Funston's Nickname,

General Frederick Funston was
member of the Phi Delta Theta frater-
nifty at the University of Kansas. The
generals fraternity brothers at Kansas
knew him as "Timmy." This nickname
came about through the poor writing of
the fraternity member who sent in the
names of the pledges the year Funston
became a Phi Delt. The name was
printed "Timston" in the Phi Delta
Theta magazine, and in the form of
"Timmy" stuck to the stocky, cocky
collegian throughout his college career

Queer Nest of the Tontobara

The oldest of all birds nests is the
one built by the tontobane, a South
African songster. 1t is built of cotton
and always upon the tree producing

male outside, where he builds a senti-

sits in the box and keeps watch or

a snake he warns the family, but never
enters the main nest.

Every device known to twentieth
century school building construction

open to the children of DAILY addition.
The new school, which is located be-

suburbs of southwestern Missoula

Construction work on the building
was started last May, and the school

this including all the heating and
furnishing fixtures. The electric fin
lures have not been installed as yet,
but they will be put in during the next
two weeks.
The school building is composed of
an upright central portion two stories
high. thanked by wings one story in
height, and has many features not
common to the other school buildings
of the Garden city.
The front is 14S feet long, with the
wings extending back to a depth of 63
feet. The architecture of the building
is very attractive, and the Franklin
school Is one of which not only the
people of Daily addition, who are the
most benefited by it, may be proud.
The erection of this new modern
schoolhousc may be counted as an
achievement for the city of Missoula.
While the building has been made as
attractive as possible both to the out
side view and throughout the interior,
special pains have been taken to as
sure practical durability Of con-
struction in every way.
Additions Possible.

and partly two, as has been previously
described. The present building was
erected in such way as to leave the
way unimpeded for further additions

followed in the original construction.
The first floor of the building Is
given over to six classrooms and two
offices. The second story of the cen
trail part contains the auditorium,
which will accommodate about ESQ
people, while in the basement are the
heating plant and two large play
rooms, one for the boys and one for
the girls. The capacity of the school
is set at $50 pupils. though at present
only about a third of that number are
attending the school
One special feature of the Franklin
school, which is becoming more and
