easy. In the first place here are
two divisions that end without a
remainder. As the divisor and
the quotient in the smaller prob
lem r the same, the dividend
is obviously the square of these
two. Using the same number as
the divisor in the larger problem
which is solved without a re-
mainder, the full dividend is OBJ
viously the cube of the original
number. AS both dividends end
in the same letter as the divisor,
it should not be difficult to find
the divisor, and from that get the
other figures.

One-fourth Of a hare.
Cne-third of a ham.

SEX QUESTIONABLE.
TO Be INVESTIGATED.
Association of Professors to
Sift Missouri University
Controversy.

The celebrated sex QUESTIONABLE con-
troversy at the University of Missouri,
which has resulted in the discharge of
one psychology professor and the sus-
pension of another for one year, will
be investigated by the American As
ISOLATION of University Professors with
headquarters here.
A committee of the association prob
ably will go to the university early next
month for this purpose, 1t was an
nounced today by Prof. H. w. Tyler.
secretary of the association. Requests
for such an investigation have been
received from President Stratton D.
Brooks of the university, several men,
bers of the faculty and students in the
class of Prof. j. r. De Graf, where the
QUESTIONABLE was circulated.
Questions to Be Considered.
The committee will consider both the
question of academic freedom on one
hand and that of the ethics involved
in the proper use of questionnairees. 1t
will seek particularly to determine
whether the disciplinary action against
the two professors was taken because
the QUESTIONABLE actually was demoral-
izing or whether it resulted mainly
from outside criticism.
The disputed QUESTIONABLE was cir
culated in the research work of course
devoted to family relations, allegedly
in an effort to clear up some points on
which there is no exact information but
a great deal of popular tradition.
Regarded Extremely Personal.
Some of the questions, it is reported,
we're extremely personal and were re-
sented by some of the students. The
university action followed an airing in
the State Legislature.
The attention of the university world
has been drawn to the matter par
ticularly because of the position of the
head of the department of psychology
who was made responsible for the
QUESTIONABLE because 1t was circulated
from his department, although he
actually had nothing to do with it.

LYON PARK PUSHES
DOGWOODPROGRAM
Intensive Plan for Growing
New Trees Is Sponsored
by Garden Club.

An unusual program of Towering dog
wood tree development is. under way in
Lyon Park, Va.
Not only is this community, under
leadership of the Garden Club, Of Lyon
Park, interested in the preservation Of
dogwood, but it has gone intensively
into plan for growing new dogwood
trees
Arthur Orr, chairman of the dog
wood committee of the Garden Club, is
the moving spirit behind the campaign
and has personally taken it upon him.
self to carry forward the program,
which so far has met with enthusiastic
response.
On the grounds of his home at ASS
South Spruce street. Mr.. Orr has 500
dogwood trees of varying ages.
Phase of Conservation, He Says.
1--WE are covering a phase of con-
servation which we think is unusual"
declared Mr.. Orr today. 1T has for its
aims not only the Identification of our
home sites in Lyon Park. Va, but the
replacement of old trees of dogwood
which are naturally destroyed in the
course of building development"
At his home today Mr.. Orr displayed
a number of small trees which he has
been nurturing since he took them
from the woods as tiny seedlings last
year. to raise into larger trees. These
small trees have been transplanted to
a large box of loose soil and are ready
now for transplanting to the nursery.
The Garden Club, through Mr.. Orr's
efforts, now has ready for distribution
among the home sites Of Lyon Park, to
members of the Garden Club. about 100
larger trees.
Agreement Outlined.
AS a part of the program of develop
ment, each person who receives one OF
these advanced trees for planting on
his home grounds, agrees to receive,
and to care for Is or SO much smaller
trees, which will need special care be-
fore they are. old enough to be planted
out in the scheme of landscaping
among the home sites.
In this way a large number of
smaller trees will be developed through
their tender age to a more hardy con-
dition where they will be ready to plant
out in the lawns
Mr.. Orr is also raising some dogwood
trees from seed, although he reports
that special treatment had to be given
the seed by planting in sand, with
alternate freezing and thawing, in order
to get them to terminate.
Last Fall members of the Garden
Club gathered about 5000 dogwood ber-
ries, Mr.. Orr said, and these were
planted in sand In stratified layers.
Many of them have come up this Spring,
he reports, and more are expected to
terminate next Spring after the freez-
ing and thawing has cracked the hard
shell around the seed.
Mr.. Orr Urges Development.
Mr.. Orr is an enthusiastic conserva-
ZIONIST, but he Is even more eager to
promote the constructive program of
adding new dogwood trees to his COM
munity He expects to see the time, not
far distant, when every lawn in Lyon
Park, Va, will have one or more dog
wood trees, making beautiful display
not only for each place but for the en-
tire community Mr. Orr Is assistant
clerk of the House committee on appro-
priations and his interest In dogwood is
becoming widely known through his
extensive acquaintance both at the
Capitol and in his home community.
