OPINIONS ARE SPLIT ON
COLLEGE BODY MERGER
Object TO Exclusion of Nine
Preparatory Schools
From Association.
.AUDs SMALL INSTITUTIONS
DIR. J. l.. Jnrnnn, New President of
Organization, Objects tu Consolida-
ton PROPOSAL IL II Would Cause
Academic Schools to lie Omitted.

Proposed merger of the Virginia
Association of Women's Colleges and
Schools with the Association of Vir-
ginia Colleges was divulged at Il
session of the former body in the
Jefferson last night. and met with
unfavorable and favorable support
The combine. II effected. would
automatically abolish the Association
of Women's Colleges, which has
ardizing educational training in this
state for more than decade. II was
emphasized that the Association OF
Virginia Colleges probably would re-
iuSe all attempts at a union on the
basis that nine preparatory schools
hold membership in the other orEan;-
zation. Delegates at the session said
a similar endeavor to effect IL merger
with the College Association n few
years ago failed. principally because
OF It's objection TO including as mem
bcrs these preparatory schools.
Or. j. L. Jarman, OF Farmville Nor
MAJ school voiced strenuous oppo-
Sition tn n union of the associa lions
unless the preparatory schools were
included. He stressed the fact that
thcse SCHOOLS mad been members of
the Virginia Association of Women,s
Colleges and Schools since it's incep-
tion hftcen years ago. and empha-
sized the fine work they had
achieved. He declared he would
stand by them and refuse to countc-
nance any action towards merger
II they were to be excluded. lie was
elected last night rs president of the
association to succeed Or. j. a. C.
Chandler. president Of the CoIIry. OF
william and Mary. and will serve in
that cartcity unless the merger Is
realized.
Virtually all the members agreed
there would he no amalSa mation un-
Tess the pre- 1aratory schools are per-
United membership. This was be-
hercd by many delegates To be i'm
probable. pointing out that IL the
merger was effected with these pre-
paratory schools countless others I'm
virginia also would request admit
lance to the association.

provisions of the act OF 1919. which
have been criticized during the past
week. and transfers the duty of de-
cidinE between routes, alloca ling
construction funds and awarding CON
tracts from the commissioner to the
hve members of the commission. who
VIII be appointed by the Governor.
The rd-Ozlin bill also imposes
duties upon the commission
Both bills contain the provision OF
the act OF 1919, authorizing the COM
mission 10 fix salaries OF engineers and
employees. condemn rights q. way,
promulSate rules and regulations
governing traffic over the State high
ways. etc.
From the foregoing analysis and
comparison of the two bills II Will
DC seen that minor difference oc:
ours in the provisions specifying the
attractions of the commissioner.
The Byrd Oslin bin requires him TO
be business man. Senate bill No.
&c provides he shall be an engineer
skilled in road building. On this
point ii is the consensus of expert
opinion. well as general experience.
that the construction and maintcn-
ancc of roads is an engineering prob
lem and that the commissioner should
he an engineer.
Strengthens Former I.nws
The vital point of difference be-
tween til" two bills Is that Senate
bill No. &c strengthens the former
act by incorporating the amendments
which experience has demonstrated
are desirable. and which fully COM
plies with the criticisms o: the past
year, whereas the Byrd Ozlin hill is
in all essential respects substantial
iy like Senate bill No. 26. except that
II repeals the existing State Highway
Commission act. and thereby removes
Commissioner Coleman from Office
before the expiration or his term by
legislative enactment.
Some Of the advocates of the
Byrd-ozlin bill are stating that one
man should not Ice allowed to stand
III the way OF highway development
in virginia. ! fully agree with this
statement, hut deny that Commission
or Coleman is tho man standing in
the way Of highway development.
Even his enemies conccdc his honesty
and impartiality. and al fair-mindcd
people ooncede his faithfulncss and
ability as Highway Commissioner.
Mr.. Shirley, OF Maryland. and other
leading engineers oc the country have
stated that il would cost the State Of
Virginia a great deal of money If Mr..
Coleman should he removed. II is
not one. but Il few men. who arc
blocking highway development. and
these few are avowedly after Com

The provisions OF Senate bill No.

Everyone loves strawberry jam. For a spread on bread or hot bis cults, nothing seems to equal it. Its wonderful flavor makes children of us all. Until now, however, an ex- pert was required to make it. Until now, also it has been expensive. Certo, natural product of fruit, has solved the problem so that everyone can make and eat this de- licious conserve.
 To Make Strawberry Jam by the Certo Process:
 Crush we'll in single layers about two quarts of ripe berries, using wooden masher and discarding all green parts. Measure cups crushed berries and 71a leveled cups (3A lbs.) sugar into good sized preserving kettle. Mix well stir hard and constnantly. Bring to vigorous boil and boil hard 1 full minute, continually stirring. Take from fire and add F bottle (scant F cup) Certo, stirring it in well. Let stand 5 minutes only, by the clock, stirring occasionally; skim and pour quickly into sterilized glasses. Result is 10 half-pound glasses of strawberry jam for total cost of 97 cents Strawberries at BOG a box and sugar at Sc lb).
 This Certo process banishes all the guess work or worry as perfect results are certain. Unlike the old method of pound for pound" mix t,,r boiled for thirty or more min utes, with consequent loss of fruit
