(By Associated Press)
Washington, July 18. - Governors
of 28 coal producing states were call-
ed upon in telegrams sent late today
by President Harding to "second" his
invitation to miners and operators to
resume coal production and to give
them "assurance of maintained order
and the protection of lawful en-
deavor."
The President said he wished to con-
vey to the governors the assurance of
the "trust and full support of the
federal government whenever ancd
wherever, they find agencies of law
and order inadequate to meet the sit-
uation."
He added "our present duty.is to
guarantee security-in all lawful op-
erations-for that production and dis-
tribution demanded by the necessi.
ties of the American people."
Governor Groesbeck of Michigan
was one of the executives addressee
by the President.

NEW-BUILDINGS
Lansing, July 18.-The state will
undertake the cconstrudjon of two
new buildings on the Michigan Ag-
ricultural college campus, in an ef-
fort to keep the cost of the buildings
within the appropriations set aside
by the legislature, the state admins-
trative board decided today. A home
economics building and a combined
library and administration building,
will be erected.
State engineers estimate that they
can build and equip the two buildings
for approximately $800,000. Excava-

Members
(By Associated Press)
Lansing, July 18.-Following a con-
ference between representatives of the
University of Michigan with Governor
Groesbeck and members of the state
administrative board, the University
was authorized today to proceed with
the construction of foundations for a
new Physics building." It is estimated
the structure will cost about $450,000.
The entire building program of the
University was discussed at the con-
ference, but no other definite action
was taken.
Authorjzation of the construction of
the new Physics building will add an-
other important structure to the East
University avenue side of the campus
and marks another important step.in
the University building program.
,The Physics building will be located
on the campus grounds proper, on
East University avenue, directly op-
posite the site of the new Engineering
building shops.
The site of the building has been
cleared, between the north end of the
present Engineering building and the
Medical building.
Excavations for the new Engineering
buildings directly across the street,
are now in progress.

May Increase Troops at Saginaw
Governor Groesbeck did not indi-
cate whether he planned to offer state
police aid to the mine 'operators; it
was considered probable, however,
that the executive might decide to
place a larger force at Sagihaw,
where diorders have taken place, in-
cident to the railroad strike, in an er
fort to prevent all interference with
railroad or mine operations.
MlNNN1MNWL O STRIKE, ASSURES LABOR CHIEF;
EARLY SETTLEMENT ANTIGIPAT!

Washington, July 18. - Replyingtc
a question late today, Attorney-gen-
eral Daugherty said:
"Naturally there is a relationshir
between the railroad and coal situa-
tion, whether inspired or conspired, '
am not saying."
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, de-
clared the President's nessage to the
governors "merely a gesture which
will not produce coal in any substai-
tial quantity" and asserted that the.
mine workers' strike would be con-
tinued. Earlier in the day before the
telegrams had been dispatched, Sam-
uel Gompers, president of the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor, predicted
in a statement that President Hard-
ing's invitation to the operators to
resume operations would result in no
appreciable increase in production.
He added that "when a half million
men are agreed is a poor time indeed
for the roll of, guns, the rating of
sabres and the pounding of the mailed
fist."
DOG AFFECTED BY RABIES
4TTACKS FACULTY 1EMBER
Dr. Herbert W. Emerson, head of the
Pasteur institute of the University
Mgedical school, declared yesterday that
what is said to be the first case of
rabies in Ann Arbor was reported to
him Monday afternoon, when a dog af-
fected by rabies attacked and bit a
faculty member and also an employee
of the University hospital Saturday
afternoon. The dog died early Monday
morning.
There were no pumping engines orf
steam plants for forcing the water, and
even pipes made from boring out logs
were then unknown.
Names Four Sources
Professor Hoad ennumerated four
sources of water supply known in an-
cient times. Springs commonly called
fountains were the most usual means
of securing water. But with the growth,
of city life, this source became inade-
quate.
Wells or the art of collecting ground
water by mechanical as well as me-
chanical labor was early developed to
an astounding degree. Among the most
common of these is Joseph's well in
Cairo which reached a depth of 297
feet. , Stereoptican views were shown
of this and many of the other wells
'familiar in Bible and Roman history.
Giant Acqueducts Built
Reservoirs holding as many as four
or five million gallons with channels
of cement rivaling those used today
were built 300 years B. C.
The last developed source of water
supply, was the acqueduct which is
the means of supply of the ancients
best known to us. Many of these old
aqueducts are standing today. The
scenic effect of Pont du Gard, one-of
the highest and most interesting of the
Roman ruins, is conspicuous to the
tourist of Southern France. Professor
Hoad showed slides of this as well as
of the Claudia and Anio Novus aquer
ducts supplying water to Rome at
the period of the Empire's greatest
height.
Tunneling through solid rock was
done in the time of Hezekiah. Outside
of the city of Jerusalem there is a
tablet which was struck at the time
of the completion of the first tunnel
telling of the workmen calling to each
other across the rock separating them.
"The interesting fact about this," Pro-
fessor Hoad pointed out, "is that, as
today, the tunneling was begun from
each end working toward the center."
SCHOOL AMENDMENT DEAD
ISSUE FOR FALL ELECTION
Detroit, July 18/- With the cer-
tainty that the proposed amendment
to the state constitution, requiring all
children of school age to attend the
public schools, will not be submit-
ted to the state's voters at the No-
vember election, interest in the pri-
Mary campaigns now centers in the
three cornered Republican race for
Ulnited States senatoi.
The proposed amendment, known as
the anti-parochial school measure,
was withheld for the election next
spring. This measure was expected to
vie with the senatorial race for in-
COERCION CHARGED
IN SENATE DEBATE
Washington, July 18.-A charge by
Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis-
consin, that threats to slash rates in
the agricultural schdule had been
used in an effort to keep Republican
senators in line on rates in the cot-
ton schedule of the pending tariff
bill, enliaened senate debate today
on that measure. In this connection
Senator Penroot took to task /some
of his colleagues for what he termed
"blindly joliowing" the finance com-
mittee majority on rates in the bill,
urging that they form "independen
judgment."
After his charge about the threats,
Senator Lenroot offered an amend-
ment to make the rate of knit cotton
under way, 45 per cent instead of
50 and it was approved 28 to 27, with
11 Reuphilcans supporting it. This
was the only case in which the com-
mittee was overturned today.

Mr. Graybold issued a statement to

Week, Mr. Greybold said he had receiv
ed assurance that Chairman Cummin
of interstate commerce conimission
expected to hold early hearings on dis
puted points of the labor provision o
the transportation act, particularl
with reference to the wage principle.
"The basis for the guidance of the
board in the present act is to set "a
just and reasonable wage," Mr. Gray
bold's statement said. "The presen1
issue which should be settled by suc
a hearing by the interstate commerc
committee of the senate and amend-
ments to the law, is an interpretatior
of this phrase just and reasonable and
its application. to a living wage."
Mr. Graybold said that a peacefu:
settlement of the shop men's strik
was being held uTp by a few heads
who were unwilling to allow return

PROFESSOR PETERSON SPEAKS ON
CAUSES AND CURES OF MAL-
IGNANT ILL
"Two questions that are invariably
asked about cancer," said Prof. Reuben
Peterson, of the Medical college last
night in his lecture on "Important
Facts About Cancer," "are 'What
causes it,' and 'Can it be cured?'"
In answer to the first question, Dr.
Peterson said that the cause of cancer
is not known. Cancer is a tumor made
up of cells which have a malignant
growth. They multiply rapidly, push-
ing into the neighboring tissue and
destroying it. These cells, he said,
are carried by lymphatics throughout
the body, if not arrested in the early
stage of their growth.
Cure Possible
"Can cancer be cured ?" The answer
to this question is "Yes," according to
the speaker. Cancer is a local disease.
It is seldom discovered in the early
stage, being microscopic in size. If
removed in the early stage it will not
return. If, however, it has spread
there is less hope.
Nevertheless, the speaker said, peo-
ple are more or less skeptical about
perations for cancer. The reason that
so many deaths occur is because oper-
ation has been made too late.
So far, said Dr. Peterson, the knife
is the only sure cure for cancer. Rad-
ium treatments have not been success-
ful, although the possibilities of rad-
ium must not be disparaged. Radium
cannot displace surgical operations,
except in cases of skin cancer, but
It will be a valuable supplement. Far
more effective in treatment of cancer
,has been the high-tension X-ray, whose
powers of deep penetration, and de-
struction of malignant tissue in places
inaccessible to the knife, make it in-i
valuable. The University hospital is
soon to be supplied with oue of these
machines.
Warns Against Fakers
"The public must be warned against
radium fakers," said Professor Peter-
son, "they are more often after the
money than after a cure."
The great spread of cancer through-
out the world and the increasing num-

PILLSBURY TO ECTURE
IN FRENCH COLLEGSS
WILL SPEND A YEAR SPEAKING
TO STUDENTS OF EIGHT
UNIVERSITIES
Dr. Walter B. Pillsbury, professor
of psychology and director of the psy-
chological laboratory, will leave the
first of August for France where he
will be for the coming year. Besides
lecturing at Sorbonne, the University
of Paris, Professor Pillsbury will give
a series of lectures at the universities
of Bourdeaux, Lyons, Grenoble, Besan-
con, Strasburg, and Monpelier.
Dr. Pillsbury will give all of his lec-
tures in French. Inasmuch as his
work at the University of Paris be-
gins the second semester, until next
January, Professor Pillsbury will be
at the University of Toulouse where
he will prepare his lectures. From
there he will go to Paris where he
will take up residence until the end
of the school year, returning to Ann
Arbor the following August.
Dr. Henry F. Adams, associate pro-
fessor of psychology, will act as head
of the department of psychology dur-
ing Professor Pillsbury's absence.
Professor Adams will give the lectures
in course 7.
Dr. Charles H. Griffitts will give
course 8 next year. Dr. E. B. Skaggs,
of Ohio Wesleyan university, is com-
ing here to take the place of John
D. Finlayson an instructor in the de-
partment this year.
Fashions reign in books as well 'as
in women's clothes, says William W.
Bishop, librarian of the University, in
a May Day address before the Wiscon-
sin Library school, which. has just
been reprinted from a Wisconsin pub-
lication. Mr. Bishop then traced the
fashions in writing materials from the
stone tablet through the hand illum-
inated page to the printed sheet.
Just as styles of dress go on chang-
ing, books continue to follow the fash-
ion' of the age in shape and size and
outward appearance, Librarian Bis-
hop pointed out. Changes in printing
processes have caused a great deal of
the changes found in book making.
Most notable among the changes has
been the lack of variety since the ap-
pilcation of steam to printing.
"In surveying book fashions, literary
styles and modes, the librarian can-
not confine himself to the great exem-
plars of the centuries. After all we
are concerned," Bishop declared, "with
