OFFER FREE SCHOLARSHIPS Self-Supporting Students Can Secure Valuable Aid by Summer Work Free scholarships offered under the direction of Mr. H. W. Frey, are being awarded to self-supporting students. During the past seven years over 1,600 students have won free cash scholar- ships worth $100 to $1,500 apiece. President Wilson, together with five prominent college presidents, has en- dorsed this plan of awarding free scholarships to ambitious students. A certificate of such endorsepen is placed in the hands of every student whose application for enrollment is accepted. Any self-supporting student can se- cure full particulars and a copy of "Pepper of Princeton," which tells the story, by. applying personally to the local scholarship winner, Cyril E. Bailey, 206 S.

It has been decided by City Forester Bassett and other park officials that during the coming spring and summer months, a motorcycle po- lice beat will be installed on the most popular of the evening walks. The main purpose of this step is simply to prevent fires. Patronize Michigan Daily Advertiz- erse ** EXPLORER STARTS INTO IUNEXPLOREDCONTINENT Geographers Think Stefanssen Is Starting for Interior This Month That Vilhjahlmur Stefanssen, the noted polar explorer, is pushing to- ward the interior of what may prove to be a vast Arctic continent, is the belief of many eminent geographical authorities, including Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary. Stefanssen aimed to begin this trip on the first of March. Probably no polar explorer has made so many miles on sledge journeys as Stefanssen, whose total mileage ex- ceeds 8,000 miles. Through years of preparation Stefanssen has, been able to adapt himself to the hard conditions of the region, and starts upon his journeys almost without supplies with the exception of ammunition for his rifle. Between the expedition of Stefanssen and the Crocker Land expedition, which set out at about the same time to attack from different quarters the same unknown area in the Arctic, there has been a certain measure of rivalry. Macmillan, the leader of the Crocker Land expedition, and who set out from Cape Thomas Hubbard in Ellsmere Land, failed to discover the expected land, and is now returned and wintering in Smith Sound. Stefanssen, who attacked from the sonth instead of the east, discovered the new land during the last season and is presum- ably now exploring it to determine its extent and its characteristics. KNOCKS STUDENT EFFUSIONS WRITER OFFERS SUGGESTION FOR CORRECTING FAULTS IN DAILY COMMUNICATIONS Editor, The Michigan Daily: May I waste a few inches of your valuable space with a communication? I have been reading with no little in- terest and quite a bit of mental laugh- ter at the effluvium which finds its way into your columns. It seems that many of our students dote on having their names appear in print; it seems that others seat themselves at their desks to fight the battles of the world, to settle international questions and to wax humorous, or clever as the case may be, knowing that The Daily will be a sounding board for their ringing toots. These things are all very well for metropolitan papers which have oceans of space for such stuff. But the columns of our Daily can easily, I'm sure, be filled with other material. Your business department charges healthy rates for advertising material while you dispense the same with a lavish hand. I'm sure that some of these tedious letters would be con- siderably shortened if you set a 200 word minimum and demanded anony- mity. Despite the fact that the story of Creation was told in 600 words, some of the local Chestertons, Shaws, and Bert Leston Taylors use more than that number to voice an. opinion of The Pit, Dr. Cook, your editorial policy, the high cost of living and other interesting subjects. Indeed, many of them are almost like Henry Clay-they would rather write than be president. ALFRED P.

Warren Heinrich, chairman of the committee in charge of the Marine Engineering and naval exhibit to be held here on May 17 and 18 has been informed by the Navy Department that three Benet Mercier .30 caliber auto- matic machine guns, 6f the new type, capable of firing 600 shots per minute, will be sent to the exhibit. The dis- play will also contain a 45-centimeter Whitehead torpedo and a 14-inch How ell torpedo. These will be so arranged as to show the delicate mechanism of these wonderful machines. One of the features of the exhibit will be a large 7-barrel revolving gat- ling gun which was captured from the Spaniards in the battle of San Juan Hill in 1898, and is the gun which was ised so effectively in trying to stop the charge of Colonel Roosevelt's men. Mr. Heinrich is now attempting to procure some means of transporting the 37-centimeter Hotchkiss revolving cannon, which is now on display in Milwaukee. An attempt is also being made to procure a display of mines °rom the Newport naval torpedo sta- tion. SOPH IT SCORES 'PIT' B. G. ANDERSON REPLIES TO MISS IANCIE TT'S CRITICISM OF THE )AIA'S IHUMOR COLUMN I Editor, 'the Michigan Daily: With regret I take notice of Miss Hanchett's trenchant criticism of the Pit. It betokens an unsportsmanlike spirit to attempt to handicap the abili- ties of another, a thing of which I had hoped no true student, loyal to the traditions of the University, would be guilty. Of this action Miss Hanchett has been culpable. If Miss Hanchett has ever had occasion to peruse the column of The Daily set apart to humor it must have been forcibly brought home to her against what lim- itations the editor is already strug- gling. Therefore, with this in mind, why should he be further harassed by being denied the privilege of attempt.- ing to make merry at the expense of a few individuals who never would re- alize from the nature of the thrust that they had been singled out for mention? Even as Abraham was ready to sacrifice Isaac on the altar, and Providence directed him to the goat caught in the bushes, for my part I am willing to sacrifice all the individ- ual and even myself, but sparing the entangled goat, in the hope of eventu- ally locating something funny in the column. With no intention of boast- ing, I am compelled to make the need- less confession that I have never yet succeeded in deciphering the motive which actuated any of the outbursts which have appeared up to date. Per- haps there are others who will feel courage to make a similar confession now that pioneers in the field have preceded them. I trust that Miss Hanchett will find nothing offensively personal in the above. Sentiments of equity alone are responsible for these opinions. B. G. ANDERSON, LIT., '17.
