White, superintend- ent of St. Elizabeth's hospital at Wash- ington, the government's insane asy- lum, and one of the most renowned psychiatrists in the country today, will speak at 8 o'clock tonight in Uni- versity Hall on "Some Broadening Vistas of Modrn Medicine." His lec- ture constituteshthe firstof a series of four to be held under the auspices of Alpha Omega Alpha, national hon- orary medical fraternity. Soon after his graduation from Cor- nell in 1891, Doctor White became a member of the medical staff at the State Hospital at Binghamton, N. Y. After remaining there for eleven years he took over, the superintendency of St. Elizabeth's hospital, and has re- mained there up to the present time. For more than 20 years Doctor White has been a professor of nervous and mental diseases, teaching at both Georgetown and George Washington universities. He has written many books on the subject of psychiatry, among them being "Outlines of Psy- chiatry", "Mental Mechanisms", "Prin-. cipals of Mental Hygiene", "Thoughts of a Psychiatrist on the War and After", and "Foundation of Psychi - atry." Doctor White is the co-editor of sev- eral textbooks, an also the co-editor of the Psychoanalytic Review with Dr. Smith E. Jelliffe of New York. He is also noted for the large number of contributions he has made to various medical journals. Doctor White will be made an hon- orary member of Alpha Omega Alpha at the initiation banquet of the so- ciety to be held at 6 o'clock tonight' at the Union. Princess Believes Smoking Does Not Harm Modern Girl Princess Cantacuzene said last night in an interview that she was an admirer of the "modern girl", and pointed out that she is in many ways superior to her sister of a few years ago. "I admire the 'modern girl' " said the Princess, "and I believe she is accomplishing more in social work, charity work, and moral work than her 'old fashioned' sister. The 'mod- ern girl' chooses to work and be in- dependent rather than sit at home. This has elevated her status, and she has not been cheapened by it. "Women now have political rights, and as a result, engage in politics. On the average they are a good influ- ence." In commenting on the customs of the "modern girl" to bob her hair, powder her face, use cosmetics, fre- quent the beauty parlor, she said that these practices have not cheapened the girl to any extent. "If a girl wants to bob her hair or powder her face I think that she has a right to do it," said the Princess, "but I have two girls and neither of them have bobbed their hair nor do they make a practice of using cosmetics. I don't like to see a girl bob her h'air when it is long, beautiful, and abundant." "Do you think it is all right for the 'modern girl' to smoke?" she was asked. "That all depends," she answered, "in Europe where it is commin for women to smoke there seemes to be no harm in it. In this country, how- ever, it is not a recognized custom, and when girls smoke they do so with a spirit of deviltry more than any- thing else. I have smoked on differ- ent occassions and I did nt feel that smoking had any effect upon my be- havior." LUDINGTON. -- Ludington spent: $112,584.36 this year in paving seven streets with asphalt. K. B. Ollson, Birmingham, was the contractor. Al similar program is being discussed for 1926. Discussing the electrical defects of large-scale transmission systems as the techncal part of his talk, Mr. Alex Dow, president of the Detroit Edison company, is scheduled to give the main speech at the smoker of the Michigan branch of the American In- stitute of Electrical Engineers at 8S o'clock to-night in the Union. The major part of Mr. Dow's talk will be of a general, rather than a technical nature, Reuel D. Layman, '26E, gen- eral chairman for the affair, an- nounces. Humorous readings by Frank L. Sawyer, Grad., and slight-of-hand acts by N. Dwight Smith, '26D, are also included on the program. All electrical engineering studentsf and others interested are invited to attend. A nominal price of 35 cents will be charged.I WARING'S STAGEI DEBUT WAS HERE Ann Arbor was the scene of the first stage engagement of Waring's Penn- sylvanians. Three years ago, after furnishing the music for the J-Hop, the orchestra played for four days at the Majestic theatre, and began its first appearance on any stage. Since that time, the orchestra has gained a world-wide reputation, appearing at the leading theatres from coast to coast, and recording a large number of selections for the Victor company. In its original stage engagement here, nine men composed the orches- tra; now there are 13, and in two weeks the number will be increased to 20, preparatory to playing in con- junction with- pictures for the Balaban and Katz theatres in Chicago. TURKEY LOSES MOSUL DECISION By Associated Press) Geneva, Dec. 8.-Turkey lost the first round tonight in the battle for Mosul. The council of the League of Nations, despite a vigorous Turkish protest and even a threat to leave Geneva immediately, unanimously vot- ed to accept the consultative opinion of the World Court as a guide to its settlement of the problem whether Mosul will go to Great Britain as part of rak mandate, or to be handed over to Turkey. The World Court has declared that the council has a clear right definitely to determine the Mosul frontier. Tur- key voted in the negative when the ballot was taken, but President Scia- lola announced that neither the vote of Turkey nor that of England could be counted, in pursuance of the terms of the covenant. YOST ADDRESSES SAGINAW CLUBS Fielding H. Yost, director of inter- collegiate athletics, spoke before a meeting of the combined community clubs of Saginaw last night, on the subject of "Michigan Athletics." Coach Tad Weiman, assistant director of athletics, was in Saginaw last night, where he addressed a meeting of the local Rotary club. Two addresses will be delivered by Coach Yost today, the first at Ypsi- lanti, this afternoon, and the second at the banquet in honor of the Ann Arbor high school football team and the coaching staffs of the high school and the University, which will be held at the Chamber of Commerce Inn to- night. His subject on this occasion will be "The Six Big Plays of the Year." SERIOUS By OBJECTIONS RAISED INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE DECISION MONDAY Delayed RThshing as Failed In Other Colleges. Comumittee Considers Three Plans Regulations governng fraternity rushing, under any plan in which the pledging of freshmen is deferred for any period of time, offer the most serious objections to such plans, ac- cording to members of the committee of the Interfraternity council which, has investigated conditions at otherj universities and which strongly recommend the continuance of the! present system of rushing at Michi- gan, in a report to the council last( Monday.1 There are three systems of regula- tions possible, according to the com- mittee's report. The first would bar all rushing until a period approxi- mately two weeks before the first pledging. Such a rule would be diffi- cult to enforce, in the opinion of the committee, and would lead to endless accusations and hard feelings between fraternities, each of which would feel that the other was breaking the rule, in spirit, if not in practice. Long Iushing Period nipractical Another method would permit rushing over the entire period, which would probably mean from Septem- her to Feb'ruary. Such a system would lplace a heavy burde, both in the matter of time and finances, on thej fraternities, and would detract the, attention of the first year mian from 7his studies (luring the mrost critical period of his college career, the com- mitteemen believe. A third system, that of permiting each freshman to visit the same house but a certain number of times, such as twice a month, would he hard to enforce, and would have almost the same effect on a popular freshman, especially the athlete, as a system permitting rushing all fall. Letters received by the Interfra- ternity councl;, in answer to inquiries on the situation, show that in many schools where a system of deferred ru wshing is in force, tile fraternities j evade the issue by having men pledg- ed by a third party, such as the chap-, ter alumni group, after they are voted on by the active chapter. The fresh- man then wears his pledge pin in his pocket until open pledging is sanc- tioned by the university. Such a con- dition, Jackson Stith. '26, president of the council, declared, "is little better than the 'snap' pledging that is now common on the campus here." "ill IDecide 1(a.y Michigan fraternities will decide the question as to whether the present system shall he continued or a new deferred pledging plan adopted, when their delegates vote at the specialf me ceing of the Interfraternity council next Monday at the Union. A9LPHA DOMEGA ALPH INITIATES TONIGHT1 SENIORS RAISE OVER $100,000 IN FIRST DRIVEL Raising over $100,000, the officials of the 1926 Literary Class Memorial Fund campaign declared themselves i satisfied with the progress made at the close of the first part of tie cam- paign last week. This fall, the memorial committee initiated the innovation of raising the necessary funds for the class mem- orial gradually, instead of completing the class finances during the final year the members are in college. Ac- cordingly, the annual senior class dues were reduced nearly 60 per cent. It was thought that an advantage would be thus obtained in permitting the members of the class to make payments after they had graduated. The insurance-plan fund of the pres- ent graduating class matures in 1946 when the bi-decade banquet of the. members will be held. The recom- mendation of the project committee will be received at that time. This committee consists of Dean John R. Effinger of the literary college, Prof. Harry C. Carver of the mathematics department, Harry G. Messer, presi- dent of the class, Richard H. Frey- berg, and J. Glenn Donaldson. They will investigate and report that place where it is thought the money can be used most advantageously. 1. APPEARSFRIDAY Louis Graeure, Famous Singer, here As Third Number In Choral Union Series HAS WIDE REPERTOIRE Louis Graveure, famous baritone, who will appear on the third number of the Choral Union series, will make his first appearance in Ann Arbor at 8 o'clock .Friday evening, December 11, in Hill auditorium. Mr. Graveure was born in Belgium, but educated in England. He was first trained as a sculptor and archi- tect, but also as a sailor, explorer, gold seeker and fisherman. To this varied experience may be attributed much of his remarkable success as an interpreter of a wide rangs of songs. His American debut was madi 1915, and since that time he has re- sided in New York. His wife, Eleanor Painter, is also well-known as the star of many opperettas. He is especially individual in that his repertoire includes an unusually wide range of numbers. Richard Al- drich, music critic of the New York Times, has said of his work, "Lovers of fine singing will regret that the song recital of Louis Graveure was announced as his only New York ap- pearance during the season. There is need of more of the kind of sing- ing he does, and Mr. Graveure has steadily gained in artistic power since 'lie first made himself known here. In quality of voice, in phrasing, in dic- tion, his singing is a great source of enjoyment." His Ann Arbor concert will include a wide selection of German, Fench. Italian, and Irish folk-songs, as well as several opera arias. PICTURES RULEDf OUT BY 'ENSIAN BROADCAST TALKS FRAYER TELLS OF ADVANTAGES FOUND IN ADHERENCE TO WORLD COURT ORCHESTRA PLAYS Professor Hobbs ExplfalIns how Great Storms Of Europe Originate ' In Arctic Regions" Radio listeners last nikht had the opportunity of hearing addresses of scientific, political, and university in- terest given by representatives of the faculty and alumni groups. Prof. William H. Hobbs of the geology de- partment, Dr. Wilbert B. Hinsdale, professor emeritus of medicine and custodian of Michigan archaeology, Mason P. Rumney, president ' of the Alumni association, and Prof. William A. Frayer of the Iristory department, made up the list of speakers on the fourth "Michigan Night" broadcast be- tween 9 and 10 o'clock from Univer- sity hall. Variety was added to the program by the inclusion of a number of popu- lar dance selections played by the Women's league orchestra, which is composed of Gwendolyne Wilson, S. of M., Angelene Wilson, '27Ed, Mary Alice Case, '28, Audrey Wells, '28, Eugenia Van Kammen, '28, and Mar- garet Purdy, '27Ed. "The World court, now five years old, is an acknowledged success, de- clared Professor Frayer in a talk on "International Co-operation-The Next Step." "Our adherence would as- suredly add greatly to its prestige and usefulness. The advantages to the rest of the world and to ourselves would be admittedly great; the risks negligible. And yet, faced by all these facts, and despite the consistent ad- vocacy by leaders of both. great politi- cal parties, we are not a member na- tion." Court Worth While "The World court," Professor Fray- er continues, "is the most immediate- ly available of several agencies for the furtherance of international good will. It cannot prevent all future wars, but as a means of decreasing the likelihood of war, it is worth a million times all that it will ever cost. BEGIN PLANS ON NEW STRUCTURE FOR ARCHITECTS With the University holding almost all the land which will be needed for the construction of the new architects' building and plans well underway, it is probable that contract for its con- struction will be let at the February meeting of the Board of Regents, it was indicated at University offices yesterday. Actual work will then start early in the spring. The University has reached sales agreements for the purchase of all the property in the block bounded by Haven, Monroe and Tappan streets, with the exception of one lot. Nego- tiations are now underway for the ac- quisition of this remaining piece. Ac- tual transfer of the property to the University has not been completed, however. Work of razing the frame dwellings which now occupy most of the prop- erty on which the new architects' building will be located, is expected to start shortly. The $400,000 appropriated by the legislature for the erection of the building, will become available in the spring. SEATS FR PERA i STILL AVAILABLE Shuter Says Monday's Performance Was Best Premiere He Has Yet Staged THIRD TIME TONIGHT Making its second appearance of the season last night, "Tambourine", the 1925 Union opera, played before a well filled house at the Whitney theater, Several hundred more were in the audience than attended the opera at its second showing a year ago, the balcony being entirely sold out.

U. S. Grant, in her address last night in Hill audi- torium, commended the United States for its attitude of aloofness toward it. The Princess' lecture was the fifth of the season course of the Oratorical association. Her subject was "My Life Here, and There. Dean Alfred H. Lloyd, of the Graduate school, pr- sided and introduced the speaker. "The United States' attitude in not recognizing the present Russian gov- ernment has been a practical and logical view," said the Princess, "be- cause it is a government which is alien to the true Russian ideals. It is built on fallacy, and was imposed upon the Russian people by German propagandists. Not until this gov- ernment has been overthrown and a real government set up in Russia, should the United States recognize it and give her assistance to the re- construction of Russia." Soviet Fail To Fulfill Promises Basing her facts upon observations made this summer and upon reports issued by ministers of the Russ~an government, Princess Cantacuzene told her audience that the Soviet gov- ernment has not only failed in its greatest promise, namely, to educate the Russian people, but has failed to fulfill in a constructive way most of its other promises. "Reports show that there are only half the number of schools now operating in Russia that there were during the reign of the Czar," the Princess stated. "From the talk I hear about the Russian people in this country and .elsewhere," said the Princess, I often wonder if the people will ever learn the true facts. I have been behind the curtains and I have had a chance to study Russia. I married in 1899 and went to Russia with my husband to take my position in my future home. It was a new experience to me. I knew nothing of Russia except of the fearful tales I had heard of despot rulers and suppressed peas- ants." She then told, in detail, the true history of Russia as she had learned it by delving into Russian literature and history, after she had learned the native language. She took the steps in the develop- ment of Russia one by one, and also the character and works of the vari- ous rulers. She dwelt at length on Emperor Nicholas II and his queen, because he was the last of the great line. "Nicholas II was a modest and shy man who was filled with energy and liberal ideas. He came to the throne two years before my arrival In { Russia. But the Empress had been brought -up in a small German court and was filled with aristocratic ideas." She told of the events which led up to the World War and of the various revolutionist movements shortly after. She presented colorful word pictures of court functions in the ballroom of the Czar's palace, and told of her meetings with many nota- bles. The Princess told of her birth in the I White House during the Presidency of her grandfather, Gen. U. S. Grant and characterized him for the audience. She held her audience spellbound as she recounted the interesting events immediately preceding the death of .her grandfather. She had formed intimate acquaintance with many of his friends, and recalled outstanding characters to the crowd. Shortly after the death of her grandfather, Princess Canacuzene said that her father was appointed Ambassador to Vienna. Austria was a feudal state at that time, she said, and pointed out that when she went with her parents to live, Emperor Franz Joseph was a young and ener- getic man. She described the Aus- trian peasant life, and told in glowing descriptions of the beer gardens and cafes. She told of being presented to tho t 3!

"The great outrushes of cold air from the interior of Greenland appear to be the origin of the great storms of Europe," Professor Hobbs said. "No weather stations have heretofore been established near either of the great poles of our earth. It is thought probable that from such a station near the border of the icedome of Greenland, a warning can be given by ' wireless two days in advance of the l arrival of these storms in northwest- ern Europe." . Doctor Hinsdale told his radio au-1 dience about the primitive men of Michigan, the Indians who inhabited the state before the white men came. He described their origin, their living' conditions, and their habits and cus-I toms. Doctor Hinsdale is probably better informed on this phase of re-I search than any other archaeologist.

In commenting upon the premiere yesterday, E. Mortimer Shuter, who isE directing his ninth Michigan opera this year, said: "The. performance Monday evening was the best opening night presentation made by. any opera that I have staged." Dr. C. G. Darling, '81M, professor of dental surgery, who has seen prac-' tically every Michigan opera that has been produced, was among those to congratulate Mr. Shuter on "Tambour- ine" after the initial presentation. Dr. Darling remarked that he was deeply impressed with this year's mu-1 sical comedy, and stated that "it is the finest opera that has ever been, given, not excluding 'Cotton Stock-1 ings.'"
