 Altogether. the trustees face the difficult problem of raising, if It can be done, total sum of almost $6,000,0O0 to promote properly the enterprise in their charge, an i'm mensely valuable one for our state and for the nation. The college thus far has had a remarkable sue cess, considering the relative slen- derness of it's means. the inevitable vicissitudes of beginnings, and the fact that its endowment support was received from relative few. whose generosity has been impress sive and in many instances self sacrificing to an unusual degree. It is already among the leading women's colleges of the United States, having established splendid ideals and traditions. It's presi- dent. Katherine Blunt, has the confidence and admiration of the American educational world.

WORTHY OF AID
tliartford Tlincs)

In an admirably prepared and illustrated pamphlet, "Connecticut College in the Years Ahead" the trustees of that institution have sent from New London a most ap- pealing story of its progress and accomplishments until the present time and clear statement of It's sharp need of increased endow- ment to maintain its purposes and reasonable plans for the near fu- ture.
 For increase of scholarships, so that students at Connecticut may have the proportion of benefit in this respect enjoyed by other standard women's colleges, funds of $1,612,000 are sought. To provide for a child development course with proper housing and curriculum, such as, for example. is enjoyed at Vassar Columbia, and the University of Chicago. $254,OO0 will be needed. New dormitory units are imperative. Their cost is approximately $250.- 900 each A good new gymnasium should be built which an endow- ment fund of $300.000 would make possible. The college lacks q suitable auditorium with seating capacity of 1,500. and adequate for assembly room, theater or chapel. The department of music and fine arts Is now cramped for physical room and facility. Faculty hous- ing Is now insufficient. A $76.000 observatory should be provided. There Is great want for an addi- tional science building and for q larger college hospital.

"The whole bad situation in the coal industry has been characterized by a failure to take the rights of labor or the in- terests of the public into consid- eration. Generally, the industry has had a policy of greed--a purely in- dividulistic attitupde in which re- serves and human beings have been wasted in the effort to get all that could be got out of 1t.

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
ITO YOUTH

(By Bert CoOksIcy fin The New York Timcs) Do you will and go where you will. Be cruel Or compassionate ignorant or wise. Still you remain the one essential fuel That life needs for his flaming wizardries, Be arrogant only fools be, Cocksure and ruthless. boosting as a prince. Still you remain the honeyed savory Life needs within its cup of lime and quince. Beauty Is yours, passion Is yours. and you The rain and seed for life's etepnal dust. All Arpif's glory is your own. and through Your magic our old metals cannot rust Do as you will and go where you will, iife's sure Contract with God is in your Ggnatura.

Steamship companies are quick to reeog- nize the need of cutting their rates. Thirty six ships are now available with much lower rates in effect. They range from 10 to 30 per cent reductions for first class. In the third class they are B per cent. Never before in shipping history have such splen- did cruises and ocean voyages been available than just at present and at extremely at- tractive prices for those who have the ready cash.

TRIsECTION AT LAST?
(New Haven Times.)


 It comes as rather a shock to realize that a college professor has just achieved solution of a problem in geometry which has puzzled mathematicians down through the ages. We are accustomed to think ing of the last half century as the golden age of scientific develop ment. Yet the foundations of arithmetic and geometry were laid centuries ago.
 Father Callahan of Duquesne university is not the first to claim that he trisected the angle. This baffling endeavor of the geometri- clans has occupied many fine minds for some centuries and 1t has fooled many into thinking they have done the trick. The prob- ability that any one claimant has reached a solution is extremely small.
 But Father Callahan is a mathe- matician of high repute. He must know the history of the problem and of its pitfalls. He believes that he has worked out a new method, dependent on the
  construction of geometrical fig ure not hitherto treated. This ele- ment of originality in his treat ment of the subject, combined with his reputed proficiency. is favor able to the possibility that he has succeeded.
 Mathematics Is. progressing study. It affords fresh discov overies from time to time. Einstein's ap- plications of non Euclidean con cepts in quite recent years remind us to keep an open mind to new claims affecting supposed insol- uble problems.
 If Father Callahan should turn out really to have succeeded, his formula should have practical value in application to divers sorts of useful calculations. It's value would presumably exceed that of a solution of that famous but sterile problem, the squaring of the circle.

New York-From Tarrytown- -on . the Hudson there comes a tale as told by Will Hays to someone and by someone to me.
 Hays and a party of well-knowns had been cruising in Roy Howard s palatial yacht and had put ashore just off Tarrytown so that Count von Luckner, writer and hero of many a high adventure, could catch a train into New York. The count was in a hurry, since he had 10 meet his wife and rush off to a dinner affair.
 Hays, the high chleftain of nov iedom, agreed to act as & courier and commander in automobile. It was a Sunday and long line of cars stood waiting in line on the highway near the anchorage spot.
 Hays put his foot on the run ming board of the first car he came to. He trust friendly hand to the driver and explained:
 "Tm Will Hays" Wherewith the driver looked slightly stunned. And wonder if you've heard cf Count von Luckner."
 The driver had.
 Well, 1t would be a great favor. if you would drive Count von Luckner to the railway station. Would you mind?"
 still daZed, the driver nodded. Meanwhile, other members of the yachting party had arrived and had started some rapid-fire joshing. Von Luckner started to get into the car, followed by a barrage of raillery.
 Don't let him fool you. that isn't Von Luckner."
 The persifage failed. The driver tossed out his chest, appeared 10 recognize face or two and, efforts to delay him failing, drove off. A few minutes later. Won Luck ner noticed that the depot had been i passed. The hospital ble Tarry- towners was speeding down the | highway.
 Pardon me-" said the hero of 1 a thousand adventures, but you're not taking me to the station" q know it," retorted his host T'm going to drive you into New York. It isn't every day l get a chance to do favor for gents like | you"
 ] Suppose" he asked, 1T the i boys back there were right; that I didn't happen to be Won Luckner at aIl?"
 "Ill take the chance .' and so the car proceeded 10 the very gangplank of Von Luckner's ship He invited his beaming chance ac- l quaintance to come on board.
 You'll have to excuse me-" the sea-rover explained, "but l have to dress for dinner. So has my wife. Meanwhile, If you choose you can make yourself at home or the boat"
 When Count and Mrs vOn Luck ner came out in dinner attire, the hospitable Tarrytowner was beam ing all over the place. You know" he hestitated | there's only one thing the matter with this. If I go home and tell the wife that I've been out chum- ming with Will Hays and Roy Howard and Count von Luckner she won't believe me. She'll say I've been out at speakeasy or something. Could you give me something to prove it to the wife and the boys up the river? They'll
