NWUNACE SAFETY
PLANS OR HUON
athouse Management Equipped With
Launch to Be Used in Case of
Emergency
'LICE PATROL ESTABLISHED
Definite plans have been made with
ference to public safety on the Huron
'er tlrough the co-operation of the
iversty, its student organizations,
o Huron Farms company and the
y of Ann Arbor. The stream is be-
g cleared entirely of rocks, stumps
4 Lther dangerous objects, new life-
ving stations are being supplied to-
ther with several extra life preserv-
1 placed along the banks of the
rer.
The boathouse management, at a
aiderable sacrifice, has discarded
small canoes and has gone to the
pence of supplying all rented canoes
th cork cushions. The boathouse
knagemoent has also equipped its es-
)lshment with a launch and life-
ring equipment to be used in case
emergency, This launch can make
e trip to Bartn in better than ten
nutes and a man is on hand at the
aiouse to be called out at a mo-
pt'sa notice. Negotiations are now
der way for placing a telephone
,tion at a point near the old Corn-
dl- dan. Other steps for public safe-
on the river are also being con-
ered.
P.oliee Patrol System Organized
'he park commission of the City of
n Arbor has established a police
rol system for the river also. The
rol not only covers that part of
river where canoeing is done but
o ncludes all that public property1
m <Barton Pond to the Botanical{
rdens out Geddes avenue. This ter-
try includes Barton Pond, the
ves along the banks as well as the1
er: itself from Barton to the boat1
se, Cedar Bend Drive which in-1
des the park area at the Island and
f Drive which includes the Bo-
ical Grdens. A launch will be
4 on the river and a machine for'
boulevard drives.
he duty of this patrol is to pro.
it as far as possible all disorderly
duck; drinking of intoxicating li-
>s; prohibit bathing in Barton
ifd and bathing anywhere below
'ton Pond without complete bathing
ts; prohibit all shooting; see that
fires are put out by picnicers when
ving and prohibit the same en-
ly on Cedar Bend and Glen
ves property; to enforce the pres-
rules regulating the proper di-
tion for vehicles on Glen Drive
I Cedar Bend Drive; also prevent
troying of property; to inspect life
ing stations and outdoor telephones
ng the river and see that they are
in working condition; to enforce
closing hour on the river; and to
orce any other rules and regula-
ns that have been or may be en-
ed by the Park Commission of the
r of Ann Arbor, the Huron Farms
apany or the university upon their
ds.
Rules for Boulevard Drivers
With regard to directions for driv-
on the boulevard drives, vehicles
allowed to go only in one direc-
a on both Glen Drive and Cedar
id Drive. They may, however, go
either direction on Long Shore
ve, the drive which goes from the
.t house to the Whitmore Lake
age. Vehicles must enter Glen'
ve either from Geddes avenue or
servatory street and come out down I
along the river.
On C!edar Bend Drive
they must enter at Broadway and exit
at Wall street. However, vehicles
may go as far as the Island in the op-
posite direction, Long Shore Drive.
This special police is to report regu-
larly to the boathouse manager and
follow up any complaints that may be
entered there. Complaints of any na-
ture pertaining to the public welfare
along the Huron may also be made
to the man-in-charge at the Barton
plant or the superintendent of the park'
commission. As this police patrol is
for the interests of the community and
student body at large, it is most earn-
estly desired that the people using
these public properties do not step be-
yond the bounds of propriety.

"The Chief" at the Whituey
John Drew has a most entertaining
role in his new play, "The Chief,"
which was supplied him by Horace
Annesley Vachell. It is that of the
Earl of Yester, for you must know
that this smart play is essentially
English in characterization and scene.
But it simply suited Mr. Vachell's pur-
pose to make his people and scenes
English. Mr. Drew as the earl is a
likable man and so thoroughly human
that he has headaches and all that.
Of one thing you are sure, and that
is that he has a heart and when he
would marry the woman who was his
first love, and it looks as if fate were
going to interpose and upset his hap-
piness you feel truly sorry for him.
Mr. Drew is to present "The Chief"
at the Whitney Theater, Friday, May
5, and the seats for his performance
are to go on sale Wednesday, May 3.
BOOKS WORTH READING
"THE BARS OF IRON"-By Ethel M.
Dell-New York: G. P. Putnam's
Sons
In a drunken brawl in an Australian
saloon a youth kills a man. This
youth is Piers Evesham, the grandson
of an English baronet. He is a wild
and romantic youth, for he has Italian
blood as well as English. At home
he falls in love with Avery Denys, a
young widow who is "mother's help",
at the vicarage near his grandfather's
home. Strange to say, she is the
widow of the man he has murdered.
,e and Avery are married. Then his
crime becomes known to her and after
a long and bitter separation they do
imally work out their happiness to-
gether. though somewhat perfunctor-
iy.
"The Bars of Iron" is without much
power or originality. The characters
are conventional and somewhat stereo-
typed. There is the usual upright
vicar who abuses his children and his
cringing little wife. There is the
wonderfully good little girl who dies
of consumption. The persistent and
unconscious goodness and heroism of
the woman Avery is a little tedious.
The character of the brusque old
grandfather is rather refreshing, that
of Piers moderately so. Although the
story as a whole possesse little charm
it is at least wholesome and innocent.

Flying through the air.
With a little twig in beak,
Building its nest there.

The little eggs to warm,
When there soon will be
Little birds there born.

You fly and seem to say,
You be just as earnest
As I am found today.
Knowing it is springtime
For you to play your part,

Work For Lovell
Cob ber Poet Not Mloved to Romantic
Thoughts With Coming of
liarmer Weather
Dr. Tom Lovell is not moved by the
same impulses as is the average per-
son at the approach of spring, for
where the common people find in the
Iwakening of the things of nature a
call to the more idealistic and to the
romantic, Ann Arbor's poet sees in
it an opportunity for service and for
labor.
This feeling of Dr. Lovell is well
brought out in his ode to spring, which
which we are printing herewith:
A LITTLE IRD BIiLT ITS NEST
MEMORIAL HALL HAS
RAE MARBLE TABLETS
(Greek and Latin Inscriptions, 300 in
Number, Date Back to First
Century B. (.
In the basement of Alumni Memorial
hall, fastened to the walls with iron
brads, are a number of tablets of
marble that date from the first cen-
tury B. C. This important collection
of Greek and Latin inscriptions, 360 in
number, are formed of two separate
collections, one the De Criscio col-
lection and the other a collection gath-
ered by Walter Dennison, '93.
The collection and possession of the
inscriptions by the University of Michi-
gan reads almost like a romance. In
1897 Walter Dennison was studying
as a Fellow of the American School
of Classical Studies in Rome, and when
he was visiting sites in Campania he
made the acquaintance of an old priest
by the name of De Criscio, who had
collected Latin and Greek inscriptions
in the neighborhood. The collection
had already come to the notice of the
world in a book entitled the Corpus of
Latin Inscriptions, published by the
great historian, Mommsen.
When Dennison was engaged in his
work he stayed in the house of De
Criscio, who because of his advancing,
years, was alarmed about the proper
disposition of the collection. Mr. Den-
nison suggested that the University of
Michigan would be a good place and
that it would commemorate his name
and be accessible to the students. The
next year the collection was shipped
to America.
One of the most interesting of the
marble tablets is the one erected to
the honor of Augustus Caesar by the
Petronian guard. This reads, "Au-
gusto sacrum; Centuria Petronia."
This shows that the emperor was wor-
shipped as a god during his lifetime,
for had the tablet been erected after
his death it would have read "Divo
Augusto sacrum." This tablet rested
in a prominent place in Puteoli, and
it is possible 'that the apostle Paul
viewed it as he passed through that
city on his road to Rome.
Announce Marriage of Mary Wells
Announcement has been made of the
recent marriage of Mary Sheldon
Wells, a freshman in the university
last year, to John Donald Jordan, of
Detroit. Mrs. Jordan is a sister of

ball star.

WO11EN'S NUMi{E OF VA R1G OYLE
CONTAINS 1EEN-EI)E1 THRUSTS
With all its threatened violence, the
.Women's number of the Gargoyle ap-
peared on the campus yesterday. It
was easily apparent from the general
appearance and make-up of the pub-
lication that much time and labor had
been spent upon it. Despite the fact
that many campus celebrities came in
for their share of rather keen-edged
satire, there was much in the humor
magazine that gained fbr it general
approbation.

On the tree my little nest
Is where I built it to be
My little house to rest in at night,
Until the morning dawn to see.
Then I rise to seek my bread,
Not brought in the tree to me.
It's my part to seek it,
In the place where God laid it to be
IV.
When the day it is ended,
And the night shadows fall,
In my little nest I shelter
While in the morning calls
Me up again to labor.
In the work in my little sphere
Which I do so willingly,
In the spring of the year.
