Bur- ton and representatives of the Uni- versity and State Medical society be- come realties. Dr. Hugh Cabot, dean of the Medi- cal school, Dr. G. Carl Huber, of the Medical school, Dr. John Sundwall, head of the departments of public health and physical education, and Prof. W. D. Henderson, head of the extension division, represented the University. Dr. W. J. Kay, of Lapeer, president of the State Medical society, and Dr. J. B. Kennedy and Dr. Angus Mc- Lean of Detroit, represented the med- ical profession of the state. They also form the executive committee of the State Medical society's committee on legislation and public policy. Meeting Result of State Action The meeting was the direct outcome of the action taken by the State Med- ical society at its annual meeting in. Bay City, at which it committed itself to a bampaign of public education along medical lines. The aid of the state board of health and certain state-wide voluntary health agencies will be requested in carrying out the -program. The University, through its exten- Three elaborate Settings Built For Comedy Club 's Play, Pygmalion" Comedy club play, "Pygmalion," to' be given here Jan. 18, will include three distinct and elaborately con- structed stage settings, contracted for by 0. S. Davis, of Detroit, who has been for some years general stage de- signer for Comedy club productions.) The settings will include the portico of St. Paul's cathedral at midnight in a London fog, a decidedly ornate re- ception room of the mid-Victorian, period, and (particularly familiar to University students) a professor's lab- oratory, that of Henry Higgins, who is carrying on research work in pho- netics. "Pygmalion" will be the first of Bernard Shaw's plays to be attempted by amateurs at the University. Almost every member of the cast has taken prominent parts in previous campus dramatics, including several previous leads. The play will be presented in several Michigan cities following its presentation here, by permission of the committee on student affairs. Jackson, Battle Creek, and Grand Rapids may be included in the tour, and-it is possible that the invitation to take the play to Port Huron will be accepted for the semester vacation. sion division, will co-operate public health agencies by with the placing more emphasis in future upon lec- tures from the Medical school. The plan which will probably be followed calls for a program commit- tee to assemble a bureau of speakers from members of the University Med- ical faculty and prominent physicians, surgeons and public health experts of the state. The subjects to be discussed are to be stripped of technical verbiage, and wherever possible will be accompan- ied by moving pictures and lantern slides. "For ages it has been deemed high- ly unethical for members of the med- ical profession to speak of their work," said Dr. Kennedy, "but the medical profession generally has come to the conclusion that the public should be told something of the work of modern medicine. It believes that the public has not been informed of the tremendous strides made by this science within the last 35 years. We must carry the information to those whom it will benefit most." To Be Approved in January The work of the joint committee will be submitted to the board of coun- cillors of the State Medical society and to the Regents of the University in January for their approval. The com- mitte present at the deliberations Tuesday will continue to function. As a first step in the carrying out of the new plans, charaqterized by President Burton as being one of the most sig- nificant steps ever attempted by the University, a program committee. composed of Drs. Cabot, Sundwall, McLean, Kennedy and Professor Hen- derson, was authorized to begin at once the work of selecting speakers and subjects. Harbdr Club Plans Holiday Work Steps to further the interests of the University in their home city, and to place before the present students of the high school there the advantages of the "greater Michigan" were taken at the regular meeting of the Harbor Springs club last Sunday afternoon in Lane hall. James A. Starr, '24L, was chosen leader of a group to work actively in the home community during the com- ing vacation. PHYSICAL IRICTORS TO MEET IN BATTLE CREEK DR. SUNDWALL, DR.

OR, BIRN5UW TELLS OF COLONIES OE HOLLND Holland is represented among the nine powers gathered at the conference at Washington due to her colonial pos- sessions in the Far East, was the con- clusion drawn by Dr. A. J. Barnouw, Queen Wilhelmina professor of Dutch literature and art in Columbia uni- ,ersity, in his talk, "Holland's Col- onial Expansion," yesterday afternoon. Dr. Barnouw pointed out how the colonial expansion of Holland is in- tricately bound up in the careers of two companies. the Dutch East India company and the West India company. Through their efforts colonies were -stablished and trade relations were maintained which have given to Hol- and her reputation in the world of commerce and trade. Dr. Barnouw showed that while there have been some blots in Ho1- 'and's colonial policy the good that has been accomplished has far off- set this, and if the time should ever come when the natives should at- tain competence to manage their own affairs, Holland will undoubtedly grant them their freedom. FORESTRY MOVIES AT 7:30 TONIGH' Moving pictures featuring the pro- duction, value, and logging of white pine will be shown at 7:30-o'clock to- night at- the Natural Science auditor- ium. The films which will be used have been obtained from the department of agriculture, at Washington, through the efforts of the forestry faculty of the university. Effects and results from blister rust, illustrated in these films, will make them of interest not only to foresters, but to other departments in the Uni- versity, it Is said. The public is in- vited.

DEAN ADDESSES 1221; COMMITTEES NAMED DISCUSSES DUTY OF ENGINEER; URGES MEN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of the enginering college discussed the re- sponsibility of the engineering pro- fession with regard to the relation be- tween the public and public utilities at the senior engineers' assembly yes- terday morning, atawhich committee appointments were announced. In the past, said the dean, the en neer considered his duty the inven- tion and construction of utilities, such as the railroad. After they were bul' his responsibility was considered a' an end. The ensuing complete misun- derstanding between the utilities ar' the public was in considerable meas- ure the fault of the engineering pr fession, he stated, because of the eng' neers had not used their training in assisting in the operation of these utilities and keeping the public in- formed of the real factors involved. Dean Cooley urged the seniors to take their responsibilities in thisrmat- Aer seriously to heart. G. W.

ALUMNUS WORKERS MEET Men Organize for Subscription Drive During Christmas Vacation Prospective campaigners for sub- scriptions to the Michigan Alumnus. official publication of the Alumni as- sociation of the University, met at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday night at the Union with Wilfred B. Shaw, '04, man- aging editor of the Alumnus, for the purpose of organizing and getting pointers on how to solicit the alumni of their respective territories during the coming vacation. The men planning to do this work will receive compensation for every subscription taken and every man se- curing more than 50 signatures will receive a bonus of $5, while the high- est man, providing he procures more than 50 subscriptions, will receive an added bonus of $10. "At the present time our circulation is more than 7,500 copies per week. I have -no doubt that the campaigners will bring the total up to 9,000, the necessary quota, but there is no rea- son why the Michigan Alumnus should not have a larger circulation than any other college alumni magazine in the United States. We have more alumni by far than any other university or college in the country and with the Alumnus in its new form the news contained in it is fresh and interest- ing and the magazine can be of dis- tinct service to every alumnus of Michigan. The Alumnus should have a circulation of 15,000 copies within a a.r" a Ar . h... RAILMEN WOULD FIGHT TEN HOUR- DAY WITH STRIKE NEW YORK WORKERS WILLING TO RISE AGAINST NEW RULING COUNCIL ADVISES MEN TO WAIT FOR ORDERS Grand Vice-President Roberts Says Action Is Only Hope for Labor (By Associated Press) New York, Dec. 14. - The action of the United States railroad labor board in Chicago yesterday in setting up a schedule of 10 hours a day :s the reg- ular hourly wage for common labor- ers in new rules replacing the nation- al agreement made under government control today brought to union offi- cials appeals for strike orders from representatives of 30,000 workers in the New York district. Roberts Makes Announcement This announcement was madegto- night .by William D. Roberts, grand vice-president of the united brother- hood of maintenance of ways em- ployes and railway shop laborers. Roberts said that the New York council had advised local chairmen to hold their members at work and await ,action by international officers. He explained these orders had been has- tened out to forestall sporadic strikes and that a meeting of the district council would be held as soon as word was received from the internationa offices. Only One Hope Asserting that there seemed to be no justice in America for the common workman, Roberts in a formal state- ment to union members continued: "There is only one hope for these men now that the prayers of capital have. been answered. And that is action. Labor is the sole property of the la- borer and no power on earth can com- pel them to utilize it unless it brings a fair return." Holiday Gargoyle Pleases Camp us With its atmosphere of Yuletide maintained from the three color cov- er to the ,department of "Foolish Finds," its cleverly done parodies on Christmas carols and St. Nicholas, and its brilliance of campus wit, the Hol- 'day number of the Gargoyle found favor with the students yesterday when its first day's sales equalled, if not surpassed, sales for November. "A Visit from St. Barleycorn," is a parody on "A Visit from St. Nicholas." The narrator, hearing a clatter of hoofs on the lawn, rushes to the win- dow and is greeted by the sight of "eight reindeers attached to a hogs head of beer." The bucolic old saint departs advising the narrator to "re member St. Barleycorn when you are tight." "Ain't it the Weeds" is the impas- sioned outburst of sonie homesick lad who seems to be thoroughly disgusted with the unrequiting labors of gain- ing a college education. "The Conquest of the Bull Pen" set forth the intriguing adventures of Sir Bastian Fathead, champion of verbos- ity. "Heaven's Ward" is a didactic epic treating with the successful flirt- ation of a stranger with a Michigan opera chorus girl. The stranger, how- ever, is completely crushed later when- he arrives at the stage door just in time to see his chorus girl clad in male attire rushing off to meet "her" best girl. GALENS CHOOSFS TWELVE JUNIORS Galens, honorary upperclass medi- cal society, elected the following 12 junior medics to membership yester- day: J. H. Labadie, S. E. Doolittle, W. W. Babcock, J. W.

Handel OPERA TRIP SALS BEAT OL 0RECORD Reports of Box Offices Show Many Houses Nearly Sold Out at Present Time DIRECTORS SAY SUCCESS DUE TO COSTUMES AND DANCING Unprecedented success on the road trip of the 1922 opera, "Make It For Two," is predicted by all advance in- dications from theaters and alumni as- sociations along the route. Seat sales already reported from box offices ex- ceed any records of previous years and in several towns the houses that will be played in are already nearly sold out. The costuming and dancing in this year's opera are declared by the di- rectors to be the chief cause of it favorable reception last week by Ann; Arbor audiences. The thousands of dollars put into these adjuncts of the production are considered to be well invested by the Union management since the professional atmoshere de scribed by critics is attributed by them to these features. Committees have been appointed by he Union to assist alumni associations+ In opera work but all students are1 urged to take pat in the general ad ertising of the show. A number ot towns are to be visited in which Mich- gan productions have neve/ before appeared and successful performance 'here can only be assured by co-oDera- tion from all students who are at home during vacation. Players Present Two Plays Well Intelligent interpretation charac- 'erized both the plays presented by Players club last night in Sarah Cas- well Angell hall. In "Sham" with its clever lines, by Frank G. Tompkins, Jack Holden, '22, pleased the audi- ence with his easy manner. Adele Zim- merman, '22, as Clara, the wife; and Nayf Bashara, '23L, as Charles, the husband, exemplified the sham in the socially aspiring American family. David Gilchrist, '22, was the typical reporter. Wendell Hanselman, '23, as Strick- land, in "The Finger of God" by Per- cival Wilde, was especially good. Esther Welty, '23, School of Music, as the girl, and Milton Klee, '24, as Ben- ,on the valet acted their parts effec- tively. - Between the plays two solos were given by Estelle Cozlne, Grad. An in- formal reception followed the pro- gram. ff. MARCEL CLAVEL TELLS OF FRENCH UNIVERSITIES M. Marcel Clavel, of the romance language department, discussed the French student, his studies and man- ner of living in a lecture given under" the auspices of the Cercle Francais, yesterday afternoon in Tappan hall. M. Clavel told of the educational sys- tem from the primary grades to the universities, emphasizing the fact that in the latter the student assumes the. entire responsibility for doing satis- factory work. French universities do not foster sports, although games are occasion- ally held by the students, states M. 'M'SAWARDED0 TO ATHLETES AT BIG MEET LAST NIGHT COACH AND TEAM MEMBERS MET WITH ROUSING CHEERS MOVIES OF FOOTBALL PLAYS GET OVATION Professor Aigler Tells of Experiences While Student; Mentions Cross Country Coach Fielding H. Yost and his war- riors were rewarded with a rousing ovation last night at Hill auditorium when insignia were awarded to mem- bers of the different athletic teams. C. H. Darley, '22L, was chairman of the meeting, while A. L. Cuthbert, '22E, in- troduced the speakers. Thomas E. Dewey gave a group of songs which were followed by slides of the foot- ball "M" men. Motion pictures showing the best ways to execute certain plays by Coach Yost were followed by scenes taken from the Ohio State game. The pictures were made most realistic by cheering of plays and the band play- ing the "Victors" Coach Fielding H. Yost was greeted with wild enthusiasm. He paid high tribute to the six men who have play- ed their last game of football for Michigan. Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman bf the Board in Control of Athletics, told of some of his experiences curing his years as a Michigan student, empha- sizing how cross country used to at- tract from 100 to 200 runners each year. "Duke" Dunne, '24L, expressed his feelings in a short snappy talk con- cerning slackers and critics. Captain-elect Paul Goebel, '23E, as- sured the student body that the team would do their best to put Michigan at the top of the football world. J. Fred Lawton, '11, composer of "Var- sity", urged everyone to "fit into" Michigan life and activities. He led the crowd in singing Varsity and used his famous "Mob scene from the Ju- lius Caesar" and the "giant sneeze", to rouse spirit. A complete list of insignia awards will be published tomorrow. MUSICAL CONCERT HAS YULE SPIRIT (By M. Frances O'Hara) Mellow candle light, Christmas trees and a vested choir singing Christmas carols imbued the audience at the Matinee Musicale program yesterday afternoon at the Union with the true Yuletide spirit. Anthony J. Whitmire and Mrs. Lor- inda" S. Clifford charmed their listeners with their duet, Grieg's Sonata No. 11, Opus 13. This selection displayed Mr. Whitmire's mastery of his instru- ment,, his finely conceived tonal con- trasts and that audacious brilliancy of his style. In the adagio movement by Ries the serious atmosphere of - the number was lightened by the sweet- ness of the melody, but the "Valse Bluette" by Drigo-Auer captivated the audience by its lilting and' severely beautiful melody. The Christmas carols were'beauti- fully sung by the triple quartet. Es- pecially liked were "Jesu, Thou Dear Babe Divine," a Haytian cradle song, and Zandonal's "Ave 0 Maria." As accompanists, Mrs. Lorinda S. Clifford and Mary Louise Maxwell dis- played exceptional ability in matching their work with that of the soloists. GIFTS TO HOSPITALS WILL BE COLLECTED I , Oraginsations or individuals wishing to make donations of clothing, trees, or gifts to be used at the hospitals are asked to call Mrs. J. F. Breakey, 1504, either tonight or'tomorrow morn- - ing, in order that arrangements may be made to collect the ar- ticles.
