Conference Came To B c
Flayed on Diamond at
League Park
Henderson highs meet Chapel Hill
tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 o'clock at
League Park for their third confer
ence baseball engagement of thg sea
son.
The Orange county nine is rated as
a veiy strong one and the Bulldogs
will have to click in fine style to keep
their conference record clean.
The 17-6 defeat at the hands of Zeb
Vance yesterday clearly showed the
weakness of the beam. They garnered
11 hits to 15 for Zeb Vance but Zeb
Vance scored 17 runs. The secret of
the whole matter is Hendersons er
rors. The infield and outfield missed
balls that should have been easy outs.
Harris, star twirler of the Bulldogs,
was held in reserve yesterday for the
game with the Chapel Hill aggrega
tion. which routed Cary, the winner
over Raleigh. 21-8.
Practically the same lineup that
started the game yesterday, with the
exception of the pitcher, will start
Thursday against the boys from the
University town.

Acute Indigestion
Phar Lap, the staunch-hearted Aus

Menlo Park, Calif., with acute indi

“There is not the slightest suspicion
of poison,” said Dr. William Neilson,
Australian vetetiraarian/’ The autopsy
tonight shows acute indigestion and
infkamation of the Stomach."
The famous horse had been on a
strict diet of food brought him from
Australia. Monday he ate barley and
alfalfa from an adjoining field. This
might have contributed to the dis
order that killed him but was not, the
cause of his death veterinarians who
performed the autopsy said.

JEFFRESS EXPECTS
HIyHER AUTO SALES
Announcement of New Models and
Lower Prices And Cut In License
Seen As Incentive
Dally Dispatch Rarcfia,
In the Sir Wnltrr Hatel.
IIV J. C. BASKKKViLL.
Raleigh. April 6.- An increase in
•the sales of new automobiles in North
Carolina and a consequent increase
in revenue from the gasoline tax is
expected by onairman n,. B. eJffress
of the State Highway Commission,
from now on. He also believes that
more cars will now be licensed, since
the cost of new licenses has been re
duced one-fourth since April 1. so
that licenses can now be purchased
for three-fourths of their original cost.
The largest single factor indicating
better business conditions in the au
tomobile industry, in the opinion of
Chairman effress, has been the an
nouncement by the Ford Motor Com
pany of its new models and especially
the prices of these models.
"The entire automobile industry was
being held back until the new Ford
models and prices were announced,"
Jeffress said. "For all the other auto
mobile companies were waiting to see
what Ford was going to do in order
to adjust their models and prices
somewhat within the same limits. The
buying public was also waiting for
the new Ford models and prices be
fore buying anything.
"Now that these new models and
prices are out, I believe new car sales
will pick up rapidly, since those who
have been intending buying new cars
or who must buy new ones to replace
old ones that must be discarded, now
see what they want to buy. It was
significant that as soon as the new
Ford prices were announced that
Chevrolet at once reduced its prices
to virtually the same level, and a
number of other automobile manufac
turers have also revised their prices.
“The result is that thee prices of
new cars are now down to such a
low level that many people can really
save money by buying a new car in
stead of trying to continue to use the
old, worn-out cars they are now us
ing." I am looking forward to a ma
terial Increase In the sale of new cars
in North Carolina and the entire na
tion this month and I think every one
will benefit from it"

Raleigh, April 6. —Because of the
stringent economy being practiced in
all the State departments and offices
here as a result of the scarcity of
State funds, officials and employes aie
buying ice from their own pockets so
they can have ice water to drink dur

decreed that the State will not bgeii*
to supply ice for the water coolers
until May 1.
The first offices to start the “Buy-
Now-Ice” movement are ehtose of the
Personnel Division on the fifth floor

contributing five cents a weke with
which to buy the ice. So far Frank
Dunlap, the director of the division.
Thad Eure, assistant director. Mrs.
jDlbrell. secretary, have con
tributed their five cents.
The water cooler—the only one on
the floor, that has ice in it—is being
carefully concealed behind a door and
even more carefully guarded by Mrs.

Citing the fact that hte Federal gov
ernment has increased its spending
twenty per cent since the depression
began in 1929. Mr. Maxwell said "The
railroads of this country are nearly all
broke, but If they had followed tha
same policy of the Federal govern
ment, and had failed to make draatio
reductions in their operating ex
penses to meet this emergency, there
would be more scrap iron on the mar

a century. And I don't believe this
country will find Its way back to a

makes the same kind of readjustment
of its huge spendings that business
enterprises are compelled to make if
they survive.
