counties; and progressive and wide
awake Y. M. G. A. which has not only
greatly increased its membership Of
late years but is nov fitting up for
, club room for students. An inter-
esting phase Of faculty activity is a
get together meeting of instructors,
held at regular intervals in the presl-
dents home during the course of
, which a faculty member addresses his
colleagues on subject related to his
special field of knowledge. At the
same time teachers are taking active
part in extra-curricula phases of col
lege life; athletics, music and club
work being some of the more import
ant diversions of instructors. Mean
while professors have joined many
learned and scientific societies in their
special fields of endeavor, thus keep
ing touch with work in the ground Of
which they themselves are specialists.
! Another phase of this broadening
out process on the part of Washington
college is its recent admission into
membership by the Association of A
merican Colleges and Universities.
Shortly prior to this the Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools of
the Middle States and Maryland, a
standardizing body, placed the Shore
college on the "white list" and made
it an accredited, Class A college. This
action, based upon it's present AGA
demic standing as well as upon some
of the phases of college work men,
toned above, puts Washington on a
par with any college in the country
and makes the academic degrees con-
ferred by the college equal in distinc-
ton to similar degrees granted by all
other American colleges.
Under the graduate manager sys-
tenn of athletics Washington College
sports are on higher and more -four
ishing basis than ever before. Re-
Gently the college joined the Middle
Atlantic States Athletic Conference
in basketball and tennis, and will play
the teams of that organization during
the coming seasons. Washington is
the only Maryland college playing in
all other State colleges in basketball
as well as teams of other States. Bas-
! ketball, base ball, football track
sports, ice hockey and tennis are some
of the athletic diversions of this col
,lege where opportunity knocks more
than once at every students door.
Add to these facts certain evidences
that Washington College is fast be-
coming an even greater factor in the
social and economic life Of the entire
Eastern Shore than it has ever been
before and the investigator to whom
these phases of college life in Ches.
tertown have been disclosed may well
feel that such widespread influence is
both justified and inevitable.

Ocean Hides Secrets
of MISSING Vessels

More than LOCO American naval
| men have gone down to watery graves
in score of vessels that have dis
appeared from the face of the earth,
without a trace. From the brig Re-
prisal, lost in September 1777. to the
tug ConestOga, that disappeared in
the Pacific in 1921, there is a chapter
of naval history on which the Navy
department is able to throw but little
light.
Outstanding among the unaccOunted-
for craft in modern days is the naval
collier CyclOps. concerning which
there Is a maze of fanciful theory,
but no official fact.
During q wide stretch of years,
from the Civil war period to nearly
the World war era, naval annals are
devoid of entries concerning lost ships.
Three have vanished from the seas
since the beginning Of the present
century. however. In spite of the

was scuttled. and that an enemy sub

AGRICULTURE
A MINUTE A DAY
MAKES MILKING PAY

One more minute per COW per day
spent in weighing out the feed con-
sumed and milk produced by each ami
NAL, would show the dairyman which
of his cows are really working for
him and which are loafing on the job,
according to the Larrowe Institute Of
Animal Economics. Thirty-one Sec
onds per milking is all the time the
farmer needs to keep tab on the per-
formance of each of the cows in his
herd.
"The majority of dairymen who do
not keep records of the feed con-
sumption or milk production Of the
cows, are working under the delusion
that the keeping of such records you'd
take up more time than they could we'll
afford to spare" according to the In
stitute. "They are wrong. Actual
timber under practical conditions con-
Quoted by the Institute, shows that
it takes only eleven seconds more Der
COW for each of two feelings to weigh
out the exact feed, than it takes where
the feed is not weighed. To weigh and
record the milk from each cow was
found to take only twenty seconds
more per milking than it takes to
just dump the milk over the cooler, or
forty seconds for the two mjlkings.
In all, no more than 81 seconds, or
about minute, is required to have
a complete record of each cows feed
consumption and milk production.
Roughly speaking, there are only
three distinct types of cows. The Su-
sizes, who are good lockers, but simply
haven't the capacity when it comes to
the milk pail. All feeds they get a.
bcve the amount required to produce
their limited quantities Of milk and
keep them in condition, are wasted.
The Beetles are thin, emanciated Gre
atures who look as though they were
ready to lie down and quit, but which
have an inherited ability to produce
milk that will often lead them to take
it right off their own backs. Gener.
ally these are sadly underfed, SO that
they are using only a portion of their
capacity. Then there are the Dollies
the army fwaster cows that SIM
ply can't produce milk proftably'
They eat and eat and their owners
have noither beof nor MILL IN cho1S
for it. They are overdue at the butch
er's. Such cows are in every herd
where the dairyman does not feed in
accordance with milk capacity and
production. Keeping feed and milk
records will show the dairyman how
to profit from the Susies, cash in full
ly on the Beetles, and how to avoid
losses on the Dollies.

NINE REASONS FOR
AMERICAN PROSPERITY

Two young Englishmen have beer
making a study of American pros
perity, and have evolved nine reason!
in explanations:
One-Promotion in America is b,
merit.
Two-America sticks to small prof
its and quick returns, on immense ant
rapid turnover.
Three-Rapid turnover is securet
by simplificatio and cheapening O.
processes which necessitates les
capital.
Four-America shows endless keen
ness in devising time-saving ant
trouble saving appliances.
IFive-The American employer j.
not hostile to high wages.
Six-American manufacturers co
operate by exchanging ideas.
Seven-Americans are vigilant ant
acute in eliminating waists.
Eight-American welfare methods
double high wages by surrounding
the workers with cleanliness ant
light.
Nine - Americans encourage re-
search.

Convenience also depends in large
measure on adequate storage facili-
ties for utensils and supplies and on
coed connections with the rest of tire
house.
Light, air, and privacy are the
prime considerations in the bedrooms.
A clothes closet wide enough for a
pole and hangers, not just a shallow
crbby hole that tries to pass for a
closet, should connect with every bed
room.
| A closet for linen and bedding is al
so needed in this section Of TIE house.
Every house should also have stor-
age place for trunk, suitcases, and
clothing not in use.
A sleeping porch is very desirable
1t will be more convenient and coin.
Portable if screened against flies anC
mosquitoes and fitted with windows
or canvas curtains to keep out rain
and snow. Broad overhanging caves
are also protection against wind
weather, and light and give privacy.
Keep the bathroom small so thai
there will be less floor and wall space
to clean. If possible have built-ir
tub which leaves no parts of wall anc
floor difficult to reach for cleaning
BY all means have cupboard for TOT:
let supplies and the small article:
that often clutter the bathroom, ant
small closet for storing towels.
Halls provide passageway from room
to room to room and insure privacy
They should occupy only a relativel!
small proportion of the total fiool
space. An entrance hall even if nj
larger than vestibule is desirable il
every house, and if possible there
should be coat closet opening of
this hall.
The stairway, whether boxed in OF
open, should have steps Of height
and width that are easy to travel, ane
should be well lighted at night as wei
as during the day.
In choosing the material and finish
for floors, walls, and inside trim thinl
of them in terms of care and upkeeI
and measure the cost of these as wei
as the original outlay.
These points mentioned so far hav'
to do especially with the inside of tn
house. Porches, steps, and walks, how
ever, greatly influence comfort, con
venience, and the work required t.
keep the house clean.

CONVENIENT HOUSES
MAKE BETTER HOMES

commencement moderate cost is one
Of the most important features thai
a better homes demonstration house
can show to community" says Dr.
Louise Stanley, chief of the Bureau Of
Home Economics Of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
For two years Doctor Stanley has
been on the Advisory Committee OF
Better Homes in America and has
helped to pick the prize houses. Con-
venience is one of the things she looks
for first in sizing up a house plan.
She believes Of course that a house
should be attractive inside and out,
and that every effort should be made
to provide sound construction and
safeguards against fire and other
risks. In planning, building, and fur
|nishing house DR.. Stanley says more
thought needs to be given to the fea-
lures that make for comfort and ease
of care.
Plan the house to meet the needs
of the people who are. to live in It,
and be sure that the exterior design
fits the site. Consider the placing If
the rooms as regards sunshine and
prevailing winds.
Give careful thought to the ar
rangement Of rooms in the three chief
areas for. living, sleeping land work.
Make these groups convenient in
themselves and to each other.
Measure large pieces Of furniture
and plan the rooms to fit them.
The living room should be large,
light, and airy. If necessary, sacri-
flee the size of the dining room to
make large living room, or have on
ly dining alcove, or make a combi-
nation living and ding room.
Economic also On something else
if ecessary and have a generous SUBJ
stantial fire place in the living room.
With good central heating system
q fire place is not needed for heat ex-
cept perhaps between seasons, but ev-
cry home needs the beauty and cheer
of an open fire. An ash chute to the
basement lessons the work of caring
for fireplace. If possible, arrange a
cupboard or closet off the living
room for papers, magazines, games,
music, and extra firewood.
The kitchen is whole problem in
itself, but to put it briefly It should
be as compact as possible with equip
ment set at comfortable height and
grouped into well-lighted, well-venti-
lated centers for the various jobs.

WASHINGTON COLLEGE.

The administrative machinery by
which every college is run, it has been
said consists of two phases. First
the internal mechanism that keeps
things going in classroom, office dor
mitory and around the campus gener-
ally and second, the ceasless dynamo
of energetic contact with the outer
world, radiating the colleges surplus
vitality throughout the community
and, at the. same time, drawing in
spiration, information and force from
without. A recent examination of
the workings of Washington Col
lege in Chestertown reveals a we'll
oiled and efficient machine.
The college functions from within
Immediately thru the Deans office.
Here an experienced officer of the
school, with his secretary, ministers
to the needs of students. The Regis
trar, in whose office secretary is al
so on duty, keeps watch over the AGA
denic standing of students and COM
piles various statistical lists necessary
to the proper management of an up
to-date college. In the presidents
outer office secretary is stationed
to assist in the administrative ma
chlnery and to keep pace with the ex-
ecutive's duties. Three administra-
tive officers and three secretaries thus
are constantly at work in this smooth
running internal machine. Of course
men and women are academic equals
at the Shore college but a separate
dean is assigned the latter. In the IL
brary trained and experienced IL
brarian, with student assistants, man.

ment. With offices in the gymnasium
the athletic director, with his assist
ants keeps watch over the physical
training of men and women students.

developed to high degree, are debat-

COURT BALKS CUPID
AND JAIL WEDDING

DALLAS. Jan. 3o.-Cupid lost out
in Judge Earle Hurts court Saturday
morning when the court refused two
yearning hearts their desire to marry
in the Dallas county Jail.
Instead of thei contemplated mar
riage, which they sought Though in
junction proceedings, the man was
returned to his cell in the jail to
await trial on assault charges. As
sistant District Attorney George G..
Pierson recommended that the girl be
sent TO the girls training school at
Gainesville.
The man is held in Jail without
bond on a statutory charge. A wed
ding planned for Christmas week was
prevented by Sheriff Marshall and
District Attorney Shelby Cox. They
claimed it would ruin the states case
against the man.
The girls mother, who is q sister
in-Iaw OF the man charged. testified
she was willing for her daughter 10
marry him. She said he is 81 years
old and her daughter only II.
The little pale-cheeked girl took
tie stand and said she wanted to
marry the man whom the state has
charged with contributing to her de-
linquency.
