OPEN REVOLT IN DEPAUW RANKS ISJIEVEALED Faculty Members Refuse to Back Dr. Oxnam, Times Is Told. Open rebellion of the De Pauw university faculty has flared for the first time since the incumbency of Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam. president, The Times was informed today. Gradually crushed by almost dictator-like policies of the president, the faculty recently arose and refused to grant Dr. Oxnam’s request for a petition supporting him against the investigation report of the American Association of University Professors. The report of the investigation is due to be published the last of this month, it was learned. The probe of the association, a powerful organization of professors, was instigated in behalf of Dr. Ralph Hufferd, former chemistry professor. Dr. Huflerd was dismissed abruptly last June on vague charges by the administration. Dr. Hufferd, who holds several high academic ranks and is well known as author of technical articles, appealed his case to the association. It was charged by Dr. Huflerd that his summary dismissal was motivated by his interest in the R. O. T. C. unit at De Pauw. Following a long wrangle with the United States army, Dr. Oxnam withdrew the unit this winter. Dr. Hufferd also alleges that the university owes him some back salary. Moving quietly and efficiently, special investigators chosen by the association interviewed a majority of De Pauw professors. According to professors, who have talked with the investigators, the report will be so sensational that Dr. Oxnam is taking every measure he can to un-der-emphasize it. Several professors have told The Times that at the called meeting of professors, Dr. Oxnam spoke of a possible reduction in faculty for the coming year and in the next breath asked for a petition supporting him.

ANTARCTIC RULER

Head of the first “government” to be formed at the bottom of the world is Dr. Thomas C. T. Poulter (above), scientist whom Admiral Byrd has chosen to rule “the republic of Little America” during the Byrd expedition stay in the Antarctic.

A popular professor arose and said, “The legislative powers of the facility were abolished two years ago. Thus no motion is in order.” Some professors, in fear of losing their positions, have sided with the Oxnam faction, it was learned. However, the majority remains openly resentful of pay cuts and dictatorship by Dr. Oxnam. Possibility of a student strike was suggested bv one professor, who said that the students had been growing more restless by close association with the bitter administrationfaculty strife. Alumni sentiment previously has entered into the conflict only in so far as the R. O. T. C. dispute is concerned. Now the alumni are feeling a growing concern with the tense situation on the campus and plan to bring the matter to a head at the first alumni meeting. The strong antagonism of the American Legion against Dr. Oxnam has hurt the school in certain sections, they fear. Some alumni are indignant at the treatment several popular professors have received at the hands of Dr. Oxnam. A professor of literature, who long had been a campus idol, has been shuffled into a minor departmental position, they claim. Meanwhile, students, professors, alumni and the administration anxiously await publication of the American Association of College Professors’ bulletin.

CITY INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE WEEK

LIBERAL SPRAY OF WATER ON LAWNSURGED Light Sprinkling Declared Inadvisable; Use of Lime Opposed. Thousands of tons of water will be sprinkled on city lawns this summer to keep away drying heat, according to records of past years kept by the Indianapolis Water Company. An area of 2,500 square feet may be covered in ten hours by a garden hose with the equivalent of a one-inch rainfall or twelve tons of water. The cost is only 72 cents. If this is done four times during a month the sprinkling charge should ba about $3. A bulletin published by the Purdue university agricultural experiment station asserts: “The sprinkler should be used as soon as dry weather begins. Once or twice a week is generally often enough. The soil should be wet thoroughly to a depth of several inches. Sprinkle early in the morning or late in the evening. A light sprinkling,, wetting the surface of the soil lightly, is poor policy.” Spraying Advised Further directions offered by the company are: “It is best to imitate natural rainfall by using a spray. Avoid applying a stream of water under pressure direct to the fertilized portion of the lawn. If ycu have no spray, let the stream of water from the hose shoot upward and fall back on the lawn as gently as possible. “Terraces and sloping places in the lawn should be diked to retard the run-off of the water. So-called wire grass is encouraged by too frequent light sprinklings. Bluegrass and clover require heavy scakings.” Rock Gardens on View In the lobby of the Monument Circle office of the company is an attractive display of rock gardens. Persons are invited to inspect these with a view to getting hints for their own landscaping. The company has complete information on underground irrigation for sprinkling to take the place of a single hose line, bubbling lawn fountains, and other new ideas in gardening and sprinkling. Tile company emphasizes the fact that persons should not use lime on lawns in central Indiana. They advise mixtures of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. The company suggests that reliable dealers be consulted on proper lawn care. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD WILL SPEND $1,000,000 Six Metal Products Companies Share Orders. By Times Special, PHILADELPHIA, April 14.—Announcement is made by the Pennsylvania railroad that orders for specialties used in freight car construction aggregating more than $1,000,000 have been placed with six metal products companies. The orders are for metal ends, side doors, pow'er hand brakes and cast steel car under-frames, all of which will be used in the railroad’s extensive freight car construction project, a part of its general employment and improvement program financed by the public works administration. The new freight cars are being built in the railroad’s shops at Pitcairn, near Pittsburgh, Altoona and Enola, near Harrisburg, and hundreds of railroad men are returning to regular employment in this work. The manufacture of materials for the cars is creating much additional employment in steel plants and other industries throughout the east and middle west. Care in Varnishing When tackling a painting or varnishing job, it is advisable to consult a master painter, who is qualified to know the exact type of application for a specific job. For example, an interior varnish should not be used in places where direct sun, rain and excessive moistures or extremes of heat and cold reach it. Paint manufacturers turn out the right kind of material for this type of work.

Insurance Gain Hailed as Prosperity’s Herald

Indianapolis Life Reports Sales Increase of 47 Per Cent. The nation’s steady climb out of the depression has been marked by encouraging reports from business. New paid business of the Indianapolis Life Insurance Company for the first quarter of 1934 exceeded that of the first quarter of 1933 by 46 per cent, according to tabulations just released by the company. “This increase was not due to any one particular section, but to the results throughout the various states in which the company operates,” according to Edward B. Raub, company president. Particularly encouraging are these reports from life insurance companies, economists point out. The first sign of steady progress toward a more universal finanacial stability is indicated in renewed sales of insurance policies, they claim. The first buying flurry is felt in department stores as persons look to immediate needs. Following that, the public begins to buy things to insure a lifetime security. Mr. Raub feels that now, after the economic catastrophe persons are all the more anxious to buy insurance so that future possibilities of financial disaster may be averted. Survey by the company of the classification of persons who purchased life insurance during March revealed that executives, managers and superintendents, professional men and salesmen are buying more insurance than they did during the previous months. Another interesting fact developed from this study is the large number of children’s policies that are being purchased from the company. Educational endowments, thrift plans and combination savings and protection plans for children are increasing in popularity. Cover Knots in Wood One way to guard against knots and sappy places in wood when painting is to coat these with orange shellac before applying the paint. This prevents the rosin or pitch from discoloring the paint.

FOREIGN VILLAGES 10 FORM FAIR FEATURE Belgian, English and German Among Types Included. By Times Special CHCAGO, April 14.—A visit to the World’s Fair this year will be similar to a trip around the world, according to the March issue of the Illinois Central magazine. This will be true, the magazine states, because of the number of representative villages from various parts of the world which will be reproduced at the fair. The Belgian village, which was so popular in 1933, will be continued. There will be added to it a “picturesque Switzerland,” old English village, Black Forest (German) village, old Spanish village, the Land of the Bedouins, Russian village and early American village. Stippling Effective The application of paint to room walls by “sponge stippling” is a method now used by interior decorators to achieve pleasing results. A rough or patched wall is decidedly improved by sponge stippling and the final effect is one of patterned richness.

A unique feature of the new Polar Ice and Fuel Company, Irvington station at Tacoma avenue and East Tenth street, is the “mechanical ice man,” shown in the center of the picture just left of the station manager, Charles Martin. Popular in other metropolitan areas, this ice machine dispenses twenty-five pounds of ice by the insertion of a dime in a slot. It is very easily operated and provides twenty-four-hour facilities for east side residents. If, late at night, hosts need more ice they may get it without difficulty. A complete display of icers and other modem ice refrigerators maintained for the convenience of east side residents is exhibited in the new station. Polar ice is made from distilled water. Paint on Clean Surface When painting, be sure that new coats are not applied over blistered paint. The surface should be scraped clean before the new surface protection is put on.

STUDY TOURISTS TO SAILjULY 3 Trip to Sweden Will Be First of Kind for American Group. NEW YORK. April 14—Final itinerary arrangements for the first American school movement to Sweden have been completed under the direction of Robert C. French, headmaster of Garey School, Aberdeen. Md.
