The fourth anniversary of the Publix-Saenger Theatres, of winch the Carolina Theatre is a representative, will begin next week and last for a month. The Publix-Saenger Theatres company was r organized four years ago by H. F. kincey and PL B. Wilby.

This organization was the first to install " talking pictures in North Carolina. In keeping with the policy to give the pub lic the best pictures at the small est cost, the company has affili ated with the Paramount-Publix-Company which enables it to buy films cheaper than an individual company ; this affiliation enables the company to get films sooner than it would otherwise. The Publix-Saenger organiza tion has its headquarters in Greensboro, with Mr. Kincey as general manager. The company was fortunate in obtaining the services of M. S. Hill as field manager a year ago. Mr. Hill is now known as one of the big gest showmen in the country, and his personality has won for him many friends in this section as well as over the state According to E. Carrington Smith, manager of the local Publix-Saenger Theatre, the com pany will soon show the greatest line .of moving pictures ever presented in any theatre during one month: Some of the films listed for the anniversary' month' are: Clara Bow in "True to the Navy;" "Journey's End;" Bud dy Rogers in "Safety in Num bers ;" Billie Dove in "The No torious Affair;" Richard Bar thelmess in?"Son of the Gods;" Buster Keaton in "Free and Easy;" and -other of the best films.

C THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1930 SAVILLE CLOS TAYM SEASON Speaks To Club On Power Plant Management As Industrial Factor. Presenting a paper, 'Tower Plant Management as a Iroblem of Industrial Management," Thorndike Saville spoke before the University student branch of the Taylor Society Tuesday ev ening at its last r meeting of the year. In his paper Mr. Saville, who is professor of hydraulic ; and sanitary engineering at the Uni versity and chief engineer of the state department of "Con servation and Development, pre sented an impartial discussion of the merits of the two sources of power for industrial organiza tions, purchase from a public utility and: generation in a pri vate power plant. Because of the rapid advance ment of motorization during; re cent years and the growth in the use of electricity, electrical power was the only kind consid ered in the paper. 1 Professor Saville discussed the relative advantages of the two methods and described con ditions under which it would be more economical to use one or the other source. ; V r "The decision on which source of power to resort to is a mat ter which - requires a great amount of careful analysis of many-complicated factors by both the industrial managershd the most expert consulting en gineers available," stated the speaker. Many combinations of the two methods are available for use under different conditions, but the most economical combination can be determined only after a complete study of the conditions has been made. In offering an analysis of the two methods of supplying power, Professor Saville discussed the factors which should be investi gated before an organization de cides to purchase its power from a public utility. In a like man ner he spoke of the three sources of power that can be used in a private power plant of an organ ization which decides to gener ate its own power. In conclusion, Professor Sa vihV stated that "the decision on which source of power should be used is one requiring much careful "analysis of many com plicated factors by men expert in this line of engineering. The meeting Tuesday evening brought to a close the year's ac tivities for the local branch of the Taylor Society, the inter national organization for the promotion of scientific manage ment. During the winter and spring quarters a series of out side speakers have presented papers before the group on sub jects related to scientific man agement!

ES RARE ZOOLOGICAL BOOK MJND HERE Miss Alma Holland of Zoology Department Is Responsible For Discovery. While reading an apparently authentic biographical sketch of Dr. John Edwards Holbrook, a distinguished Charleston natur alist living in the early part of the last century, Miss Alma Hol land of the clerical staff of the botany ; department noted the reference to Holbrook's North American Herpetology as a fine monograph well known to zoolo gists everywhere. The first edition; said the emi nent biographer, writing from the Smithsonian Institution to the National Academy, appeared in three volumes. Following her bent for meticulous care in veri fication, Miss Holland proceeded to the department of zoology wiiere she found that Holbrook's North American Herpetology had; been long held as a prized poisessiori. But they handed her four volumes. . There was an obvious conflict between fact and statement. The four volumes were evidently of the first edition, but the fourth volume did not exist, ac cording to what , seemed the best bibliographical authority. The problem was soon solved by correspondence with the Smithsonian Institution, from which source it was learned that the rare fourth .volume had been unknown to the s geher ally very reliable author of the biographi cal sketch at the time of his writing and that there was still no copy of it in the libraries in Washington ; there was believed to be one in the library of the 'Academy of Sciences in Phila delphia.

NUMBER 182 To Head Liberal Arts College; Holds Same Position Here. FACULTY HARD HIT Hibbard Has Gained National Prominence For Literary and Educational Work. HIS CAREER REVIEWED It was announced yesterday that Deari Addison Hibbard; of the College of Liberal Arts; was resigning his position in the University to take effect at the end of this quarter. Beginning July 1, he will take the position Arts at Northwestern Univer sity. Mr. .Hibbard is the fourth full professor to be lost to the English; department next yean Twenty-nine professors have left in the last two years, and Mr, Hibbard;' is the ninth to leave Vt' this time. Mr. Hibbard received .final word of his appointment to the deanship at Northwestern Tues day afternoon. He will devote his full time to the position next year, and teaching will be op tional. What makes the hew po sition so attractive is that Northwestern has a retiring al lowance for all professors: - The University of North Carolina does not have such a fund and when a ; professor no longer teaches he is cut off from any further 'income. . - In addition, Northwestern has shown a great desire to make progress in undergraduate in- L ' xTt :jL lx uctiuii. xyvh vmy una uu: desires, but its extensive re sources give it the where-with-all to accomplish . its undertak ings. It is but recently that a gift of $8,500,000 was received by the University for improve ment in instruction, particular ly in the College of Liberal Arts. Large . scholarship funds bring students from many sections of the country to Evahstown, Illi nois, to attend Northwestern, Plans are now underway for building new dormitories and recitation buildings so that the University will be able to ac commodate more students and have better facilities for teach ing. Mr. Hibbard's widespread ex periehces, his literary ' ability," his excellent work as Dean' of the College of Liberal Arts, and his liberal views as an educator have gained for him a national reputation. . It is, because of this reputation, 1 most of which has beeri" gained in r the . last four years, that Northwestern pick ed him to head the most impor tant unit of the University. Born forty-three rears ago in-' a' small town in Wisconsin, Mr. Hibbard attended the Universi tv of Wisconsin arid graduated in 1908 with' an A. B. degree. He theri went to Japan and spent five years in the Orient. From 1909: to 1914 he was professor of English at the Imperial Col lege of Commerce in Nagasaki, japan; He returned to "the; Uni- sition of iristructor in English: ill liiiu auu - j. .- the same' time! his VL A. degree. For the next two years Mr. Hib bard was assistant professor of English at Miami - University.
