Mci1ntt;,i i ho H as Been Searching for
Observatory Site Sails
Feb. ';
EXPPeITION INTO AFRICAN
J__NTERIOR PROVES SUCCESS
Prof. W. J. Hussey, director of the
astronomical observatory, who has
been seeking a site in South Africa for
the University's new 27-inch telescope.
sailed from Cape Town Feb. 7 and ex-
pects to arrive in Ann Arbor about
March 15 according to lettersreceived
yesterday by President Marion L
Burton and Prof. R. H. Curtiss, as-
sistant director of the astronomical ob-
servatory.
The expedition has been a success
according to Professor Hussey and the
oxperiments have proved that the con-
ditions in South Africa offer the most
remarkable sites for astronontical. ob-
servatories.
Bloemfontien, British South Africa
offers the best site of any which Pro-
?essor Hussey has located. He expo'ct
to mount the telescope Wednesday.
Feb. 13, 1924 upon naval hill, so-call-
ed because the British had naval guns
there during the Boer war. The site
is the flat surface of a rocky plateau
about 400 feet above the surrounding
level,
Professor Hussey said that weather
conditions around Bloemfontien are
unusually good. Only ten percent of
the nights have been cloudy during
his stay there, while according te
Professor Curtiss fifty percent of the
nights here are cloudy. Prolonged
rains do not often occur and most of
the rain comes in the form of thun-
dershowers. During his 39 ;lays there
1rofessor Hussey has seen only one'
shower. This was the regular rainy
season. The clouds of dust in this diy
country settle very quickly leaving the
air quite transparent. This condi-
tion is very favorable to astronomical
experiments.
Work on the 27-inch objective is pro-
gressing favorably. At the request of
the University, Prof. F. Schelinger of
the astronomy department of Yale un.
iversity inspected the objective while
hu was inspecting some work which is
being done at the factory in Pitts-
burgh for his University. He reported
that the work was progressing satis-
factorily. The factor has assured the
University officials that the objective
will be completed early in May.

SUBJECT OfORED'S BOOK'
Prof: Thomas H. Reed, of the polit-
ical science departjnent, is the authoi
of the latest of a series of Govern-
ment Handbooks, published by the
World Book company of Yonkers, N'
Y. The book is entitled the "Govern-
ment and Policies of Belgium". This'
series of books of which Prof. Reed ir
an editor together with Prof. David
P. Barrows of the University of Cali-
fornia, was started before the World
war and, as the editor's introduction
states, "was rudely interrupted by
it".
Prof. Reed secured his material on
Belgian soil by taking up his resi-
dence in Brussels in the winter of 19-
22. In his preface the author, in ack-
nowledging his indebtedness, tells that
his sources of materials were Belgian
manuscripts in Belgian libraries, in-
terviews with leading Belgian profes-
sors, discussions with party leaders
as well as with the heads of the city
governments.
Professor Reed is also the author of
several other volumes including
"Form and Functions of Citizenship."
Final arrangements have been com-
pleted for the University Glee club to
enter the mid-western schools com-
petitions to be held Monday, Feb. 18
at Chicago. The club will leave that
imorning by special train and will sing
in the contest with thirteen other con-
ference and midwestern schools: The
winner of these competitions will go
to New, York city, and 'will compete
with the eastern schools in the com-
petitions to be held at Carnegie hall
early in March.
George Oscar Bowen, director of the
club, has chosen the twenty-four men
who will represent Michigan at the
coming contest. A public recital will
probably be given by the organiza.
tion this Sunday in Hill auditorium!
before the club leaves for the compe-
titions.
The Thursday following the club's
return from Chicago, the organization
will take a week-end trip over Wash-
ington's birthday, playing in Kalama-
zoo and Ailegan. Booth's dance or-
cihestra of Ann Arbor will accompany
the club, and will furnish the music
for the dance following the Kalamazoc
concert.

Work on a new drill hall for the R.

of the present office building formerly'
occupied by the highway engineering
department and the evaporator labor-
atory. A new floor is being put in the'
large space which will be used as a
drill roon and an assembling point
for all members of the unit during the
winter months and at such timhes as
the weather is not suitable for outdoor
drilling.
it is expected that a rifle range will
be established in the building for in-
door firing by the company teams.
The space will be suffilently large, it
is thought, for an entire company to
practice movements and formations
until such time as they will be able
to train in the opeo.

in the summer excursion and tour of in-
dustry that will be conducted by the
Harvard School of Business Adminis-
tration. Th trip will cost approxi-
mately $400 and will last four weeks.

industries and mines in the northeast-
ern section of the United tSates, trav-
eling in a chartered car.f
The tentative itinerary foir the trip
is to visit a few of the larger indus-
tries of New England first, then pro-
ceed to Pennsylvania, thence to West

sota, returning by way of Chicago and
Detroit. Further information about

A New Banded Black 'en
e4 Special 'en for Students
Has large ring that links it to your note-book
or a pocket-clip-Free
THE idea of a super-smooth medium
priced pen with good ink-capacity
and a large ring-end to link to the ring of
your note-book originated with students
themselves. We acknowledge our indebt-
edness, and we know their idea is a winner
for wherever this new Parker 0. Q. has
been introduced it has stepped right off in
the lead of the medium-priced class.
Moreover, this Parker D.Q. is produced
by the makers of the Parker Duofold-
everywhere acknowledged as the fountain
pen classic. Not only in craftsmanship, but
in all mechanical features save the color
and point, it is like the Parker Duofold.Yet
even the point of this $3 Parker D.Q. is 14k
gold, tipped with NATIVE Iridium and
polished to the super-smoothness of a
costly jewel bearing. The cap is reinforced
by a strong metal girdle - the only pen
we know of, of equal size, at less than $5
with a banded cap.
Try this new Parker D. Q. at any near-by pen
counter. It is your idea of a pen - made to the
students' own specifications.

You like to grasp a pen like this. It's
big. It's husky. It looks strong, reliable,
long-lived. And it is.
This new Wahl Signature Pen is a won-
der for college work. It never needs prompt-
ing. You don't have to. shake it. Touch
that flexible point to paper and the ink
starts with your thought.
The Wahl Comb Feed regulates the flow
so perfectly that the ink never floods. The
ink capacity is enormous.
And the everlasting nib-it's a marvel.
It suits itself to any writing style. Just
seems made for your band. It is heavy
14-karat gold. Tipped with the hardest
and finest grade of iridium that money
can buy. Experts say this ccrlasting nib
is the finest made.
Another big idea-clipped in pocket,
purse, shirt-front, or notebook, the Wahl
Signature Pen will not leak. The patented
cap-construction asaures this. The gold
band you see around the cap prevents
splitting.
There are two big sizes at $7 and $5-
one for men, one for women. Ask for the
Wahl Signature Pen. Other Wahl Pens
from $2.50 up.
