To Lecture Throughout State.

The regents appointed com
mittee for the university extension
work which will be taken up this win
ter, with SEQ lectures throughout the
state. 1t is work intended to bring
the university 10 the people who can
not come to it. The university will
furnish the lecturers from the faculty
and all the expense to be borne by
the towns where lectures are given
will be the rent of the auditorium. In
arranging the programs, committee
will attempt to furnish lectures that
will interest the greatest number of
people. including lectures on fores-
try, art and health.
The regents refused TO grant
petition presented by City Health
Officer Breakey that n patient suf-
fering from spinal meningitis might
be placed in the university contagious
disease ward. The patient was Doc
tor Griffin of Ann Arbor, a graduate
Of the university, and for several
ear. nose and throat diseases. There
is but one bed in the small building
that serves as contagious hospital
for the university, and Ann Arbor
and the regents dared not place the
room at the disposal of patient who
could be cared for otherwise.
1t brought up the contention, how
ever, for a contagious disease hos
pital, with the result that the regents
offered a resolution that they would
furnish a site for hospital, equip
and maintain it afterwards, if the city
would furnish the building, which
should cost not less than $4,000.

Why Women Are Thin In U. s.

isn't it funny" said New York
woman in Washington, that Ameri-
can women become so dreadfully
stout after they have lived abroad
for few years? In Berlin recently
ran across an old schoolgirl chum OF
mine, who had been married three
years before TO German army Off
Ger, and the very sight of her shocked
me. She was just like a butter ball.
Since then have made observations,
and / have come to the conclusion
that the higher cost of living in
America has a good deal to do with
keeping our women with good figures.
In Berlin one can get taxicab for
all the afternoon for a mere song.
AS the cabs are so cheap, the women
naturally ride everywhere they go.
Then there is that quiet air. of salts.
faction that everyone carries. 1t is
the most natural thing in the world
for woman to get fat under such
conditions"

r. r. Darwin of the Michigan Railroad
Commission and r. J. Day Ex-
pect to Cover Towns North
of Port Huron.

Lansing.-R. r.. Darwin, chief rate
inspector of the Michigan railroad
commission, left for Port Huron to
join Robert II. Day, manager Of the
transportation bureau of Detroit
board of commerce, and to accompany
him on a tour of the Thumb district
of Michigan. The purpose of the trip
is to make an investigation of trans
portation facilities in the district
north of Port Huron, much of it in
territory traversed by lines Of the
Pere Marquette railroad.
The investigation follows numerous
complaints, which are said to have
been made to members of the whole
salers and manufacturers bureau of
the Detroit board of commerce, when
they made a three-days' tour of the
Thumb section, two weeks ago. The
Detroit party, it is said were told that
one of the principal reasons why mer-
chants and manufacturers of their
town do not receive a larger proper
ton Of the trade of merchants in the
Thumb, is because shipments from
Detroit are routed by way of Saginaw
to Port Huron, with consequent vexa-
tious delays in delivery.
Messrs. Darwin and Day will use an
automobile and expect to cover prac-
tically all of the principal towns north
Of Port Huron The investigation
probably will extend over ten days or
two weeks.

CHINESE THRONE
YIELDS DEMANDS
CONSTITUTIONAL COVE RNMENT
is CONCEDED WHEN ARMY
AND NAVY THREATEN.
TIE SLAUGHTER AT HANkOW
WAS APPALLING.
china's Yielding to Rebels May BE
Too Late to End Revolt; Prep
arationo for Defense Made.

Victory has crowned the revolution
airy movement in China and by an i'm
perial decree the demands OF the
Young China movement, as advocated
by the national assembly, are met by
the ruling Manchu dynasty.
In the edict the throne humbly apol-
ogizes for it's past neglect and grants
an immediate constitution, with a cab
met from which mobiles shall be eX-
cluded and a free pardon for the
rebels and all political offenders.
Whether cooler counsels among the
insurrectionary leaders will prevail
and the anti-Manchu movement will
halt with the governments conces-
sions, or whether the radical element
will prevail and the rebel army of
$4,000 will attempt to sweep over the
north to invest the capital, is being
vigorously discussed in Pekin.
The capitulation to the revolution
airy party, according to the present
program, means a reorganization OF
the Chinese government into u con-
stitutional monarchy, with the imme-
date formation of national parlia-
ment. The red, white and blue ban
ner Of the Young China party will fly

Yuan Shi kai Maeter.
Yuan Shi Kai is at present master
of the destiny of the Manchu dynasty.
He combined strength with strategy
and apparently has the confidence OF
both the Manchu and revolutionary
parties.
The Manchu dynasty in China has
been supreme for 800 years. The final
crisis which caused it's fall was the
ultimatum from the second rebel army
TO Prince Chun, the regent, declaring
that unless the government yielded at
once the army would move forward
with achievements and assault the
capital.
A copy of the ultimatum was Sc
cretly forwarded by the rebels to the
leaders of the national assembly so
that they know its contents at the
same time that a copy was being
served on the regent. The national
assembly Endorsed the document as
the only solution to the crisis.

Addressing an immense throng at
the First Regiment armory, in Chi
cago President Taft aroused storm
OF applause and cheering by his re-
marks on trusts. In his speech,
which was regarded as having a d.
rect bearing on the governments
prosecution against the Steel corpor-
alton, he denied in vigorous language
that the administration is being in
fluenced by political motives.
Il would rather cut off my right
hand" he exclaimed, than to do any
thing to disturb the business of the
country, especially with motive Of
cultivating political success.
Statements as to what | may be
responsible for in bringing about bus
mess troubles, however regretful
may be that it is so, cannot turn me
from the duty that lies straight be-
fore me-" continued Mr.. Taft.

Farming Course In Public School.

Having been a farmer for some
years. a member of the State Grange
and public servant who has always
taken an active interest In agricul.
tural affairs. Secretary of State Fred
erick c. Martindale says that there
are few things that will work for the
betterment of the commonwealth and
generally improve conditions in Mich
igan than the efforts of newspapers,
city men and development associa-
lions to further the movement OF
back to the farm" and that farm
ing or its rudiments should be taught
in the district schools.
AS chairman of the public domain
commission and as a member of tho
state immigration commission, Secre-
tary Of State Martindale has had
abundant opportunity to study condi-
tons in Michigan at close range.
During the past few months the pub
lie domain and the immigration com.
missions have redoubled their efforts
to bring to the attention of the peo-
pie the opportunities that lie in wait
for those who are willing to take up
their abode in tibet northern counties.
However, Mr. Martindale says that
his years Of experience on the farm
have taught him that another plan
must be followed If the farmer is to
continue as the great producing
agency Of the nation in years to
come.
We have an agricultural college,
generally conceded to be the finest in
the country, where our farmers sons
are taught to till the soil in a sc,en-
tific manner, and it is one of the
institutions that Michigan could least
afford to be without" said Secretary
Marttndale. But wouldn't It be bet
ter scheme. and would not the results
be more effective in the long run, if
scientific farming, or at least some of
the rudiments were introduced into
the district school and made a part
of the curriculum, together with read.
