welfare work in the University hospi-
tal and at the Y. 4. C. A. camp. The
organization has been pressed for
funds for some time, and each member
was urged to formulate a plan where-
by the necessary finances might be
raised, and the above suggestions
were among those forthcoming.
Jay G. Pray proposed that the clubf
build two new houses, and before the
neeting had closed other members
volunteered to ofier the materialsJ
needed. One member olTered two lots,
and most. of the materials will be;
donated at cost, while others offered ;
their services. Among the things
donated were: plans, sewers, trucking
service, lawyers' services, fire insur-;
ance, excavation, lunches for workers,
paint, varnish, and wall paper.
Largest Number
Of High Winds
Comes In March
March of all months in the year still
continues to hold the record for high j
winds, although the biggest wiii( ever
actually measured blew across MountJ
Washington on a January day,
This record was niade Jan. 11, 1878.
when a velocity of 186 miles an hour
was recorded on an official anemom-
eter there. But high winds reach
their greatest number in March, par-
ticularly in the country east of the I
Mississippi river.
"How strong was the wind" is aa
question often asked after a destruc-
tive storm. The American NatureJ
association says the answer is liable
to be misleading, for it is almost al-1
ways stated in terms of speed rathera
than force. The force of a wind canJ
be indicated accurately by saying
what pressure it exerts in pounds per
square foot upon a surface at right
angles to its path.

cially designed salvage ships were
sent to the scene with the hope of
being able to carry out" their purpose.
Members of the expedition have come
to London for additional supplies and
diving apparatus and, according to
their reports, 63 ships were lost on
which there were gold, precious
stones and statuary which the Turks
had removed from Greek towns.
The treasure had been taken on
board the fleet for transport to Turkey
when Admiral Cod'rington in 1827 en-
gaged the vessels in battle and sank
most of them. The bay where the
work has been started is about four
miles square, with rock bottom and
a maximum depth of water of approx-
imately 180 feet.
New Type Planes
AboutCompleted
Four new specially-designed army
ambulance airplanes soon will be plac-
ed in commission, if tests now in
progress prove satisfactory. One of
the selected models has been received
at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, and is
being put through its paces. Prelimin-
ary reports indicate that it will meas-
ure up to requirements.
The new plane is capable of flying
100 miles an hour and has accommo-
dations for two patients, the pilot and
a flight surgeon.
While the army jealously guards
structural secrets of its other air-
craft, it makes available to other na-
tions information regarding ambu-
lance airplanes. England, France,
Czechoslovakia and Sweden have ina
turn supplied the American govern-
inent with information regarding med-
ical aeronautics.

The Bureau of Mines, under an act
passed in the last congress, will take
over from the navy about July 1 the
production of helium, the gas used
in inflating the giant dirigibles Los
Angeles and Shenandoah. This
transfer is not expected by Dr. S. C.
Lind, chief chemist of the bureau,
to involve any marked change in
policy.
'No' appreciable quantity of helium
is being exported now, and the new
law provides that export applica-
tions must be made to the secretary
of the interior and permission ob-
tained from the President, on the
joint recommendation of the secre-
taries of war, navy and interior.
This provision was put into the law
to permit future American trans-
oceanic air lines to have a supply of
helium on hand at their foreign ter-
minals.
Officials of the bureau are careful to
point out that the new bar against
helium exportation will not militate
against foreign scientists who desire
a small quantity of the gas for their
laboratories.

Joseph Tborngren, 'who wields the;
broom anld mop no longer, and
some of his wvork.
Galesburg, Ill, April. 9.-Genius
that has beep dormant in Josephn
Thorngren for decades has at last
flamed anew.
Thorngren, until lately a janitor,
has cast aside his broom and mop,
and is again an artist, having attain-
ed fame overnight as a sculptor and
painter.
Talent in his youth, which attract-
ed attention in Sweden, his native
land, led Thorngren to go to Italy,
where he studied under great artists.
Dissipation, however, ruined what ap-
peared to be a brilliant career, and lie
came to the United States, discourag-
ed and penniless.
To support himself, he worked as a
janitor and in other menial occupa-
tions.
Now, at 62, he is giving evidence
that the deft touch of his early days
has not disappeared.
Specimens of his work in sculp-
ture and painting created comment in
art circles. and caused George S.
Dole and Ben Cable of the Chicago
Art Institute to provide him with a
studio.
Thorngren's busts of Harding and}
Pershing demonstrate talent in clay,

Perched high on a tree limb on
South University avenue recently, a
ruffled grouse excited the admiration
and wonder of a crowd of passersby.
The bird had been there for quite
awhile, evidently resting from a long
flight, when its presence was called
to the attention of a member of the
zoological department. The latter
procuredla gun and the bird was
slaughtered.
This is the first time a ruffled
grouse has been seen around Ann Ar-
bor in the early Spring, Fall flights
not being uncommon.
