State St. Store Nickels Arcade COMPLAINS OF 'LEGS' FRESHMAN STATES THAT LIBRARY CHAIRS ARE "SNUBBERS" MANY MINUS Editor The Michigan Daily: Hunbly, as becoxmes my station, I would like to call attention to a need which must already be apparent to everyone. About a third of the chair legs -in the Library reading room have rub- ber caps or "snubbers." The effect is as though there were none at all. The mere fact that home of the chairs are euipped with these noise throttlers is indication that the Powers That Be have at some time recognized their value; not only as aids to concentra- tion, but as checks upon otherwise unavoidable disorder which is not proper in a place of study. The cost of equipping all the chair legs with rubber tips certainly would not be staggering, and the writer can hardly think of an equally small ex- penditure which would result in more proportionate good to a large number. Benjamin Franklin evidenced an an- preciation of the value ofT "iittle things" when, as a private citizen, he proposed a plan for the regular sweep- ing of the street crossings of Phila- delphia, and showed the town board how to increase the effectiveness of the corner lamps. Enboldened by the ex- ample of a great man, I venture the above suggestion, in the honest hope that it will be seen by some one who is in a position to "start something," and is not above receiving a sugges- tion, however lacking in originality or point, from a FRESHMAN. CONFER DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF LAWS ON EDISON BY 'PHONE University of the State of New York Is Giver of Honor Albany, N. Y., Oct. 24-The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred by telephone on Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, by Dr. J. H. Finley, presi- dent of the University of the State of New York, at the closing of the insti- tutions fifty-second convention. Mr. Edison was in his laboratory while the degree was being conferred. This is the first case on record in which a university degree was con- ferred by telephone, and Mr. Edison is the second person to recieve a'de- gree of Doctor of Laws from the Uni- versity of New York, the only other holder of this degree being former' United States Senator Elihu Root. To Hold Dance in Combined Gyms' The Union will hold a big dance in the combined gymnasiums on the night of the Pennsy game, Nov. 18. This dance will be for Union members only.

Will Conduct Charity Re- ilef for Stricken People in Near East Pastors last Sunday urged their congregations to contribute heartily to the "Armenian Relief Fund" day, which is to be held between the hours of 10 and 2 o'clock on Saturday, Oc- tober 28, under the auspices of the University Y. W. C. A. Untold misfortunes have been ex- perienced by the Armenian and Syrian peoples, but at the present time the conditions are more horrible than ever. Women and children have been deported by the thousands, while the men have been led away in groups outside the villages and killed with axes and clubs. On one occasion 10,- 000 Armenians were taken out in boats, batteries of artillery trained on the boats as targets, and the entire company killed. The Armenians in the United States are endeavoring to solicit financial aid for their kinsmen at home. Last Sat- urday was proclaimed as a national relief day by the president for the stricken Christians of Turkey, and it is hoped that the monetary returns will add greatly to the amount that is needed to raise the persecuted peoples to the standardized conditions of liv- ing. Former Ambassador Henry Morgenthau said that $5,000,000 is nec- essary to furnish food, clothing, and shelter. According to statistics, one dollar will keep one person alive one month, and 25 dollars will enable an Armenian family to be established in comparative comfort. EMMA GOLDMAN TO SPEAK Famous Woman Anarchist to Talk on Russian Literature Friends of Miss Emma Goldman an- nounced yesterday that she would ap- pear in Ann Arbor on Dec. 4, 5, 6, and 7, to conduct a course of six lectures on Russian literature. Miss Goldman, who spoke last year on "Nietzsche, the Intellectual Storm Center of the World" and "Birth Con- trol-Why and How Small Families Are Desirable," was well received by her audiences on both occasions, and her coming is looked forward to by those interested in the literature of Russia. That she is qualified to take the lectureplatform is proved by the fact that she has given a number of lectures in Pittsburg and Washington on the subject of "The Modern Drama." Miss Emma Goldman is the author of "Anarchism and Other Essays" and of "The Social Significance of the Modern Drama." She is also th'e pub- lisher of the Mother Earth magazine. OR.

Next t, Orpheum Every Alumnus to Pledge Sum Support of Eastern University for SERVICE ,_ r - - . Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 24.-"A mil- lion dollars for Syracuse university" is the watchword of the promoters of a living endowment plan which is be- iig fostered among Syracuse alumni all over the country. The first an- nouncement of this plan was made some time after the university opened this fall, and it has already reached large proportions through the en- thusiastic support of the alumni. The plan is for every alumnus of the university to pledge whatever sum he feels he can afford for the support of the university, the total amount be- ing one million dollars. No man pays his pledge in full, however, but pays the university the interest on his pledge each year, at the rate of five per cent. An alumnus who pledges $1,000 pays $50 each year toward the support of the university. A clause is included in each pledge signed by the alumni, by which pay- ments may be deferred or even discon- tinued in case of serious financial re- verses over which the pledge has no control. This same plan, or a similar one has been adopted by the alumni of many state universities and other edu- cational institutions. Oberlin first in- augurated the living endowment sys- tem, and Princeton has met with great success through a similar plan. 84 MEN CLIMB EIGHT-MILE MOUNTAIN PATH IN TWO HOURS It is our consis'ait endeavor to keep a full and entensive stock of all last-word models throughout the season, but THIS is the time when the stock i, freshest and most fascinating.

JORDAN ENDORSES WILSON Says Policies Will Win Favorable Ver. dict From History The Daily Maroon, the college paper of the University of Chicago, prints the following letter of Dr. David Starr Jordan, endorsing Woodrow Wilson. The' letter has been sent out to col- leges and universities all over the United States and to individual col- lege men. "I am much interested in the growth of political clubs within the univer- sities, not as partisan organizations, but as associations of men and women competent to weigh the issues of the day and of the future of democracy, while they themselves are becoming increasingly fitted for wise counsel and action. "With regards to party differences and previous affiliations, I believe with you that the highest interest of the republic' will be served by the re-elec- tion of President Wilson. I recognize that in the large elements of his policy, domestic and foreign, President Wilson has striven to gain the final favorable verdict of history. "There can be no nobler aim than this in national administration and this favorable verdict Mr. Wilson will secure and will deserve. "DAVID STARR JORDAN." I ACCEPTS HUGHES' ANSWEI Prof.' Van Tyne Thinks "Hyph Will Be Disappointed To the Editor of The New York Times Some six weeks ago you published a letter of mine expressing my un willingness to support Mr. Hughee unless by some unequivocal utterano he made it impossible for any reason able "hyphenate" voter to claim hin as the logical candidate of'those wh demand subservience to Germany. Hi recent reply in Louisville to the ques tion as to what he would have don in the case of the Lusitania is ver: satisfactory to me. Any "hyphenate" whose mind work so regardless of the rules of logic ao to conclude that Mr. Hughes would have solved our diplomatic contro versies with Germany more to Teutonic taste than has President Wilson is wel come to his delusion. As for me, shall vote for Mr. Hughes and exped to see him show moral courage ever in the face of "frightful" Germany, the international "Bugaboo Bill." C. H.

Dr. Paul Harrison, who has recent- ly returned from Arabia where he has been doing social work among the natives, will be in Ann Arbor from Saturday, Oct. 28, until the following Monday. While here he will talk be- fore the various campus medical clubs and fraternities in an effort to interest some of the students of the medical school in the work which he has been carrying on, and if possible to get some of them to accompany him when he returns to Arabia. The American Magazine recently published a two page article, includ- ing a cut of Dr. Harrison, on the work which the doctor has been doing among the people of Arabia. Among other things it tells how Dr. Harrison won his way into the hearts of one particular tribe of the Arabians by saving the life of the chieftain of that tribe. While in America the doctor will visit all of the best medical schools in an attempt to secure aid in the work. Upon his return to Arabia he will seek a way to penetrate a section of that country never before visited by a white man. Leave your film at the Delta. ect3 to 29 Santo Domingo, Oct 24.-In a test of endurance, conducted by Lieutenant Kingston, of the United States marines in Haiti, to determine the staying powers of his men, 118 men, ranging in age from 19 to 52 and carrying the regulation field equipment, were given the test of ascending a steep mountain path, approximately eight miles, with- in a two-hour limit. Eighty-four men accomplished the feat in the prescribed time, and of those, 20 per cent were veterans of 44 years and over. The average age of those who succeeded was 29 years, while the percentage of tenderfoot re- cruits among the losers reduced their average to 24 years.

Ann Arbor 's Hans Sachs Writes Poem (Written by Dr. Tom Lovell, Oct. 24, 1916, copyright reserved.) It can never be withdrawn unless it's put in A dollar to say it's mine, So take my tip and commence at once To have one in to find. Then it will give you an appetite, To never rest not until One is meant for a dollar to reach To meet your honest bills. You may be poor to say I can't, Never get a dollar to put away, That's what the tempter always says, To one who will never try. So shut your ears from listening to Procrastination that wants You to put off to another day From making the first account. In this country of fame to make a man Of you to rise to gain, A position of trust to be put in If as poor as Lincoln once was, Who rose from a little wooden hut To the house that's white by name, Where President Wilson is found to- day With a personality without a stain. This country with its rocks and rills Its mountains and its plains, Speaking to young men in powerfu voice To become brave to stand, By giving their strength for a nobl( name To keep this country from stain, Like the fathers who started it Who came this side of the waves.
