made at it o'clock and 45 minutes
later, after 300 blue jackets from the

Officers of the dirigible declared
that the Shenandoah had not been

minor repairs would be necessary to
fit the airship for its trip back east:
Commander Za rachy Lan sdowne said

to take the Shenandoah direct to the

aboard this afternoon.
TIEMANN GIS TAlK
ON AUSTORALAN FOESTS'
H. T. Tiemann, of the U. S. forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis-
consin, was the speaker at a meeting
of forestry students last night in the
Natural Science building.
"The Forests of Australia" was the
subject selected for the address, but
in order to make it more interesting,
Mr. Tiemann gave a travelogue, il-
lustrated by many slides he obtained
during the seven and a half months
he spent in Australia in 1921, at the
request of the Victorian government.
He touched upon the forestry prob-
lems of Australia and mentioned the
queer varieties of trees and fruits
found there. Pears of solid wood, and
cherries and native plums which
have the pit on the outside are among
the more remarkable of their fruits.
Mr. Tiemaun is a Yale graduate in
forestry, and has been directing most
of his attention to kiln drying, on I
which subject lie is an authority. 4
Rooms In Union
Are All Reserved~
All the guest rooms at the Michi-
gan Union have been reserved for
this week-end according to officials
of the Union. Reservations enough
to fill the rooms were received by
the Union last summer. The reserva-
tion list is also full for the week-
end of the Northwestern and Iowa
games. To aid alumni who return
for the game a list of rooms availa-
ble near the campus has been com-
piled and may be consulted any after-
noon from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock at
the committee booth on the main
floor.
Club To Present

The production of "The Hero of
Santa Maria" by Ben Hecht and "How
le Lied To Her Husband" by Ber-
nard Shaw, announced for public
presentation this evening by the
Player's Club in Sarah Caswell An-
gell Hall, will be open only to mem-
bers of the organization upon presen-
tation of their membership cards.
A private performance has been
made necessary through the illness of
several members of the cast. A pub-
lic performance, however, of this pro-
gram will probably be offered Novem-

Opera Orchestra
Needs 6 More Men
Six more men are needed in the
orchestra, for the Michigan Union
opera. Fourteen men have been picked
so far but a 20-piece orchestra is to
be used this year, the largest the
opera has ever had.
The instruments yet needed are a
flute, clarinet, drums, French horn,
trumpet, and bass viol. Any students
wishing to truout for the orchestra
may do so at 7:15 this evening in the
Mimes Theater, where Mr. Shuter, the
director will meet them.
FIRST ON COURSE
Speaker Makes Sport of Popular Ideas
About Frozen Country; There
Are no Snow-Houses
"Some of the terrors of the Arctic
are really there, but the real ones are
such that they can be conquered,"
said Vilhjalmur Stefansson, famous
Arctic explorer and lecturer, speak-
ing on "Abolishing the Arctic," in the
opening lecture of the 1924-25 Ora-
torical series last night in Hill audi-
torium. He was introduced by Pres-
ident Marion L. Burton, who official-
ly opened the course.
"It is impossible to go beyond the
flowers, the butterflies, and the bum-
ble-bees unless you climb a moun-
tain," the explorer said in conjunc-
tion with the statement that there
are 140 varieties of flowers within
the Arctic circle. "There is nothing
so fundamentally believed by the
average man as that the tropics are
always hot, the temperate zone al-
ways medium, and the Arctic always
cold," he added.
Mr. Stefansson opened his lecture
'ith the statement that about 450
years ago there lay to the southy of
Portugali a "boiling ocean," and to
the west a "sea of darkness and of
terrors." Prince Henry the Naigator
and Christopher Columbus abolished
these ideas, "even as far-seeing men
are now trying to "abolish the Arc-
Weather Really Temperate
(The speaker then told of how the
ancient Greeks had believed that the
polar regions started at the Alps, and
of how that supposedly frozen regio
gradually retreated through France
and Germany, Scotland, the Scandi-
navians, and Russia until today "e
think we see a frozen land just be-
yond our own horizon." He said, "To-
dcay I am a great hero for doing in
the Arctic what as a boy I did daily
in going to school. It all depends
on the advertising you get.
"The United States has had a
weather bureau on the nortiern tip
of Alaska, 300 milex above the polar
circle, on and off for 40 years, and
the lowest temperature ever record-
ed was 54 degrees below zero. In the
summer it is 90 degrees above zero
in the shade every year, and some-
times 95 to 100 degrees <above" he
said.
Stefansson pointdd out that there
are places in the ten perate zone that
get colder than the polar zone, as in
Montana, North Dakota, and some of
the Canadian rrovinces, and also
places that get hotter than the trop-
ics, as in Death Valley, California.
The difference that he emphasized is '
that we don't know how to fight beat,
while there are numerous ways of
coinbatting cold.
"Mountains, no matter if they are
in the tropics, will be covered by
snow if they ar l high enough, 'and
likewise no lanti, even that in the,
polar zone, can possibly be covered
with snow and ice in, the summer if
it is at sea level," the explorer ex-
I plained. "Where you find any place
in time Arctic that is not covered by
vegetation it is either too high or the
soil is not suitable" he added.
Vegitariaiism Coming
The speaker made sport of -several
popular misconceptions, among them
the belief that all Eskimos live in
snow houses. He said that more than
half of all the living Eskimos had
never either seen a snow house or
knew what one was, and that a large
part of those had only seen pic-
tures of them. Mr. Stefansson said
that the snow house is one of his
favorite kinds of houses, but that very
I few Eskimos have them.
"We are marching toward an inevit-
able vegitarianism," the speaker said.
"But there are four or five millions
of square miles where you cannot
raise grain, but on which the reindeer,
whose meat has become both popular
and expensive in New York City,
thrives readily." That this meat would
I find its way to the world markets
was combined with the statement that
"the polar region is surrounded on
every side by dense population."
Mr. Stefanssonsalso talked for a
short time on world air routes, the
disputes, and several new angles, of
the Wrangle island case, and on the

FOR FATAL EXPLO IN'
Washington, Oct. 21. (By A. P.)-v
Thrree experts of the bureau of ord-'
nance were ordered to Norfolk late
today to assist in the inquiry on
board the cruiser Trenton as to the
cause of the explosion yesterdayI
which killed 6 and injured more than;
a dozen other members of the crew!
of that ship.
The'details were made public by!
Secretary Wilbur when officials at
Norfolk reported they were unable to
find the slightest clew of the cause
of the catastrophe. The only theory
advanced in communications to the
department that powder charges be-
ing hoisted to the gun may have
caught and in some way become ig-
nited by friction. So far as could be
learned at the department the records
of the navy showed no parallel acci-
dent.
The officers sent from Washington
were commanders Harvey Delano and
Garritt Schuyler and chief draughts-
man D. A. Chadwick:
