Three important facts about the
new gymnasium I x for Willamette

settled. The '.money is Jready, ' the
architect selected ' and on Satur
day the board picked the exact
site . ' r , ' ; ''
This site'wlU tie near where the
old gym stood, only a little far
ther to jthejback- of the campus,
so that the new structure1 will run
cfoW to Mill creek, utilizing 'all
the . property on that side of the
campus. S , y -. ' .
. Architect Doyle of Portland was
with the local board, and is now
drawing the final Plans to fit the
irround. He is 'going east within
the -next few days, for a last look
at "other new gyms to. pick up the
very latest improvements.'; It; is
expected thai, the final plans will
be 'ready for action within a
month. """- - 1 ':
Placing the gym at the site In
dicated, sets at. rest the Question
of moving the present athletic
field.". It puts to use some of the
campus ;that has heretofore been
only a weed spot. It had been
proposed to put the new structure
lip on' or near Twelfth street. This
location is ' almost- , two blocks
nearer; to 'down town, which is be
lieved to he a decided advantage,
besides using a heretofore unusa
ble plot of campus ground.. '

Girl Puts Thermometer in Hot

CHICAGO, March 1 2A- f lesn
colored hot water bottle was the
secret ' of . a hoax by which Miss
Evelpn .Lyons of Escanaba, Mich.,
had been able to persuade doc
tors for three weeks that she
had a temperature of 114 or
higher, although in apparently
good health, it was asserted tonight-
by Dr.- Morris' Fishbein,
asssociate editors of the Journal of
the . American ; Medical associa
tion, who reported the investiga
tion he made of the case.
-The woman, who had once
been a nurse, concealed a small
hpt water bottle in her bed, he
said, and through pretended fits
of coughing and hysteria, man
aged to place - the thermometer
bulb on the bottle Ions enough
to drive the mercury to the de
sired point. a
Dr. Fishbein who returned to
day from Escanaba .termed the
girl a "hysterical maligner."
Whenever she was unable to
touch the hot water bottle, : Dr.
Fishbein said the patient either
inverted the thermometer and
shook it: which caused the mer
cury to go to the top, or else
broke the' tube in ; a pretended
fit of excitement and pain. :
