Says ligltway Reducti n One Way to
' ~Lmit Expenditures
Washington, Aug. 18.-A plea for
economy by Senator Lodge, Republican
leader, marked senate consideration
Wednesday of the federal aid good
roads bill.
"We must reduce government ex-
penditures," he said, -'and road im-
provement is one field where there
can be delay without serious injury.
"The great need of employment can
be met effectively in only one way,
and that is by a general revival of
business, to which all our efforts
should be directed," he said.
It is Senator Lodge's opinion that,
with the reduction in army and navy
appropriations, the -United States can
well afford to limit highway expendi-
,tures also, in oder to promote gov-
ernment economy.
:Whimsies Plans
E ssay Contest
Whimsies, Michigan's purely literary
magazine, will start its second year
with the November issue, and will be
Issued bi-monthly thereafter during
the coming college year.
The publication began last.year a
a mimeographed perpdical, issued
anonymously, and was distributed free
of charge among certain members of
the faculty. Its third number came
out in magazine makeu, and by way
of being something different was de-
voted exclusively to verse, in an effort
to show just how much work was be-
ing done in this fied."
This coming year the magazine will
continue its effort to present the best
in student writing. Material which Is
publishable elsewhere' will be given
protection by the copyrighting of each
issue. Verse, essays, one-act plays,
short stories that are different will
fill its pages. Since Whimsies aims
to be a representative abroad of stu-
dent' Michigan, student efforts only
will be actively solicited.
A distinctive feature ofWhimsies is
that it does not carry any advertising
matter.
The directors of the publication are
planning an essay contest to be held
early in the fall. The best essays sub-
mitted will be given a prominent place
in an early issue of the magazine.
IMMEL'S PUPILS
GIVE EFFECTIVE
READING PROGRAM
Students of the class in interpreta-
tive reading, under the direction of
Prof. Ray K. Immel, of the public
speaking department, presented a
number of reading in a program of
widely varied character at their pub-
lic exhibition given Tuesday evening
in Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
"When Melinda Sings,", one of the
better known of Paul Dunbar's pic-
tures of negro life, was given by Miss
Skinner, and was followed by a few
measures from an old negro spiritu-
elle, "Swing )Tow, Sweet Chariot."
The second number- a reading of
Edwin Markham's "Lincoln," by Ed-
ward Gerlach, was done in an effective
manner. Following this were two se-
lections, "Enoch Arden," and James
Whitcomb Riley's "Out to Old Aunt
Mary's," given by Miss Ward and Miss
DeWitt, respectively.
Four numbers from Kipling, read

by Miss Leonard, Miss Cobb, Miss
McCall, and Mr. Scott, were well re-
ceived by the audience,
The concluding number on the pro-
gram consisted of two old but popu-
lar readings, Henley's "Invictus," and
Robert Louis Stevenson's "Requiem,'
given by Miss Troester.

Meetings
"With the addition of 6 new courses,
making a total of 12 and aggregating

Electives Included
"A minimum 'of 18 hours work in
this department, a maximum of 21
hours. and electives aggregating some
14 hours furnish more academic work
in journalism than is offered in any
other college," Prof. Brumm continued.
"Instruction in typesetting and kin-
dred pursuits are left for the trade
sihnool."
Edwin Burroughs, a graduate of
Cornell -"university and late of the

Hanes' desire to make Ann Arbor his
home. Ben W. Lewis, '22, a reading
assstant, will have charge of the Jour-
nalism files.
Prominent Journalists Will Speak

"The Balkan situqtion remains justt
as unsettled as it ever was," declared 1
Prof. W. A. Frayer, of the history de-
partment, in his lecture on "The Un-
solved Balkan Problem," given at 51
'clock Tuesday afternoon in the audi-J
torium of the Natural Science building.
"The problem of the Balkans is cre-I
ited by the presence of the Turks in
southeastern Europe," said Professor)
Prayer. "Russia, Greece, Bulgaria,
Roumania, Serbia, and Austria-Hun-.
gary are tie countries mainly involvedh
n the matter. Whoever controls thet
straits, the Dardanelles, and the Sea
f Marmora has the key to the outlet
of Russia, and so Russia's policy is;
reasonable.
Austrian Sittiation Different 1
"Austria's situation is different.
Bismarck told the Austrians to face
south, and they have been doing so
ever since. Since Bismarck's retire-
ment they have had the concealed am-
bition to own the Balkans. The Greeks
are ,the most interested, as they have
always considerfd Byzantium to be
the center of Greater Hellas, and their
recent national spirit has made them
wrant it back."
Professor Frayer then gave a few
facts relative to the geographical na-
ture of the country and concerning the
people 'themselves. He said that the
people belonged to the' nations they
wished to belong to. "All the careful
measurements of cephalic indices in
the world will not determine race. It
is a matter of co-operation," he de-
clared.
Each Desires Macedonia
"Greece, Bulgaria, Roumania and'
Serbia have their own literatures and
are more and more coming to realize
their nationality, and as a consequence
resent the intrusion of the Turks more
each day," said Professor . Frayer.
"After 500 years of submission to the
Turk, Greece broke free in 1821. Bul-
garia became autonomous in 1805 and
free in 1908. The nain Balkan trou-
ble seems to lie in the fact that each
of' the nations d'esires possession of
Macedonia. They have spread much
propaganda to this end, but have
achieved little."
In 1912 came the war between Tur-
key and Italy over Tripoli. The Bal-
kan peoples, saw their chance and
took 'it. The Powers objected, but the
Balkan states paid' no attention, and
succeeded in forcing their way as far,
as the gates of Constantinople. Here
the matterended, for the states would
