Last summer the "Puppeteers" gave over 60 successful performances. After their Ann Arbor performances they will go to 30 northern Michigan resorts for a seven week's tour. Of them the Albion Recorder says: "The good sized audience of last even- ing was delighted with the novel en- tertainment, and no doubt if the Pup- peteers were to return to Albion they would be greeted with a crowded house." ES5ERY SUCCUMBS TO HEART FAILUR91E Washtenaw County School Comis- soner Dies At His Home In Ann Arbor Tuesday Night HAS HELD PRESENT POST WITH COUNTY SINCE 1907 Evan EIssery, Washtenaw county school commissioner, well-known throughout the state for his work among rural school stud(nts 'died suddenly Tuesday night at his home, 918 South State St. Mr. Essery had been listening to a concert being broadcast over radio. He began to read a newspaper and when it dropped to the floor, Mrs. Es- sery went to him, but he was dead. Death, which came about 9 o'clock, was attributed to heart disease. Evan Essery was born Nov. 21 1856 at Hatherleigh, Devonshire, coun- ty, England. He came to this coun- try when he was 16 years old. In 1892 he went to Manchester as superintend- ent of schools where he remained un- til 1907 when he was elected for his' first term as county school commis- soner. He had served four full terms in this office and one year of his fifth. Mr. Essery was graduated from the Michigan State Normal college of Ypsilanti in 1897. In 1908 he receiv- ed the degree of bachelor of pedagogy from the same institution. Mr. Essery was chairman of the rural section of the Michigan State Teacher's associ- ation and had held other prominent offices in the association. YE TEMPUS sure does fugit! And tempus is cash!

THE AD TAKER Summer Session Popular, Help ful Says Dean Kraus More han 3, 000 men and women have been attendling American un- versities since the close of t~e regu- lar school year this June, says Dean Edward IH. Kraus. lie attributes the large number enrolled to the nation- wide development of plans to keep higher educational institutions at work the year round. Growing pop- ularity of tthe summer study idea is further attested by its adoption by secondary an dhigh schools, the dean declares. . Of the total number of summer stu- dents registered this year, nearly one .third are studying in the state of Michigan. The large percentage for this state may be accounted for par- tially by the opening of numerous small schools for summer work. All together the state has 12,000 of the 35,000 students now at work. Enrollment here reached its low mark just after the war in 1918,,when 1301 ,students attended the Univer- sity. In 1919, registration increased to 1961. In 1920 it was 2194; in 1921, 2794; in,1922, 2786; in 1923, 3066. The present total for this year 3160, and authorities expect that the figure will be 3200 before the end of the session.) Records for the registration of lit- erary and graduate students during the same period show a more than proportional increase in the gradu- ate school. For this purpose educa- tional students, all of whom are ui- dergraduates, are considered with those in the literary school, the in- crease since 1920 amounting to ap- proximately 39 per cent. The in- crease in the Graduate school is 124 per cent. In 1920 there was one grad- uate in seven; now the proportion is one in four and a half. Dean Kraus looks upon the rising enrollment as a consequence of the emphasis lately placed upon advanced work. Attractive courses are being offered which appeal to the graduate student. Also, summer sessions un- dertake to cover not only essential parts of the curriculum taught during the year, but they include special courses to aid and interest certain students, especially school adminis- trators. Public school systems are basing salaries now upon the self- improvement of the teacher. Higher requirements for educators, more interest among students, and the development of better facilities for summer study are among the fact- ors which will continue to bring stu- dents to the universities after the re- gular session. Local Artists Win Applause of Audience Mrs. Ava Comm-Case, pianist, and Mr. Julius Niehaus, basso, were solo- ists at the third of the faculty concerts last night. Both artists are compar- atively new to Ann Arbor, Mrs. Case being one of the newest additions to the piano faculty of the School of Music and Mr. Niehaus being a new arrival in Ann Arbor. Mrs. Case op- ened her recital with Grieg's Sonata, Op. 7, following with a group of small numbers, extremely modern in their import, and closing her program with the Polonaise of MacDowell, the most splendid of all of the American's compositions. She plays with a great deal of sympathy and power, but her pedaling in the Grieg Sonata was too insistent, obstructing the clarity of her tone, and the beauty of her phrasing. She was best in the small numbers, where her natural musici- ansh'ip, and artistry were well suited to the quiet rythm of the songs. Julius Niehaus, *the pupil of James Hamilton, a Chicago singer who has come here to continue his studies un- der Hamilton, has a fine bass voice, powerful, robust, yet capable of the most beautiful effects when singing sotto voce. His program was light but pleasing, from the sombre majesty of Beethovens's In Questa Tomba Ob- scure to the rollicking 'swing of Roll- ing down to Rio. His is a bass voice, deep and vibrant and at the same time musical, colorful ad dramatic yet at DEMOCRATS NAME DAVI91S FOR CHIEF IN 103RD BALLOT liltAIOO FAILS TO TRANSFER DEMOCRA TIC NOMINEE STRENGTH1 TO MEREDITH IN FIGHT NOMINATION MADE BY ACCLAMATION OF BODY 'ichigan Casts 29.5 For Davis In Last Roll Call; Bryan Opposiion Fails BULLETIN New York, July 9.-(By AP)-Sen. Thomas J. Walsh of Montana refused the Democratic Vice Preisdential nom- ination here late last night. Madison Square Garden, New York, July 9.-John W. Davis of West Vir- ginia was nominated for president to- day by the Democratic national con- vention. The opposition of William Jennings Bryan and the attempt of William Gibbs McAdoo to deliver his strength to Meredith failed to stop him. The decision came on the 103rd ballot. Beginning with this morning's bal- lotting the movement to Davis gather- ed a momentum which could not be retarded and gradually but surely through the succeeding ballots the votes flopped over into the Davis column as state after state either in- creased its offering to him or turned over its whole quota. Bryan's opposition to Davis was swept away in the rain of Davis votes which swept over the convention. On the ballot, which nominated Davis, Michigan voted: Davis 29.5; Walsh, .5. Acclamationi Granted The attempt of the McAdoo forces to make Meredith the successor to the McAdoo strength commanded a follow- ing but the Iowan was only a bad third and when the Davis flood was rising so fast that all other candiltes were being swept before it, Iowa. Meredith's home state, withdrew him from the contest and voted for Davis. The scenes of disorder swept the1 convention as everybody clamoed for a chance to join the winning forces. When the uproar was at its height Thomas Taggart of Indiana mounted a chair and moved the nomination of Mr. Davis by acclamation. The mo- tion was carried with a roar and' Chairman Walsh shouted: "The chair declares the Hon. John Wt. Davis the nominee of this con- vention."

James, of the geo- graphy department, delivered a lec- ture on "Geographical Observations in the Great Deserts of Peru" yester- day at 5 o'clock in Natural Science auditorium. Professor James illustrated his lec- ture with a series of lantern slides, showing the geographical features of. that part of South America. "From a geographical standpoint, the study of the problems of the des- ert are always very simple," said Professor James. Due to the \a.ck of moisture the physical changes in a desert are few, and the study of the problems of the deserts of Peru are easier than the study of other des- erts of the world because there are practically no physical changes at all in those regions. "No other desert in the world shows the entirely rain- less condition that the desert of At- acama does, in that part of the globe." The deserts of Peru lie along the east coast of that country. This is due to the fact that the Andes mountains shut off the trade winds, and the lack of moisture leaves these areas near the coast totally barren. These re- gions are different from all other des- erts, in that there is no growth of vegetation, not even the so-called des- ert shrub, on them. The coastal mountains are like these areas in this respect that they also are absolutely barren. Discussing the industries and char- acter of Peru, Professor James stated that most of the products of Peru have to go through the coastal des- erts on their way to the coast for shipment. This makes the problem of getting the exports to the coast a costly and dangerous process. Walla Walla, Wash., July 9.-Walla Walla now boasts of the lowest taxi- cab rates of any city of its size; the largest concern here recently announc- a flat rate of 25 cents to any part of the city. An 'increase in business has resulted in the step, it was stated. By photographing the stars from time to time, a machine known as "the Zenith tube," is said to indicate the distance the land slips each year. DELMIVER [0111HLECTURE "Public HealtiX From An International Standpoint," Is Topic To Be Discussed WILL BE ENTERTAINED BY MEDICAL SOCIETY Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum- mings who will speak at 8 o'clock tomorrow night in Natural Science auditorium, will have as his subject, "Public Health from an International Standpoint."

As such it has charge of all maritime regulations and quarantines, and examination of all immigrants. His knowledge of the subject he is to speak on comes direct. ly from the work with which Surgeon General Cummings is connected. This is one of the series of public health lectures. In honor of Surgeon General Cum- mings, a dinner is being arranged by the public health committee of the Washtenaw County Medical society. The dinner is scheduled to be held at the Michigan Union at 6 o'clock tomorrow.

St HOLDS LEAD IN OLYMPIC MEET THROUGH 4 DAYS AMERICANS HAVE 135 POINTS, FINLAND 73, AND GREAT !BRITAIN 34 SCHOLZ WINS 200 METER RUN, PADDOCK FOLLOWS Turn Of Head Costs Californian First Placesin Race Won By Team Mate Scholz, N. Y. A. C. BULLETIN James K. Broker, '25L, has qualified for the finals in the pole vault togeth- er with the three other American vaulters at the Olympic games. Olympic Stadium, Colombes, France, July 9.-(By AP)-America, with her mighty track and field forces is stead- ily piling up a formidable margin over her gallant rival Finland and also squared accounts today with Great Britain in the spectacular con- test of the two nations for the Olympic speed laurels, when the veteran Am- erican whirlwind, Jackson V. Scholz, New York A. C., swept to triumph in the 200 metre dash. The Stars and Strips went up on the victory pole with the greatest thrill that has yet marked the historic athletic fray. Finishing the last ten meters like a catapult, Scholz won a sensational race by inches from his countryman, Charles W. Paddock, who, after lead- ing to win a few strides of the taps threw what seems to have been cer- tain victory for him to the wind by slightly turning his head to see his closest rival. That fleeting instant of waywardness cost the Californian the glory of an Olympic cown but did not change the final ttiumph of the United States. When dusk settled over the fourth day of the stirring competition, the United States had taken a command- ing lead. With twelve events, nearly half the program completed, the wear- ers of the shield had amassed a total of 135 points, nearly twice as many as Finland, which was in second place with 73. Great Britain third with 34 1-2. First place honors also rest with the Americans who had taken 6 events, while the Finns had captured 4 and Great Britain 2.
