A comparison of the three five-year
periods since 1901, shows that there
has ben a very remarkable growth in.
the sumer department. From 1901
through 1906, the enrollment increased
from 416 to 1034. From the year 1906
hrough 1911 therew as an increase
from 1034 to 1194 In the period from,
1901 through 1906 the summer session
lasted only six weeks. During the
second period ethere came a transition
from the six to the eight-week ses-
sion. In the third period from 1911
through 1916 there was an increase
from 1194 to 1793. The official figures
for this year follow:
There was the Bible, the Christian
Herald, "and lately," said the old lady,
"I've been reading the funny little
paper." The student didn't under-
stand what the "funny little paper"
was and grandmother didn't seem to
know either, although she used both
hands to describe it. The inquisitive
student inquired about the newspaper.
"No," grandmother replied, "I don't
read it. The funny little paper tells
me all the news I want to know and
leaves out all the murders and terrible
things that does folks no good to read.
Yesterday the summer school stu-
dent passed grandmother's room and
glanced in as she went by. The old
lady was reading "the funny little
paper." A thought had occurred to
the student by the time she reached
where he pleaded not guilty. Judge
Doty continued the case until Sept.
tb and held him on $100 bond.
According to Dr. Wessinger, new
cases will keep on developing for the
next ten days. "There is not much
possibility of the cases ceasing until
the first of September," said Dr. Wes-
singer, "and its also prety hard to say
how many more will be reported, be-
cause it takes from seven to ten days
before there are any signs of the dis-
ease."
Two other cases from different cities,
are also in the University hospital, one
is from Fostoria, Ohio, and the other
is from Detroit. Those from the other
towns came here to be treated. One
of them did not know that he was af-
flicted until he, came to the hospital
'or treatment of another illness.,

phoids are: Two eases at 1117 Wells

to catch up with the child who lost it.
On up along the walk, seated on a
bench in the shade, perhaps twenty
feet beyond the ribbon, was one of
those neat mustached young men who
ornament the campus, particularly
the comfortable spots, their groups al-
ways easily located by the congenial
atmosphere of cigarette smoke with
which they surround themselves. He,
too, must have seen the ribbon as it
fell, but it was very hot that morn-
ing, and it lay twenty feet away in the
sun. Therefore he looked in the other
direction.
Away up by the economics building,
a group of students released from class
streamed down along the walk toward
the fountain, but from State street
to the group the walk was empty.
There was someone else who had
speen the ribbon, Over by the corner
of University hall an Italian work-
man, a short muscular lad, who looked
to be about nineteen or twenty, dresed
in stained khaki trousers and a faded
blue shirt, open at the throat and
sleeves torn off at the elbow, dropped
his shovel,. and ran across the new
curbed driveway, covered with piles of
sand and broken brick, over the
stretch of burned grass to the walk,
and picking up the bit of silk care-
fully, started in hasty pursuit of the
owner.
She was past the fountain now. His
big, heavy shoes clattered as he ran., He
suet and passed the advancing groups
of students with his head down so
that the tattered brim of his old felt
that hid his face. He did not stop
until he was beside the white clad girl.
Then, sweeping his hat from his head
with a bow as graceful and courtly as
any social favorite, he held out the
ribbon.
He came back walking on the path
at the edge of the walk, Ioking dowo
at his dusty garments and smiling to
himself in a rather abashed but highly
satisies' manner. The fashionabe
young man on the bench watched him
pass and the expression on his face
was a study
ALLIES GAIN ON MACEDONIAN
FRONT. SERBIANS PROGRESS
Paris, Aug. 23.-An official state-
ment received tonight from General
Sarrail at Saloniki says:
"The Allies have maintained their
gains on the Macedonian front. The
Serbians have made progress north oft

the Struma and in the visinity of Os-
trovo Lake has been checked."
plunge through the line and circle the
ends, and then he has picked all men
to carry the Maize and Blue through-
out the season against the Orange of
Syracuse or the Red of Cornell. This
year is peculiar-it will be an unusual
one for Yost-it is unusual for Michi-
gan. Last year's team went down to
a comparatively inglorious finale-the
season was declared to be the worst
in Michigan football. And Yost, the
king of all football mentors, had to sit .
on the sidelines and watch his pet
trick plays smothered by the farmers
from M. A. C., saw Cornell smash
through guards, tackles, center, bore
the shame and chagrin of seeing the
Wolverine goal line crossed and re-
crossed during the season.
That same Yost will again sit upon
Michigan's sidelines this year, but
from the first day he steps upon the
gridiron this season, from the first
minute of football practice, he will
prepare against a recurrence of those
tragic moments of last season's
clashes. Fielding H. will come back
to Ferry Field this year with blood
in his eye, and hard, unceasing, grind-
ing practice-preparation-will be the
word up to the last whistle in. the

be proud if her schools step off the

CAMP DAVISSCENE OF
.EXCIEMENT, VISIJORS
Loaf of Bread Used As Cornerstone for
illichigan Union-Races, Drives
and Songs.
Last aSturday the mysteries of Camp
Davis were unveiled before the won-
dering public by the unusal visitors'
day. Many were on the grounds by
10:00 o'clock in the morning and were
given the privilege of inspecting the
camp. The chief morning attraction
wa the ball game between the faculty
and the champion camp team with
Professor Johnston acting as umpire,
The faculty team, headed in feats of
valor by Professor Brodie, won after
a hard eight-inning battle by the score
of 8 to 7.
Perhaps the real feature of the day
was the dedication of the Michigan
Union. President Spender. (pastry
cook) of the Union, appeared with
Charlie Kleine, the introducer, in a
carriage and after interruptions of a
manifold character, gave the dedica-
tion speech and laid the cornerstone
(a loaf of bread). Other smaller fea-
tures consisted of dashes, sack races,
swimming and diving contests among
which was an eight-yard swimming
'ace held between Bobby Burns,
Shirty Webster and Charlie Klene,
with Burns winning first honors.
The day was closed by singing the
"Yellow and Blue." Two hundred and
forty-six visitors registered in camp
and, together with 130 camp people,
made a total of 376 present. Camp
