of fees, and boosts for his state and for his home town. He brings in newcomers, thereby enriching .the merchant, the banker, the worker and the farmer in his community, and increasing the wealth of his state. : "He diversifies his income re sources, buys and sells land, manages and leases property, makes appraisals, conducts a rental and exchange service, ar ranges loans, writes insurance, invests in and owns real estate himself. He is educated in the school of experience and in standard real estate courses. "He safeguards real property against unjust taxation and re presents the home-owner at the city hall, the courthouse, in the legislature and in congress. He conducts a well-manned, orderly, business-like office, and, uphold ing staunch integrity, employs upright salesmen, thereby being a true adviser to -the investor. He helps his salesmen by having them enroll in Realtor organiza tions. . "He is a subdivider who fore sees the contented citizen in a home of his own, who improves wisely, making good on his promises, who opens to the com munity a well-planned and a well-balanced development. "The Realtor is one whose services in the interest of his client do not cease when he has earned and received his fee, who prof its most because he serves unselfishly, who is kindly and God-fearing, a prophet of good will and optimism, and above all, a true citizen and a gentleman. May he live long and prosper!" Bank in
