ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WFDNESDAY JULY 4, 1928, PRICE FIVE CENTS , PROBLEM OF BUBONICI PLAGUE IS DESCRIBED BY DR' W._DOORENBOS "BACTERIOPHAGE AND BUBONIC PLAGUE" I$ SUBJECT OF WORLD AUTHORITY SLIDES SHOW CONDITIONS Speaker Tells Of Work Of Quarantine Board In Keeping Diseases Of Orient From Europe , While the Bacteriophage has a tendency to produce resistence to the Bubonic Pliague, yet it is highly pos- sible that some method of immunizing rats will have to be found before it will be possible to prevent the de- vastating plagues that sweep the oriental countries," said Dr. W. Door- enbos, Chief of the Bacteriological Service of the International Quaran- tine Board of Egypt, at the Suez, in his lecture "Experiences with the Bacterlosphage and Bubonic Plague in, Java and the Suez," delivered at the Natural Science auditorium Tuesdiay afternoon. Dr. Doo'renbos illustrated his lec- ture with a number of slides depicting the various kinds of dwellings, found in Egypt and showing how different types are more conducive to the spread of a pleague epidemic than are others. He stated that those dwellings made of mud or itone and using the earth for a floor. are in- fested with rats that live in the walls and carry the Bubonic Plague baccilli. People living on the ground floor are In a more dangerous position than those living ustairs, investigations show. Fleas Spread Disease While man may contract the dift- ease from actual contact with an in- fected pat, the most common cause for the spread of an epidemic is by fleas. These feed on the rats and then bite human beings. "One of the difficulties of control is caused by the fact that there are sev- eral types of fleas," said Dr. Dooren- bos. "Some carry the disease only between rats, while others carry it from rats to man. Still another typ- carries the germs between human be- ings. The experiments have neces- sarily included all types." When asked how he kept from be- ing bitten by the fleas himself, Dr. Doorenbos explained that in the day- time he protected himself as well as! possible by puttees and gloves. At night a lighted lamp was placed in a shallow dish .containing liquid and i the morning the dish contained sev- eral hundred dead fleas. "Of course," he said, "sometimes I was bitten," and he gave the impression that then it was a matter of. luck not to contract the disease. No General Prevention Stating that it was impossible tr give any general rule for the preven- tion of the plague, the famous author- ity went on to explain this was due to the fact that conditions in different towns comparatively close together were so widely variant. "Even a change in, temperature," he said, "may stop an epidemic, and experi- ments show that after a time the rats! may become immune and thus the plague will die down." "The purpose of the Quarantine 'Board," said Dr. 'Doorenbos, when asked to explain it, "is to prevent the spread into Europe of the various oriental diseases. These come through the Suez Canal by boat and. strict precaution have to be taken to pre- vent the spread to other countries," WOMEN OFFERED CLASSES IN GOLF Under the direction of Miss McCor- rnck, the. University is offering wo- men's golf classes for the students ;n the summer session.

RECORDS FALL IN OLYMPIC TRIALS (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, July 3-To the tune of two new world's records, per- formers in the final tryouts for places on the Olympic team, got away to a flying start at Philadelphia's New Mu- nicipal Stadium today. Within a single eventful period of five minutes, F. Morgan Taylor, I111- nois Athletic Club, Olympic Champ- ion and Frank Cuhel, of the Univer- sity of Iowa, cracked the world's re- cord in winning their semi-final heats in the 400 meter hurdles. Taylor beat the standard set at 53:3-4 seconds by Szen Pettersson, of Sweden in 1925, by one fifth of a second and Cuhel in a heat a few minutes later knocked one fifth of a second off the time the blonde Illinois flyer had set. On his way to his new record Tay- lor gained sweet victory over one of his leading rivals, Stocky Johnnie Gibson, of the Bloomfield, New Jersey, Catholic Lyceum, who beat him in winning the National 440 hurdle championship. MISS ADAMS C{I PROMINENT PEOPLE LISTED AS H PERCETAGE OF - PATRONS OF ROCKFORD PLAYERS nti tr * i l it ir n n ruffll Ei~n ri i n nnn i UN ITALIAN PAINILSH OF RENAISSANCE AGE WORK OF FRA ANGELICO FRA FILIPPO LIPPI DESCRIBED AND1 CHARACTERIZES PERIOD Represents Mingling Of Spiritual And Material Elements By Two Typical Men Characterizing the Renaissance a a period intricate in the extreme and marked by' violent contrasts,' Mi'ss Adelaide A. Adams, of .the departmentI of fine arts, speaking yesterday after- noon in Natural Science auditorium on "Renaissance Italian Painting," pointed outs three outstanding ele- ments in Renaissance culture: the spiritual element, which derived from the Middle Age's and was therefore conservative rather than progressiv the intellectual element, shown by scientific and technical progress; sand the physical or material element, which fostered the reawakened inter. est in the beauty of man and of naf ture. Miss Adams selected two pain' Fra Angelico and FN Filippo ? both of whom were monks living i' Florence in the early fifteenth cen- tury and who had the same patron, Cosimo dei Medici, but whose lives and works were completely different to typify two of these three main cur rents in art. Describes Fra Angelico "Vra Angelico;" Said Miss Adams "was 'a Dominican friar who wen, with his fellow-monks into exile for fifteen years in the hill-country of Umbria, the part of Italy where the people display the greatest religious ecstasy and enthusiasm. Here doubt less his natural ,pure devotion was in- tensified to the lofty spirituality that shines forth in his paintings. "Fra Filippo Lippi, on the other band, was the son of a butcher; was left an orphan at an early ag and roamed the streets of the poo quarter of Florence until ado'pted the age of 8 by the Carmelite order. He was brought up to be a priest, bu the monkish habit was hardly con gruous with his love for the world his warm interest in humanity, a when he later eloped with a nun, th beautiful Lucrezia Buti, the Pope recognizing his genius, released th' trom their vows and permitted then to marry."~ Ilustrates With Slides Miss Adams went on to show by means of slides the characteristics of the work of the two men. The "Madonna and Child" of Angelico wa highly imaginative, distinguished by softness and purity of tone, while the painting by Lippo Lippi on the san subject wa's radically different: Mary was a Florentine maiden, the infan' Jesus a husky baby, and the angels typical gutter-snipes with wings at- tached. "Fra 'Lippo Lippi's art, said Miss Adams, "is notable for its em- phasis on common figures rather than on religious ones; it verges on the genre painting of the Dutch school." Fra 'Lippo's "Coronation of the Virgin" was characterized in the words of Professori Mather of Prince- ton as -very like " a scene at the con- mencement of a young ladies' aca- demy, with God the Father giving the honor diploma to Mary, and the angels the other Sweet girl graduates waiting their turn."j HAWLEY TO TALK ON' HOME HEATING "Heating the Home" will be the title of a lecture by Prof. Ransom S.

BUT FIVE STUDENTS FAIL TO SURVIVE TESTS TRIED ON ALL GRADUATES FIRST TIMEGIVEN HERE Examination Was Test Of Judgment And Ability To Think, Says Dr. Cyrus C. Sturgis But five students of the 210 who wrote the comprehensive examination given graduating medical students failed to pass, it was stated today by Dr. Cyrus, C. Sturgis, chairman of the sub-committee which handled the mechanics connected with the exam- ination. And though this number is surprisingly low, the fact that the ex- amination was the first ever given here being considered, it is believed likely by Dr, Sturgis that in years to come all students will pass the ex. amination. "The examination wasn't a pure test .of memory, but rather a test of the student's judgment and his ability to think," stated Dr. Sturgis today. "Two questions were given and four hours Sallowedfor discussion of each. The discussion of the twn th atita nr n- iIN MEDICAL SCHOOL y) a{ , t ~AA qL *t ' o ua * pr- vided a test for the student's know- ledge of vrtually all the courses which he completed during his four years in l the medicl school." Test Correlaes Knowledge The test, according to Dr. Sturgis. permitted;the student to correlate his knowledge of the work he hMI COr- pleted, and provided the faculty with necessary information- relatve oA the t student's fitness to practice. Th* men who failed will be allowed to take the examination again, after the expiration of six months. "We don't want to let loose of them until we're sure they kn'ow suffiolent about medicine to practice it," de- clared Dr. Sturgis. "The need of such knowledge is evident, when it is con- sidered that upon the judgment of these men and women will hang hu- man lives." Dr. Sturgis pointed out that efforts of the committee govring these examinations will be directed toward having those unfit to practic medi- cine weeded out of the medical schol during their first or second year of registration. This may be accomplish- ed, he explained, by more strict grad- ing. PLAYERS TO GIVE FRANCE'S FARCE OF MARITAL LIFE Following their custom of giving one Frnch comedy a season, the Rockford players will open a series of four performances of Anatole France's farce, "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" as their third bill tomorrow night. The piece will be repeated Friday night, and be given matinee and evening performances Saturday. Robert Henderson, director of the company, promises an elaborate pro- duction. Alice Hogan will collabor- ate with the troupe in the dances for which the comedy calls, while the whole cast has been working, on the chorus steps which come at the end of each act. France drew his material for the play from Rabelais, and has written the piece after the medieval manner. The story deals with a judge who, as" the title indicates, married a dum woman. To his great joy a doctor prpmises to cure her of her affliction, and-succeeds. Then the wife talks so much that the worthy judge wishes her dumb once more. Katherine Wick' Kelly will 'have the role of Cath- erine, the wife, Henderson playing op- posite her as Master Botal. Roman Bohnen is cast as the doctor. "So This Is London" will be given its final performance by the players at 8:15 tonight. Charles Wakefield Cadman is corn- posinig a new symphonic poem enttled "Dick Whittington." A woman, Anbelica Mendoza, has been nominated. for the presidency of Argentina by the Workers' party.
