PRES AwG. RUTH YEN
ATTENDS INFORMALI
DANCEAT, LEAGUET
More Than 500 Students Gather
to Welcome Newly Returned
President.;
CLOSES SOCIAL SEASON
Music for Dancing Is Furnished
by Lundquist's Orchestra
in Ballroom.
President Alexander Grant Ruth-
ven and Mrs. Ruthven were guests
of honor at the open house which
was held in the parlors of the
Women's league last night. The af-
fair, which was attended by more
than 500 students, was an informal'
dance and bridge party, and was
sponsored by the undergraduate
committee of the Summer league.
President Ruthven and M r s.
Ruthven arrived shortly before nine
o'clock and remained throughout
the rest of the evening. With them
on the list of chaperones were Dean
Edward H. Kraus, and Mrs. Kraus;
Miss Lucy Elliot; Mr. Carlton F.
Wells, and Mrs. Wells; and Miss
Frances Seidel.
Lundquist Orchestra Plays.,
The reception began at 9 o'clock,
and ended at midnight.
The guests danced to the music
of Kenneth Lundquist and his Am-
bassador orchestra. Refreshments
were served, and a large number of
guests played bridge in the Grand
Rapids room.
Twenty undergraduate women
acted as hostesses. They were head-
ed by Margaret Morin, '31, social
chairman of the Summer league,'
in whose charge the arrangements
for the party were placed. Among
those on the committee of hostess-
es were Isabell Rayen, '31, summer
president of the Women's league,
Virginia McMullen, '32, and Jessie
Winchell, '31.
Reception Is Informal
The reception was not formal, as
was that sponsored by the Summer
Session,,which was held earlier in'
the year. The guests were received
by the chaperones informally, rath-
er than by a receiving line. Last
night was the only appearance of
President Ruthven at a University
function during the current Sum-
mer Session, and was the final ma-'
jor social event of the season.
The guests who thronged the'
ballroom, parlors, and corridors of'
the league building were dressed in
clothing suitable to the intense3
heat. Light blues, yellows, and
whites predominated among the'
dresses of the women; the men fa-'
vored the usual semi-formal light
flannels.

dent Hoover today called a White
House conference of governors ofJ

the situation to be in the shortage'
of animal feed crop in states of the
middle and far northwest and ex-
tending as far as the Atlantic sea-
board. No alarm was felif over the
Nation's food supply.

Home Room Teachers Play Big
Part in Health Education,
Says Miss Haskins.
INSTITUTES END TODAY
Dr. T. S. Langford, Washtenaw
Medical Society, to Address,
Last Session.
"Home room teachers have a ma-1
jor part to play in health educa-
tion," emphasised Miss Ida M. Has-,
kins, director of Health education,
Mansfield Public schools, Ohio, in;
an address before the Special;
Health Institute held yesterday.
"Health education is a solving of
problems," Miss Haskin said, and
advocated the project method of
teaching. "The school must provide
the environment and the facilities
of keeping clean and healthy be-
fore it can expect the children to
live healthfully," she said.
"The child must be persuaded to I
feel the urge to make the neces-
sary changes in health habits and
building a child day program
around health habits has been
found one interesting method of
doing this," Miss Haskin said.
Charts Aid Teaching
Charts made by children from
the first to the sixth grade dealing
with health habits covering the en-
tire day, and charts recording the
progress in weight and growth
and charts made by children on the
care of teeth, radio talks prepared
by children for the imaginary sta-
tion K.Y.T.C. (Keep Your Teeth
Clean), charts on the energy value
of foods, on vitamins, on food min-
erals and various allied subjects
formed the exhibits of the materi-
al of health education.
First Grade Childrens' drawingsl
of cows to impress the healthful-
ness of milk, Miss Haskin said,'
"were more effective as health edu-
cation than any amount of direct
question and answer method of
teaching."
T. S. Langford Speaks

the Washtenaw Medical Society,
spoke on the methods of eye ex-
amination and will address the In-

"Who does not talk of prohibi-
tion today? Why should you pick
on me?" said Mr. Chas. W. Melick,
1333 Washtenaw Ave., in an inter-
view yesterday. Mr. Melick is a re-
tired Prohibition agent and, like
the retired minister or business-
man, knows the inside story and
is willing to talk.
"Prohibition enforcement costs
the Federal Government a great
deal ,of money, does it not?" was
the first question asked. "No," Me-
lick replied, "it has netted the gov-
ernment 200 million dollars in the
last ten years to enforce this law.
The fines imposed and the sale of
the property confiscated more than
pays for the salaries and other
costs of enforcement."
"What is the present state of
liquor traffic on Rum Row and
smuggling from Canada?" Melick;

was asked. "The bootleggers para-
dise," said Melick, "consisting of
nearly a mile of one and two story
houses on the water-front of Ecorse
and Wyandotte used for blind pigs
and storage of liquor, with loading
platforms extending into the river,
thrived before the Canadian export
liquor law went into effect last May.
Since then rum running has prac-
tically ceased on the Detroit river."
"Has Federal enforcement in-
creased in efficiency during the
present administration?" he was
asked. "Positively," declared Melick,
somewhat vehemently and feeling-
ly, "law enforcement has been
greatly aided by the Unified Border
Patrol Bill. Experience of Federal
agents has helped by bringing into
the court 'iron clad' cases, with
date, hour, circumstances and with
labels on' every bottle of evidence,
and also by avoiding the loop-hole
of the objection of 'illegal search .
"Do you favor, repeal, modifica-
tion or strict enforcement of the
prohibition laws?" Melick was ask-
ed. "In the fact of fact there can
be little argument in favor of any
change in the prohibition laws,"
Melick said. "If people want hard
drinks for home consumption they

HANKOW, Aug. 8.-A blow from
within-mutiny of a portion of the
Hankow garrison-struck the Na-
tionalist government today as pre-
parations were rushed to defend
the city against an expected attack
of converging Communist bands.
The mutineers, who included the
Commander's bodyguards, were
promptly disarmed, but the defend-
ing force was weakened and the
situation was considered critical.
Strict military discipline prevailed

Fingerle Declares Present Hard Water Supply
Increases Overhead in Restaurant Operation

Editor's Note-This is the first of a series
of interviews on the subject of the city
water system and the feasibility of in-
stalling a new supply plant. The articles
will appear from time to time throughout
the remainder of the Summer Session.
Ann Arbor water, as suplied by
the City water works, is not only
in bad taste, but has proved to be
a costly necessity to Ann Arbor

Mike Fingerle, manager of the
Fingerle restaurants, yesterday
stated that damage caused to
plumbing fixtures in his three es-
tablishments in which city water
is used, amounts to between $350
and $400 yearly in replacement
costs.
Copper coils used in the four
water heaters owned by the Fin-
gerle restaurants rapidly become
corroded wit hlime deposits from
the exceptionally hard water and
must be completely cleaned out
every two weeks, he said. After on-
ly a few cleanings, the coils become
too thin for further use, necessi-
tating replacement, which in the
course of a year, Fingerle explained,#
becomes a costly process.
"River water, when properly fil-
tered, would not have the same
damaging effects," he said, "but
