'Average Man
A Poet,' Says
Untermeyer
(Continued from Page 1)
ed of their services in other valuable
capacities.
We use poetry every time we see a
beautiful sunset, see the inoon rising
or "fall in love for the first time,"
he said. But we do not use it only
in the general sense of having a sen-
sation of the beautiful, but we use its
materials, its properties every day
because each of us is at heart a poet.
Even Babbitt, the average man of all
average men, used poetic devices conl-
stantly, unconsciously realizing what
dictates the poet's conscibus endeav-
or, that it is the metaphor which adds
color to his language, makes it most
dramatic.
It is within the power of the poet
to make real to us what realism can-
not, Mr. Untermeyer declared. We
Willingly suspend all disbelief under
the influence of good poetry, making
its message the more forceful for us.
The common language is the lan-
guage of poetry, he said. Today it is
more true than ever that the language
of the poet and the language of the
average man. is the same. Years -ago
the poet embroidered his work with
literary effects peculiar to his sta-
tion, but, Mr. Untermeyer declared,
"the language of our day is the lan-
guage of our literature." The differ.-
eibe between prose and poetry, which
he emphasized with two poems of his
own, "Prayer," and "Last Poem Be-
fore Winter," is a difference in pitch;
in intensity, in feeling, in colorful
awareness of the possibilities of lan-
guage, not a difference in the tools of
language.

Editor Will Speak
Arthur W. Stace, editor of the Ann,
Abor News will give an illustrated
lecture on "Pictures in the News" at
3 p.im. tomorrow in the amphitheatre
of the Graduate School.

tion and believes that in the future
newspapers will devote 50 per cent of
their space to this type of news.

gan were without light aid telephone
service, and scores were injured in
Detroit. .itn Jackson residents were
compelled to use candles and oil for
illumination.
In Ann Arbor, yesteidy, many
business establishments were forced
to idleness for lack of electric light
and power for a short. time.
Small elms and maples, and long
thin birch trees bent. double and'
broke under the weight-of ice. Bushes
and hedges bent to the ground and
spread out with glistening icicles for
winter-time leaves.
Elms were the miost easily hit tree;.
their vertical branches, snapping
readily beneath the ice. . Brittle and
old elmer maples, and Chinese elms
fell easily. Many were completely
ruined in the Arboretum.
In New York the storm .moved in,
strangely enough, to mark the an-
niversary of the famous blizzard of
'88. Although old-timers scoffed at
the storm as compared to the tons of
snow that descended upon New York
in 1888 and paralyzed the city, kill-
ing scores of persons, Gothamites,
shivered and admitted the sleet
storm of March, 1939 was enough for
them.

Facsimile Idea
Will Transmit
Future' Ne ws
By NORMAN A. SCHORR
Broadcasting a daily nine-page
newspaper by the St. Louis Post-
Dispatch is the new development
that has been called "The Newspa-
per of Tomorrow."
The Post-Dispatch radio edition is
made possible by a new process which
permits the transmission 6f news and
photographs over the ether. Receiv
ers have been placed in department
store windows and, along with
television, may well revolutionize
modern systems of communication.
News for the radio edition is set-
up in the composing room in the
same form as it is for the regular
newspaper edition. Standard size type
(seven-point type on an eight-point
slug) is used. Pages are dummied,
arranged and made up in the com-
posing room then sent to the job
department where a clearer proof of
the composition is obtained on heavy,
glossy paper, in comparison to the
regular newspaper stock.
Proofs of the nine pages, which are
four standard newspaper columns
wide (12 ems each) and approximate-
ly seven and one-half inches deep,
are then attached to the transmit-
ting machine for' broadcast.
Of the nine pages, three are devot-
ed to regular news, one to sports and
one to radio news. Three are up-to-
the minute picture pages and the last
page is a typewritten review of the,
day's community markets, together
with any late news bulletins.
In a recent test, a picture was on
the air 30 minutes after it had been
taken.
The Post-Dispatch newspaper ra-
dio station is one of the eight in the
country experimenting with fac-
simile, but was the first to go on the
air with regular daily broadcasts.

By ROBERT BOGLE
Despite tremendous burdens of ice
and sleet, the trees of the campus suf-
fered litie major damages according
to Prr. Dow V. Baxter, of the fores-
try school.
The only serious trouble caused
by the rare ice formation was the de-
formation of some of the larger elms,
Aetracting seriously from their decor.-
ative value, he said. In the probable
event that they do not return to
their forher position and shape, they
will have to be cut down. In contrast
to these comparatively weak shade
elms, Dr. Baxter stated, the firs met
the force of the Weight encumbering

them by merely bowing their tips,
and springing back when freed.
Little damage was done in Saginaw
Forest or any other of the Universi-
ty properties, Dr. Baxter said. This
was chiefly due to the fact that forest
trees tend to shield one another.
Some beneficial action was worked
by the ice on the trees, according to
Baxter. Breakage in almost all cases
occurred at places of tree rot, and in
such places that this rot was on the
limb at' a spot out from the, trunk,
the breakage exposed the diseased
part allowirig treatinent and conse-
quent prOtection of the tree.
