THE MICHIGAN DAILY. /1 '), ' , WILL ATTEMPT TO PROCURE SUPPLIES te Centuries of the English Novel By Harold. Williams (823 W 72). -istories of the English novel have m frequent the last few decades" I this volume seems to be super- is. It does not add anything of in- est to the accounts of the various at authors from DeFoe to the pres- t time, of which the book treats.. ctrinal criticism has been avoided the belief that the novel is not subject .of constitutional govern- nt nor the slave of precedent. T'he arrangement and proportion en to the different authors seems be more admirably carried out than previous works on this subject. .t, sometimes, minor authors have en given more than their just allot- mt and some of the greater names .o have been elaborated too fully r the size bf the volume. LD HALTS MALL TRACK WORK nounce That Team Will Be Taken to Pennsylvania Relays The continued cold weather has Ated fall outdoor track practice. ach Farrell declared that the men re more liable to become injured an to obtain any benefit, and so put end to proceedings for a time. The indoor season proper does not art until after the Christmas vaca- >n, although undoubtedly the end of e foptball season will see several of e men working out regularly in the mnasium. Farrell's scheme of keeping the stest time to date posted on the lletin board in the gym will be llowed out again this season. This oved a decided success last year, d let the men know just where I i Scarcity of Chemicals, Due To War in Europe, Induces Move For Government Aid Owing to the scarcity of chemicals and other laboratory supplies as a re- sult of the war, the University of Michigan, along with other American universities and industrial institu- tions, is making an attempt to have the state department at Washington bring about an.understanding with the belligerents Wyhereby commercial re- lations with Germany may be rees- tablished for trade in articles that are declared not to be contraband of war. At present, cargoes valued at sev- eral hundred thousand dollars are lyinig idle at Hamburg and Bremen, awaiting some means of being trans- ported to their destination. With the mining of the North Sea, Germany's harbors have been rendered practi- cally useless to commerce, and the only method by which shipments are being sent to the United States is through the medium of some neutral port. This method is almost prohibi-- tive because of the expense, for, to insure a reasonable degree of safety,, shipments must be sent either by way of Norway or Italy. It is thought that the German gov- ernment will cooperate with the Uni- ted States in the atteipt to establish commercial relations, but it is doubt- ed whether our state department will risk anything that might antagonize any of the belligerents. js ' r ,\, r y . a cs,!

The object of the plan is to make it con- venient for men in the different de- partments who are interested in Un- ion activities to consult with their vice presidents. Each of the vice presidents will have general supervision of the men in his department and recommenda- tions for committee appointments will come very largely through him. By this means it is hoped to reach a large number of men that the president has never before had any means of con- sidering. Harry G. Gault, '15, lit vice presi- dent, may be reached every Monday, 11:00 to 12:00 and Wednesday 3:00 to 4:00 o'clock; K. S. Baxter, '15E, engineering, Tuesday 1:00 to 2:00 and Thursday 1:00 to 2:00 o'clock; Ed- ward Saier, '15L, law, Monday 11:00 to 12:00 and Friday 10:00 to 11:00 o'clock; George Curry, '15M, medical, Tuesday 5:00 to, 6:00 and Saturday 11:00 to 12:00 o'clock; F. A. McDon- ald, '15D, combined departments, Wed- nesday 5:00 to-6:00 and Saturday 1:00 to 2:00 o'clock. Men who desire to serve on com- mittees are urged to see their re- spective department vice presidents at once. PROFESSOR ZOWSKI IMPROVES ON OLD DESIGN OF TURBINES Recent tests of a new turbine, the latest one which Prof. S. J. Zowski, of the engineering department, has designed after several years of work, show that his latest turbine develops a further increase in capacity, with a rise in efficiency over any other tur- bine designed to run under a 16 foot head. The tests, which were held in the public testing flume at Holyoke, Mass- achusetts, disproved the belief com- mon among engineers, that it was im- possible to build a turbine which would develop more than 160 horse power, running at 200 revolutions per minute under a 16 foot head. This most recent design of Prof. Zowski's, while running under the above condi- tions, developed 268 horse power, with its efficiency rated at 90.7%. Previous to this test of the Zowski I turbine No. 5, this turbine had de- veloped 215 horse power, an increase of 33% over what was considered the obtainable maximum, realizing at the same time an efficiency of 90.1%, a value never before attained with wheels of high power type. Recently many of Prof. Zowski's turbines have been installed by the different turbine manufacturers all over the country. HERBARIUM PLANSE Specimens of Nearly All Plants and Fungi Will Be Displayed in New Science Hall EXPEDITIONS GATHER MATERIAL When the new science building is completed, Michigan will have one of ,the finest herbariums in the West. Complete specimens of nearly all plants and fungi of plants and trees will be displayed and put on exhibi- tion to the general public here for the first time. Last week a complete colleAtion of specimens of fungi were receded from the botanical station in the Adiron- dack mountains. Nearly all of these were gathered by Professor C. H. Kaufman and Mr. E. B Mains, of the botany department, last month while working'on an expedition sent out by the university. Among these fungi is a collection of plant fungi which are very destructive to trees and whose extinction will be a great benefit to lumbermen all over the country. They will be studied by the forestry depart- ment as well as by botanical students. In addition to the expedition in the Adirondacks, the university sent out an exploring party to the upper penin- sula in charge of Mr. Alfred H. Povah, '12, assistant in botany, who worked there in conjunction with the State Biological survey. Here also an enor- mous number of fungi and other mate- rial to be used in botanical work was collected and is now being prepared for the herbarium. The State Biological survey is plan- ning a survey of the entire state which will, when completed, greatly facilitate the work of botany and zoology stu- dents, and will aid materially in mak- ing the herbarium in the new science building an interesting, as well as use-, ful feature of the university. Appoint Medic From India to Vacancy Dr. William de Kleine, grad., and K. C. Kerwell, medic special, have been appointed assistants to Dean V. C. Vaughan, to fill the vacancy left by Roy Pryer, who has resigned to pursue graduate work for the degree of Doctor of Public Health. Kerwell is one of the few students in the university coming from India.

Cross' "History of Eng- land" has been adopted for use in 35 institutions, including Princeton Uni- versity, and the demand has been so great that it has been necessary to order a second edition printed. -Sergius P.
