COLLEGE BUYS

On Tuesday, May "a. the Board
Of Visitors and Governors of ST.
Johns College and the representa-.

college property. President Carey
In speaking of the purchase said
that it was the most forward step
that the college had taken in a
number of years.
The price of the building was
$4,000 which includes all furni-
ture now in the house that belongs
to Carvel Hall and heating to be
provided for 10 years to come
The board decided to buy the Brics

HOUSE BUILT IN 1740
The Brice House was built in.

tect, as a wedding present to his
daughter who married James Brice

the time when 1t may rest upon its
oars in the matter of highway build
ing is far, far in the future the
statement quotes Thos. p. Henry,
president of the national motoring
agency. Our progress in road
building has been remarkable. But,
If the fine promise Of the auto.
mobile for even further strengthen
ing the economic fabric of America
is to be realized fully. we must
make even more remarkable pro-
gress.
Development Still Needed
The millions of motor tourists are
peculiarly susceptible to the temp
tation to regard the present road
mileage as ample if they limit their
travel TO the more progressive sec
tons OF the country. the A. A. "A,
points out. On this subject, Mr..
Henry says:
1T Is true that, in greater or
smaller degree, a vast majority of
Americas %, 600, 900 motor car own
ers go in for touring. This driving,
in the main. is confined to the best
mileage of the more than 5000 900
miles of highway that exist in the
United States. Because OF this fact,
the motorist is likely to Judge the
whole highway system by that part
of it over which he travels.
1t is the old story of judging the
box of Strawberries by the large,
luscious fruit on the top. Just as
the berry buyer regrets his plir.

shelf outside. The gem of the
house is the great, fine mantel and
fireplace in the large ball room on
the main floor.
In buying the Brice House the
administration had two plans in
view; to make ST. Johns the fore

and to provide a dignified and i'm.
pressive living quarters for the
faculty in order to attract and keep
the best possible group of men at
st. Johns as teachers.

chase when HIS error is discovered,
so the motor car owner eventually
win bemoan his bad judgment if he
assumes the national highway
system to be perfect because his
touring has been confined to the
best o fthe roads. 1t is 4 mental
trap into which one easily may fan
unless one is wary Of the danger of
its presence. :, ~
America has enormous floor
space and tremendous resources in
the important matters of finance

statement continues. Thus, II saYs,

STIRRING MEL0DRAMA SHOWING AT LIBERTY

That melodrama as play form has not lost it's hold on public fav- or was evidenced last night at the Liberty theatre when enthusiastic audience expressed it's unanimous ap- proval of the Universal-Film de France production presented by Carl Laemmle, the first picturization of Jules Vernes famous book and play Michael Strogoff."
 From the opening scenes when the "Czar of all Russia" entrusts to the hero, his :" secret courier" Q nes- sage to the Czar's brother, the Grand Duke, beleagured at the head of the army in Siberia, 5000 miles away. to the very end of that perilous journey in a rousing climax, the audi. ence were deeply expressed in the mishaps and triumphs, the perils and daring hero, ably enacted by Ivan Moskine, referred to in the program as '"Europe's Screen Idol" %
 And, indeed, there was plenty to rivet the attention on the screen. The Grand ball at the palace of the Czar 1 reveals some of the splendor of that l regal court, and as the sequence is ln color, the effect is one of magnifi- l ,ence Color is further employed in scenes of unusual brilliance at the ,ented camp of the Grand Dukes 'nemy, the Grand Kahn of Tartary.

a reasonable return on the invest
