May 11, at Gaylord under the spon- sorship of the University Extension Division and the School of Education. The program of the conference will deal with important findings of edu- cational investigations in selected fields with special attention to the ap- plication of such findings to the im- provement of school practice. Those who will conduct the discus- sions are Professors Clifford Woody, William Trow, Edgar Johnston, and Franci Curtis, all of the education school. The topics to be considered by the conference will include the behavior problems of pupils, the instruction of slow normal pupils, the improvement of reading, and the redirection of extra-curricular activities. A large attendance from the forty schools in the upper part of the Lower Peninsula is indicated by the response thus far, according to Dean James B. Edmonson of the educational school. "The/ School of Education, in co- operation with the Extension Division, is devoting much attention to the development of field courses and field conference that will help educa- tional administrators to keep in- formed concerning significant find- ings in educational research and to assist these officials in their efforts] to improve school practice," Dean Edinonson said. "Our plans have met With the most enthusiastic response from Michigan school officials." Sharp Increase In'Mechanical Ij lj*ies' Nted A sharp increase in the number of "mechanical injuries" was noted in April, due to the desire of students to participate in games which spring weather makes possible, according to the monthly report of the Health Service released yesterday by Dr. Maurice R. McGarvey, Health Service physician. "ractures, sprains, wounds, bruises, infections of the skin and dog-bites gave us no little concern," Dr. Mc- Garvey stated, "and were often ser- iously incapacitating to the afflicted individuals. We anticipate injuries from violent physical contact, but we continue to offer pointed suggestions of prevention in many cases of in- jury due to carelessness." Dr. McGarvey viewed with alarm the number of bicycles on the streets and said from Health Service experi- ence in injuries sustained from acci- dents to bicycle riders that he con- cluded that they do not have a "chance with their life or limb" in contact with automobiles, concrete pavemnent, or both. Plan Beautification Of Ypsilanti Road Extensive plans for the beautifica- tion of highway M-17 between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti have been an- nounced by the Washtenaw County Roadside Council.

By RALPH W. HURD A special demonstration of the abil- ity of sound to be transmitted over a light beam will be featured by the electrical engineejIng department as part of its displays for the Engineer- ing Open House. The original sound will be picked up by a phonograph, and carried through a microphone to an ampli-' fier connected to a neon tube. The light from the tube will thus be mod- ulated in accordance with the im- pression made by the sound. This light beam will be fodused.on a photo- electric cell which will convert the light into a modulated current. An amplifier and loudspeaker following the photo-electric cell will then repro- duce the original sound, and tie dem- onstration will be complete. There also will be an oscillograph connected to the photo-electric cell, which will show a picture of the sound coming through the loudspeaker. Vis- itors will be allowed to talk over the light beam and both hear and see their own voices. The "talking statue" and the "danc- ing doll" will be the subject of an- other project. By means of a spe- cially constructed lighting box a sta- tue can be made to appear to smile, frown, grin, be dignified and even seem to talk. In the same box a doll FORDHAM UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW NEW YORK Case System Three-Year Day Course Four-Year Evening Course Co-educational College Degree or Two Years of College Work with Good Grades Required for Entrance Transcript of Record Must Be Furnished :Morning, Early Afternoon and Evening Classes For further information address CHARLES P.

Also included in the lighting display will be a working scale model of the Union Ballroom's colored lights. Their operation will be explained by student attendants, to the satisfaction of many who have long been curious as to the mechanics of this attractive' lighting system. A voice inverter of the type used in trans-Atlantic telephony will be in operation during the Open House. Visitors saying "I think this is strange" into a microphone will hear reproduced "I kniht siht si egnarts," and if they are able to repeat the latter "garble" they will have their original intelligible words reproduced. Health Service Filled By Measles And Colds Measles and an unusually large number of colds have filled the in- firmary to capacity, Dr. William M. Brace, Health Service physician, stated yesterday. "The sharp rise in the number of colds at this time of the year is rather unusual," Dr. Brace said. "Most of them are of the type known as 'spring colds,' and are probably traceable to the present inclement weather." 100 ENGRAVED CARDS AND PLATE FOR ONLY $1.50 We Print EVPS..
