President Marion L. Burton extended
a greeting and spoe briefly of the
need for a women's building. Dr. John
Sundwall talked on physical educa-
tion for women, emphasizing the n-

tal development. Mrs. E. D. Pomeroy
acted as toastmistress at this lunch-
eon.,
Tentative building plans which ar-
rived from Chicago yesterday morning
were displayed at the afternoon ses-
sion of the council. These plans are

ified to meet the needs of the wom-
en's organizations that are to be cen-
tered in the building. f
Pledges Fixed
Reports were read by the chairmen
of standing committees and acted up-
on. After a discussion it was decid-
ed that the $2,400 which is the amount
pledged by groups of alumnae for th
support of the campaign up to June,
1922, be raised by the groups on the
basis of a minimum of $2 per alumna.
It was also decided that each delegate
should come to the June council pre-
pared to pledge a definite amount for
the campaign expenses during the
year 1922-23
The remainder of the session was
given over to a general discussion of
the work of the council.

SAID THAT ARMY AND NAVY
MAY BE UNDER ONE HEAD
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Jan. 21.-Plans for re-
organization of the government de-
partments as worked out by Walter
F. Brown, chairman of the joint con-
gressional commission charged with
that task, were laid before President
Harding today, but were not made
public pending consideration of them
by the President and his cabinet and,
their transmission to congress.
The reorganization proposals are
said to embody recommendation for
the consolidation of the war and navy
departments into, one department,, to
be known as the department of na-
tional defense and for creation of a;
new department to be called the de-'
partment of public welfare
The best information available was
that other transfers to be recommend-
ed were as follows:
The bureaus of good roads and mar-
kets from the department of agricul-
ture to the department of commerce
the forest service from the depart
ment of agriculture to the interior de-
partment; the patent office and th
bureau of education from the interior
department to th new public welfare
department; the coast guard service
from the treasury to the new depart-
ment of national defense; and the
consolidation of all the secret serv-
ice agencies of the government to the
department of justice.
URSE OPEN DEALING
IN FAR, EAST DIPLOMAC
TWO MORE AMERICAN RESOLU-
TIONS ADVOCATE FAIR PLAY,
IN TRADE FIELDS
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Jan. 21.-- Two more
American resolutions based on the
principle of open diplomacy and open
door of commercial opportunity with
China were adopted today by the Far
Eastern committee of th Washington
conference.
The proposal for a show down of
all international agreements affecting
CIina's interests, presented Thursday
.by Secretary Hughes, was given com-
mitte approval only after it had been
"freighted" with upwards of a score
of amendments, the American spokes-.
man insisted tonight that its meaning
had not been materially changed.
Under a supplemental declaration
proposed by Elihu Root and accepted
with little debate, the powers agreed
not to support in the future any en-
gagement designed to create central
spheres of influence of exclusive op-
portunity in Chinese territory..
Taken- together the two decisions
were hailed in American quarters as
beginning a new era of open feeling
and fair play in all that pertains to
china's economic development.

TICKETS FOR VAUDEVILLE TO
BE PLACED ON SALE MONDAY
Final arrangements have been made
'or the annual Union Spotlight to be
given at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday night
at Hill auditorium, and tickets will go
-n sale tomorrow at Graham's, Wahr's
and Slater's bookstores and on the
campus.
Good Talent
The complete program contains
four acts selected from some of the
hest talent on the campus, according
o those in charge of the program.
Many acts -which were being planned
on the program, were dropped in or-
ier to keep down the time to two
hours and prevent any interruption to
school work. The final arrangement
will provide a short snappy evening's
entertainment, without any of the
tiresome "dragging out" of past
-hows.
The first act on the program is a
3inging and comedy feature by
James J. Johnson, '23, who will intro-
duce several new songs, accompanying
Tiimself on the piano. Arthur H. Hold-
en, '24, and Howard B. Welch, '24, will
appear in a "chinning, singing, and
-lancing" skit with Welch unperson-
i.ting a member of the "fairer" sex.;
His ability along this line was ably
proved to all who attended the Union
opera performances.
Music Foremost
Four harmonizers in the form of a
vocal quartette will contribute to the
entertainment of the evening. Paul
Wilson, '23L, Thomas I. Underwood.
'23L, Albert F. Schirmer, '22E, and
Don .C Reed, '23, will sing several
Wchigan songs and popular hits. Top-
ping off this diversified bill will be a
musical act, put on by Myron E. Chon,
23, Paul R. Wilson, '23L, and their
able syncopators.,
FORD OFFER ACCPTABE
SAYS PROFESSOR WHITE,
BETTER BID FOR MUSCLE SHOALS
NOT FORTHCOING, HE
CLAIMS
Speaking before the junior engi-
'eers in room 348 Engineering build-
'ng Friday, Prof A. H. White, head of
the chemical engineering department,
stated that to his mind the govern-
ment would never receive a better of-
fer for the Muscle Shoals plant than
that one recently made by Henry
Ford.
Professor White, as a colonel dur-
ing the war, was for a time in charge
of ;he government nitrate plant at
Muscle Shoals and consequently his
statements are based on first hand
knowledge of the conditions in that
part of the country and the value of
the plant.
By comparison with the Ohio, he
showed the size of the Tennessee
river and its importance to the south.
He pointed out that, except for the
two dams at the Shoals, the Tennessee
was navigable. He called attention to
the fact that the South feels that im-
provements in the river at Muscle
Shoals would benefit the Southern
states. "Fertilizer from the Shoals,",
said he, "is used by the Atlantic coastj
and the Gulf states and these states
feel that a manufacturing plant at,
that place would be advantageous." 1
He spoke of the offer made by Hen-
ry Ford and said that it was doubt-1
ful if a better offer could be made by1
any man or group of men. He said
that Ford's proposition would return
but a small profit on the investmet
and that it would return the property
to the government at the end of 100
years. "I believe," he continued, "that
a better offer will never be made, and
I believe that Ford has made his last,
offer. I believe the government should
accept."

LIBR ARTAN TALKS a
TO WOMEN'S CLUB'
Librarian W. W. Bishop addressed
the Ann Arbor branch of the American
Association of University Women on
"The Library Building" at their meet-
ing which was held yesterday after-
noon. He explained how through the
careful planning of the architects and
the librarians, the building was con-f
structed so as to utilize in the best
possible way the facilities for space1
and light.
In speaking of the required reading_
room, Mr. Bishop stated that its ac-I
cess and convenience saved each stu-1
dent an average of a month during
his four years of college work.
A tour of inspection through thie
Library was made by the association
members that they might better un-
derstand the in-ner functionings of,
the institution.
