BEEKEEPERS from all over Michigan will enroll a t M. A. C. on Feb. 24 for a week's study of ways and means for making the busy bee busier. A course intended for the instruct ion of begin­ners and amateurs in beekeeping will be the feature of the Aveek's program. The staff of the department of ento­mology of M. A. C. will act as in­structors. Floyd Markham of Ypsi-lanti, one of Michigan's ablest bee­keepers, will assist the M. A. C. men. He will principally discuss methods of production.

AID IX ESTABLISHING COURSES in mili tary t ra in ing is being offered by lvi. A. C. to high schools throughout the state in accordance with the war department 's plans to build up junior reserve officers t ra in ing corps units . The mi l i tary depar tment of the col­lege is co-operating with the Wash­ington war office in the work of en­couraging the development of the t ra in ing plan in Michigan. "There are quite a considerable number of technical details involved in estab­lishing a junior t ra in ing corps in high schools," declared Major P. G. Wrightson, commandant at M. A. C , "so we are volunteering the services of our mil i tary department to schools wishing to under take mil i tary work. We are invit ing principals and super­intendents of schools to address their inquiries to us, and where necessary, we propose to send a representat ive to the school to assist the school au­thori t ies in mapping out a drill pro­gram."

T H E COLLEGE BAND, assisted by Mrs. Helen Dodge Stack, '11, and Professor W. E. Reuling, gave the first of this year 's Sunday afternoon concerts last Sunday in the Armory. This coming Sunday a second concert will be given in which the Girls ' Glee Club will feature the program. Musical organ­izations suffered considerably during the S. A. T. C. period but are coming back strong and are already winning favor with their performance.

EX-PRESIOEXT W I L L I A M H. TAFT will appear as the first number on the Liberal Arts Lecture Course this term. He comes to M. A. C, Wednes­day evening, March 5th, and will speak on a selected subject. The Lib­eral Arts Course programs a re to be held in the Armory, as formerly.

T H E FORESTRY CLUB at a recent meeting decided t o publish their For­estry Annual th is spring as usual. The editors for th is year 's book are I. V. Anderson, '20, editor-in-chief; 0. A. Alderman, '20, B. H. Bentley, '20, M. D. Gray, '22, and C. F . Martin, '21, associate editors.

T H E WOLAERIXE BOARD announces tha t they have already received or­ders for over 1,200 books. This is probably the largest number of Wol­verines inat have been sold in ad­vance in several years.

T H E STAXDIXG WALLS of Will iams Hall were razed at 3 o'clock last Fr i ­day afternoon by the simultaneous explosion of some 100 charges of dynamite which had been placed a t intervals in the walls. The first ex­plosions failed to lower all the walls, complete sections on both the north and west sides remaining standing after the others had fallen. Three separate charges were required to completely demolish the building.

INTKAMURAL ATHLETICS Will be drawn to a final windup on Saturday, March 15th. The ent ire day will be given over to completing the sched­ules and the final contests in the in-tersociety and interclass games. Final contests in wrestling, boxing and track work, as well as swimming will also be r u n off during the day. A nov­elty in the meet will be a "gir ls ' re­lay" in which the girls will select champions to represent them on the track.

PROFESSOR RYDER is growing very popular with central Michigan wom­en. In the past couple of months he has addressed some fifteen different clubs and groups in Lansing and vi­cinity on the subject of voting. Not only have Prof. Ryder 's ta lks been of a very instruct ive na ture to the vot­ers who are casting their first ballots but they are s t imulat ing a much wider interest in the coming elections. He has been giving a series of talks before Y. W. C. A. women in Lansing covering questions of present day government, political part ies, the pri­mary law, etc. Beside several groups of Lansing and Eas t Lansing club women, he has addressed the women employees of one or two large busi­ness ins t i tut ions in Lansing.

T H E S A T C—A COMEDY is the t i t le of a very interest ing and timely article appearing in the Outlook of February 5. The article is wr i t t en "By a College Pres ident" and there are par t icular reasons why it will be of interest to every M. A. C. a lumnus anu former student. The article has been ra ther widely read by the fac­ulty, that issue of the Outlook having been sold out of the Eas t Lans ing news s tands soon after its receipt.

T H E E A S T LAXSIXG CHURCH will ob­serve its Annual Visitation Day on Sunday afternoon, February 23, in the afternoon. Mr. McCune, '02, who is organizing the-day 's calls has this to say about it. "Two good looking men will drop in for a visit. They a re anxious to see you, as James Whitcomb Riley would say ' In a Friendly sort o' way.' I t is not a call for any business whatever, but ra ther for the purpose of helping the church get next to the people of Eas t Lansing and finding out #what folks th ink of the church so that it may improve and better its work." There will be thirty-two teams of callers. Better stay at home Sunday after­noon so as not to miss them.

"UXDER FOLK FLAGS," the official war film sent out by the Bureau of Public Information which was shown at the College dur ing Fa rmer s ' Week, lias a par t icular interest for a group of ivx. A. C. people. In tha t par t of me picture where General Persh ing is being decorated by General Bliss, s tanding in the line at a t tent ion in front of the camera is an M. A. C. man, Paul Woodworth, w'16, son of Prof, and Mrs. P. B. Woodworth, '86 and '93, respectively. Prof. Wood-worth who is now business manager on the staff of the War Plans Divi­sion of the War Department, saw the picture one evening in Washington, and th ink ing he recognized his son, he waited for a second performance and made sure of it. Within a few days a letter from Paul told tha t he had jus t been transferred to the staff of General Pershing- and was present at the ceremonies when the General was decorated. Paul Woodworth is in the Meteorological Section of the Sig­nal Corps. Another son of Prof, and Mrs. Woodworth, Rober t , . seventeen years old, is in France with the American Red Cross.

ABE YOU A MEMBER OF A BHAXCH ASSOCIATION?

Detroit alumrii and former students are crystalizing the formation of a permanent and active organization tha t is to be known as the M. A. C. Club of Detroit. A consti tution and by-laws are being' framed that, lived up To. will make the Detroit associa­tion of M. A. C. men and women a real working factor in the general a lumni group. They are pledging themselves "to exert their influence to further the best in terests of M. A. ( ' . a n d to make her an increasingly popular inst i tut ion."

The progress being made in Detroit is very gratifying. Par t icular ly since there probably never was a t ime in the history of the .college when there are so many problems facing the in­stitution—problems, in the solving of which a lumni should have a voice and lend a hand. Now is t ruly a recon­struction period for Alma Mater and we must be ready to help.

Again we urge the reorganization of local associations and the holding of meetings wherever and whenever it is possible. It is only through the local organizations of alumni that the iy.-; A. C. alumni body as a whole may become a strong close-knit unit capa­ble of render ing service.

MRS. J. E. MARSHALL (ANNIE L. ROBINSON) WITH '08.

Mrs. James E. Marshall (Annie L. Robinson, with '08), former student and instructor in the domestic sci­ence department , died following the birth of a daughter on Dec. 28th. Mrs. Marshall at tended M. A. C. for two years and served as instructor in sewing during the years 1905 and 1906.

From M. A. C. Mrs. Marshall at­tended and graduated from Columbia University. She later taught for two and a naif years a t the Colorado Ag­r icul tural College at For t Collins,

Colorado, and three years a t the Ore­gon Agricul tural College.

She is survived by a husband, James E. Marshall, a member of the staff of the Colorado Agricul tural Col­lege at Ft . Collins, Colo.

MANISTIQUE ALUMNI MEET.

M. A. C. folks at Manistique met for an informal dinner a t the Ossa-Avinamakee Hotel Wednesday evening, Feb. 12. An interest ing t ime was spent ta lking over old and new things of M. A. C. Those present were Miss Aurelia P. Potts, '12; Mrs. Doty, guest; Eva Bouscher, '18, Jennie Williams, oylvia Richardson, home economics extension specialists; Nellie A. Fre-deen, '17; Mr. and Mrs, George Beck-with, '17; Glenn Amos, '15; George Kinsting, 15.

L. WHITNEY WATKINS '93 REPUB­LICAN NOMINEE FOR STATE

BOARD.

At their biennial spring convention held in the Prudden Auditorium at Lansing Tuesday, the Republicans Of Michigan nominated L. Whitney Wat-kins, '93, from Manchester, and Mrs. Dora Stockman of Lansing for posi­tions on the State Board of Agricul­ture to succeeded A. J. Doherty of Clare and Robert Graham of Grand Rapids, whose t e rms as members ex­pire th is year.

Fa rmer s organizations throughout the state have been very vigorous in their campaign for Mr. WTatkins and Mrs. Stockman urging tha t the State Board of Agriculture should have a larger representat ion of farmers. Up to the t ime of the convention Mr. Graham continued as a candidate for

reelection, but it is reported by dele­gates from his distr ict tha t Mr. Do­her ty had wi thdrawn from the race in favor of Mrs. Stockman.

Mr. Watk ins is amply qualified, having served under appointment from the governor as a member of the State Board of Agriculture from 1899 to 1905. He is a one-thousand acre farmer of Jackson county, the th i rd generation of the family on th is farm. While in college he was box­ing champion and prominent in col­lege and student activities. He has also served his district in the state senate. Publicity ma t t e r circulated by the federated farm organizations types him as "a m a n of red blood and political courage." Mr. Watk ins was for a t ime president of the Jackson M. A. C. Association.

Mrs. Stockman is a State Grange lecturer and did some of the first ex­tension demonstrat ing work for the college a t Bay View in 1914. Later she represented the college as a spe­cial home economics demonstrator during the winter months and lec­tured at some th i r ty farmers insti­tutes in southern Michigan. It is said by her supporters t ha t "she knows the tests and needs of the farmer 's wife as well as any woman in Michi­gan." .

Judging from past history the Re­publican nomination in Michigan is an assurance of election.

and efficiency in action by the Bri t ish government. The award was an­nounced in dispatches from Archan­gel dated February 15th and was con­ferred for "conspicuous gal lantry and ability since early in September wi th the Dvina River forces."

Capt. McArdle was commissioned as first l ieutenant in the Engineers Re­serve Corps June 11th, 1917, and re­ported for active duty July 2d of tha t year. On August 15th he was pro­moted to a Captain of Engineers and assigned to the 310th Engineer Regi­ment then jus t being formed at Camp Custer. He went across with the 85th Division early in the summer of 1918 and as a member of the 1st bat­talion of the 310th Engineers was as­signed to the North Russia Expedi­tion.

PROF. POLSON R E S I G N S TO ACCEPT BUSINESS CALL.

Professor Joseph A. Poison, who has been professor of mechanical en­gineering at the college since 1906, handed his res ignat ion to the State Board of Agricul ture at their meet­ing Monday. Professor Poison leaves M. A. G. to accept an a t t ract ive com­mercial position with the Milwaukee s t amp ing Company of Milwaukee, Wis. He is to become factory mana­ger of the Milwaukee concern, who are manufacturers of l ighter grades of pressed steel, work. He expects to complete the winter term and will probably leave Eas t Lansing about April 1st.

Alumni of the engineering depart­ment are expressing a keen regret on learning of Professor Poison's leav­ing. His work a t M. A. C. has been of a most constructive nature . Com­ment ing upon his services a t the col­lege President Kedzie said, "Prof. Poison has been an especially valu­able man, in that , in all his teaching work he has kept his s tudents well grounded in theory and at the same t ime has kept them in touch with the very latest practical application of t ha t theory in the industr ies ."

Professor Poison is one of a few educators who have been able to com­bine ability both in practical as well as theoretical lines. He has kept abreast of the very best and latest practices in manufactur ing and has been able to give his s tudents the benefit of his study and experience.

His constant study of the industr ies has made him perhaps one of the best known engineering educators in the State.

Professor Poison is a graduate of Pu rdue University and came to M. A. C. in 1906 as an ins t ructor in me­chanical engineering. He served as assis tant professor of mechanical en­gineering from 1908 to 1913. He was act ing dean of engineering in the fall te rm oi 1915 and an associate profes­sor in industr ia l chemistry from 1913 to 1916.

He is a member of the American society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society for Test ing Mate­rials, and the Society of Automotive Engineers, all of which are honorary societies and testify to his ability and the scope of his work. On the cam­pus he is a member of Tau Beta Pi and an honorary member of the M. A. C. Engineer ing Society. He has recently served as a member of the Educat ional Committee for the Na­tional Safety Council for the United States and as a delegate at tended a meet ing of safety engineers held in the east last summer.

Some difficulty will be found in procur ing, a man to fill his position at M. A. w. As yet no one has been selected.

MICHIGAN TAKES GAME AFTER THREE TIES.

Luck hovered near the University of Michigan goal in Saturday night 's basketball game at the college and succeeded in beat ing the Aggies 19 to 17. Victory came for Michigan only at the end of two overtime per­iods, made necessary by the tie score, both at the end of the game and when the first overt ime period of five min­utes had been played.

The batt le was speedy and rough from the s ta r t and i t has been years since as closely contested and ha rd fought basketball game has been seen at M. A. C. There were never more t han two or three points separat ing the teams at any t ime dur ing the con­test and both teams were in the game and fighting every minute .

At three periods during the contest the score was tied. The first half ended with the score 9 and 9. When t ime was called a t the end of the game, the tally-sheet showed the score to be 16 and 16. I t was decided

to play for five minutes to decide the game but each team added a foul goal to its score making the totals 17 and 17. Another 5-minute period was de­cided upon. Karpus tossed the ball in the a i r in the direction of Michi­gan's goal, the kind hand of provi­dence guiding it safely through for the two points tha t won for the U. of M. The Aggies fought ha rd but were unable to bag a goal before the t imer ' s pistol r ang out.

Defense offered by the M. A. C. quinte t te puzzled the Michigan men who found plenty of trouble in at­tempt ing to work the ball anywhere near their goal. As was the case in the DePauw game, however, the vis­itors had considerable good fortune in scoring on long distance shots, a few of them dropping into the basket from distances up to 40 feet.

M. A. C. meets Michigan on the Ann Arbor floor for thei r second game of the season on Fr iday , February 28.

ALL FRESH TRIM ALMA.

Alma college, touted as the proud possessor of the champion M. I. A. A. basketball team, was well t r immed by the M. A. C. All-Freshmen in thei r game at Eas t Lans ing Saturday night, played as a pre l iminary to the M. A. C.-Michigan game. The score ended 29 to 3.

Gilkey, last year 's s tar on the Lan­sing high school team, scored 23 of the Aggie Fresh total of 29.

This was the second defeat of the year for Alma at the hands of the M. A. C. All-Fresh, Fr imodig 's five t r imming the M. I. A. A. men on their own floor a few weeks ago.

Juniors and others a t tending the J-Hop this year must have their fees in by March 15, which is absolutely the latest day t h a t any t ickets will be given out. The class t reasurer , Leon L. Bateman, will receive dues in the reading room of the Engineer ing building from 9 to 12 a. m. on Satur­day, March 8 and March 15. Juniors not a t tending the hop may get the i r balcony t ickets by calling for them at tha t t ime.

6 THE M. A. C. RECORD.

* WITH THE COLORS *

Dear McKibbin: J u s t received a welcome copy of the

RECORD and thought I would wri te you a few lines. It sure seems good to get the M. A. C. news while help­ing to hold the Coblenz Bridgehead up here in Germany.

I am still with the 42d (Rainbow) division, having- come over with it 14 months ago. We have been in all the big engagements and were honored by being placed in the Third Ameri­can Army or Army of Occupation. We are now holding a str ip of terri­tory along the Rhine about 45 kilo­meters "west of Coblenz.

I have met several M. A. C. men over here, and it is like the good old campus days when you run across one. Last winter I met Glen Dicker, '17, and Ear l Hough, 16, in Neufcha-teau and this summer I met Captains Thompson, '17, and Smith, '17, in Nevers. Ju s t a few weeks ago I met Clint Chilson, '12, in Coblenz and Stace Griggs, '14, in Paris . M. A. C. seems to be well represented in the A. E. F .

I am doing laboratory and sani tary work with the field laboratory, 42d division and find the work very in­teresting. I never thought, when I was taking the bacteriology course at M. A. C. tha t I would ever have the opportunity of test ing the water of the Rhine River, but such has been the case.

Would be glad to.-, hear from any members of the class of 1915. Re­member me to my old profs.

Wisning you a successful and Happy New Year, I am

Sincerely yours, 1st Lt. F . 0. ADAMS. '15.

have come to th i s par t of California to stay. Others pass through occa­sionally. I well remember meeting Col. Robert S. Welsh, '94, on the street here in 1900 on his re tu rn from the Philippines. The men who were with him at tha t t ime and who had served with him in the Spanish-American , , a r all bore witness to his fine qualities as a soldier. It just comes to mind tha t he gave me my first mil i tary t ra in ing on the campus in my freshman year. We little real­ized in those days the serious neces­sity for such t ra ining, nor did we fully appreciate the far-sighted wis­dom Avhich made it a par t of the cur­riculum.' '

Chas. H. Alvord is in the Office of Extension Work in the south for the States Relation Service of the De­par tment of Agriculture. His head­quar ters are in Washington, D. C , and he is living at 3224 Northamp­ton St.

H. R. Parish, "Josh," "between pa­tr iot ism and wages" is "still holding down" his job in the ship yards at Haddon Heights, N. J. He writes, "So Williams Hall has gone up in smoke. College hall has gone also. The old land marks are all going. Sorry to read of the deaths of the boys in France. Colonel Welsh was one of the officers in '94. Hope the old college is keeping up in attend­ance, but expect classes will be below normal for some time yet. Give my regards to Prexie, Professors Brewer, Bissell, Vedder, Gunson and others. Hope the 'Ags' will succeed in reduc­ing the cost of 'high living.' "

'96. E. D. Partr idge, 195 E. 4th St.,

It is rumored tha t Par t r idge has found a method of making permanent hard surfaced roads for about one-third the present cost of concrete roads. His plans are having the consideration of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah and several city and state officials.

'99. Edward Gagnier is "enjoying life in

E. R. Bennett is field hort iculturist for the Extension Division of the Uni­versity of Idaho at Boise, Idaho. The following is taken from his let ter: "I was very sorry of the calamity that happened to old Williams Hall, not that the building is of any part icular value and I presume tha t M. A. C. is better off with the building in ruins
