Unidentified SHIP
THOUGHT TO Be LOST
Believed to Have Gone
Down in Raging Gale
Off Hoquiam, Wash.

Hoquiam, Wash, Nov. 9 RD-An
unidentified ship. presumably a fish
ing craft, was believed by coast
guardsmen to have been swallowed
up today by raging sea in Grays
Harbor Bar, near here.
The ship. obviously In distress,
was sighted shortly after midnigh hit,
battling a fifty to sixty mile gale
and enormous seas. just outside the
harbor. A coast guard boat put out
to her aid but returned two hours
later and reported that no trace Of
the vessel could be found.
After learning that the distressed
vessel had sent up a flare the coast
guard boat started out again. but
those aboard expressed the belief
that only a large ship could have
wiupstood the heavy pounding Of the
SUI.
The channel entrance to Grays
Harbor is deep enough to swallow
fair sized ship. Fishing craft in
this district generally are Of the size
which carry three to twelve men.
Another vessel, the trolling boat
Bessie K, was reported to have been
swept out to open sea OF Astoria.
Ore, with her captain Elmo Jarvin
and another man aboard.

P. 0. RECEIPTS gain
DURING PAST YEAR
Slight Increase Reflects
Stability in Business
Conditions
BY GEORGE H. MANNING


washington Correspondent, N b. Herald)
Washington. d. c.. Nov. 9-Postal
receipts in New Britain for the fis-
cal year ended June so. 1928, were
s405,64s.46. This was an increase as
compared with the figures for 1927.
when they totalled $403.614.34.
In view Of the belief Of many
economic experts that postal re-
ceipts furnish . fairly accurate in
dex to the business conditions pre-
vailing In particular localities, the
announcement Of the figures Is an
nually awaited with much interest.
Bridgeport's receipts were SS91.-
951 In 1926. t98l.o95 in 1927. and
$1,036.7S9 the year just ended.
Those for Meriden were $329.o66 in
1926. $326.25s In 1927 and s332.-
S74 In 1928. New London's totalled
s177,777 In 1926. and t1S0.o77 and
$1S6,9S5 for the two succeeding
years.
The statistics for the state as a
whole are not available yet. They
cannot be made public until the re-
port CT the postmaster general for
the entire year is given out. Figures
for individual cities were furnished
by the post Office department, how
ever, when they were compiled.
These figures covered not only
the last two fiscal years, but gave
l..
in 1925. In that year the city's pos
tai receipts were t391.444.47.
These figures are compiled by the
department as a basis for comput-
ing the necessary appropriations to
be sought from congress. The tables
given in the postmaster generals
report are those for the calendar
gear. the basis of calculation for
salaries, etc. in the department.

Mrs. Peabody said that ten million

dunn on the 18th amendment Tho
voters have declared they want
more. not less, prohibition, more
rot less, enforcement Of the 18th

"Mr. Hoover and the republican
party have received mandate on
this amendment. He has been
elected to the presidency because the
people believe he will give them the
full measure of enforcement. 1t
was not the tariff. nor the farm issue
nor prosperity. but the menace Of
the return Of the old saloon which
led millions OF women who had
never voted to cast their first ballot
for Herbert Hoover. 1t was the fear
Of this menace which made hum
dreds OF thousands of other women
forsake for the time being their
party allegiance to vote for the man
with whom they believe this amend

The women OF the country know
that the election Of Gov. Smith
would mean disaster to the cause TO
which SO many have given their

SURGICAL Dressings

Hospital May Open Station
Nearer Center of
City

The possibility of the New Britain
General hospital opening a down.
town agency for the convenience Of
women who make bandages and sur
gical dressings is being discussed by
officials Of the institution. For years
women's organizations of the various
churches have met weekly at the
hospital and have made dressings.
The total dressings made. while
amounting to substantial saving to
the hospital. has been but a small
portion of the total amount needed.
The inconvenient location of the
hospital In many cases. 1t is felt,
has kept women away who might
otherwise drop In at their own con-
venience for an hour or two of work.
If . downtown location were pro-
yided, hospital officials believe, the
number OF volunteer workers would
increase considerably.
Several places are under con-
sideration. DR.. 7. Eben Reeks, su-

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 9 P>-A
100000 gift to Harvard Univer-
sity from an anonymous donor is
soon to make possible establishment
of the first of a contemplated group
of small colleges into which Harvard
soved if the experiment proves sue
cessful.
U. S. Adaptation
The systemswill be an American
adaptation of that in vogue at Ok
ford and Cambridge and is techni-
cally known as ''vertical' organ

In practice 1t will seek to bring
together a cross section of under
graduates in a common house or
college which will be a social unit.
The students at the college" will be
chosen irrespective Of class division,
field of study or any other arbi-
trary distinction.
The present organization Of the
Undergraduate body into four under
graduate classes is what is known
in the education world as horizon
tall"
1t was said at Harvard that if the
experiment proved practical more
such units would follow as soon as
funds were available. Successful
operation, 1t was predicted, might
revolutionize the organization of the
university and set model for SINH
lar changes in other American insti-
tutions of higher learning.
President A. Lawrence Lowell an
nounced the gift late yesterday. The
present fund will be used to build
and endow a group of dormitories,
dining halls and common rooms to
accommodate from 200 to 800 stu
dents.

the existing system of four under
graduate classes into collection Of
