Port Royal, Va. ? Twenty-five stu dents and six professors gathered in a high-ceiled room under the slated sloping roof of an old building here have brought into existence Dr. A. C. Hill's depression days college for finan cially harassed young men. The purpose of Port Royal college, Doctor Hill explained, Is to bring to gether college teachers who are with out appointments because of the de pression and students who, owing to financial stringency, are unable to con tinue in existing institutions. Instruction will be available In the classics, modern languages, English literature, art, philosophy, history, government, economics and sociology. No degrees will be giyen, but Doc tor Hill believes that when the per sonnel of his faculty becomes known and the methods of the college ex plained, other institutions will accept Its credits. He plans to have one full-time professor to every six stu dents. No time will be devoted to athletics and no money spent In this direction. There will, in fact, be no athletics other than such as the students Impro vise for themselves. Cost About $250 a Y?ar. The total cost to each student will be $2f>0 annually, which will cover tuition, board, lodging and laundry. Students will not be permitted to work for wages when not engaged In class room or study, which appears to be an unnecessary rule, If the appearance of Port Royal is any Indication of the opportunity to work, but they must care for their own rooms and take turns In waiting on tables and wash ing dishes. Professors In the college. Doctor Hill went on to explain, will get noth ing In return for their services except their board, which the $2T>0 paid by each student will care for.

Once Important Port. Nestling close to the turbid waters of the Rappahannock in a setting of ancient, spreading trees. Port Royal still retains something of the grace and elegance, and all of the leisurely atmosphere of early Colonial days, when It was a place of Importance and a busy port. Just across the Rappahannock and within sight is a crumbling pile, over grown with rambling vines, all that is left of the house in which President James Monroe was born, and but a little way farther is the site of Wash ington's birthplace. ! According to tradition, Po^t Royal was once thought of as the perTbanent site of the capital of the United SUttea? and came within two votes of being selected. I But *b the years went by things hap pened to Port Royal. Railroads took away its river trade and presently a modern highway, cut through a mile to the west, left It In virtual Isolation. The president of the new institution (Doctor Hill calls it Port Royal col lege, but the natives speak of It as Depression or -Hard Times college) is a graduate of Dartmouth and for merly was Instructor of economics at Springfield college. He is a staff member of the Brookings Institute. Sweet potatoes keep much better if placed In a warm, dry place. ? ? ?

It was admitted by everyone who knew her intimately that Mrs. Craw ford bad a crotch ety disposition. She was, to use a common phrase, "hard to get on with." She often arose in the morning with a gloomy counte nance, and as the day wore on and difficult situations arose her brow did not usually cleur. If you had business with Mrs. Crawford It was as wen 10 cuuBuii ner weatner uag before bringing up anything of Importance. Her Immediate state of mind or tem per was likely to determine her de cisions. Mrs. Crawford's friends who felt called upon to condone her weak nesses of temper and her pretty gen eral lack of graclousness of manner, explained that she was really not well. For years she had been suf fering from goitre or gallstones. Constant pain should excuse a great many slips of disposition. There was Nettle Crane, young, beautiful, and ambitious. She lay for years with a chronic and incurable rheumatism or arthritis which twisted her body and stiffened her Joints and kept her immobile almost and con stantly suffering. She never com plained; she suffered silently, and there was always on her face a quiet, gentle look. Suffering seemed to make her more patient, more considerate of others, more resigned and quiet of spirit. Not so Mrs. Crawford. Pain stirred her up apparently. Rut she came ultimately to the point of get ting rid of her irritation. Only "a slight operation," the doctor assured her would be necessary to remove the source of her trouble. After a month In the hospital, she was back at work. ""She'll he a- very different woman," her friends asserted, "now that the cause of her trouble Is removed." It seemed entirely reasonable to me. "How is Mrs. Crnwford since she came back from the hospital?" 1 asked a friend of hers. "Oh, she's Just as hard to get on with ns ever. You can't remove a bad temper by a surgical operation." ' And I guess you can't. i . ?. 1932. Woetern Newspaper L'nlon. Body of Drowned Girl Located by Quicksilver Ixmdon. ? The ancient belief that If a loaf loaded with quicksilver is placed In a river or canal it will stop over the spot where the body of a drowned per son lies has been tested with dramatic success at Redworth, England. A girl named Ethel Wright, aged fifteen, of Bedworth, disappeared. Later her purse was found on the bank of a canal, but dragging of the wateiway failed to reveal her body. An uncle, remembering that ancient supersti tion, put a quantity of quicksilver In a loaf of bread and, accompanied by police, threw It Into the water. At the spot where It came to rest near a bridge the girl's body was located and dragged ashore.

SAILORS WNU 8ervic?. Town Spurns Costly Post Office Fights Expense and Town's Loss of Rent. Southampton, I* I. ? Tills village docs not want a new post otllce, and, If It can help It, will not have one under any conditions. Southampton, center of one of Long Island's exclusive summer resort col onies, thinks its present post ottlce Is good enough, and Mayor J. Foster Ter ry and the town's four trustees, Elmer Van Brunt, Robert E. Hubbard, I^ewls E. Downs and I^atham R. Reed, told Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills so In no uncertain terms. Instead of relieving unemployment Southampton feels that the expendi ture of $110,000, which, was appropri ated at the last session of congress for the erection, of a new post ofllce, would not only increase the financial burdens of the federal government, but would result in Increased local taxation. The present building, "erected by the village primarily for the post ofllce," Mayor Terry told Mr. Mills, brings in a rental of $3,000 a year from the government. The pro posed new post ofllce, the mayor esti mated, would cost the government $0,000 a year to operate, and "r?uder It necessary to lncrease^^e Tillage Qabby Qertie "Happy ia the bridegroom who can ?ay on hl? wedding night, 'A loan at last,' " POTPOURRI The Ghntt of the Heaven* The zodlacnl )i;;ht, most pro nounced (lurinK October, Is a ghost ly glow which appears In the enst rrn sky An hour or two before dawn.

Besides writing a letter of protest to Mr. Mills, Mr. Terry sent a letter to Dr. Nicholas Murray Uutler, president of Columbia university, who has a summer residence near the village, re questing his help In "stopping this ! project." The mayor declared that the ? il- | lage did not believe the construction I of a new post ofllce building would j help the town's unemployed, since the I "contractor would come from outside | and bring his own labor." Crow la Victor in Battle With Hawk Shnmokin, Pa. ? A battle between n crow and a chicken hawk in mid air Interested road workers en gaged In repairing the highway over Cameron mountain near here. The crow surprisingly won the battle, according to the witnesses. When they llrst saw the unusual conflict, the hawk was pursuing the crow. Suddenly the crow cir cled above the hawk and dropped on its back. From this vantage point It pecked at the hawk's bead. The larger bird shook off Its tormen tor. The crow maneuvered back to Its position on the hawk. Again It pecked steadily until the bird of prey dropped. The workers found the hawk dead. It measured feet from wing tip to wing tip.

SUCH IS LIFE ? The Gay Racketeers By Charles S ugh roc States in Controversy Over Rich Oyster Beds A few arguments remain unsettled in respect to boundaries and terri torial rights within jthe United States. One that has occasioned long litiga tion is the dispute between Delaware and New Jersey whether the boun dary between the two stotes lies in the deep channel of the Delaware or nearer the western shore. It Is an important question for a number of reasons, but particularly because of the rich oyster beds which lie in the lower Deluware wa ters. Probably the oysters have no opinion on the matter, but because there are taxes and revenues involved the authorities wish to know where their rlleglance lies. The answer depends lu part on the interpretation of about seventy-five maps, some of thetn dating back to l~r>0. A few among them Indicate that the I'enn grant extended only to the bank of the Delaware, but none Is exact In dividing between New Jersey and Delaware. Map makers of the past considered, no doubt, that a river was boundary enough. New Jersey makes a some what similar assumption by claiming that the line should be drawn along the main river channel, while Del aware thinks the bay should be di vided equally between the two claim ants. It is a picturesque controversy and the past and the present contribute to the evidence. The Supreme court must finally determine It and there by decide forever the citizenship of the Delaware oysters. ? New York Evening l'ost.
