also served on the faculty of Cor
nell University, Ithaca, N. Y., and

tion in 1899.

New Ambulance
FAIRBANKS, (/P) — Fairbanks,
without an ambulance for five
years, had a shiny new one—but
it can’t be used until a $5,000 bal

out the down payment on the new
vehicle nad a Legionnaire drove
it from Cincinnati. As soon as the
rest of the cost is subscribed the
ambulance will be turned over to
the city.
From the first response, *he Lo
gion doesn’t think it will be long.
