marines to Be
Built
,shington, Nov. 1.-The navy de-
nent today opened bids for four
; cruisers and 30 coast defense
arines. The scout cruisers, to
nown for the present as Nos. 4
inclusive, will be the largest and
st vessels of their class built for
navy. Their chief characteristics
be: Displacement, 7,100 tons;
1, 35 knots; length, 550 feet; beam,
et; arnament, eight 6-inch guns,
torpedo tubes and two 3-inch
aircraft guns; complement, 330.
r high-powered machinery will be
acted by light vertical and horn
al armor.
new feature of these vessels, never
porate4 in any ship of a power-
nilitary type, will be their com-
equipment for carrying and
ching of the largest size hydro-
planes.
,enty-seven of the coast subma-
s will be of the usual type. They
be known for the present as Nos.
o 104 inclusive. The remaining
e, Nos. 105 to 107, will be of a new
representing a marked increase
ze over the usual coast submarine.
i of these three vessels will rep-
nt different ideas. It is hoped in
development to arrive at a size
essel which will be sufficiently
s to perform nearly all the duties
ired of a submarine, but at the
e time sufficiently small to be built
kly in large numbers.
Campus in Brief
Mr. W. W. Bishop, chief librarian of
the Library, will speak twice tomor-
row before the State Teachers' as-
sociation, which holds its convention
this year at Grand Rapids. The first
address will be given to the English
teachers section and the second to
the library section. Both will be on
the same subject, "Library Extension
Service."
The concrete for the first floor of
the west wing of the Library addition
has been successfully poured. It will
now undergo the hardening process
which will take nearly a week. Stone

and work has started upon it.
The forestry department of the Uni-
versity has ordered from the Ham-
mond Lumber company of Eureka,
Calif., a cross-section of a large red-
wood tree. The section will be more
than 20 feet in diameter and will have
to be shipped in parts and then glued
together by the foresters in the Uni-
versity. According to Prof. L. J.
Young, of the forestry department, this'
section will represent a tree that is
more than 2,000 years old. It will be
put on exhibition in the forestry rooms
in the natural science building this
month.
The officials of Yale University have
written to Prof. W. H. Hobbs, of the
geology department, asking for his

leges. Professor Hobbs has not an-
swered them as yet. His reply will be
published later in The Daily.

AT THE MAJESTIC
Spice and clever acting will be the
op liners of the bill which opens at
ie Majestic tonight. It is a diversi-
ed bill and one that contains plenty
f comedy.
The bill is headed by "Those French
irls," the Amoros Sisters. It would
e an easier task to tell what they
on't do than to describe their work.
'hey sing, dance and give physical
ulture demonstrations. Their acro-
atic stunts are amazing. They inject
iuch comedy into their offering.
The Dan Bruce and Marge Duffety
ompany will present a sensational
omedy playlet called "A Corner in
Vireless." It shows the reaction of a
usiness man's platitudes upon'him-
elf. It is a story of modern business
nethods now in vogue. It is a story
rith a love thread throughout the play
en plenty of laughter and melo-
rama.
Murphy, Howard and Rudolph have
.ne of those acts that never fail to
lease the Majestic audiences. They
re three harmony singers, with two
lever soloists. Their,songs are well
selected,
Hope Vernon, is a songstress and
as a violin. You think that you have
.eard violinists, but with the fiddle
.nder her chin, the fingers of one
.and carefully moving over the frets
he other manipulating a bow, she
roduces with her voice tons which
yen the most careful observers de-
lare come from the violin.
Henry and Adelaide have a very
ood selection of dances. They call
;hem the hurry up kind. The feature
f the act is the man chafging from
vening dress to a business suit, in-
luding shoes, while dancing.
Seats are now on sale for Tuesday
ight. . Two shows will be reserved
.nd complete returns will be read
rom the stage.
