PRICE FIVE CENTS PIRATES OF OLD MADE THEIR SANCTUARY 'IN JAMAICA, SAYS. DAVIS PORT ROYAL ENTERED AS MAIN STRONGHOLD OF EARLY BUCCANEERS RID ISLANDOF REPTILES Talks Of General Utilization, Output Oi Island In Lecture Delivered Yesterday Afternoon Illustrating his lecture with a num- ber of slides and an exhibit of water color sketches, Prof, Bradley M. Davis of the botany department spoke on "Jamaica" yesterday afternoon in Nat- ural Science auditorium. "The early history of Jamaica," said Professor Davis, "like that of all the Caribbean region, is of peculiar inter- est because of the deeds of the but- caneers who made it their headquar- ters for centuries. One of the most daring and cruel of these was Cap- tain Morgan, who, however, settled down in Jamaica in his later years, and ended his days as lieutenant-gov- ernor of the island. Kingston Chief City "Port Royal, the chief pirate strong- hold, was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692; since then Kingston has been the chief city. After a hundred and fifty years of Spanish domination, the island was taken by the English in 1655, and they have held it ever since. "Most of the products of Jamanica are from plants not originally native to the island," the speaker continued. "The English introduced breadfruit, yams, ginger, citrous fruits, mangoes, the cocoanut palm, and the banana. "Of recent years cattle-raising has become an important industry, and with it has come a plague of ticks, which are very numerous and trouble- some. They are kept somewhat in: check by dipping the cattle, which is done by law every two weeks. "Only one. important animal has been introduced from the outside- the mongoose, brought in from India to kill rats on the island. It has be-' come a worse pest that the rats, how- ever, although it has succeeded in en- tirely eliminating snakes. Jamaica today, like Ireland, is free from snakes. Base Rock Igneous "Interesting native plants include the mahogany tree, the cotton-silk tree (so called because its seeds have . cottony fibre), the logwood tree with its fluted trunk, the guave tree, and the pimento or all-spice tree. "The base of the island is igenous rock, with an upper layer of lime- stone. There are two regions of high altitude in the island-the cockpit country, so called because the lime- stone, eroded by the frequent rains, forms deep pits in the ground, and the Blue mountains. St. Anne's bay, where Columbus landed on his fourth voy- age. "There are 'no color castes in Jamaica-principally because there are so many shades of color that they defy classification. The blacker Ne- groes, however, form a sort of peas- ant class; they work only three days out of the week, enjoying themselves the rest of the time. Slavery was abolished in the island in 1838. Since then some East Indian and Chidese laborers have been brought in.

Robins, pastor of First Unitarian church the past nine years, has resigned to accept a position as! professor of philosophy at Lombard college, Galesburg, Ill., according to an announcement made today. His resignation will be effective Septem- ber 1 and he will assume his duties on the Lombard faculty at the open- ing of the fall term. The local church is closed for the summer months and will be opened September 23, although it is not ex- pected that Dr. Robins' successor will have been chosen by that time. Before coming to Ann Arbor in March, 1919, as pastor of Unitarian church, Dr. Robins had been minister of First Parish church at Kingston, Mass., for eight years. During the war, he was in service at Camp De- vens, Mass., and for nine months served as captain in the army.

It was a quiet home coming, the death of Mrs. Hoover's father, C.

Within a few hours after they reached their home in the rolling hills overlooking the University Campus, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover attended the fu- neral service for Mr. Henry at Stan- ford Chapel. The ceremony - was conducted by Dr. A. T. Murray, a Quaker. Elder, in the presence of only the family and immediate friends.

Maddox Talks Over Issues In Political Race For Presidency "Smith and Hoover forces will be more or less evenly matched in the approaching election struggle," stat- ed Mr. William E. Maddox, of the p- litical science department, in an in- terview yesterday morning, "Many changes are taking place in the arrangement of the forces of theI two parties. The western farmers, for example, are shifting their al- legiance to the Democrats, and, on the others hand, the recently exposed dis- affection of the southern Democrats would seem to indicate a gain in that section for the Republicans, Wheth- er these two changes will counter- balance one another is a question, but, if that should be the case, the nor- mal voting strength of the two parties will be little changed,' "Just what the effect of a Dem- ocratic victory In the election would be is problematical," Mr. Maddox de- dared. "It is very possible that there would be .a decrease in prosperity and business activity in the country dune not to the policies or practices of the new administration, but to a lack of faith on the part of the people at large in the ability and sincerity of the party itself, This feeling has been created by the internal Squab- bling and antagonism thtat has char- acterized the opposition party' in re-v cent years." Describes Candidates; Mr. Maddox expressed the greatest admiration for both Smith and Hoo- ver. "The Republican nominee is a man of the greatest ability and inte- grity, and one that will work for the best interests of the people," he said. "Smith also is an excellent can- didate, an able politician and diplo- matist, and certainly a man of presi- dential caliber." "In my opinion, the Republican platform offers just as much in the way of farm relief as does the Demo- cratic," he continued, "The program drawn up at Houston merely has a more favorable sound. It is very pro- bable that Hoover will ome out with a strong statement in favor of the farmers in his nomination acceptance speech. Smith, of course, is plian- ning in his campaign to make a strong bid for the support of the West, and farm relief pronises to be one of the big points in the struggle," Big Business Has Part "Big business is to have its part in in the campaign also," the political scientist announced. "The Republicans have always been called the party of big business, and have upheld the tradition with pro- tective tariffs and a certain amount of favoritism, of Raskob to the chairmanship of the national committee and of several other business men to positions of great political influence, it would seem that the Democrats are follow- ing suit. This change is probably due to the fact tht the northern and eastern Democrats are now in power, and are expressing their natural Sap- port of industry." Capt. Frederick C. Melville Of Lynn, Mass., has been cho'sen by C3mm. Richard E. Byrd as skipper of the Samson, base ship that will be utilized by the party on the South Pole dash. The party will probably leave next month.

On the whole the program for Freshmen Week is the same for both men and women, although a few sup- plementary features for the women have been planned, according to Miss Beatrice Johnson, adviser of women, who has charge of the social side' of the women's program. Professor William A. Frayer of the History De- partment is chairman of the Fresh- men Week Committee. Monday, September 17 at 3:15 in the afternoon a talk on "How to Study" will be given by Professor Charles S. Berry of the Education School. It is hoped that freshmen will be taught to grasp their work from the begin- ning by having them learn to take notes and to use library books. On Tuesday at 4:00 in the afternoon the women will meet at Palmer Field and the women's Athletic Building for sports and games. Wednesday night at 8:00 a new feature will be attempt- ed. Several prominent speakers will present their ideas on different types of work women may follow, and each one will give his own interpretation of the opportunities for women in her own narticular field. Friday afternoons there will be a series of round table discussion groups to talk over the ideas which were presented on Wednesday night Specialists in each field will be pres- ent to answer questions. Friday night a formal reception will be given in Barbour Gymnasium. At this reception the freshmen women will have an opportunity to meet President Clarence Cook Little, the respective Deans of the University, and the Advisers of Women. Plans are also being made. for the faculty men and women to be present. LITTLE TO SPEAK BEFORE STUDENTS President C. C.
