Hutchins has received a letter from Warren J. Vin- ton, grad, who sailed for France shortly after the Christmas vacation, and is now in Paris as volunteer sec- retary to Prof. C. B. Vibbert, secre- tary of the Michigan bureau of the American University Union. Among the things described was the condition of Paristdurg war times, the character of the French people, and a banquet for Michigan men, at which Professor Vibbert acted as toastmaster, William Graves Sharp, '81L, the present ambassador to France, the guest of honor, and 34 men at the table. Paris Calm "Francecompletely upset all my preconceived notions of a nation at war," says Vinton. "I don't know exactly what I expected, but I cer- tainly supposed life would be very different from the normal, and that signs of war would appear on every hand. Exactly the opposite is true. In Paris one would hardly believe that the greatest war of all time is only 60 miles away. Prices Normal "The shops are full of everything; meals, though subject to restriction, are bountiful and excellent; and pric- es have not risen too greatly. Cer- tainly not at all in the proportions in which they have risen at home. Union Work Increases "The work of the Union and of the Michigan bureau increases every day, and the number of visitors increases continaully. Both Professor Vibbert and myself are kept busy from early morning until midnight. Visiting with Michigan men who drop in, telling them the latest news from home and from their friends in France is, we think, most important and worth while. Our bureau being the best in- formed on Paris and French affairs, and having two men who speak French, has become one of the cen- ters of activities." WORK IS BEGUN ON MECHANICS BUILDING Foundations have been laid for the new building being erected south of the engineering shops to accommodate the army mechanics to be sent here in June. The rough carpenter work on the new building is being done by the men now training as carpenters in the engineering shops. They are under the supervision of the skilled work- men of the buildings and grounds de- partment. Chassis work, consisting of the as- sembling and repair of automobile and truck chasses, will be carried on in the new shops, 10 cars having already been brought from near by towns- for this work. It is estimated that 40 more will be needed for the instruc- tion of the men. Most of the cars received are in running order and are being driven into town by men from the gas-engine group of mechanics now training in the engineering col- lege under Mr. W. E. Lay. "The men are getting valuable haul- ing and 'first aid' experience in this work," said Mr. Lay last night. WOMEN'S LEAGUE TO FURNISH $W90 TOWARD DORMITORY DEBT Five hundred dollars on the Alum- nae house debt will be paid by the Women's League as the result of a decision reached at a meeting held last Saturday. The money is to be raised as soon as ,possible. The possibility :s that most of the money will be raised from the various classes through the pledgint of the girls' social tax. Oth- er plans are being considered and will be made public in the near fu- ture. Free Exhibition of the celebrated Medici Color Prints no~w on display at the James Foster House of Art.---Adv 200 E. Washington Ann Arbor 117 Paarl Ypsilanti SUMMER POSITIONS FOR0 ENGINEERS NUMEROUS PROF. H. E. RIGGS HAS MANY REQUESTS FOR UNDER- GRADUATES Engineering students have every op- portunity to comply with the request of the national service committee of the college that they spend the sum- mer months in useful work. Prof. Henry E. Riggs, of the engineering college, who returned from Grand Rapids last Saturday night, said, "I have no doubt that we can place every student who applies for a summer pos- ition before June 1." Requests from all parts of the country are on file in Professor Riggs' office, asking for men to fill positions paying from $60 to $150 a month. The army and navy departments are the heaviest bidders for men, while in- dustrial corporations, municipalities, and smaller universities are in great need of undergraduates and seniors to fill places emptied by the draft. Nitrate Division The most attractive proposition is that of the nitrate division of the war department, which offers sophomores, juniors, and seniors $110 a month and expenses to act as rodmen on the $60,- 000,000 explosives plant now under construction near Charleston, W. Va. In his letter to Professor Riggs, the superintendent states that 11,000 men are being used to rush the plant to completion. Students accepting. this position will be excused for the re- mainder of the term. Signal Corps Needs Men The signal corps is in need of me- chanical draftsmen of some experience and offers $1,800 a year for work in the airplane engineering department. Gas-engine men are wanted by the bureau of navigation for specialtrain- ing at' Columbia university and with the Packard Motor Car compnay on Liberty motors. Other applications are being receiv- ed every day. The engineering stu- dent can now pick his position for the summer. MILITARY NEWS Prof. Henry C.
