Central depot this morning, railroad
freight officials said. the regular meeting.
Employes of the Buildings and
Grounds department are building a
shed to house the new mirror, since
it is too large to tit into the present
observatory. It is 971/4 inches in di-
ameter, weighing 10,500 pounds, and
is exceeded in size only by the 100-
inch telescope at Mt. WilsontObserv-
atory and the 200-inch telescope at
Mt. Palomar, Calif.
University authorities had hoped
to have a new observatory built to
house the telescope, but $500,000 is
needed to erectbthe structure. A site
has already been chosen at Base
Lake, northwest of here. The con-
struction of the telescope was fi-
nanced by a bequest.

composer of note, he has written
several symphonies, three operas,
much chamber music and a variety
of songs and vocal choruses. As a
conductor he spent long terms with
the Moscow Private Opera and the
Moscow Symphony Orchestra. He
was once offered the conductorship of
the Boston Symphony.
F Pour pianos go along wlien Mr.
Rachmaninoff starts on one of his
lengthy American tours. Not all
four, however, are sent to every city;
they are kept in different sections of
the country in readiness for the vir-
tuoso's long jumps so there is no
possibility of his being caught short
without the right piano at concert
time.
The Cleveland Symphony Orches-
tra will follow Mr. Rachmaninoff on
Nov. 9.
Cooperatives' Rise
Due To Competition
Cooperatives in the United States
now have 2,000,000 members, having
made a 13 per cent increase in the{
past 10 years, Joseph W. Mundus, of
Ann Arbor, past president of the state
association of insurance agents, told
the local Lions Club Monday.
"Unfair competition" was respon-
sible for the growth of cooperatives,1
Mr. Mundus said, pointing out that
they are provided with government
aid and are eligible for certain tax
exemptions. Great Britain and Swed-
en, where cooperatives have made
much more progress' than in this
country, do not grant such exemp-
tions, he added.
Sixty cooperatives operating in the
middle west in 1935 showed a profit
of $727,000, he declared, representing
a net gain of 4.13 per cent.
