MONEY IS TO HELP PAY PLEDGE
TO AMERICAN UNIVER-
SITY UNION
The biggest affair of its kind at the
University this' year, according to ad-
vance notices, will be the Michigan
Union benefit "carnival" to be given
the afternoon and evening of Wednes-
day, May 29, in the combined gyms.
The real name of the affair has not
been divulged.
The purpose of the "carnival" is to
assist in securing money to help pay
the $1,000 pledge of the University to
the American University Union in
Paris. Dancing and attractions of
every kind, including booths where
refreshments and many strange things
may be bought, will be found at the
"carnival."
In 1902 and . again in 1908, the
Michigan Union held affairs similar to
this, called "country fairs." An exe-
cutive board, consisting of the follow-
ing men, is in charge of the present
preparations: ( A. Loomis Kirkpatrick,

ment; Robert G. Yerkes, '20, dance;
Albert E. Horne Jr., '18, publicity and
advertising; Edwin S. Larson, '20, ac-
countant; R. W. Elliot '18, business
manager; and Donald M. Springer,
'19E, tickets. - .
TOOL EXHIBIT ON DISPLAY
IN ENGINEERING BUILDING
That humble tools of steel and iron
lend themselves readily to decorative
schemes is shown in an exhibit recent-
ly presented to the University by the
Forsbacka Steel works, a Swedish
concern. The exhibit, which is mount-
ed on the second floor of the engi-
neering building, was first shown at
the San Francisco exposition in 1915.
A large open cabinet, extending
from floor to ceiling, is fitted with
concealed bulbs so as to reveal the
details of a Grecian portico, done en-
tirely in rods of tool steel and other
steel products. The tall fluted col-
umns are topped by capitals of differ-
ent sizes of nuts, washers, and discs,
while rows of cams and other discs
form a frieze across the front of the
portico..
In the frame formed by the two col-
umns and root there is a six-pointed
star which radiates shafts of light
represented by an assortment of hol-
low drills of different sizes.
Polished sections of steel pipe and
great spiral screws form a panel on
the front of the cabinet, in the center
of which is an example of the bend-
ing properties of steel, a bar three
inches square being bent double.
Photographs of the company's works
in Sweden complete the exhibit.
CUSTER DISLIKES
OLD MAGAZINES
"The magazines sent to the men in
military service should be of recent
date," says a message .being sent out
from the national army cantonments.
University Librarian W. W. Bishop,
who inspected the library at Camp
Custer Monday, stated yesterday that
most of the periodicals being sent to
the men in the camp are too old to in-
terest the soldiers.
Seven hundred books will be sent
from the University Library to Camp
Custer within the next few days, ac-
cording to Mr. Bishop. This is be-
cause of a plan recently adopted by
the Custer library authorities.
Under this plan a novel is- pre-
sented to each man who is transfer-
red from Camp Custer to another na-
tional cantonment. When the trans-
ferred man arrives at the new camp,
he is supposed to donate the book to
the library there. As these books are
taken by about 90 per cent of the men
who leave the camp, the Custer library
will be in great need of books.
"At present the main library at
Camp Custer contains about 8,000
books. There are also 11 branch sta-
tions. Seven are in the Y. M. C. A.
buildings, three maintained by the
Knights of Columbus, and one in the
base hospital, maintained by the Red
Cross. These branch libraries con-
tain from 200 to 2,000 books each,"
said Mr. Bishop.
Text-books in arithmetic are in
greatest demand at Custer, according
to Mr. Bishop. "When I was there,
every arithmetic in the camp library
was in use. The men in the cooking
school have great need for these books
as every man who becomes a cook
must first pass a test which includes
the principles of arithmetic."
Because he makes the Best

EMPEROR WILLIAM PAYS VISIT
TO CATHEDRAL BEFORE DRIVE
Amsterdam, May 7.- Describing a
visit which Emperor William paid to
Cologne cathedral on March 15 before
the great battle began on the western
front, the Cologne correspondent of
the Tyd says:
"There were only a few persons in
the building. Under high arches and
in spacious solitude the emperor sat
as if in deep thought, before the
priests' choir. Behind him his military
staff stood respectfully at some dis-
tance. Still musing as he rose, the
monarch, resting with both hands on
his walking stick, remained standing
immovable for some minutes. Then
he turned and, without exchanging a
word with his suite, left the cathedral
at their head.
i"Thousands of his subjects hurried
up and gave the monarch a spontan-
eous ovation in the midst of which he
walked to the neighboring istation.
The emperor frequently made the mil-
itary salute but the expression on his
face did not relax and he remained
silent and extremely serious. His face
wore a look of earnest resolution
which was rendered still more strik-
ing by the fact that he has much aged
during the war. I shall never forget
this picture of the musing monarch
praying in Cologne cathedral on the
eve of the great battle."

CNAR SORIAGE IS BARRiER
IN ISTR VTI{)N 01COA--L
During April, Michigan received
27,435 cars of coal of which 3,119 cars
were anthracite, and 24,315 bitumin-l
ous. A shortage of coal cars is prov-
ing to be the worst drawback -to coal1
distribution, and not only the Newi
England states, but the middle west,
are suffering. A liberalsestimate of1
the amount of the decrease in actual
production, since the first of March.,
has, been about 30 per cent. This
means simply that the mines have pro-
duced only about 70 per cent of their
capacity in the last two months.
Another cause for anxiety is the
persistent refusal of domestic con-
sumers to heed the warnings of the
federal and state fuel administrations
to lay in their coal for next winter as
rapidly as possible.
Householders are steadfastly declin-
ing to accept even the best qual-
ities of bituminous coal on the mark-
et, and insist upon anthracite, West
Virginia lump or "smokeless."
Coal production, due to shortage of
cars and labor scarcity has dropped off
greatly during the month of April, ac-
cording to recent reports of the Un-
ited States geological survey.
.1M. C. A. to Give Smoker for Mechanics
A combined musical program and
smoker is planned for the mechanics
enlisted in Ann Arbor this evening in
Lane hall. Members of the Y. M. C.
A., Michigan union and army mechan-
ics are. on the entertainment com-
mittee. Lectures, socials, and smok-
ers will be given every Wednesday
evening at Lane hall.
Two billard tables were loaned to
the Y. M. C. A. by the Grotto Order
of Masons, and are now being used
by the men in service. Mr. Fetter,
secretary of the Y. M. C. A., stated
that old victrolas and records could
be put into use by the association for
the men's entertainment. As 500 en-
listed men are expected here in a
short time the Y. M. C. A. is preparing
to receive them.
NATIONAL "RED CROSS WEEK"
SET BY PRESIDENT WILSON
Washington, May 7.-President Wilson
today issued a proclamation designat-
ing the week, beginning May 20, as
"Red Cross Week, and calling upon
the American people to contribute
generously to the second $100,000,000
war fund, of the American Red Cross,
for the alleviation of suffering among
the American troops in France and
their dependents at home, and among
the fighting forces and civilian popu-
lation of the Allied countries.
Persia Experiences Food Shortage
Washington, May 7.-Conditions in
Persia are described as desperate, in
a dispatch to the state department to-
day from the American legation at
Tehern. Famine is increasing( the
message said, and typhus is prevalent
in most of the cities. The food short-
age, the legation reported, has forced
the population to eat dogs, and ever
practice cannibalism.
Officers of the Adelphi house of rep-
resentatives for next year were elect-
ed by members of the Adelphi debat-
ing society at a meeting held last
night in the club's rooms in - UnIver-
sity hall. They are: Merman A.
August, '19, speaker; Kelsey Guifoil,
20L, clerk; Herbert Neil, '19, assist-
ant clerk; Samuel R. Rosenthal, '20,
sergeant-at-arms; and Herbert Par-
zen, '19, oratorical delegate.
A resolution was unanimously pass-
ed at the meeting by members of the
society setting themselves on record
as favoring the petition of the Athena
literary society to the oratorical board
for representation thereon. A meeting
of the oratorical board will be held
next week, at which time its members
will act upon this petition.
The granting of this petition to the
Athena literary society will secure for
them the privileges of electing a rep-
resentative to the oratorical board and
also of choosing a squad of six mem-
bers to compete along with contestants
from other campus debating societies
for positions on Varsity debating
teams. The Athena literary society is
the first woman's debating society to
be organized at theUniversity.
J. C. Stern, '17, an alumnus of the
Adelphi, was entertained at a ban-
quet held la;t night in honor of the
newly elected officers. The annual

Dr. E. B. Rosa Visits Laboratories
Dr. E. B. Rosa, chief physicist of
the government bureau of standards
at Washington, was in Ann Arbor for
a few hours yesterday and paid a
brief visit to the physical laboratory,
which has been working in co-opera-
tion with the bureau of standards in
some -investigations for several
months.
Dr. Rosa inspected the University
observatory, but was especially inter-
ested in the naval tank which occupies
the basement of the engineering build-
ing.
Dancing Friday and Saturday nights
Regarding the discussion recently
arisen through the failure of univer-
sity women to show proper spirit in
the campus elections last week,
women representatives of the various
women's organizations express them-
selves as favoring an all-campus elec-
tion day.
Doris McDonald, '19, president of
Women's League, says, "I believe the
reason the girls did not vote last week
was because most of them did not
know they were allowed to do so. I
think the women's organizatiois
would be willing to make elections an
all-campus event. They could easily
amend their constitutions. I think
we should have one day only for elec-
tions."
Jane Duemling '19, president of
-women's Athletic Association, says,
"I certainly would be in favor of an
all-campus election day, and I think
perhaps the women's - organizations
could 'change the date of their elec-
tions easier than the men's organiza-
tions could."
Emily Loman, '19, president of the
Y. W. C. A. states, "Inasmuch as this
is a co-educational university, the
men and women ought to work togeth-
er. I think it would show greater co-
operation between them if we had an
all-campus election day. I am not
sure that the organizations them-
selves would be beniefited, but campus
spirit would be' strengthened."
Alien Women to be Regh tered
Registration for alien women will
take place the latter part of the
month, said Mayor Ernest M. Wurster
at a- meeting of the common council
Monday night. He recommended that
a woman clerk-and interpreter be en-
gaged to assist Chief of Police Thomas
O'Brien, who is charged with the
work of registration.
Alderman Sink, the mayor, and the
chief of police were made a special
committee, on motion, to have the
matter in charge with full power to
engage any help which may be desir-
able.
At the meeting it was announced
by City Attorney DeVine that the
capital issue committee of the federal
reserve board had approved the issue
of bonds for the Steere farm water
works. A resolution by Alderman
Lutz, the mayor, president of the
council, city attorney, and finance
committee, made a committee to sell
the bond issue of $200,000, with the
provision that the bonds should be
sold at no less than par, and that the
interest should not be more than five
per cent, was adopted.
