JOBLESS PROfESSORS
TO INSTRUCT NEEDY
Offer College Course to the
Youths Out of Work.
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. Clas?
rooms and dormitories will be In old
houses and halls In Port Royal, long
out of use, which have been leased by

their owners at fees that are said to
be below the deadline of moderation.
Just how Doctor Hill was led to se
lect Port Royal has not been revealed,
but "the eternal fitness of things" may
have been a facto* The depression
hit the town long before the depres
sion college was thought of.
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.

You CVt Cut Out a
Disposition
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Lata Dm of M?m,
Uaivwiiljr^f Illinois.
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.

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.

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

Mr. Terry said that the village hart
been opposed to the construction ever
since It first had been proposed, about
four year ago.
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. The crow
was a medium-sized representative
of its kind.

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
