Many Michigan Normal College
alumni returned to Ypsilanti fo-
Alumni Day Saturday at Charles
McKenny Hall. The days program
opened with registration and re-
ception. During registration each
alumnus was given a ballot on
which to vote for directors for the
Alumni Association. This was done
at an informal meeting, and at the
luncheon the results were an
nounced. All incumbents were re-
elected. They are: Leslie A. But
Ter. 90: Allen F. Sherzer. Robert
E. Barber. '92; Horace z. WILDER.
'02; Albert A. Riddering. 10: Mrs.

land A. Kopka. Perry S. Brundage
was elected to fill the vacancy
made by the death of J. Milton
Hover.
Prof. Frederick r. Gorton was
POSTMASTER at the luncheon.
Professor II z. WILDER called on
presidents and chairmen from the
special classes being honored and
they. in turn. introduced the ind!.
vidual members of their class.
Celebrating its golden anniversary
was the class OF 1891. and celebrai-
ing its silver anniversary was the
class of 1916. Other special class
reunions were: 1896, 1901. 1906,
1911, 1921. 1926, 1881, and 1885.
President John NJ. Munson well
coined the alumni at the luncheon.
The tables were beautifully dec.
GRATED with spring flowers.
All meetings were very informal
and alumni enjoyed renewing &C.
quaintances and greeting old
friends.
The Normal School class OF 1891
gathered 81 members In celebra-
ton OF their golden anniversary,
within two OF the record OF re-
turning members made by the class
OF 1888 three years ago. President
George E. Rogers. Pontiac, intro
duced each member at the general
alumni banquet. Later the class
held a pleasant meeting in the

many funny stories we're told OF
professors and students of their

who came from coast to coast to
attend the alumni meeting was

And now what do you say to
swim before dinner?"
Betsy set her teeth for a mo-
ment, and then she lifted her shoul-
ders In a little expressive gesture
that dismissed the thought Of the
burdens they had been supporting.
II say okay, mister"
Brooks slowed the cheap new
suitcase In the cottages one bed

about her, taking In the soft gray
walls. the silvery woodwork, the
cool green draperies, with the big
splashy lemon-yellow flowers scat
tered through them, colors that
had been borrowed from the
framed picture above the mantel-
tall, long4egged, blue-gray herons
feeding in a marshy pool against
the lemon-yellow Of a sunset sky.
This Is rather charming" said
Natalie.
But there are complications,
wouldn't you say? After all, there
is only one bedroom"
Natalie laughed and her color
deepened a little.
But of course. What would a
honeymoon couple want with two
bedrooms ?" she answered lightly,
and did not cutie meet his eyes.
Brooks said after a moment,
whoever furnished the cottage
was an understanding creature.
That divan looks amazingly COM
Portable"
Eyes, 1t does. doesn't II? ?" agreed
Natalie, tribe fatty.
"And now-what about food 2"
Brooks said briskly. Does one go
to the Hacienda, do you suppose ?
Or Is there a restaurant hidden In
the marsh-or what?"
Natalie walked across the Lying
room into the neat green and yell
low kitchen, with It's shining tile,
its mechanical leo box and oil
range. Above the stove there were
built-in cabinets whose opened
doors revealed a great stock Of
canned food. The ice box proved to
be equally well stocked.

restaurant she scoffed. I'D say

CHAPTER NINETEEN

THIS PLACE is so very lovely"
said June Heath after a moment.
''and 1t was so kind Of Mr.. Mark
ham to make 1t possible for us to
come here for a honeymoon I know
we will all remember as long as we
live. 1t seems rather a shame to
start pickering the moment we set
foot on the island"
Terry didn't mean 1t when she
referred to Mrs. Edmonds as the
clinging vine type" began Betsy
Loyalty. Terry flashed her CRATE
full glance.
Personally, the Edmonds wom-
an looked to me like woman who
would create trouble wherever she
went" said Lucy Littlefeld, trihe
glumly. "Ive seen the type at sum-
mer hotels along the Maine coast
and, frankly, I don't like EN-"
Terry gave a little crow of de-
light, cried, MY pal" and flung
herself on Lucy with a childish,
bear-like hug. Lucy flushed pinkly,
looked pleased, and tried to break
through her usual restraint to
make some return of Terry's warm
friendliness.
An hour later, when they had all
been assigned to cottages, Betsy
and Tom stared at each other as
they stood in the patio.
Well" said Tom, and ran his
fingers through his crisp red hair.
I'D say, from where I stand, that
It looks like a right exciting 80
days ahead"
Betsy nodded soberly, her
smoky-gray eyes troubled.

school year have been outstanding.
Reigning over all were the two
superb concerts by the Normal
Choir, under the direction OF Prof

members thrilled listeners at the
annual Christmas Concert when
they sang in Pease Auditorium to
a capacity crowd OF over 5000.
The Bach Concert, the last to be

Enforcement Needed

indicative of the widespread public
support which is being given the
campaign against unnecessary noise
in Washington is the action of the
District Traffic Advisory Council in
pledging its cooperation in the
movement. The council has reiter-
ated its stand against needless horn
blowing and bell-clanging and has
called on the Police Department to
enforce the anti-noise regulations to
the limit.
Meanwhile, it is gratifying to know
that Police Superintendent Brown,
dissa atisfied with the results obtained
from his initial noise-suppression
order to precinct commanders, has
issued strongly worded new
order for stricter enforcement of
the ordinances against useless horn
footing, defective muff1ers, installa-
ton of cutouts and other noise nui-
sances. Weekly reports of arrests
made and noises abated will be re-
quired. Major Brown is making the
proper approach to solution of the
noise problem. Vigorous enforce
ment of existing regulations, through
conscientious police work and ef-
fective prosecution of offenders,
should afford appreciable relief to a
din distracted city.

BRIDGE Projects

In withholding from the Districts
1912 supply bill any recommendation
for funds for a new Anacostia River
bridge, and in suggesting that the
Commissioners be authorized to be-
gin studies looking toward definite
plan for new bridge or tunnel
across the Potomac, the House Ap-
propriations Committee has taken
progressive action.
So many questions remain to be
decided in regard to these projects
that some delay is more than justi-
fed. Until the defense highway pro-
gram for the National Capital area
is mapped out 1t would be unwise
to build as purely local project-a
bridge connecting the vicinity of the
Navy Yard with the northern tip of
the Naval Air Station. Such a mas
ter highway program now is being
prepared.
In regard to the Potomac span an
agreement as to type and connecting
routes must be worked out by Mary

'A-PeeIinq' Job

Remember your quick temper, now
that they've made you a policeman,
and don't shoot anybody" Such was
the advice written by the mother of
a draftee, upon being informed that
her son had joined that splendid
corps of men, the kitchen police
force of the Army
Explanation is herewith given to
the unmilitary who have never heard
of kitchen police. These unsung
heroes often go into action armed
only with knives, and their duties are
a-peeling. Many learn to peel
whole bushels of potatoes at a sit
ting, and then go out on a mop-up
detail armed only with buckets and
brushes. At other times, when peas
are on the menu, they often have to
go through much heavy shelling.
Because all camps need kitchen
policemen, the recruit ambitious to
join the force need not bother to
study for any difficult examination
or be annoyed with red tape. Simple
methods are best. An easy one Is
for him to march up to the top
sergeant and tell him Just what he
thinks Of him.

From Every Stute

When the Government Of the
United States decided to prepare to
defend the American way of life
against the threat of the totalitarian
powers of the Eastern Hemisphere,
it summoned to a new national army
the representative manhood of the
entire country. Similarly, the ma
terial resources of the whole Nation
are being modified for the protec-
tion Of democracy. An industrial
cartograph recently placed in circu-
lation shows that every portion of
the Federal Republic is contributing
to the construction of the military
and naval equipment necessary for
the maintenance of freedom in a
turbulent world.
California, for example, produces
not merely lumber and petroleum, but
also borax and mercury. Maine, at
the opposite extreme of the map,
yields slate, leather and textiles as
well as timber. Florida is credited
with turpentine, peanut oil and
sponges; Minnesota with linseed oil
and iron; Arizona with vanadium
and garnet for instrument jewels)
and Michigan with copper, brass and
gypsum.
Lead is furnished by Oregon, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas; zinc
by Oklahoma, Nevada, New Mexico
and Utah; tungsten by South Dako-
ia; bauxite by Alabama; manganese
by Georgia; mica by North Carolina.
Maryland is listed for timed metal
and steel parts; Virginia for fabrics,
chemicals and paper. Nebraska pro-
videS caSein and starch; North Da-
kota clay and fiber insulation; Illi-
nois steel instruments and copper
wire cable; Mississippi rosin and
pitch; Rhode Island rubber acces-
sories and electrical machinery, New
York aluminium and plastics; Arkan-
sas abrasive substances and anti
mony; Montana silver and wool.
Glass meanwhile comes from
Pennsylvania, tale from Vermont,
porcelain from West Virginia, sui
phur from Louisiana, rayon from
Tennessee, asphalt from Kentucky,
silk and machine parts from Massa-
chusetts, explosives from Delaware.
But only a fraction of the story
of industrial unity is told in such
list of its constituents. Missouri,
long celebrated as being the most
notably self-sufficient State in the
Union, is capable of supplying al
most anything that might be re-
quired. The empire of Texas like
wise is richly endowed with the raw
materials of victory. If Hitler should
be foolhardy enough to force the
United States into war, it would be
the wealth here indicated that would
defeat him-plus the trained and
disciplined youth recruited from the
same far-flung territories.
