1t was encouraging to note in the list OF
appropriations that will be taken care OF
by the bond issue that was approved 80
Fundamentally by both branches OF the
Legislature last week a siZcable item for
Connecticut State College. TO those who
know the story Of this institution moth
Ing could have come az a more distinct
pleasure. 1t has been years since such
recognition has been given the school in
this fashion. In fact we can't recall that
ever has Connecticut granted 80 large an
amount TO be used in building up It's state
college.
The story OF what Is needed at Storrs Is
an old one now. But nothing ever will,
In our estimation, make up for the Splen-
did work that the faculty and directors
Of the institution have done in the past
few years when conditions became 30 try
ing. Not only have the physical proper
ties OF the college been outmoded and out
grown, but 1t has been almost impossible
TO maintain the proper standards which
would enable graduates in the various
branches OF studies TO secure necessary
recognition 80 that employment would
become available TO them.
With million dollars available, and
we sincerely trust that no mishap will
hold It up, immense strides can be made
by Connecticut State College In the next
few years. Not only will proper facilities
be provided for the close to one thousand
students now attending the school, but

Five important new laws became oper-
alive in Great Britain with the arrival OF
1897. The first, the Public Order Act, is
aimed directly at Sir Oswald Mosely and
his black-shirted fascists. 1t was passed
by both houses of parliament In record
time and forbids political uniforms and
semi-military organizations. 1t Is hoped
that Mosely's followers, deprived Of every
thing but the soap box forum, will rapidly
lose interest In the fascist movement.
Second is the Housing Act which de-
fines and prohibits overcrowding. The
provisions Of this law were laid down in
1885. They are now merely being ex-
tended In application. BY July / they
will apply to all but SO towns and districts
in the country. Two industrial acts reg
ulate the hours Of factory workers and
the employment OF minors.
The fifth Is motor law which was
enacted in 1881, but allowed five years
grace TO cars then on the road. 1t requires
that all automobiles, old or new, be
equipped with safety glass. 1t Is esti-
mated that almost 100000 old cars will
be strapped by owners who don't want TIC
put into them the money necessary TO
fulfill the law. The effect Of these laws
are likely TO be great and far-reaching.

Saving the Galapagos

1t is we'll that the government OF Ecua-

of the Galapagos islands. Hereafter all
yachts calling at the islands must obtain
permits from Ecuadorean consular Off

must offer proof OF their standing before
they will be allowed TO collect specimens

taken Is limited and payment of SIS for
each Is required.
These are the islands about which Will
liam Beebe has written, after extensive
explorations and study. Darwin explored
them in 1858. They have been of great
interest to many naturalists because much
of the life there is rare. Many species
