The book was finally published by a young Boston publisher, and accord- ing to Mr. Stowe, 3,000 were sold the first week, and 300,000 the first year. He said that the book was well- received in the South until timey found that it was actually undermining the institution of slavery even more in- siduously than was William Lloyd Garrison, great journalist and aboli- tionist. "They then turned on her with a Vengeance," Mr. Stowe said, "and be- gan writing bitter comments against her. She received one letter from a Southerner with the bloody ear of a Negro enclosed and the statement 'I hope you will be pleased to see. how much good your vile book has done to slavery.' " Mr. Stowe then commented on the lives of three other famous Beechers, Thomas, Henry Ward, and Kather- ine. He characterized Katherine Beech- er as one of the three women who did much to encourage the education of women in her day. Thomas K. Beecher, according to the speaker, was one of the first founders of the institutional church. "If it hadn't been for Henry Ward Beecher's speeches in England in 1863, defending the cause of the North, and "Uncle Tom's Cabin," the English and French would have rec- ognized the Confederacy," Mr. Stowe stated. cessfully in the past few years. Mr. Valentine B. Windt and his co-director, William Halstead, Grad., have in this play excellent material with which to charm Ann Arbor audiences. Being a brilliant farce comedy about what is interpreted by the audience to be the Barrymore family, the action centers about Tony Cavendish, his sister, Julie Cavendish, their mother, Fanny Cavendish, and a Herbert Dean, whose identity re- mains somewhat a mystery, but whose character the audience will recognize as a very close resemblance to that. of the oldest of the living Barrymores, Lionel. Mr. Kaufman has consistent- ly refused to divulge whether he is poking fun directly at the famous and much imitated Barrymores, but his play itself indicates this most delight.- fully, subtely, and hilariously. Those who saw th'e picture inter- pretation of "The Royal Family" vill remember Frederick March as Tony, and Ina Claire as Julie. In the Play Production offering, Charles T., Har- rell, '35, will play the part of Tony; Mary Pray, Grad., that of Julie; Sar- ah Pierce, '35, the mother, Fanny; and James V. Doll, '35, Herbert Dean. In other major parts will be Virginia Spray, '37, David Zimmerman, '35, Frank Funk, '35, Virginia Chapman Goetz, '35, and William Halstead, Grad. Some of these players are well known to Ann Arbor audiences for their past successes. Others of them are new. With the combination of experienced talent and freshness the production will have a more than singular interest to those who see it. --C.B.C.

The TVA, or Tennessee Valley Au- thority, as it is called, is now engaged in the construction of the second in a two-part series of water power- plants. The first unit, the Wilson Dam, was completed in 1925 at Muscle Shoals in the northwest corner of Alabama on the Tennessee River,' where the government built its much- discussed nitrogen-producing plant.' during the war. The dam cost about $40,000,000 and is capable of main- taining a prime power of about 100,- 000 horse power. The second unit, the Norris Dam, shown in the photograph above, is expected to cost approximately the same amount as the Wilson Dam. It 4 will add approximately 60,000 horse power to the electrical prime power now available from the Wilson dam. It is located about 250 miles upstream in eastern Tennessee. Thus an enormous amount of power will be generated and transmitted throughout the Tennessee valley re- gion, which include parts of the Caro- linas, Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, and Kentucky; Professor King said. This cheap and extensive electrical power is expected by governmental authorities to tap the natural re- sources of the area which have here- tofore been neglected due to the back- Architect Praises 1o1sigy Projects Even though the taxation for the Federal housing movement "falls hardest on the modest but indepen- dent middle class," Prof. Wells Ben- nett of the School of Architecture in an article published recently de- clared that it can be justified and praised it highly. Giving his reasons for the plan's justification, and describing in detail "common elements" in housing proj- ects, Professor Bennett asserted that "there is no doubt that we need better housing through the nation. In tack- ling a community housing project, there must be a local need to justify it and a sound general proposal for carrying it out." He said there could be no model housing without expert planning. "Any lasting benefits to the commu- nity," his article concludes, "will .lie partly in the final paying out of the financial investment, but mainly in increased social stability and civic pride." uch projec s as Bouder. jam are largely self-liquidating, and the power they are to generate has been con- tracted for by various local indus- tries and municipalities, he added. The TVA, however, hws only a few minor contracts for its power, accord- ing to Professor King and he went on to say that it is essentially an attempt of the government to directly subsidize the industrial progress of an unprogressive area, to raise the scale of living where at the present time electricity and modern conveniences are still regarded as luxuries. A further significance, which Pro- fessor King believes will prove of widespread importance in regard to Federal control of utilities, lies in the fact that the government is using the TVA as "a measuring stick" to ascertain the cost of the develop- ment and distribution of power. With this "measuring stick" the adminis- tration hopes to be in a position to accurately determine just what -con- stitutes a reasonable rate for a private power utility to charge for its services, he said.

Harvard men, alike in college and as alumni, are alert to all that makes for progress in apparel; they were among the first to discover and adopt the Kover-Zip closure for trousers-they were quick to see its many advantages over the exposed metal of the ordinary zipper. Leading Harvard tailors, creators of fine clothes for college men, are fully aware of Kover-Zip's superior qualities. . 4... . t i tI i/ J famous Boston tailor to 'Marvard men, says-"When our patrons specify trousers or slacks equipped with a slide fastener, we are prepared to provide for this preference.
