P., TO TALK HERE Hon. Alexander F. Whyte, a mem- ber of the English parliament and ed- itor of "The New Europe," will lec- ture on "Changing England" at 4:15 o'clock Monday afternoon in the audi- torium of the Natural Science build- ing. A member of the University of Min- nesota history faculty writes the fol- lowing concerning the speaker: "Mr. Whyte has been with us for a weel and is considered by the men here to be the best speaker that has ever been on the local campus. It\has been a feast of Engish politics. I be- lieve that no Englishman has ever 'been so well received in Minneapolis, Mr. Whyte was in Paris during the last part of the Peace conference and has talked very enlighteningly of its various workings." Mr. Whyte has had considerable ex- perience in dealing with European politics both as a member of the British parliament and of the Indus- trial Insurance conference in 1910 at Vienna.

"Ii. ent Preservan Believed to Be Due to Use of Salt in Disposition WOMAN'S LOVER HELD I FURTHER INVESTIGATION Prof. A. S. Warthin, director of the' University ; pathological laboratory, was called .to Lawton, Mlch., Tuesday at the request of Van Buren county officials, to make a special investi- gation of the body of Maude Faith Tabor, '.00, which was discovered Sun- day afternoon bured. in a wooden trunk in the cellar of the Tabor ho ne in .that city. It is believed by Van Buren county physicians that the body had been in the trunk for three years; and, as no marks of violence' were found; tloe general suspicion is that death resulted from poisoning. Body Well Preserved The body was found' to be so re- markably well preserved that it is thought salt was used in its disposi- tion. It is said that all traces of any, poisoning but arsenic would have dis- appeared in three years, but police and county officials are making every ef- fortto clear up the mystery, and lave called upon Dr. Warthin in order to, have expert medical testimony. Mrs. F. T. Critchlow, elder sister of the dead woman, and Joseph Virgo, of South Bend, Ind., said to have been Miss Tabor's sweetheart, are, being; hdld in; Lawton pending investigation. Mrs. Critchlow, who discovered the, :ody believed to be that of her. sis- er, has refused to testify and has thus; nade as positive identification impos- ible. 20 Committees to Work on Competitiv Basis, According to Present Plans Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursda3 pf next week with a ,possible grant clean up day on Friday are the dates set for this year's campaign for Un- ion life members. Early Tuesday 20( men divided into 20 committees will start the drive to equal at least the successful campaign of last ypar whet 1,000 men signed up and in all prob- ability ,efforts will, be made to sur- pass' the record of 1919. During thi ' three day period,, 4,000 students; who are at present annual members, will be solicited to become life members. Although the purpose of the drive is primarily to enlist the seniors, every student will be ap- proached. Porter, '21, Chairman o Donald Porter, '21, general chair- mal of the campaign, has appointed the majority of the.20 chairmen, and the entire number will be announced within a 'few days. ' Each chairman will name, 10 men to act as his assist- ants. As last year each man will be given a list of 20 stndents to ap- proach, who are as yet not life mem- bers. The last campaign netted approx- imately 1,00 memberkhips which brought into the Union a sum of $50,- 000.' A larger sum will probably be taken in this year, and although the major part of this money will not be received for some years, the aim of the drive is to secure funds to com- plete the unfinished parts of the build- ing. ! May Continue Friday Details of the campaign are bein, worked out by Chaifmpn Porter, apd will be announced within a few days. It is expected that everyone can be approached in the three days, set for the drive, but it may be that a grand finish day on Friday may be desir- able. The 20 committees will work on a competitive basis, the committee with the best recera being treated to a steak dinner the eeek-after the drive' is over. It ;is probable that the man who signs up the most men will re- ceive some special recognition of his work.' M'USICAL CLUBS "Hula" Dance, Varsity St~nged Sex- tet, Girls' Glee ClubGet Much Applause FEATURES INTER$PERSE MUSI- CAL NUMBERS; CROWD LARGE Varsity Glee and Mandolin club took their "mid-semester exam" last night before a crowd of townspeople and sta- depts estimated to be more than 2,000.

"Father Wil lam" and "She Wilted" were given next by the Glee club., "Jazz by the Jazz Sextet" came next, and received a fullshare of the ap- plause, the Sextet responding to an en- core. Considerable amusement was creat- ed by the specialty given Eby S. S. Hawkes, '21, recalling !'The Days of Yore" and "Joe and the Orient." Ramsey Sings' The "Stringed Sextet" was recalled for a second selection, the crowd ap- plauding long after they left thestage .for the last time. H. E. 'Ramsey, a Scotchman, sang two numbers in that brogue. "There Are No Tears" by the Glee club con- clued their part singly in the pro- gram, and Ave Maria by the Mandolin club was theirl ast number.

In former productions it was cus- tomary for most of the numbers to be musical but this year many are novelty stunts and it was thought that the orchestra'would be an aid in sup- plementing them.

"Due to the increasing cost of the materials," said Homer Heath, general manager of the Union, "the sum needed for the con- struction of toe pool mounts steadi- ly. The price that is quoted at pres- ent is $40,540. Although the' m'oney from the Spotlight will not be a large factor still it will count." Tickets for the Spotlight-will e on sale today, in booths bn the campus and in the State street book stores. Although the tickets have so far been on sale only two days W. D. Craig, '20, who has charge of the sale, says that they are going fast and some peo- ple will undoubtedly not be able to get tickets unless they buy before Fri- day. Opera Receiving Fin al ITou-ches With its first performance, schedul- ed for Thursday, Dec. 1.1, but a' week away, the cast of "Red Feather" is receiving extra drilling in an effort to 'bring the production to perfection for the first' night. Rehearsals, which are now being held twice daily at the Union, will be shiftdd to the stage of the Whitney theater the first of next week, There will sbe two dress rehearsals held, and all those at the theater will be, with scenery. "Red Feather," which is the work of Reginald DeKoven and Charles Klein, includes several unusually difficult singing roles, according to E. Morti- mer Shuter, director of the produc- tion, but these are being capably fill- ed by the principals. With men of the caliber of James Hamilton and Robert Dieterle taking the male leads, and with Mrs. P. Walcott as "Red Feath- er," or Countess Draga, theater-goers are assured of hearing DeKoven's mu- sic rendered at its best, says Mr. for a future message and hi statement of his intentions the peace treaty or Mexico his recommendations were as those submitted to the E slon last spring and sedera are embraced inalegislatb being formulated in the two To meet the cost of' livingj ident asked ejtension of th food control bill, federal of cold storage, read just'm transportation and establish system of federal licensing: porations engaged, in inter merce.
