The statehood convention that met
at Phoenix Saturday, will not amount
TO much In the way of pushing single
statehood propaganda. 1t refused to

the other side will not make many cor

DR.. Charles V. Darlington OF

against the management of the
commissary department of the
Virginia Military Institute, stat
ing that the food furnished the
cadets is far worse than that served
the convicts in the Virginia peni-
Tertiary. These complaints were
investigated by the Board of Visi.
tors at their recent meeting in Lex
ington and the conclusion reached
wss THAT there is no just ground
for the statement that the cadets
do not receive sufficient food for
proper nonrishment. All the con.
ditions, now and heretofore, refute
such a statement" Mr.. Alexan-

declared his intention of replying
to the charges, which he donomi-
mated as "all lot of nonsense -

tion among the cadets, however,
