LIVELY FIGHT EXPECTED.
Contest Over Resident Physician
Of the N. A. C..

COLLEGE PARK, Md, February IL
When the board of trustees of the Mary
land Agricultural College meet at An
napolis tomorrow there. is apt to be a
lively contest over the appointment of a
resident physician at the institution.
Pending the meeting of the trustees. Capt.
r. w. Sylvester. president of the college.
named DR.. John Parran Briscoe of Wash
ington. son of Judge John P. Briscoe of
the Maryland court Of appeals. to tenn
porarily succeed DR.. W. 0. diversified,
whose death occurred last month. DR..
Briscoe is a nephew of Mrs Sylvester,
wife of the president.
1t is believed that President Sylvester
will make an effort to have the executive
committee of the board confirm his tenn
pOrary appointment. but it is certain that
some of the trustees will not vote with
the executive committee when the ap-
pointment is made. Should the executive
committee, composed of five members,
vote unanimously for DR.. Briscoe's APP
pointment the chances are that the ap-
pointment will be confirmed in boa rd
The main obstacle to the con-
firmation of President Silvesters appoint
ment is the reported desire OF Speaker j.
Enos Ray to secure the place for one of
his constituents, DIR. Harry Naliey of
Brentwood, Prince George county. Dr.
Nalley is a resident and voter in Speak
er Rays home district
DR.. Charles a. Wells OF Hyattsviile has
written strong letter to the board of
trustees urging the appointment Of DR.. c.
w. Birdsall of Hyattsville. and his son.
Robert w. Wells, twice a member of the
Maryland house of delegates. is urging
the appointment of DR.. Guy w. Latimer
also of Hyattsville. Charles III. Stanley.
a member of the board of trustees. IL
favora BILE to the appointment of DR. John
Cronmiller of Laurel.
The board will meet in the governors
office, and will probably dine at Carvel
Hall after the meeting. The executive
committee OF the trustees will be enter
tanned by James NJ. Monroe. one of the
trustees, at his home, Annapolis. Tuesday

SELLING flour in West Africa.

The method of doing business is to
sell the goods on credit to the women,
who are the principal traders of the
country, and who in turn resell it in
smaller quantities. For instance, the
woman trader will come along and
purchase one barrel or ten barrels Of
-four. This will be taken to her hut.
where she will peddle out the -four in
smaller quantities, her principal GUS
toners being the native bakers, who
are also women.
The principal foods of the country
are native corn, sweet potatoes, yams,
plantains and bananas, 1t is through
the education Of the trader that these
West Africans are coming to use and
appreciate commodities which are the
necessities of life in this country.
