Washington, Oct. 28.-Approximate-
ly $9,000,000 will be expended by the
American Red Cross during the fiscal
year ending next June, for the relief
of former service men disabled dur-
ing the world war. Since the care of
former soldiers and their dependents
has the first gall upon Red Cross serv-
ices, the national body will spend
$3,030,692 for such relief, and with ev-
ery chapter practically adding to the
relief, the total will reach the esti-
mated figure. The funds will be used
for services. the Federal government
is not .authorized to render and for
which it has neither funds nor facili-
ties.
Care of the ex-service men and
their famllies is regarded as a pri-
mary Red Cross responsibility, and

NEW OPER"ESBJDRN

By Lee A White
Editorial standards of the Michi-
gan Daily in 1922, as compared with
those of a dozen years ago, are a com-
pliment to the student' public's taste
as well as to the zeal and capacity
of those who have the publication in
charge. Whether the format of the
Daily is simply an echo of the de-
nand for space occasioned by a broad-
er editorial policy does not matter.
When the small city dailies of the
country equal this college product in
average excellence both as to appear-
ance and content, their readers will
have ocasion for self-congratulation.
Better Standards Estabjished
Earlier generations of editors were
wont to charge the student body with
indifference to news of the world at
large, and to c-infine themnselves to
campus affairs strictly. No doubt a
good deal of the Associated Press mat-
ter to which present. day staffs give
discriminating attention is slighted by
some of the readers; but there is
warrant for the faith that what is
persistently served will eventually be
consumed. The resricted policy of
the older Daily was not wholly the
desire of the editors; space limita-
tions were more aggravated and the
resources of the treasury were no
more equal to the demand than were
printing facilities. But despite this
justification of earlier policy, it must
be admitted that with the passing of
years better standards have been es-
tablished, and a way made for their
realization.
News Sources Broadened
The technique of editing cannot im-
prove greatly because the experience
of the sub-editors is always limited
to the college generation; and they

By Norman H. Hill
From a six page paper of five col-
umns to a rage, to a real newspaper
that runs eight, ten and twelve pages,
is real progress. In my years on the
business end of The Daily we had to
fight for advertising patronage, es-a
pecia'ly for foreign business; now it
comes without great effort, apparently,
because the advertising agencies have
been taught that college newspapers
are the finest kind of mediums for
certain products. I am struck par-
ticularly with the mechanical improve-
ments in the raper, the modern make-
up, the excellence of the advertising
typography and the impression one
who knows newspapers gets that this
advertising space is bought and paid
for and the cony carefully prepared
because it is a first rate-business in-
vestrment.
:No Smoking"
An evidence of the advancement
wrought through the years is the fine
and modern publication offices shared
by The Daily with the other student
publications. Some of the old-timers
miay look askance at the sign which
warns against smoking, but it is sug-
gestive of the fact that work and notI
play comes first. There was a gen-
eration of newspaper workers who be-
lieved in pigsty surroundings and the!
"typical" newspaper office of the ro-I
mantic novel and motion picture is
a paper-cluttered bedlam, but the coldl
facts are that a neat and business-likeE
office is reflected in a pleasing and
intelligent make-up and in well-edited
copy. The Daily is, therefore, to be
congratulated upon its unusually pre-
sentable home, and all that it implies.)
New Location, Control
It was during my time that The
Daily moved from inadequate quar-
ters downtown to the Press building,
and at the same time came under a
certain measure of adult supervision
and faculty control. Some of the joys
and thrills of those pioneering days=
are gone, perhaPA, but the finished
product is much superior, from a busi-
ness and mechanical standpoint, and
Michigan alumni, as well as Michigan
students, may well take pride in know-
ing that their university boasts a de-
cidedly creditable newspaper which'
is, it may be mentioned incidentally,I

Northwestern university, author and
lecturer, will be the principal speak-
er at the opening banquet of the Re-
ligious Institute's program of relig-
ious education tomorrow evening at
the First Baptist church. The relig-

weekly from Nov. 7 to Dec. 5 under
the auspices of the Student Chris-
tian association.
Six courses will be offered, as fol-

following the supper.
Prof. Richardson reecived his B. A.
degree from Lawrence college :n
1902, and his Ph. -D. degree from Bos-

make its showing profitable.
Promoters of the invention see a
possibility, however, of some day mak-
ing this type of film eliminate the ne-
cessity of having orchestras in movie
theaters.
"Phonafilms" Shown"
Two special showings have been
given in Berlin recently in which in-
ventors revealed their achievements
in making sound synchronize perfectly
with the movements pictured on the
screen. Besides a demonstration dur-
ing the middle of August at which a
number of newspapermen were shown'
the "phonofilm" of Lee de Forest, ofl
New York, there was recently exhib-
ited before several hundred invited"
guests the "Tri-Ergon," an acoustic
film invented by Hans Vogt, Dr. Jo
Engle,'and Joseph Massole.
Five devices form the backbone of
the "Tri-Ergon." They are the kath-
odophon, or "electrical ear"; a spe-'
vial amplifying conduit; an ultra-fre-
quency lamp; the photoezlle, or "elec-
trical eye." and the statophon, orr
"electorical mouth."I
Synchronization Difficult;
Seven transformations are accom-
plished in order to effect synchroni-
zation of sound and movement in the
film. The sound waves to be repro-
duced are first transformed into elec-
tricity; the electricity is converted
into light; the light is changed in
two separate stages into the silver
blackening of the negative and positive
"lms; these in turn are retransformed(
into light; the light again becomes1
electricity, and finally the electricity
produces the vibrations conveying
(sound.
The "electrical ear" naturally is the
first apparatus to come into play. Its
outstanding feature is an ordinary
metal funnel in which the sound
waves are converged to pass through
a nozzle. Opposite this nozzle is a
glowing rod through which a stream
of electricity courses.
Sound Changed to Light
As the rod becomes heated it in-
influences the surrounding air sodthat
this is "ionized," making it capable
of conducting a current. Secondary
electrical glimmers thus appear bridg-
ing the space between the nozzle and
the rod. These flashes represent the
electricized sound waves.
These waves are magnified by the
special amplifier and are fed to a
vacuum lamp. The latter is of such
construction that it reacts to anyl
sound, covering wave intervals all the
way from only 16 to as many as ten
thousand a second. Its rays produce
small strip-es along the side of thel
film. These stripes represent the
sounds and run through the film in
exact coincidence with the movements
in the picture. The interval between

HOGAN COMMENDS IDEA
OF INSTALLING GALLERY
Says Institution Ought to Ispire
Pride And Respect in
Students
A "Hall of Fame" containing the
portraits of promnient alumni of the
University will be installed by the
Michigan Union in its building, ac-
cording to plans formulated at the
last meeting of the board of direct-
ors.
The gallery proposed will contain
the photographs only of those mer
whose names have been passed by the
board of directors of the Union.
Many names,, such as that of Henry
Carter Adams, Secretary of Navy
Denby, Harry M. Daugherty, and oth-
er prominent national figures have al-
ready been suggested as candidates
for the "Hall."
The idea has been under considera-
tion some weeks, but has only recent-
ly been planned on, final sanction be-
ing given to the plan Friday after-
noon. Carl T. Hogan, '20E, former
president of the Union, in a recent let'
ter to Homer Health, general manager
of the Union, suggested that "it would
have the effect of developing in the
student body a keen knowledge o the
prominence of their alumni an'd a
passionate pride in all things Michi-
gan".and that "it would be a Mecca
for visitors in the building, and a
source of pride and inspiration to her
sons".
The installation of the gallery will
begin as soon as possible after te'
arranging of all the details involved,
according to Thomas . Underwood,
'23L,"president of the Union.

CLASSIFICATION BY TRADES
WOULD ADD EFFICIENCY
Washington, Oct. 28--Examination
by army officers of Notes taken during
the recent conference here with a sel-
ected group of civilians as to princi-
ples which should govern any future
military draft regulations has brought
out several distinct features which
the conferees were agreed should ap-
ply to the classification of enlisted
personnel.
For one thing it was the judgment
of the civilian conferees, all of whom
had war-time draft experience, that
work necessary in the army should be,
classified by occupations in order
the classification of men called to the
colors could be expedited and their
assignments be based on the similar-.
ity of their civil training and military
work they were best fitted to perform.
It was also believed that the classi-
fication of men should begin when
they were called by local draft boards
and not await their arrival at mobil-
ization centers.
Another point brought out was the
difficulty of dealing in the army with
men of low mental caliber. A sugges-
tion was made that the regulations
should preventsuch men from being
called for active military service.
The conferees were in harmony al-
so as to the desirability of using men
available only for limited military
service from the beginning of the -op-
i eration of the draft law and not de-
ferring such cases for later treat-
ment.
To meet the problem of dealing
E with limited service men and occupa-
tional specialists the suggestion was
'made that clearing pool centers for
each of these groups might be estab-
dished an d that ithe excess from the

various local boards could be turned
over to these pools for further as-
signment. The plan would work es-
pecially well in distribution of spe-
cially qualified occupational special-
ists, it was held.
