of this city and that these plans will
be ready by April /.
Just as soon after receiving the
plans as it is possible to do so the eX-
cavation for the Y. M. c. A. building
will be started" continued Professor
Smith.
Work has already been started by
Ashelman & Gage on preparing the
plans for the new structure, which will
cost about $4,000 and will be fully
equipped and modern in every respect.
The new structure will be located
on the northeast corner of the inter-
section of Thirteenth street and
Twelfth avenue north, just outside the
college campus where land has been
secured by the college "Y." The new
building will be two stories in height,
but just at this time it is impossible
to state what style of architecture will
be used or exactly how the building
will be arranged. The general offices
will be on the main floor with large
lobby and reading room while the Sec
ond floor will be largely devoted to
dormitories, and an auditorium. The
basement will likely include the baths
and other facilities.
Professor Smith said that the col
lege association and the city associa-
ton were very brotherly and that the
Y. M. c. A. campaign which will be
started in Fargo shortly will be for
both associations
The board of trustees, which has
complete charge of the funds and the
construction of the new "Y" building
is composed of S. s. Lyon, chairman,
President E. F. Ladd, DR.. John II.
Worst, Prof. 1. w. Smith, Attorney w.
J. Clapp, e. D. Angel. and Robert
Reed of Armenia.

Dropping two stories we find the
Noseys. Thought that statement would
make you "sit up and take notice..
This dropping" was merely a literal
one. The characters of the Noseys,
however, are very real and their name
is q rather suggestive one. They are
merely small items in the big bill OF

dies may appear rather drastic to the
facts, and If so, it is recommended
that, before reaching a conclusion,
he investigate further and be
sure that his information is obtained
from reliable sources.
The engineer is part of a peculiar
system in connection with most OF his
work in a city and with which he is
not burdened in his work with private
corpora tons. This system is COM
posed of, first, the public; second, the
city commission or council; third, the
engineer, and fourth, the contractor.
In reading the statements that follow
it must be carefully kept in mind that
in most cases elected public officials
do not care for their public duties in
the same manner as they do their own
affairs. In a private contract, the
engineer is engaged because he is
capable and more than that, it is
known that he has the interests of his
employer as his own. This does not
mean either that he does not fully
recognize the rights Of the contractor
The cases then, when the contractor
can influence the engineer or those
who are in higher authority to his
advantage and to their detriment are
almost entirely absent, and where
present, amount to fraud.
In other words, there is no under
ground or invisible system, for the
very good reason that the interests
of the engineer, the directors, and the
stockholders are one and the same.
Is this true in the case of municipal
contracts? To those who are unin-
formed or who have only given the
subject a superficial examination, the
answer would be, generally speaking
yes In this case, the public are the
stockholders, the council or commits
sioners, the directors, and the third
party is the engineer. AS 1t actually
works out in practice, the engineer II
appointed by the elected governing
body and then is neglected by then
and allowed to shift for himself. i i
he reports difficulties in getting con-
tract work done, the reports are re.
ceiYed and placed on file, or worsi
stir instead OF making an investiga'
ton and satisfying themselves they
cali the party Of opposite interests IL
and allow him to tell them what to do
and how much he has been injured by
not being allowed to do the work II
| his own way, instead OF according u
plans and specifications.
| It should be clearly understood tina
| there are good contractorss-a othel
contractors. The contractors who d.
good work and give dollars worth
| Of value for every dollar they receiv'
/ are always in the majority, but thu
other kind manage to cause enough
| trouble to keep the best men extreme
| ly busy. 1t is proposed to discuss TIN
/ various classes of work under thei
appropriate heads In order to b,
specific as to the difficulties.

Effect of Wind Upon Sound.

One of the government scientists gives an interesting explanation of the action of the wind in preventing the spread of sound.
 It is, he claims, not the wind as such that prevents sound from travelling against it, but differences in the strength of the wind. If, for instance, the wind is stronger above than below or stronger at one side its effect will be to tilt the sound waves in one direc- ton or another. Differences of temper ature in the air also cause defection of the waves of sound. Other atmos- pheric causes exist which defect sound from a straight course. Some of the sirens in this country, says this scien- tist, produce sounds which ought theo- retically to be audible at distance of 1,5O0 miles; but, in fact, the authori- ties are satisfied if they are heard only two miles away. The reason for the discrepancy between calculation and experiment was probably atmospheric dedection of the sound.

Father Laval ystill further modernized it into Michispi, which another father, Labatt, softened into AIisisipi The only changes since have been to over load the word with consonants.

 Paragraph XXX, Registration Reg sulations.

 In sending copies of the provost marshal generals telegram to the diff ferent registration boards, Governor Holcomb suppl it with the following message:
 This telegram assumes that you have prepared the triplicate lists re- qllired by Paragraph xxxIx of the Regulations. If you have not done so, you should at once see to it.
 It is the duty of your board to use all reasonable means to secure the registration of those who have not registered.

Must Register Gar
 of Col. Armstrong

Colonel Frank B. Armstrong, of the Boy Scouts of America, local organ ization not affiliated with the National Boy Scouts, has, to quote a traffic of fcer, been going big" in this city, driving hither and thither through cir GUS parades and elsewhere, being giv- en precedence because of the fact that he carried a marker 'U. s. A." on his car.
 Armstrong has the military bee, and that of a member of the regular commands in this city and driving them about the streets. Capt. Charles Wheeler of the traffic squad found the auto had not been registered and he summoned Armstrong into court.
 This morning Armstrong and Capt. Arthur Bennett of the Fourth Co.,, National Guard, were incensed over the matter. Armstrong asserted the car had been placed at the command of the Fourth company, and was be- ing used exclusively by them. In view of this fact he placed the ''U. S. A marker on the machine, without reg istering it with the state. Judge Bartlett nolled the case on payment of costs and ordered the car be registred. Several military men who came to the court with Arm strong hea.tedly asserted after the case had been disposed of that Captain Wheeler was "sore because he had been ordered to move off the steps of the Armory'' This allegation brought a laugh from Wheeler.

Vacation and Efficiency.

vacation and EmcIencys
 1t is the change really more than the rest that is of so much value in vaca- tion. Besides the absorption of the fatigue products, there is an opportuni- ty given those functions which have remained inactive and sluggish, and even atrophic, to exercise and develop. It is restoration of balance. For con fined and sedentary workers even hard and coarse country work is restful and invigorating. For indoor workers this sort of a vacation means new lease on life. Very often a bordsr gle case of tuberculosis is maintained a little longer above the line by a proper vaca- tion. The increased tendency to arterio- sclerosis and other degenerative condi- tions, as well as premature seni1ity, nearly all the result of high pressure and efficiency, can be much neutralized by periodic vacations, a vacation free from the grind, of course, but also from the worry. incident. thereto. The vacation is q therapeutic measure come to stay.-New York Medical Journal.

 part of the reservation in Trutns ull, Kidis was told to halt his machine and all of the four men with the girl got out. The jitney driver next heard screams. The girl says she was led from the road and thrown by the men to the ground.
 Her screams could be heard a great O1Stdnc0 ana one or the aSSa1lantS ad. v1sed.
