SPLIT IS

ALTERNATIVE

Party Chief Warns That Issue
Must Be Settled in Time'
for Convention.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--(UP)#The
: emocratic party faced today the
freshly stated desire of Chairman
Raskob to keep the prohibition is-
sue to the fore in this year of presi-
dential election.

,

Under a warning that its virtual
destruction would be the alterna-
tive, the -chairman laid down a
pressing demand that theparty de-
clare at the conventionthis sum-
mer for submitting the entire ques-
tion to the people fo a new deci-
sion.
He was equally emphatic that the
party itself keep on the fence, go-
ing neither wet nor dry, until the
voters have had their say. Raskob
made public his views Tuesday
night in a lengthy letter to the na-
tional c.ommittee he; heads, supple-
mnenting this with remarks evoked
by questioning reporters who sur-
rounded him as he arrived for the
committee meeting Saturday.
Sees Split as Alternative.
The stand for resubmission; con-
tended the chairman, will allow the
contending elements in the party,-
both wets aid supporters of prohi-
bition, to find common ground. The
alternative, as he saw it, was either,
a party rent asunder, north against
south, or a party diminished in im-
portance by the rise of a third po-
litical group, a "liberal" party.
With publication of the letter
other business to come before the
committee session, such as selec-
tion of the convention city and
date, faded into the background.
Doesn't Propose Repeal.
To avoid a repetition of the out-
break he precipitated with the is-
sue last March, the chairman in-
tended, he said, to ask the com-
mittee to refer his'plan to the con-
vention, without declaring itself fpr
or against. But anoutbreak seem-
ed unavoidable, nevertheless.
The proposition A1askob wishes
laid before the voters does not in-
volve complete repeal of prohibi-
tion, but rather a choice between
retention of the eighteenth amend-

Takes to Housework.
After Anemia .Cure'
Four years ago a high school
football coach, whose namesmust
remain unprinted due to University
Hospital regulations, tipped the
beams at 400 pounds and towered
six feet tall. He got an infected leg
and his doctor told him he had an
anemic condition that could be
cured only by hearty eating. Not
that he wasn't already doing that.
So he atl and in three or four'
years he increased his avoirdupois.
152 pounds. Finding it impossible
to carry the 552 pounds more than
100 feet without puffing like a steam
epgine, he was forced to retire from
his job and take up his wife's job
of housekeeping while she in turn
took up teaching. He took a chair
where ever he went and sat down"
on it as he worked. t
His waist line was 89 inches. The
average is about 31. He maintained
his balance onfy by bending his
head back and spreading his Mfeet
apart.
Now Dr. L.,H. Newburgh, at the
University Hospital has him on a
strict diet of greens. When in for

ed 165 pounds less than when he

Overfattened Coach - Federal Government Appropriations Promote

That the vocational education
department of the Uni ersity is fi-
nanced by the federal governnrent,
in addition to the regular Univer-
sity appropriation, is not perhaps
a matter of common, knowledge
among students.
The foundation of federal aid to
vocatiotial education goes back to
the Morrill land grant act of 1862,
according to Prof. Thomas Diamond
of the Education school, who grant-_
ed pan interview apropos of the .re-
cent report of the National Advis-
ory Committee on Education. This
body, of which Dean J. B. Edmon-
son was a, member, advocated, after
two years of deliberation, a federal
education department headed by a

cabinet member created for this
purpose.
Michigan State college, an agri-
cultural school, exists under the
same Morrill land ,rant act, to-
gether with later supplementary
provisions.
The University of Michigan ap-
propriations, however, are made
under the terms of. the.: Smith-
Iughes act of 1917. Thus, the fed-
eral government provides a sum of
money equal to that expended by
the individual state for training of
vocational teachers.. The University:
vocational department, which trains
teachers in industrial education, is
financed by equal amounts of mon-
ey from federal and state govern-
ments, over and above the regular
University appropriation.
Ypsilanti Normal and Michigan
State colleges also share in the ap-
propriations made under this act,
.on the same state-federal basis.
Money for the training of agricul-
tural teachers is paid to Michigan
State, while that institution divides,
with the normal college the work of
schooling home economics teachers.
As the work under the Morrill
ac' began to. function, much agri-
cultural knowledge was gathered.
In order to carry that knowledge,
directly to .the farm, extension
courses to the farmer were provid- 1
ed for in 1914 by the Smith-Lever
act.

An institute of family relations
will be held at four o'clock on Sun-
day afternoons during January in
the auditorium of Lane Hall. Four
speakers have been secured to deal
I with problems of home life, and the
meetings and follow-up conferences
are under the general supervision
of the Unitarian Church.
The first speaker, who will speak
this Sunday, will be Dr. Robert
Dexter, secretary of the department
of social relations of the American
Unitarian association, Boston. He
will speak on. "Factors which Make
and Break the Home" and will re-
main over Monday morning to meet
anyone who desires a private con-
ference.
Other speakers in the series andC
their topics are, Dr. Katherine
Greene, "Problems of Child, Adjust-
ment" January 17; . Dr.. John F.
Shepard; "Personal Adjustment as
a Factor in Successful Living," Jan-
uary 24; Dr. Theophile Raphael, of
the University Health Service, on
"Young People and their Problems,'
January 31.
The object, of the lectures is to
bring information to the commun-
ity in the important matter of suc-
cessful home life. All adults of the
city, irrespective of the state of
their family relations are cordially

arrangements have assured them-
selves that the institute:is not'over-
lapping with the work of any com-
'nunity welfare agency; several
committee members .also Are 'Aem-

ty welfare bureaus.

Inmate Is Allowed
to Keep His Canary
Business in- Prison
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-(AP)-The
bird man. of Leavenworth peni-
tentiary'may keep his canaries.
A general prohibition of private
"business" in the prisons threat-
ened the avocation of Robert
Stroud, twice a murderer.
But officials tday fitted the rule
to the case, permnitting him to con-
tinue as a hobby-rider. unique
among all the federal prison pop-
ulation. .
Moreover, he probably will be
given a' double cell for his1 work,
and an oculist will guard his eyes
from injury froi the artificial light
under which he studies. The cur-
ious case has -moved one official
to determination Stroud shall have
a microscope and a scientific test
of a bird-cure he developed,
Something over 23 years ago,
Stroud, a youth of 20, left home in
Seattle for..Alaska. In a barroom
in Juneau, he quarreled, fought,
and struck a fatal blow. Convicted
of manslaughter, he ias sent to
Leavenworth. Seven fearslater,
he gave the signal for a riot at-
( tempt by fatally stabbing a guard
in the mess hall. Convicted againj
of murder, he was .saved..from. the'
gallows by Woodrow Wilson. He
has been in "the hole," as the pris-
oners call solitary confinement,
ever since.
One day a pair of sparrows drift-
ed into his cell. Stroud tamed
them, and 'got the idea of raising
a few canaries. Soon there was a
three-tiered rove of cages on the.
cell walls. When Stroud's mother.
came from Kansas City tosee him,>
she carried some of the, yellow sing.-
ers away and sold them. ,Together
they built up the occupation until
bird-fanciers over the nation were
seeking consultation' by mail.
