What Do YOU Know

About Clothes?

Not much if you're like most men;
you probably don't care to spend either
the time or money to learn,
The way to be sure to get what you

pay for is t wear

PLANE STIMULATES
AEONAUiCWORK
Machine to Take Place of Experimental
Kites iI Aero Courses;
Weighs 1,200 Pounds
TO BE COMPLETELY OVERHAULED
' Aero society's new model "B" Wright
aeroplane, which is to be brought here
from Detroit tomorrow morning, will
be the first air machine with which
the aeronautics department of the uni-
versity has been able to experiment.
Students in the aeronautics course of-
fered in the engineering college had
intended to begin the construction of
individual kites, but since a real aero-
plane has been presented to the so-
ciety, the new machine will take the
place of most of the laboratory appa-
ratus which is generally constructed
for use in the course.
The new aeroplane is a bi-plane,
equipped with pontoons so that it may
be used as a hydro-aeroplane. The
motor is made of grey iron and a com-
position of aluminum and other met-
als. It is rated at 35 horse power and
weighs 180 pounds. The entire ma-
chine, loaded with pilot, weighs about
1,200 pounds. The plane can develop
a speed of 40 miles per hour in the
air, and carries sufficient fuel for a
three-hour flight. The'bi-plane has a
span of 40 feet from end to end.
The plane will be entirely over-
hauled by members of the aero so-
ciety, and the motor will be tested in
the mechanical engineering laboratory
of the engineering college. The ma-
chine, however, is said to be in first
class condition, since it has been in
storage ever since it was overhauled
in Dayton two years ago.
If the machine is in condition by the
time of the Boat club regatta, it will
be taken to Barton dam where a flight
will be made on the afternoon of the
aquatic outing. The management of
the regatta has already accepted the
society's proposal to give a flight that
day, and the aeroplane stunt is slated
as one of the features of the regatta.
F. E. Loudy, '15E, president of Aero
society, will pilot the aeroplane, if
the flight takes place.
VARSITY BAND WILL PLAY AT
BOAT CLUB REGATTA ON MAY 29
Varsity band music has been defin-
itely promised as an attraction for the
Boat club regatta to be mounted on
Barton pond, May 29. Work on floats
for the parade of societies booked for
the night carnival have been started,
and a committee under Sidney T. Steen,
'16E, has practically settled a lengthy
list of prizes to be awarded winners.
The management of the regatta has
drawn up the request that each boater
on the pond, during the night events
shall bear a lighted Japanese lantern,
on one end of the'canoe.

ANTI-MILITARISTIC CAMPAIGN
AMONG COLLEGES COMES TO END
Evidence Tends to Show that Majority
of Students Oppose Camps
and Drills
Officers of the newly-formed Colle-
giate Anti-Militarism league have com-
pleted a campaign, among the various
colleges and universities throughout
the country to learn the sentiment of
the American student body in regard
to military instruction in colleges.
The results obtained show that ap-
proximately 63,000 students in 37 col-
leges are opposed to the practice of
military drill and summer camps for
college men, while about 17,000 are in
favor of the idea. The league has re-
ceived letters from 36 colleges, repre-
senting 80,000 students.
President Karl G. Karston, of the
League, stated that while the figures
could not be relied upon absolutely,
because of the haste in which the can-
vass was made, the cumulative evi-
dence establishes the overwhelming
sentiment of the college men bf the
United States against militarism. "One
of the most significant facts revealed,"
said President Karston, "is that no
jingoistic sentiment exists in the stu-
dents questioned. There is no desire
to build up an army prepared to con-
quer foreign territory.
PROF. KRAUS COMPLETES TOUR
OF STATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Prof. H. E. Kraus, dean of the sum-
mer session, is at present visiting the
secondary schools of the state in the

accredited list, and to add new ones
if possible. Professor Kraus is ex-
pected to return tonight or tomorrow
morning.
Architect Injured in Interclass Game
R. F. Miller, '18A, of Jackson, Mich.,
sustained a fractured nose this after-
noon while catching for the architects
in the homeop-architect interclass
game on south Ferry field. He was
immediately taken to the Homeopathic
hospital where the fracture was re-
duced and set, with indications for an
immediate recovery.

COMPLETE HEAT CONDUCTIVIT)
TEST IN ENGINEERING BUILDI
First Experiment of Its Kind Ever
Attempted by any School
In This Country
First tests in experiments being con-
ducted in the mechanical engineering
department on the heat conductivity of
building materials have been complet-
ed. A 36 hour run on ordinary win-
dow- glass disclosed a co-efficient
slightly higher than the theoretical
one now in use by architects and
builders. The glass used in the test
was put in one vertical and two hori-
zontal positions representing a win-
dow, a skylight and a glass grating.
Another set of tests probably will be
run off about the last week of the
semester, when the results already
secured will be confirmed and experi-
ments will be made with the glass in
a sloping position, as in greenhouse
construction.
The tests in building material con-
ductivity are the first that have ever
been attempted by any university in
this country, and are the first to be
tried in any country outside of Ger-
many, where the experiments of this
nature were given up after some suc-
cess. Next year the department hopes
to make tests with other materials
such as wood, brick, concrete, plaster,
and roofing paper.
STUDENTS OF ST. JOHNS MEET
FOR YPSI-WOLVERINE BANQUET
Former students from St. Johns high
school, who are now attending the uni-
versity, will meet with their former
classmates who are now attending the
normal, institution at Ypsilanti, in the
Union clubhouse at 6:30 o'clock to-
night. Dr. Carl V. Weller, of the Med-
ical School, will act as toastmaster.
Menorah Society Essays Due Tomorrow

tive year in which the competition has
