Flashing the same speed that gave him the 100 meter victory two days ago, the curly haired youth from Van- couvrl staged a whirlwind spurt on a rain soaked track to win the 200 meters from the best America, Eng- land, and Germany could produce. Blow To U. . Williams, through his sensational sweep, registered the first Olympic sprint doubles ! since the American Ralph Traice turned the trick in 1912, and dealt another stunning blow to Uncle Sam's trackmen who were shut out in the dashes for the first time in twenty years of .Olympic competi- tion. To make the American route on the red cindered Olympic oval worse, S. J. Atkinson, rangy South African, emarged from the path in a spectacu- lar 110 meter hurdle final to beat the American trio of Stephen Anderson, John Collier and Layton Dye and equalled the world's record of 14 4-5 seconds. Hauser Sets Record In the Olympic record breaking per- formances, Hauser repeated his 1924 dscus throwing triumph with two other Americans, Jim Corson and John Anderson, placing third and fifth while Carr stopped the pole-vaulting field in which the Yankees took four of the first five places. The Olympic polet vault was almost exclusively an American affair as had been expected. ,Carr with 4.20 meters or 13 feet 9.6 inches, and William Brodgmuzller with 4.10 meters or 13 feet and 5 7-16 inches, battled it out for first place in a great duel.

M. R. KEYWORTH TO SPEAK TODAY M. R. Keyworth, Superintendent of Schools of Hamtramck and a non- resident professor in the School of Education for the summer, will de- liver an address on "The Problem of Public Relations" at the Educational Conference in the auditorium of Uni- versity High school today at 4 p. m. MC MURRY SAYS VITAL PROBLEM PRESENTED BY TAX DELINQUENCYt GEOGRAPHY PROFESSOR TELLS OF CONDITIONS AMONG CUT-OVER LANDS HURTS SMALL LOCALITIES Avers Maps Should Be Specific Enough To Show Degree Of Delinquency, Lands To Be Redeemed "It is clear that our four and a half million dollar tax delinquency is one of the most serious problems with which the state is faced, but further than that we know little that is definite and specific about the actual conditions that cause it," de- clared Prof. Kenneth C. McMurry of the geography department in his lec- ture on "Tax ;Delinquency in the Cut- Over Lands of Northern Michigan" yesterday afternoon in Natural Sci- ence auditorium. We know a little about its distri- bution and its relationship to the kind of land with which it occurs, but we ought to know also what lands are likely to be redeemed and the exact degree of tax delinquency-our maps should be not only general but speci- fic. State Revenues Decrased "State revenues are somewhat de- creased by delinquency, of course, but the greatest burden falls upon the local governments," the speaker con- tinued. "Many counties are receiving more money from the state than they give to It. When counties include (both farm land and cut-over land that is delinquent, the farm land has to bear all the burden of taxation, and as a result there is an alarming increase in bankruptcy." Illustrates Lecture A number of maps and charts were shown to illustrate the lecture. Two maps showing increase in improved agricultural land from 1890 to 1910 indicated that although before 1890 only the southern half of the south- ern peninsula had been developed ex- tensively progress since had included the lake coast of the southern pen- insula and a few counties in the north. Present figures gathered by the Land Economics Survey of the state department of conservation show, however, that 50 to 70 per cent of the southern peninsula is improved for agriculture, while in the northern peninsula the average is from one to three per cent. FLLING GATE KILLS NINE 1NJURES'MANY (By Associated Press) ST. CATHERINE'S, ONTARIO, Aug. 1-A huge. construction crane falter- ed today and dropped ah500 ton steel gate for a lock into the excavation of the Welland Canal at Thorold, crushing to death at least nine work- men and injuring or killing about 30 others. Approximately 41 men were in the vicinity when the accident occured just before noon, and none apparen- "ly escaped death or injury. Rescue workers immediately attacked the' mass of tangled steel and debris in an effort to reach the cranemen, riv- eters, helpers and groundmen who were trapped in the excavation as the gate fell. Two cranes were raising the gate. One held, but the second slipped and dropped the gate into a steel fabric on one side of the lock. Identification of the victims was difficult, some of them being crushed almost beyond recognition. BASEBALL SCORES (By Associated Press) American League Detroit 10, Washington 5.

DAIL TO CONDUCT 1PRESIDENTIAL 'EXPERIMENTAL__POLL O'N CAMPUS Next Wednesday Named As Date For Straw Vote To Learn Strength Of LeadingCandidates TO CLASS VOTERS INTO THREE GROUPS In an endeavor to ascertain the political judgment on the cam- pus this summer in regard to candidates in the present Presidential campaign, The Summer Daily will hold an experimental poll on next Wednesday, it was announced yesterday. All arrangements for the poll will be in the hands of the publication, and complete pro- tection will be afforded from any outside organizations. It is felt at this time that a considerable amount of interest regarding the Republican and Democratic candidates for the presi- dency exists among the students and faculty this summer, and that opinions as will be voiced next Wednesday are formed as the result of true knowledge of facts and in- tellectual consideration. For this reason the editors of The Summer Daily feel that such interest, espe- cially in view of the fact that this__ is a presidential year, warrants an Prof. C. 0. Davis Points To Fact That experimental poll to sound out the They Are Ideal Testing Schools, strength of the various candidates. Givepi Right Preparation Will Omit Issues Unlike the ballots in the Presi- BELIEVES RADIO USEFUL denial Poll conducted by The Daily___ last March, those now being .printed "Junior Colleges are the country's for the surv on Wednesdav will t- tempt only to ascertain the strength of the Presidential candidates. That is, various campaign issues, such as prohibition and entry into the World Court, which were included in the previous poll, will be omitted. Voters will be classed as male and female and then, again, into the three divisions of faculty, graduate students and' regular Summer Ses- sion students. In this way the com- parative opinions of each group can be learned. A sample ballot will be published on Wednesday mornings Issue of The Daily, the day the poll is to be conducted. Detailed arrangements for conduct- ing the poll will be announced in The Daily of Tuesday morning, al- though they will follow the course of the usual campus elections and the previous poll. Tables will be placed at two or three of the points of advantage on the campus and members of the staff of the publica- tion will be in charge of the ballot- ing. Must Sign Name In order to effect a system of checking to determine the eligibility of voters and to prevent duplication, it will be necessary for each voter to sign his or her name, address and class. No publicity will be given to any of the individual results obtain- ed in this way. Ballots will be count- ed by members iof the staff of the publication at the conclusion of vot- ing late Wednesday afternoon and the results will be published in Thursday morning's paper. great opportunity schools designed to incite ambitions in the pupils, and to prepare them for life in the world in which they will live after they leve their lessons," stated Prof. C. 0. Davis, of the School of Education, in a lecture i on "The Junior High School Problem In The Smaller Dis- tricts," in the auditorium of the Uni- versity High school' yesterday after- noon. "They are ideal places for testing out the abilities of young people, and for introducing them to great and varied experience of the types that they will find confronting them in after life. In fact, the whole pur- pose of the Junior Highi School might be summed up as being the creation of outlooks." Professor Davis began his lecture by clearly defining what he meant by a Junior High School and what he meant by a snall district. "This new type of high school is, as defined by the North Central Association, a grouping of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades in a separate division from the rest of the school system;" he said. The small district he char- acterized as that haing 2,500 popula- tion or less, but added that it was perhaps better to define the small district as that one having a high school of 500 pupils or less. "The main source of all trouble in maintaining a satisfactory school sys- tem in a small community is the lack of finances," he went on. "However there are many parts of the junior college system that can be establish- ed at not too large a cost." Among other things the speaker recommend- ed a program of studies comprising both the ordinary curriculum of the grades that go to make up the Jun- high school and also a number of sub- jects, such as business' arithemtic, fine arts courses, nature study, and music appreciation courses, that would be a help and an inspiration to the student all through life. "I think that every school should 1 have a motion picture machine, and, if possible a radio also," he conclud- ed. "They are strong aids in keeping up the spirit of the institution and in giving the pupils clear, interesting instruction." WILL TALK TODAY ON SPEECH WORK "The History of the Teaching of Public Speaking" will be the subject of an address by Professor Emeritus William C. Trueblood, for many years head of the speech department, in the Adelphi room on the fourth floor of Angell hall this morning at 9 o'clock. The lecture is designed especially for advanced students in public speaking, although the public is wel- THREE ARTISTS HEARD IN LAST FACULTY CONCERT OF SEASON WOMEN MAKE BETTER TEACHERS THAN DO MEN, SAYS DR. SOLVE "Sensitiveness to the reactions of others is a fundamental requisite of a teacher," declared Dr. Norma D. Solve, instructor in education. "A second requirement is adaptability. Women have these characteristics to a much greater degree than men and consequently are better suited for teaching as a rule. A third factor in their favor is that generally they are much more tactful. This is of great- est importance when dealing with children, especially in the adolescent stage. "There is a wonderful opportunity for women in high school teaching," Dr. Solve continued. "Men have drop- ped out to a great extent. College work, administrative positions, and business affairs have attracted them' away from this field, leaving it open. chance.' It is an opportunity to suc- ceed in a professional field. "In teaching, as in most other fields, women have to work harder than men to succeed. This is partly because recognition and advancement come from adniinistrative officers who are men and naturally inclined to favor other men. More and more' administrators are coming to realize the value of a mixed staff and will' try to have both men and women for balance. All men or all women makes for lopsidedness. "As students, women are much more consistent than men. They are reliable, quick witted, and swift to sense the point but seldom persue it. Men are more original and have a force which atones for their lack of consistency in their work. They will trace matters to logical conclu- A Review, by Lyle R. Chubb Whether summer students appre- ciate what the School of Music has done for them this summer in the way of providing music of the finest type in a town where the ordinary summer level scarcely rises above rankest jazz, I don't know; but last night's concert, which is reported to be the last of the season, hereby gets a word of gratitude. Earl V. Moore at the organ was the accomplished artist of the eve- ning. His opening performance of the Allegro from Widor's sixth sym- phony for organ was marked by mas- terly registration and sympathetic coloring in the majestic development of the first theme, and in the final passage where the two themes were blended. In the Bach choral with its appealing use of the vox humana and in Bonnet's "Romance sans Paroles" with its soft string and flute melody, Mr. Moore showed his mastery of the quiet and subdued side of his instru- ment. His own composition, "Reverie at Twilight," was distinguished for its graceful use of the chimes. Miss Thelma Lewis has a fine clear voi~ ice andPzod technicl nl unn't. She shows distinct promise, and even a good measure of actual achieve- ment. Anyone who can sing Scarlat- ti and Mozart as she did last night, with excellent portamento and vol- ume control, is worthy of hearty com- mendation. I particularly enjoyed her rendition of Richard Hageman's set- ting to Tagore's charmingly playful poem, "At the Well." Her encore was Cyril Scott's "The Unforeseen." Her only fault is a slight immaturity. The same fault to a greater; degree was noticeable in the playing of Miss Emily Mutter, particularly in the double stop passages in the Andante of her concerto and in the thinness of some of her notes. Her love for her art, however, will in time make her win out, I am sure. Her encore was Nreisler's "Caprice Viennois."
