FRIDAY SUGGESTS
NEW FRATERNITY
In connection with plans formutat-
ed for a fraternity based upon sales-
manship in which membership is gain-
ed by making at least $1,000 during
the summer -vacation, Prof. David
Friday suggests a fraternity based on
commerce. Fraternities of this type,
exist in New York and other places,
and he believes that the plan would be
successful here.
Professor Friday believes that so
many people have money of which
they wish to make use that a great
number of new fraternities and soror-
ities are springing up all over the
country. He thinks also that within
a few years the campus will be nearly
surrounded with dormitories.
Luncheondclubs forumeno the Uni-
versity are part of a plan suggested
by Professor Friday. These clubs
have proved, successful in New York
and are a good means of drawing to-
gether men- having the same inter-
ests. The Michigan Union would form
an admirable place for such lunch-
eons, according to Professor Friday.
DISCUSSION GROUP MAY

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB CONSIDERS
,PLANS FOR INSTRUCTIN(K
IN ESPERANTO
.Esperanto, the new world-language,
will be taught in the discussion group
of the Cosmopolitan club, according to
plans that are now under way. "The
language is interesting and can be
mastered in a month or two," .says
I. C. Tung, '20, chairman of the com-
mittee that has been considering the
matter. "We are very fortunate in
having a man who is able and willing
to teach it, Mr, Jaffe, a student from
Russi.e
New Tongue .Interesting
"This language is being taught in
many of the F4ropean universities,
and. is bound to be interesting to the
students of the Upiversity." WIg points
out that the advantage of such a lang-
uage will be that when it is more
universally known, it will provide a
'medium of conmunicatlon for all the
races of the world. The simplicity of
the language and the ease with whch
it may be learned are said to be great-.
ly in its favor,
Plan Further pisc~usslon

sion of the feasibility of giving such

sity, and the organization of a class

able," said Prof. F.. W. Pawlowski,

sets no time limit for the event but
is confident that the project will
eventually meet tremendous success.

ing toward the solution of the idle
land; problem in Michigan. The pro-
grain as planned' includes speakers of

Watkins, Dean Shaw of the State Ag-
ricultural college, Dean Davenport of

absence. During his leave he was en-
gaged in aeronautical research for the
Polish government.
Frencii Captain Prophecies
"When the Wright brothers made
their initial flights in France," con-
tinued Professor Pawlowski, "a Capt.
Kerber, of the French army, saw the
possibilities of aviation. He made the
prophecy that, 'yesterday they flew
from spot to spot, today from city to
city, tomorrow from continent to con-
tinent.' I see no reason why. the fu-
ture should not witness a non-stop
flight around the world. It is only a
question of time before increased size
and superior construction will make*
such an attempt possible."
Aerial Navigation to Develop
Professor Pawlowski is confident
that' aerial: navigation will develop
with great leaps. The airplane and
flying boat have proven their com-
mercial value. Many deep-sea fishiAg
concerns now employ H-flying boats
to spot the schools of fish. Govern-
-ments have recognized the value of
the airplane for rapid mail service..
Geological survey and forestry super-
visionguse planes extensively.
The transportation of perishable
goods, machine parts, medical and
surgical supplies, motion pictures aid
newspapers is demanding a more rap-
id conveyance. In Europe aerial taxi
service is an accomplished fact. Bus
lines will be the inext- advance and
even a tourist line is not .improb-
able. . .t
Present Methods Inadequate
"The present methods of passenger
transportation are inadequate," said
Professor Pawlowski, "there is a
great need of faster and safer means.
Established systems have reached the
highest speed that can be obtained
with any degree of safety. On :the
ground, the daiger increases with the
speed, while in the air the higher the
rate of travel, the lower the risk. I
see in the airplane the solution of a
difficult transportation problem."

PALMER SAYS STEE CASE
DOES NOT SET PRECEDENT'
(By Associated Press)
Washington, . March 11.-The> De-
partment of Justice will proceed
against all corporations alleged to be
trusts, regardless of the recent deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in the steel
corporation case.
In announcing the department's pol-'
icy today Attorney General Palmer
said, "the steel case does not indicate
what the high court will do in other
similar trials."
He added that the department staff
had given careful consideration to the
steel decision and had found that there.
were many. differences from a legal
standpoint inall other cases now b-
ing prepared by the government.
Nine Anti-trust suits are. now be-
fore the Supreme Court.
Copetition Keen
In Burglar Hunt
College men are always willing and
anxious to please. Especially when
the task is routing a burglar out of a.
woman's dwelling house, when the
hour is late.
Thursday night about 11 o'clock all
was quiet along North Ingalls street.
A few of the boys were studying, but
many were in bed, as it is the cus-
tom to retire very early in the neigh-
borhood. Only the tinkle of a piano
smashing out the strains of the latest
jazz tune disturbed the quiet as of the
dead.
Suddenly there was a feminine
shriek-a call for help such as only
a strange man, discovered where he
shouldn't be, could provoke. The
echoes of the shriek had not died away
before a motley collection of male
students nondescriptedly attired was
pouring forth from fraternity and
rooming houses. Where before was
only emptiness was now a jostling
crowd, all with the same goal.
A man who had been dissipating at
the Union tap room won out. He
happened to be just in front of the
house when it all happened, and thus
had a three yard handicap. His was
only a moral victory, however. All
that was found was the intruder's
cap.

"The American Legion is not ask-

"We stand for 100 per cent Ameri-
canism," weresome of the sentiments
expressed by Col. A. H. Gansser,
Michigan commander of the American
Legion,-in his 'address "before the
Overseas club at their smoker last
night in. the Union.
