William W. Bishop, University Li-
brarian, features as leading con-
tributor to the latest isue of the L -
bry Journal with an articleon
Herbert Putnam for 30 years head
of the Library of Congress. Libra-'
rian Bishop terms Putnam one of
the two great librarians of Con-
gress unswervingly devoted to the
task of making the Library of Con-
gress truly national.
It is due to his ability that this
library of four million'ooks has not
become a mere governmental ma-
chine. "It is humanized and vivi-.
fied by real persons working on real
problems", writes Librarian Bishop.
Dr. Carl E. Guthe, associate di-
rector of the University museum of
anthropology, will deliver an illus-'
trated lecture on "Mayan Archi-
tecture" at 4:15 this afternoon in
the auditorium of the architectural
building. The lecture is being
sponsored by the Architectural so-
ciety.
The speaker is a prominent arch-
aeologist and one of the foremost
authorities on Indian pottery. Dr.
Guthe has made expeditions to
Mexico, Hawaii, and throughout
sixteen states of the Mississippi
valley.
He is chairman of the committee
on state archaeological survey of
the national research council, and
has charge, of correlating the re-
search work in archaelogy done
all over North America. Dr. Guthe
was recently elected president of
the newly organized Washtenaw
Historical society.

DROUGHT IS WIDESPREAD'
In view of the terrible famine
which is every day claiming more
victims in overpopulated China, Y.{
E. Chang, Grad., and Dr. F. S.
Onderdonk, of the Architectural,
school, will hold a meeting at 4:15,
Thursday, May 2, in Natural Science
auditorium to discuss "America's
Soul and China's Famine". The!
object of these lec.tures is to stir up
more activity in aiding these star-
vation-stricken people by citizens
of this nation.
Chang, who did much relief work
in China during the 1920-1921 fa-
mine, will tell of the conditions that
existed there at that time and con-
trast them with those existing at
present. It is said by American au-j
thorities in China now that no de-
vastation such as this has ever be-
fore been so wide-spread.
In its most desolating form, thel
famine since the beginning of win-
ter has afflicted 12,000,000 men, wo-
men, and children in nine provinces
of North China alone. In that
area, that total, according to train-
ed investigators who are in close
touch with the conditions, will
reach a minimum of 20,000,000 be-'
fore summer.
Continued drought in many re-
gions, floods, locust swarms, a
plague of army earth worms, civil
war and brigandage combined to
leave in this vast expanse of terri-
tory only a small fraction of the
food necessary to maintain the life
of the population until another har-
vest. Civil war is now ended and
brigandage is largely controlled, but
food is still lacking.
President Hoover, in writing on
the situation, said, "The reports of
the Department of Commerce indi-
cate a very real famine in China
from which many million people are,
already suffering. The American
people have never failed to respond
to a call of charity in time of need.
"I wish to commend the effort
of the China Famine Relief fund in
its attempt to bring this aid to a
most unfortunate people and I trust
it will meet with generous support.'
