Farmers, Interest In Speedway.

The farmers residing along the pro
posed route of the automobile speed
way to be built northward from Pen
nington, n. J.. for distance of thirty
miles are doing all in their power
through contributing inferior land and
charging low prices for better land tc
encourage the work. 1t is believed that
with the opening of the speedway there
will be a boom in real estate values
due to the demand by wealthy people
for sites for cottages and country resi-

ceived a request from the young wo-
men that they be allowed representa-
ton on the board of control. The ath-
letic fund at the college is gained by
the dollar extra tuition fee paid by
all students. AS there are about 1000
