INCREASED ATTENDANCE.
Mining Engineering Is Resumins Old
Popularity.

The new iirst-year class at the
Michigan College of Mines is thirty
per cert larger than the entering class
a year ago. This increase is in spite
of the copper country strike, which
has had the effect OF keeping many
new men from coming In few cases
prospective students, evidently think
ink that the college could not operate
with the strike on, have written ask
ing for the probable time of opening.
The significance of this increase is
that il indicates that the tide of
students has turned toward mining
engineering again. For a number of
years the incoming classes have been
getting smaller. not only at the Mich
igan College of Mines, but in all the
mining schools, the larger number of
the new students flocking into agri-
cultural and commercial courses Re-
ports from the Colorado School OF
Mines and other mining schools indi-
cate that the first-year classes are
larger this year everywhere 1t is
high time, because even with the min
ing industry not vet thoroughly re-
vived scarcity OF technically trained

NEW veNTILATlNe DEVICE.
improved Attachment at Hubbell Hall
M. c, N,

A new device to use in connection
with a fan ventilation system has been
put into operation in Hubbell Hall az
the NJ. &. NJ. In any public building,
and especially in school and college
buildings, most OF the rooms are oc-
cupied only part of the time. The fans,
however, must work all of the time for
all of them.
BY this new device the current OF
fresh air driven into the rooms is
shut off automatically WITH the ring
ing OF the bell at the close of the reel
tation period and il does not go on
again until turned on by the instructor
when he enters the room for the next
class. Thus the maximum load the
fan must carry is greatly reduced and
the average load is nearly cut in two.
Hubbell Hall has been until now with
out ventilation and the new system
is the result Of special appropriation
made by the last legislature.

FOURTEEN QUESTIONS ASKED
Must Swear to Answers Regarding
Horse Power Of Autos.

owners of automobiles have receiv-
ed from Secretary OF State Martin
dale application blanks which must
be filled out with information in order
TO obtain licenses in 1914
The last legislature eliminated the
annual license fee OF So and requires
that all motor vehicles be taxed at the
rate Of 30 cents per horse power. The
new license was placed on sale SAT-
urday and considerable confusion is
expected to result. 1t is expected that
the placing OF these application blanks
will facilitate matters somewhat.
There are fourteen questions that
must be answered and sworn To before
a notary before an automobile can
procure a license for 1914. The horse
power. the diameter and length of the
cylinders, IL a gasoline engine. and
other Information pertaining To the
machine, must be given. The law pro-
vides heavy penalty for false
statement, and it is expected that the
owners will carefully Investigate be-
fore making answers to the questions.
Secretary Martindale expects that
nearly 10000 licenses will be issued
from the state department next year
Although the new number plates can
not be used before January |, 1914,
they are placed on sale two months in
advance of that date in order to pre-
vent 4 general rush the last day Of
