Prof. Alfred H. Lovell, of the en-
gineering college, spoke yesterday on
"The Development of Michigan Wa-
ter Power" over the Radio Broad-
casting Service.
Pointing out that Michigan ranked
twelfth in the list of states in the
order of their developed water power,
Professor Lovell explained that its
water power is supplemented by fuel
power, in which the state ranked
fifth.
Good hydro-electric development
depends upon three factors, the
speaker declared, a high head and
a large, steady flow of water in the
stream; surface run-off and ground
water; and surface geology such that
water is absorbed. The first factor,
he emphasized, Michigan lacks.
"The earliest water power develop-
ments in Michigan were probably
made in connection with the milling
industry well back in the 1800's," Pro-
fessor Lovell commented. With the
introduction of the electric light by
Thomas Edison in 1879 and his first
central power station in 1882, a hy-
dro-electric plant was installed in
Battle Creek, he continued. "Simi-
lar developments followed quickly in
other parts of the state."
The Saginaw River proper, the Au
Sable River, and the Muskegon River,
and the Manistee River are the main
sources of water power in the Lower
Peninsula, Professor Lovell stated.
The speaker also showed how a
quick thaw with a deep blanket of
snow might cut down the normal
generating capacity of hydro power
plants by choking the intake to the
water turbines and shutting off the
water from actually getting into the
wheel.
Prof. Carrothers
Returns F r o m
Annual Meeting
Many Faculty Members
Attend Convention Held
In St. Louis
Prof. George E. Carrothers, direc-
tor of the Bureau of Cooperation with
Educational Institutions, returned
yesterday from St. Louis where he
attended the convention held by the
Superintendence Department of the
National Education Association.
The convention, with the theme of
determining the function of schools
in democracy, was opened on Feb.
22, with nearly 10,000 delegates from
every state in the union, and will
be closed in a final meeting this after-
noon.
Presiding over most of the eleven
general sessions was A. J. Stoddard,
graduate of the University of Mich-
igan, who is president of the superin-
tendence department, and who is
now superintendent of schools in
Providence, R. I.
Dean J. B. Edmonson, dean of the
education school, played a prominent
part in the general sessions, giving
an evaluation and summary of the.
proceedings of Monday, 24, and of yes-
terday speaking on "The Freshman
College and other New Provisions
for Post-Graduates."
The entire nation fixed its atten-
tion on the speeches given in this
year's sessions, because of the con-
troversial nature of the theme and
considerable attention was given to
the views expounded in the Tuesday
session by Dr. George S. Counts of1
Columbia University in the jury panel
discussion by members of the year-;
book commission, Professor Carroth-3
ers said.
A.A.U.W. HOLDS MEETING 1

branch of the American Associationz

ing at 8:00 p.m. yesterday in the

League. Enoch Peterson, directorz
of excavations in the field of thet
University Institute of Archaeology,p
spoke on the work being done by the
University expedition in Egypt. Mo-
tion pictures were used to supplement1
the talk by Mr. Peterson.t

Tapestry Prints Are Exhibited
In CurrentLibrary Display'

Printed reproductions of Gothic
tapestries, arranged by Miss Ella M.
Hymans, curator of rare books, are
now on exhibit in the cases of the
General Library.
The 31 panels have been taken
from a large portfolio of 100 plates
published by G. Demotte in 1924
which were reproductions taken from
the original Gothic tapestries now
in existence. Many of the original
hangings are to be found in French
museums and cathedrals.
These prints from the originals of
the 15th and 16th centuries illus-
trate biblical scenes, hunting scenes,
scenes from the social life of that
period, church history, legendary
subjects and general historical scenes.
When the majority of people were
illiterate and reading was for the
aristocracy, these tapestries were an
important influence in familiarizing
the mass of people with the Bible
and history according to Miss. Hy-
mans. Today these early Gothic
tapestries are one of the most abun-
dant sources of information of that
period.
It has been found that the tapestry
form of weaving dates back to the
Egyptian period of about 14 B.C. But
the history of tapestry weaving does
not begin until the process adapted
for hanging assumed a large scale,
so that in the 14th and 15th cen-
turies the tapestry industry was de-
veloped in Europe, it was explained.
Tapestries first developed for dec-
orative purposes and it is for this
reason that the early tapestries are
more beautiful than those of later
periods. The development of tapestry
design followed the lines of contem-
porary painting so that in the later
periods, tapestries became more real-
istic and lost much of their beauty
which the earlier Gothic tapestries

ple, and some sort of revolutionist
development is to be expected if the
military group gains control."
Mr. Bell stated that this latter
group is "undoubtedly Fascist," and
that the present policies of naval par-
ity, "founded on the principle of
security without menace to foreign,
nations," and expansion in Asia would
not materially be altered under a
militaristic regime, but that it would
be fatally lacking in the spirit of
cooperation and friendship with other
nations which was the basic philoso-
phy of Premier Okada's party.
Reliable news reports have not been
released as yet that would indicatel
the militarists have gained control,I
Mr. Bell pointed out, "but if they
are available by tomorrow night Il
shall try to interpret them and out-
line what may reasonably be expected
to develop."

had, designed for purely decorative
purposes.
The panels on exhibit are predom-
inantly in reds, browns and blues
since the earlier tapestries were lim-
ited in the range of colors. However,
this did not detract from their beauty
since the colors most expressive were
used. In the 14th century the shades
were limited to 14 or 15, Miss Hymans
explained. Today the Modern Gobe-.
lins Factory uses more than 14,000
tints.

Ash Wednesday's
Name Taken From
ICatholic Cererrony,
It is an ancient custom to hold as
a period of fasting the 40 days pre-
ceeding Easter Sunday in commem-
oration of the miraculous abstinence
of Jesus when under temptation. Yes-
terday, Ash Wednesday, marked the
beginning of that period and Ann
Arbor churches observed it with spe-
cial Lenten services.
Lent, originally a 40-hour period
of fasting, was extended to 36 days
until the time of Pope Gregory. It'
was Gregory who removed Sundays
from Lent, because he thought them
improper for fasting, and as a con-
sequence it was necessary to begin the
period four days earlier, or on Ash
Wednesday.
The name Ash Wednesday is de-
rived for the notable ceremony in the
Romish church which was used to
remind the faithful at the commence-
ment of the great penetential sea-
son, that they were but dust and
ashes. In the old ceremony the
worshippers approached the priest in
sack-cloth, the priest took some ashes
and water on the tips of his fingers
and marking a cross on the worship-
per's forehead chanted: "Momento,
homo, quia cinis es, et in pulverem
revertis" (Remember, man, that you
are of ashes, and into dust will re-
turn).

Saiongi, who is 92 years ,old, has held

In times of crisis, Dr. Stanton elab-

find a way out. Often over the tea-
cups, the Genro (at present, Prince
Saiongi alone) announces its opin-
ions to the leading statesmen. These

from "the shafts of political ven-
detta."
The hope that politics in the CC
will reach a minimum was voiced by
Prof. Willet F. Ramsdell, who agreed
that the estimate of the CCC as
worthless was the product of a nar-
row professional view. He indicated
that the success of the scamps de-
pended in a large measure upon the
human factor-- the particular army
officer or conservation superinten-
dent assigned to each camp.
Of all the conservation branches,
the U.S. Forest Service seems to be
the most successful, according to Pro-
fessor Ramsdell. He explains that
its older existence and use of a
greater percentage of non-political
appointees enables it to exist on a
more equitable plane with the army
officers than the other state and na-
tional conservation and park organ-
izations have been able to reach.
opinions, when confirmed by the Em-
peror, are final, he explained.
And, once again, this procedure is
fundamentally Chinese, Dr. Stanton
said.
