Cameraman his Closest
Escape From Death
Normal ari-chair sitters who pre-
fer to hear of excitement and ad-
venture from the security of home,
and who stifle bored yawns at tales
of ordinary hazards, sit up and eye
with envious safety the modern Gul-
livers who daily perform feats of risk
and daring to provide the thrills of
movies. The world is their playground,
and each day a new game to be en-
joyed; but the price -death!
When he was 13, Reed N. Hay-
thorne got his first newsreel assign-
ment. "Get a picture of Pancho Vil-
la!" they told him, but Villa was
then on one of his revolutionary ram-
pages somewhere in the interior of
Mekico. It was a tough assignment,
but he got it, and since then he has
photographed two Mexican revolu-
tions and two Chinese revolutions.
He has traveled and worked in the
ice-bound regions of Northern Alaska
and Canada.
Spice Life With Danger
The strange and little-known cor-
ners of the world are his work-shops,
and places from which conservative
citizens hold their hats and flee hold
a strange attraction for him.
One of his greatest thrills came dur-
ing the filming of "The Human Ad-
venture," epic motion picture that
shows the rise of man from savagery
to civilization, that has been en-
gaged for special showing here at
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, Oc-
tober 18 and 19. "Although I have
been an airplane stunt performer in
my duties as newsreel cameraman
and have flown thousands of hours in
the air, I think my most exciting
experience was the flight over the
Persian mountains during the film-
ing of The Human Adventure'," says
Haythorne'
Ignorant Of Near Death
"At one time we had to rise to an
elevation of 14,000 feet to get above
a dust storm which wrecked another
airplane, killing the pilot and two pas-
sengers. On another flight we had to
make three attempts before we were
successful in getting over the fog-
bound Persian mountains. Dr. and
Mrs. Breasted (scientific leaders of
the expedition) not knowing of the
great danger the plane was in, en-
joyed the spectacle of cloud-blanketed
mountains below."
Human adventures galore have
come to the cameraman who photo-
graphed every foot of the film, alto-
gether more than 32,000 feet, which
took over three years to film.
Persia Photographer's Paradise
Haythorne regards his trips from+
Chicago to the Near East to photo-1

two of his most interesting journeys.!
"In all my travels," he says, "I have

I MAJESTIC
I1AiWI

With courage still unshaken and
defiance gleaming in his eye, a fresh-
man trudged out of the University
Hospital yesterday after an introduc-
tion to college life that would have
blighted the spirit of someone less
fortitudinous.
The hero of the tale is a young
man from Detroit named Morley
Benjamin. He made up his mind to
come here three days after school
had started, and arrived last Thurs-
day in a whirl of bewilderment. With-
out the enlightenment of a leisurely
Orientation Week, and further con-
fused by the loss of the first four
days, Morley boldly plunged into his
studies Friday morning.
All went well until he went to
his Chemistry Laboratory. During the
period he was faced with the neces-
sity of pushing a hot glass tube
through a rubber stopper. Hurrying
Starlings Raise IreI
O Townspeople By

P C?
"Let us shoot," voice the people
from out Mrtins Place way, as many
of them rise up in arm to rid them-
selves of the plague of starlings which
have swooped down on them inter-
mittently during the past five years
and annoyed and destroyed.
Martins Place is tired of pointing
cap guns and, blank cartridge revolv-
ers at the pests only to see them
flit about undaunted.
The starling is a bird which to all
purposes looks like a sparrow, but
it has one defect in its character
which the people of Martins Place
cannot overlook. Its thieving and de-
struction know no bounds. It would,
have no qualms of conscience after,
having dug up an entire garden and
gorged the seeds, nor would it even
feel bad if it took food away from
any bird or beast.
True, they have been allowed to
be shot. True, many a loaded gun has
been aimed at them by cussing gar-
deners viewing their devastated gar-
dens. But the trouble is that he so
closely resembles the sparrow who is
a protected bird, that the chance of
hitting the latter rather than the
former is too great.'
So the plagued at Martins Place
have said that Ann Arbor must do
something. Six families from the
midst of the pestilence called a meet-
ing and the result was a petition
that something must be done, even if
the Ann Arbor police have to catch
them by hand. A copy was also sentl
to the Biological Survey in Washing-t
ton asking it to rid "us of our plague."
ing to get the best results. After that
the air is often full of dust or light
fog."
He was one of the photographers
on the expedition to the South Seas
to produce "Moana," the beautiful
motion picture made by Robert Fla-
herty. He snapped the descendants
of the mutineers of the Bounty on Pit-
cairn Island in the South Seas.
So that we temperate souls may
suffer our thrills by proxy, Reed Hay-
thorne goes on, dashing from one ad-
venture to the next, turning the crank
with intrepid disregard for danger.

in an effort to keep up with the rest
of his class, while his mind was con-
sidering multifarious fraternity en-
gagements, Morley absently pushed
down on the tube with his left palm.
You can imagine his embarrassment
when he discovered that the stopper
offered more resistance to the glass
than did his palm. The tube cut clean-
ly through his hand.
- He was rushed first to the health
service, thence to the hospital, thence
to the operating room. After he was
completely slit open and probed for
bits of glass. His mother, who had
been notified of the accident, arrived
just in time to see him being wheeled
out of the operating room, barely stir-
ring out of the effects of the ether.
But the worst was not yet past. The
glass had passed by several sensitive
nerves in the hand, and the severing
of any of them would have meant per-
manent paralysis in that hand. Un-
fortunately, Morley plans to be a
surgeon, and more unfortunately, he
is left-handed.
Painstakingly, under the doctor's
tutelage, Morley apprehensively flexed
each finger. Finally he had bent each
one successfully and was assured that
his hand would heal successfully.
Today Morley went back to his
classes, his hand in a sling, but his
heart glad with the certainty that
he has already had his year's quota of
bad luck.
Botany Professor
Sees Fossl Region
The beauties of the Gaspe Penin-
sula in the Province of Quebec are
too little known to the aferage tourist,
thinks Prof. B. M. Davis of the botany
department, after his three-week tour
of the region following the summer
session of the University.
Professor Davis made a special
point of examining the outcrop of
Devonian Sandstone rich in fossil,
remains of promitive seed plants. This
sandstone is of about the same period
as the old red sandstone of Scotland
made famous through the studies of
Hugh Miller.
Beside the fossil remains are re-
markable preservations of the plates
carried by the early ganoid fishes.
Professor Davis brought back to the
University a considerable collection of
these fossil remains.
He reports the region as abounding
in beauty and points of geological
interest. These together with the
quaint life of the French-Canadian
population make the country an un-
usual interest to the naturalist and
tourist.
"Thaumaturgy" is a noun meaning
"wonder working," according to Web-
ster's Dictionary.
