NEW STORY SERIES
The Herald" to Print Series
of Tales by Author of "Polly-
anna"

A new series which the
Herald" has arranged for, and
which will prove enjoyable to
all who enjoy good, sparkling
stories, is a number of short
stories written by Eleanor H.
Porter, author of "Pollyanna,"
Gust David" Miss Billy" and
a bakers dozen of other books,
the total sales of which have
amounted up into the millions.
No feminine writer of stories
has a wider appeal, and from
the more than 200 short stories
which she has contributed to
magazines, it is to be deduced
that the nature of her stories
has the popular approval.
Mrs. Porter is a direct de-
scendant of Gov.William Brad
ford of the Mayf1ower and re-
presents the highest type of
wholesome American woman
hood-which is a composite of
the many fine qualities reflect
ed in her literary work.

Man to be Reckoned With
At a recent meeting of the

letter men of the basketball
squad, Clifford N. Stevens of
Island Pond, was elected cap
tain of the University of Ver-
mont basketball team. "Zip"
has played right forward on
the varsity for the last two sea-
sons and his fight and aggres-
siveness have been an inspirat-
ion to his teammates. Altho
he weighs but 1876 pounds, his
floor work has been of the hig.i
est order and combined with
his speed and accuracy, has
served to make him a most val
liable asset to the team. I'm
der his leaderhip, another
championship team seems as
sured for next year.
In addition to his basketball
laurels Stevens is a letter man
in track. He was one of Yer
mont's most consistent perform
ers in the 100 and 22O-yard
dashes last year. He was a
member of the university relay

shoe and ran two and one-halt
laps minus one shoe. He is a
member of the Kappa Sigma

To Award Contracts
Hudson River Tunnel

New York, Feb. 24-Clifford NJ.
Holland, chief engineer of the new
Hudson river vehicular tunnel, today
notified Colonel Arthur Woods, OF
the presidents conference on uncm-
ploymcnt, that the contract for the
construction of the subaqueous por-
ton OF the great roadway, which Is
to connect the States of New York
and New Jersey, beneath the Hud-
son river at New York City, will be
awarded next week by the two state
commissions.
When in full operation, this great
tunnel, to be the longest Of its kind
in the world. will give immediate
work to thousands OF men for sew
eral years to come, and indirectly to
more, all over the country.
The project calls for the largest
single contract ever undertaken by
either of the states, or by the city of
New York. The lowest bid received
was $19.300,000. Mr.. Holland writes
to Washington:
"As this work will require q great
amount of materials, including 106,-
600 tons OF finished castings, many
thousands of barrels of cement and
construction plant Of all kinds. It can
be readily seen that with the placing
of this contract q great Stimulus will
be given to industry"
