LASS Students can materially aid in en-t forcing the resolutions' adpoted by Ann Arbor business men for the ec- onomizing of fuel and power, during1 the present crisis, by refusing to pat- ronize merchants who fail to live up to the agreement in regard to shorten-i ing the business hours, according to W. W. Douglass, district fuel direct- or. Is a Sacrifice "It is quite a sacrifice for the bus-I iness men to close their stores early," said Mr. Douglass, "just before the holiday season, but the majority of them have agreed to do it in order to .meet the present fuel shortage. Therer are some, however, who have ignored this agreement and are keeping open after 5 o'clock. This is not fair to the men who are doing all within theirI power to economize. "Under the Garfield order, drugj stores are allowed to keep open until7 8 o'clock, but there is no reason for some of our druggists remaining open after 5 o'clock, as the majority of their business after this time is'soda foun- tain trade." Expect Greater Power Speaking of the expected govern-j ment order giving the power to en- force closing hours, Mr. Douglass said, "We have not the power to enforce the hours 'agreed".upn at the busness men's meeting last Monday but I am 'expecting the necessary authority at{ any time and as soon as it comes the restrictions will be enforced to the ,letter. "At the present the time set for closing" is merely a voluntary, hough necessary action on the part of the business men of the city." The Screen THE MAJESTIC Featured with Enid Bennett in "The Virtuous Vamp," which will be repeat- ed again tpday at the Majestic, is Lar- ry Semon in "Dew Drop Inn," a spec- ial Vitagraph comedy. Playing the role of a Tennessee revenue officer, he performs unusual acrobatics as well as .causing laughs by his humorous antics. One of his best bits of entertainment is his gain- ing access to the moonshiners' lair by resorting to a unique form of cam- ouflage. Besides Semon's own com- edy arenumerous other amusing fea- tures including a bevy of pretty girls and an Egyptian dance. THE ARCADE Four different sets of characters are followed in "The Hushed Hour," fea- turing Blanche Sweet, to be shown today at the Arcade. The story opens with a scene in the home ofJudge Ap- pleton shortly after his death. His four children Virginia Appleton Blod- gett, played by Miss Sweet, and Rob- ert, Luke and Daisy are discussing their father's last request, that each should spend an hour in meditation, over their past lives and try to be as upright, charitable, and forgiving as he.was, during the rest of their lives. The past lives of the four children are- then portrayed. ALPHA NU WILL DEBATE QUESTION OF OPEN SHOP Application of the open shop prin- ciple to American industry for the best interests'of the American people, will form the topic of discussion at the regular meeting of the Alpha Nu debating society to be held at 7:30 o'clocl Friday evening on the fourth floor of University hall.

Experiencing Coal Shortage Beginning on December 7 the with offenders against the lighting students at the University of Illinois started to leave the university in con- tingents of 1,000 per day. It is im- possible for the university to'get more coal. The students are being desig- nated alphabetically as to which ones are to go on certain days. It is ex- pected that the university will be able to reopen on Jan. 5, 1920., ..&A1N UMIL Y THE WHITNEY Varied forms of dramatic enter- tainment are presented in "Red Feather" which will make its '.nitial appearance,hunder the auspices of the University Dramatic society, to- night at the Whitney. Dancing, sing- ing, and comedy have been incorpor- ated in this well-balanced opera by its authors, Reginald De Koven and Charles Klein. Three spies, Colonel McPatrick, played by H. D. Stubbs, '22, Baron Blunderstorms, presented by Milton 'ehling,'20,and Benjamin Bowler, play- ed by John F. Walker, furnish a good share of the comedy. They change their disguises frequently, as all good detectives should, and their make-ups' are one of the important comical ef- Jects of the play. Their witty and drole dialogue is; another big source of amusement. Special scenery, painited by Carl Brummelwho furnishes the scenery for ."The Follies," serves as a back ground; for the development of the story. { Scenic effects include the background.; for the first act, a reproduction of the public square in Romancia, showing a part of the exterior of the royal cafe, at the right and Madamoselle Fifne's ;millinery store on the left, while the scene of the second act is the interior of the Countess Draga's castle.
