J. Hussey, director of the observatory, yesterday, in discuss- ing the prediction of Prof. A. O. Leuschner, of the astronomy depart ment of the University of California. In case the earth's'orbit is near that of the approaching comet, tqhich was first observed very faintly on April 10,. the earth's attraction can be expect- ed to divert some of the Mpeteoric ma- terial in itsswake. The shower will be more spectacular than serious, however, according to Professor Hus- sey, as we regularly experience such minor showers during the months of August and November. Professor Leuschner, who made the TEA9CHERS JOBS SEURDFO.32 prediction, is a graduate of Michigan of the class of 1888, and is an author- ity in the field of comets and minor planets, according to Professor Hus- sey. He has done a great deal of in- vestigating in the subject and has been director of the astronomical ob- servatory at Berkeley, California, for more than 25 years. OFFICALS RAS HYIN LCUE (By Associated Press) Washington, April 26.- Without a record vote, the senate late today passed the budget bill. Brief, ebate preceded final vote on ' he measure which was introduced originally by Senator McCormick, Republican, Illin- ois, passed by both 'senate and house of the 66th congress, vetoed by ex- president WilsonF and then re-passed by the house with the section found objectionable stricken out. The sen- ate, ,however, failed to act on the measure after the ex-President's veto. The measure, as passed today now goes to the house as re-passage is necessary on account of the change in admiistratioi. Prompt action hag been promised. The bill provides for a bureau of the budget in the treasury department to pre are estimates of appropriations nee ed by the various departments. The bureau would have as its head a director of the budget, appointed by the President with the consent of[ the -seaate for a term of seven years with an annual salary of $10,000. PROF. HAYDEN ENDORSES BHLL In :speaking of the passage of the budget bill by the senate, Prof. J. R. Hayden, of the political science de- partment, characterized the move as a step in advance. "The bill, which was vetoed >by ex- President Wilson because of a tech~ nicality, is now free from the feature which was objected'to," said Professor Hayden. "In its present Corm it sat- isfies the cry for an administrative bqdy that will supervise expenditures. It' is not a perfect bill, but is the be- ginning of a real bugetary system. "The feature in the bill which stip- ulates a seven year ;term for the di- rector of the budget tends to take the offlie -partially out of politics. Of course, some objection may be raised that such a term is inadvisable, on the supposition that' an official may be selected at some time 'who does not prove to be the one fitted for the position. "As a whole the bill is a move to- ward bet.ter government, and careful expenditure."

Dr. Barker comes here under the auspices of the Board of Education and the Parent Teachers association, his talk being in the na- ture of a general health lecture rath- er than a discussion of sex problems. Endorsed by Mayor Dr.* . E. Forsythe, director of the Health service, said: "From what we know we are very willing to endorse his lectures, as he gives an unusually entertaining and .instructive talk on personal health and personal efficien- cy," Dr. Forsythe then went on to say that it is byspcrsonal hygiene that the greatest advance in the prevention of disease will be made. George E. Lewis, mayor of Ann Ar- bor, called his address "the most forc- ible and instrutive that I have ever heard", and added that Dr. Barker pre- sents hi subject in the most refined way possible. L. E. Butler, superintendent of Ann Arbor schools, added his endorsement stating that Dr. Barker's talk is es- pecially suited to a student audience. Many prominent men make use of his' system of exercises and, from his ex- Fperience with them, Mr. Butler says they are most beneficial. Talks Enjoyed Shirley W. Smith, secretaW of the University, said that special telegrams have been received from Rotary clubs telling 1pm that the talks have been' greatly enjoyed by all their members who have heard Dr'. Barker. In commenting upon Barker's abil- ity Coach Fielding H. Yost declared that the hygiene lecturer presents his' addresses in an interesting and enter- taining manner.

I wish every man in the University could be at his lecture, for he says things that are beneficial and instructive." GRADUATE CLUB TO HEAR PROF. WENLEY a' Prof. Robert M.

SPRING SPOTLIGHT SCORES SUCCESS Union Orciestra Makes Excellent Showing; Quartette Makes Big Hit SINGING OF McCANDLES RECEIVES HEARTY APPLAUSE (By F.B. D.) One thing that should go in'the lead sentence of the story of last night's Spring Spotlight is the fact..that the Michigan Union orchestra is a good orchestra the minute you put a piano in it. The overtures played by that group of musicians were real music and it appears that an excellent prece- dent has been set for' next year's opera. The act that went best in the vaude- ville, if applause be any criterion, was the quartette composed of Albert Schirmer, '22E, Paul Wilson, '23L, Thomas Underwood, "21, and Kemp Keena, School of Music. Schirmer, all rolled up in a couple of yards of black taffeta (or was it crash?) made an im- pressive prima donna entrance which put the audience in a responsive mood from the start. Oriental Skit Good "The Watermelon Thief", an Orien- tal skit played by Charles Kuhn, '22, and Carl Guske, '22, was worth while. Despite the fact that the landlady that sat in back of us didn't seem to gather just what it was about and so took occasion to tell the idiosyncracies of the student in the third floor back to her sympathetic neighbor, we enjoyed that bit of thievery from beginning to end. The mandolin sextette was some- thing a bit different from the usual (Continued on Page Six) REAMINATIONS'SHOW PHYSICALIMPROVMEIT A 25 per: cent improvement, was shown in the physical condition of the '50 or 60 men who reported for re- examination at Waterman gymnasium ,yesterday, Acording to Dr. G. A. May, director. "The men showed improvement in every way," declared Dr. May, "over their first examination.

HONOR SYSE.O MICHIG ASSURED9 Petty Feels Action Taken by Faculty Insures Eventual Success of Plan DEAN EFFINGER ENDORSES NEW EXAMINATION SCHEME "Eventual adoption of the honor system throughout the literary, col- lege is now a certainty," said Fred J. Petty, '21, president of the senior lit- erary class, yesterday. "The action taken by the- faculty at# their Monday meeting insures the gradual adoption of the system. But of course it is only possible to insti- tute the honor system in a school the size of the University of Michigan by gradually extending it from the sen- ior classes to the lower classes," con- tinued Petty.! "The faculty, in recommending thek adoption of the honor system in -the Junior classes, has shown that it ap- proves of the success of the system in last semester's examination in courses4 where seniors predominated. a "The honor system in this Univer- sity will place scholastic work on a much higher plane and is a most de-] sirable thing," said Petty. Dean John R. Effinger heartily ap- proved of the action taken by the fac-1 ulty. Robert C. Angell, '21, chairman ofj the honor committee of .the senior1 class, says: "The action taken by the] faculty atr last Monday's meeting isj most gratifying to all members of thel committe and other advocates of the system.'
