Madison, Wis., Aug. 25:, - Work on
the Memorial Union building at the
University of Wisconsin may begin
next fall or in the early spring, ac-
cording to the executive committee
which has been conducting a cam-
paign for funds for the construction
of the building. Pledges and sub-
scriptions totalling $484,000 have al-
ready been received and the commit-
tee expects to pass the hilf million
mark in a few weeks.
Plans are now being made for the
erection of the building in units so
that construction may not be delay-
ed. The committee has decided to
continue the campaign with the view
to increasing the total to $1,000,000 in
order that Wisconsin may have as fine
a Union building as any in the coun-
try. The campaign will probably be
resumed in the fall of 1921.
Only abouthalf of the students sub-
scribed to the campaign which was
conducted in 1920, and a large propor-
tion of the alumni have not yet con-
tributed. The committee therefore
believes $500,000 more can be raised.
GARY EXPECTS TO
MEET PRICE CUTS

Tulsa, Okla., Aug. 25.-Gold bullion
amounting to one-third of $10,000,000,-
000 is now stored in the vaults of the
United States treasury, the largest
amount that has ever been held by a
single country in the world's history
and equalliig a third of the wealth
of the whole world, according to Prof.
A. E. Fisher, of the University of
Oklahoma. The amount is steadily
growing as the countries of Europe
gradually pay off their debts.
Football Star Taken for Forgery
Ralph D. Capron, formed University
of Minnesota football star, and .B.
Veedler, who has been representing
himself as an oil operator, were ar-
rested in Long Beach, Calif., for de-
frauding banks through worthless
checks. Capron was at one time a
professional baseball player in Pitts-
burgh and Philadelphia.

New York, Aug. 25.'- Judge El-
bert H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation, announced
Wednesday that the corporation would
meet price cuts in sheet and tin
plates instituted by independents.
He issued the following statement:
"When the subsidiaries of the Steel
corporation ascertain to a certainty
that large and important indepen'd-
ents, so-called, are selling at prices
materially lower than those which
have been heretofore announced,'our
subsidiaries meet the new prices. They
do not precipitate or lead in establish-
ing lower prices for they are aware
that the prices which have prevailed
for some time past are lower than
the actual cost of production by
mast, if not all, the producers."
ALL-CAMPUS ASSEMBLY
TO OPEN FALL PROGRAM
(Continued from Page One)
ly as early as possible on the Univer-
sity calendar with this aim in view.
Monday, Sept. 26, will be the night
before the official opening of the fall
term and most of the students will
be able to attend at that time, it is
thought.
Arrangements have been made at the
office of Registrar Arthur G. Hall to
distribute short notices to students
with the registration blanks. It is
planned to notify the 'men and women
in every possible way, both at the
registrar s and treasurer's offices, in
order to insure as large an attendance
at the assembly as possible.

per, made its appearance here Wednes-

the editors. Mrs. K. C. Mul, an Ober-
lin co-ed, set all the type by hand from
a 15-foot case, which contains an ab-
breviated alphabet of only 4,000 char-
acters, instead of the entire 40,000.

MAY NOT USE U. S. SHIP
FOR BOMBING AS PLANNED
Washington, Aug. 25. - The an-
ticipation of the Army Air Service
of having the old U. S. S. Alabama
for bombing tests may be shattered in
view of economies now being effected
by the Navy. Unofficial estimates of
the costs of fitting the battleship for
the tests in accordance with Army re-
quests run from $200,000 to $1,000,-
000.
Army fliers asked the Navy to have
the Alabama put in first-class sea-
going shape and possibly equipped
with radio control. The Army staff
is now understood to be estimating
whether the War department can fi-

Buy now for Fall as most all of these suits are
