Clothing Trade Returns to Normal
Now that practically all the former
membera of the S. A. T. C. and naval
unit are back in citizens' clothes
again, those tailors who cater to stu-
dents report that their business is
assuming more normal proportions
again. Their' principal( businer all
fallhas been in altering the terrible
hitting handouts that the boys receiy-
mU J Le n igh cost or Labor and the
scarcity of wool," stated Mr. A. F.
Marquardt, speaking from the cus-;
tom-made clothing point of view. "In
fact, indications point to a higher price
for yard goods, due to the present'
shortage of wool," he added. Mr. Mar-
quardt has received circulars from
several of the larger woolen houses of
the country which state that wool-
ens will be from $1 to $2.50 more on
the yard this spring.
Mr. S. Burchfield, also speaking of
the custom-made trade, said, "Al-
though the prices this spring will be
as high or higher than theywere in
the fall, a drop can be looked for in
the coming fall season."
Mr. C. J. Hutzel, of Hutzel &Go.,
stated that prices will remain the
same, but that the material and the
work in the spring stocko f ready-
made clothes are better than they
have been for past seasons.
Another dealer in suits and coats,
Mr. E. F. Mills, said, "Owing to the
fact that the spring stock will be made
out of last year's woolens, the prices;
cannot come down within a period of
eight months or a year."
On the merchandise side of the ques-a
tion the buyer for the Win. goo dyear
Co. states that prices will be the same
or slightly higher this spring. This
he says is due to the fact that the ex-
portation of manufactured goods is
greatly increased. Here, also, the
high cost of labor is an important fac-
tor and a lowering of prices cannot
come in this branch until rthe next'
cotton crop has been picked and man-
ufactured.
Should anyone have the idea that
the life of police officers in Washtenaw
county is all danger and hardship in
apprehending violators of the liquor
laws, hark ye:
A suave, well dressed gentleman
from the train at a local railroad sta-
tion. He carried a small ahnd grip
and a handsome leather suitcase. As
if to get his bearings, he glanced fur-
tively about, starting as his eyes en-
countered those of a husky member of
Ann Arbor's "arm of the law."
Runner Worthy Man for Varsity
With perhaps a little undue haste.
he began to make his way across the
street, pausing a couple of times to
glance nervously at the stalwart guar-
dian of the peace. After the last
glance, the nervous one bolted sudden-
ly the remainder of the way to the op-
posite sidewalk.
He of the silver badge, puzzled as
to the cause of the other's perturba-
tion, started slowly to cross the street,
to offer, if possible his assistance.
This was the last straw. With a blood
curdling whoop, the fellow dropped
his luggage and bolted up a nearby al-
ley at a speed that would have the
envy of the Varsity's best..
" I Just Came from Chicago."
"Bugs!" ejaculated the officer, and
calling upon the god of speed, set his.
official heels in motion in the same di-
retcion as that taken by the other.
He did not have far to go, for the run-
ner stopped and sunk to his knees as
soon as he heard the labored pounding
of the offIoial feet,
"Honest, I didn't want to sell it,"
the frightened fugitive began as soon
fas the officer's hand had touched his
quivering shoulder. "I just came from
Chicago, and I wad taking a little to
Detroit to treat some friends. You
can have it all."
"What's th' , began his captor.
Then seeing a sudden light, his voice
tools on its official tone.
"Aw, tell it to the judge. Come on
with me."
Booze Bungler Pays Fine.
The thoroughly frightened ex-trav-
eler, with his now doubtful baggage
was soon safely lodged in a substan-
tial brick building on West Ann street.
A little questioning, and a little in-
vestigation revealed that he had really
tried to tell the truth when first
caught. "It" turned out to be eight
quarts of a popular brand, in Chicago,
of that which is taboo in Michigan.
After paying a fine in three figures,
and promising to leave boooze toting
in the future to others of a more cal-
lous conscien'ce than his, the man was
allowed to proceed undisturbed to
Detroit, where he works as a drafts-
man for a well known manufacturer.

A- TERICAN: .YOUTHFULNESS AND
FRESHNESS OF TROOPS GAVE
THEM HEART
"The future has chosen France and
America, two great republics, the one
old and just through a great battle,
the others young, just through aiding
the other young, just through aiding
side by side .to bring light to the
world" said Professor H. P. Thieme
in his lecture entitled "France and
During the War," the first of a series
of French lectures to be given here.
In his talk Professor Thieme empha-
sized therrelations between France
arnd America due to this war, rather
than the deeds of either nation in the
war. He looked at the war in three
different phrases. Professor Thieme
declared that the first was that of the
French soldiers. The world would
never fully appreciate what the first
two years of the war meant to the
Frenchmen. It was not a question of
Alsace-Lorraine, but of right opposed
to force.
The second phase was the French
women's part. They were the co-
workers of the men, inspired them,
took their places in the workfields, and
hid their sadness and tears behind
cheerful and gay smiles.
The next phase dealt with America's
participation in France. For the
weary French our Americans were
doers of marvels ,the fountain of
youth, the elixir of life. They saw
our great optimism and had confidence
in us, having met our soldiers in
China and Cuba. We conquered them
from the first by our youthfulness and
gayety and they gave us the welcome
oz brothers, Professor Thieme believes.
"They, in the consciousness of their
culture, did not try to force their
Ideas upon our boys." He continued,
