"Carrboro Limited" Runs Off Track While shifting cars below the University power plant yester day, the "Carrboro Limited" made a slip that attracted many students to the scene. The train backed in to pick up the empty gondola from which stone for the bell tower had been re moved, and rolled too far, push ing the rear wheels of the car off the end of the rails. The brakeman and conductor pried with some handy cross ties, and after much blowing and puffing, the engine finally dragged the wayward car back on the track. Then, like a licked pup, the.

HAYES TELL OF NEWBUILDING Carolina Steel Company Official Describes Construction of Bank of Manhattan. N. P.. Hayes, vice-president of the Carolina Steel and Irqn Com pany of Greensboro spoke to the members of the William Cain Society, student branch of the American Society of Civil En gineers, on "The Erection of the Manhattan Bank" when the students met Tuesday night at 7 :30 o'clock in.room 319 Phillips hall. Hayes divided his lecture into two parts and illustrated eachjsong and classics. with 111ms iurmsnea mm Dy the American Institution of Steel Construction. The first subject with which he dealt was the newTly created battle deck flooring. f This new flooring has been tested by the severest conditions as found in the wear and strain on battleship flooring. Also the material is adaptable to blend with the finest and most lux urious furnishings of ocean liners. Mr! Hayes pointed out that modern office buildings were also adopting this floor because of the saving in weight and space. The reduction in weight lightens the frame con struction of the buildings, and the difference in thickness saves a great deal. In a construction of twenty stories twelve feet in height can be eliminated by using the new material, says Hayes. The second part of the lec ture treated with the construc tion of the Bank of Manhattan. According to the Carolina Steel representative, this constructioh was an epic in steel. Where the average time for building such a structure had been two years this building was completed in half the time.

NN. Kedroff KEDROFF QUARTET HIGHLYrPRAISED Perfection of Famed Musicians, ' Who Appear Here Tuesday, EspeciaHy Noteworthy. The Kedroff Quartet, inter nationally famous musicians and singers, will appear in Memorial hall Tuesday night at eight-thirty to present a select ed collection of Russian folk Everywhere they have ap peared, they have been herald ed as the most wonderful phenomenon of the vocal world today" to use the words of Koussevitxky and The New York Post. Walter Damrosch, direc tor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, gave them a special invitation to appear as soloists with the orchestra at Mecca Temple, New York. They were recalled eight times before the curtain, and it is a rare instance to have a vocal quartet sing without accompaniment with one of the great orchestras. There are few, if any, vocal quartets in existence of the same type as the Kedroff ensemble. Before their organization, quar tet singing was regarded as in consequentil, not to be taken seriously because of the diffi culty of perfecting it. It re quired long years of practice and devotional work to achieve the results they have reached. Their sole aim is attaining per fection, the perfection of group or string instruments, combined with unity of inter pretation. It is their desire to keep any one voice from gainr ing ascendency over the others that causes the strange effect of a single instrument playing. A. J. Warner, of the Roches ter Times-Union writes, "I have never , heard a quartet in the least like the Kedroff ensemble, which is different even in the arrangement of its personnel on the stage, the baritone standing at the side of the first tenor, with the second tenor placed between the baritone and the bass." 1 i i j s i r i f . 1 - i - - - - - -3 NUMBER 12S STATE DRATiIATIC TOURNAMENT IS TO BEGIN TODAY Presentation of Plays by Clubs And Junior Colleges Opens Program at Three O'clock.
