Skin to Save Life
of Father

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. %.
Bearing scars that he will
carry to the grave, but regard
ing himself as amply rewarded
by the knowledge that the
50 pieces of skin he gave have
saved his fathers life, Sampson
Rotter, seventeen-year-old stu
dent in the Duquesne High
School, will leave the West
Penn Hospital tomorrow morn
ing.
After receiving assurance
that his father no longer was
in danger, young Rotter fretted
about his exams and gained
an earlier discharge from the
hospital through his pleas to be
allowed to get back to. school.
Three months ago the boys
father, Frank Rotter, suffered
an injury to the little finger of
the right hand. Blood poison
ing set in and Rotter was taken
to the hospital. After two
months treatment the surgeons
announced that healthy skin
would have to be grated on
both the mans arms. His son
promptly volunteered to give,
the skin required, and he en-
tered the hospital. Ninety-five
pieces Of skin were removed
from the boys side and legs
and grated onto the fathers
arms.

WESTMINSTER, Nd, Jan. 2S.--
When the cooks and stewards at
Western Maryland College began to
say it with souse a week ago.
several groups of students got up
from the tables and left the dining
hall. Two days later the entire
student body Of about 400 launched
a hunger strike.
The strike is over now. It was
on Saturday, January Is, at supper
time that they served the picked
souse that broke the students
patience. Sunday passed quietly
but threateningIy. No one wanted
open warfare on Sunday, but on
Monday. January Is. the college
dining hall echoed to the footballs
OF walters wandering among empty
tables.
Blamed on the Unworthy.
Breakfast was cooked for a stu
dent body that never came to eat 1t,
ana there was no use cooking
lunch because by lunch time the
signs OF revolt were unmistaLabIe
and q formal protest by the stu
dents was being prepared In writing.
Yesterday the Rev. DR.. A. NJ.
Ward. president of the college, de-
clared nothing In the situation was
worth talking about. He, said ali
the unpleasantness had been
fomented by a handful Of unworthy
students. He admitted that they
had had some following. but laid
that to the mob tendency" among
human beings, especially youths
Not Like DelmOnicOs.
Students who have been asked
about 1t agree. however, that the
hunger strike was not a prank by
q handful of students, but serious
protest by the entire student body.
DR.. Ward himself seemed to re-
gard lit as serious enough for In
vestigatton and. limited that there
would be explosions and suspen-
siona.
II feel ike spanking some OF
them he said. 1--WE can't set q
table like Delmonico's here because
we haven't money enough. When
students pay $500 o year for every.
thing, including room, board and
tuition, they can't expect fancy
meals. We do try to give them
pienV Of wholesome food. Our
records show that they gain an
average Of five pounds In weight

MEMORIAL INTRODUCED
 TO MOVE EXPERIMENT
 STATION FROM SlTKA

Removal of the Agricultural Ex- presiment Station from Sitka to some other ro.nt in Alaska where it will be more useful, is sought in House Memorial No. 20, which was intro duced yesterday by Representative Keys. of Faerblnks. He also asks that tho buildings and grounds now used by tho station be donated by the Department of Agriculture to the Territory for use by the Pioneers Home.
 Tho Sitka station is used by Dr. c. c. Gcorgeson, Agronomist in Charge of all the Alaska agricultural experiment stations. It is not locat- ed in a region greatly susceptible to agricultural development ac- cording to tho memorial. It would be more beneficial to the Territory and could do moro extensive work in the interior valleys of Alaska, said Mr Keys.
 The Pioneers Home. it is pointed out, is handicapped in carrying out its purpose of caring for aged and infirm pioneers, by reason of its lack of ground both for cultivation and for buildings and could use to advantage the experiment station site and property.
