An assertion that Washington, D. C., is as much a rebel against the Eighteenth anmend ment as t h e youthful colonies were revolution- ists against George III, was made by the Crusaders, mifitant anti- prohibition organization, in a re- pore issued yesterday following the results of an investigation into the liquor situation of the Capital in which it was revealed that 11,671 warrants for speakeasy arests were made last year. The report states that although Washington police were' unwilling to cooperate with the organization, a map of the city showing the loca- tion of the various places where liquor raids were made was drawn in which are a number of interest- ing revelations. "Four ofthe more unfortunate Speakeasies of 1931 were within, one block of W. C. T. U. headquarters," the report 5ays. "About 20 were situated within two blocks of po- lice dcpartment headquarters and six were within two blocks of the Anti-saloon league headquarters." Others were listed as being within hailing distance of the Prohibition bureau, Veteran's bureau and with- in two blocks of the WhitQ -louse. "The number of speakeasies raid- ed." the paper goes on to say, "are thre times the number of licensed saloons before- the, Volstead act." Further statistics revealed ii the report show that 63 per cent were in the better districts of Washing- ton. The report, along with the map which was drawn up by the organ- ization, has been forwarded to all local Crusader battalions and is be- ing publicized th oughout the cun- try. On account of the government pay roll, other large pay rolls in the Capitol, and the large building pro- gram, Washington, D. C., is the least affected of any United States city by the present depression. t (Continued from Page 4) a fever country, was made during the rainy season, and Dr. Ruthven spent several years recovering from severe malarial attacks. Then, while driving to Utah one summer with his younger son, his car was struck by a bolt of lightning. Neither father nor son were injured but according to ill reports the elder Ruthven established a new automo- bile speed record immediately fol- lowing the c r a s h, disregarding statements that "lightning doesn't THURSDAY, FEBRUJ Alexander G. Ruthven ... wMYi W11Yk strike twice in the same place." The President's chief hobby con- sists of collecting old literature on the subject of natural history. He has gathered together more than 65,000 volumes; many of them rare autographed copies, others fi r s t editions, valuable because of their scarcity. "The unfortunate aspect of this hobby," the President once stated, "is that you reach a stage where the copies you most desire ar very rare and very expensive. And your family begins to kickabout sacri- ficing their food and clothing for the sake of your books." President Ruthven is a Fellow of the American. Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sci- ences, and a member of the Ameri- can Society of Naturalists, the So- ciety of American Zoologists, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, (pr esid en t, 1928), the London Zoological So- cicty, the Michigan Academy of Science, (president, 1913-15), and many others. Last year he was ad- mitted to the American Philosophi- cal Society, an organization which has included in its membership 12 presidents of the United States. Now that he is an administrator, President Ruthven is kept busy travelling about the country in the interests of the University. One week will find him meeting with some society or other in the East. The following week he might be de livering an address before the stu- dents of some western college. But wherever he is or, whatever he may be doing, there is one per- iod which finds him back in Anil Arbor. The first two Wednesdays of each Monday he plays host to the students of Michigan at Mich'- gan's "White House." There, with Mrs. Ruthven (she is the first "first lady" of the Universty who has graduated at Michigan) he serves tea and cakes to the group of stu- dents who gather to look over his collections, inspect the living-room, dining-room, and library of a, uni- versity president, and- finger the rare volumes found therein. Re- turning a week, a month, or even a 'year later, students find that their President has not forgotten them and is able to address them by their correct names. Benjamin N. C rdozo, chosen as associate justice 'bf the U n i t e d States Supreme court on Monday. by President Hoover to fill the place recently vacated by Oliver Wendell Holmes, was given the degreeD f LL.D. by the University of Michigan in 1923. 1 As a result of the use of x-rayI and radium, there will be a greatI reduiction of the cancer death rate in the near future, according to Dr. Harold W. Jacox, who spoke yester- day afternoon over the University broadcasting station on "Modern Use of X-Rays and Radium in the Treatment of Cancer." "We should not be too enthusias- tic about present results," saidDr. Jacox, "for it is still in its early stage of development, and much improvement may reasonably be expected in the future. The limita- tions, on the other hand, must be fully ,understood and rigidly re- spected." Soon after the discovery of radi- um, -it was used as a cure-all in medicines, continued Dr. Jacox. It was soon learned, however, that there were only a few definite con- ditions for which it has a very defi- nite use. Due to improper treatment, the use of radium fell into ill-repute at first. Later, however, treatment methods were developed which were more or less certain of success, and a' the same,-time avoiding serious 'injuries. Within the last few years great i advances have been made in the use of radium, and we now have an international unit of dosage, stated Dr. Jacox. Thus we have a greater) chance of duplicating good results throughout the world. 'X-rays and radium are danger- ous double-edged instruments," he continued, "which may do untold harm or great good. People are often found who resort to the in- discriminate and irregular use of these agents." In discussing cancer, Dr. Jacox said that it is not a contagious or catching disease. Neither is it a blood disease or something of which to be ashamed. If situated where it can be eradicated at an early stage, the disease can be cured. "In the opinion of most physi- cians cancer itself is not heredi- tary," he said, "although it is' prob- able that a certain predisposition or susceptibility to cancer can be in- herited. This does not signify that because one's parents or relatives have suffered from cancer, it will necessarily appear in other persons of the same succeeding generation." f Ann Arbor Art Association Purchase Water Color With Hunl Fund. to At a recent meeting of the Ann Arbor Art Association, it was decid-' ed to purchase, a water; color by Professori Myropn B. Chapin, of the College of Architecture as a memo- rial to Miss Alice Hunt, the first and for many years the only repre- sentatiVe of art on the Michigan faculty. MissyHunt left a small sum of1 money to the University for the1 purchase of art pieces. Until this year the money -has remained in the bank untouched, with the in- terest accumulating each year. The money has been used for the pur- chase of Professor Chapin's water color "Willows." The picture was painted at Provincetown, Mass., in the summer of 1930. It will be hung in Alumni Memorial hall and will be known as the Alice Hunt memo- rial. ~ ANNY ONDRA will convulse you with her antics in -"DIE VOM RUMMELPLATZ" S( "Carnival Folks") A musical talkie-German dialogue Starting Sunday-ANNA MAY WONG. in "THL' WAY TO SHAME" (her first talkie) Admission .... .....50c Shows Contiuous Saturday Matinees...35c -W hitney- 7 to 11 Nightly Children .....:.....10c Mats. at 3 Sat. &S ... . ,. flO il BUILDI NGGU T A' BE ECESSARY (Continued from Page 1) year's conference is exceeding even, his expectations in regard to num-' ber in attendaice and problems be- ing discussed.
