ISSUES REPORT ABOUT
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES
ISSUES 15
Affirmative And Negative Sides Win
Almost Equal Nuniber Of Debates
On Question Of Primaries
MANY ATTEND CONTESTS
According to a report i'ssued by
Prof. Gail E. Densmore, manager of
the Micligan high school debating
league, the returns thus far from the
debates on the question, resolved that
the direct primary should be abolished,
show that the affirmatives have been
able to win decisions in 128 debates,
while the negatives have only suc-
ceeded in annexing 112 contests.
It has been estimated by league of-
ficials that more than 1,100 students
have participated in the debates,
which have been held in every part
of the state. More than 50,000 peo-
ple have attended these contests.-
Half of the preliminary debates
have already been held, each high.
school, having participated in two
contests. The next round will be held
on or before January 13. The last
group of preliminary debates are
scheduled to take place in the second
week in February.
This year the state champion'ship
debate will be held on the night of
April 17. This is several weeks
earlier than usual. It has been sched-
uled at this time because the Michi-
gan Schoolmasters club has re'served
Friday night, April 17, for the cham-
pionship contest.

Service Flier Asks
Contract From City
To Manage Air Port
Plans for the Ann Arbor air port,
to be located at the Steere farm south
of the city, received added, impetus
from a new source yesterday when
Leonard S. Flo who has been in the
army service and says he is an ex-
perienced aviator, submitted a pro-
posal to the city to operate the air
port and to conduct a flying school
on the property.
The aviator suggests that the city
through the park board enter into a
contract which he may, if he sees fit,
assign to a corporation controlled by
him. He also writes that he has in-
spected the ptoperty proposed as an
air port site and finds it is excellent-
ly located and possesses natural ad-
vantage's for flying facilities.
I The contract would provide Mr.
Flo with exclusive rights for five
years to passenger carrying from the
local field operation of taxi services,
aerial photography service, airplane
sales, vending gasoline and oils and
other supplies for airplanes and serv-
icing and repairing of planes.
In return for these concessions the
aviator will agree to operate the field,
maintain lighting equipment, and
keep a competent mechanic on the
field. He also will provide for his
carrying and other service only first
class flying equipment which has been
registered and approved by the depart-

What Every
House wife eeds
The old-fashioned idea that
a woman's highest praise was
her capacity for domestic
drudgery, late and early, is
fast passing away.
The modern housewife calls
in the aid of electricity. She
cooks, washes, sweeps, sews,
with efficient, cheaply- run-
ning electric appliances; she
does her housework quickly
and easily; she has leisure
for other things; she has a
more homelike home; she
preserves her health,
lengthens her life, and
saves her money.
