THE DAILY TAR HEEL
Wednesday, October 28, 1931
Mayor: Seeking : : ::.3 .
; Delinquent Tax
Paying Canines
Eighty-Four Local Pups Have
Not Payed License Fees
For 1931.
Calendar
There are eighty-seven dogs in
Chapel Hill who haven't paid
their taxes yet. The mayor
would appreciate it if they would
drop by the city hall in the near
future and rid themselves of this
obligation. In a house-to-house
canvass made by the police de
partment last July it was dis
covered that there were 187 dogs
in Chapel Hill. Of this number
only eight had paid their taxes
by August 13. Since then, forty
two more have made honest
canine denizens of themselves by
paying their dues.
The tax on an automobile is
one dollar; the tax on a female
dog is two dollars. It is believed
that the tax on females is so high
because they are puppy-producers
; and, in time ol depression,
every additional mouth to feed is
a serious matter.
Delinquent Outlaws
But where are the outlaw
dogs those who haven't paid,
and don't intend to pay, for the
privilege of living in Chapel
Hill, the cultural center of North
Carolina? From the "doggy" ap
pearance of the University cam
mis most students have been
quick to answer this question
without outside aid.
Most of the outlaw dogs have
been found to be quite gentle.
Some have even adopted profes
sors, and pay them daily visits
of respect during their lelass
periods.
Professor O. J. Coffin, head of
the journalism department, is a
great favorite with a certain
brown-colored dog who pays him
a formal visit every morning at
precisely 11 :30. He enters the
room with great formality, stays
long enough to be recognized by
Professor Coffin, and then saun
ters out with a bored, dignified
air. He positively will not leave,
however, before Professor Cof
fin recognizes him with : "Hello,
Mac." .
Bagby Has Visitor
Dr. English Bagby of the psy
chology department vies with
Professor Coffin as a dog-attract-er.
Although visits paid him are
not as numerous or as regular,
they are longer. About a week
ago, his 12:00 o'clock psychol
ogy class was interrupted by an
unannounced visitor a meek
appearing spotted black-and-white
dog who was abashed by
the warmth of the reception ac
corded him by the class. After
wandering aimlessly about for
several minutes, the, dog curled
up at Dr. Bagby's feet and lis
tened with rapt attention to his
lecture. -x
Bagby asserts that it was "the
power of psychology" which at
tracted the wandering dog to his
feet. A week ago the Doctor did
not know he possessed "dog-appeal,"
but since this episode he
is quite confident of the fact.
"You can't fool a dog!" says Dr.
Bagby.
No Chapel'
There will be no regular as
sembly today. All freshmen in
the school of commerce are to
meet with Dean Dudley D. Car
roll in 103 Bingham at the usual
assembly period.
Geometry Students
Dean Hobbs wishes to meet
all students who are deficient in
plane geometry in his office, 203
South, as soon as possible.
Caldwell to Speak
Dr. W. E. Caldwell of the his
tory department will talk in
formally at 8 :00 o'clock tonight
on his travels through Europe
last year, and will put particular
emphasis on Greece, where he
visited longest. His talk will
take place in the lounge room on
the main floor of the Graham
Memorial.
Lessons in Taxidermy
Elementary lessons in taxi
dermy will be given in Davie
hall on each of the next four
Saturday mornings from 9:30 to
12:30. Edmund Taylor, son of
Dr. George Taylor of the Eng
lish department and a student
of Chapel Hill high school, will
give these lessons in the labora
tory to the right of the main
entrance. There will be no
charge, and all those interested
are welcome. However, it will
not be worth while to come un
less with the intention of taking
more than one lesson.
Y TO DISTRIBUTE
MEMBERS' CARDS
' -
Frank HawJey, treasurer of
the Y. M. C. A:, has announced
that membership cards to those

tion at registration will be distri
buted this week.

who wish to save money on any
trips that they may take. In the

LEGAL PROGRAM
FOR ALL NATIONS

of the' earth."
Reviews Various Laws
Dr. Escarra cited several
moveirients which have tended to
unify the legal system of various
nations of Europe. Among
those were the Institute of Rome,
founded for unification of pri
vate laws, which was established
in 1924 by the League of Na
tions ; the International Academy
of Comparative Law, with head
quarters at Hague ; the Institute
of Legislative Studies, the
Treaty of Versailles, and other
private organizations.
"It is easy to see," Dr. Escarra
continued, "that the work of uni
fication is the result of a scienti
fic movement pursued over a long
period of time. If we consider
the results acquired, we perceive
the domains where the need for
unity is greatest. The English
judge or the American judge will
never interpret a legal text as a
French judge would. For this
reason we must have an interna
tional code of technique, a tech
nique as unified as legislation it
self." - :
To Lecture in Durham
Dr. Escarra has left Chapel
Hill for Durham where he will
deliver lectures similar to the
ones he gave to the University
law school. V
Following Dr. E scar ra's eve
ning lecture, Dean M. T. Van
Hecke held a smoker at his home
in honor of Dr. Escarra with the
faculties of the law school and
the French department present.

CHESTERFIELD pays top prices . . . yes, and a

IN BLENDING, also, Chesterfields are different
... Instead of merely mixing the tobaccos
together . . . we cross-blend them. It's like mak
ing a new and better-tasting kind of tobacco.
That's how we get that Chesterfield flavor. Milder

You can tell it in the smoke.
