Iceland Planning
To Use Hot Springs
Reykjavik, Iceland, Nov. 9,
1930. (IP) A plan to heat an
entire city by piping water from
natural hot springs directly into
radiators of public buildings and
homes was put in operation this
summer by this city, the capital
of Iceland.
For years farmers and house
wives have utilized the springs
found in all parts of this country.
Now scientific methods have
been used to make the unused
heat available for city use.
A pumping plant was built at
Wash Springs, two miles from
here, and three public buildings
are being heated this winter, a
national hospital, a public school,
and a public indoor swimming
pool.
It has been found that in the
vicinity of hot springs, hot wa
ter can be drilled for just as oil
is drilled for, and that it can be
Piped with little loss of heat in
transit.

GEORGE RUSSELL
TO LECTURE HERE
George Russell, Irish lecturer
and writer, has selected North
Carolina as one of the states in
which he 1 will lecture next
spring. He will deliver several
lectures in various parts of the
country. Officials of the Uni
versity have chosen March as
the most suitable time for his
visit to this state.
Russell is one of the most
noted of Irish writers. He is
doubtless better known to many
people as "A. E." which is his
pen name.
FOOTBALL PLAYED
FROM BICYCLES IN
COREY FORD'S DAY
"It may come as something
of a shock to modern devotees
of the1 gridiron sport," reveals
Corey Ford in the December
College Humor in his reminis
cences, And That's How I Met
Your Grandmother, "to learn
that in my time football was
played on bicycles. The entire
team would line up along the
tape on their high-wheeled
bikes and at the referee's
whistle they would pedal down
the field like mad, the thumb
pieces of their bicycle bells clang
ing briskly and their side-burns
floating behind them on the
breeze as they raced toward the
goal.
"An innovation which proved
highly successful was the pass
ing of the famous rule in 1869
that a man who made a touch
down was, allowed to keep the
Dall as a souvenir. Inasmuch as
leather was extremely valuable,
owing to the high protective
tariff, we found that this rule
practically did away with the
fumble entirely. Once a man had
the ball in my day he kept it.
On the other hand, it handicap
ped our forward passing con
siderably, inasmuch as the first
action of a player upon catch
ing the ball in his arms would
be to deflate it, tuck it under his
jersey, walk off the field, go
back to his room, pack his suit
case, buy a ticket .to the big
city and set up in the leather
business for himself. It was in
this manner that Otto H. Kahn
got his start.
"But the most interesting cus
tom in the good oldy days was
the rule which we adopted re
garding spectators. Today the
spectator at a football game
merely sits in the stands and
calls out advice to the teams,
such as 'Try a forward!' or
Take it through the line!' or
'Kill that man !' but in my day
they actually went out there and
did these things."

OLLEGE LIBRARY
Henry Clay Folger Bequeaths
$10,000,000 for Memorial
Building.
Amherst, Mass. (IP) One
of the largest and most unusual
endowments ever bequeathed an
American college of arts and
sciences has just been accepted
here by the corporation of Am
herst College.
The bequeathe provided for in
the will of the late Henry Clay Carolina, occasioned a compari
Folger, of New York, provides j son of the crime conditions pre
that the trustees of Amherst valent to-day in England and
College shall administer the new I Ameriea.JRepresentative Wilkin-
Folger Shakespeare Memorial
Library in Washington, D. C,
and shall pay the college one'
quarter of the annual net income
of the fund of $10,000,000 left
for the maintenance of the
building.
A clause in the ' will provided
that if Amherst did not accept
the gift, it should be transferred
to the University of Chicago.
Amherst already has appoint
ed a committee of distinguished
alumni to formulate plans for
the operation of the new Mem

committee is Senator-Elect
Dwight W. Morrow, former am
bassador to Mexico.
The library building, of white
marble, and to be completed in
1931, will be situated in the vi

Supreme Court Building is to be
located. It will include a small
Shakespearean Theatre, and will
hold Mr. Folger's famous col
lection of Shakespeareana of
more than 20,000 volumes.
Six Births, Five
Deaths In October
- The coroner reports six births
and five deaths for the month of
October. Three of the children
born are white and three are
colored. Four of the five per
sons who died were colored. The
one white man died as a result
of coronary thrombosis, an ill

on the blood vessels. Nephritis,
an inflammation fof the kidney,
caused one of the deaths ; a seven
months old baby died from pul
monary tuberculosis.1 It is inter
esting to note that this '. child's
father had died four or five
months ago as a result of the
same disease. Another baby
died from the effects of malnu
trition, and another was still
born.
Thus far this month
have been reported two

PHI FAVORS TE
E
DEATH PENALTY
Heated Discussion Precedes
Downing of First Bill on
the Calendar.
The discussion at the meeting
of the Philanthropic Assembly
Tuesday night .called forth some
interesting issues on the merits
and demerits of capital punish
ment. The bill, Resolved: That
capital punishment should bej
abolished m the state of North
son forcefully compared the two
nations. Many representatives
denounced capital punishment,
arguing that the state should not
have the right to take a man's
life. By citing well-konwn cri
minal cases, they endeavored to
show the "Assembly the advan
tages and effectiveness of life
imprisonment over capital pun
ishment. Nevertheless the As
sembly was unwilling to go on
record as favoring the ' abolish
ment of the death penalty and
the bill was defeated.
The second bill discussed dur
ing the session was, Resolved:
i " -
That the emergence of women
from the home is a detriment to
society. This bill evoked much
merriment in the Assembly hall,
despite the earnest pleas of Re
presentatives Wilkinson and Mc-
Duf fie that woman's place was
in the home. Representatives
Hobgood and Carmichael upheld
the negative; After much dis
cussion the bill was tabled until
next meeting in order, to give
the fair members of the Assem
bly a chance to "strike fire."
Cornell Considers
Cold Preventives
Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 12. (IP)
Red Flannels are about the
only cold preventives which
are not being used by a special
class in common cold study at
Cornell University here.
The class is testing as pre
ventives a half dozen of the
(latest scientific treatments com
I i i' ' in ' ..i'i i
Dined witn oia-iasnionea prin
ciples. Included are ultra-violet
light, alkalinization of the body
by food that: reduces hyper-acidity,
diet, ventilation, special nose
and throat studies and catarrhal
vaccination.
.-"As far as is known," says
the announcement of the course,
"this is the first time that any
university has organized as com
prehensive a plan for controlling
colds among the student body."
Convinced that cold control
among the susceptibles will "go
a long way toward preventing
cold epidemics among the whole
student body," Dr. Dean F.
Smiley asks that "cold preven
tion classes" be joined by those
having four or more colds
yearly.'.'
ANDRE EXPEDITION
FILMS DEVELOPED
Stockholm, Nov. 9, 1930.
(IP) Dr. Herzberg, Swedish
photographic expert, has report
ed that he has been able to de
velop half the twenty photogra
phic films which were found
among the remains of the ill
fated Andre expedition to the
North Pole. ,
Dr. Herzberg declared that
the negatives will enable a num
ber of remarkable pictures to be
made, the best of them showing
the Andre balloon after it made
a forced landing on the ice.

COKER STUDIES
FALL BLOOMING
PLANT LIFE HERE
Dr. W. C. Coker of the botany
department has been working
the last few days with late fall-
blooming plants. These shrubs
make an interesting study, be
cause they bloom at a time of
the year when nothing else
comes.
The witch-hazel, a Chapel Hill
shrub, has a remarkable curios
ity of blooming at this time of
the season. The shrub is found
in two distinct colors : pale
greenish-yellow, and deep yellow
of which the latter is the most
attractive. The two types were
drawn by Miss Well Henry, a
graduate student of the botany
department, the coloring being
done by Mrs. Mary Graves Rees,
a well-known artist of Chapel i
Hill. These illustrations will pro
bably be used in an article by
Dr. Coker for some popular (
magazine, the subject being "The
Variation in Beauty of Our Na
tive Flowers and Shrubs." Dr.
Coker is of the opinion there is
a field for much improvement
in our native ornamentals.
Other well-known flowering
trees in Chapel Hill which ex
hibit great differences in beauty
at time of flowering are dog
wood, river-plum, red-bud, and
red-maple. For example, some
red-maples have, brilliant scarlet
flowers and fruits, while others
have pale yellowish-green colors
and are of practically no orna
mental value.
MacNIDER HONORED
WITH GIBBS AWARD
A distinguished honor" has
come to Dr. William deBerniere
MacNider, Kenan Research Pro
fessor of Pharmacology, of the
University of North Carolina.
The New York Academy of
Medicine has awarded to him
the annual income of the Gibbs
Prize for Research. Dr. Mac
Nider, it is understood, plans to
utilize this fund, amounting to
one thousand dollars, in the con
tinuation of his research in
Chronic Nephritis. v
Many of Dr. MacNider's
friends, especially those inter
ested in scientific investigation,
have congratulated him on this
recognition of his research labors.

Elisha Mitchell Society Hears
Hickerson and Coker Speak on
Contrasting Subjects.
At the meeting of the Elisha
Mitchell scientific society Tues-
Hnv rtiorlif 7-5fi It "PVii1Kto
two interesting talks by Profess-
or T. F. Hickerson, of the civil
engineering department, and
Dr. W. C. Coker, professor of
botany.
Professor Hickerson explain
ed the theories underlying me
chanical methods of stress analy
sis and exhibited an apparatus
for the measuring of deforma-'
tions of elastic models of struc
tures or machines. This device,
invented by Professor George
E. Beggs of Princeton Univer
sity, consists of gages, gage
plugs and micrometer micro
scopes which furnish a precise
means of measuring small dis
placements and deflections of
the model, thus enabling one to
determine the relation between
loads and reactions on the actual
structure, even though it may be
complex and unsymmetric.
A small celluloid model of a
160 foot concrete arch bridge
constructed by the Georgia high
way commission in lvzt was
shown, and a determination of
the thrust, shear and bending
moment in the arch caused by
a load was demonstrated with
the aid of the Beggs deformeter.
The results obtained from the
deformeter showed a remark
ably close agreement with those
obtained by mathematical means.
Hickerson stated that although
the model was usually cut from
a sheet of celluloid, that the re
sults obtained apply to any kind
of material that is contained in
the structure.
