many feel that the increase IS unnecessary. An

their relation to the price of board
Superintendent Smoke Of the Commons said

said that 200 students had left the dining hall

Smoke denied that the number had yet reached

Besides, the wife Of her late husbands Mrs.
Dickinson becomes the daughter-n-aw of her late

present husband her brother-in-Iaw so there is
only distant relationship between her present
husband and her former one
