Present Location Favorable.

The present location of the law school
ON the top two floors of New Masonic
Temple, 18th street and New York ave-
nue-is considered an ideal one, and
if the board Of trustees acts favorably
upon the recommendation for the cree
ton of the building II probably Will be
situated in the immediate vicinity jof
the present site. Such a location would
make 1T within a block of the medical
school, the university hospital and
the nurses home. and thus would tend
to ccntralize the universitys struc-
lures.
II is likely that the board of trustees
Will hold a special meeting in the near
future to consider the recommenda- =
tions of President Stockton. The pres
ent buildings of the university are be-
coming so crowded that expansion of
the plant is imperative, and conse-
uently it is believed that favorable
action will be taken by the board. If
the board acts favorably it is proba BILE
that the new buildings will be ready
for occupancy by next February.

buildings on both sides of the main

The plaster of paris is mixed at once
with the white Of an egg and applied to the
broken surfaces. which must be held firmly
together until the plaster sets. This also
repairs lamp tops and other metal articles.
The one particular bottle that is most
used In the household is the ammonia bottle.
This may be purchased at any grocers, but
the stronger grade Is to be had from the
druggist Two tablespoonfuls of it will

out with this treatment.
The last bottle Is handful of steel wool.
This may be bought at any paint store and
is invaluable in removing spots from the
