advantage in the location of the Michigan

in carrying on in different places the
work of the first year, or the first two
years, of Il liberal arts course or of a
course preliminary to chronological work,
provided the faculty and equipment Of
these two years are fully utilized.
1T is when specialized and archaeological
work is begun in the second or third year
of the usual course when the services of
high -salaried men and enormously ex-
pensive equipment are required, that the
waste and efficiency of plant inevitably
appear"
Considerable effort has recently been
put forth to prevent needless duplication
both In the case of public and private in
situations, but SO far little actual con-
solidation on the part of state institutions
has taken place.

18TH ST. PROPERTIES
BOUGHT BY WOODWARD
Consideration in Deal Re-
ported to Have Been
$4,000.

The two old brick residences at I'll and
113 18th street northwest have been pur-
chased by Ross ]. Woodward as an in
vestment. The sale was made through
the office of the F. II. Smith Company
and the consideration is said to have
been $4,000
The property known as 713 18th street
was held in trust by the National Saw
ings and Trust Company. The other
piece was formerly owned by Robert
Callahan, jr.
The two buildings have a combine ed
frontage of twenty-nine feet. The lot is
eighty-seven feet deep, and in the rear
there is a twenty -nine-foot alley. The
property is specially desirable for bust
ness purposes, because of the location
of the alley. which makes the entire
width of the rear of the lot accessible.
1t is understood that while the property
was purchased as an Investment the old
brick residences may be torn down and
a modern business structure erected on
the site.

the Macdonald vein In the Montana

In the North Star workings inasmuch
as the mine Is located on Mount Cd

therefore several minor faults we're

One OF the most encouraging fea-
