Although - he is interested in many movements toward this end, Mr. Bar- bour feels that the plan of educating oriental women in this country, and sending them back to their homes, car- rying with them in their own way western ideas and ideals, will help most toward making the understand- ing between the Orient and the Occi- dent a real one. V In addition to this fund, Mr. Barbour has presented $150,000 with which to build a new residence for Michigan women. The building will be called Betsy Barbour house, in honor of his mother. It will be located where West hall now stands. Ground for the new building will be broken next spring. *. -Dr. Tom Lovell, Cobbler Poet.

The Union has reached a point where Michigan men may point with pride to the great clubhouse which is to be "For Michigan Men Everywhere." The health service has been remodeled and is now able to serve the students with a greater degree of efficiency. Developments in the line of drama- tics have been nothing unusual. The usual campus performances have been given, although some have made ob- vious the absence of much of the Un- iversity's best talent-another condi- tion which may be attributed to the war god.

There follows this significant statement: Contribution Agreed On "The contribution of the United States to this pooling arrangement was agreed upon. The contribution like- wise of the countries associated with the United States were determined. This pooling arrangement guarante- ed that full equipment of very kind would be available to all American troops sent to Europe during the year 1918." Looking beyond 1918 the Un- ited States will have no need to seek military equipment of any kind away from home. Before the present year ends its full war resources will have been made available. p.

LIVERPOOL RAISES TOMATOES INSTEAD OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS Liverpool, Jan. 2.-A year ago the city of Liverpool decided to suspend) the cultivation of chrysanthemums in the greenhouses attached to public parks, and grow something useful instead. Several acres of glass were accord- ingly assigned to be used for tomatoes. The result of the year's work is an- nounced in a report just published, which states that 10,000 pounds of tomatoes were thus grown, all of which were sent in weekly shipments to about, thirty military hospitals in the Liverpool district.
