Physics Professor Attends Meet
ings of Two Scientific Groups
In Washington.
Dr. Otto Stuhlman, of the
physics department, has just re
turned from Washington where
he attened the meetings of the
American physical society and
the National Academy of
Science on May 1 and 2. The
meetings took place in the bur
eau of standards in three sepa
rate buildings, the industrial
building, the chemistry building,
and the east building.
Dr. Stuhlman presented two
Papers at the convention, one in
conjunction with Henry zur
Burg, candidate for master's de
gree, on "Electrodeless Dis
charge Characteristics of Hy
drogen and Nitrogen," and an
other written in conjunction
ith C. J. Craven, a senior, on
"The Mechanics of Efferves
cence." The first of these was pre
sented on Saturday morning at
the National Academy of
Science auditorium. The dis
cussion that followed the read
ing brought out the interesting
fact that if our radio engineer
ing friends would only supply
us with an accurate way of
measuring the electrical fields
inside of a solinoid recited by
radio wavps. it would be possible
to interpret similar problems in
a more exact and reliable man

Philological Club
Hears Dr. Plessow
Dr. Gustav Plessow
the Philological club last night
m bmith building, delivering
one of his special lectures on "A
New Theory Concerning Middle
English Dialects."
The German professor dis
cussed the various dialects in
medieval England. As a result
of his study of Middle English
manuscripts, he has formed a
theory that the distribution of
Middle English dialects con
forms to the trade routes in a
beetle-shaped pattern rather
than to areas separated by lan
guage boundaries of the shape
of an H, as was formerly be
lieved. Dr. Plessow hopes to "obtain
the assistance of a team of schol
ars of universities in North
Carolina, South Carolina, and
Virginia to prove or disprove
this theory by making a paleo
graphical analysis of the nearly
800 volumes written in Middle
English.

Institute Speaker Gives Three
Causes for Trouble in
Industry.
James Myers, industrial re
search secretary of the Federal
Council of Churches, spoke yes
terday morning in Memorial
hall in an , address before the
Human Relations Institute. His
subject was "Gastonia, Marion,
and Danville."
Dr. Myers, an ordained minis
ter, stated that the best method
to study industrial diseases was
to discover the cause1 of the dis
eases by gathering all the facts
in the case. "The three causes
for unrest in industry are: con
ditions in the mills of the south,
a lack of real democracy, and a
lack of business organization in
industry as a whole."
Mill Conditions Poor
".The conditions in the mills
caused the outbreak of ' strikes,
and not outside agitation, as
generally supposed." In Marion
the mill people themselves sent
outside for an organizer, after
they had been forced to submit
to three wage cuts and three
stretch-outs in the mills. The
wages jtvere very low, ranging
from six dollars and a half per
week up to twenty seven dollars
per week, even in Danville,
where conditions are best. In
Gastonia it was discovered that
any person with initiative could
have led the strike, not to men
tion Communistic agitators. The
sanitary conditions in some of
the mills at Marion were found
to be exteremely bad.
"A real democracy is lack
ing in the average mill." It is an
accepted fact that in Marion the
management of the mills was
stunned when the workers
staged their walk-out, believing
that the workers were well satis
fied with conditions. A mill is
less apt to have a strike when
there is an organized ' union,
than when the' workers are un
organized." Lack of Organization
"Referring to a lack of busi-
organization in industry as
a whole as a factor in causing

throat competition prevents the
misino- nf wacres. Due to this,
anarchy in this country has al
ready appeared under cover.

troubles is competent and fair

PARKER BELIEVES
LAW IN HARMONY
WITRTHE TIMES
Judge of Fourth Circuit Court
Of Appeals Addresses Law
School.
Is H;he law of today anti
quated? This was the question
asked by Judge John J. Parker,
of the fourth Circuit Federal
Court of Appeals, in an address
yesterday morning to the . law
school. In answering the query
he outlined the development of
the legal profession and sug
gested possible improvements to
be made by the rising generation
of barristers.
The conclusion reached by
Judge Parker was that the sub
jective law of today is in com
plete harmony with the times,
though many alternations in the
adjective, or procedural, law
might be beneficially carried out.
After defining law as the
force determining the conduct
of citizens in their relations with
each other and with the state,
the'speaker declared . that to
serve its appointed purpose and
avoid the criticism so often di
rected against it, it must develop
with the increasing complexity
of civilization. In illustrating
this process of change, reference
was made to comparatively re
cent changes in the law relative
to master and servant relations,
labor unions and kindred prob
lems of employment, combina
tions in restraint of trade, public
service commissions, and phases
of the modern expanded range
of everyday life. Though we
should at all times hold fast to
the constitutional guarantees,
they must change in their appli-

ALBRIGHT TAPPED FIRST
Seven men were honored last
night at the annual tapping of
the Order of Golden Fleece in
Memorial hall. Judge John J.
Parker, of the fourth circuit
court of appeals gave the ad
dress of the evening.
Ed Hamer, Jason of the order,
presided at the meeting and Dr.
Horace Williams, of the philoso
phy department and one of the
founders of the Golden Fleece
introduced the speaker.
Judge Parker, who is a mem
ber of the honorary organiza
tion, gave a message calling the
state to leadership. He made a
plea for educated men in the
open conflict of American life.
"The source of wealth," said
the speaker," is the ability to
develop the mental and not the
physical side." He thought that
the state did not make a greater
investment than in the intelli
gence of its people. "Education
is necessary for the physical
welfare of the state and the
state should support education
for the doctrine of self-defense,"
said the judge. "What we need
is an educated leadership in our
political life, which is sadly
flacking. We need leadership of
trained men in our economic
world. We must develop edu
cated leadership in cultural ac
tivities, and to direct the citizen
ship in the use of its newly ac
quired leisure through this
machine age. We must raise
leadership in our religious life."
The speaker then showed how
different was the call of leader

SPECIAL MEETING
TAR HEEL CALLED
Places for Fifteen Reporters
Now Available for Remainder
Of Quarter.
A special call meeting of the
entire reportorial and news staff
of the Daily Tar Heel will take
place tomorrow afternoon at
5:00 o'clock in 104 Alumni
building. All reporters and news
men must be present if they ex
pect to remain on the staff.
Students contemplating work
on the paper next year are re
quested to report at this meet
ing, as, according to present
plans, there will be no regular
tryouts next fall. There are
places for fifteen reporters at
present, and it is planned to
continue new applicants tomor
row on the paper next fall, in
stead of taking on a lot of new
men at the beginning of school.
Persons trying out for the
Daily Tar Heel this spring will
have chances for advancement
in the fall, provided they do a
reasonable amount of consistent
work. They will also be eligible
for attractive charms, and pic
tures in the publications', section
of the Yackety Yack. No pre
vious journalistic experience is
necessary ; the only prerequi
sites are the ability to use good
English clearly, and to be will
ing to do a fair amount of work.
This call is primarily for those
persons who are interested in
the success of the paper as a stu
dent enterprise, and are willing
to help further its growth.
