Science Building
And New DOrmitOry
For yarmouth College

Hanover, n. H., Nov. 30--(P)-
Plans for the erection of two new
buildings at Dartmouth College
were announced today by President
Ernest NJ. Hopkins. One is to be a
dorn1itory to accommodate about 100
students and will probably be erect
ed on the Hitchcock estate. Presi-
dent Hopkins emphasized that the
new building is simply to supplant
outworn structures and that it will
not provide for an increase in the
size of the undergraduate body.
The other building will house the
natural sciences of Biology. geology
botany and zoology and will provide
equipment and facilities which have
been lacking. Construction of both
will start in the spring. Work on
the new library building, recently
divulged as the gift of George F.
Baker. was begun last summer.

try of any of the changes that have
come to us in recent years outside
of the use of the automobile. A pure
water supply for domestic purposes
and for protection from fire is a
dream come true.
Now as then we have good schools
and our pupils still stand high among
those OF the State. We still have To-
cal talent for the drama and for mu-
sic and you may be sure that our en-
tertainments are worth while for we
are living up to our reputation of the
past. Within a year the American
Legion. with the determination of war
times, has erected with their own
hands a home for themselves which
is on as solid a foundation as Gibral-
ter. Our churches are the same in
rumber although the attendance is
open to question. However. we be-
lieve that our people are as God fear
ing and law abiding on the average
as in the old days. Few crimes are
committed by Winthrop citizens and
when others intrude they are soon
brought to brook for when the people
of Winthrop are aroused they do not
condone crime and they see that the
law is, enforced by the constituted
authorities. This is as it was and as
it should be.
Thus you see that we are not great
ly changed from the Winthrop you
know. Perhaps you do not see all of
your old friends, but those who have
taken thei rplaces have something of
the same character and perhaps the
same ideals. The descendants of the
old settlers still live with u.s. In fact
the blood of the first white man who
made his home on the banks of Lake
CobboSseecontee still courses through
the veins of some of our present resi-
dents. Thus you see that our Win
tErop is your Winthrop and we are
delighted that you should have come
back to our town and are glad that
some of the old scenes that were ia
miliar to you are still here to gladden.
your hearts again. We offer you a
welcome that is deeper than words.
1t Is as deep as the heart itself and
II your visit here is happy one you

happy too. We wish that you could

cannot we hope that YOU will make

how much better this was for all

The fund will be used to erect
amortization of the country's float
ing debt and is one Of the schemes
with which the government hopes to
relieve the tangled financial sltua-
ton.
The triumph of the Poincare gov
eminent by a vote of GIL to 144 came
after suspensions of the assembly
because of the obstreperous tactics
of the Communists. At one time
there were fist fights between tne
extreme Right and extreme Lett
members. The one-armed General
Pelletier, acting as sergeant
mounted the rostrum to drag down
the Community Deputy Doriot while
other Communists sang the Inter-
national.
After Deputy Doriot's expulsion and
the subsequent resumption of the sit
ting the Communists banged the desks
and shouted insulting remarks at M
De Selves, president Of the national
assembly. Thanks to the vociferous
applause of the non-Commun1st MEM
hers, NJ. De Selves finally succeeded
in having the governments sinking
fund measure voted upon. The Com
munists by singing, and then by stuff
fing the ballot boxes with extra vote
slips. caused a third suspension of the
sitting.
After the obstruction Of the Com
munists was quelled, one fact stood
out-that Frances supreme legislative
hodv had decided that the commission
which will have at it's disposal the in
come from the tobacco monopoly and
part of the proceeds of the inheritance
tax. shall be removed from all pollt1-

Emphasizing the necessity of the

the constitution, Premier Poincare
pointed out that by this action "our
creditors will find proof that we are
determined to pay all our debts In
the measure of our capacity"

required for the reading of this let

the important dates of her life, and
the testimony of Paul Scott of New
Jersey that Garland had lived with
Bettina Hovey in the April Farm
Colony in Allentown.
Then Judge c. c. Campbell grant
ed the uncontested divorce, gave
Mrs. Garland the custody of the four
small children. and secured her
promise that Garland, exponent of
simple living and free love, should
have proper opportunities to visit
them.
Garland's letter, written May &,
1926, from the Jail where he was
serving sixty day sentence for his
relations with Miss Hovey. was the
feature of the brief session. Scott
had testified that the relations be-

open and known throughout the col

Garland, now about 81, was the
son of James A. Garland and des-
cendant of the Tudor kings. Edu-
Gated at Eaton, England, st. Paups
and Harvard, he married in 1919
while freshman at college. He
later inherited sums totalling more
