ITALY PROTECTS ART
WORKS FROM BOMBS
TREASURES OF SISTINE CHAPEL
AND VATICAN MUSEUMS
STILL UNCARED FOR
Rome, March 1.-The most complete
effort to protect works of art from
damage and destruction the world has
ever seen, so it is stated, has just
been finished-,Dy Italy's department of
antiques and fine arts, the head of
which is Corrado Ricci.
The aviation raids of the Austrians
in the early part of the war proved so
harmful that the effort has not been
limited to putting underground or in
bomb-proof storehouses Italy's treas-
ures of paintings and sculptures, but.
an attempt has also been made to pro-
tect cathedrals, palaces and museums
in every city of Italy, by erecting
bomb-proof structures above or out-
side the finer portions of such build-
ings.
So far there has been no effort by
the pope or the rulers of the Vatican
to protect the Sistine chapel or any
other of the Vatican museums filed
with many of the world's most valu-
able paintings, frescoes, bronzes, and
sculptures.
Rome Shields Treasures
Many of Rome's treasures on the
Capitoline hill ad elsewhere have
been shielded or stored in bomb-proof
locations, either in Rome itself or in
secret places in the south of Italy, as
has been the case with many works
of art of north Italy. The vast pro-
tective work undertaken in Venice
three years ago by Ugo Ojetti has
been practically duplicated all over
Italy.
The wall painting of the "Last Sup-
per," by Leonardo di Vinci, in the
church of Our Lady of Grace, at Mi-
lan, more famous than even the pit
ing on the subject by'Rosetti in the
Sistine chapel of the Vatican, both of
which paintings have been widely re-
produced throughout the world, has
been protected in the most careful
manner.
Altars Protected
As church altars always contain
the finest and most elaborate paintings
and mural decorations, great care has
been taken to shield them, as in the
case of the great altar of St. Anthony's
church at Padua, by Donatello. There
is not a valuable altar in all of north
or central Italy which has not like-
wise its covering of sacks and mat-
tresses. In the same manner fronts
of churches remarkable for their
marble and bronze decorations have
been cared for.
"The only reason that will keep the
Austro-Germans from attempting to
destroy art works," said Ugo Ojetti re-
cently, "is the hope that some day
they may be able to steal them. Al-
ready in the Imperial museum and the
Imperial academy at Vienna are 25
paintings of Titian and 15 of Tintor-
etto,
Prof. R. Nelson
Translates lay
Prof. J. Raleigh Nelson of the en-
gineering college is the author of the
translation of Terence's "Phormio,"
the play to be presented by the Clas-
sical club March 27. It was translated
into English by him 10 years ago,
while he was connected with the Lewis
institute of Chicago, for the ,purpose
of adapting it to the modern stage.
The play was produced at that time
in Chicago and received favorable
mention by James O'Donnell Bennett
of the Chicago Herald, and other crit-
ics. This translation, revised for the
purpose pf making the play more
swift-moving and to transpose the
humor from the original into the Eng-
lish idiom, will form the basis of the
play to be staged here this year.
Professor Nelson is at the head of
the English department of the engin-
eering college and has been engaged
in considerable play-writing and play-
producing in Ann Arbor. He wrote,
and directed "The Magic Carpet,"
presented by the Cosmopolitan club
last year in Hill auditorium.
Professor Nelson will assist in di-
recting the Classical club play this
year,
CITY NEWS
Postmaster W. M. Abbott announced
yesterday that he has received orders
from Postmaster-General Burleson
that the allowable weight for parcel
post has been increased to stimulate
the movement of farm products
through the mails and to do as much
as possible for the amelioration of the
traffic situation. The postmaster-gen-
eral says that, beginning March 15,
packages when mailed in the first or
second zones for delivery in the first,
second or third zones may weigh not
exceeding 70 pounds. The weight
limit for all other zones was increas-
ed from 20 to 50 pounds,
Local butchers and grocers, after
several days of deliberation and argu-
ment, have decided to keep their stores
open from 6:30 o'clock in the morning
until 5:30 in the evening. This new
arrangement will take effect next
week. The closing hour has been ex-
tended until 9 o'clock Saturday eve-
ning and the stores will be closed all
day Sunday. Stores not in the Gro-
cers' and Butchers' association will
continue to close every evening at 5
o'clock except Saturday. This plan has
been adopted to meet the 11-hour rule
and to give the employees more time
to do vegetable gardening.
The Ann Arbor high school basket-
ball team will meet the Flint high
school team tonight in what will
probably be one of the fastest games
played on the local floor.
The local selective service board
has been given official instructions to
secure the services of expert photo-
graphers through voluntary induction.
The photographers will be used in
aviation service. Michigan's q-uota is
50 and the local board requests that
experienced photographers who wish
to enter the service apply at the offices
of the board in the county building.
Miss Winona M. Saunders, secretary
of the local Red Cross organization re-
ceived an acknowledgement of the
last shipment of supplies from Ann
Arbor to France. George T. Rice, Red
Cross agent in France, writes as fol-
lows:.
"It gives me great pleasure to ack-
nowledge the receipt of a case of sur-
gical supplies from the Ann Arbor or-
ganization. I wish to assure you it
was most welcome. This is the first
time we have received a shipment from
your good selves and I trust it will
not be long -before we can add more of
your splendid goods' to our supplies,
which are rapidly being called for and
shipped to our base hospitals,"
Thomas O'Brien urges all alien ene-
mies who registered in his office to
call for their identification cards. The
law requires that the aliens retain
the card on their person pt all times
and always be subject to inspection by
an officer.
Members of the, ordinance commit-
tee, after a thorough consideration of
,he- taxi ordinance last Thursday
night, decided on a third reading for
Monday. The vote, however, will be
deferred to some later date in order
that the question may be carefully in-
vestigated before it is voted upon.
Relative to putting curbs in gutters,
a decision was reached to divide the
expense between the property owners
and the city at large. The city attor-
ney was instructed to draw up- the
ordinance for a reading Monday.
Plans were formulated for a build-
ing code in Ann Arbor. This involves
the city regulation for lighting and
construction of public and other build-
ings. The matter was merely discuss-
ed, but action is to be taken later.,
The question of providing a suit-
able ofdinance for oiling the streets in
Ann Arbor during the summer months
met with the favor of the committee,
and as a result of a discussion, they
expect -to decide the question soon.

TROOPS MUST NOT
GIVE INFORMATION
French front, March 1. ' Don't
write about military movements when
comimunicating with your friends or
relatives, for hundreds of sharp eyes
are open to ferret out even the slight-
est indication that might be of use toT
the enemy!"
Soldiers of all nations find difficulty
in following this advice. of the mili-
tary postal control office and feel it a
serious interference with their liberty,
but time and again letters written in
the purest innocence have been found
to contain indiscretions which may
have been of the greatest value to -the
watchful enemy agent. For instance,
in the military zone occupied by the
British troops, where there still are
many civilianS, the Germans were,
through their agents, able to learn from
letters written by the inhabitants the
-positions of many batteries and of the
tank parks, as well as the approxi-
mate idea of the number of troops in
the neighborhood.
Complaints Pernitted
No restriction whatever is placed on
soldiers who express their personal
ideas in their correspopdence. whether
they refer to politics or to their com-
manders or their comrades, and they
are also at liberty to trite. about
things in connection with their ser-
vice which do not reet with their ap-
proval. - In fact, ,the control of the
soldier's letter has brought to the no-
tice of the commanders grievances of
which they otherwise would not have
learned, and in this way has led to
te removal of numerous small causes
of complaint, and the improvement of
the soldier's lot.
Taken altogether the postal control,
of which so many soldiers are apt to
complain, not only assists the author-
ities to prevent leakages which might
be of vital hurt to the national de-
fense, but is of enormous benefit to
the troops themselves, for those in
charge of the work are continually on
the lookout for just grievances among
the men and bringing them to the at-
tention of the army chiefs so that they
may be remedied.
OVER 200 HIGHWAY ENGiNEERS
ATTEND ANNUAL (1ONFERENCE
More than 200 highway engineers
and road commissioners from through-
out the state, attended the fourth an-
nual short course in highway engin-
eering, held .during the past week
under the joint auspices of the Uni-
versity and the Michigan stae high-
way association. The course, which
ended yesterday afternoon, was de-
clared by Prof. J. J. Cox of the high-
way laboratory to have been the most
successful ever given here at the Uni-
versity. The road men were given a-
series of lectures and technical read-
ings by highway experts from New
York and other states, as well as from
Michigan. Many interesting experi-
ments with road materials were per-
formed in the highway laboratory
which occupies the old power house
,near the erngineering building.
