Night Editor-Herman Lustfield Wilson. We are beginning to realize that it is better to have whatever supply there may be of any essential commodity within the reach of all, even though none has all he would like, than to have high prices stimulate production, making it possible for the wealthy to have a plethora of necess- aries, while the wage-earner finds it impossible to get any. We are apt to recall good old Jean Jacques Rousseau and his dictum that society exists not for the highest good of the greatest number,, but for the greatest good of all. Community ef- fort is being emphasized, and com- munity responsibility. Unrestricted ir- dividualism is being viewed through the eyes of the less fit por- tion of the people. We read that Spanish influenza originates among the poorly housed and clad denizens of the river flats, and spreads to the nabobs on Piety Hill. Piety Hill is be- ginning to feel, somewhat vaguely as yet, that if it wants to escape the epidemic it must see that the river flats are better protected from ex- posure. We are answering Cain's question in the affirmative, and realiz- ing that in so doing we are blessing ourselves and saving our country.

THE *WAR VARSITY Michigan's second war-time foot- ball team and her coaches are labor- ing under conditions such as have never before confronted them. There is no need of asking support for th' Varsity for true Michigan men are ai- ways loyal to their teams. Our op- p'-nt..nts are trying to develop teams under ex:.ctly the same conditions and difficulties. As a consequence visit- ors to Ferry field this year will not witness the same perfect machine-like work, the same quality of individual playing, and the indications of long Bard practice. Football men are not being ex- empted from any of the tasks their fellow students in the S. A. T. C. are required to do but are devoting the hour and a half allotted for pleas- ure and personaldutiesto producea team of which their school can be justly proud. They are unable to do their best because of time and their own physical limits, which makes it impossible for a man to drill several hours per day and then play top speed football for the same length of time. Most of the students will attend the game because of the personal .pleasure they secure. They will also root because of the American inabil- ity to keep quiet when a good play is made or clever headwork shown. What they are apt to do is to be un- justly harsh in, their criticism of the players and prone to judge the work as a whole by the standards of normal years. Formerly it was justifiable to complain if the Varsity was not almost perfect and greatly above average, for it was within the limits of possibility to produce such a team and excuses were not in order. This year we should have a Varsity equal to that of our opponents and able to maintain Michigan's standing in the Conference. We must not and cannot expect a team of a 1907 or 1917 type, when other schools are either refusing to put a team into the field because of lack of material or .are frankly admit- ting that the teams they have are 50 per cent below par. But we can ex- pect the same Michigan spirit in the support which this war Varsity will receive. SHARE UP! The war industries board has regu- lated the price and quality of shoes. It will regulate the price, quality and distribution of all wearing apparel, Chairman Bernard Baruch has stated. We have sugar cards, and will soon have underwear cards or their equiv- alent. As a matter of fact, big city department stores are already insist- ing on the personal history of pur- chasers of those very necessary gar- ments and will sell only a limited number to each purchaser. This is another blow at the law of supply and demand, and, as such, will be feared and deplored by many authoritative economists, who will show that such action will reduce pro- duction and that there will be con- sequent scarcity of wearing apparel. But much water has passed under the mill since the United States be- gan price and distribution regulation of necessities, beginning with coal and wheat. We have had opportun- ity to observe the effect of price reg- ulation contravening the. natural law of supply and demand. From our ob- servations we can begin to form an idea of the fundamental principles on which the President Wilson school of economists are proceeding. "Had the price of wheat not been regulated, bread would have been beyond the reach of the average wage earner," is the gist of statements by President The roosters of Ann Arbor no long- have any occasion to feel lonesome when they get up before sunrise. When the S. A. T. C. gets uni- forms the photographers will join the ranks of war profiteers. And at night the overworked Ann Arbor police force can stay at home with his family. CARUSO'S NEW YORK CONCERT NETS MILLIONS FOR LOAN Mrs. Enrico Caruso, bride of the celebrated tenor who sings October 19 in Hill auditorium, has become her husband's librettist. At a Liberty Loan rally last Monday in Carnegie hall, NI. Y., Caruso sang the verses to Um- berto Giordano's "Canzone Guerresca." At this concert seats were given gra- tuitously to subscribers for Liberty bonds, the highest subscribers receiv- ing the best seats. Many people sub- scribed $10,000 and $20,000 for a seat. The total amount for the house was $4,300,000. In many ways this was considered the most remarkable con- cert ever heard in this country. Be- side Caruso, Galli-Curci, John McCor- mick, and Heifetz appeared on the program. Training Camps to Have Golf Links Chicago, Oct. 4. - The United States commission on army training camps has decided to provide golf for men in training for soldiers, and golf as- sociations have been asked to pro- vide cibs, balls and caddy bags for the camp golfers. The government will provide the linls. You will always find satisfaction by adveritsing in the Daily.-Adv. MEDICS ARE PTRIOTS SENIOR DECLARES WASHINGTON KNOWS BEST ON DRILL QUES- TION. Editor, The Michigan Daily: The communication that was pub- lished in yesterday's Daily in re the problem of medics doing drill needs only one glance to see that he (or she) who signed it "A Student" was honest in that much. We should judge from the character of the English that the author was taking Rhetoric 1A to sub statiate his claim to the title over which his article appeared. The medical students have always held a peculiar relationship with. re- gard to the campus in general, for the very reason that it has so far been donsidered inadvisable by those who know for them to drill. A medic is old enough by the time he has qual- ified to enter the school to be above some of the high school tricks which are perpetrated by the students of other colleges. His work is of such a character and the hours so long that he has no time to enter into the festivities of the campus, the athletic work, and other things unless he divides his time. He would have to do half work to do most of the things that the students of three or four one hour courses can do. One good ex- ample which even "A Student" may be able to see into is the fact that in handing out the Union dance ticekets in the past, medic upperclassmen were unable to procure any on account of the late hour at which they left the hdspital. There are many more such instances. Most Medics Enlist Looking back on the records of the Medical school our enthusiastic writ- er can find that fully 90 per cent of the men in the last four classes of the school have enlisted,-I said enlisted, not drafted. The interns at the hos- pital are all there for just a limited time as they all'have their applications in for the service and cannot go until the men in the present senior class have graduated and can take their places. They are holding over some of the brain fever specialists to take care of just such cases as the writer of that most incomprehensible article of yesterday. The bed is reserved for him. A freshman medic who is rarely in the 19 to 21 class anyhow, has every morning hour full, the afternoon is filled wtih a tedious work of standing up for four hours and a half leaning over a table. He comes home at night and studies until the wee sma' hours and then he cannot cover all of the assignment competently. In the spring an extra hour of quiz is added in the morning, an extra lecture hour at four, because there is more daylight. Work All Summer The present senior class has already finished three months of its last year because It voted unanimously to go right through the summer so that it might be able to serve its country earlier.bThe medical faculty consent- ed to stay here and instruct the men. It was entirely voluntary. This at- CUTTING CAFE $.50 PER WEEK Transients ServedC Special Sunday Dinner 50c c State & Monroe Mrs. C. W. Merkelc titude characterizes the entire medical profession and the article that was so badly written yesterday shows the unlimited ignorance of some people. When the time comes tor the medics to drill and the surgeon-general at Washington issues the orders, the medics will be right there when the roll is called. The problem of the combination of drill and medical study that will result in the best medical preparation for the sake of the boys in service is still being worked out. "A Student" will have gray hair by the time he can see this. Michigan medics have a reputation that is hard to beat. They are working for Mich- igan, they are doing their bit by stay- ing here and finishing, and if some- one who hasn't several loose cortical cells gives the order to drill, they will do that much more.
