PAGE FOUR JOBLESS PROFESSORS TO INSTRUCT NEEDY Offer College Course to the Youths Out of Work. Port Royal, Va,—Twenty-five stu dents and six professors gathered In a high-celled room under the slated sloping roof of an old building here have brought Into existence I>r. A. O. Hill’s depression days college for finan cially harassed young men. The purpose of Port Royal college, Doctor Hill explulned, Is to bring to gether college teachers who are with out appointments because of the de pression and students who, owing to financial stringency, are unable to con tinue in existing Institutions. Instruction will be available In the classics, modern langimges, English literature, art, philosophy, history, government, economics and sociology. No degrees will be given, but Doc tor Hill believes that when the per sonnel of his faculty becomes known and the methods of the college ex plained, other Institutions will accept Its credits. He plans to have one full-time professor to every six stu dents. No time will be devoted to athletics and no money spent In this direction. There will, In fact, be no athlettcs other than such as the students impro vise for themselves. Cost About $260 a Year. The total cost to each student will be $250 annually, which will cover tuition, board, lodging and laundry. Students will not be permitted to work for wages when riot engaged In cluss room or study, which uppears to he an unnecessary rule, If the appearance of Port Iloyal Is any Indication of the opportunity to work, but they must care for their own rooms and take turns In waiting on tnblea and wash Ing dishes. Professors in the college, Doctor Hill went on to explain, will get noth ing In return for their services except their hoard, which the $250 paid by each student will care for. Class rooms and dormitories will be In old houses and halls In Port Royal, long out of use, which have been leased by their owners at fees that are said to be below the deadline of moderation. Just how Doctor Hill was led to se lect Port Royal has not been revealed, but “the eternal fitness of things" may have been a factor. The depression hit the town long before the depres sion college was thought of. Ones Important Port. Nestling close to the turbid waters of the Rappahannock In a setting of ancient, spreading trees. Port Royal still retains something of the grace and elegance, and all of the lelsnrely atmosphere of early Colonial days, when it was a place of Importance and a busy port. Just across the Rappahannock and within sight Is a crumbling pile, over growu with rambling vines, all that Is left of the house In which President James Monroe was born, and hut a little way farther Is the site of Wash ington’s birthplace. According to tradition, Port Royal was once thought of as the permanent site of the capital of the United Slates and came within two votes of being selected. But as the years went by things hap pened to Port Royal. Railroads took away Its river trade and presently a modern highway, cut through a mile to the west, left it In virtual Isolation. The president of the new Institution (Doctor Hill calls It Port Royal col lege, but the natives speak of It as Depression or Hard Times college) Is a graduate of Dartmouth and for merly wns Instructor of economics at Springfield college. He Is a staff member of the Brookings Institute. Fashion News Lists Red at Top of Winter Colors When fashion news from Paris lists red at the top of fashionable new col ors, It means not only the old familiar reds we are accustomed to, but dozens of other new hues as well. There Is a whole new family of colors with red as a basis—reds mixed with browns, with blue, with yellows. French styl ists, who have been working for months on winter color schemes, have managed to find enough reds to suit any type of woman. One of the most popular reds right now Is one which verges on rust. It is called brick, and though somewhat similar to the rust of last season and the henna of seesons before, It has a certain grayed quality that makes tt more wearable than either of these two. Velvet on Wool Velvet on wool Is a favorite method of trimming this season. A-velvet yoke and collar appears on a wool or silk dress, or even velvet puffs to the sleeves. A smart model of green wool has brown velvet yoke and bow. Studded Belte French women who are following the edicts of Chanel, famous designer, are wearing leather belts studded with Jewels. They were originally launched to wear with lace evening gowns. I meet Pest The boll weevil is an insect which lays Us eggs In the bud of the cotton plant.

A Boat, and an Island"—the story of a real family’s real trip to Bermuda.

Offer him “The Party” or "The Cruise of Mr. topher Columbus by Sadybeth an ‘* Anson Lowltz, two humorous and very Interesting picture books that acquaint younger readers with stirring Perhaps Bill wants to know more about motortnen and firemen and what the, really do. Mrs. Kuh’s books for small children will help him out there. Perhaps he would like “How It All Began.” a book that i, delightfully written and Illustrated by Janet Smal ley. It will tell Bill how primitive man watched the lightning and found he, too, could make fire by twirling two sticks around together. Later man found other ways of heating and lighting and at last we got our matches, gas, oil and electricity. The book goes on.

Wil liam Siegel, a Russian artist, tells a simple story about that In "Around the World In a Mailbag.” Bob nud Betty's letter to their father doesn't reach him In San Francisco. So It It forwarded to China, Russia, France, and even to Egypt. But though the various postmen do tbelr best the let ter does not finally reach him until he Is back In New Tork again.

See Battle Before The Fire YOUR BANK AND MINE Using Your Bank 2. By Gordon Lewis We men lu business can make many uses of our bank. Properly justifying the credit, we can get money to use in our business. When there Is a break in the raw mate rial market, a bank loan can mean tremendous profits to us. If our business Is seasonal, a bank loan can bridge the gap for us. There are a hundred other conditiona where the difference between a big success and a mediocre one may be determined by our credit relation with our bank. Again, we can use the credit information of our bank to great advantage. Your bank not only keeps posted on the financial con dition of the people In the com munity, but it also haa connections with other banks throughout the country whereby it can get infor mation which may mean the dif ference between profit and loss many accounts. •» Likewise, a frank talk with your banker occasionally about your own business may be very valuable. The banker sits and literally watches business pass In review before him. Your problem et to Relieved By Taking Cardui “I was weak and run-down and tuftered quite a bit with pains in my side,” writes Mrs. Nick Bar ranco, of Beaumont, Texas. “I was nervous. I did not rest well at night, and my appetite was poor. “My mother had used Cardui with beneficial result, so I decided to take It. I surely am glad I did, for it stopped the pain in my side and built up my general health. I took seven bottles in all.” Cardui is sold at all drug stores 91% of All Human Ills Originate In Stomach Failure to Supply Body With Essential Minerals Allows Excessive Acids to Destroy Health and Vitality. Medical science, constantly searching for ways to prolong life, frequently come forward with startling statements of their findings, but no more astound ing announcement has been made in re cent years than the statement of aa eminent Chemist who now declares that “There is no natural death. All deaths from so-called natural causes are merely the end point of progressive acid satu ration.” TIMELY WARNING An amazing statement indeed but a warning, that if heeded, should improve the health and well being, increase the jo.v of living, and prolong the livee of millions of men, women and children who might otherwise dreg through a weary life to an untimely raid.

The cumulative experience of the banker through the years is an asset which many men overlook in their dealings with their bank. Moreover, the closer you are to your banker through personal acquaintance, the more he knowe about you and your business prog ress, the greater his knowledge of you, your alms and objectives, the stronger Is your own position should you ever need the bank’s assistance. It has been my own. personal observation that many! men wait to establish that personal' relationship until they are in Im mediate need of bank oo-operation/ and then they are resentful of the fact that the banker must judge, them purely on cold financial fig ures alone. But, after all, in deal-| ing with a man whom he does there! noti know, what other basis could be for his decision? The use of your bank to Its full- 1 eet possibility is something which] I cannot stress too strongly.
