Hanley. himself ablaze. smothered the flames about his face and and then with a shovel beat out the flames at his feet. A sudden roaring overhead attracted his attention, and the hay-loft above the stable burst into flames. His wife, hearing the explosion and seeing the flames, ordered the children to dress, and then rushed to the barn and helped release 30 of the 38 head of cattle from the burning building.

The barn o.uickly filled with dense smoke and Hanley, realizing that saving the rst was impossible smashed a window at the rear of the stable and climbed through. The Underhill fire department was called, it being nearest. The alarm was telephoned from the home of Mrs. Nellie Brigham. The Underhill men responded at once, but were unable to save the barn They kept the fire from spreading to the house, although an ice house near the main dwelling caught several times.

When the danger appeared to be over, and the Underhill men left, Chief Davis as an added precaution loaned an extra hand-extinguisher to the Hanleys. House Threatened Later a shift in the wind made him uneasy and he returned at about 10:30 a. m. to discover that fire had somehow crept under the woodshed sills and was threaten ing the house.

They are largely utilitarian and therapeutic. That is, Mason makes them to use and because he gets a kick out of doing it. Althougn Mason has been mag-ing things out of cement for more than 15 years, and has made such varied articles as a 4-foot high cement lawn plant, a 6-foot cabinet for a grandfather's clock, a dining room table, ships models, lawn seats and magazine racks, never until now did he think to make a boat out of cement. Mason refers to his boat as a skiff although its weight is 125 pounds, and its length nine feet. Its sides and bottom are three-auarter inches thick.

The boat has a round bottom and locks for oars and is kept afloat by air chambers consisting of four oil cans, each or two-ganon size. "Perhaps small boats have been made of cement Mason said, "but I have never heard of one, although I believe cement barges are not uncommon. I have tried out my boat and find it very satisfactory for rowing and fishing purposes. I believe it will stand anything a similar boat made of wood will. I have filled it with water and still it would not sink, Middlebury Students Favor Wendell Wilkie Special to the Free Press MIDDLEBURY, Oct.

Conscription and military training at Middlebury college also won the approval of the students, but conscription of industry by the government was voted against. In the men's college the trend was two to one supporting Willkie, with all four classes following the ratio, and piling up 219 votes for him against 103 for Roosevelt. Tabulations for the women's college showed greater majorities for the Republican candidate in all classes and totaled to 234 votes for and 53 for Roosevelt.

R. Akers are attending a ministerial confer ence in Boston. The local teachers attended a TO for 1 5 v'" 1- being upheld by the air cham bers." Making things out of cement is Mason's hobby at which he spends all his spare moments. In his cellar he has rigged up a work shop where he has carried out his experiments and developed a method of casting things in ce ment sothat they will be durable and comparatively light. It's Simple, He Says The process," he explained, is simple and inexpensive.

I make a mold in sand by impressing in to it whatever object, or part of object, I want to reproduce. I then pour liquid cement into the mold. A considerable period is re quired for drying after which the article is painted or decorated as desired. For some things I use pure cement and for others I mix cement with sand in certain proportions. In making the boat I used 85 pounds of cement.

Because I have developed a method of casting some things hollow, they can be made comparatively light in weight and yet they do not break as easily as one might expect." Besides the articles already enumerated, Mason has made out of cement such things as a sun dial, bird bath, lamp vases, book ends, door stops, wall plaques, building models, ash trays and numerous other small objects for household use. He has not commercialized his hobby, making most of the things for the fun of it and either keeping them or giving them as gifts.

First campus notice of the campaign was the Cynic's editorial favoring WUlkie.

On Tuesday of next week, the opposing groups will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on tha subject of presidential candidates at a political rally to be held in the gym. Full plans for the rally have not been released j'et by the International Relations Club, but it is probable various students will hs asked to mount the speaker's platform and address those assembled for the rally.
