11 AT YOUR DOOR THREE THE ONLY OFFCIAL EVENINGS A WEEK, 75c SUMMER PUBLICATION Vol IV. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1913 No. 6 STORMS RAGE AT CAMPBOGARDUS Winds, Rain, and Lightning Combine To Make Early Days Full of Interest for All. CAMP HOSPITAL IS POPULAR. Lightning which split the surround- ing trees to a kindling, a terrific rain, and a wind storm which amounted to a young cyclone, have made the week an eventful one for the engineers at Camp Bogardus, but have not sufficed to keep the work of the summer camp- ers from going on in full swing. Re- pairs have been made necessary on several tents, and a large pine which has stood by the shore of the lake was torn up by the roots and thrown across "State" street, but no serious damage was done, and a great deal of COL. SHIELDS DEPIC'TS LIFE OF RED SKIN IN STEREOPTICON LECTURE. "The Blanket Indian of the North- west" was the subject of an illustrated lecture by Colonel G. O. Shields, of New York City, in the west physics lecture room Tuesday afternoon. By the aid of the stereopticon, the life and customs of the red-skinned race were realistically depicted. "The cowboy and the Indian are doomed to oblivion," said the speaker. Having lived among them for many years he regretted their passing as one of America's most distinctive factors. Above all Col. Shields attributed to the Indian the ability to adapt himself to any circumstances in which he is placed. In speaking of some of his many interesting experiences, he said, "Many is the time that I have eaten dog and pony with the Indian.". DR, WARTHIN MAKES CARE OF BODY BASIS OF ETHICS Discusses Agencies Which Retard Eugenics Movement and Fore- sees Success. "The great system of ethics from a biological standpoint is to make the most of thebody,-to bring into the world progeny better than you are," said Dr. A. S. Warthin in a lecture in the west amphitheater of the medical building Tuesday night. The subject was "Care of the Germ Cells as the Basis for a System of Ethics." The speaker made a broad plea for eugenics and the betterment of the race, showing by stereopticon many. specific ways in Which the germ cells are destroyed and deprived of pro- creative qualities. Among these de- structive agencies he mentioned pois- oning by lead, mercury, phosphorus, and nicotine. Alcohol and venereal diseases were shown to be the princi- STUDENTS FROM FORTY BEAVER POSSESSES CLEES STUDSY WARPOS SE GAME AT GETTYSBURG.

Men have been arriving at the camp all week, and there are now all told 33 tents in use, includifig the mess tent and the office tent. Previous 'to this year the biological students have. had their mess in Camp Bogardus in conjunction with the engineering stu- dents, but this year it was thought ad- visable to separate the two camps, and the "Bugs"' mess tent has been torn down, and rebuilt- in their own camp. Independence day was officially opened when Mr. -Brodie marched through the rain and raised Old Glory to the top of the Camp flag pole. The day was celebrated by trips to neigh- boring towns-Topinabee, Cheyboy- gan, and Petoskey being among the places visited. Those who did not go away spent the day playing baseball, swimming, and lounging around the camp. "Doc" Stouffer, '13H, and his hos- pital have been playing a very import- ant role in camp, for his successful treatment of sprained ankles, dislo- cated fingers and minor bruises, have made him a much sought man. "Doc" also runs the camp store and post- office, and this has contributed not a little to his popularity.

Observations will continue until 9:30 and on Saturday until 10:30, while the hours on Monday, will be from 8:00 to 10:30 o'cldck.

Only two tickets will be given to each person as the number has been lim- ited to 350 for the three evenings. University Observatory. The moon may be observed by each visitor and the, new 12-inch refractor will be used for that purpose. The 37-inch refractor will be focused on the star Zega, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere at - the present time. There will be instructors in charge of the instruments to inform the star gazers in regard tq the dif- ferent stars. Many took advantage of the visitors nights at the observatory last summer and it is epected that a capacity crowd will fill it this year. "all the four limbs are used; and the tail. acts as a propeller. To shorten their travel, beavers have built ink umerable canals in this country. In many cases, the work might have done credit to any trained engineer. This together with many other instances shows what wonderful thinking power the beavers possess; yet some natur- alists are apt to say that animals have no reasoning ability." Fifty stereopticon views were thrown on the screen, illustrating the habitats and food materials, and other features of the animal. The nest of the beaver is built of the branches of all kinds of trees, though birch and willow are commonly used. The ani- mal lives on the barks of trees. The last of Colonel Shields' series of lectures will be given this evening at 8:00 o'clock in University hall. His subject will be "Snow Slides in the Canadian Rockies." DEAN BATES WILL ADDRESS STATE BAR NEXT THURSDAY. "Popular Discontent with the Law and Some Remedies Therefor" is the Itopic of a lecture to be delivered by Dean H. M. Bates of the law depart9 ment before the Michigan state bar association when that body meets in Lansing next week. The meeting will open Wednesday morning with an ad- dress by the president of the associa- tion and will continue until Thursday evening. Among the prominent speak- ers are to be Governor Woodbridge N. Ferris and United States Senators Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, and Porter J. McComber of North Dakota. The Ingham county bar* association will entertain the guests Thursday af- ternoon. MEMORIAL IS TO BE SECURED FOR STUDENT MILITARY DEAD. Alumni Memorial hall, erected es- pecially in honor of the university's soldier and sailor dead, is to have a bronze tablet commemorating the stu- dents who fought and fell in the coun- try's wars. The campaign to raise the $5000 necessary to obtain the mem- orial has been started by the Alumni committee, who were instrumental in getting the building for the univer- sity. Professor Sadler of the marine en- gineering department expects to leave very soon for a European trip. He will spend the remainder of the sum- mer in England and Germany.
