March Lectures To Architects Here On Chinese Paintings Emphasizing that Chinese art had not been recognized as art until the present century, Benjamin March, Freer Fellow and curator of the divi- sion of the Orient in the Museum of Anthropology, spoke yesterday aft- ernoon at the Architectural College. Up until 1900 Chinese art was classed ethnographically along with other handicraft, Mr. March stated, and then for a short period it was highly regarded, not for its value as art but in admiration of the techni- cal excellence. At the present time, authorities have come to place Chinese painting and sculpture along with that of Oc- cidental countries, according to Mr. March. "It is highly regarded for its "Majestic Maturity,' and it shows the evidences of a serious, broad- minded, and mellowed culture," he said. There is nothing mean, low- minded, or childish in Chinese art, according to Mr. March, who termed it "essentially adult." Bronzes, pottery, sculpture, and painting, were discussed at the lec- ture which was attended by Prof. Walter W. J. Gores' class in the his- tory of allied arts, members of the faculty of the College of Architec- ture, and architectural students. Receiver Appointed For Ypsilanti Bank Proposal For Sham Battle Is Put To Officers Rogers Tells O.R.C. Men Of Plan To Divide The Local R.O.T.C. Unit Plans for a regulation sham battle between two units of the Reserve Of- ficers w e r e presented Wednesday night at a smoker in the Union by Lieut.-Col. Frederick C. Rogers. Mr. Rogers' idea would provide for the organizations of the Reserve Of- ficers into two units, acting separ- ately, who will develop themselves into regular wartime forces and will undergo all the steps from mobiliza- tion and training to actual combat. The actual battle is to be held some- time in the spring, where the two outfits will finally meet each other on some terrain near Ann Arbor. The units will consist of every branch of the army as represented in the local O. R. C. and each reserve officer will have a specific job to hold down according to his rank and branch. "This plan, if approved by the corps area, will be the most elaborate program ever undertaken by a single chapter of the O ffi c e r s Reserve Corps," said Frederick S. Randell, Assitant General Secretary of the Michigan Alumni Association and Secretary of the Ann Arbor O. R. C. "It is paralleled only by the corps area problems which Major General Parker presents to his field officers." It is expected that around 180 offi- cers will participate, of which 140 live in Ann Arbor and 91 are on the Michigan campus. Sun spots, the storms on the sun that wax and wane through eleven- year cycles, and three elements of w e a t h e r on earth - temperature, rainfall and atmospheric pressure - seem closely connected, according to studies recently reported to the Amer- can Meteorological Society. Lindberghs In Paris; Delayed By Big Storms Makes Surprise Hop From Inverness, Scotland, In Comparative Secrecy PARIS, Oct. 27.-Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who bucked a howling storm to get here as he did in 1927, visited in contrasting quiet today the scenes where thousands roared him tribute after that historic trans-At- lantic crossing of six years ago. Accompanied this time by a wife, the "lone eagle" dropped out of fast- darkening air lanes late Thursday and taxied his seaplane up to the landing dock on the river Seine at Le Mureaux, 25 miles west of here. Cloaked as he had wished it in silence, his arrival from Inverness, Scotland, was known only to au- thorities, chiefly Air Minister Pierre Cot. Not even the guards called on to watch along the coast knew of his coming. Soaring away from Inverness, the flying couple headed ostensibly for Southampton, England, at n o o n. Hours later they were unreported. Meanwhile, storms broke. Apprehen- sion grew. In the midst of heightening fears on the part of those who knew noth- ing of the secret plans, the whir of an approaching plane was heard at the little naval airport at Le Mur- eaux. The commanding officer, instruct- ed to obey M. Cot's secretary, who had been sent to the port in strictest confidence, switched on a red light to indicate the landing. The plane circled until all signals were lighted and a nearby yacht aid- ed with its searchlight. With the river then brilliantly visible, Col. Lindbergh swung his big craft over the Seine, dropped down and came so close to the dock that slight manouvering brought the plane near enough for him and his wife to land without a boat. With the soldiers on guard keeping the secret, the famous flying pair en- tered the secretary's automobile with a military chauffeur at the wheel and were whisked on a roundabout way to Paris. The Lindberghs had taken a suite at Hotel Crillon and had gone out to dinner before it became generally known that Paris at last had its long desired opportunity to greet the "lone eagle"' again. They were given a second floor overlooking the narrow Rue Boissy Danglas. Across the street is the new American embassy and their bed- room is just opposite the office of United States Ambassador Straus.
