The woman with the carmined lips gazing at cheap jewelry in a window. The sour, wind lipping at the torn awning of the fish market. The man with the violin case fum- bling with the geranium in his coat. The beetlebacked cabsrthat shuttle across the distant corner. The stars like dog tooth violets through the pall of factory smoke. The girl with the red shawl carrying a cabbage wrapped in newspaper., The drone of sewing machines trick-' ling down the musty stairway. The rumble of the truck sucking in the curb chatter likel an octopus. The gas light whimpering over the entrance to the cheap dance hall. The crowd of half wild children pok- ing sticks at a dead sewer rat. The fog fingers groping slowly down- ward to choke the city silent. Night. Today the Senior Engineer asked if Moe's barber shop was the Land of the Golden Fleece.

They apply for positions when positions are plentiful, and when they have accumulated a little money they leave. They idle their time away until their money is gone, and then they go once more looking for work. They drift from city to city, aimlessly wandering, and do not stay six months in, the same place. Every city knows the type. The trouble is that they have no de- finite purpose in life. They do not know what they want, they do not plan out their future, and before they realize it the future has arrived and they are broken men, whose lives have been useless and wasted. It is never too early to make plans for the future. The man who succeeds is the one who always has his eyes on the distant goal. How many of us can say this of ourselves? Many regard their college life as merely a continuation of their school days. They intend to take life serious- ly when they get out into the world. They do not realize that their univer- sity training may play a large part in their lives, and that this training will be all the more valuable if they have some definite goal in mind at all times. A university does not give a man a-n education. It gives him the oppor- tunity to learn, and a student who is not seeking an education will never find it. The floater in college is not seeking education. "Getting through" is his main interest. But the man with a purpose in life, the man who really wants to make something of himself, will get out of college unlim- ited benefits, not only from his books, but from the friends he makes, from the part he plays in university life. -The campus is full of floaters. Are you one of them? The superintendent of Michigan sdhools says that every graduate of the eighth grade in the state will have to be able to sing the national airs be- fore he will be' given a diploma. In other words, a diploma may now be had for a song. The Germans will not be able to manufacture gas any more. This should have been thought of four years ago, before the kaiser began telling the Germans they could lick 'the world.

Flickerings of Rural Life (From the Columbia City, Ind., Daily Snooze) While dusting off the chandelier in the kitchen yesterday afternoon Con- stable Hiram Johnson slipped on a curry comb which was laying on the step ladder and fell upon several loaves of his wife's freshly baked bread, breaking his hip. The bread was damaged a little. Our Daily Novelette In the Busy Bee-"Waiter," he call- ed, sniffing the air suspiciously, "nev- er mind those waffles now, I can never eat them w henthere's a smell of fresh paint around." "If you'll just wait a few moments, sir," replied the waiter lisping over a chocolate drop, "them two young .adies will be going." A dark night, figures crossing the diagonal in front of the library, Ann Arbor's proverbially bad sidewalks, pools of water, an extra loud splash, a muttered imprecation - and again we realize that the flag pole is down, and illumination in the middle of the campus is consequently nil. n, .How long will it last? When shall the flag fly again, and when will we be guided across the campus by the friendly "moons?" Edward C. Par- don of the buildings and grounds de- partment, says that there is no way> of answering the question. The top section of the pole which must be re- placed is 35 feet long, with a base diameter of seven and three-quarters inches and a top diameter of four and one-half inches. This shaft should be made of white pine and while the University has been able formerly to obtain one from the Toledo Shipbuild- ing Yards it was found impossible to do so this time. An order has gone through the pur- chasing department, however, and it is hoped that soon one will be found somewhere. The flag pole is 150 feet high, and the gilt ball atop it is 18 inches in di- ameter. This is the fourth time in eight years that the pole has been down for repairs. CANADIAN CLUB WILL HOLD SMOKER FOR RETURNED HEN The Canadian club will hold its first smoker of the year at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday night, March 18, in the new Union building. Since the be- ginning of the new semester several members of this club have returned to the University after active service in both the American army and in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, which will give all members an opportunity to revive old time acquaintances. d MADE AND SOLD AT THE SUGAR BOWL Phone 967 109 S.
