Property, valued at more than $150, has been stolen from various places in the Union during the past 10 days. The list of stolen goodp includes two suit cases, two overcoats, and two or three caps and hats. The thieves have become so bold that George Hurley, general secretary, had his cap taken from a chair in his. office, when he stepped out for a few mii-. utes, and one of the suit cases was stolen when the clerk's back was turned.

"MUNICIPAL BON IJ BEST INESTMENT" "Municipal I :xls" was te subect of Dallas Boudeman s lecture on in- vestments Tuesday afternoon. In dis- cussing the subject Mr. Boudeman stated that he thought that this type 'of bond was the best for investment purposes because it was safe, profit- able, and demanded practically no care. Cites State Issue To illustrate the way these bonds are handled, he cited the $50;000,0WQ highway bond issue in this state. The voters of the state voted in favor of this bond last spring. Recently $2,000,000 of the issue was put on the market and a Detroit bank bought $1,500,000 of it. The bank will sell these bonds at a slight increase to people who wish to buy them foi in- vestments. The state will also sell the remaining $500,000 of this block to the citizens in smaller amounts. "Know that Znunicipal bonds are authoized by the legislature," said Mr. Boudeman, in explaining the way °o tell whether a bond issue is good or not. "Then ascertain- whether the, issue was properly voted, that is whether the election was given the ,;roper amount of advertising.

Michigan's official cheer-leader, who will be picked at the Student council meeting Wednesday night, a live lot of speakers and the Varsity band will combine in making Friday night's pep meeting in Hill auditorium, in favor of which the Wednesday afternoon open-air mass meeting was cancelled, a success. Speaking of the meeting, Carl E. Johnson, '20, president of the Student council, said, "This meeting, coming just before the O. S. U. game as it does, is of the utmost importance and with this fact in view a short but snappy program is being arranged which should send the student body to the game keyed to the top-notch with spirit." While David D. Nash, '20, chairman. of the committee on arrangements has not definitely picked the speakers for OFFICIAL CHE-EAELIVE SPEAKERS, AND VARISITY BAND ASSURE PEP- MEETING SUCCESS the evening, his ten' ative list includes men who have in the past proved suc- cessful in instilling lfe into mass meetings. The first official appea:'ance of Mich- igan's yell-master with his staff of as- sistants will be one of the features'of the evening. With this added incentive it is expected thAt spirit both at the meeting and at the game will reach a' point higher than it has been able to during the time that the student body has een without an officially recog- nized. cheer-leader., The full significance of the import- ance of this neeting can be gained through realizing what this game means to Ohio State, whey' the campus has beer completely postered with signs reading, "Beat Michigan." It is expected that Ohio will bring a full band and some 2,000,students to Ann Arbor for the game.

MUST VOTE AGAINST TREATY TO KILL PROPUSALS, DECLARED (By Assocaited Press) Washington, Oct. 21.-The question of accepting peace treaty reservations was earnestly considered by Demo- cratic senate leaders under the press- ure of developments pointing to an early show down and a ratification fight. The treaty prpvision forces opposi- tion announcing at last an agreement on a reservation program by the sen- ate majority brought the situation to an unexpected issue, serving notice that their proposal would go before the foreign relations co inittee to-- morrow when the administration would be asked to go on record as accepting or rejecting it. Program Pcsented The reservation program as it is to be presented was not made public but. it was understood to embrace nine res- ervations evolved from suggestions gathered from many sources. The ufb- jects .are said to have covered the fol- lowing: The right of this cauntry to judge whether its obligations had been fulfilled in case of withdrawal from the league; unimpared power of con- gress to decide questions of peace or war under article 10; domestic decis- ion of all domestic questions; Mogroe doctrihe; refusal to be a party to the Shantung settlemgnt; setting equal voting power ip league; congresional selection of American representatives at league; limitiation of powers of such representatives to international commission and right of international labor conferences to challenge the elgibility of American representatives on international commissions. Only One Chance of Defeat Behind the proposal, it is declared by their sponsors, will stand all of' the 49 Republicans and at least six Democrats leaving as a -maximum 41 Democrats opposing them.

Letters Sent Each Member, "At first it was intended to solicit the opinion of the club by circular postal cards, but too many different memorials were mentioned by the members. Letters have now been sent out to every member of the club, ask- ing him to be present at the re- union to be held Nov. 22. As more than 100 men are expect- ed to 'attend the luncheon, which is an instituted custom at the big game of tdie year, it isthought that a. repre- sentative memorial can' be chosen then. Originally it was the idea to dedicate the memorial at the Minne- sota game, but it will now have to be postponed until a later date. Bronze Tablet Favored The greatest number of men favored a bronze tablet, to be placed in the Ferry field club house. Such things as an arch. entrance or an athletic scholarship fund were also suggest- ed. More than 400 men belong to the "M", club, membership in which is limited to those who have won a letter in athletics. Blarbers _To Start.
