UNITY TO BE EMPHASIZE
"The Dawning era" is to be the
subject of the group of lectures toj
be given this year by the Tolstoyt
league, it was announced today by
the office of the organization. The
lectures have been grouped under
one head so that the idea of unity
Imay be emphasized to the students.
"The League is trying to promote
a new philosophy," Dr. F. S. Onder-
donk, of the architectural college
and faculty advisor to the group,
said. "In this series of talks we will
attempt to give students a basis
on which to build a modern con-
ception of life so that new stand-
is and attitudes wil prevail."
j 'he first of these lectures will

M of. D. B. McLaughlin of the
astronomy department, will discuss
"our place among the stars." The
lecture will be given at 7 : 0 o'clock
Saturday night in room 231, Angell
Hall. Other subjects to be discussed
in the future include; "Martyrs of
Peace and Justice," "Prophets, H.
G. Wells and L. N. Tolstoy," '4Diet,"
"Religion," and "Language" and
"Politics."
Kentucky tobacco fields are ex-
pected to yield a crop of 398,277,000

EDUCATION VCLUB
WILL MEET TODAY
District Teachers Will Attend
Meeting in Detroit.
District nine of the Michigan Ed-
ucational society will meet today
and tomorrow in Detroit, Dean
James B. EdmonsQn of the School
of Education, stated yesterday.
The program will consist of a
general meeting of the entire dis-
I trict, division meetings for teachers
l of groups of grades, and section
meetings for those interested in the
teaching of special subjects.
Prof. Clarence D. Thorpe of the
English department will preside at
the English section meeting while
Fred Walcott of the University High
school faculty will lecture at the
same meeting. M. L. Byrn, also of
the University High school, will lead
the round table discussion of the
manual arts and industrial educa-
tion meeting. Warren R. Good of the
same school and Dr. Theodore R.
Running, of the engineering col-
lege will speak to the mathematius
group. Dr. George C. Kyte and Prof.
Clifford Woody, both of the School

mentary meeting.
Strunk Will Lecture
at Zoology Seminar
Announcement was made yester-
day of the first zoology seminar of
the year to be held at 7:30 o'clock
Thursday night, Nov. 6, in room
2116, Natural Science building. Dr.
Peter Okkleberg, of the department
of zoology, stated yesterday that
William Strunk will speak on "Ter-
ritory in Mammal Life."

Jef'erscn C:Iff-ry, Anerica minister to Colombia is organizing an expedition to ascend Nevado del Tolima
hoping to fi. there poef ° a; the present equator was once the Arctic region.

They will be aided in their at-
tempt by the most modern alpineS
equipment available. It is being
shipped from the United States to
the American legation here at Mr.
Caffery's expense. The expedition
will be made in January to take ad-
vantage of the summer heat which,
it is believed, will serve to break
down the lower glacial barriers.
The American diplomat is well
fitted to lead the expedition. An

enthusiastic mountain-climber in
North and South America, he holds
the record of also having made the
ascent of the volcano Asama San,
in Japan. His climb in Colombia
will be reminiscent of his experi-
ences in Japan, for Tolima shares
with the famous Japanese height,
Fujiyama, the distinction of being
one of the two most perfect moun-
tain cones in the world.
Tolima. is regarded as one of the

few, if not the only, equatorial
places in which remnants of the
Pliocene Arctic areas might be
found. Frozen fast, in the polar
cold of millions of years, the Ameri-
can explorers may be able to find
the proof of the geologi!c theory
that the world once upset on its
axis, putting part of its tropics at
the north and south poles and its
Arctic regions on the equator.

Nineteen Varieties of Michigan
Birds Shown in Natural

"Birds of a feather flock togeth-
er," says the proverb . .. but not at
the University museum.
Throwing caution to the winds, it
has housed together 19 species of
Michigan's feathered creatures in
one large case. Of course, any petty
quarrels have been prevented by the
minor matter of having all of the
birds stuffed.
A walk of 15 feet in front of the
"Michigan Birds" display revealed'
winged friends in the process of
nesting, eating, cooing, and sight-
seeing. The wide-billed female rud-
dy duck was bending her neck,
seemingly in the act of searching
for food, while her masterful mate
kept guard with a lift of hi's sight-
ly red neck. Their friend, the ring-
necked duck, looked on only six
inches away and uttered not a
sound.
Far over in the bird-land, at least
three feet away, the caspian tern

in the air, as if to snub his neigh-
bor, an elegant black duck who was
resplendent in the beauty of his
blue-brown wings. Another couple,
the old squaw family, who evident-
ly were awaiting the arrival of a
new squaw, were beautiful with
their snow white throats.I
Domestic happiness wasn't both-'

He was having a glorious tme arch-
ing his long, black neck in defiance
of the loon in the opposite end of
the case, who seemed to be laugh-
ing at the silly old goose; for hadn't
he something the gander couldn't
boast, a white stomach and a spec-
kled back?
"Who cares," the bald-pate seemed
to say, "a white head denotes wis-
dom, and wisdom is the greatest of
all possessions."
