Fullerton THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1917 THE GAME WITH NORTHWESTERN Michigan will make her official re- turn debut into the Western Confer- eOnce November 24, when the Wolver- ine gridiron men will meet Northwest- ern University in Chicago. Thus the "Big Nine" will become the "Big Ten" and Michigan will again have her op- portunity to prove herself "champion of the west." Incidentally this game with Northwestern will materially help to improve what. now seems to be a rather unsteady schedule for next fall, as at the present moment it can- not be definitely determined whether the schedule as arranged by the ath- letic authorities can be played in full because of the suspension of athletics by many schools. In returning to the Conference Michigan took a step determined upon only after long agitation and discus- sion. The game with Northwestern will officially renew long-severed ath- letic relations. In returning to the western fold Michigan should enter with the brotherly spirit in which she has been received, and our teams fight- ing in the west should help to strengthen the standing of western athletics. The game with Northwest- ern will be the first indication of the more compact western spirit which Michigan will foster in "Big Ten" ath- letics, and should be watched with in- terest for this reason. A WORD OF APPRECIATION Now that the last complimentary concert for summer school students and townspeople has been given by the School of Music faculty, it is no more tgan right that a word of thanks be uttered. In giving wilfully of their time and talent, the members of the music faculty have offered us ap. ex- ceptional opportunity to derive cul- tural benefit and gain a species of re- laxation not ordinarily open to most of us. Undoubtedly the person who missed the concerts has lost something from his summer course that he would have gained had he attended the recitals. At least none of those who attended the entertainments have left with re- gret. It is safe to assert that the cam- pus appreciates the efforts of the ar- tists who so willingly entertained and at the same time instructed us.

Dorie Lectures on In. creasing Cost in Living Expenses "Prices have been tending upwards for the last 400 years or more," said Prof. G. W. Dowrie of the Department of Political Economy, in a lecture 0n the "High Cost of Living" which he de- livered to a large audience in the Na- tural Science building auditorium yes- terday afternoon. "When prices rise," he added, "there is always difficulty in retaining the customary standards of living The incomes of a large portion of the pop- ulation fails to rise in proportion to their living expenses if they rise at all. Wages and salaries fail to keep pace, and all creditors and people de- riving their incomes from fixed invest- ments suffer most. Some few derive benefit but the majority suffer. Was has at least ironed out a good many of our wastes and extravanganees and driven us to geater efficiency. Three Causes for Increase "There are three causes of the grad- ual increases in living expenses; the reversion of private income to the state, the lowering of the value of money ,and the fact that the supply has not kept pace with the demand. "Three-fourths of the national in- come is spent on war, past, present and future. This was true even be- fore the present war. This is one reason why the government must take so large a share of the individual's dollar. Another reason is the patern- alistic attitude which it has adopted toward its people. This requires much outlay now but later it will give good results and even returns in dol- lars and cents. "The dollar is our measuring stick of value. If you shorten a yard stick a given piece of material will have more yards in it. When a dollar de- preciates a like condition results. Much gold has been found recently which also helps to reduce the value of money as do also the modern bank- ing methods, conserving by depositing and checking accounts. Living Above Our Means "Our changes in tastes and desire for a higher standard of living than our income warrants is the third reason for the increase in expenses. Someone has named it the problem of the cost of high living rather than the high cost of living. High priced labor sav- ing appliances which many house- wifes feel that they cannot now do without, the expensive methodsyo1 marketing which we employ, buying but a little at a time and ordering that by telephone, all contribute to the general expense. Our pure food laws prove our desire to have all things clean and sanitary but here again the consumer is adopting the more expensive article as he receives shorter weight and has to pay for the wrapping, inspecting and advertis- ing, If we even saved the bread which we now throw out we could spare over 100,000,000 bushels of wheat to the allies. "The remedies which are suggested are first, the better management of public affairs, putting business men in charge instead of politicians and, sec- ond, the education of the public in the lines of proper marketing, prepar- ation and conservation of food. Much can he done through the agency of the public school." LIBRARY PLANS TO' SEND BIG NUITBER OF BOOKS TO SOLDIERS The University Library hopes to be able to send between 2,000 and 3,000 books to the soldiers scattered in the different cantonments of the country. Up to date about 800 books have been received and almost all of them have been suitable for the purpose and in excellent condition. It is hoped that he students will not forget this cause when packing their books preparatory to their return to their homes, since many of them will be of value to the soldiers.

RECRUITING OFFICIAL GIVES HISTORY OF NATIONAL ANTHEM Washington, August 15.-Does any- one know who composed the music of "The Star Spangled Banner?" The hymn, "Anacreon in Heaven," com- posed by John Smith, an Englishman, about 1770, is the original music of our national anthem, according to a recruiting official of the United States marine corps. Anacreon was an ancient Greek poet. The young Maryland lawyer, Francis Scott Key, set the words of his masterpiece to the tune of Smith's hymnal inspiration.
