TO DIRECT MANAGEMENT A considerable part of the last summer was spent successfully in studying conditions on the grounds of the University properties at Douglas lake and Sugar island, ac- cording to Prof. W. F. Ramsdell, newly appointed under the George Willis Pack foundation. The detailed data secured byl Prof. L. J. Young will be utilized by Professor Ramsdell in preparation for plans of management for the University's forest property. These plans will include such steps as planting the open areas with repre- sentative species of Michigan's bet- ter timber trees; thinning in dense stands of second growth hard- woods, and improvement cuttings in the older stands by removing defec- tive trees to exhilirate growth in the remaining stand of thrifty tim- ber. Increase in water rates is the on- ly feasible plan by which necessary funds can be raised to -meet the cost of improvements in the water department, Prof. William C. Hoad, chairman of the rate commission, said yesterday. A bond issue providing for the cost of improvements, twice defeat- I ed by voters, has left the increase in rates as the only alternative, Pro- fessor Hoad stated. Decision on this issue will proba- bly be made at a meeting of the board of water commissioners and the rate commission to be held Oc- tober 21. The bond issue, as outlined by the commission, would provide for the construction of a new reservoir at an estimated cost of $110,000, the construction of new mains and the connecting of dead-end mains, making the total amount to be NEW6 Missing Edward L missing fro tal Thursda to Ann Arb scribed as wearing a g and rimless Robbers Charged v tering, twor and Thomas pending trai Thursday w store of the by Lewis O store.

Apparently they are from the re- ports several beauty shops and drug stores are giving out lately. These reports deal with the in- crease in business from men, young ones, in the cosmetic, facial, and hair treatment line. According to the reports from the beauty shops, men are becoming quite a bit more fastidious and self-conscious about their complex- ion and hair. Treatments are giv- en to them in the form of facials, mud packs, hair treatments, and even waving of the latter. The drug stores report an in- crease in sales to college men ef cosmetics, mainly, cold creams, cleansing creams, and vanishing creams, as well as after-shaving lo- tions and perfumes. Such a state of affairs seems to disprove the statement that flam- ing youth is going to the dogs-it's going to the beauty parlors. Law Seniors to Begin Practice Court Work Seniors in the Law school will have their first practical experience in court procedure when practice court sessions begin next week. The third year students are now selecting their partners and will be handed the facts in their cases soon. Procedure in the practice court ollows that used by the courts in a majority of the states, and of- fers the students opportunity to apply their legal training in find- ng principles of law and prepar- ng them for exposition before a court. Michigan established this system about forty years ago, and was the irst institution to use it. Since hen it has been adopted by al- most all the leading law schools in his country. DePauw University discovered, upon taking inventory, that com- paratively few letters of the Greek lphabetywere used in sorority and fraternity insignia. Among the ororities, Delta was found to be he most popular letter, with Alpha ating second in favor. BAXTER TO WRITE RESEARCHREPORT Prof. Dow V. Baxter, of the school of forestry, who has recent- ly returned from Europe, is pre- paring to publish the results of1 his study of the Dutch elm treeI disease. While in Europe this past sum- mer, Professor Baxter investigatedI the methods being used by other governments to combat this dis- ease which already has destroyed many of the world renowned trees of the Versailles and which is be- coming quite a menace to the elm trees in our country, especially in the central west. Tests at the My- cological laboratory in Berlin-Dah- lem, Germany have shown that the American elm is one of the most susceptible of all elms to the dis- ease, Professor Baxter reported. In addition to his pathological studies in France, Germany, Nor- way and Scotland, he was also a delegate at the Third Nordiske Skogkongress in Norway and the International Botanical congress at Cambridge, England.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS- An open air theatre with a seating capacity ofthree thousand has been dedicated at the University of Ar- kansas by Chi Omega in honor of the founding of the sorority here April 5, 1897. E. J. Ottaway, publisher of the Port Huron Times-Herald, past president of the Alumni association, and Dean G. Carl Huber, of the graduate school, met last night at the Union to discuss the ten-year program which is being sponsored by the various alumni groups throughout the country. J. W. Switzer, general passenger agent of the Michigan Central rail- road, is in Ann Arbor today making arrangements with T. Hawley Tap- ping, general secretary of the Alum- ni association, for special trains which will run from Ann Arbor and Detroit to Boston for the Mich- igan-Harvard football game. University of Michigan clubs of Pasadena and Los Angeles have made arrangements to hold their luncheons on Saturday in order that they may hear the radio ac- counts of the Michigan football games in a body. The change in time makes it possible for them to enjoy the game while having lun- cheon. Women of the University of Colo- rado lately launched a membership drive for their University Women's club. The purpose of this organ- ization is twofold, first, to provide a social center for Independent women and second, to promote inter-sorority feeling. The dues include tickets to the club dances. The club house on the campus is open to members at all times. Women's league recently issued a book of college and fraternity songs, with a special section devoted to the big ten schools. SLOSSON FINISHES BOOK ON AMERICA World War, Period Folowing, Is Subject of Volume. "The Great Crusade and After" is the name of the book that was written recently by Prof. Preston W. Slosson, of the department of history. This book records the social and economicmhistory of the United States from 1914 to 1928. It is the latest volume of "The History of American Life," a series of books dealing with this phase of history, that are being published. The series numbers in all 14 books, and includes a volume of the Spanish and Dutch colonies. and several volumes on the Eng- lish colonies. The remaining books deal with the United States after it became a republic. "Not all of the books of the ser- ies have been published as yet," Professor Slosson said. "However there have been three books re- leased that deal with the colonies, one with the period including 1830 and 1840, and one with the period of reconstruction directly follow- ing the Civil war. The "History of American Life" series covers every phase of Amer- ican history except the political side, Professor Slosson said. The subjects most emphasized however are the social and economic life of the American people. Herbert Hoover's Son Will Remain at Camp (By Associated Pr~ess.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Herbert Hoover, Jr., elder son of President Hoover, is expected to remain sev- eral weeks longer at the presiden- tial lodge in Virginia, where he is undergoing treatment for a tuber- cular infection. Capt. Joel T. Boone, the White House physician, said his patient has been making favorable prog- ress. COLUMBUS - Fraternities at' Ohio State university here have re- versed tradition, according to an- nouncements published in t h e "Lantern." Where once neophntes bowed to the onslaught of the pad- dle, they now are guests of honor at teas, -dances and steak dinners at the expense of the men who might be their fraternity brothers at some future date. Chemist Scores Use of Hydrogen in Dirigibles, Cause of Recent Catastrophe. EXPLAINS R-101 DISASTER "Helium is a practical necessity in dirigible transportation," stated Dr. H. H. Willard of the chemistry department in an interview yester- day. "It is just as safe to build a house of wood as to use hydrogen for dirigible inflation. Hydrogen is per- fetly safe until ignited. And any- thing of an inflammable nature will ignite hydrogen. However there must be an actual leakage of the gas before combustion can take place. This is what happened when the R-101 crashed," Dr. Wil- lard pointed out. "Helium is found in natural gas in varying quantities," he said. "The reason that United States has a virtual monopoly is that de- posits of natural gas in this coun- try are unusually rich in helium." "In fact a deposit of gas has re- cently been found in Colorado in which seven per cent of helium has been reported. As the normal per centage is about two it is easy to see that this is an important dis- covery. If true it will supply suffi- cient helium for years to come." "Helium was first noticed during an eclipse of the sun in 1868. Dur- ing the eclipse, the sun for the first time was viewed thru a spectro- scope, on instrument by means of which it is possible to detect the- presence of various elements from the light they give out when heat- cd. Later helium was found to es- cape from certain radioactive m- erals," Dr. Willard added. "As helium is the most difficult gas known to freeze it is recovered from natural gas by a purely phys- ical process. The gas is frozen un- til only helium remains in a gaseus state," Dr. Willard said. Walker May Withdraw From Mayor's Office (lab,,;cue Pre NEW YORK, Oct. 10-The Mo- tion Picture News, in a copyright- ed article, today said that Mayor James J. Walker had definitely de- cided to resign Jan. 1 to join the legal staff of the Fox Film Corp. The mayor's decision to return to the motion picture business, with which he formerly was con- nected for several years, was made before the present investigations into city scandals were instituted, the article said.
