Sinclair Lewis may be expected at
any moment to ego out and bite
q dog" the Yale Daily News said
today in an editorial entitled His
Own Press Agent"
Sinclair Lewis, 1907, rapidly is
becoming our most notorious writer,
If not our BEST" said the News.
Judging by the publicity his antics
have received lately, one might say
he had an irrespressable fondness
for the front page. At any minute
now we expect him to go out and
bite a dog.
THE episode last Saturday in the
Sterling library was even more
wonderful than his recent face-slap-
ping tiff with Dresser"
Lewis charges he offered the Yale
library the permanent loan" of his
Nobel medal, but that the univer-
sity officials were uninterested.

SHORT SESSION OF
 SCHOOL BOARD
Committee of the Whole to Handle Erection of Ruild- ing at Fairlawn
TO RUSH THE WORK

There was not much noise at the meeting of the department of edu- cation yesterday afternoon. but Il good deal was accomplished, not the least of which was the complete ig- nOring of the school house commit tee and turning the work of plan ming and erecting a school build ing at Fairlawn Manor over to q committee of the whole, the vote being passed on motion of Commits sioner Butler without debate, nor q dissenting voice. John J. Walsh, president of the board and chair man of the schoolhouse committee. Commissioner Scuily another mem Der, were present but made no pro- test. The other member of the com mittee. Judge Harry J. Bcardsley. was absent. This disposes of the school house committee and puts the whole matter, including the ap- poiDtment of an architect. in the hands of all the members, which is probably the way 1t ought to be. To be sure, all matters recommended by the committee, have to come be- fore the full board. so that what was done might look like an arbitrary way of doing business, nevertheless, seeing that the work of the commit tee was not in accord with major fly of the members. evidently 1t was the intention to push the committee aside and get down 10 business with more dispatch. In fact, MT Scully suggested something of this sort at previous meeting.
 meeting was announced to take place In the office of the superIn- tendent after the regular session, hut the school house committee members did not attend.
 The only business transacted at the private session which was at tended by Commissioners Butler, Dochclli. Freedman. Miller and Dem- Ing, was tho paaasae of Il resolution employing James J. Scholar to pre- pare plans for q nine-room school house at Fairlawn, and to receive bids for the buildings on the lot on Monday afternoon, March 1G. MT Scholar K q veteran of the World war and has an honorable discharge from the service He has had con- siderab ble experience as architect of many buildings.
 A communication was received from J. c. Kelsey of Highland ave- nue. suggesting that some of tho un- employed men be put to work scrubbing and repairing the interior of school buildings. This was re- fcrred to the school house commit tee with power to act.

 In regard 10 the annulment of marriage, Father Tehan explained the action of the Roman Rota, the church court. which he said is com posed of "ten men, the highest in legal talent both in civic and can- non law, and of unimpeachablc char actcr."
 "SO Compromise"
 Father Tehan said "in the church there iS no such thing as compro- mise or divorce. Sometimes the church finds after thorough in- vestigation that marriage was not really n marriage, as in the case of the Duke of Marlborough when the daughter of nn American multi-mil- lionaire said she was forced into the marriage. Then the church declares that there was no real marriage and therefore both parties are free to take marriage vows. But in case 1t finds that there has been real marriage and there vas no cause for separation the church declares the marriage is real and indissolubleI"
 Father Tehan Is q native of this city and graduate of Crosby high.
