UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, TUC-1
FOX. Nov. 14. Armistice Day was
declared a holiday by the university
faculty. However, the whole univer
sity community met at S o"clock at on
o fthe most Impressive assemblies ever
held here. Dean Hyror Cumminps,
who presided at the assembly, said
that "our program la not only a tribute
to what haa been achieved, but an at
tempt also to take a forward look. We
must set our stakes for the goal that
we wish to attain, for unless we do
ny of the things we have fought for
if to slip away from ua."
" t'apt. Arthur O. Cody addressed the
assembly. His subject was "Ideals."
He said In part:
"Thla occasion haa leen made pos
sible by your own splendid efforts, by
devotion to your own high Ideals. I
have wandered a good deal up and
down and across the world and the one
Brest truth which has Indelibly im
pressed Itself on my mind and soul is
the necessity of having and the super
latlve value of devotion to Ideals.
"What ar Ideals? They are the
particular emanations of the brain and
the soul, the personality of man which
particularly differentiates him from
the brute creation."
Captain Cody read an address which
he presented on behalf of the graduat
ing; officers in a school in France at a
banquet which the graduating clasa
gave In honor of the Instructor offi
cers, French and American. There he
made reference to American Ideals, the
faith, the devotion, which made Armis
tice Day possible.
Thomas J. Kelly, distinguished for
service in France, sang two songs.
Mrs. Frances Carter, well known ex
pression teacher of New York city,
who is upending the winter In Tucson,
read "Flanders' Fields" and "America's
Answer." !
The program closed with the singing

r of the music department.

Dean D. W. Working of the college
of agriculture has Just returned from
a two weeks' trip which Included at
tendance at the Southern Tariff con
gress at New Orleans and also a meet
ing of the Association of Land Grant
colleges at Springfield, Mass. The In
teresting thing at New Orleans wss
that It was a southern tariff congress
and that a permanent organization was
formed. Tho whole Idea of the meet
ing seemed to be to build up an effi
cient organization and to promote leg
islation for congress to provide "a
tariff scheme on southern products
that will equalize the cost of produc
tion In this country with that of for
Ign countries."
All the state universities that are
founded under the original land rst
set of 1861 comprise the group of land
grant colleges which were represented
at Springfield-. It Includes all of the
state agricultural Institutions of the
country and all of the universities that
have agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations connected with them.
They discuss matters of education of
the relations of the college to the de
partment of agriculture and the fed
eral bureau of education.
"Prohabl ythe most important sub
Ject under discussion was that of re
search In agriculture," said Dean
Working, in speaking of the meeting
at Springfield. "The collection section
discussed It and the station section
made it its leading item. Probably the
best single paper of the association
wns one by Dr. K. W. Allen on The
Effects of the War on Research in
Agriculture.
"Notwithstanding the great turnover
In the experiment stations," says Dean
Working, " the importance of funda
mental research In agriculture has not
,.en lost sight of by the public. The
rt-enlargement of extension work
and the recent rapid development of
teaching work in vocational agriculture
have served to emphasise the Import
ance of giving more liberal support to
the experiment stations in order that
the many questions arising In connec
tion with the popularization of scien
tific agriculture may receive adequate
and trustworthy answers based on
competent and ralnstaktng investiga
tions by men able to devote their full
time to research problems." "
On his way home. Dean Working
stopped at Ames, Iowa at the Iowa
State College of Agriculture and Me
chanic Arts, and at the State Agricul
tural college at Manhattan, Kansas.
We think our college of griculture
email, but we actually have moe stu
dents in our college in proportion to
the numbers of farms In the state than
in either Kansas or Iowa." said Dean
Working, "and they are the two biggest
independent colleges of agriculture in
the country."

is an English mining engineers ex- '
planation of the present kw price of
the red metal.
Henry Edwards is the mining engin
eer in question. He is in Prescott from
London for the purpose or looking over
some Yavapai cojnty mining property
for an English syr.dicate. Mr. Edwards
was formerly general manager of the
Cape Mining company, a corporation
owning properties in South Africa and
other mining districts where English
capital is interested, and during the
war played an active part in the Eng
lish metal industry..
"Even before the end of the war,"
said Mr. Edwards, "we were beginning
to use large amounts of old metal, some
o fit salvaged from the battle field and
a great deal of it consisting of con
demned material rendered obsolete by
tho rapid change In ordnance and
equipment design during the progress
of the war. '
"Now that the war Is over, I -should
say that wa have enough copper on
hand in Eagland to last us for an In
definite period. Our smelting industry
is practically run on old metal, the vast
stores of salvaged copper making im
; portation of ores unnecessary for the
time being. Tr.our-.mds of men are
busy on the bat ( of France, col
lecting the debr's ' 'ie great war and

metals, such a rorrier, which were

tilities but not i. :,(.( p. A copjfr shell

'Germany, however,'' added Mr. Ed
wards; "doesn't share in those vast
stores of old meta. Germany is really
stripped of copper. J-he German army
being on enemy soif most of the time,
practically all of tha debris of battle is
also on allied soil, and. the allied coun
tries are reaping the harvest of old
metal to be found on their battlefields.
Germany must buy copper. But Ger
many is not in a position to buy, so
that cannot help the copper situation
for some time to come. Russia is
similarly situated; she greatly needs
copper and other metals, but is in such
a state of disorganization that import
ations are still out of the question."
