instrument and has had it ever since,
Another in his collection is his
most extraordinary instrument,
which he discovered in Capetown,
South Africa, on his four and latest
world tour. The violin, which took
three years to make, is built entirely
of square matches. There are 2,750
matches pieced and tightly glued
together to form a fiddle and Heifetz
has demonstrated that it can be'
played well.
Heifetz is especially noted for his
great interpretative powers and un-
usual virtuosity, which have rock-
cted him to the heights of recogni-
tion as one of the greatest living
violinists.
Traffic Accidents
Cause 10 Fatalities
Traffic accidents in Washtenaw
County claimed the lives of 10 per-
sons from Jan. 1, 1936, to the pres-
ont, an investigation of local and
county police reords revealed yester-
day.
All but one of the deaths,,occurred
outside Ann Arbor and were handled
by county sheriff's officers. 212 ac-
cidents were reported to the sheriff's
office in the 328-day period.
The total of accidents for both the
city 'and county was 856, most of
them resulting only in damage to ve-
hicles. The majority of accidents in-
volving personal injuries also oc-
curred in the out-county area.
A total of 644 traffic accidents have
been reported to local police since Jan.
1. Of this number, 559 occurred
from the first of the year to Oct. 31,
and 55 during the first 24 days of
November.

well as Michigan politics was Senator
Lewis Cass. Cass was born in New
Hampshire and set out on foot for
the Northwest Territory. He studied
law in Ohio and in 1813 was appoint-
ed military and civil governor of
Michigan, in which capacity he served+
until 1831, when he resigned to be-
come secretary of war in President
Jackson's cabinet.
In 1836 Cass was made envoy to
France. He remained in Paris for
four years. Upon his return he was
elected to the Senate from Michigan
on the Democratic platform. How-I
ever, he resigned his senatorial post
to become presidential candidate on
his party ticket. He was defeated
and by a twist of fate or of clever
party strategy, Cass was elected to
fill the vacancy in the Senate caused
by his own resignation.
Election Causes Furore
The senatorial election of Michigan
that caused the greatest furore in the
press of the nation in recent years
was the one that found Truman H.
Newberry of Detroit the winner in
1918.
This war year campaign found
Henry Ford running in the primaries
on the slates of both major parties
for the senatorial nomination, with
his "peace at any cost" program. Ford
was defeated by Newberry for the Re-
publican nomination but received the
Democratic and ran against the lat-
ter in the general election.
Newberry won the election by a
slim majority, Ford unsuccessfully'
contesting the result. Newberry was
hailed into court on a charge that
he had violated the Federal Corrupt
Practices Act by spending between
$190,000 to $200,000 during the cam-
paign.
Newberry Found Guilty
The Michigan courts found New-
berry guilty and sentenced him to
two years. Newberry protested dur-
ing the hearing thathe did not know
that his friends had spent so much
money during the campaign. The
Supreme Court of the United States
reversed the decision, declaring that
Congress did not have the power to
enact legislation regulating senator-
ial elections.
Newberry was given his seat in the
Senate but he resigned shortly after.
Cold weather slows down the work
on the Burton Memorial Tower, but
the construction of the exterior will
be completed within a few weeks, ac-
cording to the contractors.
The stonework has gone up as far
as the tenth story now. The past two >
weeks little progress has been visible
from the ground, as they have been
working on the first "ribbon course,"
a. belt of irregularly shaped stones
around the tower just below the bell
chamber. This work is made te-
dious by the fact that the stones
project out from the surface for dif-
ferent lengths, some as much as 10
inches.
Now the stones are being laid on
the eleventh floor, which is the bellj
chamber, and a couple of days
should? see its completion-and then
they'll bump into another ribbon
course and the going will be slowed.
To the unknowing onlooker, the
tower seems to shoot straight up in-
to the sky, but the bluebrints assure
one that it actually slopes gradually
upward. The difference between the
base and the tenth floor is three
days and
fast, and
the next
feet, ten inches, and between the
base and the top--seven feet, eight
inches, although the latter increase
can be accounted for by several in-
sets above the bell chamber.
"How fast does the work go?-

gress a single story," says the con-j
tractor in charge.,
"The cold? Yes, that hinders us
some, but not so much as the wind."
He said that the canvas stretched
around the scaffolding does much
to protect the workmen from having
their very trousers torn from them at
times.
A coke fire burns constantly on
the framework on which the work-

men stand, so that the work isn't
halted for warming of hands.
When the work goes smoothly,
meaning when the stone is being
laid in a simple pattern, 25 to 32 men
are employed on the project. At
other times only 20 are needed.
Among the most difficult spots are
the arches, which are yet to come,
and the ribbon courses.
A huge clock will be housed in
the bell chamber, with metal let-
ters. This will not be attached un-
til the stonework is completely laid.
