VARE CASE CLOSED
IN SENATE SESSION
House Displays Usual Lineup Of
Wet And Dry
Factions
(By Associated P'css)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The
Senate got own to real business
today with the cruiser building bill
which the House sent over a year
ago, while the House prepared to
grapple with the $24,000,00 pro-
hibition enforcement proposal
which the Senate inserted in the
deficiency appropriation bill earlier
this week.
It was clear that consideration
of both of these measures would
be attended by much oratory. A
mention in the House that the Sen-
ate had returned the deficiency bill
resulted in request from various
quarters for information as to
when and how the question would
be handled, presaging a renewal in
that branch of Congress of the pro-
hibition argument which has been
occupying )the Senate on recent
days.
Borah Opens Debate
The preliminary expressions
from House members indicated an
unusual lineup, with wet and drys
grouped in some instances in favor
of the Senate plan, and in other
quarters opposing it. Secretary
Mellon has disapproved of such an
increase-in dry funds until a survey
could be made.
Senator Borah of Idaho, chair-
man of the foreign relations com-
mittee, advanced the suggestion at
the opening of the debate on the
cruiser bill that it should conain a
restatement of international law
on rights of neutrals at sea. He at-
tributed "uneasiness' over naval
power in theuworld through the loss
of a clear understanding on this
point.
The House dealt with minor bills
on its consent calendar today,
leaving to the ways and means
committee the principal work on
that side of the capital, and this
committee listened to testimony by
a succession of witnesses interest-
ed in the tariff legislation for agri-
cultural products. The committee
was told that the farming indus-
try should receive protection equal
to that of any other industry. The
question of the duty on livestock
occupied much of the time allotted
to the agricultural schedule which
the committee is considering.
The bill to reapportion the mem-
bership of the House was before
the Senate for a brief period before
the cruiser bill was called up as
the unfinished business. Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan, asked
that it be considered and on a roll
call, regarded as something of a
test, his motion was adopted by a
vote of 53 to 23.

Engagement With Bismuth And
Atom Distribution Wins Coffin
Annual Awards
Charles A. Coffin fellowships
have been awarded to eight young
men preparing to engage, or al-
ready engaged, in research dealing
with various problems relating to
electricity, physics, or physical
chemistry, among whom are listed
two men from the University.
IRobert F. Bacher, '26, and Lal C.
Verman, '27, are Michigan's rep-
resentatives who have been award-
ed the fellowships provided by the
Charles A. Coffin Foundation as a
means of encouraging and foster-
ing fundamental research among
students of engineering and kin-
dred sciences.
Research in connection with
Bismuth and the distribution of
atoms is occupying Bacher, who is
working for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy at the University.
Verman is occupied at Cornell uni-
versity with investigation regard-
ing the polarization of short radio
waves as affected by weather con-
ditions.
Theses awards are considerably
at a premium, since only eight are
offered to university men each
year. Michigan is also extremely
fortunate in that two of her stu-
dents have advanced to the stage
of investigation where research is
of so much fundamental impor-
tance.
This award is striven for annual-
ly. Both men hope to complete'
their present problem in research

On Fur Bearing Animals

"In neurotic individuals,"rsaid
Dr. John Garvey, professor of 1
neurology in the medical school
and specialist of nervous diseases
n the University hospital, who
was the first speaker on the four-
teenth Michigan Night radio pro-
gram, broadcast last night over
station WJR, "alcholic addiction is
but the expression of a desire for
relief from a strain which cannot
be borne."
Dr. Garvey, who was the first
speaker on the radio programj
spoke on "The Effect of Alcohol on
the Nervous System," and explain-
ed in some detail the factors which
result in permanent injury to the
body.
Prof. Ned Dearborn, zoologist in
'he School of Forestry and Conser-
vation, was the next to address the
radio audience on "Michigan's Fur
Bearing Animals." Professor Dear-
born said that Michigan ranks
hird of all the states in the United
States in the production of furs.
The finest of the fur bearers have
been exterminated, including the
fisher, the marten, and the wol-
verine, emblem of the state.
Beaver Increases
The beaver, otter, and raccoon, re-
dticed almost to the vanishing
oont, are now gradually reappear-
ing, Professor ,Dearborn showed.
These animals, as well as many
others which live in this state, will
continue to increase in number if
protected, and will thus form a
valuable source of income for
trappers in Michigan.
Prof. J. Raleigh Nelson, of the
English department in the .Engi-
neering college, spoke next on the
publication work done by the Engi-
neering Research committee. "In
October, 1925." said Professor Nel-
son, "a publications committee
was created to see that whenever
contributions of major importance
resulted from the study of research
projects, they should be edited and
issued in a form which would give
them permanent value, and issued
whenever they would be of service.
Since January, 1926, eleven bul-
letins, two circulars and four re-
prints have been published and
distributed." Professor Nelson said
that the subjects covered by the
bulletins ranged all the way from
investigations of charcoal and pig-
iron to a manual of flight test pro-
cedure.
Fries Outlines Plan
One of the co-editors of the Dic-
tionary of Early Modern English,
Prof. Charles C. Fries, of the Eng-
lish department, explained some-
thing of the work being done on
the dictionary, its compilation and
purpose.
As the nmusical portion of the
program, Dr. Norman L. Capener,
of the medical school, accompanied
by Arthur E. Evans, of the French
department, on the lute, presented
several selections of Elizabethan
songs. Phillip Culkin also sang
three solo groups on this program,
and was accompanied by Louise
Nelson of the School of Music at
the piano.

Members of the University band
were guests of the Michigan the-

band of the University of Illinios
is appearing on the program there
for the remainder of the week, and
because the management thought
the attraction would be of interest
to the band members, they invited
them to be guests at the perform-
ance.

The lead see-sawed back and
forth until the teams were tied
again at 9-all, when Schecter sent
the Tartans into the fore with a
difficult overhead shot, but the
Michigan sharp-shooters found
their range and forged into a sub-
stantial lead which they held
throughout the rest of the game.
Except for the first few minutes
of the contest when Schecter man-

defense held the City college quin-

opponents to score only six times
from the field.

Barley at runing guard, played a
flashy game for the Wolverines and
was high point man of the contest
with four field goals and six free

a strong defensive game and help-

other points were well distributed,
every Wolverine bagging at least
lone field goal. Captain Evans and
Schecter were the chief threats
for City college, each accounting
for seven points..
