Phi Delta Theta to Return
To Home of Former Years

The boys of the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity, who have for the past two
years been residing at 9 College av-
enue, will find a new home awaiting
them on their return in the fall. Or
perhaps it would be better to say an
old home remoddeled as they have
lived at College avenue during years
past.
The old house which lies between
the homes of President a. ]. Roberts
and DR.. +. H. Risley on College av-
enue. has been closed and silent since
the fall of 1921. 1t is beautiful loca-
ton for house, in fact one of the
most highly priced lots in the city but
the building that rests on this lot is
worn and rather rickety in it's joints,
il one can speak thus of house.
Before the passing of another week.
workmen will appear about the prem
ises of 81 College avenue and a
thorough renovation will take place.
The building will be painted. The in
terror of the building is in bad shape,
but paper and paint will be freely
distributed. A new heating system
Will be installed and the house lacked
up.
The house next to the fire station
was all right to live in but was too
far away from the college, in COM
parison to the other dormitories.
The old building at 81 College av-
enue has been college property for
| many years and before it was first
| used for a fraternity house, was
known as Ladies' Hall, and many of
the older women graduates of Colby
college have associations of college
days connected with the house. 1t is
! pleasing to know that the house will
be fixed up and painted as College
| avenue is one of the finest residential
streets in the city and the building
in its present condition is not at all
beneficial to the looks of the street.

Hobbs Bound Over On
Assault Charge in
Municipal Court

Harry Hobbs. the striker who was
accused OF throwing rotten eggs at
John W. Mason. a railroad employe
who did not leave his work when the
strike started. pleaded not guilty sat
urday morning at 10 o'clock when the
case 90 the State against Harry Hobbs.
charged with assault and battery, was
brought before Judge Charles Atchley
in the Waterville municipal court. The
result or the trial was that Judge
Atchley found probable cause and or
dered the prisoner to be bound over to
the September term Of the superior
court. which will meet in Augusta be-
ginning the first Tuesday of that
month. Judge Atchley ordered the
prisoner to furnish bonds in the sum
Of $1,000 for his personal appearance.
Bonds were furnished by Archie Boldic
and Harry Petite of this city. both of
whom went bonds at the time Of the
arrest of Hobbs. Thomas n. Weeks of
the firm of Perkins & Weeks appeared
for the state and James L. Boyle was
attorney for the defendant.
The first and only witness called was
John W. Mason himself. Mason testi-
fed that as he was gong to work as
usual Thursday morning between and
Z o'clock he was accosted by Hobbs.
The two men exchanged words Of a
somewhat unpleasant nature and
Hobbs withdrew few steps and took
two rotten eggs from his pocket, which
he threw at Mason. Both eggs struck
and shattered over the clothes of the
complainant. During their angry dis
cussion Mason testified that Hobbs said
that he ought to be killed. The State
rested at this point. No further e-i-
dence was offered by the defendant.
This is the first time an arrest has
been made during the present railroad
strike. The yards have been guarded
but the strikers have been peaceful
and. outside of picketing the railroad
yards and requesting the men who
come 10 work there to think it over be-
fore they become strike breakers.
there has been no evident opposition to
the railroad. IT has been rumored that
there have been other instances where
eggs have been thrown at railroad en-
ployes, but no complaint was regis
tered on that account. The strikers
themselves on the whole are sorry to
have anything of such nature happen
and they feel that much more harm
than good is done in such cases.

'One Killed, Two

plane that crashed in quagmire
near the Framingham flying field late
today, was pinned under the wreck

leased. Dr. Clarence Gamble of
Pasadena, Cal, one of The two pas

The other, Ralph X. Miller. brother
of the pilot escaped with painful cuts

The pilot was pinned in the mud by
the heavy engine, only his head
showing. His skull was fractured
and his neck broken but he lived
about 20 minutes. The fire depart
ment was called out to assist in lift
ing the machine from his body, but
early tonight he was still buried un-
der the wreckage.
Ralph Miller and DR.. Gamble were
thrown to one side as the plarc fell
and rescuers found the former on one

HARVARD GETS
| YOUNG GENIUS

Boston, July PA parallel to the
Rhodes scholarships IL seen in the
establishment, through the Associat-
ed Harvard Clubs, OF scholarships for
the coming year to send to Harvard
one boy from Argentina and one
from Mexico.
The scholarships have been made
available through the generosity of
members of the Harvard club of New
York, and they will be awarded res
pectively by the Harvard Club of
Bunos Ayres and the Harvard Club
of Mexico.
The Harvard men at BuenOs Ayres
already have selected their scholar
ship holder. One of the members
found recently in the country in the
northern part of Argentina, which
is devoted partly to sugar plantations
two young brothers of English de-
scent named Beale, one of whom was
19 years old and the other II. The
elder Beale had made a motion pic
ture camera out of crude material
that he could pick up locally and
then had made for himself project
or. 1t is said that the pictures pro-
duced We're just as good as those
shown in any cinema house in
Argentina
! The younger Beale had become in
terested in locomotives. He saw in an
English engineering magazine pic
ture of two Mogul locomotives of the
type now used in Argentina. When
he was Is years old he started out
to make the necessary machinery to
make the parts for these locomo-
tives.
He built a lathe and a small fur
| mace by which he cast and machlned
| the cylinders and the other parts.
| Now he has two working models of
Mogul locomotives, built entirely
from the pictures in the magazines,
| each six feet long, and he has made
| them run under their own power.
The elder Beale boy is to be award
ed one of the new Harvard scholar
ships, and plans to enter Harvard
thi autumn. He will probably
register in the engineering school.
The scholarship contributed to the
Harvard Club of Mexico by the AS
! sociated Harvard Clubs is described
| by the secretary of that body as
only a small token Of our apprecia :
| ton and desire to reciprocate" for the
service done by the National Unlver-
| sity Of Mexico in arranging for free
summer courses for American stu
| dents and teachers.

Want Your Hair to Curl?

Nobody needs to do without curls
in this enlightened, swift-moving day.
There are all kinds of curriers', from
rags to great iron machines, and
waving lotions and water waving.
And almost any hair on earth that is
clean and healthy and cared for can
be taught to curl at the temples by
just putting bit-such a little bit
of pomade or oil in the scalp at the
temple after you've brushed your
hair; and you'll find it not only be-
ginning to curl but to get thick as
well. The hair about the face gets
the worst of it-always-the dust
from the street, the ld-cream or
water when you clense your FACET
needs extra food if you want it
healthy.-F'rom the Delineator.
