The entire state is engaged in one great contest, between counties, cities, and individuals. Children are given an opportunity to win two prizes. First, a button bearing the design of the Red Cross seal, if they sell 50 seals (in rural dis- tricts, 25). If the child manages to dispose of 200 seals (in rural com- munities, 100), he receives an honor roll medal of oxidized silver. Counties are the keenest competi- tors in their endeavors to secure for themselves the services of a visiting nurse, which will be given for one month to each of the four counties in the state selling the most seals per capita.

ENGINEERING NEWS The meeting of the chemical branch of the Engineering society held last night showed that there was no lack of interest in this department. Dean M. E. Cooley of the {engineering de- partment spoke on "The Mechanical Features ofa By-product Coke Oven." Mr. H. H. Dow of the Dow Chemical Works of Midland gave a very inter- esting talk on "The Evolution of a Chemical Industry." The three upper classes of the En- gineering college will hold their as- semblies this morning. The senior as- sembly will be at 8 o'clock with Mr. H. H. Dow of Midland as the speaker. His topic will be "Manufacturing Con- ditions after the War." The junior assembly is at 11 o'clock and the principal business will be the election of a chairman and three mem- bers for the J-hop committee. The] class will be addressed by Prof. Filbert Roth of the forestry department. The first dinner of the year will be enjoyed by the senior engineers to- night at the Union. Prof. A. H. White of the chemical engineering depart- ment is to be the principal speaker. The committee promises plenty of steak and a good time for all who at- tend. Sipp ers for Dancine FOR.
