Army, and Admiral Charles Plunk- ett, commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard was declared to have demanded that immediate steps be taken against producers of the play. According to members of the Fed- eral attorneys staff the general an the admiral, complained that the drama with its profanity-besprinkled portrayi of life with the Marines aboard during the world war "cur- tailed enlistments and in that way vio- lates the national defense act."

The English classes, she says, she has no use for, but she admires Booth; Tarkington's "The Crisis," and has read Seventeen about seventeen times. Her favorite picture is "Monsieur Beaucaire."

FREIGHTER LOST ON LAKE HURON1 Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 25.-Although A. E. R. Schneider, general manager of the Margaret steamship company owner of the whale back freighter Clifton was still hopeful tonight that the vessel with 28 aboard and more than 72shours overdue at Detroit would show up, lake men here prac- tically have given up hopes for her safety. Steamers which have been re- quested to search for the vessel in Lake Huron and Saginaw bay in hope that the Clifton would be found in a sheltered cover safe behind a pro- tecting island have found no trace of the Clifton tonight. NEWYORK WOEN RUNS FOR STATE SECRETARY1 SELL SEATS TOMORROW' Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, it has just been announced by the Ann Arobr branch of thve American Association of University Women, will appear for a return engagement un- der their auspices Tuesday evening, October 7, in Hill Auditorium. Paul Whiteman. has recently gain- ed special fame on account of his patronage of modern American music, j particularly the more advanced forms of syncopation. His concerts last year in Aeolian and Carnegie Hall, New York City, met with the greatest enthusiasm from the critics, and his appearance here late in the spring caused a furor in Hill Audi-4 t o r i u m w h ich has seldom been equalled. All seats for the Paul Whiteman concert will be unreserved as before, and will be placed on sale tomorrow, morning at Graham's, Wahr's and I Slater's book stores, the University Music House, and Schaible's and Grinell's music stores. The entire main floor and the first four rows in the balcony are priced at $1.50, while the remainder of,the seats in the house will be $1. The committee in charge urges pa- trons to buy their seats in advance to avoid the inevitable last-minute rush , at the box-office. The committee also wishes to announce their apprecia- tion of the co-operation of the Uni- i versify School of Music and Mr. Sink, through whose courtesy the concert has been made possible. The entire proceeds of the enter- tainment will be donated to the pro-) posed Women's League Building. Antiquated Art Presented For Entrance Credit Humorous bits of correspondence helped to make the routine and irk- some work of the officials in charge of registration last week more bearable. A letter was received in one of the offices which shows that an ancient an antiquated art is returning to its own in one of the far western institutions of learning. It was a letter contain- ing the credit statement of a young woman desiring to transfer from that institution to this University. Listed in this statement was a course en- titled "Elementary Clothing" for which three hours credit was given. The description of this course showed that its purpose was to teach the members of that course the ways and means of dressmaking. Credit for this U hIHAI LVVRJ LIIINL~ PRESIDENT STANDS DEFINITELY IN FAVOR OF PUBLIC SOVEREIGNTY COURTS DEFENDED Speaks in Philadelphia at 160th Con- tinental Congress Celebration There Philadelphia, Sept. 25. (By A. P.)- Proposal for government ownership of railroads and other public utilities was denounced here tonight by Presi- dent Coolidge, "as uneconomic and I encroachments upon our rights." Speaking at the exercises in com- memoration of the 160th anniversary of the meeting of the First Cotinental I Congress, Mr. Coolidge also renewed his assault on suggestions to limit the power of the Supreme court and urged that the people resist encroach- ment of their rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution. "If we wish to maintain what our fathers here established," he declared, F "we shall do well to leave the people in the ownership of their property, in control of their government, and up der the protection of their courts." Predicts Tax Loss "It is difficult," the president said, referring to government ownership of railroads," to reconsile the American ideal of a sovereign people capable of owning and managing their own government, with inability to own ant manage their own business. r "Furthermore" he declared, "it would mean a loss in public revenue estimated at $600,000,000 a year with a resulting increase in the tax on farmers of from three to 40 per cent. Mr. Coolidge devoted most of his address to a discussion of the early history of the country, 'and the birth of the constitution after the organiza- tion of the First Continental Congress.. Defends Constitution Referring to the deliberations of this Congress, the President asserted that, "if we could better understand what they said and did to establish our free institutions, 'we should be le< ,likey tta be mislead by the mis- representations and distorted argu- ments of the hour and be far better equipped to maintain them." He drew a lesson from the declara- tion of the Congress as showing "the superority of moderation and candor over violence and deceit in seeking a solution of difficult public questions." "The constitutions, "Mr. Coolidge pointed out" is a devise for maintain- ing in perpetuity the rights of the people with the alternate extinction of all privileged classes." 'NEW OFICERS ADDED T9 RH 0 T. C, STAFF' Michigan's R. O. T. C. unit, under the supervision of Major W. T. Car- penter, is ready to renew its activi- ties and from present indications this year's enrollment will surpass that of any previous year. To last year's staff will be added two new officers, Capt. L. M. Bricker and 1st Iieut. A. T. Schlosberg. The personnel of the unit will be made up of four departments, th coast artillery corps, signal corps, infantry and ordnance department. The band, under the direction of Wilfred Wilson, director of the Uni- versity band, will again form part of the unit. Full information as to enrollment 'and transfer from other units can Faint, but insistent, the rumor has spread about the campus that this year's crop of feminine beauty far 'surpasses the standard set by other years. Impossible as it may seem, on every hand came the query, " Iave you seen her? Boy, some bim!" To ascertain whether this unheard of improvement was merely another myth, soon to be relegated to the for- gotten past, along with the Union swimming pool and other dreams, or an established fact -this was the problem. The first man encountered in the search for inside information was the great memory expert, Rail- road Jack. "Are the girls getting prettier?" asked Jack. "Well, there was one queen. Cleopatra, born 68 B. C., was born beaiutiful, but faded in her last years, due' to her life of dissipation. She was the wife of Mark Antony and had * * * *" And he was off in a cloud of smoke, with all the oratori- cal flourishes of the finished mem- ory expert. Realizing that these queens of Michigan were far too young to in- terest Jack, the search was carried' farther. A flower shop in the Arcade was investigated, for beautiful ladies get beautiful flowers, thus furnishing a barometer on feminine pulchritude. Sure enough-"More sales than ever before," was the verdict. "We have gotten in five shipments of roses, totthing 2000 flowers, as compared with three at this time last ye3ar." I That the boys at home are missing these youthful proteges seems to be indicated by the fact that post office officials unofficially report a larger volume of mail, while Western Union refused to even divulge the secret of how many telegrams arrive a day! In a last effort to determine the truth, a pianist much in demand at sorority teas was located, and his opinion sought. And the answer was found. "Yep, on the whole they're better," was the verdict. "Some real beauties have been frequenting these sorority wrestling matches. "But,"-in a con- f I d e n tial whisper-"a lot of 1 st year's are still with us!" 3 AUMNI CGLBS P LANACTIVITI ES~ Lansing Alumni To Form Club Night Before M. A. C. Game; Muskegon I To Hold Outing BANQUET AT ELMIRA Three alumni clubs in different parts of the country are planning activities for the near future, rang- ing from a week-end of duck hunting to an organization meeting. The Uni- versity of Michigan club of Muskegon is staging the week-end outing Oct. 3 and 4, while Lansing alumni plan to form a club, Oct 10, the night be- fore the M. A. C.-Michigan game at East Lansing.I W. S. Foster, '02L, is in charge of the arrangements at Lansing. It is1 hoped that all alumni and students visiting in Lansing that night will at-' tend the meeting. The entire club of Michigan men will attend the game the. following day, a block of seats having been reserved in the Michigan stands.. A hunting lodge on Blue Lake camp has been reserved by the Muskegon club for 80 men to participate in the outing. In addition to duck hunting there will be games provided, 'while a pep meeting is planned following the dinner Saturday.l The University of Michigan club of Elmira, New York, is also planning a gathering in the next few days. This will take the form of a combined banquet with the Cornell alumni club of Elmira. It will be held at the Cold Brook Country club. In addition there will be a ball game in the afternoon between representa- tives of the two Universities. It is the hope of the alumni of the two schools that their alma maters will meet on the gridiron by next fall. They are working also for additional resump. tion of relations in athletics between the two schools.

P.-In- dications that the far eastern coun- tries, especially China and Japan would st, nd together in insisting on all of their rights before the League of Nations was furnished by tonight'sj session of the League. Japan came out squarely in favor of granting Cirina a seat on the council in the! league as a great Asiatic party,. thus giving expression to Jpo-Chinese solidarity. Persia also backed China's insist- ence that the great geographical di- visions of the world, the principalt races and the chief sources of wealth should all be recognized in the dis- tribution of council seats and urged China be given a seat because Asia is the largest continent in the world, containing half the human race. Through the unanimous adoption of a resolution favoring the location of seats on the basis of geographical division, it would seem likely that the p r e sent number of non-prominent seats, which is 6, would be increased so as to include China and perhaps some other countries. PHARMACY MEETING' Higher standards for pharmacists and in pharmaceutical training were emphasized at the annual convocation of the pharmacy college which was held last night in the chemistry build-i ing. Dean E. I. Kraus opened tht meeting and asked for a greater co-j operation between the students and faculty in raising the standards ofr the pharmacy college. Members of the faculty spoke on different departments of the school, and the importance of the new sys- tems which were inaugurated during the last year. Intelligence tests will be given to all students entering the college for the first time.
