Mac- Donald, retired, a young Briton who hopped off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, is believed to be somgwhere out over the Atlantic tonight on an attempted nonstop flight to England alone. Although he said the flight was to- be only for a short test flight, the fuell tanks were full and he carriedr complete equipment. Weather con- ditions were favorable, with a northeast wind._ The plane used was a tiny Moth1 De Haviland plane and the wind is -expected to aid his attempt.

MEMORIES OF PRE-PROHIBITION BROU1GHT BACK BY CHANGES INA DAYS STORE Relics, as interesting perhaps to Michigan students and alumni, as the recent unearthing of King Tut's tomb was to the world of archaeol- ogy, have been brought to light lately during the remodeling of the Goodyear and company de- partment store on Main street. Definite signs of the happy-go- lucky drinking party initiations of the Michigan of the past, when men were men and beer sold for five centsa schooner, are now be- ing buried forever under a coat of paint on the third floor of the new addition to the building occupied by the Goodyear store. In the year 1903 B. V. (Before Volstead) when Michigan's drink- ing clubs were becoming popular, the entire third floor of this build- ing was used, probably as a chapter room, as can be seen from the fra- ternity emblems and the dates still to be seen on the walls of one of the rooms. Chapter rooms and drinking clubs of this sort were not unusual in the days of Yost's "poimt-a-minute" teams and evi- dences of other organizations of the same sort have been uncovered in adjoining buildings on Main street, but this one is the last sur- vivor of the "good old days." When Goodyear and company k., FROM 1 STATE ATTEND Haler 's .Removal Sale moved into the building about twelve years ago, the floor was di- vided into three rooms, which seemed to have been untenanted 'for several years. In back of the front room was a very narrow one, more like a hall- way, with walls and ceiling en- tirely black and; a ghost-like skele- ton hung from the ceiling in one corner. It is this all-black room that was no doubt used for initia- tion purposes. In back of the initiation chamber was a huge room with a large cen- ter table and this was, without doubt, the drinking room, where; sorrowful students drowned their sorrows in kegs of beer and fumes of smoke as they can no longer do with federal officers in Ann Arbor.

Dear Sirs: Two years ago last winter I went into the Red Lake gold fields in Canada. It was a tough trail from Hudson, over 140 miles of snow and ice. There were fourteen of us on the I trail going in, and frequently at night when seated around a big camp fire, some one would ask me for a pipeful of Edgeworth. These Canadian boys sure like our Edgeworth. In four weeks' time I ran out of Edgeworth. I was glad to get 'most any old tobacco. One day, nowever, I dropped in to Dad Brown's tent, a 72-year-old pros- pector, and seeing a can of Edgeworth on an improvised table, back there 150 miles from the "steel," I perked up at once, saying, "Dad, I'm plum out of tobacco-how's chances for a pipe- ful?" "Help yourself," he said. So pulling mry heavy duty pipe from my pocket, I loaded it with Edgeworth, packing it in so tightly that I couldn't get the least bit of a draw. I excused myself for a moment, and stepped outside to remove about three pipefuls to put in my pouch. Dad stepped out, saying, "You're worse than any Scotchman I ever saw." Then I confessed. I told him what happened to my Edgeworth-that I was just dying for a smoke, and he understood right away. He said, "Boy, Edgeworth is mighty scarce in f these parts, but I reckon I can spare what's left of that can. Help yourself." You can just bet your last nickel that I guarded this Edgeworth with extreme care until I got back to the "steel.' Yours very truly, C. M. Bahr Edgeworth Extra High Grade Smoking Tobacco OSCAR O. M.
