excepted, at 4 o'clock in room C of
the Law building. The subject for
.today will be "The Kind of Invest-
ments to Make."
* "We think we are big as a na-
tion," declared Mr. Boudeman, "and we
-are in some ways, but we are at the
bottom of the lit when it comes to
thrift and econom'y. Another evil we
must stop is waste. Reports show that
$500,000,000 is . lost annually in soil
erosion, $238,000,000 in floods, $6.,000,-

.bile was struck by a D.VU. R. inter-
urban car at Lay's crossing, two;
miles east of Ypsilanti.f
According to witnesses, the car did
not signal as it approached the cross-
ing. Mr. Knaggs was returning *om
a trip to his farm near Ypsilanti and
was turning west from the Ridge road
when the afternoon sun blinded him,
causing him to drive his machine
squarely into the speeding interur-
ban. -
Mr. Knaggs was instantly killed,
his wife living but a few minutes
after. Both were dead before mdi-
Gal aid reached them. Though the
automobile was completely wrecked,
the interurban received only a d'am-
aged fender. Passengers in the car
were considerably shaken up by the
'shock of the impact.
Mrs. Knaggs, who lived at 109 Buf-
falo street, Ypsilanti -was very well
known in that town, having taugit
school in the Adams street building
for many years. She was form-erly
Miss Anna Chlmers, daughter of Gil-
christ Chalmers, who owns a large
stock farm near Ypsilanti. She had
acted as correspondent for Detroit
newspapers from time to time. ,-
The bodies were takem to Moore's
undertaking parlors in Ypsilanti. The
date of the funeral has not been
fixed.
