The building program embraces: A new unit for the power plant, three times" as big as the present structure, costing $384,000. ' Journalism Represented. A new building for the college of education costing 600,000, and a new one for thecollego of journalism and commerce, Costing $480,000. " The two collegerf'.now' are widely distributed throughout the campus, making for Inefficiency, ?it is said. A:new'general hospital to cost $850,OOO.r -It would dispense with the $25,000 ! annual expense for medical students, now paid as rental to two local hospitals, and would give infinitely better service and training to medical students, Steeb declared. ' An agricultural epgineering building to cosf $369,000 also to be of use to mechanical engineers. An automobile engineering laboratory building to cost $80,000; a wireleas laboratory, $40,000; horse barn, $47,000; dairy cattle building. $85,- ' OCO; chemistry building, $275,000, and recitation aad administration building, $740.Q00S. The" Hew administration building would, displace the present University hall. which would be used solely for recitations. The chemistry building wrnld be aiuaddition to Robinson hall. The building to house animals would bo plaoed across the Obantangy river, and 'other land to be added to the campus for the expansion work would cost i $50,000. t .University Growth Delayed. Secretary Steeb pointed out that the university has not grown physically, for two years because of war condition and r, the uncertainty of building prices and general conditions. Before the war according to Steeb, at least, one new building and sometimes ;4 wo, were added to the university at an annual average cost of $180,000, The present university plant was intended for an enrollment of between 4,500 and 5,000 students, which will be half of classes there within the next one. or two years, Steeb thinks. The uniyersity budget calls for $140,000, to be paid for; newly created, or to-be-created positions,. . between, 40 and 50, and to pay.salary increases,; forj. those , meriting .them.

Who's Who in the Day's News
SEN. JOSEPH I. FRANCE. Senator Joseph I. France, of Maryland, stepped into prominence in the
discussion of the deportation of Lud-
wig C. A. K. Martens, Russian soviet ambassador, by objecting to the governments' action
on the ground that the U. S. will s u ff e r a huge loss in foreign trade if the ambassador is forced to leave. Martens' superiors ordered him to cancel millions of dollars worth of
orders for
kinds of supplies, machinery, etc., for which Russia had con
tracted in
country, should the deportation order stand. Senator France went to the national Republican convention last summer as Maryland's favorite son. He went also as the friend of light wines and beer. A declaration for reconsideration of the prohibition amendment was one of the plants in his platform. In the senate, the senator from

eh. France,
A wild ride through the night, officers of the law chasing fleeing bandits, a miniatuVe battle, and on man left -by his companions to die, is the tale incorporated in a leUer received by Sheriff Clem Carr recently. The writer tells of a supposed "cache" of
M0 stolen cars, and asks permission to
come search for his "flivver," which was among them. According to the letter, the man had heard that a group of automobile thieves recently , was chased out of this city by the police. While they were driving away at a furious rate, the letter says, one of the group "was hit by a bullet from the pursuing of-
all fleers. As be was apparently fatally
wounded, and his companions being In no mood for delay at that particular time, the wounded robber was tossed over the side of the car and left to
this I die. The rest made their escape.
The wounded robber recovered. He told strange tales of the activities of the group. He even told of a hiding place several miles from this city where, he said, 40 stolen cars had been secreted. That was the tale told in the letter. The writer, who lives in Brookville, then went on to ask if he would be permitted to search among this lot of stolen cars for his own machine,
with the hope that his car would be

FRIENDS CONTINUE . BUDGET DISCUSSION Discussion of the financial budgets of the boards of the Five years meet
ing of Friends, started by the board !
of the meeting Thursday night was continued at the session Friday moaning, held in the South Eighth Street
! Friends church.
Prof. Allen D. Hole, chairman of the board, said Friday that the board hopes to end the sessions Friday night. Approximate figures of the total amount of the combined budgets have not been announced. The reason for this was given by Mr. Hole. "Even after we agree upon the amounts for each board, it does not indicate that the sum is completely settled upon. We act more nearly in the capacity of an advisory board, and the. year's budget for any board of the Five years meeting, depends upon whether it is satisfactory to the yearly meetings. Each yearly meeting will take action, upon the budgets recommended before it actually becomes the definite budget for the year. Announcement of the combined amount, to be the goal for the united financial campaign of the Forward movement during 1921, will not be made public until yearly meetings of the Five years meeting takes .action." Every yearly meeting in the Five years meeting was represented, directly or indirectly, at the board meeting Friday morning. Between 25 and 30 persons were preesnt. Fixing of the date, July 22, 1921 to August 1, 1921, for the next meeting of the Young Friends board, was one of the main closing features of the Young Friends board meeting, held here Wednesday and Thursday.
