MEREDITH COLLEGE WILL BE MOVED Two Sites Being Considered —Report Will Be Made To Board Soon One of the two tracts of land in the Hayes-Barton section, the Mc Carthy property on the north side of the Leesville road opposite the resi dence of Dr. R. H. Lewis, or the An derson property on the east side of the Country Club trolley line beyond the Royster residence, will likely be recommended to the Board of Trus tees of Meredith Colleges as the site for the re-location of the institution. Both these sites have been carefully surveyed by the committeee named by the Board to recommend a place to which the college will be removed, and in both the committee has found many features that make them de sirable places for the location of such an institution as Meredith College. Both have ample acreage, and both have natural advantages that make them desirable. Report will be made to the Board within the next few weeks, and its adoption will mean the immediate be ginning of building operations and within the next two years, it is ex pected that Meredith will be estab lished on ground that offers it oppor tunity for material expansion to keep pace with its growth in importance among the educational institutions in the State. The Trustees have already definitely determined to move as soon as a satisfactory site can be found. The McCarthy property is several hundred acres in extent and commands a sweeping view of territory, situat ed as it is on one of the highest points in Wake county. The valley below has many springs, and a small street that could be utilized for building a lake, swimming pool, etc. It follows the Leesville road around to the trol ley line to the country club. The Committee is very much pleased with this location. The Anderson property has advan tages almost, if not equal to those offered by the McCarthy property. It also is several hundred acres in ex tent and runs down to Crabtree creek. It also has splendid elevations, and to pographically is in every way accept able. It abuts on the trolley line and would be accessible from the city. Nothing approaching a decision as to what disposition will be made of the extensive buildings occupied by the college in the city has been reach ed. It has been suggested that the city could use thm to excellent advan tage in expansion of its school system and that the proposed high school for the accommodation of 1,200 pupils could be chartered there. The Board of Trustees will meet in November, at which time the report of th com mittee will be heard.—News and Ob server. • Democratic Tax Amendments. The proposed Democratic amend ments to the pending tax bill were presented by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, in an enlightening speech dealing with the repeal or modification of existing taxes and the imposition of new taxes. The pro gram as stated by him is as follows: To increase the corporate income taxes, making the maximum range from 12 1-2 per cent to 25 per cent, instead of a flate rate of 15 per cent, estimated to raise from $60,000,000 to $70,000,000 additional revenue. To retain the capital stock tax on corporations, which it is proposed to repeal, estimated to yield about $75, 000,000. . To repeal the $2,000 exemption on corporate incomes. To confine individual exemptions to $2,000 in case of incomes below $20,000 and above $5,000, estimated to yield $15,000,000. To restore the surtax to a maxi mum of 52 per cent on incomes in excess of $500,000, estimated to yield about $55,000,000. Repeal of the transportation tax. Senator Simmons declared that the tax bill should not be made a party or a sectional question, but that it should be a bill fair in the distribu tion of the tax burden; that would raise sufficient revenue and contribute to the relief of business and indus try.

Hard ing’s Plans Shown By Secretaries The national conference of unem ployment turns today to the task of whipping into shape a general pro gram of permanent measures de signed to combat involuntary idle ness thruout the country and effect the return of the nation’s business and commerce to normal. Various subcommittees are sched uled to meet today and the full con ference is to reassemble tomorrow While some of the committees have practically decided upon their rec ommendations for permanent meas ures, it is the opinion of conference officials that at least a week will be occupied in the study of the coun try’s economic problems before ac tion is taken upon the complete pro gram. Upon reconvening the subcommit tees are to receive a report from the executive secretaries setting forth the progress made toward relief of the unemployment situation under the emergency measures adopted by the conference. The report, which was made public tonight, said: “The predominant object of the conference was to recommend and organize measures to meet the emer gency situation during the winter. The preliminary recommendations and organization plans have had the following response in the seven days since their issue: “First. Mayors’ emergency commit tees have been created and are ac tively at work in 31 cities on the lines of the conference plan of coordi nation of effort of all sections of the community, with more than a score of other cities reporting that organiza tion is in progress. “Second. Conferences have been held during the past week by the President, Secretary Hoover and mem bers of the conference, with the heads of the great national industries, including the railways, coal and ship ping, from which they have resulted definite steps undertaking to meet the emergency in many practical direc tions. “Third. The active participation of the great national commercial and employers’ associations have been as sured in definite organization of their branches throughout the country to assist the mayors and to meet the situation generally. The United States Chamber of Commerce, the National Manufacturers’ association, various regional and State associa tions, have actively entered into the problem of organization and provi sion of work for the unemployed, and assistance to the State and municipal authorities. “Fourth. A number of cities have undertaken steps for the immediate advancement of local public works, and for definite advancement of con struction work in the community. Steps organized in this direction have been formally reported from 8 cities. “Fifth. An office has been set up and is at work in Washington, under Col. Arthur Woods to continue the stim ulation and coordination of national, State and municipal agencies, under the general direction of the unemploy ment conference. “Sixth. As the result of experience gained in organization thruout the country during the past week, and of suggestions received from many quar ters, a large amount of material is now available for further development of emergency measures.” Vital questions affecting the indus trial welfare ofthe nation will be up for the consideration of the confer ence.

Things Higher Now. “On my last voyage,” a young sail or remarked, “I saw waves forty feet high.” “Get out!” cried an old sailor. “I was at sea for fifty years, and I never saw them that high.” “Well,* the young sailor retorted, “things are higher now than they used to be.”—Ladies’ Home Journal. GIANTS BFAT YANKS FRIDAY AND SUNDAY Both Teams Play Errorless Game Friday; “Babe” Gets Homer Sunday The dam which had been holding back the flood of the Giants’ wrath burst in the seventh inning Fri lay causing the Yankees to run for the hills and the umpire take the hind most. Until that moment the score of the third, game of the world series was 4—all. In the engulfing seventh the Giants got 8 runs. They did most of it with their clubs, which seemingly of the stuffed variety on the two preceding days, now were the knobbed cudgels of ogres. They batted two pitchers—Quinn and Collins—our of the box. They batted around the clock and made 8 hits in this one in ning, of which one was a three bag ger and two were doubles. They were wicked, vengeful, smash ing Giants. Huggins of the Yankees was warming up other pitchers as fast as he could. He shoved in a youngster, Rogers, to stop the mas sacre of the seventh inning. Rogers did it, but the Giants fell upon him in the eighth and pounded out an other run. The final score was 13 to 5. Mob Thirsty for Homers. The one thing the mob thristed for and did not get was a home run. It seemed extraordinary that among so many cloutings there should be no home run. Of course Babe Ruth was looked to to provide at least one. The knowledge of this expectancy lay heavy up
