ed to North Takoma and assisted in the
construction of the temporary quarters. It

but 1t was decided later to erect the
laboratory on the spacious lawn in front
of the ruins. At shutdown last evening
the laying of the sills had been completed,
and in another week the roof will be on.
There were not enough tools for all of
the students to assist in the work. other

been more advanced.

100 feet long. and will contain the labora-
tory and wiring laboratory. Office and
supply room. An order was given yester-
day to a New York concern for the draw
