troll vessel, which arrived here last
night, having preceded him from
Tsingtao.
To Hold Conference
It was expected that Hart and
Takeda would meet tonight to talk
over the situation which had arisen
from the suggestion Of Colonel De
Witt Peck, United States Marine
Commanda1t, that his men take over
almost all Of the British sector. This
suggestion, bitterly fought by the
Japanese. was understood to have
originated with Hart.
Admiral Hart arrived ON the third
anniversary of the devastating
bombing Of the Marking road and
the 40th anniversary Of the relief
by an allied force Of Peiping during
the Boxer Rebellion.
The Japanese army's viewpoint In
the marine dispute was expressed
today by the Chinese language news
paper Shin-Shun- Uao, q Japanese
army organ.
The newspaper warned foreign
defense commanders that the Japa-
nese army was determined to take
over the British sector regardless
of Colonel Peck's proposal.
"If the American scheme is en-
forced" 1t said, I'VE hope that the
Japanese army will blockade Shang-
hal as 1t did Tentsin. Then We
shall see what the United States
Marines can do about that"
1t was understood that American
business leaders were considering
an appeal to Washington to send
marine reinforcements at once. Well
informed sources said that Admiral
Harris greatest handicap would be
a Japanese argument that there were
too few Marines here to patrol the
British sector.
Terrorism was revived In the city
today. Chan Chiao-Ling, q Chinese
member OF the French municipal
council, was shot dead In front Of
his home In the French concession.
It was believed that one OF his own
bodyguards did the shooting.
George Shaw, British owner OF
the steamship Shinhwa, asserted
that Japanese warships had stood
BY OFF the Fukien coast while Japa-
nese and Chinese pirates boarded
the ship August ., robbed Its CHI
nese passengers. and removed the
ships cargo OF wheat and flour,
valued at 100000 Yuan 1855
Two motorboats which the pirates
used flew japanese flags. he said.
Usually well informed Japanese
sources reported today that Japan
intended 10 sign O peace treaty"
with the Marking regime which u
set I'D 10 function In occupied ter
rltory. II was said that the treaty
would be signed October 10, ami

POSTER LISTS FIRE
HAZARDS TO AVOID
Commissioner Centrum
Calls Attention to Ere
quent Cause of Loss

State Insurance Commissioner
John B. Centrum, in his campaign
to prevent fires and save life and
property in Maryland, has issued
posters calling attention to some
of the more frequent causes of
fires. The poster states that near
ly all fires can be prevented,
through common sense methods.
The list of ''don'ts" are as follows:
Don't throw lighted cigarettes or
matches on sidewalks, in ele-
vator shafts, areaways, doorways,
or out windows where they may
ignite inflammable material.
Don't place lighted cigarettes on
some object in your home, office
or factory where they may fall
and start fire. Don't smoke
while in bed.
Don't fail to turn off gas or
cooking fuel if you are called away
from preparing meals. Don't look
for escaping gas or fumes with and
open light.
Don't attempt to do electrical re-
pair work unless you are. quail
fled to so do. If you have a short
circuit have it repaired Immediate
ly. All defective wiring is danger
Gus.
Don't forget to detach electrical
equipment, such as irons, ETC.,
after using or if called away from
your work.
Don't place oilsoaked rags OF
clothes in cupboards or dangerous
places.
Don't use your stairways or cup
boards to store old paper, rubbish,
ETC.; always put hot ashes in
metal containers.
Don't fail to use caution in
handling cleaning fluids.
Don't keep matches within reach
of children. Use metal container
for sulphur matches.
Don't fail to have chimneys of
home or factory cleaned at regular
intervals.
Don't place any ignitible material

is about to come. A smile passes
over American faces at the hui
nor of the old tradition.
This old myth must have grown
out of the keen interest which the
ancient world felt in the doings
If animals With no newspapers,
no radios, no automobiles to ex-
ute interest in those days, the
people were thrown back on the
simple incidents of the home and
barnyard.
Modern folk cannot see how the
ancients occupied their time with
out movies to attend, but those
folk found natures creatures very
pleasing as public entertainers.
Close study of these animals
showed that they possessed keen
instincts, in some ways more pen
3trating than human intelligence
The tame and wild beasts be-
came a type of reporters Of news,
since they had or seemed to have
perception of conditions not noted
by man. The watchdog barked
when his keen ears heard a thief,
although his owner had heard
nothing. The swallows, respond
ing to their keen senses, flew low
and the observer considered it a
prediction of coming rain.
And so when the little ground
hog stayed outside his hole, the
simple folk of those days thought
it meant that winter was drawing
to its close. Only with their
knowledge of the changeability of
weather conditions, they had it
hat if it was a bright and pleas
mt day and he could see his
"hadow, he retired to his hole
Though people have advanced in
knowledge, they are not as keen
observers of natural life as were
people of another day who watch
ed so closely the grounding and
all other dumb beasts.

Longer Life

The national death rate for the
United States in 1888, the last
year for which complete figures
are available, was the lowest in
the history of the country's vital
statistics. The authority for this
is the report of Dr.. Thomas Par
ran, surgeon general of the United
States Public Health Service.
The 1888 death rate OF 1916 for
each 1000 persons was a shade
lower than the previous low. 1917,
established in 1888, but it we'll sur
passed the mark of 1887 which
was 11.2. In addition, lowest rec
Ords were made for such entries
on the mortality books as infant
deaths. typhoid fever, scarlet fe-
yer, diphtheria, tuberculosis, NAL
aria diseases of the digestive sys-
tenn and others.
Death rates from influenza, pneu
mOnia and accidental causes were
lower than in many years, but au-
tOmobile accidents continued to
account for a third of the total
accident mortality and caused
triple the number of deaths from
typhoid fever, measles, scarlet fe-
yer, whoOping cough and diph-
iberia combined.
Which leads to DR.. Parran's con-
c1usion, one that needs to be
brought home to all persons in the
nation. and that is that despite
the higher average of the nations
health, stringent precautions are
necessary to keep up the work of
the various agencies and to main
tain the ideas which can be cred
tied with this encouraging show
ing.

Better Biographies

This year of 1910 is being
marked for celebration in occi-
dental countries as the five hun
dredth anniversary Of Gutenberg
who introduced printing.
Possibly Gutenberg did not in
vent printing from movable type
the Chinese claim to have had it
centuries before him and probably
did. But Gutenberg put printing
on the map in the western part of
the world. Among other things
he made possible, quite apart from
the benefaction he conferred on
humanity by making all literature
accessible, the biography of the
obscure.
Nearly everybody today in
America has somewhere a print
ed record of himself, birth notice,
wedding notice, funeral notice
Thus Gutenberg through printing
provided the means of knowing in
the future something about every
body
Before printing was utilized with
its present university a man
could be great and still go un-
recorded. The biographical mea-
gerness of Christopher Columbus
is still proof of that; and of
Shakespeare; and of Gutenberg, of
whom actually little is known.

DETROIT Yost is still
- wearing the same old Will Rog-
ers grin. The man, who came to
Ann Arbor as head coach with Willie
Heston 40 years ago, today as ath-
letic director looks at Tom Harmon,
one of the greatest running backs
of all time.
Forty years ago Wolverine sup
porters, chanting "The Yellow and
the Blue" looked upon Willie Hes
ton as the nonpareil. Today the
sport-loving city of Detroit can't be-
ieve that Heston was another Har-
mon.
AS long as both belong to Michigan
football history, Yost merely grins.
"What about an all-time Michi-
gan backfield," he asks, with Ben
ny Friedman. at quarter, Heston and
Harmon at the halves and Johnny
Garrels at full? What other all-time
college backfeld could ever equal
that bunch? Name one"
The closest we could think of in
cluded Thorpe, Calac, GuyOn, and
Hudson or Mt. Pleasant at Carlisle
or Gipp, Savoldi, Eichenlaub and
Carideo or Dorais of NOtre Dame,
not overlooking Marty Brill.
The Michigan collection still
leads.
The Harmon Case
When you get right down to the
facts in the case, Tommy Harmon of
Michigan has already proved his
place in the football roundup.
In the 81 or more games of his
career he has been a star at almost
every start. They have checked
him and there as Bob Zuppke did a
year ago. But don't forget that even
