FULLY EQUIPPED Washington Youths to ‘Rough It’ at Camp Letts, Near Annapolis. Daniel Boone and other hardy woods- men of frontier days would get the shock of their lives if they were ‘to inspect the modernized log cabins, with all modern improvements, planned for their youthful admirers at Camp Letts, the Y. M. C. A. woodland retreat for local boys on the Rhode River, near Annapolis. At first glimpse from outside, the new cabins constructed of rough-hewn | lofi! like those of the early settlers, will be not at all unlike those used by thg great bear hunter and his asso- clates long ago. But inside the build- ings will be scarcely recognizable as cabins. ‘These frontier cabins will have elec- tric lights, running water and lavatory facilities, sewer connections, screened front porches and beds with comfort- able springs. ‘Washington boys are going to “camp” in this de luxe style upon completion of an extensive improvement program just adopted by-the camp committee of the Y. M. C. A. Plans for the development have been drawn by Col. P. M. Ander- son, chairman of the committee, and work will be started as soon as prac* ticable. The program calls for erection of 30 cottages in all, not all of them of the log-cabin type, however. There will be a group of huts of Spanish.design and a group of colonial type. Each group form a distinct unit and each will have a separate recreational building. Location of the new buildings was se- lected the past week during a visit to the camp of Y. M. C. A. officials. The boys now live in tent-houses. Each cottage will accommodate 12 campers and a senior and junior coun- selor. The latter are staff leaders re- trul]:ed from university and high school ranks. ‘The plans also include installation of a new sewage disposal system, erection of a bulkhead to protect the campus from inroads of the water, and filling in behind the bulkheads so as to level and enlarge the athletic fleld. The camp embraces 217 acres of a E‘n sula within sight of Chesapeake y. It is supervised by a committee com] d of Col. Anderson, W. M. Guthrie and L. A. Snead. James C. Ingram is director.

CLEVELAND, June 28 —Richard Ingliss of Otis & Co., Clevzland, woday denied that the formation of a $250,- 000,000 insurance holding company is under consideration at Nashville, Tenn., by Rogers Caldwell, president of an in- vestment firm that carries his name, and William R. Daly of Cleveland, one of Ingliss’ associates. “While Otis & Co. and ourselves have ~had some discussion on insurance mat- ters, no details pertaining to the forma- tion of a holding corporation have been worked out,” Mr. Caldwell said. He said he had been conferring for the past day or two with Mr. Daly, but refused to say whether the discussions were concerned with the formation of a holding company. “All reports with reference to the or- ganization of the holding corporation are premature and inaccurate,” Mr. Caldwell said.

If a governor's salary be gauged by the number of those he governs, Gov. Theodore Christianson of Minnesota can now ask for a raise. For Minnesota, with 17 years’ handi- cap in settlement, 12 years’ handicap in Statehood, now outnumbers Iowa for the first time in census history. ‘There are now 2,558,265 Minnesotans. There are 2468748 Iowans. Gov Christianson of Minnesota gets a $7,000 salary. Gov. John Hammil of Iowa gets $7,500. For many years after Towa becamc a State in 1846, her stock in the census went up like the hand of a native sing- ing, “That's Where the Tall Corn Grows!” She leaped from twenty- ninth State in 1840 to a proud tenth place in 1890, a position which she held for 20 years. Then Iowa had a population slump and between 1900 and 1910 showed a 3 per cent decrease ‘Whereupon, Minnesota, the wheat State, settled in 1805, admitted in 1858, put out a few beards indicating in- creasing age and fell to flourishing with a right good will. She jumped from twenty-sixth spot in 1880 to seven- teenth in 1920, just behind Iowa, which had been jogged down to sixteenth by then. During the next 10 years, Min- nesota was forging to the front. Her biggest city, Minneapolis, 1930 population, 464,674, 8 22 per cent in- crease, passed up her closest rival, New Orleans, La., population, 451,624; increase, 16.5 per cent. Towa's 1930 population fell 89,518 short of the Minnesota mark. “ Semi-Annual Sale HI J & M have earned their reputa- tion as Shoemakers 14.50—15.00—18.00 grades Now 1285 ($22.50 Bench-Made Models, $17.85) Plen;yi of Sly dg:“(%[,i“le 'l'llleJ eh;:n'- 607 13tk Street 6 to 12 | (Between F& G Streets) |Front Door Sizes Winter Can Be Comfortable ‘as Summer if You Install This Guaranteed Hot-Water Plant American Radiator Product e An minimum . use installation for 6-roont house as low as 325 .

June 28--A | new agreement which will bring about | a closer affillation between Yale Uni- versity and the Bishop Museum of Hon- olulu was announced today by Presi- | dent James Rowland Angell of Yale, | “To bring about the closer relationship, President Angell said, it has been agreed that the director of the museum be a member of the Yale graduate | school faculty assigned to duty in Ha- | wall, and that each year the museum will send to Yale a visiting professor to sive instruction and direct research in the problems of the Pacific area. A standing committee of the grad- uate school will undertake o supervise the resear:h program of the museum, to correlate this with the activities of the scientific departments of Yale and to plan and direct the work of the vis- iting professor. ~Fellowships will be awarded annually to students who are qualified to engage in research in Ha- wail under the direction of the museum. The Bernise P. Bishop Museum has given much attention in the past to the native races of the Pacific and studies entered upon by the museum and Yale have led to the discovery of ruins of great antiquity in the Mariana Islands, between Hawail and the Philippines. These are believed to indicate a van- ished civilization comparable to that df the ancient mainland. Prof. Herbert E. Gregory, '96. is director of the mu- seum at present.
