Congressman Sells launched into his
subject with mnch vim. He was in

the differences which have made pos.
sible the dissatisfaction in the Repub-
lican ranks of today. He stated that
he had given DR.. Massey every oppor-

charges he would bring against him.

PRESIDENT HELPS BOSTON
LAY CORNER STONE OF
NEW 7. II. C. A. BUILDING

When President Taft in his address at
the laying of the corner stone OF the
new Y. NJ. c. A. Building. in Hunting
ton Avenue. Boston, recently. spoke in
superlative terms Of the structure he was
helping to dedicate he did not pass be-
yond the bounds of truth. Probably no
other Y M. c. A. plant in the world
represents more in the way Of outlay
or in point of the variety OF service
which it contemplates rendering to the
community. The association owns three
and one-half acres on boulevard which
is rapidly being appropriated for great
buildings associated with the higher life
of the city, such as the Museum OF FINE
Arts and the new Opera House. The
association probably will spend over a
million and a quarter dollars before next
spring, when the building probably will
be ready for occupancy. 1t is really a
series of FIVE structures. all on separate
foundat tions, but connected by bridges
and corridors One is set apart for the
educational work and the boys depart
ment, another for administration, an
other for the association hall and audi
torium, a fourth for the gymnasium. and
a large section for dormitory uses. These
various edifices occupy 5000 square feet
Of land.
