t THE MICHIGAN DAILY Newest Airline Is To Connect Hemispheres Visitors To University Zoo Are Means Of Amusing The Inmates Line Plaiv Asia And To Giant Plane NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-f Pr-Cal. Charles A. Lindbergh has emerged from months of seclusion to attend announcement of what one technical expert calls the dawn of the ultimate stage in aviation, the linking of the hemispheres by commercial passen- ger and freight airplanes. The announcement was made late Wednesday at a meeting presided over by Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan-American Airways, and at- tended by Col. Lindbergh, who heads that company's staff of technicians. "Pan-American Airways has let to- day two contracts for complete en- gineering work covering different types of ocean transport airplanes," read a formal announcement. "Both types have complied with specifications laid down by Pan- American's technical committee of which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is chairman." Plans Include Both Oceans Behind this bald announcement it soon appeared from verbal amplifi- cation by Trippe, seated at a broad efficient desk, and Col. Lindbergh, sitting on the edge of another desk with one long leg swinging ceaseless- ly, lay an achievement of modern science and industry rivaling the romances of history. The interpretation verbally inter- lined in the formal announcement disclosed a plan already well under way to completion for great airlines covering the greatest oceans of the world, linking America with Europe and with Asia by giant flying boats capable of taking into the air 50 passengers apiece besides a payingJ load of mail and express.I The contracts mentioned in the announcement have to do only with the "engineering work" preparatory to actual construction of the planes, but that may bencompleted in about three months and then will come the actual building, which may take as much as two years. Planes To Be Fast The engineering work contracts went to the Sikorsky Co. of Bridge- port, Conn., and the Martin Co. of Baltimore. It was generally under- stood that when the engineering work is completed those companies will start construction of the world's largest a n d fastest commercial planes. In connection with this reticence, it was learned that preparatory work has been under way for about a year and that it has been guarded with the strictest secrecy lest some com- petitive nation discover what is be- ing done and start doing the same thing. If you want to do the University Museums people a favor, run over to the zoo in back of the building some time and visit the animals there. It's all a part of the policy of keeping their wild pets contented, and they figure that Pete and Ted, Bobby, Woofus, Foxy, and Porky get more entertainment from seeing you than you do from looking them over. And as far as that goes, the boys behind the bars down there are al- ways doing something to amuse their keepers and friends, says Crystal Thompson, curator of visual educa- tion at the museums. Even His Fleas Are Ritzy Take the young porcupine that ar- rived with a bad case of fleas, for example-the highest grade of Ros- common county fleas. Now porkies don't throw their quills around, as is commonly believed, but the spines are loosely attached, and it's a deli- -ate job to de-flea one. When Porky saw them coming with heavy leather gloves and a can of flea powder, the story goes, he kindly lifted his quills 3o they could dust in the powder. The raccoon, it would seem, feels just the opposite from humans in re- gard to cleanliness-he practices it but doesn't consider it a virtue. At least that's what you'd gather if you saw him carefully turning his food over and over in the water of his drinking fountain or swimming pool -and looking elsewhere all the while. Even if he wants the contents of an egg, he has to scrub the shell thor- oughly. Has Badger for Pet If one takes them young enough, badgers can be trained as fine pets, Miss Thompson said, but she would not recommend them to the average I American family, since they're pretty violent in their play and infernally hard on the furniture. That doesn't stop her from keeping one at home, much like a cat or dog. When the present zoo badger first arrived at the museums, it was given the run of one of the laboratories. Then it played with old shoes, milk bottles, rubber dolls, and rattles, and took especial delight in dancing over the feet and nipping the ankles of whomever was beating up the raw eggs for its breakfast. Now it has a sand box in its zoo pen. It can still be brought out and petted. Bobcat Not Sociable Only the bobcat stands aloof. He was full-grown when caught in a trap in northern Michigan and brought here. He has gotten over his original unpleasantness and has grown fat and sleek, but his keepers still do not go into his cage. Pete and Ted are the black bears, who together with red Foxy, remain out of doors even in the coldest weather. The bears take their meaty bones, bread and milk (the softies!), apples, and carrots from the keeper's hand. Miss Thompson also pointed out that the chief secret of raising young animals is in their diet. Their milk should be very rich, and they should be fed frequently, even if one has to get up two or three hours during the night to feed them from a medicine dropper, as Miss Thompson once did with seven young rabbits. They feel that they owe it to "the boys" to make things as comfortable as possible, and only when "the boys" are contented can they learn worth- while things about their habits.

Drill MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 1.- (Big Ten)-A vigorous attack against compulsory military drill at the Uni- versity of Minnesota was started last week by Professor George P.

A., are planning to carry the fight through this year and to avoid the falures of past at- tempts to put R. O. T. C. training on an optional basis. . When A Man Bites His Own Knee That Constitutes N e w s URBANA, Ill., Nov. 30.-The age- old newspaper gag, "When a dog bites a man that's nothing, but when a man bites a dog, that's news," is being revived at the University of Illinois since H. Wrigley's strange ac- cident. Wrigley is a beginning fly- man in aerial gymnastics. The other day he was trying a new stunt, the flip, which is turning a somersault after leaving the topman's hands and falling into the net. On his first at- tempt Wrigley landed in a crouch- ing position and forgot to spread his knees. Net result: three loose teeth, a pair of puffed lips, and a deep bite in his knee cap. And that is what they call news. PO~IZTAIN PENS8 Parker, Sheafer, Wfaterman, Conklin, etc., $1.00 and up. A large and choice assorbiesnt 314 S. State St., An Arbor. HOLEPROOF HOSIERY %.
