temporarily at least.
The "mint" in this particular
case happens to be Albert W. Ben-
ham, who has picked up a lot of
nicknames lately including "Midas,"
"the one-man mint" and "Big-
Money Al" because he has gained
the reputation of paying from 20
to 50 per cent to investors.
Monday was pay day. Al paid as
usual, but refused to accept any
more money for investment, even
rej ecting old customers.
"To tell the truth," he said, "I'm
getting just a bit nervous. It isn't
because the grand jury is sched-
uled to investigate me next week.
My business iS on the level and the
grand jury will be just a bunch of
my friends. But I'm getting nerv-
ous at the way the papers have
been making a national figure of
me. Look at that stack of letters.

People Hurry Too Much.
Dr. Onderdonk explained that
the reason that small incidents of-
ten cause students to commit sui-
cide is as Will Rogers has said, be-
cause they were so busy getting to
a place in a hurry that they did
not have time to figure out why
they wanted to get there.
It is in furtherance of a modern
philosophy that the Tolstoy league
has in the past, and will continue
in the future, to function on the
campus, he explained.
"The league should appeal to all
those who are dissatisfied with the
religion of their ancestors, who are
interested in 'weltanschauung,' a
German expression meaning an at-
titude combining a world philoso-
phy and a view of life as a whole,"
he- continued.
States Aim of League.
"The aim of the Tolstoy league,'
Dr. Onderdonk said, "is to make
the student forget marks, J-Hop,
fraternities, and football games
long. enough to figure out their ulti-
mate goal."
He explained that the ultimate
goal or the aim in life, as Tolstoy
stated it, wqs to seek happiness, not
by satisfying one's vanity because
of selfish aims, as 99 per cent of the
people do, but to seek happiness in
serving others and trying to "bring
about the kingdom of God on
earth."

Morris K. Jessup Completes
Three Year Research in
African Observatory.
Morris K. Jessup, who has been
working for the last three years
under Dr. Richard A. Rossiter of
the Lamont-Hussey observatory of
the University located in Bloemfon-
tein, South Africa, has returned to
Ann Arbor, it was learned yester-
day.
Mr. Jessup will assist Dr. Heber
D. Curtis, head of the astronomy
department and director of the
University observatory, in prepar-
ling for publication the results of
the work of the expedition during
the last three years. It is planned
to publish the information as Vol-
ume V of the publications of the
observatory and will be known as
the Hussey Memorial volume, Dr.
Curtis said.
The Lamont-Hussey observatory
at Bloemfontein, South Africa, was
established for the purpose of
searching out new double stars in
that large portion of the heavens
which is inaccessible from northern
stations. The project was conceived
by William J. Hussey, former di-
rector, and the expedition was fi-
nanced by Robert P. Lamont, '91.

two principal difficulties, Harper
said, are the general lack of game
and the trespassing that accom-
