No. 13 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS f THIRD PARTY OPENS CONVENTION TODA1 DELEGATES GAHER PROGRESSIVES' MEETING TO BE HELD IN CLEVELAND OHIO COMMUNISTS BARRED FROM SEATS IN BODY Committee Asks LaFollette Permis- sion To Use Name For President- ial Nomination Washington, July 3.-Senator La- Follette intends to hold his peace with reference to his plans to run for presi- dent until a Democratic candidate has been selected in New York, it was said today by a group of his support- ers who held a conference here. Cleveland, Ohio., July 3.-(By AP)- Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wis- consin today formally was asked to permit the use of his name as a presi- dential candidate by the national com- mittee of the Conference for Pro- gressive Political Action which opens its convention here tomorrow. A subcommittee drew up a message to the senator which was submitted to the full committee for approval and then dispatched to Washington. A favorable reply confidently is ex- pected by the leaders of the Cleveland gathering. A big influx of delegates was expected today. Among these was William Green, secretary of the' United Mine Workers of America. Many Socialists who will take part in the national convention of that party opening July 6 also were here in the role of observers, although their organization is represented as an of- ficial unit of the conference. Mqrris Hillquist a member of the national committee of the Socialists, also is a member of the national coin- mittee of the Progressive confernce. Communists will not have a part in the conference here, if the sentiment of the national committee is carried out. This committee yesterday agreed that the credentials of all deleghtes shall be critically inspected and that Communists when known to be such, shall not be seated. Each delegate, it was said, will have to represent an accredited organization. Men's Ed Club Is Representative Figures from the directory of the men's Educational Club show partial- ly, at least, a significant distribution of students taking education this sum- mer. Classifications may be made professionally, as to the positions held by members during the school year, and geographically, as to the places' in which they are employed. Of the 108 students members, 23 are principals and 36 are superintend- ents. A few are students at Michigan, but most of the rest are department heads and instructors. A total of 85 men will teach next year in this state after spending the summer at the University. Others come from Illinois, North Dakota, Neb- raska, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ala- bama, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Texas and Louisana. The whole group is thus fairly representative of educat- ional institutions and practice over the country. Anotherfact that demonstrates the further interest and usefulness of the club is that 46 of its members come from school systems in communities of less than 500 population, while 60 teach in larger places, including Chi- cago and Detroit. Faculty members numbering 23 are listed as members. 1 -9 Individual And CommunityHave Responsibilities In an interview, Monday, Miss Mar- jorie Delavan, the Director of the Bur- eau of Education for the Michigan De- partment of Public Health, who is giv- ing five Health lectures on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of this week, and on Wednesday and Thursday of next, at four o'clock in the West Am- phitheater of the Medical building, emphasized the need of health public- ity. It is the adult, according to Miss Delavan, who is hard to educate in health habits. The average man is of ten very ignorant and has a number of wild theories and superstitions about diseases and their cures. It is just this popular ignorance that the Public Health workers are trying to fight. They are doing it largely through pub- licity, "safe, sane and reliable publi- city." The newspapers, the slogans, the lecture platform, all help to put across the idea of Public Health. Both the individual and the com- munity have a definite responsibility and it is the job of the Health worker to reach thenr by every legitimate means. Miss Delavan is taking up principles of publicity in her lectures. She con- siders adult instruction as a selling proposition, based on the psychology of salesmanship and advertising. By reaching the individual, she believes we can get multiplied action, result- ing in healthier communities through- out the country. The movement for public health has been going on for about fifty years. Health publicity is, however, a very recent organization, dating about three years back. However, it is growing very rapidly and offers a fascinating new field of work. Health nurses are now doing the largest share of it, but it offers great opportunities along other lines, pamphleteering, lecturing, and field work. Dr. H. E. Kleinschmidt, the head of the Toledo Public Health Service, will talk on graphic aids in lecturing, onl next Monday and Tuesday.1 This course of lectures is of es- pecial value for public health nurses and doctors. LINCOLN CASUELL WILL IMPERSONATE LINCOLN Abraham Lincoln will be personified by his namesake, Lincoln H. Caswell, in an entertainment given under the auspices of the public speaking de-i partment on July Interpretation andi impersonation of the president will be given in costume. Mr. Caswel's life has been one of1 continuous admiration and study ofi the life and character of Abraham1 Lincoln. His father, also an ardent admirer of the martyred president, gave him the name of Lincoln when, he was a few days old. These circum- stances have culminated in Mr. Cas- well's purpose to portray the prin- ciples and ideals of Lincoln as he has conceived them after a lifetime spent in research and effort to discover and reveal the actual Lincoln. In writing the monologue Mr. Cas- well has chosen all his characters from the actual history of that period and the language used in the imper- sonation is for the most part Lincoln's own. It is given in three acts as fol- lows: The first act brings back the summer of 1862 in Lincoln's office at the White House, where the Presi- dent is receiving! visitors and holding interviews. In the second act you are introduced to Lincoln's famous War Cabinet, at the time of the sign- ign of the Emancipation Proclamation. The third act is laid amid the discour- aging conditions of the summer of 1864, two years later. Paris, July 3.-A great crowd gath- ered to meet Ras Taffari, the Prince of Ethiopia on his recent arrival in Paris because of a rumor that the prince would be accompanied by 15 or 20 jungle animals. The only animal he had, however, was a docile bulldog. Bombay, July 3.-A many-colored bird that leaves its eggs suspended from the boughs of trees was discov- ered by a party of English scientists that returned here recently from the heart of India. Mexico has a freight car shortage.

Hussey, instructor in the Geology department lectured on "Niagara Falls and its History" yes- terday afternoon. This lecture was intended to serve as a preliminary to the excursion which is to be taken there next week. Mr. Hussey traced the development of Niagara falls through the periods of the glaciers. which covered North America and the later receeding of the glaciers due to the warming of the climate and melting of the ice. Interesting statistics concerning the falls were given. Mr. Hussey said, "Nigara falls is approximately 18,000 to 22,000 years old. The American falls is 167 feet high. The crest is 1,000 feet long while the crest of the horseshoe falls is 2,500 feet long. Mr. Hussey told how the falls re- cede each year due to the enormous turmoil created by the water when it strikes the bottom after dashing over the cliff. The tumultuous waters, beating against the soft lower layer of stone wear it away and periodically the top falls over, thus bringing the falls back several feet. The average recession of the falls is a foot a year on the American side and four and one half on the Canadian side. Eventual- ly, according to Mr. Hussey, the falls will disappear but it will be many thousands of years before this will occur. Numerous spectacular slides accom- panied the lecture and a number of remarkable views of the falls were shown. Monterey, Calif., July 3.-The pilot and observer of a seaplane attached to the battleship Mississippi, who were doused in the sea when their craft went into a nose dive off the Del Monte boathouse yesterday were res- cued by the crew of a second plane. England has 12 licensed women air plane pilots. WT I O iWHA T'S GOING ON 'FOUR AME'NDMENTS TO0 GOON BALLOT' FRIDAY National holiday-University suspended. MONDAY DEMOCRATS NABLE TO, PICK CANDIDATE AFTER 2 BALLOTS RALSTON TOTAL SWELLS TO 93 AS MISSOURI LEAVES MCADOO SMITH CONTINUES TO HOLD 319 DELEGATES MicAdoo's Total Now Only 412 1-2 Due To Desertion of Missouri, Mississippi Madison Square Garden, July 3.- Senator Ralston was given the soljid Mississippi vote on the forty-ninth ballot today and he began to pick up scattered groups in other delegations. The Mississippi switch cost McAdoo 20 votes. On the fifty-first ballot McAdoo lost 19 more, Smith gained 8 1-2, Dav- is gained 3 1-2 and Ralston gained 5. On teh fifty-second ballot Lowa re- turned her 26 votes to McAdoo but Missouri, with 36, desetred to Ralston, cutting McAdoo's total to 412 1-2 and and swelling Ralston's to 93. Madison Square Garden, New York, July 3.-(By AP)-Eclipsing all rec- ords for prolonged balloting save one the Democratic national convention still was deadlocked as tightly as ever today with no indications as to how soon the break would come after mak- ing 51 ballots. McAdoo has dropped below the 500 mark again, due to the loss of Okla- homa, which jumped to Senator Robin- son. The Smith people said they were laying back "letting McAdoo have his run" and the McAdoo people said they were waiting for all the Smith votes to be brought out on the floor before displaying their strategy further. Dark Horses Still Dark It looked very much as if both for- ces were near their top strength. Meanwhile, managers of candidates who have been held in reserve as dark horses to break the deadlock were carefully considering the arrival of the moment for them to make their drives. McAdoo's total went down on the forty-third ballot, the first today, be- cause Oklahoma with 20 votes jump- ed out of his column and joined the forces of Senator Robinson of Ark- ansas. The vote on that ballot, the first of the day showed the leaders stand- ing this way: McAdoo, 483.4; Smith, 319.1; Davis 71; Robinson, 44; Ralston 31. This showed a net loss of 19 for McAdoo, carrying him below the 500 mark. It was a gain of a half vote for Smith a gain of 4 votes for Davis and the gain of the whole state of Oklahoma, 20 votes, for Robinson. Michigan divided, 15 for McAdoo and 15 for Smith.

Go To Voters STATE GRANGE BACKS INCOME TAX CHANGES Lansing, Mich., July 3.-The time limit for filing petition for amend- ments to the State oCnstitution to be voted on at the general election in November expired at noon today. Four amendments will go on ballot. They are the proposals for an income tax, reapportionment, changes in the pro- hibition enforcement law and to close the parochial schools. The income tax measure is the one which has the backing of the State Grange. It provides a 4 per cent state tax on incomes in excess of $5,000 in addition to the Federal tax now collected. A. B. Cook, master of the Grange, and other farm leaders have been active in the campaign for a state income tax for several months and had little difficulty getting suffi- cient names to put the measure on the ballot. The proposal for a state in- come tax has once been defeated by the Michigan voters but those behind the present bill believe it will pass because of the provision starting the income tax collections on a minimum salary of $5,000. The previous bill lacked this provision. Dry Law An Issue Voters will be asked to pass on the Michigan "bone dry" prohibition law for the first time since prohibition was adopted in Michigan. This amend- ment would modify the present law to make it comply with whatever the Federal law may mean. Petitions for the amendment were filed by Robert D. Wardell, of Detroit, state repres- entative and secretary of the Michi- gan branch of the National Associat- ion Opposed to the Prohibiton Amend- ment. Dry leaders say that, while the measure on the face of it is apparent- ly harmless, if adopted it would be hailed by the "wets" as an indication that the voters of Michigan are get- ting tired of prohibition and desire a change. Eggs are now being sold for a cent a piece in Russia. I- RAY FOR THE 4TH! Grand, glorious, and noisy- Enjoy yourselves, folks!
