TO GIVE ESSAY PRiZES
WILL GIVE FOUR $50 REWARDS
FOR REST ARTICLES ON "WilY

has set aside the sum of $200 to be ex-
pended in four prizes of $50 each, to
four groups of competitors in educa-
tional institutions of Michigan, for the
best essays on the subject "Why the
United States is at War."
Those eligible are: Teachers in
public high schools and elementary
schools, students in normal colleges
and normal schools, students in the
University of Michigan, Michigan Agri-
cultural college, Michigan College of
Mines, and the University of Detroit;

lege of Mines, President McKinney,
Ypsilanti Normal, Hon. Fred L. Keel-
er, Rt. Rev. E. A. O'Brien, and Pro-
fessor VanTyne, president of the so-
ciety.
The method of treatment must be
primarily historical. The essays
should bring to bear on the subject
all, of the essential facts of recent or
remote history relative thereto. They
must be amply fortified with refer-
ences for all important statements,
and be accompanied with a biblio-
graphy of the works consulted. As

ligence with which the available ma-
terial has been used.

In order to enter the contest, appli-
cation must reach the secretary of the
Michigan historical commission, Lan-
sing, on or before Feb. 1, 1918. The

F. H. Frothingham, '14, of the Wash-
ington office of the United States for-
estry service, is in Ann Arbor to con-
fer with the forestry department fac-
alty on methods of supplying Michi-
gan people with wood for fuel next
winter. He has been given charge of
that phase of the fuel situation in
Michigan by the federal government
and will make his headquarters in
Lansing.
The government is looking forward
to another possible coal, scarcity
next winter and is preparing to meet
it by sending foresters to each state
to arrange for a supply of wood for
fuel, according to Prof. L. J. Young
of the forestry department. Frothing-
ham intends to urge the farmers own-
ing woodlots to cut wood this winter
as they do not have the time during
the rest of the year and it is neces-
sary for the wood to dry several
months before it makes the best fuel.
He will appoint assistants in each
section of the state to supervise the
cutting in order to have it done scien-
tifically and not have the woodlots
destroyed. Members of the forestry
faculty will be appointed to take
charge of the work in this. vicinity.
The plan is to have the farmers draw
the wood to the nearest city
to avoid railroad -tie-ups. Profes-
sor Young, said yesterday. that
there is enough wood within
15 or 20 miles of Ann Arbor to supply
this city indefinitely and that it
would improve the wooded sections if
some of the trees were cut.
ENGINEER RESERVE-
OPEN TO CHEMISTS
Prof. William G. Smeaton to Have
Charge of Formation of Local
Corps
Chemistry students taking courses
leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science are eligible for the engineers
reserve corps according to information
received from Washington yesterday
by the chemistry department. This
places them on the same footing as the
engineers who under the late ruling
are not drafted if they enroll in the
corps.
Between 40 and 50 men in the local
college are affected by the ruling. Any
of these who desire to take advantage
of it are asked to confer with Prof.
William G. Smeaton, room 474 Chem-
istry building, between the hours of
9"to 10 o'clock, 11 to 12 o'clock, or 3
to 6 o'clock.
The action at Washington comes as
a result of agitation by chemists, in
which the University had a part. The
men in the corps will be employed
chiefly in munition plants.
