RIED GIRL WITH MAN In
RAID ON HOME OF NEGRO
WOMAN
This is one of those pathetic
stories of a broken home, police
court suspended sentences and
that sort of thing.
Arnold Lee Britt, married
and father of children, is under
suspended sentence for three
years and paid $50 and costs
and Minnie Lee Mcdonald, pret-
ty, young and married, is under
a suspended sentence and she
paid $25 and costs.
They were arrested as they
occupied a room in the home of
Jaunita Owens Brown, Negro
woman, who faces charges of
operating a disorderly home and
selling whiskey.
She told police that Britt and
the young woman came to her
home and engaged the room.
She admitted that she sold them
whiskey.
: The cops had a tip, tip so
direct that they knew it was a
correct one, and they raided the
home where the white truck
driver and the young wife were
found and arrested.
Mrs. McDonald's husband, ac-
cording to the police, was at the
station when the patrol car
brought them to headquarters
and he Immediately posted bond
and took his young wife home

and, at the same time, it hastens
the day when he will he able to
leave in good physical condition.
It hastens this day in that it di-
verts his mind from his disease,
arouses his interest and gives
him confidence in himself. Such
patients, according to doctors,
are more easily cured than those
who are depressed and suffer
the delusion that their useful
ness is ended"
''The philosophy of rehabilita-
tion," Mr.. Moore continued,
means service to the individual
on any level and includes the in
dividual's adjustment to his own
helath problem, to his family and
friends, to education, to work,
to leisure and to society as a
whole. 1t means service on a
case work basis which takes
into account recognized counsel
ing techniques, and which aims
to develop in the individual an
ability to meet his problems ade-
quately for himself and for the
community in which he lives"
"The purpose of rehabilita-
ton is to assist individuals who
have or have had pulmonary tu-
berculosis in working out prob
lens which arise or have arisen
as result of their illness"
"The mental benefits patients
may obtain from participation
in this plan are many. Invari-
ably, the patients morale is boil

Woman Dies I'm Doctors Office
Discharged Prof.
Accuses President
Of The College
Of Negligence

In three-hour session We'd
nesday afternoon, more than 20
charges against DR.. F. D. Blu
ford, president of A. and T.
College, were heard by the ex-
ecutive committee of the board
Of trustees.
They were brought by A. G.
Bowling, engineering professor,
who after II years with the COL
lege this year was not ''re-elect-
ed" to the faculty because Of
alleged lack of cooperation with
the college administration.
Action on the charges was
postponed until this afternoon
at 2 o'clock when in a closed
session the executive committee
will meet again to consider their
validity. Yesterdays meeting
was open.
Seeks Qualification
Bowling is making no attempt
to- get back on the college fac
ulty, he told the committee. He
said he was interested mainly
in clarifying the reasons for his
dismissal.
Charles A. Hines, board chair
man and presiding official at
yesterdays session, in sweep
ing analysis reduced the charges
specifically to four. Included
were:
1 DR.. Bluford allegedly
used college materials in his
home.
i2-He had been consistently
dishonest and unethical with
students, teachers, general funds
and college property.
3-That he favored the arts
departments of the college over
the engineering.
4.-Ineligible football players
were allowed to participate in
games.
But during Bowling's presen-
tation of his evidence" Pierce
C. Rucker, member of the board,
in his Interpretation reduced all
the charges to the fact that
Bowling "seems to think Blu
ford is inefficient" and "that
the two men disagreed general
ly about the way the engineer
ing department should be rum"
Denies All Charges
DR.. Bluford, in a brief pres
entafion Of testimony before
Wednesdays session closed, de-
MED all the charges, and Shelley
b. Caveness, member of the
board, told Bowling;
$50 far as we can see, you
have failed to indicate any rea-
son for your charges Of dishon-
esty.. What I think you are try
ing to imply is that in your
opinion the college administra-
ton has been inefficient.
Shortly after that, Rucker told

Norway Hunters War
On Wolverines

OSLO-Wolverines, which killed
over $4,000 worth of stock in the
north Budbrandsdalen section
alone last year, are now being
hunted in Norway as never before.
During the year ending in June,
1916, Norwegian wolverine hunt
ers did well by themselves-kill-
ing 80 of the savage animals and
collecting bounties totalling well
over 100000 Kr. ($56,OOO). At that
time the bounty was set at the
equivalent of 500 per head. One
enterprising hunter in the Finn
mark district shot six of them in
a single day and went home that
night a comparatively rich man.
Despite the high bounty on
wolverines in Norway ever since
1916, mere 4147 of the animals
had been shot by the time the
bounty was discontinued in 1882.
BY 1912, however, sheep, goat, and
reindeer losses were so heavy that
a bounty was again offered. This
was raised in 1914 to the all-time
high of $500 Kr. ($7OO).
Some doubt has been raised as
to whether Norwegian hunters
not necessarily exact as to inter-
national boundaries-might have
been shooting their prey in Swe-
den, or Finland (neither of which
pay bounties) in those sections
where the three countries join.
