If the money regis- is obtained to complete it and purchase equipment, the building will surely be used for this purpose. rstood PHARMACY PROFESSION BENEFIISERGMWAR Crisis Has Created Demand Both for Men with Training and for Materials Pharmacy, one of the latest sub- jects to realize its opportunities, has taken a tremendous start because the war has created such a demand both for material and men trained in the profession, said Prof. H. Kraemer in his lecture on "Pharmacy and the war," at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon 'n the Natural Science auditorium. In fact the demand so far exceeds the supply that it is an extremely pro- fitable profession to enter. Pharmacy in, America has made great strides in the last few years, he said. In Europe and the Asiatic coun- tries its science has long been known but modern American methods have made the same materials far more productive than when cultivated by foreign means. But any one going in- to this work must be interested enough to make a real study of it, as serious mistakes are otherwise easily made. On one plantation where medicinal plants were grown hasheesh, one of the worst forms of opium was being cultivated side by side with such ben- eficial plants as digitalis. So for this reason while the work is easy to make a success of, only 'people honestly in- terested should enter the profession. MAKE PLANS FOR GUILD LECTURES Negotiations are already being made for speakers in the series of lec- tures given every year through the Wesleyan Guild, and while the pro- gram is not yet complete, two have definitely been secured. Mr. Harold L. Hough of the Garrett Biblical In- stitute will speak on January 5. Mr. Hough expects to spend three months abroad this fall and this will insure an interesting talk on fresh material from the point of view of an eye witness. Pres. W. A. Jessup, of Iowa State University, will speak on Oc- tober 6, but his subject is not yet an- nounced. A special endeavor is being made to secure Dr. Harry E. Fos- dick, who has been abroad for six months and is just returning now. He has probably spoken in more Italian Y. M. C. A. huts than any other Amer- ican. Dr. Fosdick is a well known author of religious books specially for young men. The two most recently published are "The Challenge of the Present Crisis" and "The Manhood of the Master." LIEUTENANTj GHENT KILLED IN FRANCE Lieut. Donald F. Ghent, reported killed in action in France in today's casualty list, lived at 619 Church street, this city, until his entrance into Fort Sheridan training camp last sum- mer. He received his commission as first lieutenant in November, 1917, and sailed May 5, 1917. He was offic- ially reported killed July 20. He was never enrolled in the Uni- versity, and was little known in Ann Arbor, having spent most of his time in other cities. The Ghent family moved to 4,52 Humboit avenue, De- troit, about two weeks ago. Before moving to Ann Arbor they lived in A- pena, Mich. He leaves a father and mother, a sister Dorothy and three brothers, Frank, Charles, and William, the lat- ter also in service and reported to be waiting transportation to France at an eastern sea port. War Prevents Newberry Fete As a war measure, plans for the lawn fete which has been given annu- ally for summer school women on the lawns of Newberry residence, have been abandoned. The affair was giv- en last year by Miss Agnes E. Wells, the Women's league, and residents of Newberry. A number of faculty guests were present as well as students, and altogether it-was the biggest social event of the summer session. Tenta- tive plans were made this year, but after consideration by the executive committee, it was deemed adviseable to turn the sum which would be ex- pended in this manner, into more use- ful channels. As this decision was reached too late to make any other plans for the usual Thursday afternoon league party, there will be none this week. However, a picnic will be held a week from Thursday. In the event of rain, it will take place in Barbour gymnasium. - Each girl is expected to provide her own lunch and the Wo- men's league will furnish coffee. The league also expected to stage an entertainment for the benefit of the detachment men, and elaborate plans were made by Prof. John R. Brumm to produce a show of merit. However, it was found that sufficient talent of the right type was not available to insure its success, so plans for this venture have also been given up.

SIUDENIS MAKE ANNOAL IDONEY 10 PVI-IN-8A1 Inspect Caves and Other Freaks of Nature; Trip Pronounced a Rare Treat (By Pash) Did you make the trip to Put-in- Bay? No? You missed it! Seven o'clock Saturday morning found a merry little throng of some 25 stu- dents accompanied by their teacher, rollicking gaily over the 40 miles of paradise between here and the Big City. A hasty breakfast on Jefferson avenue and then-a dash to the boat to get seats next to the railing. The boat was full-I think there was an annual picnic of the Chimney Sweeps' Union auxiliary No. 6,349 on board, and a sweeping spirit of good- fellowship reigned supreme. The morning was spent in tormenting the ship's officers with questions, and along toward noon, luncheon was serv- ed on deck from shoe boxes and paper bags, and was followed by dancing in the ball room on a floor closely re- sembling a sloping roof (a heavy sea was running). It was at this point that, aster a few turns on the glassy floor, several of our friends myster- iously disappeared and we saw them not until land hove once more in sight. Land in Sight The trip was uneventful save for an occasional shark which appeared along side of the boat, and the excited tugging of steamer chairs up and down companion-ways from one deck to and "the best view." I believe some were still rushing frantically about the boat on their mad quest when the cry of "Land!" suddenly went up and ten thousand binoculars were levelled at Put-in-Bay and the pretty little isle where we were to spend the afternoon. "Is this where we Put-In?" rog- uishly asked the wit of the party of the professor. "Ha! Ha!" laughed the crowd heartily, as one by one they shook hands with the captain and trip- ped merrily down the gang-plank. We dined grandly on hamburgers and then set out for the caves-the object of our visit. First came Per- ry's cave where, it is claimed, the com- modore once buried a treasure. How- ever, nobody in the party felt impell- ed to start digging for it. Down about 50 feet, we came to a huge stone vault containing perfect specimens of stal- actites and stalagmites (I hope the professor doesn't see this!) At one end was an old gentleman who loudly call- ed to the visitors to come and drink from the wishing well. The well was carefully avoided until it was whisp- ered about that it was free. Then the (Continued on Page Two) GOVERNMENT MAY SEND 90 HERE Officers Expected in Ann Atbor in Few Days to Sign Contract for Quota FIGURE INCLUDES DETACHMENT Indications now are that 1,500 men will be training on the campus ater October 15, as result of the recent trip of University officials to Washington in reference to the University's par- ticipation in the training of men for war service. It is expected that a party of government officials will be in Ann Arbor the latter part of this week, or the first of next, to sign the contract. This quota of 1,500 men to the Uni- versity includes the 700 expected to arrive about August 15, for which the contract is already signed. Of the remaining 800 men 300 will be in the signal corps unit for which Lieutenant Back is now in the city making ar- rangements. The remaining 500 have not as yet been assigned, but it is probable that 100 of them will be trained as topographical draftsmen. Others will be student gunsmiths, blacksmiths, and members of other trades necessary to war work. Lodging Question Not Settled The matter of feeding and housing is not yet fully settled, according to University officials, but it is probable that the Union will be utilized both for housing and feeding the men, if the money become available fr complet- ing its constructionand purchasing kitchen and dining room equipment. There is a sum available from the re- cent campain for funds to put the build- ing in shape, but it is not sufficient. It will be necessary to raise the re- mainder through a hurry-up cam- paign, or by other means. As the contract has not yet been signed terms are not to be had, but it is understood that it will be nearly, if not entirely on a cost basis. More May Come The government did not think it feasible to send the full 2,800 men here that the University declared it could handle as a result of the survey car- ried on several weeks ago. Should the contract for 1,500 students be signed, however, it will not indicate at all that a larger number may not be sent ,later on. More even may be sent this year. By this addition to the numbers al- ready training at the University, Michigan moves considerably up the column of universities and colleges training army men. While not head- ing the list, it nevertheless is in the first division. PUBLIC IS INVITED TO SPECIAL DRILL Students of the University and cit- izens of Ann Arbor will have an op- portunity to witness the first formal battalion review to be given at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon on Ferry field by the members of the training de- tachment. The reviewing stand will be the bleachers south of the large baseball grandstand. No admission will be charged. Every member of the detach- ment has been practicing battalion drills for the past week. Some Stadium for Dix Camp Dix, located at Wrightstown, N. J., may soon boast an open air stadium to seat 50,000 persons located in a natural amphitheater there.
