Expanding Colleges

By 1850 American colleges and
universities will need additional
space equivalent to 1873 Empire
State buildings and several billion
dollars to pay for it, which is where
the taxpayers come in.
That is the present outlook for
higher education as reported by the
U. S. office of education. The re-
port, dealing with college and uni
versity building needs, is based on

EASIER METAL DRILLING

A d. writes: Drilling a hole IN
heavy metal was always a difficult
chore until I found the easier way.
First centerpunch the hole, then
bore until the drill fails to take hold,
then centerpunch again, and repeat
until the hole is through. This
method will take one-tenth the time
usually required. I also use a dia-
mond-shaped centerpunch instead
of the ordinary type, which makes
the drill cut faster. 1t also helps
very much with iron o. steel to use
a little turpentine, as it seems 10
soften the metal"
Note by I. w. P.-These are very
good suggestions, but it is even more
important to keep the drill point
sharp with the proper angle and lip
clearance. If you do not know how
TO do this, get some mechanic friend
to show you. Most mechanics drin
cast iron dry and shake or blow out
the chips frequently.

Note by I. w. D.-Makes a good
looking job. The easiest way to cut
a heavy storage tank like this is 10
use a cape-chisel or a heavy cold
chisel ground square on the end and
strike with a heavy hammer. This
cuts out a narro ribbon of metal
and makes a smoother job than cut
ting with an ordinary chisel.

 Other suggestions called for added athletic events for out door interest; track and field events were suggested. It was agreed that more evening &C., tivity should be planned so that fair crowds can be held at the grounds for longer periods of time.
 Publicity built around Mata- nuska Valleys outSize vegetables was pointed out as an excellent advertising medium. Added dis plays were requested - green house exhibits and a competi- tive exhibit of farm butter, eggs and cheese were named as eS- sential parts of coming fairs.
 Outdoor displays of vegetables for the benefit of camera fans were suggested. A competitive exhibition of color slides was recommended for next years fair. Contests for students in craftWork and handWork were suggested as means of adding interest in this phase of fair work.
 The need for fair souvenirs was discussed. One suggestion was that fair-goers be given or sold a tiny packet of flower seeds as a souvenir.
 Better qualified judges, select ed far in advance of the fair and given adequate instruction by a competent but disintereSted per

 At the conclusion of the eve- ming, MT. Irwin asked fair board members for suggestions. M. D. SnodgrasS stated that he be- lieved a queen contest would add interest to the sale of car tickets at future fairs. Mir. Snodgrass again deplored the lack of civic interest in the fair, except as a means of financing individual enterprises.
 "The fair board will cooperate with the whole Valley all the rest of the year, but for the three days of the fair we want, and we must have, the Wholehearted CO., operation of every civic and fra ternal organization in the Val ley he stated.
 It was the final suggestion of the fair board, that committees be named to put recommended changes into action. These com mitteeS are to be announced at the next fair board meeting, and will be expected to work out their specific problems before the January stockholders meet ing.

p. 4. B. Widener il,
Noted Sportsman,
dies Of Heart AiIment
BY the Assoeiofed Press


PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-Peter
A. B. Widener II, millionaire fancier
of show dogs and race horses, is
dead at So.
He died of heart ailment yes
terday in Lankenau Hospital after
long illness. He had entered the
hospital about three weeks ago after
having undergone treatment In
Maine and Florida.
The sportsman and philanthropist
was the son of the late Joseph E
Widener, multimillionaire art col
lector and race track owner, and
the grandson of P. A. B. Widener
financier and transit magnate.
The world-famous Widener art
collection, which has been valued
up to $50, 100000 is now in the Ma
tional Art Gallery in Washington
and Peter Widener presented the
collection to the gallery.
Mr.. Widener took an early inter-
est in dogs. He began with German
police dogs, with his Dolf becoming
a many-times champion.
Switched to Racing.
He later switched to horse racing
his fathers favorite diversion. His
father had been principal owner OF
both the Hialeah track in Miami
and Belmont Park in New York.
In 1e43, not long after his fathers
death, Mr.. Widener bought Elmen-

long illness.
MI. Toone was a native of Wash
ington. AS boy, he was taught to
throw his voice" by an old stage
trouper who lived near his former
home at Abb Macarthur boulevard
NV. At 18 he began his stage
career.
Funny incidents often resulted
from Mr.. Tones ability to make
things talk" On one occasion dur
ing World War I, while he was serv-
ing at Fort Meade, Md, Mr.. Toone
caused snickers in an inspection line
when "a voice" informed the cap
tain he was bowlegged. A soldier
who had opened his mouth at just
the wrong moment was put in the
guardhouse for the comment.
Mr.. Toone later confessed and was
substituted. That night, however,
no one got much sleep. They were
busy looking for crying baby"
Known to Thousands of Soldiers.
Afterward the authorities de-
cided it would be easier on every
one if Mr.. Toone resumed his role
as entertainer on the stage. He
and his dummy, Scrappy, who slept
under his bunk each night, became
known to thousands of soldiers at
the camp during 1917 and 1918.
For more than 80 years Mr.
Toone toured the country doing
stage performances. He met and
knew Edgar Bergen in New York
before he became well known.
Mr.. Toone was married in 1920
His wife was also ventriloquist
and they played the Keith circuit
together with an act called Leon
and Leona, Yachting Party Re-
view. With them were their dunn
mics, Tommy, Rastus, Tootles' and
Scrappy. In 1882 Scrappy was the
mascot of the American Legion
Post, No. 26, in Philadelphia.
Developed Bronchitis.
Mr.. Tones last show was In
Boston in 1887. He developed chonic
bronchitis and asthma which ended
his stage career as a ventriloqulst.
Mrs. Toone believes his condition
was brought on by the strain ven-
triloquism put on his lungs.
Mr.. Toone was noted in the field
of ventriloquism for being able to
throw his voice long distances. His
family recalls the time he stood on
the street at Fourteenth and New
York avenue NV. and called
