Soon after 1 o'clock yesterday after- noon, Mayor George E. Lewis gave the signal for the large doors at the ath- letic plant to be thrown open. Within a short time, a large number of spec- tators were passing up and down the aisles formed by the arrangement of the cars. Many others were seen gaz- ing at the roof of the field house, which is nearly completely hidden by a mass of flags. The red, white, and blue of the na- tion's flag predominate the colors. From the exact center of the roof is suspended a huge dome formed of the flags of all nations. Bunting and other decorative materials adorn the bal- cony and railings while the lower por- tions. of the walls are covered by draperies of soft Arabian colors. The highly-polished cars are ar- ranged symmetrically around the walls of the building and in the cen- ter. More than 115 cars are included in the exhibit, in addition to a num- ber of other motorized vehicles. Sev- eral cut-a-way motors and chasses, electrically operated for demonstra- tion purposes, are being displayed. One of the. feaures is a large speed- boat. The greatest feature of the show last night was the two hour concert by the University band. The show is being sponsored by the Ann Arbor Automobile Dealers' association for the purpose of raising sufficient funds for the support of the band during the current year. The band was situated on a portion of the basketball floor in the center of the house. Athletic: stunts were also furnished by the Uni- versity gymnasium team. It is expected that more than 15,000 people from this and adjoining towns will attend the show during the four days. It will be opened at 10 o'clock this morning and will continue through the afternoon and evening. The same program will be followed tomorrow and Saturday until 11 o'clock Saturday night, when the show will come to an end. The University hand will give concerts every night and Saturday afternoon, and athletic stunts will be offerd by the boxing, wrestling, and fencing teams of the University. The members of the dealers' asso- ciation have been untiring in their ef- forts to guarantee a good financial backing for the band. They are pay- ing all the expenses of the show, in- cluding decorations, displays, and pub- dicity.

The last time this happened a war started. That was in 1914. The next year with three Fri- days the thirteenth will be 1931. Since the adoption of the present calendar in 1761, there have been but 21 such years. One professor, it was reported, told his class yesterday that Friday the thirteenth was too unlucky for him to lecture. He announced a blue-book instead. No professors sufficiently superstitious to eliminate all work' i have started on that day, and it is sel- doin repeated without at least an un- certain flutter which radiates itself from the great financial center over4 telegraph wires and tickers through- out the nation. The first year with three "bad" Fridays under the new calendar sys- tem was 1761. Students of American history have recalled that this was a year of uncertainty and dissension. Every year since then has had at least one Friday the thirteenth. The third and last in 1925 will occur in Novem- . ber.1 FILIBUSTER AGAINST ISLE PINES TREATY DEVELOPES IN SENATE OF German Entrance Into League Would Be Great Test---Frayer If Germany is admitted to the League of Nations, that council will be given the greatest opportunity to prove itself-that it has yet had, in the opinion of Prof. W. A. Frayer of the European history department. "If the League continues to succeed with the presence of Germany, assurn- ing for the sake of argument that that country is allowed membership, it will certainly be a decided step forward,"s Professor Frayer replied when asked his opinion on the subject yesterday. The fact that Paul Hymans, the Bel- gium minister, and Premier Herriot of France both went on record recent- ly as being in favor of Germany's ad- mission to the League, provided no ex-, ceptional grants are demanded by the Berlin government, is "excellent," in Professor Frayer's estimation. "It remains to be seen whether this would dispel some of the friction be- tween France and Germany," he said. "It most certainly should lessen the antagonism. At any rate the member- ship of the Reich government would afford a great opportunity for better relations ?etween the two nations. "There is some danger of overesti- mating the importance of Germany's possible admission, 'however. It ap- pears to me that the significance of the question is in proportion to the League's success. That is, if the council could survive the test, and continue to solve its many difficulties, ,then Germany's presence would be of great import," he said. PENDING 20 YEARS Democratic Senator, Behind Barricade of Documents, Prepares for Week's Argument Washington, Mar. 11.-(By A.P.)- A filibuster against ratification of the Isle of Pines treaty developed late to- day in the Senate when Senator Cope-: land, Democrat, New York, announced that he was prepared to speak for at least several days. Accepting this challenge, Republic- an leaders indicated they were ready to force night sessions to bring to a vote the convention with Cuba, which has been pending for more than 20 years and by which the United States would formally recognize Cuban sov- ereignty over the Isle of Pines. With other opponents of this con- vention, Senator Copeland desires that action be postponed until the new Congress assembles. They take the position that new members of the Sen- ate should have more time to study the question. Senator Copeland served his notice after more than five hours of debate. Previously, he had asked for unan- Dawes' Absence Out Of Harmony With His Policy -BROWN Records show that Wednesday's vote in the Senate on the ratification of Charles B. Warren of Michigan for the attorney generalship of the United States presented the first opportunity for any Vice-President of this country to cast the deciding vote in a senate ratification of a man recommended by the President for a cabinet position, Prof. Everett S. Brown of the political science department stated yesterday. Vice-President Charles B. Dawes, by his absence, failed to take advan- tage of the opportunity, and as a re- sult the Senate rejected Mr. Warren for the cabinet position by one vote. In the opinion of Professor Brown, the incident in which the Vice-Presi- dent failed to cast his deciding vote is of significance because in hid fail- ure to vote, Vice-President Dawes has cast reflection on himself, especially considering his actions when he took I office one week ago yesterday. "Then," continued Professor Brown, "when the opportunity came to him to cast the deciding vote for a cabinet, nominee and insure a positive action in the Senate, he was not present to cast his vote. Although the Vice- President was strong in his attempts to have the Senate support the admin- istration, it would now appear thati Dawes himself was directly responsi- ble for the failure of the Senate to{ ratify the cabinet nominee of the ad-1 ministration."

In ad- POPULAR AS LECTURER Scott Nearing, noted economist and lecturer, will present his solution to the present economic situation in an address at 4:15 o'clock today in the Natural Science auditorium. "Is Wealth Justified?" has been announc- ed as his subject by the Round Table club, under whose auspices the speak- er is appearing. Since his dismissal from the Whar- ton school of the University of Penn- sylvania, where he was the victim of a controversy involving members of the board of trustees and the faculty, Dr. Nearinig has been engaged in lec- turing before labor unions, socialist and student groups, colleges, church- es, and other organizations on eco- nomic, industrial, and , sociological fields. While an assistant-professor of po- litical economy at the Wharton school, Dr. Nearing's lectures attracted more than 500 students to individual coursesI which was at that time an unprece- dented attendance to single lectures at that university., With reference to his dismissal, both members of the board and various school authorities have admitted that Nearing was thor- oughly capable both as a lecturer and teacher. one who was closely connected with the situation arising in 1915. Ilarri- son S. Morris, son-in-law of the found- er of the Wharton school, has claim- (d that Nearing was dismissed not because of his so-called radical theor- ies,, which he expounded within the university, ,but rather because "lhe dared to advocate imd~ustrial and municipal reforms inimical to the pri- vate interests of millionaire members of th libloardl of trustees." Dr. Nearing's radicalism once more Crae to the fore whenofficials of Co- lumbia college deemed itadvisable to stop the lecturer in the middle of an address to the students. Recently the president of Clark college, Massa- chusetts, turned out the lights dun- ing one of Dr. Nearing's lectures to the students and while the audience 1 remained in darkness, diLputed at l length some of Nearing's statements.

The telegram reads: The American Relief association, retired from Russia at the end of gen- eral famine conditions. The students and intellectuals have-suffered more than the others in the economic de- bacle of that country, and have con- tinued to suffer. The ultimate re- habilitation of Russia depends upon them to a large extent. "I am much gratified to know that the Student Friendship fund has con- tinued this phase of relief in Russia, and can heartily give my unqualified support to its continuance.
