MELVIN J. ARNOLD IS .
 DROWNED D AT LAKEVILLE
Was Connected With Federal Service at Melrose
 Highlands |.

The first drowning of the season happened at Lakeville on Sunday afternoon, when Melvin Joseph Ar hold lost his life in the waters of Lakeville Lake. Arnold went out canoeing against the advice of MT, Tln1mins who rents boats at the lake, as the water 'Sas exceedingly rough. Only.a shore time after he had been out the ca,oe capsiZed at q place called Perch Rocks. He chlng t. the overturned canoe for a time and before aid arr.ved went down and has not been seen since.
 Fearing that an accident would happen to. the canoe, MT. Tinnins kept a close watch of the craft and immediately when he saw i5 overturn rushed to the assistance of Arnold. He arrived too late, for though 1t IS said Arnold was a good swimmer, it is thought the icy water so shocked him that it numbed his sensesH
 Arnold's, home was in Rockville, N. H., and immediately after the accident word was sent to his father. He was connected with the Federal Department of Agriculture at Mel rose Highlands, Mass. With four others they were looking, for the egg clusters of the Gypsy moth. They had been stopping at the Wononsco House. They had finished their work in the vicinity of Lakeville and were to leave town on Monday.
 Since the accident occurred sew eral parties have been dragging the lake in an effort to locate the body. To date they have been unsuccessful, due in measure to the rough water, which makes the work exceedingly hazardous.

A further proof and guarantee
Of good times Is that the building
boom, which has been 30 phenom-
enally developed during several
months past, still continues and
promises TO last throughout the
winter. There has been practical
ly no seasonal decline such Al

cations are that In this particular
branch of work the record already
established during 1922 will be
equaled or even exceeded In 1928.
Another and Hnal test LIS found
in the automobile industry. Man

THE COME BACK CLUB

In the stress and excitement OF
the battle field many acts Of brav-
cry an dherOism are performed
When the soldiers come home,
however, the band plays, the lead
ing citizen declaims his record,
and he is forthwith forgotten.
Nothing more out Of the ordinary
Is expected of him. Indeed, rather
less is expected, If one is to Judge
by the difficulty with which the
veterans of the Great War secure
jobs. The soldier is relegated to
the vast and hopeless army Of
has beens.
But the same spirit that won
medals and citations in France Is
still alive and working. The Come
Back club OF Columbia University
bears witness. This club is COM
posed entirely Of disabled veterans
who have been placed in the Uni
versity by the United States Vet
erans' Bureau. They were all ten
per cent under pre-war physical
efficiency when they entered.
Now one Of them plays on the Col
umbia football team, and another
is coaching football at Springfield
College and others have made
good athletic records. They are
not there to play or to draw a
pension; they are real students.
At the close Of the last academic
year only 6 out Of $50 failed to
pass all their courses. This Is a
record that very few groups of
students Of this size anywhere can
equal. One of the veteran grad
yates is teaching psychology In
the University Of Nebraska. An
other student during his sopho-
more year wrote a book Of poems
which won the Knepf prize.
All honor to the. soldiers who
have proved so gloriously that
they can come back.

WORK rs KNOWLED0E

Some Of the aristocratic insti
tutions Of learning in the Eas
have lately been considering thu
fellow who works his way
through college, with a slightly
sneering frown.
Commend us to the method al
Antioch College. Yellow Springs,
Ohio. The Eve hundred boys and
girls there are equally exclusive.
You can't go to Antioch unless you
do work. Five weeks Of labor and
Ave weeks Of study-that's the
program laid down for themselves
by the students.
Bvery freshman has his ex-
pense budget audited by a faculty
member, and he Is put In touch
with the sort Of work that he
wants, and that will make enough
to see him through. Some stu
dents have arrived at Antioch with
800, and no prospects Of any
more coming except through their
own enOrtS.
But that didn't mean they were
cut by the Greeks and snubbed by
the co-eds. Everybody at Anti
och is working and studying.
Which reminds us to say that
whether at Antioch or right here
at home, that's what we all ought
to be doing-carpenters, insur-
ance men. grocers, bankers and
teachers-studying along with
our work, and working along
with our study. Education Is just
fairly started when a man or wo-
nan leaves college. Students at |
are fairly on the way to

Leaders Are Confident.

Cinnatl, o., June 19-Rail union
and mine workers union chief here
today approached their conference
on joint strike action with conf
dence that It would develop practi-
cal measures of cooperative action
helpful to both groups.
While Bert NJ jewell head of the
rail union executive board, and John
L. Lewis, miners chief, declined to
discuss specific measures that may
be adopted, both said there were
number of practical things that
could be done"
The first formal conference will
occur Tuesday night. It will be fol-
lowed by public statement, which,
It was predicted today, will leave
no doubt as to the intention of the
to "go through with the strike II
the 100000 workers affected by
wage cuts vote for 1t.
The rail leaders last night formal
ynotified the labor board that the
recent wage decisions were unsatis-
factory, and that union sanction
would be given the strike il the men
voted for it.
Leaders, discussing the situation,
said the workers are being driven
to cooperative action In self-deiense,
declared the striking coal miners
would never compromise, and said
the rail workers have now no alter
native "but to fight" The miners
and rail workers together are
Fighting for all of organized labor"
Lewis said, "and their joint action
will have a tremendous moral effect
in stopping the drive against organ
lied labor"
