Teaehers Get
Jobs With Aid
Of WPA Funds
Correspondence Courses
Being Conducted In 29
Cities In The State
With the aid of WPA funds unem-
ployed teachers have regained em-
ployment in their field of training
and people who would ordinarily be
denied in educational services are
now benefitting from such a service,
it was announced yesterdayby the
WPA Correspondence Study depart-
ment under the sponsorship of the
University Extension Division.
In 29 cities which cover the state
from Detroit to the furthest points
on the upper peninsula supervised
correspondence courses are conduct-
ed by WPA-paid supervisors. Forty
CCC camps in the state operate
under the same government-paid
plan, it was announced. It was esti-
mated that more than 900 people
have already enrolled in these cen-
ters.
Of the 97 people employed by the
department 81 hold college degrees.
There are four Ph.D.'s, 26 have mas-
ter's degrees, five are Bachelors of
Science, two hold L.L.B.'s, 37 have
A.B.'s. Only seven hold no degree
and the remaining 16 have not their
educational records available ,the de-
partment announced.
"Some of them were without work
of any kind; others were working at
manual labor; a few were back in
school, attempting to get higher de-
grees, living in some cases, on bor-
educational records available, the de-
"Of these people 92.8 per cent are
on a relief status. They are now do-
ing work for which they are trained,
even though their wages are in no
way commensurate with the qualityI
or quantity of work they are doing,"
the department continued.
Few Poisoned;
By Mushrooms,
In BigSeason'
With the closing of the most pro-
lific season for mushrooms that Dr.
Alexander H. Smith, assistant curat-
or of the University Herbarium, has
seen in the eight years that he has
been in Ann Arbor, and with an un-
usual number of persons having col-
lected the fungi, members of the
Museum find it surprising that a larg-
er number of mushroom poisonings
have not been reported.-
"Few people realize," Dr. Smith
said, "that out of every thousand
species of mushrooms, about 350 are
classifi,ed as poisonous. In other
words, the inexperienced person has
about two chances out of three of
getting edible varieties."
There is no test which can defi-
nitely prove whether or not a mush-
room is safe. Contrary to common
conceptions, the fact that a species
has a pleasant odor, the fact that it
"peels" readily or that it stains silver
when cooked are no indications it is
edible. To be safe, one must learn
to know the species he desires to col-
lect.
"One of the most serious errors is
to consider all toadstools posonous
and all mushrooms edible. Actually,
toadstools and mushrooms are but
two names for the identical plant,"
Dr. Smith said.
"There is still another factor which

is seldom considered," Dr. Smith con-
tinued. "The problem of natural
sensitization enters into the ques-
tion of edibility even more in mush-
rooms than in most other foods. Eggs,
which are perfectly harmless forI
most people, sometimes arouses
eczema in certain individuals; while
a mushroom which is harmless for
many people may cause serious di-_
gestive ailments for others.
While in the main, Europeans are
noted to be fairly capable in disting-
uishing mushrooms, immigrants often
confuse the European and American
varieties during their first years on
this side of the Atlantic.

King Of England Recites
Poetry, While Germany
Is Discreetly Taciturn
(By The Associated Press) m
Rumblings of re-armament min-
gled with pleas for continued peace
yesterday (Wednesday) as the na-
tions of the world paid homage to
their World War dead on the 18th
anniversary of the Armistice.
Heavy guns, tanks and armored,
cars rolle dalong the Champs Ely-
sees in Paris while France's foreign
minister Yvon Delbos proclaimed a
policy of armed strength "becauseI
the weak are no longer respected."
Asserting that France intends to;
be strong, Delbos said this policy was
her "only choice" in the world where
a state of "permanent mobilization"
exists.
Except for fist fights between Fas-
cist advocates and Socialists and'
Communists in Paris, the Armistice
ceremonies were quiet and peaceful.
In Washington, President Roose-
velt, General John J. Pershing and
other dignitaries stood with bowed
heads at the tomb of the unknown
soldier in Arlington Cemetery to hear
talks of peace.
Germany, seeking to erase thet
Armistice from the public memory,
passed the day in studied silence.
Only one newspaper mentioned the
Armistice, remarking that "eighteen
years ago Germany's disgrace was
sealed" and that "the time is defi-
nitely past when Germany can be
forced into concessions."
In Vienna, the foreign ministers
of Italy, Austria and Hungary opened
the first of a two-day series of con-'
ferences at which one of the ques-
tions to be discussed was restoration
of Hungary's war-carved domain.
Hungary was represented as plan-

Yale Librarian
To Talk Here
This Week-End
Keogh Is Second Speaker
In Library Series; All
Students Invited
Dr. Andrew Keogh, Sterling Pro-
fessor of Bibliography and Librarian
of Yale University, will be the second
of a series of speakers to address the
students of the department of library
science and others interested, in
furtherance of the work in librarian-
ship of the Carnegie Corporation
Grant to the University of Michi-
gan. Doctor Keogh will give three
lectures, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to-
morrow and at 10 a.m. on Saturday,
in Room 110 of the General Library,
all of which are open to the public.
The subject of the first lecture will 1
be "The Yale University Library"
which will be illustrated with lantern
slides. The second and third lectures
will be on certain features of his
work as Sterling Professor of Biblo-
graphy at Yale.
Doctor Keogh has been in library
work for a major portion of his life.
Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, he
came to the United States and re-
ceived his M.A. degree at Yale in
1904. Following that he has been in
turn reference librarian in the New-
castle Public Libraries, librarian of
Linonian and Brothers Library at l
Yale, reference library and finally
librarian in the Yale University Li-
brary.
Doctor Keogh was given an honor-
ary degree of Doctor of Letters by
the University of Michigan at the
commencement proceedings, June 18I
1928. In the citation given him on
this occasion, Prof. J. B. Winter, Di-
rector of the Division of Fine Arts,
said of him, "Administering a re-
sponsible office with marked effi-
ciency he has given devoted service
not only to his own community but
to the fellowship of scholars here and
beyond the seas."
It was further pointed out in this
citation that in founding the Eliza-
bethan Club at Yale he gave impulse
and direction to the youth of his col-
lege.
Among the various entertainments
planned for Doctor Keogh by the Li-
brary committee is a dinner which
will be given by Prof. Eunice Wead
of the department of library science
at her home on 1215 Hill Street.

said this figure was reduced by dis-
