PAGI FATHER IS JUDGE, DAUGHTER 5 U ""3 " SE IN PICE1 IS LAWYER, IN THIS CASE Peculiar Coincidence Occurs in Law Dispute in Hawaii; Both Mich.-" igan Graduates Due to Close of Factories in War Infested Region of Europe ' New York, Mar. 23.-People wishing their purchases wrapped up will soon pay extra if the present drain on the paper market increases at the rate at which it has been during the past few months. The rapid increase in the price of paper is due to the shortage of raw materials for its manufacture owing to the present war. Almost all the paper factories in the war infested region have closed and Europe is looking to this country for its supply. One of our large factories, whose output is 100 tons per day, recently contracted to send its entire product to the Ger- man government, and it is known that a number of other factories have been approached with similar contracts. William C. Redfield, secretary of commerce, has recently sent out bul- letins calling the attention' of the peo- ple in general to the value of rags and old paper and the necessity for sav- ing such hitherto almost worthless ar- ,ticles. It reads as follows: "Something like 15,000 tons of dif- ferent kinds of paper and paper board are manufactured every day in the United States and a large portion of this, after it has served its purpose, could be used over again in some class of paper. A large portion of it, how- -ever, is either burned or otherwise wasted. This, of course, has to be re- placed by new materials. In the early days of the paper industry, pub- licity was given to the importance of saving rags. It is of scarcely less im- portance now. The Department of Commerce is glad to bring this matter to the attention of the public in the hope that practical results may flow from it. A little attention to the sav- ing of rags and old papers will mean genuine relief to our paper industry and will diminish the drain upon the sources of supply for our raw ma- terials." Honolulu, Hawaii, is the scene of an interesting court dispute involving two Michigan graduates, Marguerite K.: Ashford, '15L, and her father, Circuit Judge Clarence W. Ashford, '80L. Miss Ashford, who was recently ad- mitted to practice law in all the courts of the territory, is one of the attorneys for the defense in the case of one Loo violation of the lottery laws. The case was to be argued in the court of her father. The prosecution objected to this, because of the prejudice that Judge Ashford might be expected to have in favor of his daughter, and re- quested that the defense agree to the selection of another judge. Miss Ash- ford refused to do this. The question was carried to the su- preme court by the prosecution on a motion of the government. There Miss Ashford appeared for the first time, arguing ably on the motion, and giv- ing the government a "panning" that brought smiles to the faces of the judges. No decision on the motion had been reached at the time of the send- ing in of the report. While in the uni- versity, Miss Ashford was elected a member of the Order of the Coif. HUSSEY FAVORS VISITORS' NIGHT AT OBSERVATORY The Observatory has had no definite time at which visitors could become acquainted with this most interesting department of the university, but Prof.j W. J. Hussey, director of the Observ- atory, is greatly in favor of any plan by which his department might have a regular visitors' night. Professor Hussey has made recom- mendations to the regents at different times that a necessary sum of money be set aside to pay an attendant to! take charge of the Observatory on such evenings, but as yet no provision has been made for this. On accountl of the great number of persons who! would visit the Observatory it is al- most impossible for the regular fac-1 ulty to stay in charge. However, con- trary to previous arrangements, the main part of the building is now open at all times to visitors. Select Chaperones for Union Dance Mr. and Mrs. Arthur" J. Decker, and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bringham have been chosen as chaperones for this week's Union dance. The committeemen will be announced later. There has been a feeling of dissatis-} faction among the chaperones of late because of the fact that they are al- most entirely ignored by those present at the dances. The committee in charge of the Union dances wishes that those present would make an at- tempt to be more courteous to the chaperones in the future.
