MOSCOW, Russia--In its effort to
fill the lives of the Russion prole-

vigorously supported sports of all
kinds. In Moscow alone the non-party

than 20 per cent of these athletes

Senor Achelli, the renowned acro-
bat, will perform several astounding
feats with the rings and swinging
trapeze. Ie will be aided by two very
able ladies who also possess his gen-
ius for feats requiring the most deli-
cate skill. Other acrobats will perform
simultaneously at the bars, ropes, and
weights, and the act will be truly
graceful and wonderful.
An astounding performance of
grand and, lofty tumbling will be one
of the main attractions. It will be
strange and disconcerting in its origi-
nality.l It will be outstanding in cir-
cus history.
A menagerie of perfectly trained
dogs, monkeys, elephants, and other
animals has been procured. Unusual
and amusing tricks will be their spec-
ialty and it has been said by the most
exacting critics that "they can do any-
thing, those animals!" Ohio, the only
trained ring-tailed monkey in the
world is the most famous of the
collection, although Bimby, th el-
phant, runs a close second. Bimby
dances, reads, and follows directions
to perfection. Born in the African
jungles, it has been a long, hard
struggle to train this well-known
beast, but success has at last crown-

NURSES INTEREST
SELVES IN MUSIC,
Interest in music is being stimulated
among the nurses of the University
1 hospital by an orchestra and glc/ club
which have just been organized at'
Couzens hall. Community singing is
the special aim of the glee club, which
is to be more in the nature of a
school chorus than of a formal club.
Work is now being done on Christmas
carols and on arrangements of Mich-
igan songs for part-e!nging.
At the annual Christmas party at
Couzens hall, the glee club and part
of the orchestra will, it is planned,
give a program of Christmas music.
Carols, especially a number of Eng-
lish carols, are to be sung, and thesE
are now being practiced.
An activity which is being sponsor-
ed by the glee club is a contest which
opened yesterday and will close Feb.
1. The contestants are writing school
songs for the nursing school, and a
prize for the best song is to be award-
ed at the close of the contest. Origi-
nal words must be written for any
songs submitted, but any tune may
be chosen. Beyond this, there are no
restrictions on the nature of the
songs. When the best, songs have beerf
chosen, they will be taught to the
glee club and to the ,tchool as a
whole.
At present, the glee club numbers
50 voices, and is under the directior
of Otto Brown of the School of Mu-f
sic. The orchestra has been organiz-
ed by William J. Watkins, also of the
School of Music. Theorchestra con-
sists of violins, clarinets, trombones,
trumpets, saxophones, cellos, drums,
and cymbals. There are expected to be
five violins, and two of each other
type of instrument. Approximately
half of the members of the orchestra
are beginners, while the others have
had some previous experience.
