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. (Continued from Page 1) 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?- Sometimes we do two stories in threej Mink were going pretty then things happen and three days we don't pro- ADELPHI ADMITS MEMBERS 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."

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. f:.® ' f 1,i -1, TnI- - - --- +-' I .. , ., _ j NOWPLAYING PLAY PRODUCTION'S "BURY THE DEAD" Entire Week - Evenings at 8:30 Lydia MEN DELSSOH N Theatre Box Office Now Open - Phone 6300 Thanksgiving Dinner 12 Noon to 3 802 Packard Street Oyster Soup or Fruit Cocktail Olives - Celery R OAST TURKEY - Chestnut Dressing - Cranberry Sauce Eighty-Five Cents ROAST CHICKEN - Dressing Cranberry Sauce Seventy-Five Cents Grilled Sirloin Steak Grilled Pork Chops - Jelly Roast Sirloin of Beef Roast Fresh Ham - Apple Sauce Fifty Cents Mashed Potatoes Candied Sweet Potatoes Buttered Peas Pear Salad Baked Squash Head Lettuce Rocquefort Cheese Dressing Rolls Hot Mince Pie with Cider Sauce Pumpkin Pie With Whipped Cream Nesselrole Pudding Pineapple Sundae Coffee - Tea - Milk The Oratorical Association presents ALEX 4NDER Wit and Raconteur-- HILL AUDITORIUM SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 8:15 p. n Single Admissions $1 and 75c Tickets at Waar .' _' P: Today ALL SEATS 35c - Feature Starts at - 1:20 - 3:23 - 5:25 - 730- 9:40 TODAY and FRIDAY!
