Issue Editor-Renaud Sherwood DON'T FORGET TO COME BACK You men who are making your suit- case-laden way toward the railroad stations these days, don't forget to come back! You are planning to re- turn in February or next fall; you've told the fellows so, and that's what you're going toi tell people when you get home-for a while anyway. But it won't be many weeks or prob- ably even days before you will begin to hear reasons advanced why you should change your mind. There are lots of things to do in that home town of yours and some of them pay good money. In spite of the fact that home town folks are prone to scoff at the value of "college," the fact that you have been here for a year or two or even a few months is going to give you an advantage over other return- ing men in getting a job. All around you opportunities will open up; you will realize that some of them are blind alleys, but you will also be con- vinced that others are not, and espec- ially if the money to continue in the University comes hard or isn't in sight at all, the temptation to forget your resolution to come back and fin- ish will be overpoweringly strong. So before you go home to meet this situation take stock of yourself as you now are, consider what you will be ten years from now if you complete your college course, and what you will be if you do not. These are the fac- tors which a man should take into consideration before making a big de- cision. Imperfect as conditions at kthe University have been this fall, small as the chance has been for men in the military units to get full value from their academic work, still you have at least received some impres- siois and standards by which to judge the degree of mental training which you possess at the present time. Is it all that you could ever possibly need? If it seems sufficient to enable you to meet any situation in which you now imagine yourself, are you sure that the unexpected, the big chance, may not some day come to you? Look farther ahead than this winter or next year. Think of the time that comes to every man who has neglect- ed opportunities for training when he reaches the job that marks his limit. Think of the finest people you know, the kind whose friendship exhilarates you and fills you with a restive de- sire for self-betterment. Think of what it would mean to you to build yourself up to mental equality with them. And then promise yourself that with all the power of will you possess, that you will keep your resolution to re- turn from being one of the New Year variety guaranteed to be broken be- fore JSan. 1. Come back to Michigan; she has pledged herself to make it worth your while if you have the stuff in you, and Michigan keeps her word. THE JUNIORS TAKE HOLD The juniors have officially undertak- en the task of re-establishing student traditions and have invited the seniors to help them. Sophomores as well as freshmen are to be reminded of the duties and observances proper to their years and station. This is a little bit hard on the pride of '21, which made an honest effort early in the fall to do its duty by the fresh- man class. However, the chief sopho- more failing is not lack of ability to discipline the verdant frosh, it is a tendency to volate sophomore tradi- tions. The red toque is not as fre- quently seen on the campus as it should be, sophomores smoke "M" pipes unconcernedly on the senior benches and generally act as if the word traditions applied only to year- lings. All this emphasis on conduct, seem- ingly of little moment, is justifiable because of what these student conven- tions symbolize. It makes little dif- ference to the upperclassman whether the frosh removes his hat at com- mand or not as far as the action it- self is concerned. But long years of experience has left the knowledge in the race of college men, that the act of removing his hat causes the newcomer in the University to real- ize that however large a pebble he feels himself to be, he is now on so large a beach that it will be some time before his size will make him conspicuous; also that all about him are numerous other rocks of geologic venerability and no mean proportions. ,Army life and regulations have in- terfered sadly with the customary ob- servance of these significant forms, but with the passing of the military, they re-assert themselves with their old strength, thanks to the energy of '20. If the class can maintain its motto of. "firmness, but no hazing," it will not only perform a service for Michigan and the present underclass- men, but will set a standard of loy- alty and good sense for future class- es to measure up to. Life in the army hasn't sweetened the student soldiers particularly. Most of them would have melted yes- terday if it. had. The burning sands of the desert weren't as dry yesterday as deserts are reputed to be. Something like dry Detroit. It is reported that Mr. ilsonP f the U. S.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC TO HOLD CONCERT The twilight concert to be given at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the School of Music in co- operation with the War Camp Com- munity service will be quite out of the ordinary in that it will consist mainly of comunity singing. During the pre- sent year this sort of music has been provided, for the soldiers and sailors of this University, under the direc- tion of Theodore larrison, and it is now planned to provide similar pro- grams for the general public from time to time. In addition to the famil- iar hymns, patriotic, and trench songs which will be sung by the audience with words thrown upon the screen, James Hamilton of the vocal faculty of the School of Music will sing a group of "Negro Spirituals" which have been arranged for solo voice by Burleigh. These songs are used large- ly by the southern negroes at their re- ligious camp meetings. The general public is cordially in- vited to attend the concert, no ad- mission is charged but parents are requested not to bring small children. Flu Masks Donned in Kalaniazoo Kalamazoo. Dec. 12. - With the in- fluenza epidemic closing ban again being enforced in this city, schools, churches, theaters and other public places being closed, hundreds of workers, particularly in the stores, again are wearing influenza masks to help prevent a spread of the con- tagion. In Bay City, Flint, Saginaw, and many other towns the masks are al- so appearing again. It is understood that 1w. Olin, secretary of the state board of l'alth, recommends that res- idents of all inflenza ridden towns use masks. You will :'mways find satisfaction by adveritsing in the Daily-Adv.

They will gath- er at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Lane hall and forward a telegram to the congress expressing their ap- preciation of its importance and their co-operatioti in its aims. The Philadelphia congress is come posed of Jews from all over the na- tion delegated with authority by the Jews of America, who beside discuss- ing Jewish problems of all kinds, ex- pect to bring the "Jewish question" before the world peace congress now convening at Versailles. Hope is high that the Jewish question of the last two thousand years will there reach a settlement. Thousands of Jews were recently massacred by Poles in Poland and their American kin are uniting to prevent the repetition of such atrocities in the future. The interest in reconstruction work and in the solution of the Jewish ques- tion is expected to bring out the Jew- ish students in a body for Sunday aft- ernoon's meeting. Speakers for the meeting will be announced later. MIXER TO BE HELD AT BAR- BOUR GYM THIS AFTERNOON The annual all campus mixer giv- en by the Women's league will be held at Barbour gymnasium at 2:30 this afternoon. Its purpose is to help all the students on the campus to become acquainted and to promote general good fellowship among the students. An admission of 25 cents will be charged. The proceeds of this affair will go to the war work which the league has undertaken. The mixer will be chaperoned by members of the advisory board of the league. The committee in charge of this af- fair consists of Lois de Frie, '21, and Katherine Kilpatrick, '19. The league extends a cordial invi- tation to all students to come to this mixer. Everyone is asked and if in- dications today may be relied upon, there will be a record breaking crowd at the mixer. Always-Daily service-Always.

"WEAR MORE CLOTHES AND SAVE COAL" SAYS CHICAGO DOCTOR Chicago.-"It is our patriotic duty to put on more clothes, save coal and improve health", was the substance of an address before the Public Health Administration section of the, Ameri- can Public Health association by Dr. Jeannette F. Throckmorton of Clari- tan Iowa. "There are fashions not only in dress but in trend of thought and morals" Dr. Throckmorton continued. "Of these that of protection seems most often disregarded by the gentler sex. The custom of wearing summer clothing in winter is a pernicious one and the continuel chilling of the skin causes congestion of the internal organs with attendant ills. "Erect carriage and gait are impor- tant qualities and are influenced by the style of corset and shoes worn. "Dress and morals are intimately associated and modesty in dress ap- pears in demand but little at pres- ent. Our adolescent daughters often use poor judgment not only in dress but in conduct."
