Senior Class day chapel was held this morning in Mehairy Hall at nine o’clock. The DePauw band played several selections, a.id the seniors marched in to the Processional and immediately after tie- sang their class song. The main address wa- made by Professor Walter E. Bundy. Doctor Bundy stated that students were wondering if college really pays, and if people really believe in college. He stated also that there was a great deal of criticism of colleges abroad today, as many people do not think it pays, and the speaker -aid that it does not pay in dollars and cents, but the distinguishing thing about the colleges of today is that they are furnishing the majority of the professional men, teachers, lawyers, and doctors. The speaker stated that ditfeient people thought that they got most out of college front activith - such afootball, debating, etc., but the speaker thought that the greatest, value of college was to be found in the class room. Professor Bundy also told of the various types of teachci- that they had met and closed by -aying that ne hoped that college had been period of enlightenment, eb-\atioii and enrichment, and if it h; i not be- , a college education was a failure. After this talk Willia i Smith e ive the response for the sei -ors and then the presentation of t' /-In - v i trophy ease to be placed in the Bowman Memorial gym. President Lemuel II. Murlin accepted the gift on behalf of the University. In accordance with tradition Mi.--Mary Munger handed down the old gold gown to the vice president of tire junior class, Katherine Norinaii. After this ceremony the audience sang the DePauw T- a-t.
The community was shocked early Friday morning when it was announc- 1 ed that the Rev. D. L. \ andament had passed away ut the Methodist | Hospital in Indianapolis, where he had been for treatment for tire past month, and where he had been critically ill for the past week or more. Mr. VaJidament’s death was due to a complication of diseases and pneumonia, which developed during the lust few days of his illness. Mr. \ andament had lived in this community many years, and was widely known, because of Iris activities and his traveling over the community. He 1 represented the Indiana Farmer’s! iGuide in several counties and in this manner, became well known to practically every farmer in numerous 1 counties in this section of Indiana. Deceased is survived by the widow, three daughters, Mrs. R. E. Richards and Miss Flora Vandament of this .city and Mrs. A. A. Abbott of Indianapolis; and one son, Leslie of Chi-
cago.

WASHINGTON, June 8. (UP) — The Muscle Shoals Bui held doubtful j statu- today through failure of President Coolidge to attaeh his signature to the measure by last midnight. It wa- authoritatively stated the President believed he had killed the measure by ‘‘Pocket Veto.” Senator Norris of Nebraska, lead-j ing proponent of the bill, maintained j en the other hand that it hud become law. He plans to make a test, by inserting appropriations for conduct of the work in an appropriation bill; next session. This would throw the matter into the courts if the Government contested his action. Mine Explodes; Six Sailors Die

The program of the university commencement Sunday is of special interest to music lovers of the city and those who will be here for the commencement program. This is especially true of the afternoon and evening program. At four o’clock Sunday afternoon, the music seniors will give their annual concert in Meharry hall, and at seven o'clock in the evening, the University Choir, conducted by Dean MeCutchan, will give a program. The University Choir is perhaps tire be-t known musical organization <>f the University and has been in great demand throughout the state for concerts. They will give many of their best numbers in this farewell program of the school year and the public is cordially invited to hear them.

A remonstrance has been tiled to I stop the construction of the proposed Oscar Obeiichain free concrete road, i The petition was signed by far more than the required number, and the county auditor has sent the petition in to the State Board of Tux Commissioners and they will set a date for a hearing for it. i The proposed Oscar Obenchuin road 1 is to run from the pavement at the end of Walnut street at the railroad crossing, west to the end of Greencastle township. The petition states that the proposed road is unnecessary, and unwise, and a macadam road would serve just a- well as con-

Automobile Road Basses West Through ( harming Happy Hollow, Drunk Man's Big Joke. If the wraith of Charles Nicholas Eppinhousen were to return from where it is now living to visit Oakalla, it would be appalled by the stillness and solitariness which prevails there where, in life, he knew the noises of industry and of traffic. So quiet is the site now, on most days, that the sudden shriek of a kingfisher spearing fish in Big Walnut, close by, is nerveracking. When Mr. Eppinhousen knew it, his home was alongside the main line of the Big Four from Indianapolis to St. Louis, and the screaming whistles of fast trains were not as disturbing as the unexpected clamor of the birds is
now.
But about 1906 the Big Four built on a new location, north of Big Walnut creek, and pulled its track steel from the old line farther west than the Ohio & Indiana quarry, so that Oakalla and Fern Station, yet west of Oakalla, were left to die. A contest to compel the railroad to maintain a track to Oaka'la was filed in court, but was not availing. The abandoned roadbed is in ex-i-tcnce through to lyciia, and where it ha.- not been fenced olf by land•iivtii i s, it forms an admirable automobile road. It is by means of it ti’.at Oakalla's site is now reached. Ovor it, it is an easy matter to visit the ruins of the old lime kilns, to riew a beautiful little lake in the iii-nth of one of the quarries, and to s<-iin views of very attractive reachs ot Big Walnut creek. There is a den-e growth of shrubbery along the road and the trees over-reach in places in which there are nests, and, 1 it the Spring, Mowers of certain spe ci»- l-loom in luxuriance. The house farthest west along the better sec lien of this highway is the* former L'ppinhousen home. Near it i» a turni* roc. in I place for autos, so that the narrowness of the track up to that point need not worry the nervous
iirive r.
While Oakalla was dependent upon the railroad for its very life, the connection was far from parasitical. D paid its own way, many times. It had three stone quarries, three lime kiln., and brick yards. From these, u very large tonnage went out to Indiana and Illinois markets. The stone was used in crushed form for railroad ballast and highways, and in block form for building construction. The linn- wa . rated very high for both mortar and whitewash and kindred preparation.-. The Big Four railroad was completed through here in 1870, and the. opciing of Oakalla's industries followed that date, so that it was active not much more than a quarter i f a
century.
( harlt-s N. Eppinhousen early came I lorn Terre Haute to open hi.- quarry. James A. Curtis and Henry H. Ilillis, brothers-in-law, went down there and opened a quarry and lime 1 kiln, and a brick yard. James Torr dso entered the stone and lime business, being succeeded by hi- sou Jos- | eph I). Torr, with whom S. A. Hays of ; Greenca-tle was associated later, in I the Oakalla Stone and Lime Com ; pa.iy. Joseph C. Baker of Greencas1*0, also had interests there, and John MeFarlane was superintendent of one of the plants for some years. B-i.-t raster Hartley of Greencaatle, wa- al.-o one of the well known bus-inc.-s men of that community. Much of the Oakalla building stone went into Greenca-tle structure- So that, | everything considered, the two place-, were well linked.
Fern Station
Fern Station is also pa.-se as a result of the removal of the Big Four. Its site is several miles west of that of Oakalla, but the unbridged waters of Big Walnut run across the route between the two points, and the old roadbed cannot be followed from one I to the other, by automobile. But. westward from Fern Station, the old rightofway forms a splendid bu.-e for an auto road, and the sightseer, by following it, is led through the three miles or more of Happy Hollow. Happy Hollow, which is remini.cent of Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow, presents a panoramic view of charming bits of scenery— not startling at all, but very restful to the eyes of the jaded town folks who drive along its road. There was it murder within its border, once, but
