numbering 50. are valued at $30,000.
Three hundred more applications
were received this year than last. Ac
cording to Dean W. H. Glasson, of the
graduate school, this great increase
probably Is due to the inability of
many college graduates to find sat

SELF-HELP MEN AT
STATE HUNT JOBS
Raleigh, March 22.—1 n the absence
of a large student loan fund and
with the funds that are available tied
up. students at N. C. State College
have concentrated their efforts on se
curing part-time employment to help
pay their school expenses.
Instead of attempting to increase
loan funds, the college administration
is cooperating with the students in
helping them to secure employment.
M. L. Shepherd, head of the Self-
Help Bureau, an organization spon
sored jointly by the college and the
Y. M. C. A., estimates that between
30 and 35 per cent of the students en
rolled this year are earning at least
part and in many cases, all of their
college expenses by part time work.
This in addition to their full scholastic
schedules.

more iatripuinp that the prospect of
inheriting her fathers millions and
becoming a New England society girl.
She run* away to New York, due to
the persuasion of handsome Thomas
Blane and decides to become another
girt, a working girl. Blane. who was
to direct her career as a movie star,
turns out to be a girl racketeer, steals
her money and disappears. Howard
Harsh, dapper manager ol the tittle

lives, takes her tn toic. She is at
tracted to him. but he docs not flatter
her vanity by any sentimental re
sponse. He takes her to a dine and
dance place and encourages her to
dance with his friends. But when
Littian begins to wonder why he
doesn't dance with her the discovers
he has disappeared.

CHAPTER CO
"GONE HOME?" she repeated the
answer Sherron had give as a ques
tion.
He was a tall, angular man Middle
aged, with thin gray hair r ~ His eyea
were light and shifty. Even when he
amlltd his face twisted unpleasantly.
"You don't mean—'he couldn’t have
gone and left me here—alone—"
“Yeah," Sherron said. "He could.
What'n wrong with »hat?“
“But I—he brought me here!"
"How 'bout this dance?*’ a follow
who had danced with Lillian a.little
while earlier asked.
"No." she answered. "I’m not danc
ing—any more."
"Sure." said Sherron to the fellow,
"she’s danctng. Run along dance with
him."
“But—l will notl I’m going home!"
The orchestra struck up something
particularly loud and fast. The
youth caught at Lillian’s arm.
eCome on, little one. Wnat’s the
matter with you? Bomebody get
ybur Irish tip?"
Lillian’s eyes sought Shcrron’s. but
bis shifted, wandered over the crowd.
"Didn’t Mr. Marsh leave any word,
any message for ms?" she sought
Sherron again. He was starting to
walk away. She caught at his sleeve.
"Said tell yoy to have a good time."
Sherron told her. amusement twisting
his facet
“But—how'll I get back to my
hotel?" asked Lilliam, frightened.
"I'll take you home —if that’s all's
worrying you.” put In the young fel
low stlD holding to Lillian’s arm.
Lillian tried to pull away from the
persistent fellow. He was not to be
discouraged.
“Look." he said, "don’t bother about
a guy who’d give a queen like you
sh« go-by."
He wrapped his Angers Armiy about
her bare arm just above the elbow.
His head bent close to hera His
•yes were heavy-lidded and his tawny
hair fell in a tousled unruly lock
partly covering his brow. He had a
way of running his Angers through
the tousled lock, pushing R back.
Ha smiled Into Lillian’s frightened
area. "Say, if you ain’t a queen I’m
a Chinaman."
*Dh—go 'wayl I don’t even know
your name!" Lillian’s hand pushed
against the slick white bosom of his
shirt
“I don’t know yours either. Let’s
get acqquainted." He was drawing
her near the dance floor. "Let’s
dance."
“Let me alone! I won’t dance with
you—l’m going home!"
"You danced with me while ago.
Remember?"
Lillian didn’t remember very
dearly. There bad been so many.
She had been looking over their
shoulders, trying to see Howard
Marsh. Wondering If he were watch
ing. Wondering why he didn’t danoe
with her.
He had made her feel she was ex

And her eyes stung.
The tawny haired young fellow
said: “Snap out of it, baby!" And
with a masterful tug he had her on
the glassy dance floor, with his arm
about her waist.
"Come on—step fast! Rip ’em up!"
The music blared and a saxophone
screeched furiously. With the rapid
beat of the w ild music Lillian’s part
ner swayed, stepped and syncopated
his movements They moved with a
combination of swing and hop. It was
impossible not to follow his lead.
Everything whirled. The music
grew madder and madder. The
drums and the piano, the sar.aphones
and the clarinets. Lillian’s partner
started Into a series of fast turns.
He held her against his slim, bony
body as they whirled. He braced her
with his body and his wiry long arm.
His head bent against hera his chin
resting on her da-k curia
The rhythm and the savage beat
of the music served aa an intoxicant.
Lillian’s senses were sort of numbed.
And then, when the music got off
on something like a waltz, the youth,
between quick breatha said: "Wot a
baby you’ve turned out to be! And
do I love the way you shake your
doggies!"
He relaxed his hold about her
waist for a minute and then renewed
it.
As they danced by a table with
tome unoccupied chairs Lillian pulled
herself free and dropped into one of
the chairs.
"Aw," her partner said, sympa
thetically. “all tired out?" And be
pulled a chair over beside her.
Lillian was almost breathless and
she was conscious of stinging little
pains In her feet, which were so
much exposed by their thin-soled
atilt-heeled little satin sandals
She reached down and stroked her

He glowered at her and then

sitting so close to her.

away.

pushed them over into Lillian's lap.
Lillian got up from the chair. She
bit her lip. She clenched her fists.
What did he mean? Give him the
rest of the evening . . . for fifteen
dollars?
She began to reel. She thought
she was going to fold up right there
before she could move away from
this heavy-lidded boy. She took a
long step,‘her foot hung in her skirt,
and she tripped.
She might have fallen to the Hoor
only her band caught the back of a
chair.
With a startled exclamation, which
turned to a friendly laugh, the girl
occupant of the chair to which Lil
lian clung looked around.
“You’d better stay off of that Jer
sey champagne." she said gayly.
But when she saw Lillian's face
she got up quickly and ran a pro
tecting arm about her shoulders
“Oh, I’m sorry." ahe said, kindly.
"May I help? The ladies' room is
right over by that gold and black
screen. May I go along with you?"
“Yes." Lillian replied responding
immediately to the friendly tone of
the girl, “that will be very kind of
you."
Lillian grabbed at the chance to
be out of the crowded, noisy room,
away from the dancers, away from
the heavy-lidded youngish chap who
offered her fifteen dollars for the rest
of the evening!
She fell In step with the girl who
still held a protecting arm about Lil
lian. They walked to the door marked
“Powder Your Nose."
As soon aa they entered the little
room Lillian was unable to suppress
deep, heart aching soba The sym
pathy and klndneaa offered by this
stranger somehow told Lillian she
was an object of pity. She began
feeling great sympathy for herself
and for long minutes she allowed the
flow of crystal clear tears to race
down her cheeks unchecked.
"Too ouch wine?" the girl asked,
finally.

Carolina Nine Will Play
Jersey City On Thursday
Chapel Hill, March Caro
lina baseball team will open its sea
son with a practice game with the
Jersey City club o fthe International
League here Thursday afternoon at
4 o'clock. The Tar Heels will open
their rgeular college schedule play
ing the! rannual Easter Monday
classic with Davidson at Winston-
Salem next Monday.
Coach Bunn Hearn announced the
addition of the Jersey City game to
day, and coincident there with. Smoky
Ferebee. injured in football last fall
came back to college to begin his
fight to rthe shortstop post he filled
so creditably last spring.
The Tar Heels, foregoing spring
holidays, drove away at hard practice
all last week, but the speedy, clever
little Ferebee, who has a particular
knack for stretching triples Into
homers, was not among those pre
sent.
His return bolsters Infield strength
considerably. Coach Hearn • had con->
siderable likely looking material qj
rcady. but it may be a tough job to
pick the right combination. Another
thing some of the boys who have
been goihg best afield ih .praetioe
games, Willie Powell at third, aiui
Vergil Weathers at escotid, for inf
est applause, and apparent approval
was the presentation of a gold foot
ball to Dean M. E. Santelle. This was
done by Don 8. King, president of the
student body and a football player,
who said that this was given to Dr.
Santelle in recognition of his constant
interest in the athletics of Davidson.
Each year the Athletic Association
selects one man who has shown a
great in tercst in Davidson’s athletic
teams, and this recognizes them in
this public manner.
