7 Unless Georgetown and West Vir-
~ GINA make final arrangements that
will bring them together for the
November IA foot ball tilt. the Blue
and Gray is going 10 have a hard
time finding a suitable school to fill
that date. No doubt Graduate Man
sger Murphy has been depending on
West Virginia to fill the present open
spot, and it was understood from both
Georgetown and West Virginia author
tiles that the date had just about been
agreed on and the game would be
played.
Incidentally, the game was announced
in the Georgetown schedule at O'Clock
last Saturday evening, ana later was
taken out. It is not known whether
or not West Virginia has scheduled
another game for that date, and
Georgetown has said nothing about any
other game TO which 1t is giving con-
sideration.
It may be that Georgetown, following
suit Of some Of the Western Confer
ence schools and Cornell, may leave
the date permanently open. Many
schools seem now to perfer not to play
between exceptionally hard games on
its schedule, holding the opinion that
no game at all is better than a game
in which very little opposition would
be met
A STATEMENT from Washington and
"A Lee that its foot ball receipts for
1880 fell 40 per cent below 1929
indicates about the worst reaction
known to have been suffered financially
in college athletics. That means that
the Generals income for the year is cut
nearly In half, because the income from
other sports is more or less negligible.
Any school less fortunately situated
than Washington and Lee In its finances
would find itself in great difficulties.
However, Dick Smith, graduate man
ager of athletics, is too able man in
his Job to run from one year to another
without some reserve or without bank
ing arrangements that should enable
him to tide over any kind Of q tempo
Tary depression.

FORD BUYS OLD GRINDER
Grist MIL Equipment Had Been in
Operation in Sussex 130 Years

The interior equipment, consist
ing principally of grain grinding
apparatus at least 130 years old,
of an old grist mill, located about
five miles southwest of Rehoboth
Beach, Just east of Angola, on the
Love Branch Creek, has been pur-
chased by agents of Henry Ford
and is now being shipped to De
troit for erection and operation, it
was said last week, in the Dear
born, Mich, automobile museum of
the motor manufacturer. The mill,
known as Burton's Mill had been
in operation continuously for more
than 130 years until three years
ago. While no name is given as
to the purchaser in the bill of lad
ing, it is reported that the mill
equipment has been purchased for
prominent resident of Detroit,
who intends to set it up in Dear
born and operate it. The mill
equipment was bought "blind" by
an agent, but as it is of no practi-
cal value, and is useful only as an
interesting museum piece, it would
not be shipped to Detroit for other
purposes than for installation in a
museum, it was pointed out. The
mill equipment has now been dis
mantled and is in the process of
being shipped in cases by railroad
from Sussex county to Detroit.
According to reports the practical
value of the mill equipment was
small and the owners sold the
equipment, which had been lying
idle for about three years, for a
few hundred dollars. Many resi-
dents of the State, particularly
those interested in objects of his
torical value are said to be highly
indignant at the removal of one of
DeIaware's historical articles from
the State. The mill equipment, ac-
cording to authoritative informa-
ton, makes a wonderful museum
piece, but there is no museum in
! Delaware, 1t is pointed out, OF ade-
quate size to accommodate it. The
outside Of the building in which
the equipment was housed is part
ly built Of logs, covered with drop
sidings. The mill has been in the
hands of the Burton family, well
known in Sussex, for 100 years.
The equipment of the mill had al
ways been driven by water power
and was never rnodernized. The
grinding equipment consists Of
two separate machines, one for
grinding grain coarsely and one
for grinding it finely. It was con
structed before the more modern
equipment, permitting adjustment
Of the grinding surfaces for differ
ent degrees of fineness and coarse
ness was invented

Equipment Built About 1900

According to experts who have
examined the equipment, it was
constructed between 1890 and
1900 The present building which
housed the equipment is Of little
historical note. for, according to
experts, the milling equipment has
outlasted three different buildings.
The remains of the former build
ings. the first of which was a log
building, may still be seen.

MARRIED TEACHERS
 TO PROTEST RIGHTS

CHICAGO, H., July-The Ameri- can Federation of Teachers intends to keep the school teaching profess sion open to married women.
 It is conducting a nationwide sur Yey te ascertain the scope of move meats to bar married women from public school teaching lebs, and t9 weigh reactions of teachers and elti- zens to the move.
 The federation, says Mrs. Flor ence Curtis Hanson It's secretary, Is opposed to what it terms this un- fair discrimination" It holds that teaching qualifications should be based entirely on character and ability, net social status.
 Employing married M9msn as substitute" teachers and then haF= ing them work the full school year at the substitutes wage Is another thing the federation would wipe out.
 It is Mrs. Hanson's opinion that the reduction of salary costs through this means has been the principal m9tiye for the recent revival 9f the movement te gut married women from the active teaching lists:

ASSESSMENT WORK TO BE DONE IN COPPER MINE
 WESTWARD DISTRICT

Captain L M. Hofstad and sons, Arthur and Harold, of Petersburg, on the motorship Lark, were recent Seldovia visitors, enroute to the Westward Balboa Bay district. They own copper and zine mining prop critics on the mainland about Bal boa Bay, and they have gone there for the purpose of doing assessment work.
 Captain Hofstad worked the mine 25 years ago. according to the Seldovia Herald. At that time he could have done we'll with the copper, but there was no market for the zinc. In fact penalties were levied because of the zinc content Later, markets developed for the zinc, but now that there is an opportunity to work the mines. the copper price has dropped from sight.
 The miners are not discouraged by the present bleak outlook and have mapped out preliminary de- velopment program calculated to have things in readiness for better market conditions.

VETERAN LOAN FIGURES
 EXPLAINED BY BUREAU

Veterans Bureau officials estimate the veteran who borrows $500 on the S1,000 average certificate would have $74.o3 left in 1945 if he failed to pay interest.
 But if the interest payments were met yearly, borrowers would receive the face value. less the actual amount of the loan, when eertifi- cates mature fourteen years hence.
 Here's what happens: Loan, $500, interest, four and one half per cent, compounded annually, totals $425.97. Balance, S74.03.
 Flew it works Interest on $500 for the first year, s22.5O. This $22.5O is added to the $500 and the $5225O draws interest the second year The second years interest would be added to the $522.50 and the total start drawing interest and so on until the loan is settled.
