Hospitals Now Cost Three
Billions Yearly, Doctor
Points out in Talk
Showing ttlat the science of medi-
cal care As closely associated with the
economic and social structure, Dr.
Nathan Sinai, professor of hygiene
and public ,health in a lecture at
Natural Science auditorium yester-
day described the changes in medical
technique which came about through
the influence of the industrial revo-
lution.
"In early America," Dr. Sinai said,
"society was chiefly agricultural. The
people. were free artisans and manu-
facturing as done in and near the
forests. There was no tiird party
between the producer and the con-
sumer. The science of medicine was
embodied in the individual country
doctor. Hi' 'equipment was simple
and his education very informal.
Social Structure Changes
"The social structure, "rofessor
Sinai continued," shows itself to be
very fluid-like in its ability to change
very rapidly. Free land in the United
States disappeared and with the rise
of industry came a division of labor.
Instead of doing the whole job, tlie.
American workman now does but
one inch of the job. The chance to
go into business for himself disap-
peared."
Concurrently with this change in
labor methods, Dr. Sinai said, came
a change in medicine, a tendency
toward specialization-
Research More Minute
"Specialization," he said, "can't
stop ;,as long as research becomes
more and more minute. The hospital
which was once.the house of death
has become the house of life anda
representsaa yearly investment in the
United States and three billion dol-
lars. Around the old country physi-
cian have ariseri the trained nurse,
the X-ray laboratory and the bac-
teriological researcl."
With all this equipment, however,
Dr. Sinai found that the public still
lacked the medical care it needed
because of the unequal distribution,
of wealth.
Dr. Sinai saw hope, however, in
the studies being made by a na7
tional group of fifteen men who will
make their report this year on the
cost of medical care. It is expected,
he said, that they will present new
devices to get a better type of med-
ical service at a cost within the
average income.s

"The consolidation of small units
into larger 'ones for the purpose of
equalizing educational opportunities,
makes for the most effective school
system," declared Dr. Frank Bach-
man, survey director of the George
Peabody college for teachers, in a
l6cture yesterday.
"The south has made a distinct
contribution to education in develop-
ing the county unit," he asserted.
"New England had the town or town-
ship system, but the consolidation
system is most effective..
"There have been three stages in
this movement of consolidation. ''he
pioneering stags, 1910-1913, showed
an awakening spirit on the part of
educational leaders for the needs of
consolidation. The second period,
1913-1924, was the period of consoli-
dation when the counties became
dotted with four to six room consoli-
dated schools. A distinct style of
school architecture was developed.
"The third period was that of
scientific consolidation. The leaders

The .program- opensA With a move-
ment of S c h u m a n's "immortal"
Piano-quintet, the favorite p i e ce
among all chamber music lovers. For
special reasons, both musical and
acoustic, the number of string play-
ers will be doubled at this perfor-
mance.
A second quintet with a quite dif-
ferent combination of instruments
will follow. This will be a work by
Jean Cras, scored for harp, flute,t
violin, viola, and cello. Frantz and
Poinar, both well known as success-
ful concert soloists, will unite their
musical forces in a performance of
Chausson's unique and outstanding
concerto for piano, violin and string-1
ensemble.
This composition, better known ii}
Europe than ifs this country, deserves
a highly conspicuous place in the'
program of first class concert organ-s
ization, according to music school
professors. The more intimate and
most popular branch of chamber
music 'will be represented by a string
quartet in G major by Mozart, while
the program closes with a typical
septet from Saint-Saens, for piano,
trumpet and the string group. ,
Professor Rugen Will

Professor Rugen was formerly di-
rector of physical education for wo-
men at Washburn college, and direc-
tor of physical education for the
public schools of Hempstead, N. Y.,
before coming to Michigan in.1930.
She is now assistant professor of

Head of Administration
Returns to Frankfort for
Jlest of Session
Continuation of the work of the
University Council and an attempt to
smooth out some of the difficulties
which have arisen from it is to be
the chief administrative project of
the University during the coming
year, President Ruthven said yester-
day. No fundamental changes in the
present system are contemplated.
The Council, President Ruthven
stated, is principally engaged in the,
study of the work and personnel of
the various University committees
and was formed in an effort to per-
feet the organization of the Univer-
sity from administrative angles.
Praises Work of Body
Although the Council has been in!
operation for a year, much of its
work remains to be done. \
"I am exceptionally pleased," the
president said, "with the manner in
which the Council has been working.
For the first time in a number of
years the faculties are concerned,
with the' whole academic program."
The Council was formed about a
year ago to expedite the work of the'
University Senate, comprising the
memtbrs of all, the faculties. It is a
representative body and has become,
the executive organization of the
University Senate..I
President Ruthven, who returned
to Ann Arbor Monday to attend a
meeting of the University of Michi-
gan Institute for Archeological Re-
search, left early this morning for
his summer home in Frankfort, Mich.,
He will probably not return to the
University until about the middle of
September.
Former Chancellor of
Austria Dies at' 58
VIENNA, Au. 2.-O"P)-Monsignor
Ignaz Seipel, former chancellor of'
Austria, died today at a sanitarium,
near here. He was 58 years old. j
Monsignor Seipel, who became
chancellor in May, 1922, had been
ill for several months with lung
(trouble aggravated by an old bullet
wound received when an attempt1
was made to assassinate hin in 1914.j
A leader of the Christian Socialist
party in the republic which was born
of the war, he was the recognized
head of the Fascist movement in the
country but he neer allowed these
activities to interfere with his duties
as a Catholic priest.
University Band Will
Give Concert Tonight
Many Summer Session students
are expected to hear the second con-
cert of the University band at 7:15
o'clock tonight on the steps in front
of the Library. Under the direction
of Nicholas Falcone the organiza-
tion will play a series of numbers,
solos, and special arrangements. Stu-
dents will direct several of the num-
bers.
Circus Draws Faculty7
Members; Grand Show
Bands blared, barkers barkdd, and
Ann. Arbor society, students and fac-
ulty turned out in full force, first to,
sizzle in the heat under the big top,
and then to soak under the leaky
roof. It was a grand show.
Wandering around, ooking at the
elephants and tigers, with that in-
tense fervor that only he can eman-
ate, was our o~'n Robert Henderson,
director of numerous dramatic festi-
vals, taking it all in. And when the
ticket salesmen for the after-show,
the wild West rodeo, camne around,
those automobile-haters, Bud Rea
and Kirk Fisher, were among the
buyers.
Our wandering r ep o rt er also
noticed \Doctors Brace, Bunting,
Loree and Myers, taking health
hints on the care and feeding of ani-
mals. Louis Dunham, of the history
department, was more interested in
chaperoning his party, and didn't
really seem to take the whole affair
to heart.
But the person who probably got
the most good out of the circus was'
Horatio J. Abott, whose congressional
campaign was started with a big
bang. Thie clowns were also Demo-
crats, and called on him repeatedly?
for speeches. Horatio took off his
coat, rolled up his shirtsleeves, and
was promptly drowned out by the
band.
And what we enjoyed most of all
was the gentleman with the flat tire
who made three trips with an um-
brella to get all his family safely in
the shelter of his automobile. And
with the loading of the seventy or
what have you wagons on the train,
the circus left, and the show is overl
until next summer.

The withdrawal of Theodore A.
Thompson, of Wiliamston, from the
race. for R-epulican nomination asi
lieutenant governor leaves only two
canhdidates battling for the post.'
These are Charles A. Sink, head of
the School of Music, and Luren D.
Dickinson, the 'present incumbent.'
Thompson, Wiliamston publisher,
made the following statement in
withdrawing anti throwing his sup-
port to Dr. Sink:
"I am most appreciative of the ef-
forts which have been made in my
behalf throughout the state, and'
naturally, especially appreciative of
the fine response in my own county.
My friends need not feel, however,
that their efforts have been in vain,
for I can assure them that Mi. Sink'
will stand firmly fo' all the principles
for which I have stood, and that I
shall continue, whether in public of-
fice or not, to exert all my influence
to the furtherance of those princi-
ples."
Mr. Sink opened his campaign,
during which he intends to visit
every county in the state, at Char-
lotte on Sunday, where he spoke in
his opponent's home county before
an audience of 5,000 people. Today
he is scheduled, to address the Jack-
son Rotary club, and he will start on
a tour of the Upper Peninsula next
week, according to a statement by
his manager, Martin Mol.'
Mr. Sink is well known in state
and local politics. He has long been
active in Ann Arbor city circles and
is a former state senator and repre-
sentative.

OLYMPIC STADIUM, Los Angeles,
Aug. 2.-(I)-Featured by a thrilling
world record 800-meters by long Tom
Hampson of Great Britain in 1:49.8,
another barrage of superlative per-
formances were turned in by the
world's foremost field and track ath-
letes in the third day of the Olym-
pic championships.
The 24-year-old British s c h o o 1
teacher, who is winding up his com-
petive career in the 1932 Olympics,
ran a great international field dizzy,
with the fastest 800 meters of all
time.
Beats Walters
Ralph Metcalfe won the first ;00
meter quarter final.
Metcalfe was clocked in 21.5 sec-
onds, breaking another record that
has stood since 1924 at 21.6. The
American negro was not extending
himself, even so, as he beat Walters
of South Africa by a close margin.
Eddie Tolan came right back in
the second 200-meter quarter final to
equal Metalfe's new Olympic mar
of 21.5 seconds as he beat Pearson
of Canada and Genta' of Argentina
handily. The two American negroes,
only inches apart in the 100-meter
final yesterday, were on even terms
for the day.
Turner Places r
/ Hampson came like a race horse
in the stretch to beat Alex Wilson of,
Canadla who has run for Notre Dame,
by a foot in the pulse-thrilling finish,
meanwhile outracing Phil Edwards,
Canadian negro, and the American
trio of Eddie Genung, Ned Turner
and Charles Hornbostel, who finish-
ed in that order.
Meanwhile the feminine conting-
ent, which has been making an un-
broken record breaking pace, sur
passed two more world records and
George Faling, Iowa hurdler tied the
world record by racing over the 110-
meter high timbers in 14.4 seconds.
The women's world record in the
discus throw twice was surpassed be-
fore Lillian Copeland, American girl
from Los Angeles, got off the decisive
throw of 132 feet, 2 inches. This en-
abled her to beat Ruth Osburne of
Shelbyville, Mis., who had previously
set a record of 131 feet, 8 inches.'

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-('P)-The f
United States today announced its w
willingness to take part in a world i
economicconference withdthe under-
standing that silver would be one of w
the subjects discussbd and that re-
parations, international debts and
specific tariff rates would be barred.
The meeting, an outgrowth of the o
recent Lausanne Conference, differs s
from that proposed by Senator Borah q
of Idaho in that he called for a con- e
sideration of revision of war debts in a
return for European disarmament
and reparations cancellation.
The Senator will speak in Min-
neapolis tomorrow night in the first
of a series of addresses in which he
will take his proposal to the Country. i
The note of acceptance was de- t
livered late today to the British Em- n
bassy. It briefly outlined American w
acceptance of the British invitation S
and said the three representatives
of this Country would be named C
later for preliminary negotiations.
The main questions to .be dealt C
with are monetary and credit poli- c
cies, exchange difficulties, the level h
of prices, and the movement of capi-a
tal.
The economic phases will centerw
largely upon the problems of im-
proving conditions of production Andn
trade interchanges, with particular
attentiontto tariff policies.
Similar representation to that of
the United States will be had int
the preliminary conferences by Ger-°
many, Belgium, France, Great Brit-g

Paraguay.
It declined to say what replies
would be forwarded to Geneva, but

e the same as that given to the note
rom neutrals at Washington, in
which Bolivia flatly declared for an
mmediate settlement of the funda-

ASUNCION, Paraguay, Aug. 2.-(P)
A-The Government today ordered a
lattalion of !newly recruited troops
nto the heart of the disputed Chaco
erritory. (Neutral governments were
notified recently t h a t Paraguay
would not .be responsible for "repri-
als against Bolivian aggression.")
The battalion was recruited at
Concepcion by Marshal Lopez, and
received orders to proceed to the
Casado sector of the disputed jungle
country. It was there that Paraguay
has charged Bolivian soldiers had
attacked several Paraguayanx forts
or outposts. The ,Mennonite colony,
which protested against fighting in
their vicinity, is also in the Sasado
region.
Restore Order of Merit
The government today proposed
to restore the orderof merit, a dec-
oration of valor, dormant since Para-
guay was at war with Uruguay, Ar-
gentina and Brazil in 1815. Eight
hundred Uruguayans sent Paraguay
an offer to serve.,
Patriotic fervor mounted. A group
of women at Concepcion asked per-
mission to enlist and receive military
instruction. College professors start-
ed financing an ambulance corps.
Recruiting officers refused to take
scores of minors.
The government heard through
unofficial channels that four wealthy
Argentines with interests in this
country were planning to donate 30
military airplanes to the Paraguyan
army.

Von Hoffman Runs Down Wierd
Legend of Formosa's Savages
A wierd legend of white savages
in Formosa is brought back to Amer-
ica by Capt. Carl von Hoffman, fa-
mous explorer, ethnologist and lec-
turer.
The report was one of the, factors
'that aroused his interest in Formosa
and brought on the negotiations
which, eventually, persuaded the
Japanese government to accord him
the unprecedented distinction-to an
alien-of penetrating the mountain
reaches of the mysterious island.
Capt. von Hoffman readily dis-
posed of the suggestion that a white
tribe existed among the savages of
Malay or Polynesian origin. But,
startling as it may seem, he actually
did happen upon light individuals,
one blonde, the other quite white.
fore the advent of the Chin'ese con-
querors.
Formosa is a land of head collec-
tors. Their plumage has suggested
the thought they pnay have been re-
lated, in time of yore, to the Ameri-
can Indian.
He relates, an interesting story of
the origin of head hunting practise.
It goes back to the time of Chinese
conquest, the retreat of the fisher-
men of the coast to the mountains
and, their eventual overpopulation.
The -chief of the tribe decided to
split his people into two divisions.
He was in a quandary, however, as
to how to make an equal division,
for neither he himself nor any of
his subjects could count above ten.
He settled upon the happy thought
