Dr. James Stanley Dur- kee has resigned as president of Howard Unive to accept the pastorate of Plymouth Congrega- tional Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. but will continue his duties as head of the unfversity until the end of the present school term on June 11. Dr. Durkee, who has been filling for some weeks the pulpit made famous by Henry Ward Beecher, Ly- man Abbott and the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, announced his acceptance of the call to become the fourth pastor of the Brooklyn church in his sermon there yesterday morn- ing. Dr. Hillis, the last pastor, re- slgned because of ijllness in April, 1924, after serving the churgy for 25 years. Takes Pulpit July 1. Although he will not formally as- sume his duties in the church until July 1, Dr. Durkee said today that he planned to ach there in the interim as many Sundays as possible The selection of a successor to Dr. , who assumed the office of president of Howard University on July 1, 1918, has not vet been dis- cussed by the university board of , trustees, which makes the appoint- ment. Dr. Durkee said this morning that he had sent his resignation to the president of the board, Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of the school of religion of Yal Iniversity, some days ago, but in view of his purpose to continue as head of the university until June, local members of the board sald no meeting had yet been called to con- sider the matter of his successor.

Needs 1 Hog As Gift to Boost Its Total to 1,000 Won't somebody in nearby Mary- land or Virginia please give the District of Columbia a hog?, The population of grown-up pigs in this area, as of January 1, 1926, the Department of Commerce an nounced today, shows only 999, and the District stands at the very bottom of the list of States where there are lots of hogs. If the District only had another hog that would bring the total to 1,000—all within the 10 miles square of this hallowed ground. But even If it did get another hog, the District would still be at the tafl end of the States, but nevertheless 1,000 sounds much larger than 999, and 1s dignified as well. As an afterthought, it might be stated, no officlal of the District government {s proud enough of the hog population to act as custodian or official receiver of the donated porker, should there be one forth- coming. Towa, according to the depart- ment, is firmly established as the leading hog State with 8,687,001, of all ages. Rhode Island was the lowest of the States with 4,175, while the entire country can boast of 51,842,428, “NATIONAL GUARD NIGHT” Performance at Theater Tonight for Organization’s Benefit.'
