Fairy Tale Man
To Lecture Here

Dr. Jan Surawski, inspector of hos-
pitals in the Polish ministry of pub-
lic health, and one of three Polish
physicians who are here in America
on fellowships from the Rockefeller
Foundation for the purpose of study-
ing the administration of various hos-
pitals in the United States, is spending
a short time in Ann Arbor inspecting
the University hospitals.
"There is a great difference between
the American hospitals and ours," he
said yesterday. "For one thing, you
have a great many private ones. In
Poland, there are very few private
ones, most of the hospitals being main-
tained by the government. The city
or county cares for all of the people.
That is why conditions are so hard
now-the people are entirely depend-
ent upon the government for medical
and hospital care, and the government
has not enough money to treat the
problem adequately.
"You see, so much money is needed
to guard the country against the con-
stant and immediate menace of the
Bolshevists of Russia-a standing
army must be kept to watch the fron-
tier. This takes money away from
the treausry, so that the hospitals
suffer. -

"Conditions are improving steadily,
of course. The government is firmly
organized now, and fear of starvation
is not so great a problem as it was.
The weakest point of present condi-
tions is the utter lack of sanitation.
Although the people have food, they
have few clothes; many have no
houses, and most of the poor people,
particularly of the smaller towns and
villages,-are practically destitute. The
unsanitary conditions under which.
they live are too horriblestodescribe.
"Another factor of danger is the ty-
phus. During the first part of the
war, back in 1915, the Russians trans-
ported many of our people to the
north of Russia, even far into Siberia.
Our people have been working their
way slowly back ever since then. They
come miles and miles with practically
no clothing, little food-oh, it is ter-
rible ! Many travel great distances
through the biting cold of a Russian
winter, barefooted. The wonder is not
that so many die, but that any live to
reach home.
"In Russia the typhus is rampant.
We have a series of hospitals sta-
tioned at various points along the
frontier between our country and Rus-
sia, in which we care for this con-

stant stream of returning country-
men. In this way we try to keep the
typhus from coming into Poland. The
hospitals attempt to care for between
20,000 and 25,000. patients who come
twice a week for treatment. Some-
times, though, as high as 40,000 come,
and it is. impossible to care for that
number wth our limited equipment
and facilities. We do our best, but
money and more money is needed be-
fore we can hope to cope with the
problem of property sanitary condi-
tions."
PROF, GOMBER( ATTENDING
MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA
Prof. Moses Gomberg, of the chem-
istry, department, is attendin a meet-
ing of the ,American Philosophical So-
ciety at Philadelphia today. He will
go from here to Washington, D. C.,
where he will attend the National
Academy of Sciences meeting. Pro-
fessor Gomberg will discuss his
method of isolation of a free acid radi-
cal, a new and important development
in inoranic chemistry.

Dugald Stewart Walker, teller of
fairy tales, author, and a man much
sought after by children both grown
up and small, will be in Ann Arbor
Friday afternoon, April 28, and will
play his well-known role of "Fairy
Tale Man." He will appear at the
Union under the -auspices of the
Matinee Musicale society.
Mr. Walker comes from New York
where his plays and his stories have
brought him fame. His appearance
in Ann Arbor, according to members
of the Matinee Musicale, will ' give
lovers of fairy tales a rare treat, for
no one else tells them just like Dugald
Walker.
ENGINEERING SCHOLARSHIPS
COMPETITION STILL OPEN
"A. short extension time will be
granted to those who have not yet
consulted with me about the scholar-
ships in engineering offered to mem-
bers of this University by Columbia
university," stated Prof. H. H. Hig-
bie, of the engineering college, yes-
terday. All those who wish to enter
competition ~for these scholarships
should consult Professor Higbie at
once.
The scholarships being granted are
in general engineering. and elec-
trical engineering. They include com-
plete tuition fees amounting to $250
renewable at the end of each year of
satisfactory work. A complete course
in Columbia university will include
two years there after the completion
of an engineering course here or three
years at Columbia after three years
here.
One of the pleasantest methods yet
evolved for saving money, and one
which is applicable to every student
is the purchase of a meal ticket at the
Arcade Cafeteria. It will save from
8 to 10 per cent.-Adv.
Why Not
Learn
to Fly :
IF you cannot fly an airplane, but
have ever entertaindd a desire
to do so, this message should he
of intense interest to you. Espe-
cially is this true of students in
Airplane Engineering - for flying
instruction is a distinct aid in air-
plane design.
LEARN TO FLY THIS SUMMER
DURING VACATION
Aviation is here to stay - and it
has a future even brighter than
many imagine. Already, greater
strides are being made than most
people are aware. Our training of
pilots, which was discontinued on
America's entrance into the late
war, has been resumed - and with
facilities such as were never before
known. It will be great sport for
Michigan students to learn to fly

Defective Vision Overcome
Our ophthialmometer is one of the most scientific eye-testing
instruments in the world. With it we can detect error of vision
instantly.
Poor eyes throw the whole nervous system off balance. It is
impossible to do your best work with eyes that are subject to con-
stant strain in order to perform their daily function.
You will experience almost instant relief when we have fitted
you with a pair of our carefully ground lenses. .The frames or mount-
ings will be made to suit both your ideas of price and of styles. We
can and will recommend only what you should have. Our own lens-
grinding plant on the premises.
