Annual Income of
BOwdOin College Shows
Remarkable Increase
(Spccial to Kennebec Journal)

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Brunswick, Me-. March 3-The an
nual income of Bowdoin college has
increased in the last % years from
$4,000 to $2S5,000. according to a
statement made this morning by
President Kenneth C. NJ. Sills of
Bowdoin in the series of talks which
he has been giving on the college at
the Wednesday morning chapel eX-
ercises
The larger part of the increase has
come in recent years. The total in
come of the college in 1918 was
$13S,000. The amount spent for in
struction has also risen by leaps and
bounds. In 1900 only $4,000 was
spent for instruction, in 1918 $4,000,
and in 1925, 100000. This is an in
creased expenditure for obstruction
of 100000 in the last rs years.
Other departments have shown SINH
lar increases although the resources
of the college have been used in the
main to increase and improve the
teaching staff
President Stills states that the total
endowment of the college is now
about four and a quarter millions.
This does not include the estimated
value of the college buildings and
equipment, which is put at about
three million dollars. The total value
of the plant is much more than that,
as in this figure the value of the COL
lege campus and grounds is set at
one dollar.
An ANALYSIS has recently been made
of the Bowdoin dollar showing where
it comes from and for what it is ex-
pended. This analysis showed,
among other things, that one-half of
all the income of the college goes to
instruction. 1t also shows that the
undergraduates pay only % cents of
every dollar received by the college.
This means that for every dollar
paid to the college by az Bowdoin
undergraduate the college spends an
additional two dollars and a half.

Hours During Day

Paris, March 3.-(AP)-Paris felt
the heavy hand of prohibition for
two hours this afternoon and prof.

drink, the cafes and bars having
obeyed the orders of the merchant
syndicate to close down in protest
against the financial measures insti-
tuted by parliament, retroactive taxes
and the taxing of city tradespeople
more heavily than the former.
The general strike occasioned a
good deal of bitterness on the part
of those accustomed to taking liquor,
and had the closure of the cafes last
ed an hour longer Paris might have
seen it's frs crop of bootleggers.
"Say, do you know a good boot
logger near here" many Americans
asked, jestingly, when even the
American owned bars refused to
serve drinks.

What makes a dry cell work? It's
the chemical action of moist
paste on a zinc cup in the pres

will flow as long as the zinc and

This wearing out process begins
slowly when the cell is new, even
when not in use. When hooked
up it runs out steadily. You get
