Pre-tty Parisienne In pires Mrarines Somewhere in France, May 27. - Aunts, grandmothers, long forgotten cousins, and even mothers-in-law have attained a sudden popularity among the wounded U. S. Marines confined to the base hospitals here, and together with them, letter writ- ing has become the talk of the hour. The reason is the kind-heartedness of a French stenographer, a pretty one at that, who has volunteered to write letters home for the incapaci- tated Marines here. . The. pretty Parisienne makes daily visits to the hospitals for dictation. She has become fully as popular as a letter from home, and under her in- spiration the men have blossomed forth as literary prodigies. See the latest styles in personal' calling cards at James Foster House of Art.-Adv. When a new four cylinder, Packard automobile was introduced to the community years ago, students of the University and citizens of Ann Arbor received the surprise of a life time. The handsome machine was immed- iately made into a taxi, and the proud owner, George Craig, colored, who is a Civil war veteran, had many envious glances cast upon him from rival con- cerns. President James Burrill Angell, de- siring to award "George," as he after- ward came to be known in University circles, for his services around the University, purchased the latest model automobile and started him in the taxicab business. This was about 1908. Whenever a "swell" party was to be given, a trip to be made to and from the station, or couples to be taken to the J-Hops, George was always on hand. Things beagn to "break right," and the wealth of the land was rolling his way. University Obtains Old Machine But a period of laxity soon set in The "tin" machines, which could be it tomobiles, complete and incomplete, in the "automobile heaven." The 195 mechanics have been working on the machines since their arrival at the University. The work, however, has been limited practically to gas engine instruction. Thirty additional autos are expected before June 15. Three Instructors in Work Shop Mr. H. H. Strall, '13M, is now in charge of the gas engine shop work, His assistants are P. W. Steelsmith, '19E, A. D. Althouse, '19E, and A. L. Clark, '18E. Mr. Strall and his assist- ants are largely responsible for the rapid progress the first training de- tachment has made in gas engine con- * *. * The Bonstelle Compani * "Daybreak," at the Garrick * * Majestic-"My Four Germany."

Then, too, the de- licate machinery, which is equipped with a double set of starting appara- tus, valve caps, and other necessary adjuncts, started to fall apart. There was no money in the treasury to make the needed repairs, so George fastened a safety pin here, or a piece of wire there, and let it go at that. The fenders, after witnessing several colli- sions with ungainly telegraph poles, became battered and bent. Early last winter, George's family decided that they had better eliminate the regular Sunday automobile rides- George never operated his bus line on Sunday, for he considered it proper to "keep Holy the Sabbath" by driving his family around the city. The de- cision made, George finally went to work at the Hoover ball bearing works. When the University issued a call for a number of old automobiles, George decided that it would be an ideal bargain to give' his "beloved" car to the first training detachment. Yesterday morning, after the Univer- sity agreed to pay George a certain' specified sum for the Packard, the ma- chine was driven to the "automobile heaven" in the rear of the Engineer- ing building. Men to Have 55 Autos At the present time there are 25 au- struction. Five motors, of all makes, have been sent by the government for the men. Every motor is thoroughly inspected, torn down, and re-assembled in order' to give the men actual work in re- pairing motors. When the men com- plete the course they are expected to fix any part of an engine that might require attention with the aid of a small kit of tools, or with whatever equipment they might possess at the time they are summoned to put the machine in first class condition. Nine of the 55 automobiles will be given to Prof. Albert R. Bailey. They will be used exclusively by the men of the second training detachment" studying the lighting ignition system of automobiles. New Buildings Being Erected Work on the new wooden buildings, which are cantonment style, is pro- gressing rapidly. One of the houses, which will be the smaller of the group, will be devoted entirely to the study of chassis and chassis repairing. This particular building, despite the. fact that the plans were drawn by a tniversity student, had to be partially rebuilt by the training men, due to a mistake discovered in the plans after the construction had commenced. The new buildings have a solid con- crete foundation. The concrete is more than a foot above the ground, and about a foot in thickness. The con- crete was poured several weeks ago, and after it had settled firmly, the progress of construction was rapid. The men working on the buildings were formerly employed on the new extension of the Homoeopathic hos- pital. They are in the carpentry squad, and have shown a great deal of en- thusiasm in "learning the new trade," for many of them never handled a carpenter's tool before they enlisted in the detachment. AT THE MAJESTIC At a recent supper at the Harvard club, Theodore Roosevelt told the gathering of New Yorkers that no ambassador he could recall, except Charles Francis Adams, who repre- sented the United States in London during the- Civil War, had occupied so difficult a post as Mr. Gerard's at Berlin. "That every American did everything that a nation could possi- bly do to keep out of the war with- out dishonor is poignantly shown in the big film production of Mr. Ger- ard's book, 'My Four Years in Ger- many,' said Col. Roosevelt. The pic- ture goes back to the beginning' of the war cloud in Germany and shows the pitiless charity of incidents that forc- ed America into battle. The film is being shown at the Majestic again today.

ZWERDLING adies' Tailor and Furrier iberty Established 1904 ADDITIONAL 5PORTS- BIG TEN MEET NEXT ON TRACK PROGRAM The Michigan track team started on its last lap yesterday when it be- gan preparationsr for the next big 'meet on the schedule, the Big Ten meet on June 8. Steve said yesterday that it was very likely that a team would not be taken to the Eastern inter-collegiates next Saturday. The Athletic board will probably vote not to send the Maize and Blue squad to Philqdel- phia, although the athletes have been showing up well enough to make a good showing in the eastern city. In the contest with the Maroons last Saturday, the Wolverines had everything their own way, and at no time was the result of the meet in doubt after the first event of the day. Coach Farrell said that his athletes displayed the best form shown so far this year. Runners Improve Johnson, of course, did all that was expected of him. He took first in four events and was tied for first honors in the high jump. The Michi- gan star was not pushed very hard in any of the other events which he won. Messner came through with the unexpected and defeated Chica- go's bunch of good quarter milers. Messner is improving with every meet, and by the time the Conference struggle rolls around, he should be in condition to give the best 440 yard dash men in the West a hard run for first place. MR.
