MANY RECORDS BROKEN IN VAIN
By Map Church,
Captain "Hal" Smith, of the Varsity
track team, finished second in the
220-yard dash at the national cham-
pionship of the A. A. U. at the San
Francisco exposition games last Sat-
urday, forcing the victor to travel the
distaoce in 211-5 seconds, which
equals the world's record for the fur-
long, and smashes the former A. A. U.
mark of 21 2-5 seconds.
"Ted" Meredith ran a quarter in 47
seconds equalling the world's record,
all hurdling marks were shattered,
and several field performances were
bettered, in the senior events at the
fair. Owing to the high wind, how-
ever, none of the sensational perform-
mances recorded on the coast will be
allowed to stand as official marks.
Morse's victory in the 220 was rath-
er an upset. The Brooklyn man show-
ed only fairly well i the eastern
team trials at the Harvard stadium a
month ago,-failing to win either event.

PROFESSOR WARE DISCUSSES
oPAINT DEVELOPMENT AND USE
Extensive Study of Subject Has Been
Carried on for Short Time;
Progress Is Made
Yesterday afternoon's lecture at the
physics lecture room was delivered by
Prof. E. E. Ware of the chemical engi-
neering department, on "The Life His-
tory of the Paint Family."
"Few people realize the importance
of. paint. A few statistics will bring
out its importance: in building con-
struction last year in the United
States, the value of steel used was
$65,000,000; that of cement $95,000,-
000; that of brick $90,000,000; that of
paint and varnishes $120,000,000."
"Very little is known about paint.
It has been the object of scientific
tudy only a few years. Formerly
paint was used only for intdrior dec-
orating. Paint is a mixture of some
pigment plus a carrying agent. In
the old days people knew how to make
paint which would wear, but the pro-
cess of making good paint was very
expensive. The things that made pos-
sible an extensive use of paint were
the use of oil as a carrying agent and
the invention of machinery for grind-
ing the paint to a suitable consis-
tency."
Professor Ware went on to explain
and illustrate by means of examples
the relation between different pig-
ments and oils, showing how the
weathering ability and the ability to
withstand heat changes is influenced
by the content of the paint.
"Oils have much affect on paint
life, only those being good which give
a strong, elastic film. Only a few oils
have this quality. The one most used
is linseed oil.
: "Perhaps the best varnish is made
from fossil gums, that Is, gums found
in the coil which come from trees
which lived so long ago that no trace
of them can be found, But those
gums are becoming very expensive,
costing $.10 to $1.25 a pound. A sub-
stitute which competes well is made
from a mixture of rosin, which costs
only $.03 a pound, and oil."
Following this series of lantern
slides were shown illustrating the
different surfaces and wearing ability
of paints caused by the use of several
pigments and oils.

SECOND WOMEN'S
HALL OPENS SOON

of 150, will be Ready in

LAST CONDERT TO
FEATUREATISTS
In Many Ways Final Program Prom-
ises to .he Best of the Attractions
For the Summer
DEAN ASSIGNS ROOMS ALREADY WVESTERMAN QUARTET TO APPEAR
With the opening of the new Martha
Cook dormitory in the fall, Michigan
will boast two of the best women's
dormitories in the country.
The Newberry Residence, one of the
most completely appointed buildings
for women of which any college in
the country can boast, was opened for
the summer school session. The
Martha Cook dormitory, which will
accommodate more than 150 women
students, will be opened with the be-
ginning of the regular fall session.
The building is the gift of the Cook
family of Hillsdale, in memory of their
mother, Martha Cook. The directors
of the dormitory are: Mrs. Louise
Cook, Hillsdale; Miss Grace Millard,
'97; and Mrs. Frederick B. Stevens, of
Detroit.
Built in an adaptation of English
collegiate Gothic style, the new addi-
tion to the university buildings is con-
structed of brick and stone, and is
located on the corner of South Ingalls
and South University avenue.
The building has been erected near-
ly entirely of brick and stone, in an
effort to make it entirely fire-proof.
Downstairs a large dining room and
hall, each 33 feet by 53 feet in dimen-
sions, opening on a terrace through
French doors, offer ample space for
social affairs. A kitchen and dining
room equipment, large enough to satis-
fy the needs of nearly 200 people has
been secured.
The individual rooms will be locat-
ed on the second, third and fourth
floors. Although most of the rooms
are single, the general plan is to have
them all connected by a double hall
On each floor a room will be arranged
as a general reception room, with a
kitchenette adjoining, for the use of

BAKER AND CLARK MOVE UP A
STEP IN DOUBLES TOURNAMENT
As the last and probably biggest
number on Ann Arbor's "Big Day"
program, there will take place to-
morrow evening in Hill Auditorium,
at 8:00 o'clock, the last complimen-
tary summer concert which will con-
tain numbers of more than usual
variety, and a splendid entertainment
is sure to be the result.
Under the leadership of Mr. Kenneth
N. Westerman, instructor in the school
of music and director of the summer
choral union, the "Westerman Quar-
tet" will give some light selections.
The quartet will be made up of Messrs.
Kenneth and Scott Westerman, tenors,
U. Stanley Wilson and Harry Carlson,
basses. As the quartet has been work-
ing faithfully for several weeks, their
contribution promises to be of excep-
tional interest.
Miss Nora Crane Hunt, contralto, of
the school of music faculty, will give
a few delightful numbers. Her sing-
ing in past concerts has made her a
very popular artist.
Mr. Albert Lockwood, head of the
piano department of the school of
music, will render several selections.
Being a musician of the highest type,
Mr. Lockwood's work will probably be
one of the features of the program.
The rendition of Gounod's "Gallia,"
by the summer choral union of 100
voices is expected to be the hit of the
evening. Although but few rehearsals
have been held, those taking part have
done consistent work under the lead-
rship of Mr. Westerman, and the num-
ber which they will give will probably
outdo all expectations.
In order to avoid annoyance, the
doors will be kept closed during the
numbers, and all who attend are urged
to try and be seated by 8:00 o'clock.
The following program will be given:
