PROFESSORS RAP
!. HASTY CLUSTERS
Declare Universities Should
Avoid Outside Pernicious
Influences.
By tho Associated Press.

by thr Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December IL
A university should be slow to dis
miss any professor when that dis
missal may be even remotely at
trtbuted to outside pernicious inf1u-
cnce," the Association of University
Professors declared yesterday in
making public its report on an in
vestigation OF conditions at the Uni
Versity of Arizona, covering the two
Years of President Cloyd Marvin's ad-
ministration. The institution, the re-
mort adds, should prefer to retain a
mediocre professor rather than to
give an appearance of moleSting aca-
demic independence and freedom.
The report is concerned chiefly with
the dismissal of A. f. Vinson, pro-
fessor of agricultural chemistry; the
dismissal of Prof. Derosette Thomas
of the department of home economics
and the resignation of Prof. Charles
y. Turrell of the department of Span
ish.
Probe Charges.
Charges that the copper interests of
Arizona, which are said to pay a large
proportion of the State taxes. were
instrumental in bringing about the
dismissal of Prof. NinSOn were in
Hestigated by the association. Testi-
mony which Prof. Ninson gave in a
suit arising from the alleged injury
of smelter fumes to agricultural
crops was said to have been adverse
to the copper mines. In regard to
Prof. Vinson, the investigating COM
mittee expressed the belief that his
shortcomings in carrying through his
experimental station projectS-the
chief cause alleged for his dismissal
-"were not sufficient to offset his
long and honorable period of service
to the institution and the State"
Prof. Thomas dismissal and Prof.
Turrelrs resignation came after long
terms of service, and were caused by
he sudden appointment of new de-
partment heads and the reorganiza-
tion of departments, the committee
found, adding:
Think Move UnractfuI.
THE committee recognizes that no
infringement of academic tenure or
freedom is involved in the admins
trative shifting of the headship of a
department from one person to
another, but they believe that Presi-
dent Marvin's decision, taken after a
very short term in Office, was un-
taCtful and ill-advised, and that it is
largely responsible for the disquiet
among the faculty.
Less drastic changes and the sort of
consultation with faculty judicial
committee which would leave no
doubt that whatever changes were
made were made solely in the interests
of the university would have produced
the desired raising of standards more
slowly, but without the present un-
fortunate results"

Letter from John Alden Prescott to
 Sydney Carton

My Dear Syd: I cant tol1 you how disappolnted I vas when re- cnived your wire. You know I really expected to find you here when I arrived, but If you are com- ing in the last Of Inc week, as you promised, I'll forgive you this time.
 You didn't say what was detain- Ing you, hope it IS business and not illness. You didn't look very well the last time I saw you.
 Enclosed Ir this you will find letter from Paula Pcrier, That girl iS the most surprising piece of the female species I have ever encoun- tered. Do yoD reatly think she meant what she sald or was she only hIufhng wien she darrI me 10 show he letter I anu sending you to Leslie. She snms 10 have trans ferrcd all the affection shc eyer had for me 10 my wife. Now isn't that B situation for your life!
 Some of these funny men who sre always oartoomug anl joking about How tlase women love each other should read that sentence in FauIas letter where she says of Leslie Tt is not to you, John Prescott, that l o7e my bclirf in a, God and Q feeling that soma- where, some time, some way every thing will b. all right, but 10 your wife"

I think, however, must slse have some good points, for otherwise two such women as Les lie and Paula would not have loved me, and such splendid old dear as you would not he my friend through thick and thin.
 You called the turn, syd, when you said that probably Paula would take back her offer Of half her salary for little Jack, although think now she has a very good excuse for not dofng so. Her best bet is 10 forget him as we'll as me.

receiver to his ear and was asking questions of Edith before had finished,
 "Whcre did you find her? Had she fallen? Did she strike her head? Is there any wound upon her head? How Is she breathing? Is her pulse weak or huttering? Is her face flushed or palo?"
 He fairly hurled the questions Into the telephone and when he had received the answers, gave crisp lucid directions for the treat ment of my mother-tn. until the arrival Of a physician.
 Get one as soon as you can," he finished. and call us up again as soon as you have followed my directions, IL will be safe to leave her then while you tell Mrs. Gra- ham the details and arrange for the things you want doIe Of course, call me again here if you need me"
 He put the receiver in place and turned 10 me.
 "rhey found her outside in the shrubbery adjoining the rose gar den Of your old home in Marvin, |" hs said succinctly. They do not know whether she was struck. or fell, or had some severe shock. It was probably one of the three, for as far as my knowledge of your mother-in-la goes, there was nothing in her condition to warrant so sudden and signal a collapse, There is an abrasion on the side of her face, but no other wound that they can discover. l do not think you need be unduly alarmed, although, Of course. her condition Is serious You will hear of more details when Miss Fairfax tele- phones again. In the meantime, you'd better prepare for hurried tourney to Marvin"

Now we must plan some way of escaping from old Magician Mug gles!" the little Captain told Rag gedy Ann as they sat upon the deck Of the little white magical boat and watched the trees whiz by,
 The only thing is," Raggedy Ann replied, Magician Muggles seems 10 be ahlc to fly faster than OUT little white ma agicsl boat and whenever we least expect it, he comes poI<ng around the corner Of the cabin"
 That is quite true, Raggedy Ann" the little Captain said, Magician Muggles must work magic to fly so fast and catch up with us, And l am afraid that we Uill not be able to fool him again hy putting gum drops under his feet so that he can not walk
 Aha, I just guess you won't" Magician Nuggles. howIed as he poked his head around the corner Of the cabin. "Raggedy- Andy pushed me from the boat right into big mud puddle the last time, but this time I have g rope tied around my waist and fastened to a ring in the boat, so no matter If some one does run up behind me and gives me 3 push, I shall not tumble from the boat into a mud puddle"
 I've wish you would run home and see your mama" Eaggedy Ann said. We do not care to have you ! snooping around on our nice little , white boat when you are not in- , yited,'
 Aha. ha. hal" the Magician laughed very rudely. T invited my self! That's what's. Cause l intend 10 capture this boat for my own use I have always wanted magi- cal boat with magical cupbords and an ice cream soda water fountain in the cabin. Now is my chance and I shall make all of you leave the boa~
 We shall never leave" Rag. Eedy Ann said ds she stamped her rag foot. This is our boat and fl vou want q magical boat, you can just run home and use your own magical charms and make one. The wizard made this one as easy ss pie with his magical charms, go , loI can do the same.' My magic isn't working very good" Muggles howled. The weather is too dry! Besides, this boat IS already made and ] want it."
 All the time the Magician vas talking, Raggedy Andy had been tiptoeing up behind him and seeing i the rope which the Magician had ! tied around his waist and to a ring in the' boat. Raggedy Andy very quietly united the rope from the ring and tied a large loop in the end Of the rope.
 Then. Raggedy Andy tossed the end of the rope with the loop in ! it over the side of the boat, SO that Inc loop trailed along behind the little boat on the ground.

 At the first word, pr. Petit started forward, and before l had finished, I felt his admonitory hand firmly pressing my shoulder.

 In the evening a good suggestion is milk toast or rice or macaroni with bread and milk. Have some vegetable whether in soup or puree. Also eggs can be used in various forms. If not directly served they can be put in buildings CT soups, or served poached or scrambled. Have simple dessert, such as ginger bread or stewed fruit.

TABLES ON HEALTH
SCHOOL AGE" FOOD

When a school age has been reached particular attention to the food should be given.
 A good breakfast is essential, & substantial midday meal and a light supper are advised by food experts
 Thus, an ideal food program for a school child would be something like this:
 Cereal, well cooked. MIX with bread and butter. Eggs, bacon and fruit if desired.
 Noon meal: Bread and butter. milk, meat or fish or eggs. There

 The light of battle came into Corrigan's eyes. With a deft move ment, he brought his pony round, ! tucked to avoid the descending stock, and sent Jacobson headlong from the saddle, his riderless beast, with stirrups dangling, plunging madly toward the sea-shore.
