John Barr Talked on Washington
Entertained Large Audience at Mulcaly School Last
 Night

John Barr delivered an address at the meeting of the Washington Park Community Club in Mulcahy school last night, which proved of much interest to a crowd of boys and girls and was also greatly appreciated by the older persons present. MT Barr dealt with the life of Washington from the time of his boyhood until he had ended his eventful career. The speaker read from manuscripts showing the influence Washington wielded among people of all races and creeds. He stressed remarks of Washington just before he retired from public life when delegation of Catholic priests, Protestant min- isters and Jewish rabbis called to bid him an affectionate farewell, and quoted from Washington's address had won because the people were united. MT Barr showed several documents in the handwriting of Washington and many of his com patriots and copies of papers pub lished shortly after the War of the Revolution. He was given a rising vote of thanks for his instructive and brilliant address.
 It was announced that at the com- ing bicentennial of George Washing ton which will be observed all over the country next year, the Washing ton Park Community club will be able to secure Bishop John G. Mur- ray of Portland, Me. for an address in Washington park, provided the bishop is given sufficient notice to that he can arrange for a suitable date. This was welcome news for the club and the chairman was in- structed to appoint committee to commence making plans for the event.
 Screens showing scenes in the mining districts of the Anaconda company will be shown at meet ing to be held on March 19. Solos by Frank Vaughan, a sweet singer | and dance numbers by Ethel Darling and Alice Kane were enthusiastical. | ly applauded.

 In his street clothes he vanquishes
 the shot-putter. At the end of the | hundred yard dash he looks back
 over his shoulder and urges his stu

He takes on the relay team. The first runner manages to keep abreast of the professor, but Carver | runs easily in order to save him.

 He finishes but-behind. And he
 shamefacedly announces that it was
 a bad error of judgment not to run
 that first racer into the ground. And
 said racer admits from a sick bed
 that if Carver had stepped out fast
 at the start of the mile the race
 would have been his by default right | there in the first quarter,
 About this time the class decides
 it has had enough. And what an
 examination they face the next | week!
 Carver has done this not once, but | two or three times. And the un-
 dergraduates bite on the bait avid
 ly each year.
 He goes to many of the
 out meets of the varsity | track team. A couple of years | ago he was with the team in Chi | cago. He took several of the lads | with him to his automobile to the Michigan Central train after the
 meet, putting them on the midnight sleeper and promising to pick them up in Ann Arbor and take them to their rooming houses. When the | midnight flyer pulled into the Ann Arbor station Carver was there, | waiting with his Marmon to do some more taxing.
 He is not built to the commonly | accepted as standard professorial mold.

Clearing Up
 After the Fire
Palm Goes to Michael Gal= lul0 Who Accomplished
 Gigantic Tasks

The Little Theatre production of Under the Gaslight" got off to a good start last night at Jacques theater, despite the damage done by the fire the night before following the packed house general rehearsal,
 at which the local lodge of Elks were guests. There will be an ex- i, tra performance Saturday night. A little of the tremendous amount of work done yesterday to get tstraightened out after the fire and to make things ready for the open ing performance was brought to light to-day when a few of the big tasks accomplished were related this
 morning. Stage Manager Michael Galullo, so it is told, arrived with Miss Schoeni shortly after the fire Icouraging outlook, was confident everything could be made shipshape
 by last night. Just how that was accomplished is this. All hands
 turned out yesterday morning, but
 MT Galullo worked the day through,
 literally standing on his head to ad-
 just the new ropes that manipulate
 the running up and down of the cur
 tain. The old rope was burned in
 the fire, as were many portions of
 the scenery which had to be repaint- ed. To-day more painting goes on, and those portions of scenery miss
 ing last night will be in readiness
 for to-night's performance.
 MT Galullo's work back stage is a |gigantic feat. He is constantly work
 ing. tending to ropes that let down
 the drops, and when he is not up near the ceiling at this business he lis down experimenting and working shifts with his helpers. And some of yesterdays work in addition to all this was in clearing out the debris
 from the fire and getting things in
 order for last night. This was no
 small order, but it was accomplished
 by MT Galullo and the many other
 workers who spent most of yesterday at Jacques theater

O "Yeah," admitted Carver.
 "D'jever hurdle?"
 "Uh-huh. A little bit.
 Come along with me kid, and I'll make a real hurdler out of you" And for the next solid half hour Archie Hahn worked earnestly and laboriously with his find. A crowd of gieeful varsity athletes gathered around, every one of whom had many a time received a word of advice and encouragement from this lanky faculty member now pay ing devout attention to the advice of the freshman track coach. Archie began to get suspicious.

COLLEGE PAPER LAUDS PROFESSOR CARVER
Pay Tribute To Local Teacher At
 U. Of Michigan
Not of the Standard Mold But Operates Program That
 Has Endeared Him to Students and Faculty Mixes
 Athletics With Brain Power

The outstanding ability of Asso- ciate- Professor Harry Clyde Carver, son of Mrs Harry D. Carver of 29 Wilson street, in both athletics and inr his chosen rofession-teaching -afs recounted in an article in "The Michigan Alumnus" for February. A graduate of Driggs and Crosby high school. hegentered Michigan college and after his graduation commenced his teaching career in the institu- tion.

 Harry Clyde Carver is associate professor of mathematics in the Col 1ege of Literature, Science and the Arts at the University of Michigan. But he is many other things also.
 He is an alumnus of the university. He studied in the College of En- gineerin& for one year, entering in 1909. Then he entered the "lit" col- lege and received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1915. He took , graduate work for one year, in 1916- IT. ;.
 He started out as an instructor in the mathematics department; to- day is the aforementioned associate professor, and.' during the leave of absence of Professor James w. Glover. is head of the Division of Statistics in the department.
 He wears a Varsity "M". earned as half-miler on the Michigan track team. He wasn't an outstand- ing runner during his varsity days, but he wop his share of points for Michigan and made things interest ing for the opposition. Some say that he's a better runner to-day than he was back in IS but more about that later. Secretary of the Varsity "M" club has been one of his titles.
 One day during Archie Hahn's first year at Ann Arbor as fresh- man track coach. Professor Harry Carver and Coach Steve Farrell held short consultation over at Water man gymnasium. And then some- thing started. Carver appeared on the floor in his gym clothes and started jumping over the hurdles. Hahn cooked an eye at him. Archie was forever trying to make hurd- Ter out of every lad that. came un- der his Jurisdiction. Steve called to his freshman coach and volun- teerod. "See that big fellow over there.

Il Be HOT,
THAT'S ALL

Government workers quartered
in temporary wartime wooden
structures will gain no relief from
the heat this summer.
Last summer the Government
lost $l43,O71 when 1920 en-

CHARITY DRAINS
ARE HEAVIER

Although there no longer are
any breadlineS in Washington the
demands upon the Golfers of the
Associated Charities are some
what heavier this summer than
in recent years, according TO Wal
ter S. Ufford, general secretary.
In the first five months of 1881
the organization in meeting de!
mands for help had used ar more
than 40 per cent Of the budget
allotted it for the year by the
Community Chest. Other welfare
organizations have felt similar
heavy drains.
The prospects are that the COM
ing fall and winter will witness
even greater hardships tn3n last
season. Mr.. Ufford predicted
The breadlines of last winter
dwindled to the vanishing point
with the payment of bonus checks
by the Government, and the
drifting away of casuals to other
parts of the country in response
to seasonal employment demands,
welfare workers say.
Col. ElwOOd Street, director Of
the Community Chest, is conf
dent that "the chest will be able
to scrape through the coming
season If all the subscriptions to
the fund are paid in"
A careful check is being made
of those who have become de-
linquent in their, subscriptions.
