DAYS Dr. Michael Davis, who is lecturing here for the Public Health School isI secretary of the Committee on Dis- pensary Development of New York, which is supported by the Rockefeller. Foundation. He states that theI clinics of that state have grown so fast that they have developed no stan- dards and the committee of which hef is a member is trying to work outt standards for the clinics. The people in this Public Health School are doctors for the most part although there are also others inter- ested in public health, and they want to know what is being done in other places. Dr. Davis is able to give them a comparative view because of his widespread experience. The death rate has gone down in tuberculosis and that of babies under a year old has decreased also as a re- sult of the work done by the clinics. There are two reasons why the deathl rate has gone down-first, the cause7 of the death is discovered and-sec- ond, the people are told how to rem- edy the condition. Children exposed to tuberculosis are given a diet by the clinic to build them up. Public Dispensaries are doing a great deal+ toward educating mothers to take proper care of small babies.

Washington, July 18.-(By AP)- Senator Arthur K. Wheeler, democrat, Montana, can have the vice presidenti- al nomination of the LaFoffette ticket if he wants it. Senator LaFollette himself urged Mr. Wheeler today to become his run- ning mate, and endorsement was offered the Montana senator on be- helf of the confernce for progressive political action, which approved Le- Follette's independent candidacy for the presidency convention at Cleve- land. Senator Wheeler said he would an- nounce his decision within 24 hours. Some of those who consutled with him during the day declared they were confident he would be a candidate al- though he announced two days ago that he would decline the nomination if it were offered to him. Efforts to get Senator Wheeler to change his mind were renewed as a group of LaFollette supperters in- structed by the Cleveland convention to indorse a vice-presidential candi- date acceptable to the Wisconsin Senator met here today to make a choice. WOMEN VOTERS LEAGUE TO GATHE HERE SOONJ Final plans are being made for the accommodation here next week of out-' of-town students enrolled in the In- stitute of Politics by the Ann Arbor organization of the eLague of Women Voters. Mrs. George W. Patterson, as president of the local branch, has had charge of detailed arrangemnts, and has been assisted in her work by Miss Helen C. Bullock, '25, and Miss Helen C. Bishop, acting dean of wo- men. Guests attending the meeting will be placed at the Union, in guest rooms at the various dormitories, and in a few league houses. Luncheons on the Union porch every noon during the week will bring the women together at other than study hours. Mrs. L. M. Warfield has been in charge of the luncheon plans. First registration will be at Bar- bour Gymnasium from 11 to 12 on Monday; students arriving later will register at the Union desk w'here hours will be from 9:30 to 10 and from 1:30 to 2 daily. It is expected that most of the guests will come in on Sunday and Monday. At the informal reception to be giv- en at Mrs. Patterson's home at 2101 Hill on Monday between 4 and 5:30, all members and prospective members of the League will be received. Stu- dents attending the summer session and not connected with the organiz- ation are invited to attend. Deans Leave On Vacation Dean John R. Effinger, of the liter- ary college, and Dean Alfred H. Lloyd, of the Graduate school, and his family left by motor today for Lake Pieco in New York state, where they will spend the remainder of the summer. The two families have gone to this lake, which is located in the south-western part of the Adiron- dacks, for several seasons. Mrs. Effinger and her son will join Dean Effinger at the close of summer school, while Margaret Effinger will come from a camp in New Hampshire where she is a councillor. The Lloyds and Effingers will return some time in September. University, says that the camp is for the purpose of giving the under-priv- ileged boy a country vacation. "The type of boy we get," said Professor Menefee, "is the boy of the streets. Quite often the boys come from the detention homes, and the Mothers' Pension bureau. More than 100 of the boys who have been out there already this year are from this bur- Reparations Agent northwest of Ann Arbor. Judges of the probate courts in Jackson, Flint, Detroit, and Ham- tramck hold this camp out as a place for city boys who are wayward through lack of proper social condi- tions. The boys in Hamtramck, who are on parole, report to the judge each week in the year. And about the only question they ever ask is, "What's my chances.of going to camp this year?" It is the real, energetic type who is always getting into trouble, said Professor Menefee. And what the camp tries to do is turn this energy into the proper channels. The success of the camp is demon- strated partly by the fact that last Tuesday, two boys started to walk to Ann Arbor from Deroit, on their way to camp. They arrived in Ann Ar- bor late Tuesday evening. And they would have walked the other 25 miles to camp if they had had to in order to reach their destination. They have a swimming instructor in camp, also a medical and engineer- ing officer. All three of these men are Michigan students. Bonetus, an Indian chief, whose home is in the Upper Peninsula, is teaching the boys the art of handling a canoe, basket- weaving, and Indiancraft. The boys are busy from reveille in I I , J I 1 1 c 3 the morning at 6:30 until taps at 9:30j in the evening. There are setting-up exercises, tent, inspection, and swim- ming in the morning.

One poor sonal contact with university men, Dean Maximo 3F. Kalaw of Philippine University Gives Ilustra- ted Lecture SAYS BASEBALL AND OTHER AMERICAN SPORTS POPULAR Dean Maximo M. Kalaw of the Uni- versity of the Philippines lectured yesterday afternoon in Natural. Sci- ence auditorium on "The Present Day Philippines". The lecture was illus- trated. The speaker began by giving a few general points of interest in regard to the islands. There are over 7000 islands in the group, although but comparatively few of them are inhab- ited. He discussed the probable for- mation of the archipeligo, suggesting the theory that it was probably once part of the continent of Asia which had become detached from the main- land through geologic disturbances. He stated that though much the avail- able land is under cultivation there is still enough good agricultural land to make the islands capable of support- ing 17,000,000 people. Most of the population are Christian, though there is a small percentage divided among a number of other minor religions. Dean Kalaw next showed a number of slides showing scenes in various places on the islands. He said that contrary to the popular notion Spain early established an educational sys- tem on the islands during her occu- pation of them. At the present time, he said, there are over 1,000,000 stu- dents in the primary schools of the islands and the higher educational system is also being rapidly built up. Baseball and other American sports are very popular in the island according to Dean Kalaw. A large number of other different scenes of roads, churches, and natural scenery. were shown in addition.

PLAYERS PLEASE -WTH SECOND Of DRAMATIC SERIES HANDICAPPED BY BAD ACOUS- TICS AND LACK OF NUMBERS "IF I WERE KING" IS PRESENTED BY GROUP Will Offer "Hamlet" And "A Doll's House" This Afternoon And Evening If I Were King" was presented last night by Frank McEntee and company from the Shakespeare playhouse of New York. The play is a fantastical romance dealing with the reign of Louis XI, and the war with the Bur- gundians. The limitations of num- bers in the company made it a rath- er difficult play to present satisfact- orily, especially in the last scene when the group was supposed to rep- resent the large group of the pop- ulace of Paris. Elsie Hedron Kearns as Katherine de Vaucelles gave a delightful inter- pretation of the character. Her voice is excellent, and herarticulation far surpasses that of the other players. It was very difficult at times to under- stand the players. This is probably due to the acoustics of University hall. The place is not adapted to the giving of plays and it must be diffi- cult for the players to overcomethis. The dramatic climaxes were given with more skill and more force than the rest of the performance. As in the performance of "Beyond the Horizon" the minor characters stood out in their interpretations. Thibaut d'Aussigny, Noel le Jolys, and Guy Tabario, gave characterizations of their small parts that were very satisfactory. The setting, which were furnished by silk curtains with a few pieces of properties, were well chosen and the necessity for further elaboration of scenery was not apparent. The cos- tumes were nicely picked and their colors showed up well in the lights that were used. This play is the sec- ond of the plays given by the com- pany. Hamlet will probably be the. best of the series, as this is a play in *hich Frank McEntee is especially good. "Hamlet", to be played this after- noon and "A Doll's House", by Ibsen this evening, will complete the pro- gram that the Shakespeare Playhouse company under the direction of Frank McEntee, have been giving. The plays are given under the auspices of the English department. Mr. Frank McEntee was for many years an actor with the original Ben Greet players, taking part in no less than 75 different Shakespearian roles during his association with that com- pany. Mr. McEntee has produced special Shakespearian performances with all-star casts attthe Fulton, Ply- mouth,and Cort Theaters in New York City. The New York Telegram said of this performance "Hamlethwas a remarkable performance for the his- trionicrability shown by Frank Mc Entee." "Frank McEntee, as Hamlet, honored all the promises of his high ability in Shakespearian roles,"ac- cording to the Pittsburg Dispatch. Ibsen's most popular play, "A Doll's House" will be given in the evening. The play permits of many dramatic situations, and the story is one of interest. This is the last of the play to be presnted by the company from the Shakespeare Playhouse. This is the third year that these play- ers have presented their talent to Ann Arbor audiences, and that their work is appreciated has been shown by the large audiences which have gathered to view the two performances which were given Thursday and Friday even- ing. girl was frightened into giving a name will come to college, though they have and it is certain she was wrong, but to work their way through." no matter-a man near by was not -_ sure of the congressman but he didi know the senators.
