Yale To Dedicate
 Sterling Buildings
Issue Invitations for October 3-Dean Clark to Give M Address of Welcome

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 28-- invitations have been issued for the dedication of the Sterling Law buildings of Yale university, which will take place Saturday. October 3. Plans for the dedication were announced today by President James Rowland Angell.
 The exercises, which will be held in the Auditorium of the buildings at Il o'clock in the morning, will be opened with an address of well come by Professor Charles B. Clark, dean of the Yale school of law. Judge Thomas W. Swan, of the United States circuit court of appeals, and fellow of the Yale corporation, will speak on The Yale Law School" The keys to the buildings will be presented by George H. Church, of New York city, trustee of the estate of John w. Sterling, Yale 1864, and will be accepted on behalf of the univer- sity by President Angell. William Dewitt Mitchell, attorney general of the United States, will give an address on Legal Education and the Law" Benediction will be pro- nounced by the Reverend William Adams Brown, fellow of the Yale corporation. The buildings will be open for inspection during the af- ternoon.
 The Sterling law buildings, de- signed by James Gamble Rogers, of New York city, were made pos- sible by a gift from the bequest left to Yale university by MT Ster- ling. Work commenced in August, 1929, and the entire structure was fully completed in less than two years.
 The law buildings, which cover an entire block, are modelled on the idea of the English Inns of Court. Comprising both dormitor- ies, class rooms and offices, they are located on the block bounded by High, Wall, York, and Grove streets. Ito the south, across Wall street and connected by an under ground passage, is the Sterling Memorial library. To the west the hall of graduate studies is being built, and the new Payne Whitney gymnasium is a block away. The law school building is along High street, with the main entrance on Wall street. Other entrances are on both Grove and High streets. The dormitories complete the quadrangle.
 In the center of the law group is a low. two-story structure contain ing six furnished suites (study, bed room, and bath) for visiting pro- fessors. This building is so arrang-

passed. There have been instances observed in which advantage has been wrongly taken of the situa- ton; able bodied people have taken charity without earnestly trying to get work. Some register in employment bureaus as a ges- tire and have ready excuses for not accepting work when offered. Those able to work, who are re- ceiving charitable help, should be carefully checked by social work CTS to learn If real effort is being made to get employment.

than at present. Manufacturers have usually carried this principle as far as possible. putting two men on half time instead of one on full time and one laid off. They un- derstand fully that two on full time make better buying power than one on full time. To illus trate this, one plant in northern Connecticut had 2,700 workers last March, and in August, with
 business considerably fallen. still had 2,679 on its payroll; another in eastern Connecticut had 1000 employees last March and the same in August, though orders were not coming in nearly so well. A manu-
 facturer in the western part of the state had 217 in March and 209 in

and August.
 Another very effective thing that has been done in this state was shown in the work in the state forests last winter and spring. This work decreased fire hazards, caused fence posts and lumber to be made from the poorer trees which were removed to improve the better ones and extend their life; 400 to 500 men were given employment in the forests and the state is a fortunate beneficiary There is obvious need for more of such work and it is hoped that state funds will be made available for it.

August. Of course this mainten- ance of employment was not en- tirely due to rotation or spread ing; some was caused by pro- ducing for stock when seasonal business could be reasonably pre- dicted.
 Using May as basis, June man hours, with 193 manufacturing plants reporting, fell to 97 per cent, July to 84.5 per cent and August to 79.4 per cent. Probably a sub- stantial per cent of the factory lay offs obtained employment on out side work in parks. temporary construction work, farms and va- cation resorts.
