THE MICHIGAN DAILY ieY f I rI1 11- . WHUSSE1 TO REACH 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.

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.

Afterl reading which, the seeker of long life decides that persons who live over 90t years-and tell how they do it-are either human chameleons or awful liars.1 The truth is that such people have reached old age by the grace of God and good hick-often in spite of their recipe. One sure way of having more birth- days is to give your body the same treatment that is given an auto. You remember riding with a friend and admiring the smooth hum of the motor. Your friend begins to act queerly. He leans forward, listens races the motor slows down, and then apologetically tells you, "She's not hitting right," and "Hasn't been over- sil1- for a year. Why not treat your own motor, your body the same way? How long has it been since you've had an overhauling? Ten years? Don't wait for nasty lit- tle knocks to develop. Don't wait un- til you're ready for the scrap-pile be fore calling in an expert. It's imol pleasant to learn from the brutal. truth-telling expert that a major ill started as a slight, and perhaps un- known, eeasily-remedied defect. No auto is worth as much as your body. Your physician is the expert. A birthday overhauling increases the number of birthdays. The rest is ur N.S.
