State Street at William Street Mr. Freshman: Have you ever won- dered why Coach Yost's crew of foot- ballers wear the title of "Wolverines" whn opposing a gridiron enemy of Michigan's? Do you know that there is a real Orient not over a minute's walk from the Library, where fresh- men are not only not prohibited from going, but are even invited? Do you know that the most gorgeously col- ored product of human manufacture is as plain as a frosh "pot," compared to objects of nature's coloring, right here on Michigan's campus? And could you tell whence sprung the first of the flood of tortoise shell glasses that now add humour to the situation around here? If you don't know these things give that news habit a little exercise, of finding out unknown quantities right away There's nothing mysterious about the method necessary,-just roam into that gray building north of Tappan hall with the sign "Open to Public 3-5:30" any time within those hours, don't back out with fear when you see something big and bony confronting you, but keep on going. This is an ideal place to spring a little time to bring back one's joy in living, after "getting hit" in one of those bi-monthly, combined section quizzes in English history, "Tappan Hawl." Mastodon a Hair Raiser Probably the first eye-opener here will alo take on the form of a hair- raiser. It's a specimen of Mastodon Americanus, a product of our locality, and was born and brought up, as it were, near Ypsilanti. But the latter statement is merely a supposition based on the facts that it was dug up by a farmer from some swampy ground near Ypsi, and because of the voluminity of its skull. In life this animal was taller than two "Tad" Weimans and was as long as a bowl- ing alley. But growing tired of the increasing smallness of things, it died long before Ann Arbor started spend- ing its Sundays at Ypsi. Now we have to accept the estimates of zo- ologists instead of first hand inspec- tion. To gaze upon the specimens of a far distant age is to bring upon one feelings that he ought t be out cut- ting wood with a clumsy stone hatchet to build a fire in his cave and keep all the little caveites warm, or be out chasing a wild deer with a small sized boulder in his hand and murder in his eye. In fact, one starts to button his sheepskin a little closer as the pre-historic atmosphere impresses it- self stronger and stronger upon him. Placed in life-like positions in cases near the mastodon are skeletons of gorillas, both mammoth and little ones, fox squirrels, everlasting ape, Romanic chimpanzee, and the lowly spider monkey. These masters of mimicry are confronted on the other side by a case full of attractively col- ored birds. A "Wolverine" In Museum On the second floor we find every kind of bird known to time, present or past, except the mechanical bird, and the one who flies for cement walls and iron bars with the first strong suggestion of cold days and poor pasturage ahead. Here also is found the answer to the first question of this text-a Wolverine, the trademark of Michigan, stands in a great corner ease with other creatures of Michigan woods. Two great specimens of the deer family, a male and female moose, stand in characteristic poses here, the male with head held high as though listening, female with head lower and expression almost domesticated. Frost colored leaves, dead branches, and scattered stone upon the floor of the cage serve to dispell the museum feel- ing, and to give the animals a native lair background that is irresistable. A person will find himself whirling about several times, as he walks away, to convince himself that there most certainly was not just the semblance of a movement in those large eyes, or a little twitch in one of those thigh muscles.M Are the Deer AlivelI These famous rules of the north woods are so perfectly mounted that such thoughts do actually occur if one You can get those Neolin Soles put on at Paul's Place, 611 E. William, while you wait.-Adv. watches them steadily for a few mo- ments. Herein lies an art that is not1 overrun by masters. The taxidermist is given the hide, to make with it a full sized animal, proportion and shape absolutely true to life. The hide has been tanned and washed on the inside with arsencial soap and is in the same condition that the fur is from which are made ar- ticles of wear. If the exact measure- ments were not taken by the hunter before the animal was skinned, the taxidermist has to figure them out by' means of the hide, and then build body and legs to fit. One does not' need to know much about zoology to' realize that no amateur bungler could put in the natural curves character- istic of the animal in life. Standing with bloody mouth over its victim, a young deer, is the fiercely aggressive form of a grey timber wolf, once such a terror to lonely travelers in the early days of pioneering. A huge skeleton occupying another case nearby suggests the animal tent in a great circus, and particularly the great red wagon wherein dwells the mighty hippo, cause of many a droop- ing stomach, and awed gaze. Here he is, with every rib showing, biggest complete skeleton in the museum. Scattered about are scores of other highly interesting mammal and bird displays, some of extinct species, and others of great scarcity. One of these, a Dimetrodden Incisivus Cope, whose first name sounds pleasantly like a United States mint, hails from the rather wierdly named "Briar Creed Bone Bed," Texas, and is known in speakable language as a fin backed lizard. It boasts a great fin grown out upon its back in the shape of a badly worn palm leaf fan, whose size suggests the mammouth fan that the ancients believed was used to incite the north and south, east and west winds. Bear Nearly Devours Man But leaving behind the mammals we hunt for the elevator again, and again we forego that absent convenience and climb up into what looks from all the Chinese lanterns and woodcarvings hanging about like a metropolitan chop suey. We pass right by a huge bear in the final scene of devouring a man and walk on unconcerned, be- cause they are only wood, you know. At the top of the stairs is a display of ancient pottery made by the In- dians of southwestern United States and of Mexico. In a room open to students of zo- ology are cases of unmounted speci- mens and birds. It is here are found the colors in the plumage of tropical birds and of our own humming birds that no master of art could ever rival. Every angle from which these won-' derful little birds are inspected dis- covers new shades of color. On the south side of the third floor, enter the Orient. No swinging doors here, no backward glance and forward lunge. And 'tis here another problem is solved, to-wit: "Who Wore Them Glasses?" Chess Game in Orient Behold, a rum game, is the first thoug t that hustles across one's mind as his glance falls upon two person- ages seen facing each other at a table, both apparently deliberating whether to chance it all on one splurge or play it safe. Closer inspection reveals a Chinese Mandarin, a military officer, manuevering his corporal's crew of chess-men in battle with a correspond- ing force under the leadership of a so-named "student of literature," upon whom repose the Adam and Eve pair of tortoise shell masks, so popular hereabout. As these two contestants are not on the point of exchanging cards as we first suspected we move on to Dancing from 9 to 12 every Satur- day night at Armory.-Adv.

As a truant officer for the city of Milwaukee, Mr. Peterson was within his right when he ascended the back stairs at 921 Island avenue, in search of defaulting genius, but the peevish canines on guard mistook him for an intruder and proceeded to show their dislike for such. The dogs certainly displayed good team work for ac- cording to the victim they all attack- ed at once, tripped him up and landed him downstairs.

BAND WITHOUT MANAGER; NO PLANS MADE FOR 1917 BOUNCE No arrangements have yet been made for a Band Bounce, though Capt. Wilfred Wilson states that there will be one later in the fall. At present the band has no business manager. Dr. J. B. Wahr, formerly of the German department, who was manager last year, was drafted and is now in the government service. No one has been appointed to take his place as yet. Captain Wilson has been doing the business manager's work thus far, but states that he cannot give enough time to both direct and manage the band. For this reason nothing has been done about a Band Bounce. Captain Wilson expects a successor to Dr. Wahr will be appointed in the near future.

Korean Ziggie Also There There are hundreds of other in- tensely interesting sights of great educational work in this room. Here is shown the Korean Ziggie, the most scientific packing frame for carrying enormous loads that man has ever in- vented to put upon himself. The collection of these thousands of specimens of bygone and present day life and art have been accomplished by the generosity of Michigan alumni, other students of zoology, and for the most part by the efforts of the 'Uni- versity itself. Norman A. Wood, cur- ator of birds, in charge of the museum, every summer conducts expeditions to points on the Great Lakes and adds hundreds of valuable specimens to the stock now on hand. Mr. Wood tells many interesting stories of his experiences in shooting birds while they are "migrating. Great flocks fly north every year over Michi- gan towards Canada, avoiding the wide expanse of intervening water as much as possible by going around over White Fish point, the part of Michi- gan nearest the Dominion. Here Mr. Wood has brought down scores of birds in a short time. It is not possible for every county seattand nearest big town in the coun- try to collect for and maintain an in- stitution comparable to the University Museum, so Mr. Freshman, start now, take your friend with you, and inside of a few weeks you will be following the crowd there. FIVE OFFICERS AND 51 MEN LOST ON BRITISH CRUISER London, Oct. 15.-The British armed mercantile cruiser Champaigne has been sunk, and the mine sweeping sloop Begonia is overdue and regard- ed as lost, says an official statement issued tonight. Five officers and 51 men of the Champaigne were lost, the statement adds. Detroit Nieedy Families First Supplied Young women clerks will be placed on duty at each station house in De- troit for listing and indexing the coal requirements of every resident of their precinct who makes his needs known. Families who have no coal will, of course, be given preference by the administrator, their orders being the first on the list of those whom Mr. Couzens will direct the dealers to pro- vide with fuel.
