Answering his intro duction, Mr Donaghey recalled that 28 years ago this month, the present main building of the college was un- der construction, comparing the con- dition of the campus at that time with the present equipment added during the years the college has been in ex- istence Rev Steele and other former Hendrix students now trustees re called the joy with which they for merly greeted the annual meeting of the board. By counting the number of visitors on the platform, they said the students of those days could figure to a mathematical certainty how much time would be consumed by the ad- dresses and how many classes would be gratefully missed. Each member of the board was introduced by Dr Thomas.
 The board adjourned shortly before o'clock for brief inspection of the new hospital, the heating plant and other buildings on the campus erect ed since the 1919 meeting. The entire board was guests of the college at g luncheon given at noon in Martin Hall, the new dormitory for men. The important matters to come before the body will be considered at the after noon session, Dr. Reynolds said.

RIDDLES CAPTURE
 FIRST OF SERIES DEFEAT TEACHERS, Al Visitors, Though Outhit by Pedago- gues, Win Mondays Game
 at Normal Field.

The Normal Pedagogues yesterday afternoon were unable to make their mine hits count for more than one run and lost the first game of the series l to the Henderson Brown Reddies from Philadelphia, 4 to l, on the Normal field The Reddies touched Carl Hen derson for five hits, but coupled with misplays, the five hits counted for four runs.
 With the score two to one in favor of the visitors in the eighth inning, the umpire passed H. Henderson from third home, tieing the score. A heat ed argument between the coaches, the players and the umps ensued. While the argument was at it's height the arbitrators withdrew to one side, got their heads together and decided to call Henderson back to third. Ac- cording to the ground rules, runner on an overthrow is allowed one base in andvance if he can make the base. Henderson was on second and had started for third before Bush threw to the batter. Dunn, catching for the Reddies, missed the ball and it hit a bystander The umps ruled at first that Henderson had third base stolen before the ball was missed, and was therefore entitled to home Henderson died on third when Fair grounded out, Rush to Greene
 The Pedagogues had another chance to score just ahead of the argu- ment. Weatherly reached first on an error by Green and took third on a hit by H. Henderson. Lary hit high foul which fell in the crowd near the first base line. Greene caught the ball and Weatherly attempted to score after the catch. Had he remained at third, he could have scored on the passed ball by Dunn.
 The Reddies were presented with their third first run by Bert Lary in right field. Taylor, first up for the Reddies hit pop fly to right that should have been fielded. Lary al lowed it to fall safe. On sacrifice and passed ball Taylor scored. In the second inning Stinnett hit to right and the ball was allowed to fall safe ly He was advanced to third on a sacrifice and scored on a sacrifice by Brown. Their other two scores came Tn the ninth when Ruh drew walk. went to second on Deans error and was advanced to third on a hit by Greene. He scored on wild pitch Greene taking third Greene in turn scored on sacrifice by Radford
 The Pedagogues made their lone marker in the sixth when H. Tender son beat out an infield hit and SCOT. ed on Larys triple to center.
 The same two teams will play this afternoon after which the Reddies will transfer to Russell field for two games with the Bulldogs. The Pedagogues determined this afternoon to even the entire series with the Henderson. Brown boys by taking the game, and It IS expected fast game will result AS the series now stands, the Reddies have won two and lost one to the Pedagogues. Lary will probably work for the Normal while Dunn will be the choice of Coach Lee.

Aiding Suburban Growth
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

Realty interests watching with interest every new
development in the proposition for merger OF the local
traction companies Should merger be effected would
undoubtedly result in increasing activity in Washington real
estate particularly in the recently opened outlying

One of the greatest hindrances to the proper develop
men of suburban real estate Washington has always
been the lack of rapid and dependable street car service
With exception of Chevy Chase practically all of Wash
the lines of the Washington Railway and Electric Company
This company attributes much of its present distress to
the fact that its lines extend to such extent into suburban
Washington 1t is fact that very large share of the COM
plants concerning poor service lodged with this traction
company from the Suburbanites who MUST use its
lines to reach their homes
Alone the Washington Railway and Electric Company
cannot improve the service to these suburbs Merged
with the Capital Traction Company there would be general
improvement of service every traction line in Washington
and the suburbs would reap their proportionate share.
There will be need for little else than improved street
service to lure thousands of prospective home owners to

that has kept many thousands from seeking and enjoy

The SKY'S The LIMIT
FOR new HOTEL RENTS
Rooms at Ambassador in New York
Will Bring Average of $4,000
Per Year Each.

A striking indication OF the demand
for high class residential accommoda-
tlons In New York and the steady in
crease In prices being paid for space
OF this nature is revealed by a state
ment made by the management OF the
new Ambassador Hotel. now under
construction at Park avenue. between
Fifty-first and FHty-second streets.
Although the hotel will not open be-
fore October /. the management an
nounces that enough applications al
ready have been received for resi-
Dental accommodations 10 more than
fill the amount of space that Will be
leased to permanent guests. No reser-
vstions, however, have as yet been al
lotted.. Five-room apartments are list
cd at $4,000 to $4,000 a year. Some
Of these suites include maids room,
boudoir baths, foyers, and private
halls. Three-room apartments VIII
rent from $4,000 to SIS 900 per year.
While some OF tho apartments will be
listed at the raIe OF $500 per room
a year, the average annual rental will
be from $4,000 to $4,000 per room.
While these prices probably repre-
sent higher figure than those
charged by any other hotel in the
United States, investigation among
the first-class hotels OF New York
would reveal sharp advance in the
prices asked for permanent suites as
a result OF the demand for living
quarters OF this description. The
shortage of servants is among the
chief contributing causes of these
conditions. With regard to the situs-
tion an official of the Ambassador Ho-
tel made this statement:
1T is really amazing to note the
rush New Workers are making to Sc
cure permanent quarters in hotels. AL
though only about 800 of the Ambas-
sador's rooms will be devoted to the
use of permanent guests, we are being
overwhelmed with applications for
space of this kind. At our temporary
offices. IL West Forty-sixth street.
every mail is bringing applications
for reservations, and we take this as
an indication that there are many
more people in New York who want
TO live in hotels than there are hotels
to take care OF them.
mo doubt an investigation would
show that all the better class of ho-
tells are being compelled to turn away
persons who desire to become perman-
ent guests. If this is the case, 1t may
be expected that the next few years
will witness the construction OF
