On the south aide of Observatory hill, nestled among a clump of trees is a little brown house that is passed every day by hundreds of students who perhaps never give it second thought. But there is really an interesting little story connected with it.

Watsons Solar Observatory was erected about 45 years ago by Prof. Watson who came to Wisconsin university to experiment on a current discovery of a new planet. It was in his honor that Washburn Observatory was built. It that the rays of the sun were so intense that observations had to be made from a dug-out or some obscure place. The, sight at the foot of the south side il Observatory hill was chosen and a cellar 25 fee deep was dug and cemented.

The little brown house was built over it. Professor Watson set up bis apparatus and just when things were in shape for the experiment, he died leaving the unfinished work to a successor who was unable to do anything further. The place was closed up and nobody has bean in the deep cellar for about 25 years. The building is now used as a store-house by the Extension department. Several thousand dollars worth of film is kept there.

SOLDIER HOME -PLAN BACKED Women Support for Taycheedah Institution That the Taycheedah home in Fond du Lac county will be opened for its original purpose xin view is the indication of the joint finance committee of the legislature. Scores of women representing womens organizations in the state, have been canvassing, members 'of the legislature with the result that the opening of the Taycheedah home about July 1 now seems possible. A hearing was held before joint finance committee Tuesday afternoon over the Huber bill appropriating $500,000 for the establishment of a soldier's hospital here for mentally deranged ex-soldiers. Representatives of the city of Fond du Lac appeared before the committee to urge that the Tahchee-dah home be used for this purpose. Sen.

Titus and ex-Sen. A. J. Pullen, both of Fond du Lac, urged the use of the Tahcheedah home for soldiers. People of Milwaukee are very anxious that the Tahcheedah home be opened for the purposes it wa3 originally created for, said Assemblyman Frank Prescott.

Milwaukee. I am for the use of the Tah-chedah home for its original purpose. If we are justified in spending almost $18,000,000 for the cash bonus and the educational bonus for soldiers, declared Sen. Ilubeij, we are certainly justified in appropriating $500,000 for this hospital to care for ex-soldiers. The parents these disabled boys do not care to send them to insane hospitals and I think it would be a great blessing to the state if the $500,000 asked for can be granted and this institution, established.

We ought to have a bed capacity at least, said Maj. W. F. Lorenz, director of th psychiatric hospital. In April, 1919, before ail the A.

E. F. had returned, the federal authorities sent us a confidential list of soldiers in this state who had been discharged suffering toj some extent from mental disease. This list totaled 736 and 250 more may be added to account for those who 6ince returned in the same condition from France. At present we are filled to capacity with 1Q6 cases.

Brig. Gen. Atterbury, Vice-President of Pennsylvania Line, Admits Spy System (By the Associated Press! CniCAGO Brig. Gen. W.

W. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines, testified before the railroad labor board late Tuesday that his railroad maintained an extensive spy system and espionage system among it3 employes, and that it Chad little arsenals at Various points where guns and ammunition were kept." The testimony was given during cross examination by Frank P. Walsh, laboy" attorney, who charged that the Pennsylvania railroad spent 3800,000 a year in maintaining a police system that much of this really was used in keeping up a system of spys and espionage.

The loans averaged 53 per person and many were made just in time to save students from giving up the struggle because of financial difficulties. Although every available dollar was used, piany worthy students had to be refused because the funds were too small.

The university has 20 loan funds for this purpose. Fifteen of them, totaling 315,000, may be loaned Out entirely pnd then reloaned as the money is repaid by the recipients. Five of the loan funds, totaling $20,454, are trust funds whose income only may be loaned out. One of these, the John A. Johnson fund, produced last year an income of $885 for student 'loans.

Because of the increasing number of needy and worthy students who apply for small loans to aid in earning their way, the loan funds are at present, far from adequate; and further funds are being sought from alumni and friends of the university to endow new funds or add to the principal of existing funds. Even small gifts, ranging from $1 to $10, sought to enlarge the Secretarys Loan fund whose income is entirely used as small loans to students.
