Damage Is Estimated At About One
Thousand Dollars

nesday afternoon quite badly dam
aged the dormitory at Parker COL
Iege. The roof on the west side was
badly burned, and there is consid
cradle water damage. While the
cause of the fire is unknown, it is
thought to have been due to de-
fective electric wiring. The damage
by fire and water is estimated at
about one thousand dollars.
The, fire could have been extin-
guished with the chemical engine,
but the engine exploded, throwing
the chemical far and wide. No one
was injured The loss on the dor
mitory was fully covered by insur-
ance. Repairs will no doubt be
started at once on the building.
The students did splendid work
with a bucket brigade, and saved
the dormitory much damage.

She rapped on the table as she affirmed; T am not here to speak England; l did that for one month in America. l am here to speak of America and I can do so with as much pride and confidence as to her greatness as spoke Of England's greatness in America"
 In the course of a reference to the American press, Viseountess Astor said:
 We can rejoice when we read the American press, not the personal press, which Is a curse to any coun- try. One reads newspapers for news, true news and facts.
 The Associated Press of America Is a shining light in the country be- cause it tries to put true European news before the people. Melville E, Stone and the gentlemen who helped him to build up The Associated Press deserve and will get the gratitude of the world. True international news is what we need to know, and I was much struck with good European news in the American press"

LADY NANCY ASTOR
 WELCOMED HOME
First Woman Member of Par Iiament Praises American
 Newspapers
By Associated Press

London, June 12-Viscountess As- tor was hailed "A jolly good fellow' by gathering of 400 at a dinner given today by the English Speaking Union to accord the first woman to take her seat as a member of the House of Commons a welcome home after her American tour.
 Mrs Wintringham, who shares the hcnors of feminine representation in Parliament with the Virginian, united with Lord Lee of Fareham, in saying nice things about the guest of hon or,s work in Parliament and the mission she performed recently in America.
 The English Speaking Union is the only Anglo-American fellowship so- ciety which admits women to mem bership, and they were present in force to hear the two women com moners on the first occasion they have spoken from the same table.
 AIIudes to Confidence
 Viscountess Astor was attired in a lemon -colored gown with green gir- dle, with two ropes of pearls around her neck. In characteristic fashion she sermonized, admonished and joked for an hour. In her perora- tion she alluded to the Washington conference, saying:
 America had a chance to build the greatest navy in the world; she gave 1t up with as much grace as the greatest navy in the world gave up its long reign of the seas"
 When she resumed her seat the audience to a man-and woman stood and sang spiritedIy For She's a Jolly Good Fellow"
 Viscountess Astor twitted Mrs. Wintringham good naturedly for not being a coalition member but dis claimed any feeling of jealousy over the latter's election, depriving her of the honor of being the only woman in the mother of parliaments. Both

and gave an example of why this should be brought about. He declared that he received statistics from the Jefferson county juvenile court to the effect that last year there were 1,069 delinquent juveniles in this county, and only six of the delin- quents attended Sunday school. He said that closing baseball, picture shows and anything else that op- erated for profit on Sunday should be closed and that excellent results would be obtained.
 Friend of Labor
 Labor was the next problem brought up by the speaker, declaring that throughout his career as a pub lie servant he has always been a staunch friend of labor. He said that he advocated labor and believed that they should be given square deal in every transaction.
 Colonel Graves then closed his speech by an urgent appeal to the people to aid In lowering taxes, bet tering education facilities and every other existing condition, by sending as their executive. "a man who would not be afraid to see that these things were accomplished"
