rector of public service, in charge of public works,
water department, matters of engineering, streets,
parks, public utilities, markets, etc.; of public wel-
fare, in charge of matters of health, recreation,
charities, etc.; of public business, who is city clerk;
and of law, who is city attorney. The directors of
these departments are appointed by and are ac-
countable to the council, in which responsibility is
centered.
The aim is to make the machinery simpler and to
substitute for the present government, which puts
the work of the city into the hands of five boards
not elected by, nor responsible to, the voters, a
governmefnt by one board, the council, elected by
and responsible to the people.
James Bryce has called attention to the simplic-
ity.and effectiveness of our national government, in
great contrast to the complexity and inefficiency of
our state and municipal governments. At Lansing
there is now a great move toward a simplification.
The same is true in New York. Illinois under
Governor Lowden has already reorganized with
such remarkable results as almost to make him the
Republican candidate for president at the last elec-
tion. The Ann Arbor election is being watched
with great interest.

BIG TEN BACKBITING
eitly our very good friend, "The Wake" of
icago Tribune, has taken to printing commu-
ns sent in by various irascible undergraduate
ors of our own University as well as'her sister
tions of Iowa and Illinois, and the tone of
-eprints is certainly anything but sportsman-
arently a Michigan man opened fire with an
d-for tirade against Illinois; persons signing
ives "Illini" have come back at the Michigan-
th desultory remarks . concerning charges
have long since been proved untrue and
we hoped had been forgotten for all time;
Dw "Hawkeye" has also entered the. wordy
ith furious insinuations against Illinois. The
>n the part of all concerned, be they Michi-
linois or Iowa backers, is surely unworthy of
calling himself a sportsman and claiming
e a constructive interest in collegiate ath-
course "The Wake", like every other such
, is necessarily open to communications and
be held responsible for the opinions ex-
I therein by contributors. But if those who
column to voice their ideas would put aside
erely irate and do some verifying before
ig into print, much of the present unjusti--
d unworthy spirit of backbiting which, sad
exists between various schools of the Big
'ould be snuffed out instead of fanned as at
FOR A WOMEN'S BUILDING
The proposed women's building - what it will
mean to students in the years to come, what the
idea of such a center for all women's activities
should mean to the students of today who will not
receive the material benefits of the plan - these
are the subjects to be stressed at the Women's An-
nual luncheon, to be given in Barbo-ur gymnasium
Saturday.
The Women's Alumnae council of the Alumni
association has sponsored the plan for a million
dollar campaign for funds for the construction of
the edifice. Students now in the University should
familiarize themselves as fully as possible with the
ideas and ideals connected with the proposed plan,
which will be definitely announced in June.
The luncheon on Saturday is intended to be an
enthusiastic rally for the proposition. Dean Henry
M. Bates, of the Law school, and Irving K. Pond,
architect of the Union, are to draw from their ex-
periences with the latter institution, points that the
women will find beneficial in their campaign. The
magnificent Union building is the culmination of
many years' work for the Union idea, and women
students and alumnae of today should be enthusias-
tic and well informed as regards their ideal, if they
wish to attain the same success.
The "feminine" members of the Hasty Pudding
club's annual play at Harvard were recently ar-
rested by the Cambridge police for being in a men's
dormitory and the show was held up until they
could be got out of jail. Let us hope that the
beauties of "Top o' th' Mornin'" will be allowed
to perform in peace by the Ann Arbor authorities.

I think this is a term used by the girls in referring
to-a male friend upon whom they have succeeded in

May bring May flowers but they also necessitate the proper clothes for
such weather. Most women hate the thought of rain coats, because for so
many years they have been clumsy, encumbering and ugly. But now they
have emerged from their crysalis and are as pretty and springlike as any
other coat.
Oiled silk raincoats are especially pleasing. They are so thin that they
arc easily worn over other coats, their colors are lovely and the general effect
is charming. We have these coats in either coat or cape style. The rubber-
ized silk raincoats, too, are beautiful. We have these in both plain colors and
checks and stripes. These coats are all well made, on generous.-lines and are
finished with pockets, belts and strapped wrists. Changeable silk effects are
charming in a rubberized silk that is very soft and becoming. A satin coat
with rubber lining is pretty enough for any occasion, while a gabardine is the
very personification of practicality combined with beauty. Capes, with or
without hoods are here as are coats with hats to match. Very reasonably
priced are these raincoats. $9.5o to $29.50.
The children haven't been forgotten in the matter of raincoats and sev-
eral models are here in both coats and cape effects, many with hoods. Rub-
berized cloth, gabardine and leather effects are the materials and the prices
range from $7.50 to $9.50.

New Handkerchief Linen 25c the Square
The craze for colored handkerchiefs is one that is evidently'here to stay
and realizing this fact we have just purchased a new supply of handkerchief
linen in the new shades. These handkerchiefs are so pretty with different
colored threads drawn through and, a bit of colored embroidery. And above
all are so easy to make, that practically every girl is making them. Today
arrived handkerchief linen in grey, peach, Nile green, pale blue, orchid, apri-
cot, orange and lemon. This linen sells for $2.25 a yard or 25c a square.
Doilies and Center Pieces
New filet centerpieces, 54 and 36 inches, have arrived and are very rea-
sonably priced. Bureau and buffet scarfs to match in z8, 12, 9 and 6 inches
are also here.

A BUSINESS CHARTER

He fails to acquire some real polish.
We thank you.
The other night when we were calling on our
girl, the old question of whether the girls around
this school are as bad as they're painted came up
for discussion. And our girl, who is still firmly
convinced that the only reason why some co-ed did-
n't beat Juliette Henkel out in the News' beauty
contest was because there must have been several
ex-State street fraternityt men on the committee, re-
marks:
"Jack, don't you know that some of the girls on
this campus are truly beautiful? Don't you really
believe that some of their faces just grow on you?"
"Well," we replied in our gentle modulated
tone, "I wouldn't go so far as to admit that, but I
will concedetthat their faces dont' grow on them."
Will all the girls who think this was a funny re-
ply kindly send us their names and telephone num-
bers?
