FIRST SkYSCRAPER PLANNED IN SWEDEN
Will Be 1ypically Modern Amer.
 iCan Structure

Stock holm, Nov. 12 LP - X 40- story American skyscraper of steel and concrete, containing apartments,
 restaurants and theater, is to
 rise above the ancient churches and castles Of Stockholm. An ideal , location near the waters edge has
 been found and the enterprise will
 get under way in the near future,
 under plans Of Thor Toernblad, i Swedish civil engineer.
 Opposition has risen against the project in some quarters. Albert Lil'enbcrg, city plan director, is one who looks askance at the idea,
 contending that the proposed sky scraper will strike a discordant note in the general building scheme of Stockholm and that its height will smother the charm of many famous edifices and palaces. The erection Of the skyscraper, ! however, is not considered an in- superable task, even in nation
 with no tall buildings. Stockholm
 will shortly open an ultra fashion
 able hotel. laid out on modern
 American lines Every room will
 have it's private bath, and there will be large swimming pool. one side of which will be transformed
 into miniature beach with arti- i ticially heated sand. A ball room and a sun bath on the roof are , other features. One hotel on tho
 American style, the Carlton, has just been opened.

Shaft Is Memorial to Member Of
 Famous Party

Chicago, Nov. 1c R>-In Lincoln Park stands a monument over the grave of the last survivor of the Boston tea party, who carried his tea dumping convictions so far as to drop the "T" from his own name.
 The thin white shaft also con- memorates rebellious family spirit. which opposed the British in the Revolutionary war and op- posed the commissioners of Lin- coln Park when they would have removed the grave from the park.
 "kenniston" was the family name before the dumping of tea in Boston Harbor. "kennison" it be- came the day after the historic party.
 The Kennisons migrated west ward to Chicago, where C. E. Ken rison, he who dropped the "T', died and was buried in cemetery which was later to become a part of Lincoln Park.
 When Lincoln Park was planned most of the graves were moved, but not that of Kennison. The courts upheld the family in its re- fusal to permit removal.
 To make the burial plot worthy of the park the lonely granite shaft was raised, on which was in- scrbed ITO the memory of C. E. I<ennison twithout the n the last survivor of the Boston Tea Party"

 Five weeks after the freshmen en- ter the sophomores return to their Alma Mater showing the usual "af- lection" for the freshmen. This is shown fin several ways. They have many inter-class competitions. One of the activities that was always put on was a tug -of-war across an oozy old brook. But within the last year the brook has been strengthened out and sort of cleaned up. So that the powers that be just wouldn't stand having their little creek riled up this year.
 The flag rush is another game they put on. This takes place around a flag pole. A flag is fast cned to the top of the pole and the sophomore gather around the bot tom to guard it, Then the freshmen try and get it." The sophs wish to help them all they can, so they cover the pole with dobs of grease. They reduce their wearing apparel 10 q pair of gym trunks, and not to be outdone by the flag pole they apply some more grease. Thus resembling q gathering of channel swimmers. The freshmen have three minutes to get the flag. After some great generalship and q minute and a half, the unexpected happen ed. The flag was theirs. The re ward for getting the flag is that they can go hatIeso and disregard the freshmen rules. So the caps and rules were put away with due cerc- mony and moth balls.
 He went or to tell of the student organization there. There is one in which all the fellows are urged to take part. They get together for social times, and other activities and are asked To become acquainted with the professors. The students are divided into small groups. Each group is under q faculty adviser who helps in any way that he can.
 Mir Weyh spoke about the plan by which the boys are helped to work their way through school. After the first year, students who wish can get employment. He goes 10 school for five weeks and works for five weeks. Tho work which he gets is along the lines which he is study irg. This not only gives him a chance 10 earn money. but also gives him practical experience.
