L. Dustheimer, of Baldwin Wallace college, who is conducting courses in the University this summer. Uses Slides Professor Dustheimer, by means of slides, showed a number of the large observatories of the world, the first of which was the Mount Wilson observa- tory in Los Angeles, the site of which was chosen by Professor Hussey, who up to the time of his death was the head of the department of Astronomy of the University. Here the world's largest +telescope and the branch of this Observatory located at Bloemfon- tein, Africa. Photographs' of different planets were shown including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus. The sun was also discussed and the statement nmade that it was 1,300,000 times larger than the earth. Shows Nebulae of Orion In discussing the Nebulae Professor Dustheimer showed a great number of these, particularly those of Orion, which he stated was geometrically hard to study, but it had been deter- mined that it was six light years across, a light year being the dis- tauce that light will travel in one year. BIG TAX CUTTING POLICY PLANNED (By Associated Press) RAPID CITY, S. D., July 28.-A slash of 1 or 2 per cent in the recent corporation tax seems destined to form the keystone of the prospective tax reduction program. Administration leaders who have conferred here with President Cool- idge have put this move down as one of the first to be considered in the tax-cutting planned for next session. Some Democratic leaders favored such a reduction last session and so Socecerted action on this point, at least appears probable. Other points which seem likely to gain administration favor Include re- ptal of the remaining was "nuisance" levies, including those on theater ad- missions and club dues. However, a ro wis impending on elimination of the automobile passenger car tax. Republicans who have come here have indorsed a cut in this tax, now amounting to 3 per cent, but none have gone on record for its repeal. Wile no administration plan will be announced until after the presi- dent has conferred with Chairman Green of the house wyays and means committee and Secretary Mellon-and there may be none even then-it has ben argued by those who came to the summer White House 'that the total reduction must be held at $300,000,000 or $350,000,000. Pointing to the surplus around! $600,000,000 which was piled up in the treasury during the fiscal year ending June 30, some Democratic leaders have indicated there would be a fight to make the total slash at least $500,- 000,000. A larger reduction was sought by Democrats two years ago. Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the finance committee, says a reduc- tion in the 13 1-2 per cent corporation tax to 12 per cent will cost the gov- ernment $150,000,000, or half of the total cut in taxes he favors.

A lady dominated by one, impelling ambition, a desire for pow- er which was not social or political, but was a personal one, that could mold and eventually ruin men, puh- sued by one great flaw in her char- acter, cowardice, she is one of the most overwhelming creatidos of the modern stage. tI is her failure to satisfy her desire, and the pitiful sur- 7 render in the debacle of her death, which furnishes the essential conflict of the tragedy. Hedda sought with inhuman craving to establish her hold on man and though the gifts of her mind were great, she could not control even the vaporings of her husband fool. Her one conquest turned to ashes in her -CONTRACTS FOR NEW FIELD HU EARE LET Palmer Construction Company of Grand Rapids Is Awarded Con- tract For Intramural Building OPEN TO STUDENTS The new intramural sports build- ing, to be used to house the extensive program of, indoor athletics for male students and faculty pembers, will soon make its appearance where the old north football stands formerly istood on Ferry Field, and in six months it will be the scene of bustling activity. The new building will cost approx- imately $700,000, Director; Fielding H. Yost has announced, and, the building committe of the board in control of athletics has announced that the'new athletic unit would be built by Palmer Construction Co. of Grand Rapids, Mich. The contractors promise com- pletion by Jan. 15, 1928, in plenty of time for use throughout the entire secon dsemester of the coming school year. Open To Students The new intramural sports build- r , s hands. Eilert Lovborg was the one man whose most minute impulse she could control, but his inglorious death broke the hold she exercised. Every- thing she touched in her heatless pas- sion for power turned to eventual ruin. Her own death, a cowardly sur- render to convention which her mind urged her to ignore, but which her temperament, could not overlook, a surrender dictated by her fear of scandal, and her unwillingness to bear the responsibilities of life, is the final touch of Ibsen's great tragedy. Miss Kearns Plays Well Miss Kearns gave a subtle and sym- pathetic interpretation of the conflict which raged in the mind of Hedda. Icily dispassionate, without a single virtue to redeem her, a vampire who sucked the blood of those whom she could not otherwise control, her inter- pretation was marvelous. Her treat- *ment of the scene in which she burned the manuscript in response to the basets impulse of her nature, and the eventual horror which followed in the wake of her act, epitomized the con-- flict in Hedda's mind even as the pis- tols symbolized her very character, and it gives hint of a deeper nature to the woman than one would expect to find. It was this subtlety which Miss Kearns was able to portray with stunning effect. Indeed, one might say that it was a new Hedda which she created, for behind the remorse- less hate which often dominated her, there was a hint of feminine weak- ness, a woman, not a fiend, whose very complexity was an enigma to herself. The one decent impulse of her life, her love for Lovborg which she could not understand, was strangled by a jealousy which was equally puzzling , to her. Others Do Well Several other members of the cast responded admirably to the tempo set by Miss Kearns. Throughout, her's was properly, the dominating figure, though Amy Loomis as Mrs. Elvsted, and RobertHenderson as Loveborg were excellent, while Miss Horine as Aunt Julia, after a first flurry of ner- vousness gave a very sympathetic reading. The whole production was the most1 ambitious undertaking, and in some respects one of the most remarkable attempted in Ann Arbor. The inex- cusable sloppiness which was pain-f fully obtrusive in Fanny was smoothed over; the slip shod directing which made the other play poor, was re- placed by a most carefultattention of detail. The directing tonight em- phasized the essential unity of the play, and the acting of Miss Kearns carried out that unity to produce a most pleasing whole. There can be but one legitimate complaint, the spots in the footlights would seem to defy every canon of thearic art; the shad- ows they cast on the set, the distor- tions of the faces as they move across the beam of light are a matter which more careful directing would obviate. STANDARDIZED TESTS FOR PUBLIC SCHlOLS WILL B E ON DISPLA NEW MENTAL MEASUREMENTS GIVEN UNDER BUREAU OF EDUCATION WILL MEET IN AUGUST Rural Superintendents and Principals Will Discuss Individual Adjustments -A display of standardized educa- tional and mental tests will be held in Room 112 University High school dur- ing the first wek of August, under the auspices of the Bureau of Educational Reference and Research. Copies of all tests used in the Michigan Co- operative Testing program and copies of other standardized tests designed for elementary and high schools will bet on display. Superintendents ,su- pervisors, principals and teachers in rural schools are particularly invited to attend. The material will be on display from 3 to 5 on August 1 to 4 inclusive. Comparisons Unfair In many communities a comparison of the work of the school with that in other cities of the same size is un- fair as a whole because of special so- cial and economic conditions which affect a school favorably or unfavor- ably. In such schools the need for measurement is more acute than in schools which a'e niore nearly typi- cal. By comparison of the scores in one year with those - in preceding years the general trend in the school will be revealed. The most important use of the test- ing program in cities of all sizes and conditions will be, the measurement ' of the progress of individual students. The testing program enables the schools to make individual adjust- ments much earlier than would be possible without much testing. 3 Use Grade Levels In the smaller schools the com- parison of the pupil's score with the average score for Michigan is facili- tated by the use of Michigan grade- levels prepared for the tests used in the Michigan Co-operative Testing program. In addition to the elementary school program which has been conducted] by the Bureau for a number of years, a testing program in the high schools has recently been established. The rapid growth of the high school pro- gram is an indication that it is fillingI a real need in the high school field. FORD MAGAZINE CLOSES CAREER' (By Associated Press) DETROIT, July 28.-In apparentl sympathy with earlier announcements that the Dearborn Independent, here-1 tofore considered the official mouth- piece of Henry Ford, would be turned It into a house organ not for general circulation, Henry Ford has orderedr dealers to halt subscriptions to the publication. 4 The order was contained in a letter received by most dealers Tuesday.It tersely ordered discontinuance of furI. ther soliciting for subscriptions and return of subscriptions already made. Official support of any intention to restrict the Independent to the Ford organization was lacking at the busi- ness offices of the publication and elsewhere. The agencies have been required to obtain subscriptions for the Indeapendent as well as to sell cars and tractors.

Eight men remain- ed tonight of the 32 starting play this morning, two of them playing in their first tournament. In the carnage of the day, Carlton Wells, three times a champion, and James B. Standish, four times a title- holder, went down to defeat as did William Courtney, runner-up last year and 1927 Dertoit municipal champion. Others to fall included Harry Allen, once runner-up, and Howard Tryon, who was the junior champion last year, and others almost as well known. Bergelin Plays Well Out of the play of the day the work of John Bergelin, disposing of Court- ney and Tryon, and playing close to par all the long, weary way, stood out tonight. Bergelin had an eay time disposing of Courtney, but in thedaf- ternoon he met a youth that matched him shot for shot and only owing to an unfortunate selection of clubs on the 18th tee by Tryon, sent the Big Rapids youngster home a winner. The other feature of the day's play was the crusing defeat of Wells by Ward. The champion won on the seventh and eighth greens, as legiti- mately as any match was every won. Le drove the 342-yard green on the seventh and missed an ele two by an inch.
