the committees which have been

Among senators and representatives
generally there was considerable dis-
cussion and conjecture with the reviv-
al on the house 'side of talk about a
clashing of annual appropriation bills
as a means of providing the necessary
finances for the bonus.
With the executive known to look
with disfavor on either the suggested

their campaign with renewed vigor

They were said to be hopeful that the
President would suggest this kind of

to Chairman McCumber of the senate

Thus far the program, partially
drawn up, contains some of the best
acts that have ever been on by mem-
hers of the club in 'the annual per-
formance, according to Edwin Beres-
ford, '22, in charge of the work this
year. All of the acts will be given by
the different sections of the club in
the -native costume of the country rep-
resented. Thus, the management aims
to show the dress and customs of for-
eign lands.'
-An Hawaiian act will be among the
leaders on the bill for the evening,
while acts under the Japanese club
and tire Chinese club will furnish a
glimpse of some real Oriental acting.
An Indian sword act, which has been
arranged, will probably furnish the
thrills of the evening. Music and
dancing, both of which will represent
the arts of the foreign worlds, will be
included, on the program.
Dutch Cellist Is

DEANS SATISFIED WITH
CONDUCT OF 198 J-HOP
Satisfaction over the conduct
and management of the J-Hop
was expressed by the deans in
their conference which was held
yesterday morning in the office
of the President.
The official statement issued
was that the Junior Hop was
entirely satsfactor and was a,
Breaking all previous sale records,
the J-Hop issue of Chimes had pass-
ed the 1,000 mark by late yesterday
afternoon.
Variety of content was the outstand-
ing feature of the February Chimes.1
With an attractive cover in three
colors, depicting a scene at the J-Hop,
and an issue full of interesting fea-
tures, the campus awoke to the fact
that there was something good on the
campus that bore investigation.
In the past, Chimes sales have been
below 900. Yesterday, however, more
than 1,000 copies had been sold by
late afternoon, very few extra copies
remaining.
Shows Fine Effort
Taken as a whole, the J-Hop num-
ber of the Chimes shows a splendid
effort ,of the staff to put out a maga-
zine of first quality and they have
succeeded in producing an issue
worthy of representing Michigan
among like college monthlies of the
country. Taking its name from the
social function of last week, the
monthly devoted a laige share of Its
space to"the discussion af the J-Hop,
past and present.
HI6HNIY CONFERENCE
CONTINUES SESSIONS
ROAD SURFACES AND DRAINAGE
DISCUSSED AT MEETINGS
YESTERDAY
,fRoad surfaces, drainage, and snow
removal were the topics discussed dur-
ing yesterday's meetings of the
eighth annual conference on highway
engineering, which is being held here
this week under the auspices of the
college of engineering of the Univer-
sity. Gov. Alexander J. Grosbeck ad-'
dressed Tuesday evening's smoker at
the Union.
Today's meetings will. be devoted
largely to the interests of the road
commissioners of the state.
Governor Groesbeck's talk was
largely a review of the work of the
state administrative board, which was
formed during his administration.
Prof. Arthur H. Blanchard, of the
highway engineering department, pre-
sided over yesterday morning's meet-
ing. Paul D. Sargent, chief engineer
of the Maine state highway commis-
sion, discussed bituminous surfacing
of gravel roads. State investigations
with regard to dust prevention on
gravel roads, and the preservation of
road surfaces, were the topics treat-
ed by Prof. Herschel C. Smith, of the
highway engineering department of
the University.
Charles M. Upham, state highway
engineer of North Carolina, compared
sub-drainage of roads by deep side
ditches and tile drains, at the after-
noon meeting. Charles J. Bennett,
Connecticut state highway commis-
sioner, discussed organization, man-
agement, and methods of snow re-
moval from country roadways.
M'atinee Program
wShows Technique
And Varied Skill
(By 3. Frances O'Hara)
Exact technical skill, a tone finely
drawn and precise,.and absolute clar-
ity distinguished the Bach-Tausig Toc-
cata and Fugue as played by Miss Ava
Comin at the Matinee Musicale,, yes-
terday afternoon at the Union. Equal-
ly good was Miss Comin's interpreta-
tion of the Chopin numbers: Noc-
turne, opus 72, No. 1, and Ballade, opus
47, the latter wining particular favor
in its delicately beautiful melody,
which gradually leads to a brilliant
ending.
Miss Ensworth charmed her listen-
ers with her warm, flowing voice. The
skill of a well schooled singer was
evinced by her singing of "Lungi dal
Caro Bene" by Secci, while "Fulfill-
ment" proved her ability to touch the
imagination of her audience.
Variety was added to the program
by the selections of the Glee and Man-
dolin club. "At the'Brook" by the
Mandolin club was thoroughly enjoy-
ed. The clever "Ole Uncle Moon" cap-
tivated the audience as the favorite se-
lection of the Glee club.
As aconipanist, Gage E. Clark, '22,
gave proof of excellent ability.
Admitting at the outset the excep-
tionally poor quality of the fiction
contained in the issue, which shows
plainly either the scarcity of good
writers on the campus, or their re-
luctance to aid the efforts of the
Chimes staff, the issue more than com-
pensates its readers in the excellent
and timely articles that compose the
bulk of its reading matter.
Reviews Arms Conference
"Great Men at the Arms Confer-
ence," by Herbert S. Case, which opens
the issue is a lively review of the im-
pressions of- the Japanese delegates
to the conference as seen by Yasaka
Takagi, a Michigan graduate student.
The side-lights the article throws on
the big men of the Arms confrence
are instructive and entertaining. Be-
low this article in box form are the
names of the Michigan men at the
conference /including that of "Prof.
Rene Talamon, of the French depart-
ment.
Then the article by Earl D. Babst,
'91, reviving old Michigan memories,
which though entertaining, is obscur-
ed more or less in the traditional haze
which seems to feature all stories of
the days that used to be. Mr. Babst
creates an interest which he fails to
satisfy, although his evident intimate
association with our present mentors
in their youthful college days is some-
thing to awaken interest.
"The Black Sheep Baas," by G. D.
E., points out the astounding ignor-
ance of the men who are guiding our
litergry thought through the columns
of the daily papers and, 'hints, rather
broadly, at a like incompetency in our
American universities.
Review Olio State
Passing from these more serious
articles, the reader has an opportunity
to view another, university through
eyes that are familiar with its life and
work. "Ohio State," by M. Bowerman,
Jr., the first of a seires of four critical
surveys of other schools which Chimes
proposes to make, serves its purpose
but incompletely. Then George E.
Sloan's "Half a Century of J-Hop His-
tory," is a complete review of the es-
tablishment and working of this func-
tion. "On Ice-Michigan's Hockey
Prospects" is another article which
ranks equally with the preceding one
in both its treatment and value.
Finally two pages of timely photo-
graphs, an editorial section which
tells all about Chimes, and a cever
book review by R. D. S., make this last
issue one of worth while interest tol
the campus at large.

OPERA OPENS NEW
THEA TER FRIDAY
"Make It For Two" Seat Sale Starts
at Union Playhouse This
Morning
PROF. H. A. KENYON TO GIVE
TALK BEFORE CURTAIN RISES
Formalities at the grand opening of
the Mimes Union theater tomorrow
night will include a dedicatory address
by Prof. H. A. Kenyon, of the romance
language department. Professor Ken-
yon will speak briefly before the cur-
tain rises at 8:15 o'clock on the
Union opera, "Make It For Two,"
which is billed for the opening of the
new theater. Committees working on
the opening plan to make the occa-
sion a gala affair, the opera perform-
ance to be only one of the features
of the evening's performance.
Mimes Quartette to Sing
Between acts the Mimes q'uartette,
composed of Albert F. Schirmer, '22E,
Thomas I. Underwood, ,'23L, Paul
Wilson, '23L, and Lloyd Kemp, '22,
will sing "Michigan 'Memories," the
song that made the biggest hit with
alumni while the show was on the
road.
Every seat in the house will be re-
served, which obviates the necessity
of any line forming for the 500 seats
tomorrow evening. The ticket sale
will, open at 10 o'clock this morning
at the Mimes theater box office, which
can be conveniently reached either
from State street or Jefferson street.
The sale will be continuous until the
performance begins.
Final Touches Added
A large force of stage hands was,
busy yesterday puttin'g up the new
scenery, and adding the final touches
to make the theater complete for the
opening. Both front curtains of the
opera will open in the middle and
draw to either side, instead of being
raised into the.loft. The latter method
had to- be followed in some of the ci-
ties in which the opera played on
tour, showing that the Mimes theater
has stage facilities equal to those in
the larger theaters.

HAS SPE1 T MOST OF LIFE
VAGABONDING AROUND WORLD
Harry A. Franck, '03, who will de-
liver his lecture, "Oriental South
America," "at 8 o'clock tonight in Hill
auditorium ,under the auspices of
the University Oratorical association,
has "safely earned the reputation of
being the greatest and the most
unique American traveler."
Started as Student
Mr. Franck has spent his life in
searching out interesting people and
learning their peculiarities at first
hand. Starting while a student in
eollege, he hoboed his way around the
United ,States during the vacation
periods, paying his way by doing work
as a carpenter, harvest hand, and cel-
lar digger. During one of these trips
he crossed the Atlantic on a cattle-
boat with only $3.18 in his possession,
but yet by working here and there he
managed to visit Londoil, Paris, and
arrived back for school but two weeks
late.
Since leaing school, Mr. Franck
has wandered around the entire
world, mostly on foot. In this way he
covered in four 'years more than 5,000
miles. on his trip through South
America and gained the experiences
upon which his talk will be based. His
books have received recognition and
are characteristic of his life: "A Vag-
abond Journey Around the World,"
"Four Months Afoot in Spain," "Vag-
abonding Down the Andes" and
'Roaming Through the West Indies."
Helped in Hayti Difficulty
It is said that Mr. Franck's writings
concerning the affairs a's they 'eally
existed in Hayti materially helped to
clear the situation caused by the al-
leged indiscriminate killing by the
American Marines in the Black Re-
public.
Prof. A. G. Canfield, of the romance
language department, will give a din-
ner in honor of Mr. Franck, following
which he will introduce the speaker
at the lecture..

gan track teams and the Wisconsin
