his time in shop work, and engine
practice and practice with tools and
metals.
Several weeks will be spent in
actual road work, the machinery to
be operated by students under the
supervision of the instructor in
charge. Some experimental as well
as field work will be done, in
which gasoline pillow outfits will be
used. The engine practice work will
begin as soon as the frost is out Of
the ground, and will continue until
the end of the semester.

Paris, March 23.-Accord- ing to the latest reports, the long-distance cannon which bombarded Paris this after noon was firing from a dis tance of 12O kilometres (ap- proximately 741a miles), and was located about 12 kilo- metres beyond the Frencch front.
 Paris, March 23.-The first daylight air raid on Paris came today, which was one of perfect sunshine. The people of Paris refused to immure themselves in cellars and other subterra- mean shelters, and although tho subway stations were crowded, the streets always had a great number of people in them watching for an aerial battle or. some other stirring incident.
 As the day passed and the all-clear signal was not given, hte feeling grew that something new in the way of a raid was expected, and this was not expelled until an official statement was issued saying that the delay was due to the bombardment by long dis tance cannon.
 The ail-cIear wns then s0und-
 ed and normal was resumed. The
 cabIe office reopcned to take up < accumulated piles of dispatches.
 Pieces of the shells on exami-
 ation were found to bear rifling
 marks. which proved they had not
 been dropped, but had been fired
 from n gum. This apparently Ieft
