ment committee and will preside at

day the campaign will not be confined
to Princeton graduates, but will be ma
tional in scope.
"We consider Princeton national
institution" he said, "and as such we
feel that she is duty bound to render
national service.
The financial crisis confronting the
endowed universities and colleges Of
the country is of the utmost concern
not only to the alumni of these uni
versities, but to all individuals inter
ested in our future national develop
ment," Mr.. Thompson continued.
"lnstitutions of higher education at
present are encountering difficulty not
only in keeping pace with new develop
ments. but are being choked in their
established lines of endeavor as re-
suit of increased expenses. The cost
of education has increased, while the
income of these institutions has re-
mained stationary"

A uproar which proceeded from a

Brooklyn, early yesterday morning dis
turbed slumber in the home of Mayor
HyIan, in the rear, only stones throw
away. 1t was not the noise Of en-

tectives Hall and Keith it indicated
the climax of a crap game.
The detectives entered and arrested
twenty-nine men. The only married
man among them was Joseph Brown,
Of TAO Wilson Avenue. He said that
as it was nearly 6 A M, his wife would
be looking for him.
Lieutenant Henley suggested that
$500 cash bail would settle the diff
ticulty. Twenty-eight men, including
Brown, turned empty pockets inside
out. The twenty-ninth, John Burke,
of 227 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, be-
gan counting out bills from a double
handful extracted from his pockets.
When he got to $500 he restored the
rest and showed the $500 across the
desk as bail for Brown.
Vastly relieved, Brown started for
home at top speed. He turned up with
the rest later in Gates Avenue police
court and, like the rest, paid fine

Rather Spanish

The Gossip's attention was
then attracted to a stunning
white broadcloth hat-a great
sailor, turning up q wee bit and
edged with navy grps-grain rib
bon-rather suggestive of the
hat of a Spanish dancer, only, of
course, flatter and larger. This
was faced with navy velvet, and
really while extremely simple it
is extremely striking; as most
every one is all tanned up, it is
noticeably effective.

In passing through the
Hat Shop the other day The
Gossip was fascinated by
several perfectly irresistible
hats.
A Brown Duvefyne Hat
positively waved "cone
over here" to her and of
course she paused and tried
it on, and such a sensation.
1t was all lines, yet appar-
emily had no lines. for the
brim was soft and hoppy
and could be poked hither
and thither in II most enter
tanning way. Imagine what
trimmed the dear thing
nothing but a band of ribbon
that looked like leather. 1t
piped the edge of the brim
and circled the crown, end
ing in a smart, dashing knot
on one side.
This hat is an imported
model from "Odelle" and is
exceedingly extravagant;
however. it takes at least ten
years off ones head.

METHODS FOR LCkGfr<3

Thousands Of good men in Nissis-

mess and muddle we have had in this
state for the past few years. and
when Longino entered the race, they
fled to him as a relief from the con-
ditions heretofore existing. But if the
Longino enthusiasts such as The Tri-
bune, are going to spread such cam
paign dope as this, and charge Mr..
Johnston up with SHORTCOMINGS of his
friends and make political capital of
the fact that Cutrer, or some other
supporter of Johnston, has violated
the law and paid fine, then we who
