shortly after the close of the Uni

were made for the erection of a new

south gate of the University. when
the campus inhabitants flocked back
to Stanford, those who looked for the
Gamma Phi's atstheir old home close
to the quadrangle were directed to
the imposing edifice. which graCes
the knoll back of the college grounds,
and where, owing to the slow prog
ress of construction, the girls per-
form the Offices of living on the two
upper stories of their new home.
Close by the sorority the Delta Tau
Delta fraternity is building new
quarters to replace the house which
they have for years occupied on La

scenes of their old memories on Sep

of climbing improvised ladders to
the attic. for the weeks which will
pass before the carpenters have fin
ished their labor. Theta Delta Chi
fraternity now occupies a new home
erected just outside of the south gate
to the University campus. This
house was commenced before the stu

house, which sustained the most dam
age wrought by the earthquake on
any of the campus dwellings, is now
occupied by the members of the fra

A magazine In speaking of the IA

some OF Alice Roosevelt Longworth's
ancestors. The article ends as fol-

family took an active interest I'm the
industries and the welfare of early
Pennington while entertaining the
towns visitors In the little structure
since included In the modern mansion
OF odd Gate" the noted hospitality of
the homestead has not waned. Spe-
Cial charm Is attached to the short
period in which Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth, as little Alice Roosevelt. lived
for time at the Cowles mansion and
here entertained her young friends Of
the Connecticut town. After the death
Of her mOther-whO was Miss Alice

her fathers sister. Mrs. Cowles. until
the present Mrs. Roosevelt became the
second wife of President Roosevelt,
and under the tender and loving care
of the new mother, Alice grew into

SMALL FARMS
UNITED STATS JUDGE DOLE
FINDS A GROWING COMMUNITY
ON KAUAI.

Judge Dole, who spent about two
weeks of his vacation on Kauai, talked
Interestingly yesterday concerning the
plans which are being carried out by
the Territory, in connection with the
McBryde Plantation. for furnishing
homestead land to those entitled to it,
Judge Dole was much impressed by
what is being accomplished on the
Garden Island in the way of small
farming, and with the wisdom of the
McBryde company in the stand it has
taken in the matter. IF planters had
only been able to see things in a sim
liar light thirty years ago, he said,
"They would be much better off to-
day"
The plan which is being worked out
on Kauai, and is proving most salts
factory all round, is the opening of
right of purchase lots of from to 20
acres Of settlement, by the government.
These lands are fine pineapple lands,
and are Immediately adjacent to the
McBryde plantation, which is en-
couraging it's employees to take up these
claims. In order to assist in this res
pect, the company is putting up COM
Portable houses on the different lots,
for which $3.50 is charged, a mortgage
being taken for security. Many of the
homes already built are much more
costly than this however, the persons
owning them having means to add to
the amount which the company is will
ing to advance With the house the
company also furnishes water for do
nestle purposes.
