News Writing
Tells
For
Students Of Need
Precise Reporting
Accurate and well-documented re-
porting is the prime requisite for the
reporter of scientific news, R. Ray
Baker, associate editor of the Ann Ar-
bor News, informed students yester-
day afternoon at a meeting sponsred
by the school of journalism in Haven
Hall. He declared it was a "crime to
write science in a haphazard man-
ner."
The interest of the average news-
paper reader in the experiments of
science, in the opinion of Mr. Baker,
-has created a need for a ispecialized
reporter. The scientific reporter has
become a medium between the lay
public and the scientist, he added.
The writer must interpret the tech-
nical phrases of the scientist Into
simple intelligible language, said Mr.
Baker, a special writer for the- Booth
newspaper chain. He described his
technique for the compiling, and in-
terpreting of scientific news. He
stressed the need for extreme care in
preparation of material which he al-
ways asks the scientist to check be-
fore pnblication. He suggested the
use of analogy and metaphors as use-
ful language tools to make clear the
meaning.

labor groups, farmers and workmen,
and the growth of racial hatred all
result from this economic problem, he
stated. A labor movement powerful
enough to secure increased production
and thus alleviate 'cut-throat com-
petition for lobs, he concluded, would
automatically lessen these other con-
flicts.
Tracing the history of the news-
paper union which began in 1933
Weeks showed the gradual identifica-
tion of newspaper workers with the1
cause of organized labor in all fields.
The Guild, at first an independent or-
ganization, became affiliated with the
AFL and later -with the CIO. The
group has grown in strength and now
has a membership of approximately
18,000.
The CIO is the largest organized
group working for progressivism in the
country, he concluded. In addition to
concerning itself with the problems
directly concerning labor such :as
sanctity of contract, maintainance of
a stable wage scale, prevention of lay-
offs and defense of the Wagner La-
bor Relations act, it is also active in
promoting the cause of civil liberties1
and public health and lobbying for
increased relief appropriations, he
stated.
Soprano To Be Featured Artist
On ProgramOfMay Festival
Classified Directory
"An American beauty, both as re-
gards person and vocal endowment.
She has skyrocketed to fame in grand
opera, in the concert field, over the
radio, and in sound films."
This is the way a recent music
critic spoke of Gladys Swarthout,
mezzo-soprano, who makes her first
vocal appearance this year as one of
the featured artists on the May Fes-
tival program.
Miss Swarthout, who is as noted
for her beauty as well as her voice,
and who was also recently selected
one of America's best-dressed wo-
men, has been a featured star of the
Metropolitan Opera Company for
the past eight seasons. Among her
major roles have been: "Mignon,"
Niejata in "Sadko," Guilietta in "The
Tales of Hoffman," Adalgisa in "Nor-
ma," Preziosilla in "Forza del Des-
tino," Mrs, Dean in "Peter Ibbet-
son," Pierrotto in "Linda di Cha-
mounix," and La Cieca in "La Gio-
conda."
She has also met with outstanding
success in concert solo work and each
season fills as many recital engage-
ments as her other activities will
permit. Motion pictures too have
recognized this gifted artist's many
abilities and, in 'the past four years,
she has starred in four Paramount
sound films, "Rose of the Rancho,"
"Give Us This Night," "Champagne
Waltz," and "Romance in the Dark."
Miss Swarthout has been the star
of several radio programs and has
appeared as guest star on innumer-
able others.

out. "The woolen and worsted indus-
try is still localized chiefly in north-
ern states, but its members are appre-
hensive of further migration South-
ward, partly by means of increasing
woolen and worsted operations in
southern cotton mills. Only about 5
per cent of the workers in the wool-
en and worsted industry proper re-
ceive less than 35 cents an hour, but
nearly 50 per cent of the wage earn-
ers in the cotton goods industry
make earnings below the 35-cent
mark.
"It remains to be seen," Professor
Dickinson added, "what minimum
wage or wages will be established
in the cotton mills but presumably
will be lower 4han 36-cents; and if
the latter rate is applied to the
woolen and worsted industry, then
regulations will have to be worked
out with reference to 'mixtures of
fibres.
"The manufacturer members of
the committee, however, thought that
if the minimum wages were only a
few cents different in the two lead-
ing textile industries, there would be
few difficulties by reason of blended
fabrics," Professor "Dickinson said.

Colby Lecture.
Cites Changing,
Land Policies
The shift of a great part of the
population of the Nation to urban
centers has created a need for edu-
cation and training so that we may
formulate a new national economy.
to deal more effectively with modern
land problems, Prof. Charles C. Colby
'of the University of Chicago said in
a University Lecturetyesterday in
the Rackham Amphitheatre.
Professor Colby, geographical ad-
viser to the Tennessee Valley Auth-
ority, traced the histories of land
policies in this country sfrom the
times of the pioneers when it was
first decided to carry on a policy of
individual ownership. In the course
of years, he pointed out, land ac-
quisition, the South's land use sys-
tem for cotton crops and the settle-
ment of the West each took their
turn.
After the World War, speculation
in land was rife, he said, and conse-
quently land values were forced up
too high. The farmer, even in the
years just prior to 1929, was not
prosperous. Professor Colby described
the efforts, in part, of the TVA to
better the land conditions that have
presented themselves.
With the help of greater integra-
tion, he concluded, we -shall be able
to perfect a better econQny to deal
with land conditions in accordance
with the best traditions and ideals
of our country.
be established for cotton goods of
32% cents per hour, the wage struc-
ture in cotton goods would be more
profgundly affected than vwould the
woolen and worsted industry by a{
36-cent minimum; moreover, the lat-
ter industry would be less apprehen-
sive than at present of competition
from cotton mills with reference to+
woolen fibres."
