BABES SWATHED IN PAPER
Washington, March 24.-Lack
of clothing in the liberated
countries of central Europe is
regarded by Herbert Hoover,
European relief commissioner,
fully as seriogs as the shortage
of food. 1p a cablegrai today
urging the Anierlcan people to
9tri pte J lberally to the col-
lection of clothing being made
this week by the American Red
Cross, Mr. Hoover said that in
some of the war devastated
countries a considerable portion
of the population was unable
to leave their homes because of
insufficient clothing, while new
born babies in Servia are wrap-
ped in paper because cloth was
not available.

FORMALITY TABOO
AT FRIDAY OPERA
In reply to numerous inquiries that
have been heard on the campus the
Opera committee states that the Fri-
day evening performance will not b
formal.
By common consent in past years
Friday evening was "society night,"
but under the present conditions those
in charge deem it best to do away
with the formality for this year.

STEKETEE AWARDED
FOOTBALL TOKEN
eiridiron Men Discuss Prospects for
Cioming Season at Banquet
Tuesday
BARTELME URGES ATTENTION
OF MEN TO SCHOLASTIC DITTIES
F. W. Steketee, '22, of Grand Rap-
ids, was personally awarded a gold
football watch fob by Coach Fielding
H. Yost at a football dinner held last
night in the Michigan Union build-
ing.
This token was given by Yost as an'
"appreciation of, his excellent ser-
vices during the 1918 season." On the
the face of the gold oval were in-
scribed in blue letters, "Frank W. Stek-
etee, "Champion All-American Full-
back.". On the reverse side were the
numerals, "1918" inblue.
This banquet was the first gather-_
ing of last year's grid men, the pur-
pose of which being to review the
prospects of former years and to de-
termine, if possible, the number of
men desiring to return to the Univer-
sity in the fall.
Coach Yost was the principal speak-
er of the evening. Thegames played
by Michigan during the 18 years of-
his leadership were reviewed, being
followed by a short talk on the pros-
pects for a good eleven this year.
Grid Men Give Speeches
Before the presentation of the gold
football to Steketee, three grid men
gave short talks. The football men
on the speaking program were John
Morrison, John Perrin and Abe Cohn.
Athletic Director Philip G. Bartelme
urged the men to keep up in their
studies in order that they may be elig-
ible for the team in October, due to
the ruling of the Big Ten, which pro-
hibits any grid player to participate
in western Conference games who is
below the passing grade.
Many Guests Present
Among the guests at the dinner
were Irwin Pond, architect of the
Michigan Union and a member of the
1879 eleven which was the first foot-
ball team that represented Michigan;3
Assistant Coach Douglas, Prof. Wil-
liam A. Frayer, and several members'
of the board in control of student ath-
letics.
Coach Fielding H. Yost departs for
Detroit this morning, leaving for his
home from Chicago early Wednesday.
He does not expect to visit Ann Arbor
until late in June or several weeks be-
fore the start of the fall grid prac-
tice in September.
EFFICIENCY MAN SETS
FORTH SUCCESS, RES
"There are five simple rules to suc-
cess," said Mr. Samuel J. Hoexter, in
his talk before the Jewish Students'
Congregation Sunday night in Lane'
hall. "They are just as effective when
applied to religion as when used in
business."
Mr. Hoexter was an instructor in the
engineering department from 1912 to
1916, and was also faculty manager
of the University band. At present
he is a lecturer in the Emerson Insti-
tute.
"I have known these rules to make
successful men. They have not been
hastily put together, but are the re-
sult of long research and study."
First among these rules, according
to Mr. Hoexter, is the thinking and
dealing in fundamentals. These con-
sist in having a desirable commod-
ity, practical production, disposing
facilities, a minimum of loss, and fi-
nancial stability. Such fundamentals
apply to any business or profession,
as well as any line of students' work
in college.
The next rule is to have the right
mental attitude toward the work. This
consists in taking a personal interest
in everything done, and makes for en-
thusiasm and spirit. The other rules
bespeak the personality of the man,,
his initiative, and the time element.
"The last rule is important," said
Mr. Hoexter. "Many men would have
been successful but for their delays.
'Do it now' is a good rule to follow
always. It may make all the differ-
ence between success and failure."
Who Invented Electric Arcs?
Who Invented Storage Zattery?
Who invented the electric arc light?
Who invented the storage battery?
It is likely that if the average stu-
dent were asked to whom the world
owes the credit for these inventions,
the mind would immediately turn to
Edison, the wizard of electricity. It
is not to Edison, but to a University
of Michigan graduate, Charles F.
Brush, '69E, of Cleveland, O., that the
unusual honor belongs.
The great inventor and investigator
of electric lighting has just celebrat-
ed his seventieth birthday anniversary,
yet the use of the electric light has
become so general that it seems much
longer than the age of the genius
would indicate.
As a young man, soon after com-
pleting a course in engineering in the
University, Mr. Brush conceived the
idea of utilizing the electric current
for lighting purposes.
After several discoveries were made,
the inventor, only with considerable
difficulty, succeeded in enlisting the
interest of some of the well-know
scientists of the time. His- device was
then successfully demonstrated at the
Parisexposition, and a corporation for
the manufacture of the lights was or-
ganized.
Many improvements in electric light-
ing have been made, but it is due to
this Miciigan man that the arc light
and the storage battery were devel-
oped! to a point where their practical
character was demonstrated. He has
lived to see the civilized world girdled
with the products of his genius.
UNIVERSITY 6RAD
TO WR ITE H ISTORYT
Brig. Gen. Spaulding, '96L, Appointed
by General Pershing for
Important Work
BRILLIANT MILITARY RECORD
MADE BY U. S. HISTORIAN
Brig. Gen. 0. A. Spaulding, '95, and
'96L, has been appointed by General
Pershing to write the history of the
great world war. Spaulding is a prom-
inent Michigan man, and was a bril-
liant student when attending the Uni-
versity.
Reget Junius E. Beal learned of
the appointment of General Spaulding
to this important position on his re-
cent trip to Washington. In comment-
ing upon the honor conferred on Gen-
eral Spaulding, Regent Beal said,
"General Spaulding, while in the Phil-
ippines wrote me several letters in
which he showed unusual style and
great ability in the choice of words
and subject matter. I think that he
is excellently qualified for the posi-
tion which he is to fill."
Has Access to All Records
In his work as historian. General
Spaulding will have access to all the
war orders and records of the expe-
ditionary forces in France, and when
these are exhausted by his research,
he will probably investigate those in
Washington.
He is an honor graduate of the ar-
tillery school at Fortress Monroe, and
was a graduate of the army staff col-
lege in 1905. It is said that when be-
ing examined for promotion by army
officers, after about 20 minutes of
questioning, they stopped for fear that
Spaulding would begin questioning
them on things of which they knew'
nothing.
Quells Riot in Alaska
General Spaulding distinguished
himself in Alaska by quelling an at-
tempt of the gold miners to start a
riot, and received promotion for this;
exploit. After a series of rapid ad-
vances he was sent to the Philippines,
and on his return to San Francisco,
was made a lieutenant-colonel.
On graduating from the artillery
school at Fort Sill, Okla., he-was made
a colonel and sent to France. While
in France Spaulding received his pres-'
ent rank of brigadier-general.
SOPHS TAKE STAND
AGAINST HAZING
Resolutions with regard to hazing
on the part of all the sophomores of
the University have been formulated
and adopted by the class, and will
take effect immediately.
At the All-Soph smoker held Satur-
day night in the Union assembly room,
the following resolutions which defi-
nitely outline the sophomores' stand
in the matter were unanimously
adopted. '
Resolved-that the classes of '21 are
opposed to pernicious hazing, and will
resent any infringements on this rul-
ing by individual groups. That the
president of each sophomore class ap-
point a member to a committee to
which all infringements upon Michigan
traditions by freshmen be reported.
Western Attorney Visits University

COOKS SUBJECTED
TO STATEEM
Michigan Legislature Follows Lead of
Other States in Passing
Hygiene Law
NEW MEASURE SUPPORTS
PRESENT LOCAL ORDINANCE
Compulsory examination of all cooks
in Ann Arbor boarding houses will be
necessitated by the bill passed by the
Michigan state legislature, and now
waiting for the signature of the gov-
ernor to become a law. It provides
for the examination of persons han-
dling food, including grocers and
butchers.
Laws of this nature have been in ef-
fect in New York and many other
large cities, and have done much
good. They all require an examina-
tion, which is given free of charge
by the city health officias, of all
cooks and waiters for tuberculosis, ty-
phoid, and other contagious diseases.
Many persons, although not having
typhoid themselves, carry it and dis-
seminate it among people who are
susceptible.
Dean Vaughan Declares Need
That a law of this nature is neces-
sary from the standpoint of decency
alone is the opinion of Dean Victor C.
Vaughan. He stated that it would do
much in addition to protecting the pa-
trons of.he restaurants since no one
who was diseased would be able to ob-
tain work as a cook or waiter, and
hence would take more care in mat-
ters of personal hygiene.
Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city health of-
ficer, declared that work of this sort
had been carried on for some time in
the city, and that the only thing
which this law would accomplish
would be the support ofthese. When
asked as to whether private houses
would be 'examined, he said that at
first they would probably not be, for
officials would be kept busy in other
places.
Ann Arbor Steward In Favor
The steward of one of Ann Arbor's
big boarding houses declared himself
in favor of the law, in view of the;
fact that though the patrons could see
the waiters previously, and to some
extent judge their condition, they
could tell nothing as to the condi-
tions in the kitchens.
LECTURER VISITS
WARRING ITALIANS
Prof. Charles Upson Clark, who lec-
tures here the evening of April 6 in
Hill auditorium, has visited the Ital-
ian front on two occasions at the be-
hest of the government of Italy.
His first trip was made in the fall
of 1917, when the Germans broke
through the Italian lines and invad-
ed a large portion of Italy, while his
second trip, which was made a year
later, occurred under more favorable
conditions, as the Italians were mak-
ing their famous advance at this time.
Films, that are to be shown at the
lecture here, come from the Italian
front with the full approval of that
government.
Professor Clark was a fellow at the
American School of Classical Studies
at Rome, of which he is now a di-
rector, together with Librarian W. W.
Bishop of this University,20 years ago.
]Much of his time has since been spent
there.
