MARYLAND SENIOR ADVISED ON FUTURE University Class Hears An- nual Sermon—=Gets Di- plomas Tomorrow. Special Dispatch to The Star. COLLEGE PARK, Md, Today was class day at the University of Maryla Tomorrow the commencement exer- cises wil be held. with Gov. Albert C. Ritchie delivering the address. The ex- ercises will take place in Ritchie Gym- nasium at 11 o'clock. Yesterday in celivcring the baccalau- reate sermon, the Rev. G. Warfield Hobbs, executive secretary of the Na- ticnal Council of the Episcopal Church of New York City, made a plea to the seniors “to build you personality in terms of God's blueprints.” His sub- Ject was “The Road Forward.” “Aristocracy” Honored. In the course cf his sermon Rev. Hobbs honored the “aristocracy of the class,” these who were ambitious and eager to live, and whose program of life was marked with vision and a plan of existence.” “Hunger fcr success,” he said, “is a worthy thing and it is well that university groduates should go forth into the world with the fire of purpcse behind them to urge them to greater efforts snd higher ideals of citizenship. What the youth of our cclleges needs today is a symbol to strive for—an ideal, or else these years of education will have been pitifully wasted. Life should be built upon the fragments gleaned thus far from texts and theses. Studiousness and correct interpretation of succcss are necessary adiuncts fo existence.” Dr. Hobbs quoted his text from the Book of Esther in the words, “And who knoweth whether thou are come to the kingdom at this time?" intimating to the graduates that their labors had but begun and_that they should meet life with an element of daring, taking chances rather than attempting to seek the safer places. “Fling out the door and turn upside down a world that needs upsetting to escape the material istic vulgarity that is oppressing it,” he urged. “Work for The seniors were told “to believe fomething—m-=ke something your ideal: search out the root of this pessimism in the bearts and tongues cf leaders threughout the land. Challerge this de- pression and refute it. There is no safety for you today. I am glad of it You will step into unrest and revolu- tion. You will ned your daring.” To those unc n"of their missicn and destination, Dr. Hobbs would give a blueprint or a pa‘tern by which they could shape their destiny and happi- ness in the days to come. “Citizenship in the fincst sense of the word should be the aim of every college graduate,” he_declared Dr. H-bbs has a background of 25 years of journalism. He was at one time mancging ed: of the Philadelphia Public Ledger end from 1916 to 1923 was editor of the Beltimore Sunday Sun. At present he is editor of the Spirit of Missions znd the Church at Werk. The program yesterday was opened by President Ravmond A. Pearson with an introductory talk, which was followed by the invocation. Following this, the choir sang an anthem and a selecticn from the Scriptures was read by Dr. A. F. Woods. former president of the university. The exercise was concluded by a prayer and bencdiction delivered by Rev. Ronalds Taylor of College Park.

V. Alexander, | first lord of the admiralty, today ufld‘ a meeting at Folkestone that he some- times has “misgivings” about disarma- ment. “After all, it is nearly 17 years since the World War began and nearly 13 since the armistice, and Europe 15 still largely an armed camp,” he declared Mr. Alexander expressed the belief that Greet Britain had contributed more than any other nation toward world disarmament. “Unless we can remove from the minds and hearts of nations hate and fear of one another and suspicion of motives, we might destroy all our armies and navies and yet not destroy {war. For with all developments of science and the tremendous mechanism of modern industrialism we could go to the greatest war in history within a short time by harnessing modern in- dustrialism to the chariot of war.” CURTIS WILBUR NAMED CONSTITUTION SPEAKER Judge Will Deliver Principal Ad- dress at Reconditioning Ceremony July 1. | Secretary of Navy Adams has chosen his predecessor.

MONDAY, JU but the requirements are more strict for IXE 8, 1931. FFECTVE LY 15 Regulations Drafted by Plan- | ning Commission for Prince Georges. BY GEORGE PORTER, S$ta@ Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., June 8.—The | butlding ccde for Prince Georges County | authorized by the last Legislature has | been drafted and approved by the Maryland-National Capital Park and | Planning Commission and will go into effect about July 15. | The new code is 78 pages in length | and similar, although somewhat simpler, to the codes in force in Washington and suburban districts of Montgomery County. Confermity in the building regulations of the entire metropolitan | area has long been sought and is finally | achieved through the new Prince | Georges code. | Outstanding features of the code, ac- cording to Irving C. Root, chief engi- neer of the commission, are definite regulations covering the thickness o: walls and other items that will assure | afety of construction and adequate fire protection. The code also sets up a particular | type of censtruction for public build- | house more than 300 afe in one class and those with a capacity of 1,200 or more in another class. A higher type of construction will be required in commercial zones, under the new code, the commission aiming to | make all structures in areas of this sort as fire-resisting as possible. One of the chief benefits of the new code, Engineer Root says, will be the protection afforded purchasers of homes, | who will in the future know the prop- erty they are buying meets certain specifications. At present purchasers have no assurance of the type of con- struction that goes into the homes of the county. A building Inspector, who will make periodic examinations during the period of ccnstruction, is called for under the law authorizing the building code and will be appointed soon by the commis- | sion. A fee of $1 per $1,000 will be made for this service, the minimum charge being $1. The building inspector will be paid entirely from the fees received. Based on the figures of the past two years, the | income from the fees would only be about $1,000, according to T. Howard Duckett, member of the commission. This estimate has somewhat upset the commission’s plans, for it was intended to have a full-time building inspector.
