Due to a famine of Dartmouth men in ana around Binghamton, N. Y., Stump Barr recently pulled out of that town and moved his possessions to New York city. Stump says he hasn't seen an Eighteener for years, and is glad to be back in civilization where he can look up some of the boys. At present he is selling bonds for Callaway, Fish and Company, of 3/ Wall St., is married, and living at Woodhaven. Long Island.

On .Tune 14 King Rood was married to Margaret Hotchkiss Stillman at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York city. The Secretary had the good fortune to be present at the ceremony, and will say that it would have been most difficult to find a more perfect setting for a wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Rood will make their home at Briarcliff Manor, N. Y.

Another wedding of note was that of Freddie Morse to Miss Edna Harris of Lafayette, Ind. This took place June 11 at St. John's church, Lafayette, Ind. Morse is now a fullfledged M.D., having taken his degree from the Harvard Medical School. He faces the prospect of being an interne at the Providence City Hospital for the time being.

Don Scully writes from Cuba that he is now superintendent of the railroad of the Punta Alegre Sugar Company at Punta San Juan. He advises 1918-ers to consider Cuban real estate for locations before settling down elsewhere. The fact that it is not necessary to 8.Y.0.L. in Cuba may be an added in- ducement, he thinks.

Up in New Haven A 1 Street is now affiliated with the F. E. Kingston Company investment securities. He reports that the New Haven Dartmouth Club is already making plans to entertain rooters following the Yale-Dartmouth football game this coming October. It is rumored there will also be a dance, to which all visiting Dartmouth men will be invited.

One of our international diplomats, George Arnold, has again shifted scenes. He is now vice-consul at Bucharest, the sixth European city in which he has served in this capacity. Since entering the U. S. Consular service in 1919 he has functioned in Milan, Seville, Madrid, Barcelona, and Corunna. Somewhat of a record we should think, and the end is not yet in sight. He certainly has first claim to the distinction of being our most all-around internationalist.

Curt Birkenmayer is making good progress as construction superintendent of the Johns Manville Company of Massachusetts, located at 55 High St., Boston. At least he says he has succeeded in paying all his bills and keeping out of . debt. He is married and living at Lake Shore Park, East Weymouth, Mass.

Those who believe in "an apple a day...." can get theirs from H. M. Cameron of Ulster Park, N. Y. After managing to escape from New York and the Guaranty Trust Company, "Monk" Cameron bought some empty lots near Kingston on the Hudson a couple of years back, which he has converted into a thriving fruit farm. Now young apple, pear, and peach trees are sprouting merrily, while in the spring time shoots of asparagus invite beheading. The vineyards that were on the land when he purchased it have netted him a healthy harvest of grapes each year. Something in neighborhood of 19 tons a season. Eighteeners who are motoring between New York and Albany would do well to stop at Ulster Park and sample some of Monk's mouth-watering products.

Bill Chisholm now poses as an expert on real New England shore dinners. He assures any 18-ers who crave them will be served at quiet Marblehead, Mass., where he has recently bought a house. Evidently Bill found freshman classes in English at Dartmouth difficult to control, for he has now retired among the bonds of Harris, Forbes and Company, of Boston.

"Haven't done anything that would land me in Who's Who, but am getting along quite all right otherwise"—Walter S. Ross. The author of this is a consulting engineer on the gas industry and is employed by Alfred I. Phillips, New York city. Furthermore, Ross enjoys commuting from his residence in the mosquito state at Elizabeth.

To "practice law and avoid marriage"' is quite an achievement on no less an authority than George Row-ell. He is a lawyer in Boston with the firm of Warner, Stackpole and Bradlee.

From George Stoddard we learn that he is sales engineer for the DeLaval Pacific Company, of San Francisco, and lives at South Pasadena, Cal. He writes as follows: "The one outstanding fact of my existence here is that I seldom see any 18-ers. L. F. Seiler is at Long Beach, but otherwise no class members have ventured into this progressive country, where slush never packs up under your B.V.D.'s, and a man can quench his thirst after a few hours drive to Mexico."

Val Valentine is with the Goodyear Rubber Company at Milwaukee. He speaks with particular pride about his offspring, two in number, one of them a husky lad who Val claims has all the makings of a future football star off the Big Green team. He writes at length something like this: "He weighed 22 pounds at] 6 1/2 months, and had brains enough never tor cry for his daddy when hungry," at cetera. We don't blame him a bit for his discretion.

Cuit Tripp is now a practicing surgeon with ah office at 10 Eighth St., Boston. He is also on the staff of the St. Luke's Hospital, New Bedford, Mass., where he is surgeon in charge of the out-patient department.

Sherm Pullen and A. H. Ward are partners, in the canning business conducted under the name of Shaeffer Products Company, Minneapolis, Minn. In the same town Em Salisbury is selling springs and mattresses for Salisbury and Satterlee Company.

We note1 the recent marriage of Stanley Richardson Bates and Mildred Abbie Reed at the home of the bride in Springfield, Mass, The present address of Mr. and Mrs. Bates is 548 Dixwell Ave., New Haven, Conn.

Walter B. Wiley was ordained to the Congregational ministry in the Broadway church, Somerville, Mass., June 4. Wiley graduated this spring at Yale Divinity School, and will enter foreign missionary work in Turkey under the American Board.

Melville Fuller Weston was appointed June 2 assistant attorney general of Massachusetts. For the past two years he has been law secrer tary to the justices of the Supreme Court of the state.
