Street lighting was the most im-
rtant topic discussed in the short
uncil meeting held recently. Mr.
T. Cope, of the Edison company,
yve the council men a demonstration
the Mazda lights which they are
nsidering adopting. The company
ers to install them in the city in
ace of the old arc lights and to
aintain them at a cost of $48 per
ar. The arcs have been costing
0. He explained that more of these
ghts can be installed and operated
an the are lights now in use with
e same, expense and with much bet-
r effect. Several Michigan cities
ve already adopted them. Six
indred Mazda lights have been in-
alled on State street for demonstra-
n. Action on this was referred to
e lighting committee of the council.
The council's attention was also
'ought to a petition which was filed
ith the Michigan railroad commis-
on by. the Michigan State Telephone
mpany. This petition was filed Jan.
and asked an' increase in telephone
tes in the state. A hearing was set
r Jan. 21 to be held at Lansing,

sed raise.

Sophs Non Ready
to go on War Path
"When thieves fall out it's sauce
for the gander."
That's the motto of one freshman
hereabouts. He was a sassy, foolish
freshman. The dignity of the sopho-
more'class was to him a myth. Now,
although he is a little wiser, the
aforesaid dignity is still more or less
of a joke.
As you would expect, while he went
carelessly on his way, his chin high
in the air, certain highly-incensed,
righteously - indignant sophomores
were digging a deep and dreadful pit
for his arrant feet.
Kerplunk l
The unwary gray cap fell in head-
frst and found himself the captive of
three solemn sophomores in a wheezy'
old machine, bound for he knew not
where.
Of course, they dumped him on the
muddy road to make his weary way'
home on foot, if he were lucky enough
to remember the direction.
According to all the ethics of the
case, Sir Frosh should have tiredly
tramped into town at about 11:15,
providing his bump of locality did
not equal his bump of conceit.
But here, revered reader, the great
god of good-luck came along in the
guise of a powerful Packard.
Aha! you mutter that the story is
stale, that occasionally a freshman is
lucky enough to get a lift in such an
extremity, that you want something
new.
Pretty Lucky
Well, here it is.
The driver of the Packard was a
perfectly respectable sophomore, who
innocently or otherwise was helping
a mere freshman play his classmates
for fools.
But wait! Not only did he enter
town ahead of the fellows who thought
they had left him miles behind but'
the sophomores spent a good part of
the night looking for our immortal
freshman, thinking he had wandered
on in the direction of Detroit. Need-
less to say, their search was vain.

REMAINS Of S. A. T. C.
REGIME FST DISAPPER
DEMOLISHING OF TEMPORARY
STRUCTURES PROCEEDS
RAPIDLY
All remains of Michigan's S. A. T.
C. days are fast disappearing. The
last vestige of army days is being
torn away with the rem'oval of the
temporary buildings that were con-
structed by the University on the
campus.,
The large mess hall constructed ad-
jacent to the Michigan Union was torn
down shortly after the S. A. T. C. dis-
banded. Edward C. Pardon, superin-
tendent of the Buildings and Grounds
department, and his corps of workers
are now beginning the task of tear-
ing down the remaining buildings re-
cently used for storing government
property. This property was waiting
to be inventoried, but now the work
of removing the buildings has been
started, since all inventories have
been taken.
All these temporary structures
were erected by the University
through a contract with the govern-
ment. The actual cost of the mate-
rial and labor used in the erection
of these army workshops amounted to
$35,000, according to Superintendent
Pardon. The government will dis-
pose of this property as it thinks
best. It is thought at the present
time that a price will be put on all
the material and disposed of at a
sale to be held at some later date.
The shower-bath house which was
added to Waterman gymnasium will
be moved over to the rear of the
Dentistry building and used by the
University as a storage warehouse.
ENGLISH KI YI'S
FORM CANINE ARMY
(By Associated Press)
London, Jan. 24,- England's dog
army rendered gallant service in the
war. Many a soldier owes his life to
some poor, uncared-for, stray dog.
For nearly two years dogs were em-
ployed by the British as messengers,
as sentries and as guards.
Early in 1917 a war dog school of
instruction was established by the
British war office, and Lieutenant-
Colonel Richardson, who has devoted
his life to training dogs for military
and polce purposes,. was appointed
commandant of the school. Game-
keepers, hunt servants, and shep-
herds were called up from the army
to assist in the work of instruction.
Swift Messengers
After a thorough training in Eng-
land, the dogs were sent to France,
and on the battlefields their skill,
courage and tenacity amazed the
army.
During the great German advance
last spring part of the British line in
front of a famous French town was
cut off by a severe enemy barrage. A
messenger dog was released with an
urgent appeal for reinforcements. It
ran two nles in 10 minutes. The re-
sult was that a French colonial divis-
ion.-_a sent up and prevented A dis-
aster. The messenger was a High-
land sheep dog.
Another dog with a message ran
nearly four miles in 20 minutes, and
still another in the same time car-
ried back from the front a map of an
important captured position, when a
man would have taken an hour and a
half to bring it in.
Large numbers of dogs have been
used for guard duty, many on the
Italian front.
SUMMER SESSION
TO HAVE BEST MEN
The bulletin announcing- the tenta-
tive list of studies for the coming
summer session indicates that the
teaching staff will be exceptionally
fine, according to Dean Edward H.
Kraus of the summer session. The
pamphlet showing the tentative list
of courses to be offered will be in the
registrar's office when the students
register. The need for the ablest men
to conduct the summer courses arises
from the fact that the students who
attend the summer school are often
of a more serious character, and so
many graduate students return.
"Freshmen especially should bear
in mind," said Dean Kraus, "that they
may shorten their residence at the
University by attending three summer
sessions in addition to three regular
sessions, and complete their college
course at the end of the third sum-
mer." Last year about 140 students
were granted degrees on the comple-
tion of requirements during, summer
'school.
The courses in education will be
greatly expanded, and plans are be-
ing made to arrange for a series of
lectures to be given on education by
Marine Eng. Tank
Tests War Models
During the war, when our nation-
al shipbuilding program was being
rushed to the limit, the naval tank
in the basement of the Engineering
building had its part to play. Mod-
els of the various types of ships were
received and tested by members of
the Marine Engineering department.
The Tank, a part of this depart-
ment's equipment,' is one of two in
this country. It measures 300 x20x
9 feet. Above this a moving crane is
bridged,. on which are mounted deli-
cate instruments that record the re-
sistance of the model's hull, and the
power required to propel the minia-
ture vessel at certain rates of speed.
These records form the basis of con-
clusions concerning its practicabil-
ity.
Models of the latest concrete ships
as well as those of the new types of
thc ordinary construction have been
tested. The government tank at the
Navy Yards in Washington, D. C.,
does all the work connected with fed-
eral shipyards, but the local tank re-
ceives much from the other ship-
yards. Then, too, tests of the Ham-
mond Radio Dynamic Torpedo. have
been made. This torpedo is to be
used in coast defense, although no in-
formation as to its success has been
given out.

will Welcome Allied Aid
"An Allied intervention in Poland
would be very gladly welcomed by the
Poles. A large body of the German
army still in different parts of Poland
is lending a hand to anybody willing
to start riots.
Russians Prove Menace
"The Russian bolsheviki, anxious'
to bestow their ideals on the whole
world, are not content with sending
propagandists to Poland, but actually
invade Polish territory, murdering the
people not -ready to accept their
creeds.
"Poland in its present state is not
able to cope with all these difficulties
ahd is looking to the Allies for assist-
ance. If this assistance comes early
enough then the bolshevik problem
will be reduced to the same propor-
tions as it was in Switzerland, Hol-
land, and Argentina. Otherwise the
Russian bolsheviki and the Germans'
may cause much unnecessary suffer-
ing."

County Jail Ready

Most assuredly Spring has arrived.
Elsewise there is ome mistake-for
Sthe county jail has held Spring-house
cleaning, and is once again ready to
receive visitors.
Not only has the entire jail been re-
decorated, but it has also been thor-
oughly disinfected. Wherefore there
need no longer be the slightest ap-
prehension on the part of those in-
tending .to take up residence therein,
as to either the modern condition of
the decoration or the sanitation.
And the rejuvenation has gone far-
ther than merely the cells. The sher-
iff's residence, in front of the jail
proper, has also received a complete
going over. No doubt trustees will
be allowed the use of the best par-
lor in which to entertain their
friends. Come early-and avoid the
rush.
