Forged Checks
Passed In City
Police Declare
According to the chief of police,
more bogus checks are being passed
at the present time than ever be-
fore. Daily forged checks are be-
ing passed qn both State street and
downtown .merchants.
From 50 to 60 checks are in the
hands of the chief, and in his opin-
ion some united action should be
taken upon the part of the mer-
chants. .,
"There is undoubtedly an organized
gang who are responsible for this
situation," said the chief. "I have two
qr three Inen under suspicion but it
is almost impossible to trace the guil-.
ty parties."

URGES STUDENTS TAKE
DI F UPMISONARY WORK
DR. J. T. STONE DELIVERS FIRST
OF SERIES OF RELIGIOUS .
LECTURES
In an earnest appeal to the stu-
dents to use their lives to the best
advantage Dr. John T. Stone last
night made the first of the series of
lectures conducted by the"Y" authori-
ties in the campaign for religios
awakening on the campus. The sub-
ject of Dr. Stone's address was "The
Investment of a Life" and he gave
many interesting examples of men of
his own personal acquaintance who
had made the important decision of
their life work and who becamie emi*.
nently successful though in most in-
stances forced to endure many priva
tions.
Dr. Stone spoke at length on the
wonderful fields for missionary work
at the present time and urged stu-
dents to think seriously of the 6ppor-
tunity to consecrate their lives to this
work and thereby make their lives
worth while in this world by sacri-
ficing personal whims to the good of
civilization and mankind.
His manner was pleasing and well

Details and clews are entirely lack-
ing, and as yet the motives f th4
person or p4rsojs committing the
misdemeanor has not been ascer-
tained.
Perhaps a collector of souvenirs
appropriated it for his collection, or
perhaps the material in the stolen
sign will be re-shaped as an instru-
ment to deal with the "military"
freshmen:
But the real facts are that the sign
is gone.

WILL HOLD 'SMOKER
LATER; MURPHY TO SPEAK
Not to be outdone by the Republi-
cans on the campus, a representative
group of Michigan students with de'm-
ocratic tendencies, yesterday took the
initial steps for the .organizaton of a
campus Democratic club.
Temporary officers forming an ex-
ecutive committee were selected from
the group at tIe meeting, to formulate
plans for the permanent organiza-
tion qf the club.
Elect Temporary Officers'
The committee of temporary offi-
cers is made up of the following: .L.
B. Doyle, '21L, chairman; L. S.
Daugherty, '22L, secretary; P. K.
Platts, '20; Bert McNeil, '22M; 0Jack
Dunn, '20; H. Fergus, '21E. and ,F.
McKowan, '21E. ,
Communication with the state Dem-
ocratic committee has been estab-
lished by the temporary organization
and actual campaigning on the cam-,
pus will be started so.
Plans are being laid for °a Demo-
cratic smoker to be held at the
Michigan Union some time in the
near future. Frank Murphy, '17L,

fidence that some sort of central gov-
ernment will ultimately prevail.
In the face of official messages to-
day it would appear that this belief is
based more on desire than on infor-
fation forwarded by British repre-
sentatives in Germany. These repre-
sentatives tell of the increasing num-
e ber of towns being taken' over by
e newly organized soviets.
Food is expected to be the decid-
o ing factor, and the Ebert govern-
ment has already requested the Al-
f lies to maintain the present system
o of supplying food stuffs, which have
1- become inadequate. With transpor-
n tation virtually suspended, many
- towns which heretofore have been
t better supplied than Berlin are be-
ginning to feel the pinch. ,
Combats Oontinue

Y BIG SUCCES.
That the price of hair-cuts will be
raised to 50 cents, and the price of
shaves to 25 cents, is the result of ac-
tion taken by the boss barbers of Ann
Arbor at a meeting held Friday even-
ing at the city Y. M. C. A. This in-
crease becomes effective Monday,
March 22.
According to Mr. John P. Troja-
nowski, proprietor of a barber shop at
717 North University avenue, the
journeyman barbers had presented a
petition to the boss barbers, asking
for a raise in the prices of haircuts
and shaves.
