Lodge Protests.

Two vigorous protests against the
summary dismissal of DR.. Carrie w.
Smith, superintendent of the National
Training School for Girls, we're made
yesterday by local organizations.
One of the protests was drafted by
the Washington Branch of the Amer
lean Association of University Women
and the other by the Lester F.. Ward
Sociological Society, George Washing
ton University.
The Association of University Wom-
EN- declared itself opposed to the lack
of personnel policy in regard to the
dismissal of employees" in the District
government. Reasonable notice of dis
missal should be given all employees,
the resolution stated. adding:
I'VE urge the Commissioners to
formulate such a personnel policy
without delay"
Copies were sent to the Commission
ers, the Board of Public Welfare and
the chairmen of the Senate and House
District Committees.
The resolution of the Sociological
Society, after pointing out that no
facts have been made public to justify
the dismissal of DR.. Smith. read:
Therefore, be it resolved that an
impartial investigation and public
hearing be held to determine the rea-
sons for the dismissal of DR.. Smith,
whether or not the dismissal was justi-
fed and to reveal whether or not DR..
Smiths liberal policy of rehabilitation
is to be replaced by the psychology of
force and punishment which prevailed
before DR.. Smith assumed her duties
at the institution.

HOMOCENIZED MILK IS NOW POPULAR
Cashin's Dairy Distributes Product of TOrringtOn
 Creamery, Inc.

Torrington Creamery, Inc, of Torrington, Conn, as far as is known was the first to homogenize milk in 8 commercial way in the United States. It was started Is years ago when three customer restaurants, dipping from 20-quart cans, were summoned into court for selling adultrated milk. That was really the beginning of homogenized milk, ac- cording to Arthur G. Weigold of the Torrington Creamery, Inc.
 Cashin's Dairy, of which Harry Cashin is the president, is the local distributor for Torrington Cream cry milk.
 The story behind the restaurant case is interesting and worth re- printing. mployes when asked to serve glass of milk to a Suctomer, who happened to be a state milk in- spector, would not stir the milk with the long dipper customarily used. As a result the milk twas partially skinned. Continual complaints led to homogenizing now universally practiced.
 Later the state law compelling sale of milk in bottles with the original cap on was passed. A sur- vey of restaurants using homogen- ized milg brought support for con- tinued use of it, the one or two exceptions who wanted pasteurized milk recurring in short time to homogenized.
 In households where there were babies salesmen for the company begain to run into stories where it was found that substitution of hom- ogenized milk for raw or (pasteur- ized had solved the diet problems immediately for the mother and the baby both. MT. Weig0ld reported a similar incident in his own home, a premature baby thriving on diluted homogenized milk after all others had failed to satisfy.
 Torrington Creamery, Inc, homo genized milk, which is 3.5 per cent butterfat, this proving more prac- tical than a richer milk. MT. Wei gold believes that only the surface has been scratched in the possibil- ities of homogenizeing. Its latest development came several years ago with vitamin D homogenized milk now popularly known and widely used.
