Representatives Receive Two Firsts,
One Second And Third From
1600 Entrants
ALL SUBJECTS COVERED
Four ofthe six representatives
sent from the University high
school to the sixth annual Competi-
tive Examinations Contest for sec-
ondary pupils of Michigan, that was
held at Mt. Pleasant last Friday,
succeeded in winning two firsts, a
second and 'a third in the tests that
were given there.
This contest is sponsored each
year by the Central State Teachers
college at Mt. Pleasant, and con-
sists of separate examinations cov-
ering the entire range of high
school subjects. Any Michigan sec-
ondary school is eligible to enter
as many contestants as it desires,
and this year over 1600 students;
from 100 Michigan high schools
participated, some schools having 50
or more in the competition. How-
ever, considering the number of en-I
trants from the University highI
school, their showing was by farI
the best, since many of the more
important institutions sent larger
groups that had been drilled for
the contest during the past few
monhs. T his year was the first time.
that any students had been entered
from here.
In the' test in written English, a
first was won by Louise Little,
daughter of President Little, whileE
Elizabeth Shull, the only girl in the
University high school who is tak-
ing physics, was responsible for an-
other first in the examination in
that subject. Jean Anderson, recent
winner of second prize in a na-
tional high school examination on
the League of Nations, gained a
second in better English, a test in
detecting incorrect grammar and
construction in certain sentences.
In the plane geometry examination,
Carlotta Weitbrecht placed third.
Miss Hope Chipman of the Univer-,
sity high school accompanied the
group to Mt. Pleasant.
Such good results are encouraging,
the high school authorities said, and
it is probable that there will be a
larger contingent entered in the
conest when it is held next year at,
the same place.
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.-
All class offices except that of pres-;
ident have been abolished by the(
§tudent council, inasmuch as thati
body found, after investigating, that
the other officers fulfilled no tan-;
bible duty.

Prof. Jesse S. Reeves of the Po-
litical Science Department, has
been made a member of the inter-
national association for the pub-
lishing of the works of Grotius.
The association is composed of,!
scholars from all over the world
who are to contribute to the 'is-1
suing of this edition. Grotius is
known as the father of interna-I
tonal law, and the association isG
publishing the first complete vol-
ume of his works and letters. This
project which wvill not be comn-
pleted for many years, is to obviate
the necessity of further works on
the subject and will be the, final
and definitive work of the sort.

stand was filled to overflowing as
the crowd jammed the track at
Cornell Downs to see Clyde Van
Dusen win the 55th running of the
Kentucky Derby. The mud and
rain, however, favored the winner

and allowed him to sustain his ad-
vanced reputation as a mud runner
since he captured every post after
the first quarter, being threatened
only by Naishapur, who ran sec-
ond.

The above picture was snapped
between heavy showers that con--
verted the track into a sea of mud
and water, and drove the spectators
back under cover of the stands. The
crowd was estimated at 80,000.

Vernon Bailey Water-colors And Drawings
Of Spanish Scenes Now Here On Exhibition1

Opening today, and continuing
through Commencement, the wa-
ter-colors and drawings of Vernon
Howe Bailey, whose lithographs of
New York skyscrapers were recent-
ly shown here, will be on exhibi-
tion dlaily from 9 to 5 except Sun-'
days, in the ground floor corridor
of the Architectural building. Some
of these are the originals of those
used to illustrate Bailey's books.
Bailey has worked largely in
Spain since 1921. His works deal
especially with those towns unvis-
ited by tourists, and practically
unknown to Spanish authors.
The artist's works were shown in
London in an exhibition opened by
the Duchess of Rutland. Under!
the auspices of the Society of
Friends of Art, of which the Duke
of Alba is president, his water-a
colors, lithographs, and drawings
were shown in Madrid. This ex-
hibition was attended by King

Alfonso XIII, who issued to Bailey1
a royal decree of appreciation of
his works. He was also elected to
membership in the Royal Academy
of Fine Arts in San Fernando.
In Rome the American ambassa-
dor sponsored a showing of his
works. held in the galleries of the
Italy-America Society in the Sal-
viati Palace. The exhibition was
opened by Minister of Public In-
struction Beluzzo and Count Volpi,
former Minister of Finance.
Bailey returned in February from
two years of traveling in Spain,
Italy, France, Austria, and Hun-
gary.
Dean Emil Lorch, of the Col-
lege of Architecture, says of him,
"Mr. Bailey is a brilliant crafts-
man, who draws with a loose, easy
style. He knows how to select
most happily the position from
which to make his sketches for
good results in composition."'

"Thse Wolf of Wall St."

You lauded Bancroft for his
#ripping portrayal in "Under-
world." But to grasp the full
significance of his inimitable
talents, hear his magnetic voice.
And hear Raclanova sing "Love,
Take My Heart," in this her
latest offering.

You will hear and see the rush
and roar of Wall Street.. The
race for gold will grip you as you
watch the battle of the money
giants, inspired by a woman
who skillfully weaves her silken
web to entrap their riches!
