have their clothes made-to-measure.
It is not a fallacy to say that clothes
reveal their origin even to the casual:
observer. And there s anair of dis-
tinction to our clothes that can come
only from years of experience in tai-
loring garments. We have satisfied
your friends, why not you?

T:HE DEVIL AND TI E DEEP SisA
Michigan oecupies an anomalous po-
sition in the realm -of college athletics.
Boycotted by the teams of the confer-
ence we turned to the east in an ef-
fort to break its hard shell of conserva-
tism, and enter the family as a sister
of the inner circle. lIarvard toyed
with us a year ago, but the benefits o-f
that ganie were not as evanescent as the
relations between the two institutions.
Our goal now lies in the Harvard-
Yale-Princeton combination, and, so
far as we can tell, all the efforts of the
board are directed toward this plan.
Five years ago Michigan's schedule
was a patchwork conceived in prayer.
In those days athletic crumbs were
banquets for the Wolverine. In 1914 a
straw vote repudiated the Conference
by an overwhelming majority, and
.iichigan's chances of re-entering the
fold went glimmering.
We want western games. \'e want
to meet Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Chicago, but at the same time we
hate to give tip th idea of our amii-
tion in regard to Harvard-Yale-Prince-
ton. We are flirting with them more
intimately every year. We are growing
stronger in our athletic strength. The
games just announced show that we
lave reached the stage where we can
successfully negotiate a preconceived
schedule carrying only one out-of-town
game.
:\t times things look pretty dark for
our athletic ambitions, but when we
look at them in the perspective our
eastern relations appear to be worth
more than they are generally given
credit for.
New Plan Adopted to Assist Poor.
To provide for the poor and the
unemployed of the city is the pur-
pose of a new plan which the poor
commissioner and the park commis-
sioner of Ann Arbor have been work-
ing on for several weeks and which
they are just now putting into effect.
The trees which the city has had cut
down every year by private persons
are now being cut down by the city
and being hauled to the city yards
the trees into proper size for firewood,
taking what they need. The unem-
ployed and the "bum" who come to
the city prison for meals during the
winter will be sent to the woodpile to
earn their food. The wood that they
cut will then be used by those fam-
ilies who can not cut their own wood.
Although this plan at first seems a
great deal more expensive than the
previous one, where the trees were
given to the man who would cut them
down, thus saving the city any ex-
pense, in the long run it will be eco-
nomical, since the several thousands
of dollars which the city has spent ev-
ery year for the poor will not have
to be used now that firewood is pro-
vided the needy families The cutting
of the trees and the hauling of them to
the city yards is practically the only
expense the city will now have in
dealing with the conditions of the
poor, and this amount does not even
equal that spent for cordwood last
year.
The poor commissioner will take
charge of the work and will see that
only the proper families are provided.
D. U. R. to Demonstrate Hand Brakes.
The ordinance requiring the use of
air brakes on the local street cars has
been held up in its passing by the
request of the D. U. R., who wish to
show the council that the hand brakes
are enough for the cars here. There
will be a demonstration of both kinds
of brakes by the D. U. R. for the
ordinance committee of*the council
the first part of next week and the fate
of this ordinance rests upon this dem-
onstration.
Ordinance Committee Plans Measures
The ordinance committee is consid-
ering two new measures, .one an
amendment to the present law against
the use of ashes on slippery sidewalks,
and the other an ordinance regulating
more closely the placing of the gaso-
line stations in the city. The pro-
posed amendment would allow coal
ashes to be used on the walks, and
the proposed ordinance, coming as a
result of a communication; would cause
closer examination of the conditions of
the gasoline stations.
New Fire Apparatus on Way.
The apparatus due the first of
the year has been shipped and the first

La Grippe Stops Hospital Operations.
No operations have been performed
at the University hospital for more
than two weeks. The La Grippe epi-
demic has, attacked the hospital, and
about 40 nurses are now sick. It is
probable that no operations will be
performed for the next two weeks, as
the nurses who are not sick are kept
busy tending to the sick nurses.
Health Service Fights Acute Colds.
Many students are taking advantage
of the free medical service offered by
the University health service. At pres-
ent about 200 patients are being treat-
ed every day. More than 60 per cent
of these are cases of acute colds.

she is suffering with a severe attack
of pneumonia.

Innijal Tournament Expected to Close
Within Two Weeks; Prizes
to Be Awarded
The annual bridge tournament of the
Michigan Union will be started one
week from today, and will be con-
tinued for two weeks, the players par-
ticipating only on Friday. There are
cards posted in the Union near the
cigar counter, where participants can
sign up, and although it is customary
for couples of players to sign up to-
gether, there are arrangements being
made to take care of the individual
players and to find partners for them.
Last year more than 35 couples took
part in the tournament, and two prizes
were awarded, a silver stein being
given to each of the members of the
winning couple, and a pack of cards
to each member of the second best
couple. This year there will be two
prizes awarded again, but these have
not yet been selected.
at 4:45 o'clock hereafter.
Until the committee on student af-
fairs .decides that the Suffrage club
of the university may organize, there
will be no further meetings of that
society.
The following women are requested
to report for basketball practice on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:40
o'clock: Misses Bavley, Butler, Chy-
noweth, Duemling, Duff, Eggleston,
Foler, Glany, Hagarty, Hougberg, Mc-
Clelland, McDonald, McGrath, Muel-

Tubbs.
Mrs. Emma Fox of Detroit, parlia-
mentarian for the state federation of
women's clubs, will speak at 9:00
o'clock, Saturday morning, in Sarah
Caswell Angell hall.
A growing need of parliamentary
knowledge is felt among the women
of the university, as the ability to con-
duct a meeting is required everywhere
of women in all walks of life, and be-
cause of the need of such a training
the Women's League has asked Mrs.
Fox to speak. All women are in-
vited to attend whether they are uni-
versity students or not.
piece will arrive January 10. The sec-
ond piece will arrive soon after the
first, and the entire new system will
be in operation within a couple of
weeks.
New Playground Is Planned.
The park commissioners are form-
ing plans for the use of the two new
pieces of property which they bought
last fall, the large triangle piece op-
posite the Trigon house, and the large
tract of seven acres near West Park.
The latter tract will be used as a
playground and picnic ground, three
or four acres of it being given over
to gardens which the school children
will take care of during the summer.
Walter Bilbie of this city was elect-
ed a director of the Michigan State
Good Roads association, at the meet-
ing held in Battle Creek sanitarium'
Wednesday.
IForty residents of this city and
Washtenaw county, attended the con-
vention, the purpose of which was to
boost the project promoted by that
organization to build a road from De-
troit to Chicago, through the state of
Michigan. The road, as now planned,
will 'go through the counties of Ber-
rien, Cass, Van Buren, Kalamazoo,
Calhoun. Jackson, Washtenaw and
Wayne. The cities touched along the
route include, Ann Arbor and Ypsi-
lanti.
Prof. J. J. Cox was one of the
speakers at the banquet held in the
evening. He told the gathering that
the people of this county are hear-
tily in favor of the road, and asked
that each county have the privilege
of building the kind of road it wanted.
The meeting resulted in arousing a
great deal of enthusiasm and the dele-
gates returned home determined to do
their level best in assisting the carry-
ing out of the new project.
