Kerr, Jr., Directs Michigan Social Affairs William Kerr, Jr, son of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Kerr, 707 Forest ave- nue, Wilmette, has had conferred upon him the highest social honor possible to attain at the University of Michigan where he is a student, by his election to the 1924 Junior Hop committee. Kerr, together with the twelve other juniors so honored by their classmates, will lead the grand march at the giant ball that will be held February 8. In addition to being one of the most prominent social leaders on the campus, Kerr, has taken part in other activities. He is a junior engineering student and a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. The J-Hop is a ball toward which the efforts of the entire junior class of the University are bent many months before in an effort to make it surpass any other event of its kind in the country. More than 850 couples, gathered from every corner of the United States, attend. The two combined gymnasiums where the ball will be held are entirely trans- formed for the event. A novel form of decoration, never . before used on such a large scale, will be tried at this year's Hop. Both of the gymnasiums where the dance will be held will be trans- formed into gigantic Eskimo villages for the occasion. Constructed about the sides of the ballroom will be the igloos of the Eski- mos, built realistically, and with light shining from their doors. Above them, and from the edge of the balcony that surrounds the room, dripping ice will be placed. Still above this a cold dark- blue sky will rise, the true sky of a frozen north. Stars will glitter from the darkness of the canopy, each star having within it a concealed light that will shed a mellow glow upon the rev- elers beneath. THE FIRST ARE LAST For hundreds of years the Chinese have been skilled iron workers--the first in the world--but have imported all their steel. The first electric steel furnace has recently been installed at Shanghai, in the first steel foundry to be operated in the celestial kingdom. Its inauguration marks a new indus- trial era for China. -- Buy a Chevrolet Today ORTHWESTER N MOTOR CO.
