If typhoid fever "broke out" in a certain locality, the sanitarian was sent out with a view of making an inspection of the premises concerned and direct- ing the people to clean up. If diph- theria became rampant, the schools, were closed early and the school- houses received the usual innocuous fumigation. The general assumption was that, germs of disease lurked in dark rooms or filthy alleys patiently awaiting for innocent passersby with the determined objective in view of "jumping onto him." Such was out belief of disease in general and of tuberculosis in particular. Further,. it was commonly held that diseases traveled a long distance through the. air. The term malaria, which means "bad air," illustrates this belief. Hos- pitals for infections diseases were,. therefore, located some distance from the ,city. We legislated against and made pro-- visions for the control of the envir- " inment. Restrictions were made as to the location of. slaughter houses, pigsties,.corrals, etc. Health laws and regulations were in general concern- ed with street cleaning, garbage dis- posal and the abatement of nuisances._ Water purification and sewage dis- posal received consideration. The public roller towel and the drinking cup fell within the ban of the health department. Then we "set up" state and munici- pal boards of health and proceeded to hold them responsible for our health. If an epidemic broke out the invariable public reaction was; "What is wrong with the health dIe- partment ?" On the whole we had become more or less satisfied with the Rpparent success of 'our health' activities. We expended much money and each state, municipality and district in our coun-; try possessed a board of health that w~ou'd "see to it" that health was eaqually disseminated to all our citi- zens. In fact, we openly boasted that America was a nation of super-health and strength. Did not our American youths return from the world's Olympics, wearing the laurels or vic- Torv? Are not the world chamipion- ships in boxing, wrestling and a host cf manly sports held by Americans? What better specimzens of ac;tive and =irile manhood can be presented than the football eleven? Asauredl such evidence bespoke a natIon of un- rivaled physical vigor.

Saturday afternoon, May 20 .At thls time he will play Beetho ven's Con- certo in G major. This pianist was born at Leipsig, Germany, in 1884. His first studies were done privately under A. Rech- endorf from 1891 to 1894, when he enrolled in the Leipsig conservatory, studying here for four years. The next year he studied with Eugen d'Al- bert at .Frankfort. Since 1900 he has made concert tours in Europe, America and South America, with marked , success. In 1905 he won the Rubenstein prize for piano-playing, a prize of 5,000 francs, at which time he was a teacher in the Royal College at Sonderhausen. His first tour of the United States was made from 1912 to 1914. During this first visit to America his success was unusual, for he ap- peared as soloist in three concerts with the New York symphony, tw'o with the Boston symphony, tWo with the Chicago symphony two with the Cincinnati symphony and two each with the Philadelphia and St. Louis symonpies. "He made an im- -pression that will not soon be forgotten," wrote Pierre V..R. Key, an opinion repeatedly expressed throughout the last tour that intro- duced this remarkable pianist to many audiences. SENIORS WIELD KNIVES ON TOPS OF TAP ROOM TABLES -. a Jack-knives have been plied with a will on the table 'tops in the Union top room during the past few weeks, as many of the members of this year's senior class endeavor to make their last "mark" at Michigan.

U U U s UE HE Vice-President of a great life insurance .company who began his career as an agent has this to say -to seniors who are about to, graduate from college:. "If you love work and desire to pursue an honorable, useful and lucrative mission in life this is the business for you to take up. Life insurance salesmanship offers a fine field for the energies of the splendid young men inour colleges. "That this is true is demonstrated by those college men who have taken up life insurance for they have shown that the college man is fit for this kind of a job and that the job also is fit for the college man. "The work ofthe life insurance salesman is distinguished by independence and opportunityfor directinghis own. It gives all possible opportunity for individual initiative and a chance to make an ample income at an age when most fellows are struggling on a wage pittance.: That is the story of one who began at the bottom and reached the top without the help of a college educa- tion.
