NORMAL CLASSES CELEBRATE.

=
 Saturday night was a time of ceIe- bratiOn for three of the classes at the Tempe Normal. The seniors enjoyed a hayrack ride and country party, the juniors gave formal party in the gymnasium and the third years hied themselves on an overland hike to the north side of the river. To the juniors would probably go the medal for the best prepared and carried out enter tainment. All day Saturday the more energetic members fo the class -labored in placing the gym in shape. Remnants gathered apparently from all parts of the world almost concealed the four walls of the room. Other decorations of most appropriate and pretty nature added in the changing of the gym nasium into an extremely pretty re- ception room. Costuming of those in attendance also lent to the unusualness of the occasion. Ladies and gentIe- mems prize for the best all around cos tunes went to Miss Lucy MackIemofl and Paschal Lemans A short. but fn- teresting entertainment and refresh ments added the finishing touches to the evenings festivities in the gym The seniors chose as their method of entertainment a hayrack ride to the home of Miss Rudy Heigler, three miles and a half southeast of town. Danc- ing, games and refreshments contrib uted to the enjoya bility of the occas- ion here. The third years chose a di rection of travel directly opposite to that of the seniors eventually camp ing for the evening several miles north of here.

With the passing of baseball and football the followers of sport are turning their attention to forms of indoor competition popular during the winter months. There is already much activity evident among the hockey players and the indications point to q season of unusual popular ity for the Canadian game. In those cities where artificial rinks or freez- ing weather is assured the schedule makers are busy preparing long lists of exhibition and championship play ing dates.
 Plans are under way for the open ing of the amateur league seasons in New York. Boston. Syracuse, Cleve- land, St Paul, Montreal and Toronto and the managers of the various col lege sevens have already booked a number of exhibition and inter-Varsity matches.
 The Intercollegiate Hockey league appears unlikely to be revived but Yale, Harvard and Princeton will play a round-robin series of three games against each of the two other col leRes and both Cornell and Columbia will have sevens on the ice. Harvard will meet some of the best of the Canadian amateur teams at the Bos ton rink and there will also be seV- eral international matches at New York between the leading athletic club sevens and those of the amateur organizations. Yale and Princeton players expect to make the usual Christmas holiday trips to Cleveland and other middle western cities, play ing exhibition games against local teams and possibly several inter- varsity practice matches.

AUBREY H. STRAUS
GOES TO DETROIT
Will Aid in Government Effort
to Check Diphtheria
Endemic

city Bacteriologist Aubrey H. Straus
has been granted special leave OF alb
sence by tho Board of Health to join
mo laboratory force of a public health
bureau which the government will To-
cate In Detroit shortly. for an inten-
cation OF the diphtheria situation He
typhoid and other diseases. He will
leave for Detroit on January ). and
VIII probably remain there until some
time in the summer.
The position of assistant bactcriolo-
gist at the Detroit bureau was offered
to MIR. Straus by DR.. Joseph Goldberg
er of tho Federal health service, who
has been in Detroit for about five
weeks making a preliminary investi-
CATION of the diptheria situation. Ho
was sent TO that city by the govern
ment when Detroit was facing n diph- :
liberia epidemic, which has now been
brought under control.
For more than II month Detroit has
had under supervision between 200 and
800 cases OF diphtheria daily. The
deaths from this disease in that city
have so far numbered 267, as against
lS9 in 1912. The national health ser
vice deemed the outbreak in Detroit
the most striking of any in the coun-
try, and upon DR. Goldbergcrs recon =
mcndation. will establish temporary
bureau in that city for full lnvesti-
other diseases.
Prove Valuable Experience.
The selection of Mr. Straus to assist
in this important work is regarded as
mark of the governments confidence
in the work OF tho Richmond Health
Department and it's meteorological di-
vision. Several months of intensive
investigation under the direction of
the government experts will prove n
valuable experience for the City Bac-
teriologist, who will return better
equipped than ever to aid In guarding
Richmond against n possible outbreak
like the one which attracted Federal
attention to Detroit.
Mr.. Straus Is we'll equipped TO con-
duct the researches that the govern
mont station at Detroit will demand.
He has been City Bacterio1ogist for
four years and n half, and has done
efficient work In that office. He has
for some time also been lecturer In
Dacteriology ut the Medical College OF
Virginia.
During the absence OF Mr. Strauss
from the city the office will be filled
by DIR. $. w. Budd. instructor In pa
thology at the Medical College OF Vir-
ginIa. DIR. Budd is q graduate OF Johns
Hopkins University and has done ex-
tensive Meteorological work.
