Discuss Boost
In Transportation
Milk in New ENGLAND

worcester, Mass, Jan. 7.-(AP)-
Proposed increases in the transporta-
ton rates on milk in New England
which would add many thousands of
dollars to the cost Of getting milk into
the cities, were discussed here today
by Richard Pattee, managing director
of the New England Milk Producers
Association, at the dairy session of the
final Of the threc-day union agricul-
tural meetings. The railroads have
given notice that such increased rates
will be proposed and a meeting of
representative dairyment Is called for
tomorrow In Boston to see what should
be done to protect the interests Of the
farmers.
Mr.. Pattee pointed out that with the
strong effort on the part of agricu1-
tural interests Of the West to get
lower rates into eastern markets, the
New England dairy farmers might find
themselves in a position Of increased
costs at home and reduced costs of
transporting milk from the cheap pro-
ducing sections Of the West. Even at
the present rate, he said, that milk
could be brought in from the region
around Chicago and sold at a price
not more than the price from New
England sources.
Mr.. Pattee said that It was now
possible to ship milk in tank cars half
across the country and have it arrive
in good condition. He urged that the
dairymen of New England should make
careful study Of the situation and
take such steps as seem necessary to
protect the industry.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QOE0llONS AMI AN EAho
p. A. asks: Will low or q
high aerial give better results?
Answer: A high aerial will
pick up more energy and deliver
greater volume to the detector. but
it will also pick up more noise.
Thirty feet above the ground is a
good height.
G. C. l.. asks: have a S tube
set. Is it good set? How
far should l be able to receive
with it? If two B batteries show
20 volts can I use fresh one Of
As volts and get IS by connecting
all three in series? While the set
is working, at times the music
stops. starts and stops without my
touching the set. What causes this?
Answer: Your set Is all right.
It isn't the best of it's kind nor the
worst. You ought to get stations
within a 1000 mile radius under
good conditions The three bat.
teries will read IS volts. but it is
not good practice to use old and
new B batteries in the same group.
You may have very loose connec-
ton in your set or it might be the
trouble at the transmitting station
il it only happens to one station.

New Federal Bank
Establishes 4R Rate

New York, Jan. 7-(AP)-The New
Federal Reserve Bank, after retain
ing a liz percent rediscount rate
for almost a year in the face of re-
cent advances elsewhere, today fol-
lowed the lead of other reserve in
situations in establishing a percent
rate. The new change will go into
effect tomorrow.
While the action of the bank came
at a time when Wall Street was
flooded with returning funds from
the year-end disbursements of divi-
dends and interest, it nevertheless
had been foreshadowed by a steady
increase in borrowings at this center
and a gradual tightening Of credit
conditions throughout the country.
The change brings the New York
rate into closer alignment with open
market rates for call and time funds.
which recently have ranged between
and s percent
Increased demands for credit from
trade and industrial channels and
corresponding slackening in the use
of funds for speculative purposes
have been apparent since the Bos-
ton Federal Reserve Bank initiated
an increase in the rediscount rata
from 8 Ia to 4 percent last Novem.

Twice a day, at s A. NJ. and again

Washington, Jan. 7-(AP)-George
Washington University officials today

nell, has been dismissed.
BromelI. whose first issue Of the
Lash was described by William
Mather Lewis president Of the uni
versity, as positively indecent" was
contemplating court action to gain
reinstatement and declared he would
print another and "hotter" edition Of
the magazine. In 1t, an announce
ment said, would appear the two love
letters which caused a sensation in
the Rhinelander annulment suit in
New York and which were not pub
lished.
Bromell was dismissed by Presi-
dent Lewis when he refused volun-
tarily to withdraw and after accept
Ing full responsibility for the publi-
cation. DR.. Lewis said the Lash gen.
orally was in Exceedingly bad taste
but he objected particularly to an
article attacking the moral character
of George Washington while he lived
at Mount Vernon.
1.-THE university carries the name
of the father of his country" he de-
clared, land the article, besides be-
ing obscene, Is unpatriotic."
Associates of Bromen, whose
names are being sought by univer-
sity authorities, were said to be
rallying to his support in an effort 10
have him reinstated and to obtain
authority to. continue publication of
the magazine. Bromell commended his
dismissal grew out Of his campaign
against IAN all-powerful fraternity
clique" ruling the university.
The Lash was produced, an an
nouncement in 1t saids to lodge Gin
plain and unmistakable language a
protest against the existence of the
fraternal oligarchy which dominates
all seudent AFFAIRS" at the university
For many decades" it continued
"the university has been hamstrung
by a few snobs who have attempted
to run or ruin the school. Thus far
they have been successful in both
with the result that George Wash
ington University Is known only in
its immediate vicinity"
Another announcement disclosed
that a previous issue of the Lash was
attempted but was abandoned after
printing because. ut offended the
esthetic sense Of some of our mid
Vcitorians and drew from them such
a shower of criticism that its distri-
button was impossible"

inch larger and their feet are two
sizes larger than they were FIVE
years ago, George NJ. Spangler, man

Low heeled oxfords have caused
feet and ankles to grow" he said,
