Tf, as boarding house managers admit, food can be served at lower rates at a profit because of the thirty-three and a third per cent decline which See- retary Meredith declares has taken place in the price paid the farmer for his products, the conclusion is unavoidable-that to charge last summer's board tar- iffs now is exhorbitant. In view of this the only fair policy of the board- ing. house operators who have taken no steps to re- vise their rates is to fall- in line behind the managers who manage to keep one eye on the interests of their patrons even while focusing the other on profits. We await that drop after vacation. THE COMMERCE CLUB PROGRAM When graduation time rolls around, and the stu- dent, armed with his sheepskin and a well-meaning degree, determinedly launches forth on his cam- paign to conquer the world of business, he is brought to a sudden halt by practical, every-day problems which his college training has not wholly prepared him for, This is especially true of gradu- ates of the literary college, where theory plays a part of parallel importance with practical applica- tion, and book study takes the place of actual ex- perience, The fact remains, therefore, that students in at- tendance at universities would greatly benefit by hearing from those who have made their marks in the world, and whb have been confronted with the same problems which the average college graduate must face. To this end, a new Commerce club is being organized, whose main purpose is to bring to Ann .Arbor men of natiotial repute in commercial life, and whose advice backed up by experience Would be of material aid to all college students con- templating business careers. The club is now in process of formation, and is aiming to enrollas members all students pursuing courses in economics, political science and sociol- ogy, upon whose aid and co-operation its success in securing these speakers' depends. Surely an organ- ization with such a commendable purpose is worthy of the whole-hearted support of all who seek more than book-learning The minstrel show this year missed about a dozen good jokes bearing the title "Professor," not to speak of a good many others carrying the name "B. M. O. C." and a whole line of excellent quips on campus foibles. Humor is one of the world's most puissant powers; let's use it next year, well daubed with local color.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920. Night Editor-B. P. CAMPBELL KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY One of the first chemistry courses in any Ameri- can university was established, and the first build- ing ever dedicated exclusively as a Chemical Lab- oratory was constructed by the University of Michi- gan during the early part of President Tappan's administration. THE ALL-AMERICAN .When a man tries out for a football team, he determines at first to win a place on the Varsity. Hie makes that the sky limit of his ambition, bends all efforts to it until, by dint of hard, consistent work,. he succeeds in winning his letter. But his ambition cannot cease here. He finds that the men about him are not resting back on their laurels. Each is fighting to keep the admiration of his fel- lows on the team and in the stands; fighting to win the approval of the critics who understand skill and determination ; fighting with a hope that some day he may win the honor of a place on the All-Con- ftrece, All-Western, and - final goal of all ath- letes - the All-American. Even if he is not accorded this recognition of a place.on the famous mythical eleven, the man mho has refused to admit defeat, fought steadily until the last whistle of his final season, has gained a self-confidence that cannot but be one of his greatest possessions. It is that way with life. The day-dreamer is the man, who can see only the distant goal, and has riither the foresight to plot out, nor the will to carry through, the steps that intervene. It is the plugger who, keeping .his ideal in mind, sets his immediate aim and reaches it, and then sees the next step and sets out with might and main to achieve that, who is the most likely All-American prospect in the game of life. FALL IN LINE The fact that some boarding house and restau- rant proprietors frankly admit they can make a fair pr-ofit after materially reducing board tariffs shows conelusively that after all camouflage is cleared away from the food problem, those eating-house men who have promised no cuts in rates have no legitimate excuse for maintaining their prices at ar- tificial levels. The statements which indicate that at least some of those in the business of preparing food intend to let justice prevail over geed, are of especial sig- nificance as in more than one case the managers who are taking a fair view of the matter have on hand large stocks of canned goods purchased i the summer. In spite of this carry-over from the period before declines were registered, these managers have conceded that they will make money t re- duced prices. Of course, as a matter of fact, the perishable food that is bought at daily quotations is far more important in determining the cost of a meal than are the canned products stored away during the summer, but testimony that a fair profit can be made at lower rates punctures once for all the 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Men: Last season's hats turn- ed inside out, refinished and re- blocked with all new trimmings look just like new, wear just as long and saves you five to ten dollars.

I could not help but pity her- "I am a dunce, what can I do ? I've heard of a man Whittier !" What, we again rise to inquire, has become of the old fashioned humorist who;used to limp onto the stage looking like the Wreck of the Hesperus and then have his partner ask him; "Have an accident?" After which amid tumultous applause, he used to answer back: "No, thanks! I've just had one." Dear Noah: What can I take-to cure my kleptomania? Anxious Despairer.
