yaruished truth about the status Of the

nestle problems.

tons controversy.
Naturally Mr.. Cummings would not
discuss what be said TO the president.
but he is the type of man who doesn't
hesitate to speak plainly and frankly
about weak spots, if he finds any. Tie

 One day Professor Gray was correct ing test papers in his private office be- side an open window that let in flood of sunshiny air that warmed. rather than chilled, the room. At first he sn.ffed subconsciously and then he dropped his fountain pen on his desk, laid down the test book and sniffed definitely. His thoughts took the form of "My, but that sinells like good cof- fee" He tried to go back to work when something that smeiied like the crisp Drowned edges of corn cakes baked to a turn-an aroma redoilent with recollections of his youth and cheerful thoughts of Southern mammy-tempted him again. He took in long draughts of the fragrance and then, rising followed it to the window whence it entered his room. He looked down as if expecting to see table set with coffee and corn cake In the court below, but he saw nothing save the wall of the building and numerous win dows.
 After that Gray made 1t point to finger in his office every afternoon at about that time and he never failed to leave the window open even when the afr became chill Sometimes there came the fragrance of broiling bacon, sometimes the luscious odor of boiling sugar and chocolate. Once 1t was the mingled fragrance of beef and 0pions and carrots that spelled in his mind the kind of stew the old Southern
 nanny used to make.
 Then one day when the smell had proved too tantalizing Professor Gray walked stealthily downstairs to the reimbursement section of the building and, following the luscious flavors that now positively smote him with their uyidness, he came upon an open door from whence issued the sounds of femi. nine voices and the occasional chatter

 Among the students-and the fac ulty, too, for that matter-Professor Gray had the reputation of being the best-looking professor at Morton and the most confirmed old bachelor. On the score of his old-bachelorhood- though he was not past redemption at forty-they excused various little Quips and Quirks in his disposition. Not only was Professor Gray the head of the Greek department of the college but, as son of one of the leading benefac- tors of the college, he was one Of the trustees as well. It was as trustee that his objection on general prin- cipals to domestic science and house. hold arts, as part of college curicu- lum had thus far successfully blocked the building of the new domestic science extension. The money had been raised for the building, but because the site was part of the original Gray beQuest, Professor Gray's objection made progress on the building impos- sible.
 No wonder, then, that Jean Prescott, the attractive young head of such household arts department as there was at Morton, was filled with senti- ment toward Professor Gray that was as near to that of hatred as any that had ever entered into her spacious heart. Like most household arts in structors, Jean Prescott carried into her classes and laboratory an air of rare geniality. Professor Gray seldom carried much geniality into his Greek classes and perhaps that was the fault of his boarding-house keeper, for Gray had got to the point where having tasteless coffee and cold fried eggs for breakfast was getting on his nerves. If he took real satisfaction in any thing, however, it was that so far the
