manding the federal troops here, is-
sued the following statement: '
"This is t he most dangerous piece
of literature that has come to my at--
tention. Other Red pamphles have been
severe but the subject matter has
been usually general in direction. This
is a direct appeal to their followers
to overthrow the federal troops in
Gary.
Most Dangerous

we have had to deal with but it will
be dealt with accordingly."

"Investments" yesterday afternoon in
room C of th e Law/building.
These lectures are planned tegive
an idea as to how money should be
invested,' and to point out some of
the dangers encountered in doing so.
Mr. Boudeman will speak every'aft-
ernoon this week and next, Saturdays
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,-
.000,000 is lost because 'of the fail-
ure to use water power, and $65%,-

profligacy among working men as

hairmen of standing committees, the
executive council of the Union will be
called into session for its first meet-
ing not .later .than" the first week of
November order that an accu-
rate concep ion of what the students
'xpect of the Union may be obtained.
A three-fold purpose was consider-
ed when the-council was decided up-
on, namely: to consider the way to
help other campus activities; to dis-
cover ways and means. o handling
and developing its own activites, and
to consider any weaknesses in the
Union organization.
An advisory committee, composed
of such men as the president of the
Student council, the presidents of
classes, and the editors of publica-
tions will sit with the council in the
discussion. J
Meetings will be held at least once
every month, subject to the decision
of the Union president. The council
'will Abe an- official body, keeping in-
dividual minutes and books, and its
recommendations will be passed on to
the ,board of directors.

WARNING AT CROSSROADS
Mr. and Mrs. Bryant Knaggs of Yp-
silanti we're killed at 4:40 o'clock yes-
terday, afternoon when their automo-
.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.
