PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, OCT. 9, 1932 PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, OCT. 9, 1932 Sinologist Links Natural Science With Art Study U. S. Army Chief Of Staff Meets King Carol Museum Curator Scientific Trend In Art Research Notes Taken Photo Test Is Used Conducts Work In Study Of Celadon Specimens From Far East Contrary to general belief, the study of art and natural science have much in common, according to Ben- jamin March, sinologist. Mr. March, who divides his time between the po- sitions of curator of the Division of the Orient in the University Museum of Anthropology and curatory of as- iatic art at the Detroit Institute of Art, has discovered this from his own rather unusual combination of work. "Once the particular province of the vague esthete, art history is tak- ing a definite scientific turn," Mr. March said in an interview. "Re-I search is carried out in a scientific spirit, often requiring historical and even chemical analysis." Mr. March has been an honorary member of the museums staff for four years. This, however, is his first year of active work. At present he is devoting his time here to the development of objective methods for classifying Chinese art, especially of porcelains brought back by Dr. Carl E. Guthe, also of the museums, from the Philippines in 1922. He is mak- ing physical tests of hardness and also attempting to develop criteria of glaze texture by photographic means. Mr. March's more particular study is devoted to specimens of the cela- don, a gray-green porcelain popular in China from the eighth century to the present day, and probably reach- ing its"heighth in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Remains of ce- ladon found in the near East, Tur- key, Persia, and Egypt, as well as in the Philippines, serve to show how far-flung was Chinese commerce, since ethnologists now agree that all celadon was produced in China. Silk and celadon were ancient China's chief e x p o r t s, according to Mr. March. Four years residence in China, from 1923 to 1927, and a special re- search trip to the Orient in 1931 under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies, serve as a back ground to 'Mr. March's pres- ent work. A gain of 52 students over last year's enrollment is reported by thel University of Florida. Crusaders To Open Victoriy Fund Campatiign Depend On 'Pocket-ook Interest' Of Citizens To Put Campaign Over CLEVELAND, Oct. 8-- Men and women want jobs. They want, to retain their homes. They want low- ered taxes. They want money to spend. This "pocket-book i n t e r e s t" of American citizens is dealing the final blow to prohibition, The Crusaders' national comman- der-in-chief, Fred G. Clark, in pre- paring for the, opening of the Vic- tory Fund Campaign for $500,000 October 10, revealed the results of a survey of the more than 90 Crusad- er battalions in the country, the most important fact of which is the link- ing of repeal with the return of some, degree of prosperity in the minds of increasing numbers of voters. "Those who study the history of prohibition since 1920 and the sta- tistics on drinking and the money spent for drink annually cannot help but come to the same conclusion: that (1) the greatest single indus- try in the United States produces no federal income by way of taxes; (2) this means a heavy added bur- den on tax payers; (3) while millions are unemployed and many losing their homes, bootleggers continue to line their pockets with gold; and (4) repeal and the subsequent estab- lishment in the various states of liquor control that will protect those who wish to remain dry is the mostJ important immediate step available in the return of prosperity," said Clark. "The legitimate taxin gof spirits and beer, based on the 1917 con- sumption which was relatively small because of the war, and of wine, on' the estimated minimum consuump- tion of 1931, would produce more than $1,500,000,000 in tax revenue. 'This would be sufficient to pay the interest on the bonded indebtedness of the federal, state, county and municipal governments and leave a $200,000,000 balance. "Relief of the tax burden is un- questionably the most important fac- tor in bringing about a new pros- perity.". The Crusaders are sure of gaining a majority of wet members of Con- gress in the lower house in the com- ing elections, Clark said. Economists Can't Stop Lawnnowers' Putt-Putt EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 8.-Eco- nomic theorizing on the North- western campus suffered a hu- miliating set-back today at the hands of a determined lawn mower operator. Approaching the rostrum to deliver his lecture to an eagerly waiting group of eco- nomic students, an eminent pro- fessor of the University became aware of the steady putt-putt of a law mower, the staccato efforts of which effectually drowned out his comparatively puny vocal efforts. A husky individual was depu- tized to silence the offender. The noise ceased a moment and then cheerfully continued. Amid the cheers of the class another com- mittee of reconciliation was leav- ing to enter into negotiations when the first crusader returned. In answer to the baffled profes- sors appealing look he announced, "he says you economists have stopped enough machines, but you can't stop his.

Future Wallpaper To Be Made From Photos, Predicted Tomorrow's ultra-smart pent-house will feature huge photographic treat- ments of contemporary subjects ap- plied, as wall paper panelling to re- place the chromium-suede effect so pronounced at present, according to the latest plans of the American Painters and Photographers Associa- tion which is sponsoring an exhibit at Alumni Memorial Hall opening Oct. 10 and lasting two weeks. The exhibit, which was organized and first shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, will in- clude post-war subjects in murals by the foremost American painters and camera artists. Wide-spread comment and some criticism has been drawn by the un- usual nature of the exhibit. The 11 photo-murals revealing the ability ofI a photographer to transform a bridge, a sky-scraper or a steel plant into an artistic wall covering aroused great interest in their first showings. Get Numerous Lecture Series Ticket Orders Mail orders for season tickets to the 1932-33 lecture series have been received in exceptionally heavy vol- ume, it was stated yesterday by the Oratorical Association.. This was attributed partly to the distinction of the six speakers en- gaged, and partly to the move of the board in control to make prices the' lowest in the association's existence. Distinction of mail order tickets will begin Wednesday and continue throughout the week. An over-the- counter sale will be announced later. -Lowell Thomas, noted author and historian, will open the lecture series on Oct. 29 with a travel-talk, "From Singapore to Mandalay," illustrated with motion pictures. The association voluntarily released him from ap- pearing on2the previously scheduled date, Oct. 22, so that he might re- main in New York to be presented the Legion of Honor. Twenty-three North Carolina cit- ies reported no fire loss during Au- gust. Plan New Bond Ssue; Retires Maturing Notes Seek $450,000,000 To Pay Certificates, Interest On Public Debt WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-(P)-New financing operations, putting govern- ment borrowing for the fiscal year past the $3,000,000,000 mark, have been planned by the treasury, Acting Secretary Ballantine an- nounced that $450,000,000 of 3 per cent 41/2 year treasury notes will be sold Oct. 15. The money will go to retiring $333,492,000 of maturing treasury certificates and meeting $155,000,000 in interest on the public debt. This transaction will make a total of $3,228,570,362 in government bor- rowings since July 15, and of $1,987,- 000,000 in outstanding securities re- tired during that period. Continued low tax receipts was the explanation advanced for the new financing. The federal deficit on Oct. 3, was $404,710,415 and of- ficials saw little prospect in its ma- terial reduction for some months.
