EOOD people of Boone County
- had fox drive the other day,
caught three and saw four escape.
Three thousand persons surrounded
a 10,O00-acre expanse and closed in
simultaneously. The foxes, it is I'M
derstood will become the property Of
hunt clubs, to be liberated for the
chase at the right time. The de-
niand Of various hunts in all parts
Of the country for foxes is SO keen
that I wonder somebody does not
go into the business of raising red
foxes for the red-coats. Perhaps
somebody has. Anyhow, fox-hunt-
ing reached its highest pitch in the
United States during the depression
and the arnica business doomed.
Some chronicler some day may ex-
plain that.
I'M the same day one reads about
- the foX-hunters, members of
clubs able to support horses for
pleasure, one also reads about a
family on work-relief whose house
burned down during the holidays,
Father, mother, six children, with ali
their furniture, bedding, everything
they had, destroyed. The contrasts
in the papers are what settle the
arguments as to whether social Sc
curity efforts by state and nation
should Or should not continue.
Z WAS glad to hear that Stanford
- had finally won a Rose Bowl
game. Not that I had anything
against Southern Methodist, But
Tiny Thornhill has had such ill
luck in the New Years Day game
and he is such fine fellow that it
seemed about time for him to come
out ahead. Thornhill played football
under Glenn Warner and succeeded
him at Stanford when Warner went
to Temple. He is one of the best
men in the coaching profession.
which is one that requires the best
in any man.
TINE American Association of
Z University Professors has lift
ed its ban from De Paw. This
means that the members of the as
ISOLATION may accept appointment
there without FORGETTING membership
in the association.
This is good thing for De Pauw,
but the university probably would
have continued to do good work in
any case. The association stands
for tenure of Office for university
and college teachers; for permanent
tenure after teacher has proved
his worth. opposed to its policy are
a number of university administra-
tons which claim the right to make
staff changes as indicated by year.
to-year needs and conditions.
In some universities it has been
charged that professors were dis
missed because their so-called
liberal teachings and speeches con-
flicted with the more conservative
views of trustees. This is why the
tenure question has been pressed.
De PAW, having a liberal president,
has less difficulty meeting the
standards of the association than
some others, against which accusa-
tions have been made.
TO-DAY just about rang down the
IL curtain on the winter holidays.
Look around and you will find near
ly everybody glad to get back into
the normal routine. Families will
be breathing signs of relief as they
see sons and daughters off to school
at the railroad station. Fathers and
mothers will welcome the reopening
of the public schools. People who
have been losing sleep and eating
too much party food will turn CRATE
fully to The simple life. Probably
the chief value of the holidays is
that they make people appreciate
the wholesomeness of the everyday
life with its alternating work and
rest.

= in The Times that she served
eggnog New Years eve. That adj
mission shows she is not holding
anything back in describing her
day-by-day life in the White House.
