Commission Will Ask Congress for
Huge Amount.
BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Con-
gress will be requested next month
by the joint postoffice- treasury pub
Tic buildings commission to authorize
an additional $25,0O0,0OO for con-
struction of new federal buildings in
all sections of the country.
This decision just has been
reached by the four members of the
commission who are meeting daily
to complete the ALLEGATION of the
1856, 100000 which congress already
has authorized. Although this sum
will be adequate to construct new
federal buildings in more than 800
cities, such large amounts are re-
quired for some of the larger cities
that smaller towns will have to be
neglected unless more money is
forthcoming.

WAR IN NEW HAVEN

This time Yale men did not start
the war. Not even Harvard was
represented in the legion of honor.
1t was a battle between divisions of
that staid. conservative and easy
going institution of culture. Wesle-
yam, one of the points in Middle
town to which residenters point
with pride. The scrap was staged in
faraway New Haven, and in a pub
lie place, and the upshot is that the
good dean will Investigate" saving
the police min: Of trouble.
The cost Of such sanguinary en-
counters must be considerable.
Clothes cost money, and many col
lege students have trouble in con-
vincing the folks back home that
they need so much for incidentals.
Now when clothes are torn from the
backs OF students during such a
melee it is time :or parents to form
a sort of protective association.
Just imagine fellow being forced
to wander through hotel lobby
dressed only In his II. V. DIS: and
with women around. too. What a
show! What embarrassment!
We hear much in these days
about the high cost of education.
Why not pass a law preventing stu.
dents from running what they wear
in fruitless endravors to set up new
records in collegiate ferocity? We
think The Yale News. a hardwork-
ing organ in the cause Of cultural
reform. will agree with us. As long
as no Yale men were involved In
the proceedings that should be easy.
