Have you ever wondered where and
how the tons of laundering for the
University are done every week?--
where the nurses', physicians', and at-
tendants' uniforms are sent each week,
and who takes care of the hundreds of
towels from the campus buildings?
A short distance from the Univer-
sity hospital, stands a low, flat build-
ing which, in it better days 20 years
ago, was the hospital heating plant,
but has since been made to serve as
the home of the wringer and flat-
iron. This is the University laundry.
To this building is brought every week
all the laundry from the University
hospital, the Homoeopathic hospital,
the contagious hospital, and the state
psycopathic hospital, including bed-
ding, patients' clothing, nurses' uni-
forms, aprons and towels, and in 24
hours it is returned washed and
ironed.
Handles 2,000 Pieces /.
Laboratory coats, towels, aid uni-
forms are all sent there, from 1,500
to 2,000 pieces coming from the
dental department alone each week.
There are 200 nurses' laundry bags
and each nurse is allowed 24 pieces
each week, everything being carefully
checked coming in and going out to
prevent losses.
Twenty-six years ago, when the
laundry was started, six girls did the
work by hand. Today th# plant keeps
28 people busy, in addition to the five
washing machines, three extractors,
and drying tumblers. There are also
four presses each of which does the
work of six girls, ironing an apron in
two minutes and a uniform in three
minutes, while the large flat work
ironer irons 300 sheets per hour.
Make Own Soap
It has been found that besides the
50 per cent saved by the laundry man-
ufacturing its own soap, the laundry
work is done at a saving of about two-
thirds the ,usual cost. In the month
of January 190,000 pieces were laun-
dered and this amount is growing
rapidly. The building has no system
of ventilation, is unsanitary, and is
badly cramped, it being necessary to
operate through most of the night iv
order to obtain sufficient water power,
and to keep up with the work. There

have been two'or three serious fires
in this old building which have caused
serious loss and inconvenience.
To Have New Building
In view of these conditions, and also
of the actual saving which this insti-
tution has meant to the University,
the board of regents has recently ap-
propriated $20,000 to start work on a
new building, for which excavations
have already begun. The building will
be situated on East Washington street
and will be 60 by 72 feet with two
stories and basement. It will be of
up-to-date fire proof factory construc-
tion to harmonize with the new power
plant.
It is expected to be completed by
Sept. 1, and will provide the increased
water pressure as well as added floor
space, and improved working facilities.

her usual custom. The first play will
be Hulbert Footner's "Shirley Kaye."
Corliss Giles will return as leading
man. Other familiar members of the
company are William Pringle, Hugh
Dillman, and Adams Rice.
AT THE WHITNEY
In a play which gives him a pic-
turesque role, Otis Skinner will be
seen at the Whitney theater, May 16,
in "Mr. Antonio." This play was writ-
ten for the actor by Booth Tarkington
and affords unusual opportunities for
the exercise of his talents.
AT THE WHITNEY
D. W. Griffith's spectacular present-
ation of the Civil war period of Am-
erican history "The Birth of a Nation,"
will be again at the Whitney theater
for two days, commencing May 18.
The beginning of the war between
the states, Lincoln and his cabinet,
and the surrender of Lee to Grant are
some of the incidents portrayed in this

be the attraction at the Majestic to-
day. In addition an enlarged orchestra
will give a special music program. All
of the players are well known in Ann
Arbor and upop the campus.
The opening today will be a travel-
ogue and educational film. This will
be followed by a drama that is pleas-
ing from start to finish, "The Family
Honor," with Robert Warwick and
June Elvid as tars. The play
deals with th ma nr in which a man
saves a younget brotlhr from a vam-
pire and 1ow he 1 falls into her
hands.
The closing pit ure will be the last
of a series of athletic programs that
have proved interesting. Winter sports
such. as LaCrosse on ice, curling, and
skiing, with billiard champions and
wrestlers, will be the attraction today.
AT THE MAJESTIC, MONDAY
"Step Lively," a musical comedy,
will be the attraction at the Majestic
three days coming Monday. It has
good music, songs of the whistleable
variety, a plot that is consistent and
filled with comedy, principals who can
sing, dance, and act, and a chorus of
pretty girls who have good voices and
up in all the latest terpsichorean num-
bers.
The cast is headed by Halton Powell
who is well remembered for the pro-
ductions which he has previously pro-
duced over the circuit.

and won one or more "M's" during
previous seasons will be given their
letter for this season's work. As to
the new men, although there are sev-
eral nmen out who would undoubtedly
have received their letter under, nor-
mal conditions, no such rumors are
current and the probability of their
receiving the coveted emblem this
year is even more of an enigma.
"thletic"authorities are rather non-
commital on the subject. Only com-
mendation has been forthcoming for
the way the men have worked and ac-
cepted conditions as they are, when
they had no assurance of any awards
being made, but no such assurance can
be issued until it is officially an-
nounced by the athletic office. The
boardin control meets soon and it is
expected that that body will consider
the question.
There is probably more ground:for
awarding letters to the track men than
to the baseball team. Coach Farrell's
men have met other college and uni-
versity teams in competition during
the season and members of the Varsity
track team have won points for Michi-
gan. However, the track men have not
put in the time that the baseballers
have during the past two months and
from the standpoint the followers .of
Lundgren haye the odds in their favor.
It is possible that some sort of
insignia will -be awarded the men,
whether it is an "M" or something
special. The possibilities are that the
older men will receive their "M" with-
out the stripe and the new members
of the teams a special form of in-
signia.
Those members of the baseball
squad who have played in scrub games
luring the present halted season, have
not competed in intercollegiate ath-
letics and should not be considered as
having added another year -to their
;uota allowed, every man under the
ntercollegiate rules.
