Stairways, Plumbing and Til ing Yet Unfinished. The Women’s building is now in the final stages of construction and will, ac cording to Miss Mabel Cummings, head c.f the physical education department, be complete and ready for use by Thanks giving. However. Miss Cummings stated that she was assured at the beginning of rhe fall term that it would be completed by November 1st, later receiving the altered decision that November 15 would be the earliest possible date for its com pletion. so now she says that if Thanks giving time as the “latest hope”, is post poned, she will not be very surprised, although every effort is being made to fulfill this hope. “There is quite an army of men at work on the building.” Practically everything is finished as far as the woodwork, plastering and some fixtures are concerned but there are 80 showers and 185 dressing stalls to be finished ;fet. Also, the stairways are on the waiting list and together with the in stallation of radiators, plumbing fix tures and tiling in the tank; must be completed before the given date,” she said. One item of personal interest which appealed to Miss Cummings was the fact that there would be a goodly num ber of office rooms for the instructors. “Escape to the library where protection from the librarians is to be li ad or a sneap - out to the rest, room of the* gymnasium, has always been necessary when a little time to myself has been desired,” said Miss Cummings. _ “This was all due to the cramped space of my office, and the continual stream of people coming into the room,” she said.

The wliold world needs will power, must have will power. Let us start the glorious work in the cradles of learning. Having studied all the occult sciences including .Tni .Titsu Marquis of Queensberry, and craps, I have evolved a system that will astonish the world and revolutionize scholastic training. The following lesson will illus trate my marvelous system and will bring instant results, f it doesn’t then the subject ought to go into the strong man contest. LcRson One. Buy one quart of dil1 pickles, and sis lemons. Procure from a junk dealer a very dull saw7 and a very rusty file. Set the saw up in some firm place and start filing it. being sure to file just opposite to the direction of the slant of the teeth. A large resultant screech will let you know that you arc doing it correctly. The louder the screech the higher the degree of per fection. Now think of some calm, lofty thought, meanwhile filing slowly, delib erately. forefully. Sing “My Rosary" keeping time with the file. Think of life after death. Then eat three lemons with sufficient slowness to get the pristine vigor and mellifluous tang of each drop of the benificent fruit. Be sure to think of great, kind, noble thoughts. Pic ture the patron Saints with their majes tic white beards and patriarchal kindly faces. Now eat three pickles and press down more firmly on the file. Next re construct in your mind’s'eye the dazzling .".erne of hillrwy clouds, angels gloriously aflame in radiant white vestments — some angels wear clothes. Now finish off the lemons. Lastly, hark to the sonorous, peelings cadenaces of a great organ; hear the majestic music slowly pulsate through a dimly lit mansion, while robed figures tread quietly to and fro. in the distance a dim glowing light diffusing an effulgent-liaze. Rapidly crunch the remainder of the pickles be tween and say. “Asbestos, shredded wheat, coco cola.” This, done three times a week, in sures iron control > over the nerves Vinegar may be substituted for thr lemons if a liquid is preferred.
