of women to train for work in civilian
and army hospitals in this country is
very urgent. Therefore a national
campaign beginning July 29 and con-
tinuing until August 11, will be waged
to enroll women to fill the need. The
city Y. W. C. A. will be open every
evening, and Foster's Art Store every
afternoon from 1 to 5 o'clock to take
enlistments. A trained nurse will be
present to answer the questions for
those who want msore information
about the work before making a final
decision. Army and civilian hospitals
will be used as training quarters after
the students have passed an elemen-
tary course.
Education Not Required
Intelligent, responsible women be-
tween the ages of 19 and 35 are want-
ed. Although a college education or
special scientific trainipg is a great
asset, and will entitle extra credit,
they are not absolute requirements.
Women may enroll themselves in
any of these three different ways:

in readiness until April 1, 1919, to ac-
cept assignments to nurses training
schools. These women will be sent
to the schools as fast as the vacancies

Michigan has lost one of her trio of
great coaches in the enlistment of
Steve Farrell, track coach, in the
Sanitary corps. He will leave next
week for Menola, N. J., where he will
condition aviators, and be gone for
the remainder of the war. He holds a
commission as first lieutenant.
Farrell has been track mentor for
the Maize and Blue since 1912, and
now is recognized"as among the great-
est of track coaches, if not the great-
est. His teams have won consistently
and been recognized as champions of
the west, and no eastern review of
national track is ever complete with-
out a comparison of the best of the
east with Farrell's proteges. This
year he won both the indoor and out-
door championships of the west, near-
ly doubling the points of nearest
teams. It was unfortunate that we
should have been unable for financial
reasons to send the team to the East-
ern intercollegiates as Michigan was
recognized as favorite.
Up until 1916 Farrell was also
trainer for the football team. Harry
Tuthill, trainer for the Detroit Tigers,
then took over the job and Farrell
was left free to devote all of his time
to track. Tuthill is also now in ser-
vice and Michigan is left without a
football trainer. Athletic Director
Philip Bartelme said yesterday that
another would be secured.

Chelsea for a short interval before
leaving.
Mistook First Section
The freight crew was unloading and
loading at the freight house, which
stands between the siding and the
main line. The only way they had of
knowing that a car passed was by the
noise and by seeing it leave the sta-
tion. They were handling steel and
the noise interfered with their
hearing a car pass, and when the first
section pulled out after its halt at
Chelsea, Buck saw it leaving and
thought it was the second. A few
minutes later he gave the order to
run out on the main line.
Motorman Taylor Testifies
Harold G. Taylor of Detroit, motor-
man on the passenge4 car, gave a
vivid account of how he saw the
freight car ahead through the gather-
ing dusk, of how he couldn't realize
for the instant that it was really an-
other car approaching, and then how
he threw off the power, jammed on the
brakes, and jumped, taking care that
he didn't strike a telegraph pole. As
he hit the ground he heard the cars
crash together.
Additional testimony was given by
Frederick Peppler, train despatcher,
by the man assisting in handling the
reight, and by several people who hap-
pened to be passing at the time of the
wreck. Assistant County Prosecut-
ing Attorney Leslie W. Lisle, will con-
duct his examination at 7:30 o'clock
next Tuesday.
Hindu to Speak Sunday Night
Mr. N. R. Chavre, a special engin-
eering student in the university, will
give an illustrated talk Sunday night
at 6:30 o'clock at the Wesleyan guild.
The subject that Mr. Chavre has se-
lected is "India of Use Indians." Mr.
Chavre is a Hindu, bin home is at
Shahupuri Rolhapur, India. The pub
lie is invited.
