increases occurred in new awards for
concrete pavements, magazine adver-
Using and sales by ten-cent store
chains, while declines were registered

will compete in a dual debate this
evening with the negative teams of
each institution meeting their OPP
ponents away from home. This is
the first debate which Colby has held

from their last debate which was with
Middlebury the victory by a unani-
bate is: Resolved that Congress
Should Pass Uniform Marriage and
Divorce Laws. (Constitutionality
Waived)." The Colby affirmative
team which will debate in the college

the following men: Cecil F. Foots '2S
Holyoke, Mass; William A. Garaabe-
dian '26 of Cambridge, Mass; and
Charles p. Nelson '2S Of Augusta.
Nelson is one of the finest speakers
in college and should be the mainstay
of the affirmative team.

wood, Mass, Charles F. Abbott '2S,
of Franklin, Mass; ami Lawrence A.
Peakes '28 of West Newton, Mass.
will constitute the negative team
which will journey to the University

outstanding man on that team. This
debate is on a question which is OF
unusual interest as its timeliness is
apparent and the possibility of the
, passage of such laws by the con-
gres of the United States is known.
