WHY PICK ON US?

1t seems odd that man who has been raised on the pra1ies of Nebraska and who has travelled con tinental United States as has Senator Howell should have harped upon the climatic difficulties of operating the Alaska Railroad as he did in of his recent ports He up here last and as far we can learn knows nothing about winter operation of the ne yet believe he has apparently made portion of the Congress as well a great portion of the popula ton of these United States who do not know better feel that the Alaska Railroad is compelled to buck insurmounabe difficulties to operate at all in winter
 We're sorry he created that impression because 1t is gong make work lot harder to correct that impression
 He should look up some of the early records and the present day logs of the Great Northern the Northern Pacific the Union Pacific the Western Pac- fc the Southern Pacific and their battles with winter elements through the Great West, the Dakotas, Mon ies the Sierra Nevadas He could learn about railroads from them.
 We have seen blizzards in some of those States that would blow the hair off cast iron dog. We have been through some snow tunnels made by rotaries where We could see the top of the drifts thru the car windows We have cold in the States that once long freight stopped they could not start 1t again because of freezing axes We have never seen those things in Alaska and We have been here long time and propose staying longer.
 They have enough traffic out there now tO Keep the lines open but even here where we nave tram a week is no trouble to win through Wlth the ng fo taIy and the trains usually pull in on time
 Lay off us with that talk of and ice and great difficulties of operation" It isn't the truth Senator and 1t makes us so hot under the collar that we can melt way, sngle-handed through any drift on the right-of-Way.

CLOTHING IS SOUGHT
FOR NEEDY VETERANS
Ex.Soldiers' Organizations Join in
Planning Drive as Win
ter Nears.

A District-wide drive for. the col
lection Of discarded clothing for the
use of needy ex-service men and their
families was planned last night at a
meeting of representatives Of the Amer
lean Legion, Veterans Of Foreign Wars
and Disabled American Veterans at the
latter organizations headquarters. Both
the American Legion and the d. A. v.
have enlisted in the campaign and the
question Of joining this movement will
be put before the next meeting Of
the v. F. w.
George w. Phillips, welfare officer for
the D. A. w., explained that while both
organizations participating are men,
bers of the Community Chest, indica-
ticns are that unemployment condi-
tons will make it necessary to spend
all available money for food and fuel.
Mr.. Phillips pointed out that almost
every family in Washington has cloth
ing which, although still 1T for wear,
has either been outgrown by children
or discarded with the purchase of new
clothing.
The Legion and the D. A. ", Mr..
Phillips said. "have established an office
at room $50 in the Transportation
Building where clothing can be sent
II some one wishes to make contribu-
ton, he can telephone Metropolitan
2068 or Metropolitan 4210 and mes
senger will be sent for it. We prob
ably shall have veterans coming here
from all sections. and some Of them
will be sadly in need Of warm clothing"

COLLEGE ADANDONS|
CLASS COMPULS|ON /.
Students Who Fail to Attend
and Learn Left to Own
Penalty by C. U.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 26.-It is no
longer reading, 'riting and 'rithmatlc,
all at the end of hickory stick" at the
University of Chicago.
The three r's"-or their higher
equivalentS-remain in the curriculum.
But the figurative hickory stick-com-
pulsory class attendance and close fac
ulty supervision--has been abolished
The new plan in higher education, in
stituted by the university this year, was
explained yesterday to the IT'S fresh
men by the youthful university presi-
dent, DR.. Robert Maynard Hutchins.
A student Is mentally on his own"
He can make whatever progress his
application and ability will permit. He
can cut classes when he so desires
without fear Of receiving a slip from
the dean. He will not be called ION
the carpet" when he fails to make the
same progress in his course as other
students.
Can Take 1t or Leave 1t.
The classes, the teachers, the IL
braries and the many other resources
of the university will be there for his
use if he wants to use them. The
education will be there and the stu
dent can take it or leave it."
AZ the end of each course the in
structor will make one or two COM
ments on the students. Those who
have made satisfactory progress will
be so designated. OF others the in
structors will simply note: I'VE don't
know enough about him to comment"
Students who fall into the latter clas-
sification will be barred from inter-
collegiate competition. That will be
the only penalty. Other than that,
the student about whom the instructor
docs not care to comment" can go
right along doing as he likes scholas-
tically for at least two years.
At the end of the two-year period he
takes a comprehensive examination
embracing the subjects he has pur-
sued. If he passes he goes on into
the university. If he fails he will
probably be advised to quit.
Exceptional Students Lead.
In the meantime the exceptional stu
dent has gone on-probably long before
the. two-year period is up-paSSed his
comprehensive examinations and is in
the upper divisions of the university.
A genius might finish the first two
year course in three months. Then,
after taking two-year course In one
of the upper divisions, he would receive
his degree.
THE object has not been to speed up
educational processes for all students"
President Hutchins explained. 1T is
to adjust the educational processes and
the speed thereof to the needs and
equipment of each individual.
"The college (the first two years. Is
to be a place for an exploration OF the
realms of knowledge.
1T is to unsettle their minds, widen
their horizons and inf1ame their intel
lects. It exists to teach the student to
think-to think straight IL possible, but
to think always for themselves"

HOG CHOLERA IN STATE

Hog cholera was reported on fiji
teen premises in Maryland during
August, compared with more than
sixty-two outbreaks as an average
for that period during the last thir-
teen years. All were classed as pri-
mary or new outbreaks; ten were of
the backyard variety, and five oc-
CURED on farms where hogs are
bred and raised.
These outbreaks were well scat
tered throughout the State. Wor-
cester County had four; Frederick
three; Prince Georges two; Anne
Arundel, two; Kent, two; Carroll and
Montgomery, one each. In all one
hundred and twenty-nine hogs were
involved, thirty-five were sick and
twenty-one were dead before the
cases were reported. Approximate
ly thirty-one per cent, of the hogs
involved were in garbage feeding
establishments, but fifty per cent. of
the losses occurred there.
Ten of the outbreaks were appar-
emily due to feeding bones, rinds or
scraps of infected pork in table
refuse, and four were due to feeding
of unsterlized garbage. Several
counties have made remarkable
records in control of hog cholera for
the first eight months of this year.
No outbreaks have been reported
from Garrett, Somerset or Talbot,
and only one outbreak each in Allie
gany, Calvert, Caroline, Charles,
Queen Anne's, St. Mary's and Wi
comico. The other counties, while
showing greater numbers of out
breaks, are still materially below
the numbers reported in previous
years.

GAMER AND FARMER

DEOPLE demand a higher de-
l. gree of perfection in all things
today than they did few
years back-better houses, better
clothes, better food. Before the
era of modern canning a woman
who went into a store to buy a
pound of string beans, for ex-
ample, expected to take the bad
with the good and make the best
of it. Today she expects all the
beans to be uniformly good.
The perfection attained in re-
cent years by canned foods, and
the low prices at which they are
sold at all seasons, has no doubt
been instrumental in raising the
standard of all foods. Perhaps
you have wondered how such a
uniform perfection of canned
foods has been attained-why all
canned peaches are good peaches,
and all the peas in a can are
"alike as peas in the pod"
From the Ground Up
The answer goes back of the
canning factory itself to the fields
of the farmer who contracts in
advance to sell his crops to the
Gamer. For, with the exception
of fish, the food materials which
are canned-that is fruits, vege-
tables, milk, meat and syrup
are products of the farm. Each
year Gamers spend several hun
dred million dollars for fruits,
vegetables and milk. The reason
they contract for SO much of this
in advance is in order to get a
perfect product. Canned foods
never would have attained their
present popularity if Gamers had
depended for their raw materials
on market surplus or stock that
is otherwise unmarketable.

table is thereby appreciably short
ened. This combination of effort
by the farmer and Gamer is what
has brought about a consumption,
of canned foods commensurate
with their dietetic value, their
cleanliness, their wholesomeness,
and the dependability and whole
someness with which housewives
now associate them.
Here are some tested recipes
for housewives who are interested
in adding to their list of new
ways to serve these superior
foods:
Apple Sauce Loaf Cakes. Cream
one-third cup butter and one cup
sugar. Add one teaspoon soda to
one and one-fourth cups canned
apple sauce, and add to the but {
ter and sugar mixture. Add two
cups flour, one teaspoon baking
powder, few grains of salt, one
half teaspoon cloves, one-half tea
spoon allspice and one-fourth i
teaspoon nutmeg. Then add the
grated rind of one lemon. Add
one-half cup raisins and one-half
cup nuts Preserve little of the
-four to sift over them). Bake in
a loaf in a $50 degree oven for
from As to 60 minutes.
Epinach and Beet Mold: Cook
fresh, spring spinach until tender,
or use canned spinach. Drain,
season well with butter, salt and
pepper and pack while hot into a
buttered ring mold. Keep hot
while preparing beets. Heat
canned beets, chop, and season
well with butter, salt and pepper.
Turn spinach mold out onto a
platter and fill center with beets.
Chopped, hard-cooked eggs may be
sprinkled over the spinach ring"

NAVY, OLD LINERS
TO RESUME DUELS
IN GRID CONTEST
Game on October 10 Promises
to Match Thriller Of
Last Season
Hot Battles Characteristic OF
MILDLY Maryland Meetings

COLLEGE, PARK, MD.-Although
the Naval Academy and University Of
Maryland football teams both will see
action before their big game in Crit
fifth Stadium in Washington on Oc-
toher 10, it is this contest that they
have mainly in mind at present and
for which they are training their guns.
Last Fall the Midshipmen and Old
Liners provided one of the classic
struggles of the season in this section
OF the country before all the people
that could be packed into Farragut
Field at Annapolis. This years game
promises to be replica Of that Cruel
ling battle and doubtless will attract
all the grid fans that Griffith Stadium
can hold.
Navy won last seasons heated and
stirring game, 6 to 0, ON touchdown
scored by Louis kim, fleet halfback,
who dashed almost the length of the
field in the first few minutes of the
contest. Maryland had it's chances to
turn the tide later in the fray, knock
ing at the touchdown door no less
than four times.
In fact, the game between Navy and
Maryland will be a continuation Of
series of hard battles that have taken
place in the last several seasons, al
though, it will be- only the second grid
meeting under modern conditions.
During the 1930-31 term of school of
the two institutions, Navy in addition
to the football game, won a basket
ball duel and track meet from Mary
land, while the Old Liners retaliated
In a great measure by scoring in base
drew the largest crowd to see q
contest in that pastime during the
1899 season. The basket ball tilt also
packed Dalghren Hall at Annapolis.
Both the Navy and Maryland elevens
should be on par, If not better, than
the ones that battled so closely last
Fall and the contest has taken the top
place among all those to be staged in
1881 in the South Atlantic Area
Applications for tickets are being
received both at the Naval Academy
and Maryland athletic Offices SO that
the alumni and regular followers Of
the two schools may have chance to
get choice seats. However, all tickets
not applied for within the next few
days will be placed on public sale.

RIVER MEADOWS FARM
HTVS SHHVN

The River Meadows Farm near
Edgewood, Hartford County, Mary
land, has recently made an attractive
sale of the Bull Calf dropped at
Timonium Fair in 1880 by their
Ayrshire cow, which won the First
Prize and Grand Champion Cow at
that Fair. The Bull was sold to Mr..
Robert Rounds of Salisbury, Mary
land. Mr.. Rounds had been to the
Timonium Fair and stopped at River
Meadows Farm at milking time.
He was particularly anxious to see
this calf and was so well pleased
with him and his fine record that he
purchased him at an attractive figure.
This bull carries the blood lines of
Finlayston, Audacious, Lord Keys
tone and Rena Ross, Lord Keystone
being one of the finest bulls of the
breed. Rena Ross family of cows
hold the world record for greatest
milk production. The bull also is
descended from Old Garclaugh
Spottie, she holding the worlds
record for milk production for cow
over ten years old, 225S9 lbs. milk,
816.25 lbs. fat.
The owners of the River Medows
Farm are to be congratulated for
supplying such fine stock to head the
herds of breeders in the state.
