versity, would not be accorded

Professor Jones replied:
"YOu would not"
DR.. Marvin again addressed
the chair:

spirit or in one un-American
and autOcratic. arise now to

procedure as you indicate the

that it is my duty to demand

lines. will the chair permit me
to Speak?"
At this point DR.. Marvin yield
ed the floor to another represen
tative attending the meeting who
had arisen to address the chair
The representative directed q
hypothetical question to Prof
Jones as follows:
Suppose a prominent alum
nus of our university desired
to send to our university a
young man with appropriate
educational background, with
roundabout interest in things
intellectual and social and
who possesses, incidental to his
other qualities and abilities,
an athletic ability or promise,
would our university be per-
mitted to admit him?"
HE SPEAKS AGAIN
Prof. Jones said:
"NO. Such a case would have
to be referred to this commits
sion for its decision before you
could accept that student"
DR.. Marvin was on his fee
and Prof. Jones again recognized
the president of the Georg'
Washington University. Prefac
ing his remarks with a humorou!
story. DR.. Marvin spoke:
Interpretations of the COM
mission, as stated here today
by the chairman Of that COM
mission, constitute an assump-
ton of rights and powers which
reside solely in boards Of
trustees and faculties. The
commission states, under the in
terpretatiQns outlined by the
chairman, that it is unwilling
to set up exact standards to
guide member institutions, but
that all decisions must be left
to the judgment Of the commits
sion. In the matter of ac-
crediting Of work the commits
sion did set up exact standards
as guides to member inStitu-
tiOnS.
"Under today's interpreta-
tiOns, the commission states
that it is not directly amenable
to vote of the institutions rep
resented in the association.
This is direct encrOachment
upon rights and powers which.
traditionaITy and legally, must
be maintained by boards OF
trustees and faculties"

"Soberest" Xmas Since
Prohibition Started

Even those who violently oppos-
ed the sale Of liquor in Rockville
admit that this Christmas passed
with a minimum of drunks seen on
the streets. Indeed, there are those
who say that this was the soberest
Christmas seen in the county seat
since prohibition wiped out the old
days.
Police reported no trouble with

at $2854. Through the public spirit of
the late Mr.. Joe Bradley and Mr..
Frank Karn, the present frehouse
was erected in 1924-1925. The lot and
building cost $27,54O. The Montgom-

By Discharge Of Revolver
Saturday

An unfortunate preliminary to the
Christmas season occurred Saturday
when Loren Fletcher Schott, Jr., son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Fletcher
Schott, was shot and fatally wounded
by playmate while the two lads
were playing Indians" near the
Schott residence in Rockville.
According to testimony, the two
younths were playing with an old pis-
toll, which neither one thought loaded.
Robert Heustis, II, pointed the gun
playfully at himself and pulled the
trigger. Nothing happened. He then
pressed the gun against young Schott
and again pulled the trigger. This
time the gun spoke and young
Schott dropped to the ground, badly
wounded. He was rushed to the Mont
gomery County General Hospital but
died soon after arrival.
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon from the home. Burial was

ter of Mahlon Kirk, 4th, of Sandy
Spring who was injured in fall
from horse Friday afternoon,
still shows signs of improvement
although she is still unconscious,

Friday night, while she also was
given a blood TRANSMISSION from her
father.
The girl was riding Single Fly, a
race horse owned by her uncle,
Frances Kirk of Aspen, on the
Seventh Street pike near her
uncle's home when the mishap &C.
Cured.
The horse stumbled and the child
slid to its neck. Apparently believ-
ing the child, an accomplished
rider, had set herself for sprint,
the horse broke and started mad
dash down the road. The girl was
finally thrown and struck her head
on the surface of the roadway.
Her uncle, who saw the horse
break and set out in pursuit in his
automobile, carried her to the local
hospital.

Order Filed To
Keep AppOintees
From Office Here
John Oxley, Rockville Attorney
And Anti-Leader, Opposes
EdmOnds And Engle

An order requiring Miss Lavinia
Engle and DIR. George l.. Edmonds,
members of the Maryland House Of
Delegates, to show cause by January
8 why they should not be removed
from Office as Montgomery County
commissioners has been issued by
Judge Charles w. Woodward in the
Circuit Court at Rockville.
The jurist set January IL at 10 A.
M. as the date for the hearing on the
answers to the mandamus writ petit
tons filed late Thursday afternoon by
John E. Oxley, Rockville attorney
and prominent anti-organization Lead
er, against the two commissioners on
the grounds that their appointments
by Gov. Albert C. Richie were un-
constitutional.
Oxley filed the petitions appealing
for the issuance of writs forcing the
two commissioners to vacate their
posts within six hours after Miss
Engle, the first woman to occupy an
important political post in the county,
had taken the oath of office to sue
coed Lacy Shaw, who resigned to be-
come park commissioner for Mont
gomery.
1t was charged in the petitions that
both Dr. Edmonds and Miss Engle
served in the House of Delegates dur
ing the 1881 session when the salaries
of the Montgomery commissioners
were increased from $1,000 to $1,000
year.
Section m, article 3, Of the Con-
stitution of Maryland prohibits any
Senator of Delegate from serving in
any Office which shall have been Great
ed, or the salary or profits of which
shall have been increased, during their
term in the State Legislature, the pc
tition asserts.
Oxley declared in the petitions that
they were filed in his own behalf as
taxpayer of the county and Gin the
interest of having the affairs of the
county managed in an orderly and
lawful manner and the officers consti-
tutionally qualified to manage the
same.."
DR.. Edmonds and Miss Engle were
elected on November A, 1880, to serve
in the House of Delegates from Jan
uary 1, 1881, to January 1, 1885.
DR.. Edmonds was named a member
of the county board by Gov. Richie
on June 81, 1888, to fill a vacancy
created when w. Frank Ricketts, re-
signed as commissioner from the
fourth district to accept a position
with the State Roads Commission.
The Governor appointed Miss Engle
in Shaw's place as commissioner for
the fifth district Thursday and she
Immediately took the oath of Office
and assumed her new duties.
The terms of both the legislative
offices and the commissioners expire
next year.

Custer Action Is
Based Upon Sex,
Miss Engle Says
New Commissioner Declares She
Will Quit After Right To
Hold Office Is Proven

Miss Lavinia Engle, newly-appoint-
ed county Commissioner has answered
the suit to GUST her from the county
board by declaring that the whole
affair is directed at her sex.
Miss Engle said:
'The papers relating to Mr.. Oxley's
action against me were served this
morning. am advised by my counsel
that there is some question as to
whether this action has been properly
taken. Consequently l am leaving the
entire matter of young Mr.. Oxley's
interesting action to my attorney.
"The reason back of his action and
apart from his legal implication are,
of course, personal and political, and
directed against me as an individual,
and, / suspect, as woman officehold-
err.
s'The question that has been rased
to my eligibility to hold the office of
commissioner is one which, for my
own satisfaction, and in fairness to
the county, think should be settled
without delay and entirely apart from
young Mr.. Oxley's action. / expect to
go into the matter with my own at
torney and secure a ruling from the
proper authorities whether l am in
eligible, and when satisfied by the
proper authorities that such is the
case, shall resign Immediately.
until such time, l am the COM
missioner for this district, and will be
glad to see you here in my Office at
Silver Spring"
John Oxley, Rockville attorney who
was defeated for States attorney in
the last election, filed suit to GUST
Miss Engle less than six hours after
she had been sworn in last Thursday.
The suit alleges that Miss Engle and
DIR. George Edmonds are ineligible for
appointment as county commissioners
because they were members of the
House of Delegates which raised the
pay of county commissioners from
$1,000 to $1,000 a year.

THE NEW YEAR

Though there are many individual cases wherein
the New Year finds no material change In conditions,
it cannot be denied that the country as whole is
farther along toward a return to good times than 1t
was one year ago. There is less suffering this winter
there is greater for happiness among the labor
ing classes Altogether hope and the public morale
are at higher point than at any time since 1929
Insofar as this vicinity is concerned, the new year
is being welcomed with the general belief that at last
we are approaching the end of neverto-betorgotten
siege There is every to believe that the laws
passed last year, and the machinery set In motion
looking toward the bringing back OF prosperity VIII
be in full operation during 1884. There is likewise
the hope and belief that, while some plans must OF
course 90 awry, the genral frameup is solid In
short the average citizen enters the New Year con-
WINGED that "its going to work out"
is this spirit of Hope and Confidence restored
that will do more than anything else to return the
community to normal conditions Without 1t, we
would founder along and 1884 would see no more
accomplished than the ones that have gone before.
To all those who are striving to keep their Hope at
the peak their Faith mistaken and their Confidence
growing we extend a sincere wish for not only
Happy New Year but year which will bring them
back to the comforts and the contentment and the
peace of mind for which they pray

THEY ARE GOING BACK

The figures of the department of agriculture
show that there are million more people on the
farms of America today than for the period
in 1882 and two million more than were there in
1880.
1t was during the decade between 1920 and 1880
that the farms of this country became the more
greatly depopulated The rush to the populous CEN
tiers was almost frantic and involved fearful
drainage from the rural areas.
That the reversal has definitely developed adj
mits of no argument in the face of the statistics
of the Washington authorities, and herein lies a
greater degree of hopefulness for bringing about
that harmony and unity of relationship between
the producing and consuming elements of our
population.
The change has developed through no imaginary
gains which are to be made by returning to the
farms. Those going back quite well understand the
nature of the new experience to which they are
about to commit themselves. ..
Farming invites none who are seeking quick and
easy fortunes but it does hold out reckoning
hand to those who willing to make their own
living by digging it out of the ground, and the
opportunity to make living just bare living, is
today not lying around as conspicuously as It
used to be. ......
Understanding, therefore, the nature of the eco
nomic existence to which they will tie themselves
by returning to agricultural pursuits, these mil
lions will begin to adjust themselves to the depriva
tons not only which the more Or less unromantic
life in the countryside may offer then, but to the
opening which it gives them at least to produce fOr
themselves what is required for their creature
forts rather than threw themselves upon the back
OF the public for support.-Charlotte Observer.
