Pittsburgh Starts Rehabilitation After Flood Damage
They acted a short time before
Works Progress Administration of-
ficials hurriedly packed their bags to
leave tonight to direct federal relief
and rehabilitation activities in flood-
swept eastern states.
Hopkins said at "first hand in-
spections" would be made in an effort
to determine the actual damage and
"the most expeditious manner in
which the resources of the WPA can
be brought to bear on the task of
rehabilitation."
Hopkins at first announced that
he himself would go to hard-struck
Hartford, Conn., but later reported
that the press of official business
would keep him here. He designated
Lawrence Westbrook, an assistant
WPA administrator, to take his place.
President Roosevelt set aside $43,-
000,000 last Saturday for flood relief.
Of this, $25,000,000 will be used to
restore bridges, highways, public
buildings and utilities. The remaind-
er will be devoted to fighting disease.

campus of her own selection; a non-
Michigan graduate will continue her
project here.
The fellowship is largely the gift
of the San Francisco Bay Associa-
tion of the University alumnae and
has been named by that group in
memory of the late Mrs. Clark who
was for many years an active mem-
ber of that group and for two years
served as its president.
In recognition of the scholastic at-
tainments, two undergraduate women
will be the recipients of the Judith
Ginsburg Colten Scholarship and the
Seymour Beach Conger Scholarship,
each of $100. The former, Mrs. Con-
ger said, given as a memorial to "one
of Michigan's most loyal alumnae" for
the third successive year, was do-
noted this year by the class of 1915.
The latter contributed for the second
year is honoring one of Michigan's
distinguished alumni.

Books On Imaginary Voyages
Displayed By LibraryCurator
Translations Of 'Robinson
Crusoe,' Swift's Works,
Predominate In Exhibit
Drawing from the resources of one
of the finest special collections in the
General Library, Miss Ella M. Hy-
mans, curator of rare books, has pre-
pared the current exhibit on imagin-
ary voyages.
The books 'have been taken from
the Hubbard collection of imaginary
voyages of which the library has
more than 2500 copies, all of them
having been presented to the Uni-
versity by the late Regent L. L. Hub-
bard during the years of 1922 and
1923. Regent Hubbard also presented
to the University several of his col-
lection on America, which was his
first hobby in book collecting, Miss
Hymans said.
The books in the collection are
chiefly on "Robinson Crusoe" and
"Gulliver's Travels," the literature
for which there was the greatest de-
mand and interest at that time. Half
of the books relate to Robinson Cru-
soe with translations into other lan-
guages, adaptions and imitations or
"Robinsonades" which were unique
imitations of the original tale, where-
as a fourth of the collection is devoted
to "Gulliver's Travels" and the com-
plete editions of Swift's works.
Many of the volumes are first edi-
tions, but of greatest value, ac-
cording to Miss Ilymans, is the se-
quence in editions of the works.
Numerous Translations
The Hubbard collection includes
translations into 20 different lan-
guages of "Robinson Crusoe," the
forerunner of the modern novel of the
romantic, realistic type. The story
was founded on the actual experiences
of Alexander Selkirk's four-year resi-
dence on the island of Juan Fernan-
dez. An account was written in 1712
by Captain Woodes Rogers, the res-
cuer. In 1719 appeared Defoe's "Rob-
inson Crusoe" which met with almost
instantaneous acclaim. Therefore De-
foe took advantage of this popularity
and printed a second issue. Still a
third was published but it met with
little popularity because Defoe's ideas
on morals and religion comprised the
bulk of this issue.
Crusoe's Popularity Shown
The Hubbard collection includes
copies of this first edition as well as
of the remaining six. One of the
earliest American editions of Crusoe
is also shown, as is the first variant
of the first edition of volume one.
The earliest American editions of
"Gulliver's Travels" in the collection
were published in 1808 and 1809. This
satire was first published anonymous-
ly in London in 1726. It was not un-
til the Faulkner edition of 1735 that
the name of Swift was attached to
the satirical masterpiece. One of the
Hobby Of War Veteran
Tough On Auto Thieves
LEXINGTON, Va., March 23. -
Larkin W. Glazebrook, '18, has prob-
ably the most curious hobby of any
graduate of Virginia Military Insti-
tute-that of spotting stolen cars.
In 1934 Glazebrook, a World War
veteran, found a third of all cars
stolen in Virginia. For the first two
months of this year he has recovered
fifty, nearly one a day.
copies shown is the first issue of the
first edition.
Another imaginary voyage which is
depicted in one of the books on ex-
hibit is the voyage to the East Indies
of Francis Leguat which was consid-
ered a real voyage for almost 200
years. Several volumes in imaginary
voyages before 1719 show the sources
of Gulliver's Travels.
Of contemporary interest are theI
volumes in one of the cases which are
illustrated editions of imaginary voy-
ages. Some of the famous illustrat-
ors whose works are on display in-
clude Willy Pogany, Milo Winter,
Walter Paget, Thomas Stothard, N. C.
Wyeth and R. G. Mossa.
'Swing' Results
From Attempts
At Early Style
(Continued from Page 1)
attack. The way the notes are hit
makes a very great difference in
the sound of the notes. The second
essential is the phrasing. The phras-
ing of the notes and "licks" that the
musician is playing may mean the
difference between good and bad re-
sults.
The last requirement is the ability
to improvise stylishly. This does not
mean the simple blowing of a thou-
sand notes in a chorus, but demands
the creating of phrases, or "licks," as
they are known to the musical breth-
ren, which have a real rnening and
significance.
All these attributes were possessed
by the early "swing" men, according
to Mr. Diamond. And as the sounds
of "Singing the Blues," generally
conceded by most musicians to be one
of the finest records ever produced,
emanated from the phonograph, it
was pretty hard to disagree.w
Asked for his opinion of the best
band that was ever organized, Mr.
Diamond explained that because the
stars of the last decade were con-
stantly changing bands, it is hard to
state which band was the best. "These
men, Bik, Miff Mole, and the others,
were the ones who made a band good.
Whoever they chanced to be playing
with had a top-notch orchestra," add-
ed Mr. Diamond. He also said that,
the men who have acquired fame1
and success as "hot" men during the
last 10 years have been playing in
the style originated by the musicians
of the so-called jazz era.1
Mr. Diamond did mention that at
different times Jean Goldkette and
Roger Wolfe Kahn produced unex-
celled orchestras by the simple meth-
od of gathering all the experts under
one roof.
An extensive library of old records
is possessed by Mr. Diamond. These;
are specimens of the product turned
out when dance music was at its best.
However, there are many records that
Mr. Diamond would like to procure,,
and anyone having any old discs is1
urged to communicate with him.
Press Society
To Meet Here
May 7 8 And 9
High School Journalists
Will Discuss Problems
And Hear Addresses
Plans for the 12th annual con-
vention of the Michigan Interscho-
lastic Press Association which meets
here May 7, 8 and 9, were announced
yesterday by Prof. John L. Brumm
of the department of journalism,
sponsors of the event.
More than 200 editors, business
managers and faculty directors of
high school publications are expect-
ed to attend. The department of
journalism is assisted in sponsoring
the meeting by Sigma Delta Chi, jour-
nalism fraternity, Kappa Tau Alpha,
honorary journalismf fraternity, and
Theta Sigma Phi, journalism sorori-
ty.
The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss the problems high schools
face in their publications work and
to encourage students to continue
their education in college, Professor
Brumm said. The educational side,
he added, is emphasized above the
technical or newspaper angle.
Registration for the convention will
begin Thursday afternoon, May 7, and
the first general session will be held
Thursday night. The group will be
addressed by University officials and
faculty members of the department of
journalism. After the addresses a
reception will be held to acquaint the
delegates with each other.
The second general assembly will
be held Friday at 9 a.m., and will be
addressed by some prominent speak-
er, either a newspaper man or teach-
er, who has not yet been selected.
Eight round-table discussions relat-
ing to news and editorial writing,
newspaper policy and business man-
agement will follow.
;ary Cooperatives
CIa hced A Scccess
R. J. Deddix, Negro president of the
Gary, Ind., Consumers Trading Co.,
told the story Sunday afternoon in
Lane Hall of what the cooperative has
meant to Gary's extremely poor. The
address was third in a series of co-
operative study meetings sponsored
by the Student Christian Associa-
tion.
"Our first cooperative store in Gary
was started with $24 capital," Mr.
Reddix said. "Now we have more
than 500 members anda large gro-
cery and meat market. We are plan-
ning for the near future a cooperative
dairy and a bakery.
"Gary is a one industry city and
when the steel mills closed down and
11 banks failed, the working class,
especially the Negroes, were in a dire
state," he said. "We banded togeth-
er and looked into the cooperative
plan, starting our first venture with
just a few members and a small stock
of merchandise. It has been a boon
to the poor, of which my race com-
posed a great part."
Better Mirror
I'oi TlescIp
To Be Installed
New Al in umR11 Sii hae
Will Allow Refleicon0 1'
More Light
The reflector telescope at the Uni-
versity Observatory will in two weeks
be equipped with the fourth alum-
inum-coated mirror ever to be used
astronomically, according to Dr. Rob-
ley C. Williams of the Astronomy de-
artnient, who is to carry out the
project
"The action from t he smoke of the
hieantig plant near the Observatory
oil thie now silvered mirrors of the
telescope soon lowers their relec -
tivity to about 40 per cent," Dr. Wil-
liams stated. "The alumintun-coat--
ed reflectors will not be so affected.
"The real superiority, however, of
the aluminum reflecting surface over
the silvered one," Dr. Williams con-
tinued, "lies in the fact that this
metal surface permits the astronomer
to examine stellar spectra in the far
ultra-violet range where silver does
not reflect. Furthermore, the alum-
inum mirror surface is considerably
harder than one of silver, and it will
not tarnish.
The aluminum coating will be put
on the glass by the evaporation pro-
cess. The big reflector, Dr. Williams
explained, with the old silver film
completely removed, is placed in a
large vacuum dome, the one at the
observatory being one of the two that
are in existence for astronomical
purposes. Around the inside of the
dome, at the top, 12 tungsten fila-
ments are hung about 18 inches from
the face of the mirror. On these
filaments small pieces of aluminum
are placed. After the pumps have
produced a high vaccuum within the
chamber, an electric current is pas-
sed through the filaments which
evaporates the pieces of metal, the
vapors condensing in an even, glossy
coat on the top surface of the glass.
The formation of a thin, transparent
oxide film over the metal surface pre-
vents it from tarnishing. The alum-
inum coating on the mirror will be
only about one one-hundred-thou-
sandth of an inch thick and will need
no polishing whatever.
Many metals have been success-
fully vaporized by the evaporation
method, but the ideal metal mirror
coating has not been found, Dr. Wil-
liams pointed out.
Class Officers Hold
Meeting In Detroit
Officers of graduating classes dat-
ing back to 1872 were invited to the
annual meeting of class officers held
last night in the Book-Cadillac Hotel
in Detroit.
The alumni secretaries of 1936
graduating classes of the College of
Architecture, Literary College, School
of Dentistry, School of Business Ad-
ministration, College of Engineering,
Law School, Medical School, School
of Forestry and Conservation, School
of Education and School of Music
were also present.
One of the matters discussed at
the meeting was the advisability of
combining the jobs of all these vari-
ous alumni secretaries of the gradu-
ating class into one position.
Representing the Alumni Associa-
tion at the meeting were Emory J.
Hyde, president; T. Hawley Tapping,
general secretary, and Robert O.
Morgan, council secretary.

Prof. Denkinger
To Lecture On
Jules Romains
Prof. Marc Denkinger of the Ro-
mance Language department will
present the last of the current series
of lectures sponsored by the Cercle
Francais at 4:15 p.m., tomorrow in
Room 102, Romance Language Build-
ing.
Professor Denkinger has chosen as
his topic of discussion the work of the
French author, Jules Romains, "Les
Hommes de Bonne Volonte." This
work consists of 20 volumes of which
only 10 have been translated into
English. In it, a study is made of
the social environment of Europe
since 1905. This manuscript will be
discussed from the point of view of
Romains' conception of unanimism.
