 She says that the union and coop era1iOn of social, civic and educational f0Tces. such as cooperation of public schools, universities, social settlements and parent teaching associations are essential That for purposes of con crete representation of national and international epochs and episodes in history, we shall want as allies our school social center, public playground and the theater gOer society forces 1 We need the drama. the pageant, the
 moving picture possibilities; we need
 the united effort of all specializing, all uplifting, upbuilding and national character making organizations in the city. Thus besides those already men, 1 tioned, the churches, Christian associa- tioHs, civic, phiianthrepic and cultural clubs are to be united for the purpose | of bringing together their contribu- ! tens of time, labor, intelligence, quar- 1 ters, for a grand educational or so- l eIai alliance, which, while national ir | scope and conception, may begin her,

THERMos COMPANY PUTTING
 s5o,Ooo INTO BUILDING.
Will Add 1c0 Feet More to First Con
 tract.

In letter to President Cary of the Norwich Industrial Improvement asso- ciation, received here Saturday morn- ing, President walker of the American Thermos Bottle company gives the pleasing information that his compa- ny is ready to close a contract With Architect Torrance to add 100 feet or 10 more boys. to their new factory, making building BIO feet long.
 This will give 26,000 more square feet, or nearly 90,000 in all, and mean an investment of s5O,OoO i9 the build ing by the Thermos company
 MT. Walkers letter said in part: Gentlemen: I have your valued com munication of May 27. and acknow ledge with thanks receipt of contracts approved by your corporation.
 Note that there are inquiries for fac- tory sites adjacent to the new Ther- mos building, and will say in this>con- nection that we have no objection tQ 1 neighbors. We believe that the seven acres we will secure under the contract will in all probability provide ample room for some time to come.
 | In regard to the feeling on the part of some of your contributors that we were to provide for at least 75,000 square feet of floor space, call your at | tention to the fact that we today exe- ! cuted the contract with MT. Torrance l to increase the size of the building called for by the original contract by 10 bays, adding 26,000 square feet to l the size of the building as covered by l the original contract. This will give us a building with close to s0,000 square feet, so that there can be no 1 possible objection on the part of any of your contributors on the point raised by them.
 Mr. Nisscher will present contracts 1 for increasing the size of the building 1 for the approval of your corporation, and we trust that you will arrange for the immediate transfer of sufficient l ground to permit the enlargement o1
 the building by 10 bays together with a provision for getting to the building from the street leading down from
 Laurel Hill. This land should be 1 deeded outright at a price in accord
 ance with contract, which was to thu | effect that price should not be in ex-
 cess of s1.0GD per acre. Inasmuch al
 this land comes from land that woult
 come to us under the contract, do vol
 not think it would be perfectly fai
 for the corporation to add to the plo
 to be acquired by us under the con
 tract the amount deducted by reasol
 of our purchase and paying for sufh
 cient land upon which to increase th
 size of the original building?
