THE MICHIGAN
DAILY
Annapolis, Md., Dec. 19.-At least a
year and possibly two years will be re-
quired before the nation can return to
normal peace conditigns, said Secre-
tary Daniels here today in an address
to the conference of state governors.i
Stating that a year and a half was re-I
quired to contract with the British.J
ships to carry 2,000,000 soldiers toI
France, Secretary Daniels warned
against over-optimism in expecting all
soldiers home within a year. Due to
the fact that the United States lost
less in the war and hence is the rich-
est nation with long shore lines, he
urged a big increase in the navy.
War Work Pledges Bring $9,000 So Far
War Work pledges are coming in
as well as can be expected, according
to the committee in charge of the
work. Up to date a little more than
$9,000 has been turned in.

Althoukh the ban has been raised on the
sale of typewriters for other than war essen-
tial needs, it' will be some time before orders
for new machines can be delivered.
I have on hand a few new Corona and
Hammond machines, also a fine stock of re-
built L. C. Smith, Underwood, Hammond and
other high grade typewriters at PRE-WAR
prices. A typewriter makes a very desirable
as well as practical Christmas gift.
Liberty bonds will be accepted or time
given for payment if desired.

Cordovan For Men
Washington, D. C.-American army
aviators in the United States flew an
estimated distance of 30,000,000 miles
in a single week in June, or 1,223
times the distance around the equator.
This is one of the interesting facts
developed in the annual report by
Major-general William L. Kenley,
chief of military aeronautics. He
pointed out that aviators flew 407,999
hours in the fiiscal year as against 745
hours in 1914 when the United States
scarcely had an aerial establishment.
Nation Lacks in 1914
The Allied mission, backed by the
French premier called for 2,000 planes
a month, a total of 5,000 pilots and
50,000 mechanicians. This was the
forerunner of the original $640,000,-
000 appropriation by congress for avia-
tion. Kenley pictured the nation as
lamentably lacking in 1914 in airplane
knowledge and facilities.
Develops Rapidly
In the two years thereafter, the Al-
lies developed aviation remarkably,
installing radio outfits, efficient photo-
graphing processes, made regular
bombing planes and developed engine
efficiency to 500 horse power.
The United States was without fac-
ilities at the outbreak of the war, yet
did a remarkable work in developing
flies, mechanics and equipment, the
general indicated. As against a per-
sonnel of 65 officers and 1,120 men at
the outset, there were Nov. 3, in air
service, 14,230 officers and 124,767
men.
Couldn't Catch
Huns to Hit 'em
Lieut Waldo 'McKee, ex-'18, of the
United States field artillery, tells in
a letter the day before peace was
declared of chasing the hun in the
latter part of the final offensive.
Lieutenant McKee was given his
commission as a second lieutenant at
the Artillery school, France. He was
with the headquarters of his brigade
when the armistice was signed.
"We have chasedthe huns over 30
kilos in a straight line," he says,
"which means that we have traveled
over 50 miles by.road - and such
roads! We would get into position
about 9 or 10 o'clock at night and I
would get my detail out and run lines
the rest of the night. Perhaps we
would have a few shots the next
morning and then pull out and beat
it ahead. The last three days we had
not a wink of sleep and averaged
meal of corned beer, crackers and
water per day."
900 MARK TO BE PASSED IN
LIT COLLEGE BY VACATION
Re-enrollment number of the men
students in the literary college are
expected to go far above the 900 mark
total before the Christmas vacation
begins. This total does not include
the students in the naval unit, should
they be released today. About 40
former S. A. T. C. men re-enrolled
in this college during the last two
days. Five men who recently re-
turned from several of the army
camps also registered.
Cripples to Find Work in Toy Shops
New ;York, Dec. 19.-Opportunity
for immediate employment awaits
thousands of crippled soldiers, ac-
cording to an announcement made at
the convention of Toy Manufacturers
of America here today. The need for
toys is great and the work is light
and interesting, it was declared.
Crippled soldiers unable to leave
their homes to work will be sent the
necessary material for making toys.11
Six Waiters Needed During Vacation
Any students who wish to work
during the Christmas holidays should
report to the steward at the Michigan
Union. The steward wants six waiters
for work during vacation.
All organizations and fratern-
ities who want to be represent-
ed in the 1919 Michiganensian
must pay ther contracts before
vacation or their copy will not
be run. The. business manager
will receive the money in room
1 of the Press building from 1 to
6 o'clock every afternoon.
In order to accommodate the crowds
the Majestic will run three shows in
the evening; at 7:00, 8:10 and 9:15.-

Electric Curling Irons
She would be happy and you would be too, if you were dressing to
go out for an evening's enjoyment.
Whether it is to a party, to the theater, the "movies" or just to a
friend's house, she must look her very best.
In the preparations the dressing of her hair rightly takes first
place. It is not safe to take any risk by using an ordinary curling iron,
indifferently heated.
The Electric Curling Iron is safe, convenient and always ready for
use and works far better than the ordinary kind.
