Robert Bush in Title Role of skech by Titus,
 1908.

Paul Titus, a senior in the Yale Medical school, has written a play His Roommate' which has been pro- nounced by New York dramatic critics to be one of the best vaudeville sketch es of the past several years and it will be produced about Christmas time with Robert Bush of West Haven in the title role.

MILK PRODUCERS, ASSOCIATION.
Meets This Morning for Discussion
 and Election.


 The high price of grain and short- age of crops are given as the reasons for the recent advance in the price of milk, and the whole question will be discussed by members of the New Haven County Milk Producers associ- ation at the annual meeting to be held in A. 0. U. w. hall, Orange street, this morning at 10 o'clock,
 There is little likelihood, however, that the wholesale price will be in creased beyond five cents, as the pro- ducers say that peddlers and consum- CTS wouldn't stand for it. Two papers of more than ordinary interest are to be read at the meeting. The first will be offered by H, o. Daniels of Mid dletown, who has made caeful study of the cost of producing milk.
 The other paper will be read by F H. stadtmueller of Hartford on "The Production of Sanitary Milk and Sani- tary Prices" Officers for the ensuing year will be elected.

YALE's OLDEST GRAD.
Secretary Stokes Office Trying to Find
 Who It Is.


 By the death on September 20 of John Hustis, 'S3, an interesting com petition has sprung up at Yale for the position of oldest living graduate. Ac- cording to the records in Secretary Stokes office Rev. John V. Dodge, '35 of Evansville, Ill, who was born October A. 1915 Is the only survivor of the class of 1885, the oldest class with a living representative. William D. Ely, 36, of Providence, R. L, however, was born June IS, 1915, and Is, therefore, four months older, though year later in graduation. Hon. George T. Spencer, '37, of S2 Third street, Corning, N. Y, was born still earlier, on November 6, 1914, and Chester Dutton, 39, whose ad- dress Is R. F. D. 3, Concordia, Kan. is older still having been born March 24, 1914. According to these statistics Chester Dutton Is. if alive, the oldest living graduate. The secretarys office has received no information from Mir. Dutton or his family for a considerable time and 1t is uncertain whether or not heis still living. Of the four oldest lying Yale men itis curious fact that their ages are reversed from the usual order of things, the youngest in the year of graduation of the four being oldest in age.
