meeting ground of the twenty-five hundred individuals who form the Technology family of today.
 The Walker Memorial was suggest ed shortly after the death of President Walker and a fund was subscribed which touched about $1OO,OOO. It was to be a memoria that was peculiarly appropriate since in his life and while he was president he realized the funda- mental need of the Institute for what may be termed a. social side Without dormitories, with the students seat tered through homes and lodging houses in every part of greater BOs- ton, there could be no student life distinctive of the college. It was an idea of his to correct the need, but at the time 1t was the financing of edu- cationaI Technology that was General Walkers chief care, so that the luxury of student accommodations could not come during his day.
 The Memorial is a noble building of three stories the cost of which will be above half a million dollars. The major portion of the fund is in hand and the alumni will be asked to see that the construction does not lag, and from their past records it is evident from the beginning that their sub scrfptions will be all sufficient for the purpose.

There are laboratories for the testing of mater rials, steam laboratories, gas engine laboratories, hydraulic engineering, electrical engineering, heat, chemical engineering, naval architecture min ing engineering, metallurgical engi- neering and so on. By a proper com bination a-nd organization of all these laboratories. with due regard, of course. to the all-important question of man ming them properly, there is scarcely a practical problem with, which the institute would not be in a position to cope. The primary purpose of these laboratories and of the institute as whole is. of course, to train men who can be useful to industry, but one of the special needs of industry that will inevitably be of far greater importance past is the need of investigation and research to solve it's special problems. As you know, many of the great busi- ness organizat tions of the country have their own research departments and find it profitable to spend huge sums annually on their maintenance The Institute of Technology, amongst other things, must supply men for service in these research laboratories, and the demand will soon grow out of all pro. portion to the supply. These great re- search laboratories are, of course, cost ly affairs and many of the smaller con- cerns will soon find themselves in a specially difficult position. They will not be able to afford research labora- tories and they will go under in com petition with others unless through

 The closing number was to have been Swing Low Sweet Chariot, but the quartet was forced to respond to an encore and gave by request, No body Knows What Trouble I see.
 The Hampton quartette is the best Negro quartette in America and is known from coast to coast for their singing of the plantation melodies or spirituals of the South.
 This music is", as Mr. Walter Damrosch has said, unique and i'm imitable, and is the only music of this country, except that of the Indi- ans, which can claim to be folk music. In it the Negroes pour out their joys and sorrows in naive, but wonderfully moving fashion; and in the face of such testimony of emotional and es- wider future possibilities in the great work of liberation of mind and soul, which is now going on?'

 Nearly nine thousand graduates and former students, who have felt the in f1uence of Samuel Armstrong and Hollis Burke Frissell, have been spreading the Hampton idea of educa- tion-education for service.

pisreoards Auto Law.

A motorist who in disregarding the traffic rules in passing a standing trolley car, narrowly averted a seri- ous accident by turning his car into a side street to avoid hitting several passengers getting on the trolley. A trolley bound for Franklin square stopped at Twelfth street to take on the few passengers waiting for the car when the automobile approached going the same way as the car, and without slowing down tried to pass the car when a passenger alighting al- most stepped in front of the machine which would have struck the person if the driver had not turned quick in to Twelfth street. Automobile drivers along Central avenue seem to have not the slightest regard for the rights of pedestrians.

NO NEED TO
 FEAR .BALDNESS
Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick and Lustrous on Bald and
 Thin Spots.


 Thousands of men and women are growing bald every day and don't know ehe reason why. This is indeed Ia pity, says a hair specialist, who states that badness usually comes from carelessness, and that anyone who gives the hair just a little atten- ton should always have an abundance of good, healthy hair. Dandruf and dirt cause badness by clogging the pores in the scalp, and giving the dan druff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding.
 The treatment is very simple: re- move the dirt by shampooing at least once in ten days and destroy the dan druff germs by frequently applying a little of the real Parisian Sage, a most efficient preparation that the best druggists everywhere are now recom- mending as one of the quickest and safest treatments to surely stop itch ing scalp and falling hair, remove all dandfuh and to properly nourish and invigorate the hair roots.
 Parisian Sage is also the discrimi- hating woman's favorite hair dressing because it gives her hair a softness and luster that fascinate and compel admiration. A generous bottle costs but little from Lee & Osgood Co.,, who guarantee 1t to you.
