Collins will be erected on Commonwealth Avenue beyond the Somerset Hotel with a $25,000+ fund, featuring a 17 foot stone column, sundry allegorical figures, shrubbery, steps and seating. The site, approved by Park, Art, and architectural bodies and Mayor Fitzgerald, replaces the earlier Beacon Street plan. The project by H. H. Kitson and partners will take about 16 months to complete.

Chew Your Food and Live Longer Says Prof Fisher
Yale economist Professor Irving Fisher reports in the Yale Alumni Weekly on experiments with nine Yale students showing a 50 percent rise in endurance at mid point and doubling of possible physical work by thorough mastication. Meat intake fell to about half and later to one sixth as cereals fruits and nuts replaced meat. He concludes a healthy individual can double endurance in five months by mindful chewing and diet adaptation.
