President Demands
A Firm Prosperity
NEW YORK, Oct. 20 -(P)- The
psychology of fear was swept out of
Wall Street today by the biggest
stock market advance since the first
day of trading after the banking hol-
iday in March, 1933.
A buying power which gained new
force overnight, after yesterday's clos-
ing surge upward, carried prices of
leading shares up $1 to $7, with oc-
cassional advances of considerably
more, and virtually wiped out the
losses suffered in the panicky selling
of Monday and early Tuesday.
Not even sporadic spells of profit-
selling deterred the day's rally which
was the most sustained that "the
street" has witnessed for some weeks.
Whereas on Monday and Tuesday,
trading opened with a heavy accum-
ulation of selling orders, the opposite
was true today and the ticker tape
frequently was behind on the upswing
instead of on the down.
F.D.R. Asks Coordination!
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 -(P)-
Federal officials who wield potent
powers over the stock market heard
from President Roosevelt today that
the Government must perfect and co-
ordinate its mechanisms for building
a firm prosperity, free from violent
swings into booms and depressions.
The President delivered a brief ad-
dress at dedicatory ceremonies for the
new Federal Reserve building. Top-
ranking financial officials, legislators
and private bankers were among the
audience.
The Stock Market, which regained
today some of the ground lost in
recent steep plunges, drew no direct
mention from Mr. Roosevelt. Neither
did he refer to assertions by some
business leaders that government pol-
icies were responsible for the market
downturns.
The nation's monetary and credit
machinery, the President said, "must
be steadily perfected and coordinated
with all other instruments of Govern-
ment to promote the most productive
utilization of our human and material
resources.
"Only in that way can our economic
system and our Democratic institu-
tions endure, hand in hand."
At another point, the executive said
banking powers have been concen-
trated in the Federal Reserve Bqard
"so that they can be used promptly
and effectively in accordance with the
changing needs of the country."
48 September
Crashes Here,
Survey Shows
Statistics compiled for the Nation-
al Safety Council by the Ann Arbor
Police department show that during
September there were 48 traffic ac-!
cidents involving 88 cars in Ann Ar-!
bor.
The survey shows no fatalities for
the month although there were 13
people injured. This is a decrease of
two in the number of deaths from
traffic accidents in September, 1936.
So far this year there have been two
traffic fatalities, while in a corres-
ponding period in 1936 there were 10
killed.
The total number of accidents has
increased from 36 in September, 1936
to 48 for September of this year. Of
the 88 drivers involved in these acci-
dents, 55 were from Ann Arbor, seven
from the metropolitan area, 21 from
elsewhere in the state and four from
outside Michigan.
Only 11 of the 88 persons concerned
in the accident were violating traffic
ordinances at the time, the survey
showed. No drunken drivers were in-
volved in the accidents.
There is more chance for an 'acci-
dent between 3 and 6 p.m. in Ann Ar-
bor than any other time, the report
showed. 40 of the accidents took place
during the day and 8 at night.

Situation Is Largely.,Fault
Of Local Householders,
ProfessorHigbie Says
By WILLIAM ROY SIZEMORE
Lighting arrangements in the ma-
jority of student rooms were brand-
ed as "generally deplorable" by Prof.
H. H. Higbie of the electrical en-
gineering department yesterday.
Although this situation, which in
many cases constitutes 5 serious
abuse to the eyes of student roomers,
is largely the fault of householders,
students, themselves, may alleviate
the situation somewhat by a little in-
telligent experimentation, he con-
tinued.
Standards for room lighting as set
up by Professor Higbie include:
1. Sufficient illumination to en-
able the eyes to see without eye-strain.
For reading and writing, 30 or 40
foot-candles of illumination should
be adequate, certainly not less than
10.
2. An even distribution of light so
that tle eye is not continually forced
to readjust itself as it is when it
goes from a region of high bright-
ness to one of low brightness.
3. Absence of direct or reflected
glare resulting principally from spots
of exceptionally high brightness.
4. Absence of dark or sharply out-
lined shadows.
Detailed technical studies of
sample rooms by electrical engineer-
ing students reveal that lighting fa-
cilities too often fail to come up to
these standards. Referring to the
first requirement, the reports show
that the amount of light necessary
varies with the particular room. The
n
Averted As Fascists
University's rooming contract speci-
fication, which has been raised to
100 watts per student, can provide
good illumination if the arrange-
ments are proper, Professor Higbiej
said. However, the cheap flexiblel
goose-neck type of desk lamp most
commonly used in the rooms may
give an excessively high illumina-
tion over a small part of the desk
but a very inadequate illumination
over the larger portion of the desk.
In connection with the second
requirement, one student report said,
"At the working position . . . the in-
tensity of the illumination varies 27i
foot candles in the short space of one
foot!" Investigation by another stu-
dent shows that there was a varia-
tion of from 41 foot-candles on one
edge of a book lying flat to 7 foot
candles on the adjacent page.
The same reports reveal that glare
is almost always present with the
lighting facilities furnished in the
rooms. A fairly efficient remedy for
this problem is the installation of
any of the illuminating engineering
society study lamps, Professor Higbie
said.

Phi Sigma Delta Is

Fraternity men should pay more
attention to the standards they have
set for themselves, and live up to the
things they swear to when taken into
a fraternity instead of speaking them
and forgetting them, Prof. Karl Lit-!
zenberg, of the English department,
said last night, speaking before the
third annual fraternity pledge ban-
quet in the Union.
Discussing four points: the origin
of fraternities, the relation of the
fraternity to the University, the re-
lation of the individual to the fra-
ternity and the status of the fra-
ternity in the changing world, Pro-
fessor Litzenberg pointed out that the
relationof the University to the fra-
ternity is that of father to son.
Quoting from President Ruthven's
attitude on fraternities expressed two
years ago, he declared that frater-
nities must think of raising their
scholastic average above that of all
men students, of maintaining good
social conditions and behavior and
of keeping their houses in good fi-
nancial condition.
"The fraternity idea is different
from the dormitory or boarding
house idea," Professor Litzenberg
went on to sav."ti ifPrn nth
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-(AP)-A dis-
tinguished scientist said tonight that
chemists were trying generations ago,
even as now, to get women to look .
for their beauty aids in the fruits of
orchard and garden rather than in
the drug store.
And, he added, it appeared it was
a job as thankless then as now.
Speaking in the centennial celebra-
tion of the birth of Charles Frederick
Chandler, New York's first public
health chemist, Dr. Haven Emerson,
director of public health of the Col-
lege of Physicians and Surgeons,
wondered aloud whether it was all
worth while-so far as the women and
their cosmetics were concerned.
It happened, said Dr. Emerson,
that Dr. Chandler often in the course!
of his duties disclosed "fraud and!
damage to health, as in his analysis
of cosmetics, especially poisonous hair
tonics, washes and skin restoratives,
lotions, enamels and skin powders."
"How modern!" he added. "How
iumiliating!"
"How revealing of the perpetual
gullibility, the shallow emulation of
those females of the species who con-
tinue to act as if beauty comes from
the drug store instead of the garden
or the orchard, or from without in-
stead of within the human economy.
"As one looks about at the cada-
veric finger tips, the enamelled toe-
nails, the deformed eyebrows, the
filled facial creases that try to re-
veal character but are cheated out of
it, the hectic cheek reminiscent of
the fever ward of a tuberculosis hos-
pital, the ill-assorted daubs of ani-
line upon the lips, one wonders if it
is worth the while of the Congress

Rebels Said Near
To Burning Gijon,
BIARRITZ, France, Oct. 20.-(A')--I
A group of Spanish Governmentl
fliers who fled from Gijon today said
the city was in flames and further
defense against Generalissimo Fran-
cisco Franco's advancing army ap-
peared impossible.
Anarchy was spreading, they said,
with Basques and Asturians fighting
each other in the streets. Food sup-
plies were nearly exhausted, and only
a few militiamen still were ready to
hold out against the Insurgents, they
added.
Reports from Hendaye said Fran-
co's forces were crushing all resist-
ance after having occupied the cities
of Villaviciosa and Infiesto, less than
12 miles from Gijon, objective of the
Insurgents in the Asturian campaign.
Outbreak Of Sniping Hits
Holy Land; None Killed
JERUSALEM, Oct. 20.-(AP)-Elu-
sive snipers kept alive the wave of
terrorism in the Holy Land today by a
series of attacks in hallowed Biblical
settings.
The new attacks were a continua-
tion of the outbreaks which have re-
sulted in 39 deaths-six Jews and 33
Arabs-since Great Britain, as man-
datory power, proposed the partition
of Palestine July 7.
Sniperstpeppered bullets about a
police station near the Church of the
Nativity at Bethlehem. Police re-
turned the fire, but no casualties were
reported.
A bomb was thrown at a group of
Jewish constables as they were en-
tering the police station at Safed, a
small town north of the Biblical city
of Capernum. The bomb exploded
harmlessly nearby.

British Proposals Accepted
By Grandi To Remove
Volunteers From War
Showdown Avoided
On Spanish Crisis
LONDON, Oct. 20-(P)-Europe's
Fascist-Nazi front broke a dangerous
deadlock tonight over the presence
of foreign soldiers in Spain and
agreed to a scheme through the
Non - Intervention Committee for
getting them home.
Count Dino Grandi, Italian am-
bassador, faced with what his an-
tagonists described as a "stiffening
attitude" by Great Britain and
France, accepted British proposals
for evacuating the foreign volun-
teers rather than precipitate a crisis.
The action, supported by German
agreement, took place in the session
of the Nine-Power subcommittee of
the 27-nation 'hands-off Spain" body.
It delayed indefinitely both com-
plete withdrawal of the volunteers
and the granting of belligerent rights
to the warring parties in Spain.
It also facilitated adoption of a
formula which will enable Great
Britain and France, as well as Italy
and Germany, to stave off any show-
down on the Spanish problem which,
informed suorces said, none wanted
to face now.
The proposals for withdrawing the
volunteers originally were advanced
y the British last July and a split
occurred soon after whether evacua-
tions or the question of belligerent
rights should be discussed first.
With their acceptance now by
Italy and Germany, informed sources
envisaged the procedure as follows:
1. Withdrawals to begin-probably
in equal numbers from among for-
eigners fighting with the Insurgents
and the Government in Spain. The
subcommittee will meet tomorrow
afternoon to establish this point defi-
nitely.
2. A .commission will go to Spain
to report on the numbers of vol-
unteers and a system for their evac-
uation.
3. Complete evacuation to be un-
dertaken.
4. An independent authority, prob-
ably the Non-Intervention Commit-
tee, to decide the moment when bel-
ligerent rights should be granted.
British officials said the entire
scheme fitted into the framework of
the British proposals advanced July
14.
