HARTNESS STARTED
INKWELL AT BATES
Sen. Cady Confirms Reports of
Stormy Interview

That the press accounts of the at
tempt of Governor James Hartness to
hurl an inkwell at Highway Commits
sioner Stoddard Bates in a stormy in
terview last week are substantially cor
rect was the only information that
Senator Willis N, Cady of Middlebury
would give to The Register when seen
Tuesday at the Town Meeting. The
Senator and Julius Wilcox were the
only witnesses of the executive wrath
and vengeful endeavor, the former
having been requested by Mr.. Bates
to attend him as his aide and the lat
ter having answered the beck Of the
governor to act as his second in the
verbal combat that both officials SEEM
ed to expect to result from their meet
ing.
1t was reported that his excellency
accused the commissioner of refusal to
answer requests for information con-
corning his department. This Bates
denied it was said, in no uncertain
terms. Whereupon the governor seized
an inkwell from his desk and was about
to throw 1t at the challenger of his
veracitv when his aim was intercepted
by both Senator Cady and Secretary
Wilcox, the ink spilling over the
gubernatorial hands. r
1t was reported in some quarters
that Bates had passed "the lie direct"
to the governor This Senator Cady
denied in the following statement, a
single and only sentence, that he die
tated for publication. "T do not deny
that this incident happened, he said.
"but l would deny that Mr.. Bates call
ed the Governor a liar" Bates said
nothing more than that he had not
refused departmental information to
either the governor or any other citi-
zen, Mr. Cady remarked, and this
without any show of passion. 1t was
then that Mr. Hartness picked up the
inkwell, the senator's fragmentary de
scription continued, and he and Mr..
Wilcox interviewed. The ink was not
spilled over the senator's clothes, he
said. He appeared deeply moved at
the recollection of the incident
Mr.. Cady said that he had not
heard Mr.. Bates threaten during the
interview to ;esign. The senator said
that he would not speak for publica-
ton and did not care to further dis
cuss the incident until requested by
the proper authority, when he would
tell freely what he knew. With this he
cut short the interview and hurried to
the town hall stage to cast his ballot
for Middlebury's road commissioner

AUTHOR LIVED LIFE
OF SONS OF THE SEA
Prof. McFarlaRd'S New Book Has
Big Personal Element

One winter morning when Raymond
Mcfarland, Yale student, was hurry
ing across the campus reading the
newspaper as he went, his eye caught
the headline account of the shipwreck
of the Gloucester schooner yosemite"
on the Nova Scotia shore. That was
the vessel in which he had faced the
storms and dangers of the Atlantic and
some of the men who went down with
the schooner had been his shipmates.
Twenty years afterwards Professor
Mcfarland makes the wreck of the
Yosemite" live again in a thrilling
chapter of his new book "Sons of the
Sea-, just published by the Putnam's
press. Before his college days began
the professor was riding atop the
ocean in the jaunty fishing schooner
and his friends say that he kept care
full account each day of his adventures
in an unpublished "Log of the Yose-
mite, Be that as it may, the author
knows his subject well and draws from
real experiences when taking his read
ers through his narratives of sea life.
In his first sea story, skipper John
OF the Nimbus", Professor Mcfarland
made use of his knowledge of the
mackerel seine fishery as realistic
background for the adventures Of his
hero. In "Sons of the Sea" he portrays
the hardships and dangers Of the
Georges Bank trawler in manner to
cause one to wonder why the hardy
fisherman of Gloucester ever ventures
back to the fishing grounds once he
gets ashore. But the lure of the tide,
the challenge of the tempest, and the
red-looded fight upon the open seas
for their daily bread draw the fisher
man back to his nets as surely as the
magnet turns the steel. All this is set
forth accurately and vividly by the
author Then, too, romance creeps in,
for there is a daring heroine who
braves the perils of the sea in search
of her evasive hero. A ten-year- old
boy and a little brown dog, both fa-
miliar objects to Middlebury folks are
the realistic models that Professor Nc
Farland had in mind when developing
the two friends-Peep an Tote-whose
adventures add not a little spice to the
story.

WOMEN EXCEL MEN
IN COLLEGE WORK
Semester Report Also Notes Better
Success of NeutraIS

The women students of Middlebury
College excelled the men during the
first semester, according to report
recently issued by Miss Jennie Bristol,
Registrar. The margin OF five and
one fifth points between their respec-
tive averages is better by one and four
fifths points than a similar classroom
superiority of the co-eds over their
brothers of the campus in the same
period last year. The girls attained
the high average of 1882 per cent. The
boys fell quite short of 80 with their
best united effort halted at 1881 per
cent. This book victory of women
over the men is usual, say faculty
members.
That the social activities of under
graduate organizations are factor in
the classroom can be inferred from the
same report. In both colleges the
''neutrals", or non-fraternity and non
sorority students excelled when COM
pared with the standing of the organi-
cations as a whole. The girls without
society affiliations averaged two ifths
of a point better than their sorority
sisters. These societies often make
choice of the best students for their
initiates, yet with even this expert
help they have fallen behind, In 1919
the girls figures were reversed by one
twentieth Of a point The men this
year have reduced the last year margin
of non-frat superiority from four and
one fifth to a mere one fifth of point.
In the scholarship standing of the
sororites of the college the Alpha CHS
lead with S424 per cent. Pi Beta Phi
is only little behind, with Sigma Kap-
pa next, and the Neutrals fourth. The
Tri- Delts are a poor last with only
1897 yet higher than the Delta upsl-
Ion men who lead the fraternities with
1859. The Kappa Delta Rios follow,
closely pressed by the Neutrals. Alpha
Sigma Phi the Dekes and the Chi
Psis have less than a point for margin.
The general average of the students
of the college during the semester was
SO.96 per cent The seniors set the
mark in both the mems and women's
departments. In the Sophomore class
the girls were the better students
by more than 6 points, while in the
1hree other classes the women main
tain good lead.

most recent instance OF this Is one Oh

N other words. the eating or human
flesh BY human beings.
This defense is scientific, not ethical
and il merely made from the STANDPOINT

factor in the cause and prevention OF
the disease. His conclusion II that the
determining factor is the quality OF the
protein in the diet.
Proceeding further. the doctor e1-
plains that chemical analysis has shown
that protetns are largely made up OF
arnino-acids. upon which their nutritiVe
value depends. Then comes the state
