"mm N = CRUTSE STAR Bramley Sails From Boston on Hunt lor Sanken Land Boston, Feb. 12 (M—The steamer Peary safled today in quest of a “dream island” in the Pacific. On the bridge of the steamer as it sailed from Boston stood Matthew F. Bramley, wealthy Cleveland paving contractor, who planned the cruise to fulfill a dream in which he vis- ualized & sunken island off the west coast of Mexico. After the dream, Bramley made an extensive search for the island by ship and airplane. From an air- plane he finally discovered beneath the ocean a shoal resembling his “dream island.” He commissioned Captain L. B. Lockwood to find a ship suitable for experimental work to determine whether the island could be reclaimed by erection of a sea wall. The Peary, which was used by Commander Donald B. MacMillan in an expedition to the arctic in 1925 and which had been tied up at a shipyard in Chelsea since that voy- age, was recently purchased by Bramley, on Captain Lockwood's recommendation. The Peary wil make a stop at New York before heading for the Pacific by way of the Panama canal. | BRISTOL NEWS (Continued From Page 7) | tional church, conducted the services | «nd burial was in West cemetery.

For- ty letters of inquiry were receivel, and less than a dozen of these were eligible according to the ruling of the state registration board. Seven applicants were finally selected for admission to the school. Dr. J. I Woisard is giying a thorough course of lectures in anatomy and physi ogy, and likewise Dr. Mabel E. Cur- tiss in bacteriology and laboratory practice. “Through the interest of the exe- cutive committee necessary teaching | equipment was provided for the' school—a skeleton, Chase doll, ana- tomical chrits and models, also practice equipment for the class room.
