Heating And Its Use With The
Future In View
"With the exception of the large+
Democratic deficit, there can be1
little complaint with the financial
management of the last campaign,"
stated Prof. James K. Pollock of+
the political science department in
his address on the seventeenth1
Michigan Night radio program of
the current series broadcast through
WJR Detroit.
Was Large Expenditure
Professor Pollock, who was ab-
sent from the University last year
while in Europe studying money in
elections, had as his subject
"Campaign Funds in 1928." "The
campaign of last year brought
forth the largest expenditure of
money that this country has ever
seen, in facttthelargest expendi-
ture of money for political purposes
that the world has seen in any sim-
ilar period of time. But intenest-
ingly enough this campaign has
been the first in recent decades
which has not raised the cry of
"slush funds." Both parties being
adequately financed, there was not
reason for either to complain about
the other," he said.
"Money is no more important to-
day than formerly but its regula-
tion continues to be a matter of
urgent public importance. Unless
unscrupulous schemers are ruled
outaby an alert public giving sup-
port to adequate laws, party funds,
instead of being a public good, will'
become a public menace.
Feet Discusses Surgery
Speaking on "Ti igeminal Neu-
ralgia or Facial Tic," Dr. Max Peet,
professor of neuro-surgery in the
Medical school, told of that branch'
of surgery which is today becoming
important, that of relieving many
who otherwise were doomed to a
life time of intense suffering. Facial
Tic or Tic Douloureux as it is more
widely known, was described as an
example of such a disease. Dr. Peet
told at length of its cause, symp-
toms and treatment.
"ArtificialGas For Heating the
Home' was the topic of the speech
given by Prof. Alfred H. White of
the chemical engineering depart-
ment, in which he - described the
advances being made in this di-
rection and the probable outcome
of our use of this means of heat-
ing. "The use of gas for house
heating is one of the most impor-
tant steps which will make possible
the elimination of soot and its ac-
companying effects from the air,"
he said, "for although we may com-
plain most about the factory smoke
stacks, it is the domestic chimney
which is the most prolific source
of soot in our atmosphere. The
problem for the future is to dimin-
ish the cost to the consumer so
that It will be feasible for the man
with the average pocket-book to
heat his home in this manner.
Model Airplanes-
The concluding talk, entitled
"Making a Flying Machine," was
delivered by the "Air Flying"
Scribe, a graduate student in the
School of Education. The Scribe's

talk last night was the second ofr
a series which he is giving on the
radio programs, in hisattempt to
encourage greater interest among
children and adults *toward the
building of airplane models. He
then described a specific model
and the process employed in its
construction.
During the interim of; the!
speeches a series of musical num-
bers were presented by Anthony J.
Whitmire, instructor in the School
of Music, a student of Witek and'
Barmas of Berlin, and Carl Linde-
grin, a graduate of the School of
Music.

In Virginia Blue Ridge
Mountains
SPOT IS NEAR WASHINGTON
(Bpy Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Mount
Weather, Virginia, in the Blue
Ridge mountains about 50 miles
northwest . of Washington, will
probably be the site of a country
White House, a residence that its
sponsor, President Coolidge, will in
all likelihood never occupy.
The chief executive has recom-
mended to Congress that $48,000 be
appropriated to establish the pro-
posed country White House on Gov-
ernment property now used as a
weather bureau station. His recom-
mendation suggested legislation to
transfer the Mount Weather prop-
erty to the Director of Public Build-
ings and submitted a list of repairs
and improvements needed to con-
dition buildings on the land. f
President Coolidge waited until
near the close of his term to sug-
gest a country White House, his first
public mention of it being in a let-
ter to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
on Dec. 9.
He referred to the heavy duties
of the President and wrote that if
he responded to all the appeals
made to him from outside sources,
"for all of which he will be sought
with the inference that unless he
responds civilization will break
down and the sole responsibility
will rest on him, he will last in of-
fice about 90 days."
He suggested that the Govern-
ment provide a country White

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 14.-I
Twenty-five Japanese, who werel
snatched from the freighter .Meiyo
Maru while it was being ground to
pieces on the storm-washed rocks
of the Aleutian islands, were safe I
aboard the steamer Illinois and]
the Japanese ship Nankoh Maru+
today.
Fragments of messages reach-
ing here Wednesday night told of
the exciting rescue but many de-
tails were lacking. It was pre-
sumed that the rescued crew was
being taken to Dutch' Harbor,
Alaska.
The rescue was effected by l
shooting breeches buoys from the'
Illinois and the Nankoh Maru to
the doomed ship and pulling the'
crew of the Meiyo Maru to safetyj
one by one.
In a pounding sea and with the
rescue ships working dangerously

often sagged until their human
cargoes were dipped into the roar-

safety.
The Meiyo Maru, a freighter of
5,400 tons, ran aground early
Tuesday morning during a storm.
Several hours later the Nankoh
Maru reached the -scene but was
unablerto effect a rescue because
of the ferocity of the sea. All day
Wednesday she stood by until the
Illinois arrived. The latter encoun-
tered great difficulty in reaching
the scene.
At Dutch Harbor the crew of the
freighter Alloway was recuperat-
ing after having been picked up by
the steamer Montauk about 100
miles from the wreck of the
Meiyo Maru. Thirty-three men, all
but one of the crew, abandonedI

LONDON, Feb. 14.-Estimates of
d e a t h s from abnormally cold
weather in central Europe alone to-
day ran as high as 300, with thou-
sands suffering from frostbite and
kindred injuries.
Apparently worse was in pros-
pect, with suffering acute, practic-
ularly in southeastern Europe,
from fuel shortage. Mines of Po-
land and Czecho-Slovakia were
looked to for relief, but disruption
of railway traffic added even those
countries to those hardest hit.
Berlin Schools Close
Rivers and sea channels over
most of Europe, save in Spain,
were frozen over and choked with
ice. Rome, celebrating Ash Wed-
nesday, had a heavy snowfall. The
Riviera was covered with snow. In
Berlin, schools were closed for a;
week to meet the icy conditions.
Temperatures in many cases
without precedent and lower than
for 200 years were reported over
Europe. Meanwhile, northern Scan-
dinavia was normal and Iceland
and Spitzenbergen reported tem-
peratures as high as 40 degrees.
Storm Coal Depot
In Budapest, shivering men and
women stormed a coal depot dur-
ing the night after the government
had announced distribution of free
coal at 8 a. m. Because of the in-
tense cold they were unable, to
wait and they smashed doors,
loading bags, baskets, boxes and
even pockets with the precious
fuel. Fifty persons were sent to
hospitals with sprains, lacerations
and frozen hands as a result of the-
ensuing riot and conflict with po-
lice.
In Vienna, Chancellor Seipel or-
dered parliament suspended for
two weeks because of the weather,
explaining this would save five
tons of coal daily. The Austrian
ministers at Prague and Warsaw
made personali appeals to the ru-
ers of Czecho-Slovakia and Poland
for additional fuel, pointing out
that Austria's supply had shrunk
from 125,000 to 20,000 tons.
Cars . Are Frozen
But in Czehcho-Slovakia miles of
coal-laden freight cars were frozen
fast to the tracks and -could not
be moved, while in Poland ration-
ing of coal supplies had been re-
sorted to to avert a shortage there.
At Lwow, Poland, not a single
train had arrived or left for the
last three days and a food short-
age as well as fuel shortage faced
, the city. Forty per cent of the rail-
road staff in Poland was incapa-
citated for work, either by the cold
or influenza.
In the Cattegat and the sound
between Denmark and Sweden 130
steamers were frozen fast, await-
|ing attempts of ice-breakers to
release them. Baltic sea traffic was
subject to the greatest hazards.
England Is Troubled
Bitter cold prevailed in England,
and many rivers were beginning to
solidify. While London was free of
snow there we :e heavy drifts else-
1 where, and roads were impassable.
The Isis and Cam were frozen over,
with tfe effect of stopping prac-
tice of the crews of Cambridge and
Oxford.
The canals and lagoons at Venice
were completely frozen over, for
ithe first time, it is said, since the
eighteenth century.
T e"eud-i*weat eeau pre;

today a heavy snow started falling.
Ice was forming today in the Seine
and Maine, threatening stopping o,
