Carlson in charge' of the Univer- sity geological expedition to Green- land, wrote the letter August 10 at Godhaven. He speaks very highly; of the hospitality of the Eskimos and especially of Magister Olsen, a physicist, at whose home they re- mained temporarily. Olsen's work there is under the celebrated Dane, La Cour, and is to determine the characteristics of the magnetic field in this region. Conducted Through Lab. Scannell to Speak J, J. Scannell, secretary of the Michigan Federation of Labor, will discussthe proposed Old Age Pen- sion bill which will come before the next session of the legislature, at an open meeting Monday night in the Ann Arbor Labor temple.

They call themselves the Red Arrow Club of Ann Arbor, and during this year's program, will give away to their customers approximately $30,000.00 in Fine Merchandise and Gold. The Gold will be given only to Churches and other Civic Organizations. The Merchandise will be given to individuals who save Red Arrow Money which is issued only by the Red Arrow Stores. EACH MONTH THERE IS HELD A Demorest says that Carlson and he were conducted through Olsen's observatory and had everything ex- plained to them. Way down in a deep cellar whose walls are insul- ated to keep the temperature con- stant through summer and winter, are two sets of apparatus, one to measure the vertical, and one the horizontal components of the mag- netic field. This room is also kept dark so that a photographic graph of the variations can be made. This is accomplished by means. of a small light which flashes each minute and whose rays are reflected from a mirror on each magnet to a pho- tographic plate. A very accurate clock, which has lost but one sec- ond in the last five years, is the heart of the whole system for it sets off, automatically, each of the various timing devices throughout the laboratory. Scenery Is Beautiful More easily understood is the beautiful scenery about Godhaven and the novelty of its barrenness, says Demorest. The harbor which is a long angular cut that once severed a small island from the main land and is now choked at the east end, is lined on the north with great steep bluffs reaching 2,000 feet. The face of these cliffs, except one or two sloping valleys where a little grass grows, are al- most perpendicular and entirely broken by frost so that the lower part is but a pile of rock and grav- el which has fallen from the upper portion. Due to weathering the whole cliffs are beautifully, though con- servatively colored in shades of brown and red. Except for a few buildings along the shore, all of the dwellings are built on large, flat rock, and one must virtually climb from one place to another. SYDNEY UNIVERSITY- Because those in charge of the university electrical substation leave duty late in the afternoon, a blown-out fuse recently brought irreparable dark- ness to the entire campus, Clerk Receives Ballots Applications for absent voters' ballots have been received at the city clerk's office, and are ready for distribution, Fred C. Perry, city clerk, said yesterday. The ballots, when filling out, are to be returned to the city clerk's office, Perry said, and on election day delivery of the ballots will be made to the various polling places in the city.

Secretary of Agriculture Urges Congress Use 1932 Money. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. -- Plans of Seeretary Arthur M. Hyde to request Congress to make 1932 al- lotments of Federal aid money for highway construction immediately available to provide emergency em- ployment in drouth states were announced today by H. S. Fair- banks, assistant to the chief of the Bureau of Public Roads. Fairbanks said the drouth states also had large unexpended sums of appropriations made for previous fiscal years which they could spend toward road construction between now and July 1, 1931, when the 1932 allotments ordinarily would be available. Although Dr. C. W. Warburton, secretary of the National Drouth Relief Committee, had advised for- mer Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia that the 1932 allotments already had been made available, it was explained by Comptroller-General J. R. McCarl that no appropriation made for a fiscal year could be spent until that fiscal year unless Congress specifically made it avail- abie at a prior date. The apportionment of the 1932 allotments to states was announced by Secretary Hyde in August to permit the states to make con- tracts against the sums that they were thereby assured of receiving after July l, 1931. MALE QUARTET TO SING On the air at 10 o'clock Monday evening over stations WABC and WXYZ, the Robert Burns Panatela program featuring Guy Lombardo, and his Royal Canadians, will be broadcast in dedication to Michi- gan. Appearing with Lombardo is a well known male quartet who will sing Michigan songs. A special fea- ture by the "Lady in the Smoke" will conclude the program of Uni- versity tunes. Lombardo and his Canadians have leapt from obscurity to nation- wide prominence within the past few short years, swinging into pop- ularity with an individualistic slow tempo rhythm that is distinctly their own. Of the many catchy songs introduced and carried made famous byrLombardo "St. Louis Blues" is perhaps the most famous. Lombardo started as an orchestra. leader 13 years agoawhen, with the same personnel that is with him today, he organized a high school orchestra in Ontario. They played for high school functions, minor so- cial engagements, dances, and for troops in training. Larger profes- sional engagements followed on the radio and today they are known from coast to coast by radio listen- ers. Requests for the songs to be used on the program were sent in to University officials early in the year. All of the songs listed for the program are well known campus and football tunes. 2.
