Dr. Tannenbaum has been in Mexico for the last four or five years un- der the auspices of the Brookings institute, Washington, D. C., study- ing the conditions of the coun- try. "Political power in Mexico has passed in the last ten years from the large land-owner, the foreign investor, the army, and the poli- tician to the organized communi- ty," said Dr. Tannenbaum in enum- erating the resultant factors of the revolution. "When the Spanish came to Mexico, not as colonizers, but as conquerors, they found an ancient civilization which was bas- ed upon a system of small com- niunal villages where property be- longed, not to the individual, but to the group. The white man took possession of as much of this land as he could and enslaved its na- tive owners. The Indians resisted this intrusion, and for four hun- dred years, the struggle went on between the communal system and the plantation system, instituted by the Spanish wherein vast tracts of land and the native inhabitants were held in the power of a sin- gle man. The revolution put a definite check to this movement which was gradually crushing the native pop- ulation, which predominates over the foreign element considerably. At present, the population is mov- ing back from the private plan- tation to the old communal vil lage. Besides this basic result of the revolution, Dr. Tannenbaum point- ed to the sudden development of the Indian culture in the fields of art, literature, and music. Dr. Tannenbaum will lecture again at 5 o'clock this afternoon in Natural Science Auditorium on the subject, "The Influence of the Mexican Revolution on Private Property." Tryouts Will Be Held For Athletic Society Announcement of try-outs for eligibility to admission to Sigma Delta Psi, national honorary ath- letic fraternity was made late yes- terday afternoon by Paul R. Wash- ke, assistant director of intramural sports.-' The tryouts are open to everyone who is interested and will be held on Ferry Field Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoon from 3 until 5 o'clock.

Hobbs, head of the University Meteorological station at Mount Evans, Greenland, and head of the department of geology, be- fore a meeting of the Men's Educa- tional. club which met at 7 o'clock last night in the Union, laid the causes of the 'Untin Bowler's fail- ure to reach Greenland according to schedule to the fact that it had encountered fogs too far south on its course. Further North he said there would have been little or no fog and the giant Sikorsky sea-, plane would have reached its des- tination. Professor Hobbs again voiced the opinion which he has expressed, several times that t he overland route to Europe by way of the northern parts of British America, Baffin Bay, Greenland and the ex- treme northern Atlantic ocean was by far the safest route for airplanes contemplating flights to the con- tinent for commercial or passenger carrying reasons. The sea lanes, he explained tax the capacities of the airships to the utmost and it is impossible for them to carry a load and sufficient fuel for crossing the 3000 miles or more of the Atlantic. In crossing British America any plane that is equipped for both land and sea landing has nothing to fear. There are numerous lakes in the Wooded portions of Canada, and that country is no longer as' uninhabited as it once was. Tak- ing this route, the longest single hop over open water would be only 300 miles compared to the 3000 of the southern "shipping lane" route. The passage can be made almost allt the way with a brisk wind at the back due to a phenomena in Green- land which Dr. Hobbs personal-, ly investigated. That country is shaped like a huge dome over which surface winds flow outward and' about 3000 metres above this there are strong winds blowing inwardly. Upon reaching the center of these winds it is possible for the airships to drop from one current to the othet on the opposite side and so ers' at the fifth session of the Pub- lic Health institute of the Sum-' mer Session, which will be held on next Friday and Saturday. Professor McCollum who is an{ outstanding contributor to the sci-, ence of nutrition will deliver two lectures on the most recent ad-j vances made in that field at 4 o'- clock each afternoon of the sessionI in the West Medical building. He is the author of "Our Newer Knowl- edge of Nutrition." Dr. Fisk, one of the country's; foremost authorities on life exten- sion work, will likewise deliver two lectures. They will be given at 31 o'clock, Friday and Saturday after- noons, in the West Medical build-; ing. Dr. Fisk has written much material upon the subject of the value of periodic health examina- tions as a health procedure, two of' his best known books being "Hov to Live" and "Health Building and Life Extension." Professor R. W. Bunting, profes- sor of dental histology and patho- logy will outline the year's pro-I gress in oral hygiene with partic- singles witn VanRyan and Allison playing in the doubles. The . brilliant combination of VanRyan, the dashing captain of Princeton's tennis team last year and Allison, former intercollegiate champion from the University of Texas had been considered an al- most certain choice for the Davis Cup assignment since they won the classic British doubles crown, but the selection of Tilden and Hunter came as a surprise. So far as the inter-zone final is concerned, the latest move puts George Lott of Chi- cago and John Hennessey of Ind- ianapolis, entirely out of the pic- ture. There still is a chance for them to see action against France in the challenge round, provided their mates can eliminate the Teu- tons. This decision battle is sched- uled for July 26, 27°or 28 at Paris. In deciding in favor of Tilden and Hunter as the team-mates of VanRyan and Allison the commit- tee cast its lot on the side of ex- perience.

STUDY ROOM PROVES INNOVATION Play Opens Tomorrow 0 The open shelf study room, an innovation in library methods, has just recently been opened on the ground floor of the main library.f The new study room will be admin- istered after the manner of the graduate reading rooms, where anyone may enter and help one- self to any book without the inter- vention of a library attendant. Professors giving courses requir- ing aconsiderable amount of out- side reading may place the books in the study room where they will be accessible to the student at any time. The assembling of the books has only just begun so that books for only six or eight courses are tnn flflf n flflt 4-f a new trend in library methods which has become apparent during the last few years. The experi- ment was first tried at the Uni- versity of California'where its suc- cess led to its adoption at other large universities throughout the country. At California the idea has been developed much farther than anywhere else. Here all of the study rooms have been merged into a single large room administered' after this fashion.
