F. r. HURST.

The following article appeared UNI
der fine large cut of Mr.. Hurst in
the Agency Bulletin" of the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance CO..:
Franklin r. Hurst, who has for
the past three years been field secre-
tary of Alma college, recently re-
signed his position to take up special
work throughout the state of Michi-
gan in the interest of our agency.
His time will be devoted very largely
to working among teachers of the
colleges ard senior students, both
with view to writing insurance and
interesting prospective agents in the
work
I'VE feel Mr. Hurst is peculiarly
fitted for this special work, as he has
large and favorable acquaintance
throughout the state and all the COL
leges and schools. He has been
prominent in athletics, being in great
demand during the football season as
an official at the various games
throughout the state.
"Mr. Hurst has taken up his resi-
dence at Ann Arbor, where he and
his family are very nicely situated.
He has the best wishes of everyone
connected with the Agency for sue
cess in his new undertaking"
It is with pleasure that we note the
fact that Mr.. Hurst's name appears
we'll up in the list of individual
agents ranking sent out by the COM
pany. We are always glad to hear of
Franks success.

no VITO ESTIMATE
NUMBER IN PARADE

II is remarkable how the average
civilian overestimates the number OF
persons in a parade. But 1t is easy
to estimate such numbers approximate
ly. Here is the rule as laid down in
the Field Service Resulatlons' Of
the United States army:
"1'he strength Of body of troops
may be estimated from the length of
time IL takes 20 pass a given point
Assuming that infantry in column of
fours occupies half yard per man.
cavalry one yard per trooper and ar
tillery in single column per gun or
caisson, given point would be passed
in on minute by about 175 infantry, 10
calavry at a walk, 200 cavalry at
trot and FIVE guns or caissons.'
Allowing for spacing between COM
panies, battallons and regiments, all of
which is according TO mathematical
rule it takes a regiment OF 1000 men
divided into battalions just ten min
utes TO pass. or at the rate OF 5000
an hour. And this supposes no
breaks in the iine.
These rules. II must be remembered.
are for trained soldiers used TO a
long step and 10 keeping up without
struggling. No civilians could keep up

PURCHASE OF new PUMP
MAY Be RECOMMENDED
OLD PUMP AT NO. I STATION IN
WORSE SHAPE THAN
ANTICIPATED.

Members oc the board of public
works yesterday afternoon accompan-
led City Manager Stockly to the
pumping station on the lake front to
inspect the large pump which has been
supplying water To the city for the
past twelve years or so. II was the
intention of Mr.. Stockly TO have had
TINS pump overhauled and repaired.
meanwhile using the old Smith g.
Vail pump recently put in shape [,
take its place temporarily. II was
believed that the large pump could be
repaired piecemeal, little here and o
little there, from time to time, with
out placing IL out Of commission fol
any great length of time at any peri
cd. IL has been found, however. that
the large pump is In worse shape than
was anticipated. and that the cylinders
could not be put in good condition
without disseminating the use of the
pump for a considerable period. This
would be inadvisable, as the old pump
would not be able to afford a sufficien;
supply while the big one was out OF
commission. Mr.. Stockly therefore
suggested, and was endorsed by the
members OF the board who were pres
ent, that a second hand large pump
be purchased, used while the other is
being repaired. and then with the tw,
big pumps in operation and the old
one in reserve for auxiliary purpose
the electric pump at No ? station
could be dispensed with. at saving
of about S2,5OO to $4,000 per annum
No action was taken by the board
there not being quorum present.
