It is understood here that the na- tionally allied college fraternities will use . this survey and other recent findings, to formulate a defensive campaign against the increasing criticism of fraternities.

Montre, cut off from home by the storm, found his way to a deserted shack. Ashland, Wis., has had no word of the tug Butterfield, which left Port Arthur, Ontario, Sunday with a barge in tow for Ashland. The Butterfield, however, may have found shelter along the Canadian shore. Temperatures throughout the Mid- west were moderately cold, the weather mostly cloudy, with rain or snow a general prediction. Bootleg Pncel Eclipsed.

They in- clude curvatures in plan and eieva- tion, uneven distances between col- umns, deviations from parallel lines and right angles, floors that slope slightly, columns not quite the same size around, asymetry of apparently symetrical features, leaning facades, piers and columns, and deviations in windows and arches. These features that characterize the handmade from the machine-made building are found in Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic structures and even in some early Renaissance churches, Mr. Frr)hman» declared.
