Up to yesterday more than 1100 had been realised by the class, and It was said the "rush Is Just starting." The girls and boys on duty at the station are given credit in their classes for the time taken out.

Two young duck hunters apparently lost in the north shore Skokie Valley district today, were the object of a concerted search with two airplanes, 100 Boy Scouts, a coast guard crew and police taking part. The young hunters, Robert 'as, 14 yesrs old, and Alexander Malt-land, 26, left home yesterday morning after breakfast with the intention of not staying away long. Their continued absence alarmed their families snd the search was begun in earnest when they failed to return overnight. The airplanes were employed by August de Clercque, construction superintendent of the Commonwealth Edison company for whom Maltland worked. They have been flying low over the territory throughout the day seeking a trace of the lost hunters.

Nineteen were convicted and received straight to the house of correction, Purchase of General Motors Building Deemed Unlikely. The persistent rumor that the Pennsylvania railroad proposed to buy the General Motors building, between Seeord and Cass on West Grand boulevard, and convert it Into a Detroit terminal by use of the tracks one block north, was given another setback yesterday.

Ever since plans for the new Fisher building, across Grand boulevard, have been before the public eye, whisper of negotiations for the sale of the General Motors building has been heard In Detroit clubs. But during those months nothing has happened to dignify the chatter and give it a material foundation. "Just look at the idea from a common sense standpoint," came a suggestion from an authoritative source. "If the Pennsylvania were to buy the General Motors building a young fortune would have to be spent for the development of the property for terminal purposes." In this connection, It Is Interesting to remember that the financial statements of the General Motors, the Fishers and the Pennsylvania railroad give a larger meaning to "a young fortune" than ths expression ordinarily commands. "Development of othtr property for terminal purpones, of course, would cost a huge amount," it was further pointed out, "but the total expenditure adjacent to present holdings of the Pennsylvania would in no sense parallel the requirement In the vicinity of the General Motors building." It has been known for months that the Pennsylvania contemplates high expenditures In Detroit and vicinity In an effort to obtain a larger eriare of the automobile and other freight shipments from here.
