THE ONLY OFFICIAL ±FOR THE REMAINDER OR THE REMANER SUMMER NEWSPAPER Vol. VI. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1915. No. 21 SMITH TAKES ONE SECONDAT FDISCO Michigan Man Contender in Struggle which Shuttered All Marks o the Past 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. Meyer, of the Irish American A.

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. ~uI rn ANN ADROR PLANS MihianMUNICIPAL FETE 2:15 o'clock-"Women and Suffrage," Miss Downing of Michigan State Many Features Planned by Committee Normal College.

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 (Continued on Page 4) 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: Annie Laurie .......... ......A. Geibel (Winter Song .............F. F.

FINAL WEEK OF LECTURES TO EXtEED OTHERS IN INTEREST This, the final week's program of summer lectures will be particularly attractive. This afternoon at five o'clock Professor R. M. Wenley will lecture on "Morality and Humor." Tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock Professor H. Thieme will talk on "The; Spirits of French Civilization." At eight o'clock the Faculty of the Uni- versity School of Music will give its last concert. Thursday afternoon an illustrated lecture on "Photographic Triumphs in Astronomy" will be given by Dr. P. W. Merril. Thursday even- ing a series of miscellaneous readings will be given by the class in interpre- tive reading, under the direction of SMr. oLuis Eich, at the Sarah Caswell Angell Hall. Friday evening "The Limiting Factors in Human Life and the Probability of Eliminating Them" will be given by Dr. W. H.
