AT YOUR DOOR THREE THE ONLY OFF AL EVENINGS A WEEK, 75c SUMMER PUBCATION Vol. V. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1914. No. 16. CAMP COOPERATES WITH V._S. SURVEY Two Systems Connected at Bogardus Two Students Called Home by Fathers' Deatihs SANI'AIRY CONDITIONS PERFECT TOPINABEE, MICH,--The Bogardus engineering camp has conected its tri angulation surveying system with the United States Lake Survey system, is reconnaisance of the iland route, thus enabling the camp to check latitudes and longitudes, and to tie the local surveys with those of the government. Quite a gloom was thrown over the camp last week when telegrams an- nounced the sudden deaths of the fath- ers of Harry J. Bill, Detroit, and V. F. Spring, Hudson, Mich. The two men left for their homes immediately. Dr. C. B. Stauffer reports that the health of the camp is excellent. The sanitary committee, composed of three parties and the camp physician, makes a daily inspection of the beach and the camp in general. Fish washed ashore are buried. A bonfire was touched off by faculty men in camp last Friday, at which time the campers assembled, sang Michigan songs, and listened to a talk by Prof. C.T. Johnston. Regular affairs of this kind wil be held during the re- mainder of the camp period. Among the recent camp improve- ments are two steel tents, concrete floors in five tents and an engine room. The tents are 14 feet square with walls six feet high, covered with galvanized iron. A water main has been extended 200 feet, making water much more eas- ily procured. Within a few days the new hospital will be erected, but as yet there are no patients to occupy it. Samples of water from the new camp well, examined in Ann Arbor, show that it is absolutely pure. The mess committee reports that it was able to feed the entire camp of 120 people for the first three weeks at $10.50 per man, which includes entire expenses of cooking and kitchen help. Edward C. Hasse, 14E, one of the teaching assistants, has been called to Great Falls, Montana, to enter the re- demption service of the government. Ills place on the teaching sttaff is fill- ed by A. A. Anderson, '4E. PROFESSOR GRAM OPERATED ON Engineering Faculty Man Has Opera- tion i Grand Rapids Prof. L. M. Gram, of the engineering departnment, who was strikein with an attack of acute appendicetis in Grand Rapids Saturday, was operated on at Butterworth hospital Tuesday morn- ing. Latest reports isdicate that he will recover rapidly from the opera- tion. Mrs. Gram, who was in New Jersey at the time of her husband's attack, reached Grand rapids Sunday night. At first it was deemed advisable to re- move Professor Gram to Ann Arbor, and perform the operation here, but Monday an immediate operation was found necessary. 1 f LANDSCAPE IESIGN CLASS TO r VISIT DETROIT PARKS FRIDAY The trip, wbich the students in course 3a landscape design were to take to Detroit last week, wil be taken tomorrow if good weather continues. The party will observe and study the various flower and shrub arrange- ments to be found in the different parks, and Professor Tealdi invites anyone to go who is interested in the dierent phases of home ground devel- opment. The party will leave at 6:56 on the Michigan Central. Ten Laws Enter Second Semester Ten new students have enrolled in the second semester of the law depart- ment, making a total of 223 for both semesters, in comparison to a total of 195 for last year OBSERVATORY MAN EXPLAINS MOON TO 150 CURIOUS ONES OBSERVATORY MAN EXPLAINS MOON TO 150 CURIOUS ONES Visitor's night at the observatory yesterday brought out 150 curious in- dividuals between 7:30 and 10:30' o'clock. Everyone was allowed to look at the moon through the 12-inch re- fracting telescope, and all were told where the volcanoes, plains and seas were located. Professor Curtiss and his assistants answered all manner of questions re- garding the solar system, and dem- onstrated the various apparatuses andI their specific use. After observing the moon, the reflecting telescope provedI most interesting. The assistant in charge explained that it is used mostlyc for photographic and spectoscopic work, and turned on the current to show the violet sparks in the spectro- scope. Many were disappointed in not be-t ing able to observe the different stars,c but as the time was limited and thec crowd large, the moon was all thatt could be observed. The observatory will be open again tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30I o'clock. There are still a few tickets left, and students may secure them by applying at the office of the summer session.

Palmer, '1,s chairman, and Russel V. Allman, grad.,t announce that a handsome tennis rac- quet will be given to the winner of thet tournament.P SAYS MELANCHOLY MAY BRING CANCER Dr. Darling Believes Disappointments Are Often Agents for Development of Disease URGES HOMES FOR SUFFERERS "Nothing in the cancer points to in- heritance of the disease, but there is something in the history of each pa- tient to prove that melancholy life has something to do with its forma- tion" said Dr. C. B. Darling of the medical faculty, in his lecture Tuesday night on "Present views concerning the Causation and Curability of Can- cer." He added that "a great deal of hard work, loss of friends, worries and disappointments, have much to do with its causation." "Absolute cleanliness of person," he said, "and a yearly examination by a competent person are the sure means of reducing the death rate, for in my practice I have not yet a single case that showed cancer of the mouth, that did not show the signs of lack of care. It is rare that a man who uses a tooth brush has a cancer of the mouth. There is only one sure cure for cancer and that is operative, but only in the early stages, otherwise we cannot do much for it." In the matter of prevention Dr. Dar- ling stirred his audience when he said: "Often the cancer is developed from an irritation of the skin, from warts or small Dmoles on the surface of the body; such warts and moles should be removed, and in this way a great num- ber pf cancers could be prevented. We may never discover the cause of can- cer, but we have discovered a way to prevent its development and that is through the knife. Every year there are as many or more deaths from can- cer than from tuberculosis." He concluded by urging everybody to help to get homes for incurable cancer patients; for in such homes every effort is made to take the pa- tients mind off his suffering, and make his life more comfortable. Such hom- es ought to be plentiful," he said. PROF SAUER IS TO CONDUCT; BIG PARTY TO PUT-IN-BAY Professor Carl O. Sauer, of the geol- ogy department, will leave with a par- ty of students and their friends for a day's outing and sightseeing at Put- in-Bay Island at 6:07 o'clock Saturday morning. Although the trip has beent planned primarily for students 'of physiography, any one who wants to avail himself of this opportunity7 to see the features of interest on the island, or to have a pleasant outing, is asked to join the party. A specialt round trip rate of $1.60 from Ann Ar- bor, via. the Michigan Central and steamer "Put-in-Bay" from Detroit to the island has been secured. 1 Aside from the 120-mile lake trip,t he island of Put-in-Bay presents many points of special interest. It is known historically as the stopping-place of Commodore Perry during the war ofc 1812. A large monument is being erected in honor of Perry on the isl- and at the present time. Geologically, he three different kinds of caves, the presence of well-marked glacial groov- ngs, and the study of wave action int utting cliffs, are features of specialt mportance. These features will beE leseribed to members of the party onc he ground.c Many have already signified their7 ntention of taking the trip. Those who have not left their names and would] ike to join the party should see Prof.1 Sauer or Mr. Perkins in the museum4 building, first floor; at once. 4 3 DOUBLE DEFEAT IS LOT OF MEDICS E;ngilseers town Doctors 4-1, While Lit Aggregation Garners 12-2 Victory LAWS BACK IN GAME TOM0OR Vt'OW t lVon..Lost..
