WOMAN MANAGER MAKES
YALE "COMMONS" PAY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, March 12.-The
old saying that a wOman's place is ir
the home has a modern version that
has been proven at Yale University
1t is: When home economics are
| transplanted into mans domain. the
woman wins out.
For many years men managed Com
mons, in which the student body ate
but seldom was profit balance shown
Often the deficits were so large that
a real problem was offered. Students
frequently rebelled because their stom
achs were not wholly in sympathy
with the menus.
Now that Miss Cora c. Colburn has
been formally made director of Dining
Halls at Yale after two years expert
mentation with he. ideas and menus
the university has announced thai
woman management has rounded the
financial angles and lifted the studen,
body above the dangers Of dyspepsia
A policy at Yale for years placed re
sponsibility for student health as wei
as intellectual training upon it's Off
GERS. The policy of athletics for all, -
which brought 90 per cent of the
student body into training, was
deemed lacking unless the university
officers knew what the student ate.
Miss Colburn was lent by the Univer-
sity of Chicago TO work out the meal
problem in Commons. The corpora.
ton made 1t compulsory for fresh
men to eat regularly there. while the
upper classmen could either have
meals or a cafeteria service which
Miss Colburn offered.
At the outset 62f meals q day were
served. In December, 1925, the figure
had risen to 1872 daily and the aver
age cost per meal in the cafeteria had
not exceeded AZ cents.

VERD|CTS CONFLICT
ON CAT MUT|LAT|ON
Independent Inquiries on
Charges Against Students
by Humane Society.

Two investigations. which have been
conducted Independently by officials OF
George Washington University and
the Washington Humane Society in
the accusation by the society that one
or more university students mutilated
a cat and exhibited its eyes in jew
elry box at the institution's cafeteria,
took divergent turns today. The uni
versity is satisfied that three youths
implicated, none of whom is now on
the roster, were not guilty of cruelty
to animals while the society looks
with skeptcism on the stories told yes
terday afternoon by the former stu
dents that two cats they dissected
first had been killed with ether.
University Closes Inquiry.
The university closed the incident.
while the society announced it's case Is
far from completion. Dean Howard l..
Hodgkins said his investigation de-
veloped that the accused young men
had bought ether for the specific pur-
pose Of killing the cats. and after they
were dead the operations were per-
formed. Two of the students, Henry
r. Blount of Fort Lauderdale, Fla,
and Joseph T. Caples of Chattanooga,
Tenn. had been dropped from the rolls
for delinquency in studies prior to dis
closure of the incident. The third.
George II. Schwinn. had not been in
attendance at the university since
February I. DIR. Hodgkins said.
These three youths yesterday ap-
peared at the office of John =! Heap,
secretary Of the society, and, accord
ing to Mr. Heap, admitted that Blount
and CapleS operated on one cat and
Blount and Schwinn on a second an
inlal. The deed. Mr. Heap said, was
not part of their regular class as
signment and was performed in
Blount's room at a boarding house.
Warrants for Arrest in View.
I'VE haven't dropped the case" eX-
planned Mr.. Heap, "and warrants for
their arrest will be asked if we can
prove the mutilation was done while
the animals were alive. This case
has brought to light the frequent
stealing of pet cats by students OF
various universities for the purposes
of dissection, and We are working on
plans to put a stop to this. don't
think the universities countenance
such actions. Numerous complaints
about students stealing cats have
come to us, and the animals disap-
pearances have been traced to the
Institutions Sometimes the students
will give boys a quarter apiece for
cats. We are going to take this mat
TER up with the authorities and en-.
deavor to have this dissection super
vised properly"

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. March 12.-Millions of
dollars in royalties and the price Of
gasoline are involved in the Govern
ment's latest effort to cancel extensive
patents on the cracking" process in

day filed an equity suit in Brooklyn

the Texas Co. and associated COM
panies, from which a business esti-
mated at 100000, 900 has been built.

sion Of the patents constitutes a mo.
Eopoly. which materially increases the
cost Of gasoline throughout the United

CANADIAN REPORTS
PUSH WHEAT DOWN
Unofficial Talk Discrediting the
Government Crop Estimate In
fiuences Market.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, August 12.-Influenced
largely by unofficial reports from Can
ada discrediting the Canadian gov
eminent crop estimate, wheat values
showed an early downward trend to-
day. Advices were also at hand that
domestic receipts Southwest continue
heavy and that Kansas City arrivals
will increase throughout the remain
der Of the week.
Opening one-quarter to 1 cent low
err, wheat showed no lasting power to
rally.
Corn, oats and provisions were like
wise easy. corn starting at % off to
Il up. and subsequently declining all
around.
According to authoritative private
information current. the Canadian
wheat crop in the thre prairie prov
inces will run from 335. 200, 900 to $780,
10000 0bushels. against the latest
Canadian government estimate of
317 900 900 bushels. A forecast of
335 900 900 bushels today from a lead
ing Chicago expert attracted much at
tention.
Movement OF new Canadian wheat
promised to he earlier this season
than usual. Today's reports here in
dictate that the movement from
Western Canad should be liberal in
three weeks.
