Don't be Satis- fled to stay where you are, he ada ed. If you like the business, he concluded, live it, and if you live it you'll reap the harvest.

Seminary Professor to Address Supper Club
HARVARD SUING FOR S1,5OO,OOO
Left to Providence, But Harvard Claims It Be-
 longs to College

Providence, R. l., Dec. 4.-(UP)-- A claim, brought by Harvard Col lege for the $1,5oO,OoO estate left in 1900 by Charles H. Smith to the City of Providence, was on file to- day in the city clerks office.
 Counsel for Harvard yesterday filed claim upon the city council, contending the city had failed to live up to terms of the bequest. The claim probably will be referred to the council claims committee.
 The college also claimed $345,- 430.86 income from the estate, $225,. 900 of which was paid the city yes- terday, and asked per cent interest on this income.
 The bequest provided that the more than $100,000 annual income from the estate should be used for the purchase and planting of trees, plants, vines. shrubs, bulbs or seedE at Roger Williams Park"
 Harvard contended most of the income since it was turned over to the city three years ago had been used for labor, fertilizer, posts, tools, greenhouse supplies and la- Dor" and other things not author lzed by the will.
