Issue Editor-Ruth Dailey A NORMAL UNIVERSITY AGAIN Next semester a goodly number of Michigan men, who went out of the University in 1917 and 1918 to fight the battles of liberty's cause, will return. Eagerly they will be to get back "in the harness" and eaorly they will be to uphold again' the traditions of their University. Before. the spring of 1917 there was no thought of allowing campus tradi- tions to pass by unobserved. There was no thought that probably pub- lication work, athletics, dramatics, and the like, would have to be placed upon the shoulders of younger and inexper- ienced men. But the war came, and all was changed.- This year with the advent of the S. A. T. C., traditions and activities had to be left to the fates. Greater things required first attention. To win the war was our only consideration. But now conditions are different. The war is over, the S. A. T. C. is dis- banded, and the old men are coming back. Men who left the University when it was operating on a normal and' practically pre-war basis, will desire to see an immediate reversion. Men who, while still in school saw the cherished and long-upheld traditions' fall before the winds, will also desire a University as it was in the "good old days." Men who for the first time entered Hichigan this year likewise are waiting patiently to see the Uni-.. versity as it has been pictured to them. The consensus of opinion is-the de- sire for a pre-war University, for at Michigan as it used to be. To bringf this about is but a small and pleas- ant task. It is entirely within our domain. It is necessary that it bet done. Let's go, Michigan. Judging from the number of war-t rants being sworn out for Mr. Hohen- .zollern, it would seem that he is i more danger now than during the war. Russia will have to have more ex- perience in the sand-lots before she can break into the big League of Nations. As long as women show more abil- ity in operating a voting machine than in running an automobile, we will have no fear. Could you call it a general election with Pershing and Wood on the tick- et? Winter has almost come.-Headline. We were in hopes it was nearly r We will now have to beat our cork- screws into button-hooks. "MORE TROUBLE" Humorous and Clever College Story with FRANK KEENAN Good Medicine for Exams METHODIST CHURCH SATURDAY, 1:30 P. M Students Welcome Fair Voters Need Only Swear to 21 Curious men who have been hoping that when women commenced regist- ering for the right to' vote they would learn the answer to the riddle, "How Old is Ann?", are doomed to disap- pointment. The rules for registering which are part of the woman suffrage amendment state that fair folk when registering have only to say that they are 21 years of age, or will be at least 21 by election day. If inquisitive clerks request further than this, it is pointed out that they will be laying themselves open to a severe rebuff. All the political parties of the state have joined in an appeal to the women of Michigan to make use of the voting privilege granted to them. CANADIAN INDIAN . MODERNIZED NOW Winnipeg, Can., Jan. 30.-The rom- ance of red war paint and' bold head feathers has been blotted from the lives of Canada's Indians. The big chief of yesterday who would summon a war council when dawn stood tip-toe on the horizon, is up at the same hour now, but he has been thoroughly modernized. He is cranking his car, preliminary to driv- ing the kiddies to school. When he returns to his farm house, he goes into the fields wearing regular store clothes instead of the belliger- ent paint of his ancestors, and sets to work with modern machinery. t "Canada has solved its Indian prob- lems," said William Graham, commis- sione'r of Indian affairs of western Canada. "Canada has civilized him." "The Canadian today is an educated farmer. He is a Christian and goes to church regularly every Sunday- often drives there with his fanily in his automobile. His children go t school. He is as good a farmer as his white neighbors-sometimes a bet- teir one. Government agricultural ex- perts visit him periodically, They teach him the latest scientific methods of cultivating land. Many Indians are agronomists in the highest cultural sense. The new generation is keen to learn and progress and become the equal to the white man in -every way." The commissioner said there was no foundation for the common belief that the Indians' were gradually dying out. "The Indian population of Canada has been increasing for the last ten years. Better living conditions, education, and medical attention are account- able for this. There are 100,000 In- dians in 'Canada. Indians in western Canada put under cultivation 100,000 acres of land this year. They pro- duced 400,000 bushels of wheat. All the Indian reserves are self-support- ing." Two thousand Indians enlisted in the Canadian army, went overseas and upheld their old war path traditions.

DH. C. G. BLISS WARNS A(1ATNST NE-NAVE OF FEEBLE IN1EDNESS "The feeble minded are one of the greatest menaces of the times," said Dr. C. G. Bliss, superintendent of the Institute for Feeble Minded Youths at Fort Wayne, Ind. Doctor Bliss was addressing the Social Workers' club of Detroit last Monday evening, lie says that there are 59,000 mental de- fectives in Indiana and about the same number in Michigan. "There must be radical changes in legislation governing this field and, " above all, an awakened public con- science. With these weapons we may hope to hold In check what otherwise would encroach upon the health and sanity of society," he concluded. LABOR BOARDS FIX ALL CONTROVERSIES Washington, D. C., Jan. 30.-In the annual report labor conditions on the railroads during 1918, W. J. McAdoo stresses the methods used in the fix- ing of wages, hours, and controversies between workmen and operators. Commissions and boards were the media by which agreements were se- cured. Strikes during the 12 months wereunknown, although the number of questions settled by the boards could easily have resulted in tie-ups had not this means of reaching an agreement been resorted to. The sections of the.report dealing with women labor show how the pro- blem of wages, night work, heavy duties, and unsatisfactory conditions were solved. Whenever possible night shifts were given to men and only the lighter tasks were open to wom- en, as soon as the supply 'of labor allowed it. A comprehensive survey in statistical form concluded the re- port, Junior prom at the University of Wisconsin has been prohibited by the dean of the literary college. The stu- dents had voted in favor of the prom.
