The course of sophomores and freshmen is thus made clear as far as the old custom of laying a drag- net for freshmen, doing physical vio- lence to them, damaging clothing, and generally making them the sport of1 an uncontrolled mob. There can be no more of this. This sort of thing has always been of doubtful value and has on certain occasions resulted in pos- itive injury. The Daily has been and is opposed to it and has expressed its opposition editorially before. But every person who has come in. contact with the members of the pres- ent freshman class, particularly with those who are not under military dis- cipline, recognizes their need of an individual taking-down. The break- down of student standards and tradi- tions has left them to continue plac- idly the attitude of the high school senior who used to help the faculty run the school. Physical violence will not take this out of them but a few words from the wise may. Let the upperclassman who perceives a fresh- man, evidently unaiare of the fact that he is now on a beach on which he is not the only pebble, take him aside and tell him the few plain facts neces- sary, showing him the error of his ways in the same way in which any man who has reached years of ma- turity would reprove a youngster for impertinence. And let freshmen be warned that respect for their elders is a wholesome course. PROHIBITION SAID TO CAUE EPTYASYLUM INVESTIGATION SHOWS MARKED< DECREASE IN NUMBER OF LUNATICS Detroit, Oct. 24.-The combination of liquor prohibition and the war has brought about a great change at Eloise, where 1,360 unfortunates of Detroit and Wayne county are housed. County supervisors and other offi- cials interested in the institution as- sembled there and made a trip of in-, spection over the entire 600-acre tract. Dr. John J. Marker, superin- tendent, told how the institution has been affected by the war and the abol- ishment of liquor in Michigan. In the Eloise infirmary where there were 828 patients in Oct., 1917, there are now but 527. The Detroit fac- tories have employed men who were outcasts six monthe or a year ago. Many who were mental wrecks six months ago, because of over-indul- gence in alcohol, are now at work making themselves useful to society. Six months ago there was a long waiting list of persons wishing ad- mittance. Then it was filled to much more than its capacity. Now it is comfortably housing its 1,360 inmates. Orin P. Gulley presided at Wednes- day's meeting, and among the speak- ers were Harry H. Prenzlauer, Sec- retary of the board, Aldermen Lit- tlefield and Kunz and mebers of the board.

HOUSE LOWERS SUR TAXES ON INCOMES BELOW $100,000 Washington, Oct. 24. - Sur taxes, adopted by the house, on individual net incomes below $100,00, would be lowered, and those on incomes in ex- cess of that amount increased under amendments to the war revenue bill adopted yesterday by the senate fi- nance committee. One per cent would be levied on in- comes bteween $5,000 and $6,000, with an additional one per cent sur tax for each $2,000 in excess of that amount up to $100,000, when the rate would be 52 per cent. A graduated scale is then fixed under which a sur tax of 65 per cent would be levied on net incomes exceeding $1,000,000. CHANGE TO EASTERN TIME BY D. U. R.

Getting by with a two-day-old shave is one of the feats in which the stu- dent soldier takes pride. Anyway, pots are being .worn this fall. I BUY YOUR BOOKS and SUPPLIES - ts AT 'hus President Wilson brings to a se, conclusively and in unequivocal guage the civilian end of the inter-' ange of notes between Germany and United States on peace. In an- er paragraph he says that if the les decide to accept peace negotia- ns under Wilson's 14 terms modified d enslarged by subsequent state- nts, the military advisers of the les and the United States will state terms of an armistice, such terms to make it "impossible" for Ger- ,ny to resume the struggle. Those terms are surely sufficiently ;orous to satisfy the most uncom- omising bitter ender, and yet no asoning pacifist could ask less. ce again President Wilson has ex- cised his power of driving his train thought straight to the vital issue his single track mind, and his tes have given the people opportun- to think things over and travel th him. The President seized upon e salient weakness of the German sition, that the reforms of which Ince Maximilian talked were of the ure; that participation in a govern- g sense of the German people in e settlement of this very much pre- at war was not only not accorded the German people, but was ex- essly withheld from them. Having made this point the Presi- nt says he deems it his duty to y "without any attempt to soften iat seem harsh words, that the na- ns of the world do not and can- t trust the word of those who have en masters of German policy." ley are still in the saddle, as far as is war is concerned, and President ilson says that surrender is the ly course for Germany unless those litary masters are unhorsed. In esident Wilson's words there is no nt of compromise with wrong; no ggestion of palliation of crime to ing an easy peace. Still, the door is open for the Ger- an people to obtain peace, but the Mies of Foch, Haig and Pershing ard the doorway, and the Hun must ave his weapons outside. President Wilson is an American, is note demonstrates again; and Am- ican ideals are ideals of right.. COURSE IN NURSING NOT PLANNED YET University authorities deny the ru- mor that plans are now under con- sideration whereby a combined lit- erary and scientific nursing course will be offered to University women. The rumor, given credence in a De- troit paper, further stated that with- in five years' time, by means of actual training in' nursing, the women would be given bachelor of science degrees together with nurses' diplonias quali- fying the recipients to fill executive positions. This plan has already been adopted by several other state universities where a superintendent and a staff of nursing teachers were easily procur- able. It is not improbable that offi- cials here will also adopt it, although as yet no systematic discussion has been undertaken.

A large number of manufacturing plants have stored tremendous quantities of the fuel, in order to avoid shortage in case of a breakdown of transport- ation. Soft coal is easily rendered subj.:t to spontaneous combustion through p'essure, and tl.e heat whi Ih is held bound within the mass. Occasionally coal irt-m dis'ricts, wnere pyrites is common, contains small pockets of almost pure sulphur, and in such coal combu tion is brought about very easily. The storage on such a large scale this fall is unprecedented, and few precautions have been taken against danger of fire. Many of the plants have spread their coal over large areas, reducing pressure, and heating danger. only and 9, 10, and 11:10 o'clock at night for Ann Arbor.
