The state of affairs in German politics today will be discussed in a lecture Thursday at 8 P.-M. in Gerrard hall by Dr. M. J. Bonn, professor of economics and director of the Institute of Finance at Handelschochschule in Berlin. Dr. Bonn will use as the title of his lecture "Econo mics and Politics in Modern Germany." Dr. Bonn has been lecturing in this country since 1914. He is leader of the Round Table at Williamston Institute of Poli tics, and recently has lectured at the Universities of Wiscon sin, California, Leland Stanford and Cornell. He served as economic expert at Versailles in 1919, and in the same capacity at Spa, Brussells, and Genoa in 1920-21. He is a member of the International Gold Commission of the .League of Nations, and a member of the Advisory board of the Commis sions of American Academy of Political and Social Science. While Dr. Bonn is in Chapel Hill he will be entertained at dinner by Dr. and Mrs. E. W Zimmerman. The former was a student of Dr. Bonn's at one time. After the lecture Thurs day evening the Department of Economics and Commerce will tender a smoker for Dr. Bonn. At this time any members of the faculty who desire to meet him may have the opportunity. Of interest to political stu dents will be the fact that the date of Dr. Bonn's lecture coin cides with that of the meeting of the Reichstag in Germany. The new communist leader, Harry Hitler, will be expected to feat ure strongly at this time. N.C. C. W.

WATER SITUATION NOT SBAD NOW Consumption Decreases with Cooler Weather; Clouds Cheer J. S. Bennett The clouds that gathered yes terday gave a sombre aspect to the village, but they cheered J. S. Bennett. For the continued drought had put him in a state of uneasiness about the com munity's water supply. When this paper went to press yesterday afternoon the weather outlook was still uncertain, and the forecast for Friday, as pub lished in, the newspapers, was "fair and warmer." Still the situation ; as to water is better than it was a week ago. "Until we notify them, the people of Chapel Hill may feel free to go ahead with their nor mal consumption of water," says Mr. Bennett. "The weather turned cooler toward the end of last week, when our supply seemed to be running low, and this decreased the' consumption by about 75,000 gallons a day. And then we have built a weir which creates a pond out at the pumping station on Morgan's creek. Here at the intake at the junction of two creeks, Morgan's and Price's, the level has been raised 11 inches, and so we have a reserve of around 600,000 gal lons. This gives us a margin of about one day's consumption. "As long as enough water is coming down the two creeks there is rio reason for people not to use it in the customary quantities, since the excess goes to waste anyhow. If we are threatened with a shortage we will have plenty of time to give notice to everybody, and in that case measures of economy can be taken." Baptist Meeting The Mount Zion Baptist As sociation is to meet in the Bap tist Church 2 :30 o'clock this af ternoon. This association meets once a month, and is composed of the Sunday schools of fifty three surrounding churches. Dr. Toy Out of Town Dr. Calvert R. Toy has been on a visit to friends in New Jer sey this week. Today and to morrow ,he will attend a reunion of medical men in Philadelphia. Tar Heel Meeting - The managing editor and editor of the Daily Tar Heel will meet the editors of the paper at a 7 o'clock meeting, and the reporters at 7:15 to night. No one will be excused. CHAPEL HILL, N. C SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1930 nwerauy uipui kjf By R. W.Madry The University of North Ca rolina Press which, at the age of seven, is wide and favorably known at home and abroad, an nounced today the publication of more than 25 new books to be issued during the fall and win ter. This is twice as many as were issued during the corres ponding period last year. When these new volumes have been brought out the total num ber issuedby the Press since its establishment in 1922 will have passed the 100 mark. The most remarkable thing in connection with the announce ment, however, it appears, is that not one cent of the state's money is being spent in putting out these new books. Hereto fore, Assistant Director W. T. Couch pointed out, the Univer sity has appropriated a sub stantial sum to help cover the cost of maintaining the Press. But when the state called upon the University last spring to make big slashes in its budget, the Press was one of the many departments that suffered a heavy cut in fact the support of the Press was dropped entire ly except for a sum that was set up to take care of certain Uni versity periodicals published under the imprint of the Press. The Press is yet far from being self-supporting, but with the aid of interested foundations and wise business management it is not only getting along but is in creasing its production month by month. Purposes of the Press The major purpose of the Press is to give the University stand ing in the field of publishing commensurate with its stand ing in the fields of teaching, re search, and extension. To en ter the "publishing field here in the South, to develop a great scholarly publishing business similar to the organization built up by Harvard and Yale and Carolina Patriarch Will Interpret To-night Professor Freder ick H. Koch, who is to The Carolina Playmakers what George Washington is to our Vaterjandt, will read and inter pret Mr. Shakespeare's "Ham let" as becomes a recognized authority on that gentleman playwright who built a world within a book of plays that since has cost a world, a world of praise. You should pardon the influence that the writer has ac quired from contacts with Pro fessor Koch and his Shakes peare. But anyway 'Proff is going to read "Prince of Den mark" at eight and a half bells by The Carolina Playmakers Theatrical alarm clock this even ing by way of initiating for the year the monthly Sunday read ings. A2id everyone is invited to hear 'Proff free of charge. It really should be worth that to even those of our erudite schol ars who believe Will Shakes peare was a warrior. For only the other day, Wednesday in fact, this correspondent discov ered by perusing through some California journals that our noted Professor got his first suit of clothes from Hamlet, through Hamlet, or by Hamlet anyway Hamlet gave it to him? Fishy? Not at all. Here's the gist of that part of the life story of Frederick H. Koch, ap Double t revwus j.e Chicago in America, and Cam bridge and Oxford in England, can and will bring the Univer stiy distinceion of the same high character as that brought it by the development of its various schools, with the additional ad vantage that its scholarly out put can be even more widely dis seminated throughout the scho larly world than the graduates of its schools. Six of the new volumes tie in with the Governor's live-at-home program. These are books about North Carolina, written with the view to acquainting its citizens with the social and eco nomic status of the state. Makes Study of State The introductory volume for the study of the state suggested by the Press is North Carolina: Economic and Social, by Dr. S. H. Hobbs, Jr., who as a member of the department of rural social-economics of the Univer sity has devoted 15 years of study to the social and econo mic, aspects of the state. Other volumes in this live-at-home series are listed as Farm Life Abroad, by Dr. E. C. Bran son, head of the rural social economics department, which tells of the things that have made Denmark a country of prosperous, happy farmers; The Country Life of America, edited by Dr. Wilson Gee, direc tor of the institute for research in social science at the . Univer sity of Virginia, who i has brought together in this book the contributions made at the institute of public affairs . held at the University of Virginia last summer ; Town and Coun try, by E. E. Miller, late editor of the Southern Agriculturist, who has shown how the town and country cooperate to mutual advantage; Human Factors in Cotton Culture, by Rupert B. Vance, of the University of North Carolina, who has ana- (Continued on last page) Of The Drama "Hamlet" Tonight pearing in The Daily Calif or- nian, of the University of Cali fornia, Tuesday, July 31, 1928, which will explain this paradox, and just how it happened that 'Proff' got a suit from Hamlet. Oh, but I told you it was his first suit. Well that's wrong. It was his first dress suit. But then you shouldn't want to know everything at once. Well, once upon a time the father of our Playmakers was a young fellow who didn't know he had any talent. And this particular morning he woke up to find he also didn't have any money. Now he had been study ing "Hamlet" but strangely enough had never seen a play of any sort. Alexander Salvini just happened to be in town (Peoria, Illinois). cast in the role of Hamlet. But being broke, and together with being of con servative Methodist parents who vigorously objected to drama of any form, leaves a fellow in a situation pretty much zero minus. After much coaxing Dad handed him a dollar bill pleading with him not to 'let on to Ma.' That nightas he wit nessed the show from the bal cony that certain feeling o'er took him. He went home, mem orized the play and presented a one-man-show all by his lone (Continued on last page)- COaiMUNITY CLUB WANTS CLOTHES The health department of the Community club has left a box in the "Y" lobby for the collec tion of old clothes. Each year the club collects old clothes and has them laundered and patch ed. They are then turned over to George Lawrence, superintend ent of Public Welfare of Orange County. Lawrence distributes the clothes among the needy of the county. Any students having old clothes of any kind are asked to leave them at the "Y" dur ing the week. FOUNDERS' DAY IS OBSERVED AGAIN One Hundred Thirty-Seventh Anniversary Is Commemo rated Yesterday. Commemorating the 137th an niversary of the laying of the cornerstone of the first campus building, the University held its memorial exercises under Davie Poplar yesterday. After the program had been opened by the University band, President Frank P. Graham presided, pre senting Rev. Eugene Olive of Chapel Hill, who gave the invo cation. The audience sang the Uni versity hymn, which was fol lowed by an announcement by Registrar T. J. Wilson, Jr., of the enrollments in the various schools of the University. He announced that there .were 224 graduates, 104 law students, 81 medical, 70 pharmacy, 305 en gineering, 725 arts, 289 applied sciences, 629 commerce, and 326 education students, making a to tal of 2753 students enrolled. Mr. Graham introduced the first speaker, R. R. Williams of Asheville as a member of the "Young Turk Movement," who, when there was inadequate : rooming facilities on the cam pus, toured the state soliciting money for the erection of new dormitories. Mr. Williams, in his address, gave a history of the University, in which he stressed the fact that more than once the Univer sity has had to carry on through depressions. ' Mr. Graham then introduced L. P. McLendon of Durham. Mr. McLendon, concentrating on conditions resulting from the World War, stated that the pro cesses of thinking created and cherished during a war last years afterward, and predicted that the college graduates of the state would lead North Caro lina out of the present econom ic depression. Dean A. W. Hobbs read a list of the University students and alumni who have died since the last Founders' Day. The glee club sang "Integer Vitae," the program ending with the sing ing by the audience of "Hark the Sound," and the giving of the benediction by Rev. Eugene Olive. Health Bridge The health department of the Community Club gave benefit bridge parties on Friday at the home of Mrs. George B. Logan, chairman of the department. One party was given in the af ternoon and another at night. The total amount collected for use in the work of the depart ment was $25.50. The ladies of the health de partment donated all of the re freshments. NUMBER 21 SCIENTIFIC BODY MEETS IN 322ND SESSIONTUESDAY Dr. H.

AMERICANS SPEND MORE FOR AUTOS THAN EDUCATION Washington, Oct. 10. Fig ures which have been compiled by the research division of the National Education Association indicate that Americans spend more than five times as much for passenger automobiles each year as they do for the educa tion of their children in the pub lic schools. In 1928 the country spent less than $2,500,000,000 for public education below the college grade, while it spent $12,500, 000,000 for motor cars. The survey further indicated that three times as much as was spent on education was spent on tobacco, candy, soft drinks and amusements of various sorts.
