WHERE ARE THEY?
Where are the Michigan Union but-
tons this year?
One sees far less buttons now that
last year. And yet the Union regist-
er shows that the 1917-18 membership
is almost as large as that of the past
year. The difference in the number
being worn does not tally with the dif-
ference in the membership roll.
The Michigan Union insignia is na-
tionally recognized. It is the connec
tion between Michigan and the outer
world. If you are proud of your con-
nection with Michigan, show your col-
ors and don your Union button.
Have you women ever tried high
French heels on the boulevard?
Every single one of us hopes that
the three-cent postage law won't stop

comes about the first of the month.

papers, seem to have missed a good

TAXI RASE UNWARRANTEDi
CITY COUNCIL SHOULD SERIOUS-
LY CONSIDER MATTER TO PRE-
VENT DRASTIC ACTION.
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
If the students and faculty of the
University do not protest the ordin-'
ance which is being considered to
raise the rates of taxicab companies
in Ann Arbor, the University body,
which contributes largely to the city's
posperity, will be submitted to charg-
es for passenger and trunk service
which are unwarranted.
The Michigan Daily has called the
attention of the student body to the
sections relating to party and theater
rates.
As to these rates, the taxi companies
propose to charge $2 per couple for
the trip to and from and for the trip
one way, per couple, $1. The proposed
schedule for evening performances and
concerts for the trip to and from is
$2 and for the trip one way $1 per
couple.
As to the above proposals the ques-
tion is not a matter of whether the
taxi companies can afford to carry
passengers on special occasions. One
does not wish to think it true, but that
the rates suggested for parties, thea-
ters and concerts will discriminate
against faculty and student body is
obvious, to say the least.
That a new ordinance is needed to
control the taxi companies on one
hand and to insure them legitimate
profit on the other, probably is true,
and that the citizens of Ann Arbor
wish to deal fairly with University
residents,.is believed by all. The cam-
pus, therefore, is looking to the mem-
bers of the city council, fair minded
men we believe, to prevent hasty leg-
islation which might result in drastic
action by the student body.

THE "RAILROAD" FAILS
The city council Monday night re-
used to allow the proposed increase
a taxicab rates to be "railroaded"
hrough its body. Such an action is
vorthy of the mettle of which the
ouncil is made.
The fact that the move was tried
y the taxicab companies only goes to
how to what practices at least some
f them wish to resort in order to
ave their scheme made into an ordin-
nce. The method in which the plan
ras handled in the endeavor to have it
assed specially at the 'irst reading is
ot worthy of commendation, but rath-
r of the "steam roller" type of
olitician. Telling more than one
ember of the council that his political
areer would be terminated if the pro-
osition failed is a poor way to try to
ass a measure before an intelligent
umber of men. This has been resort-
d to in the present case.'
Possibly the attempt at the "rail-
oad" was the trump card of the lead-
rs. If such is the case, their main
love has already been checked. A
air discussion of the increase on its
terits is now inevitable, and we be-
eve that when the matter comes up
or its final consideration, the "rail-
>ad" will not be an aid to the insti-
ators.
WHY NOT EMULATE PENN?
Presidents of all senior classes at
ennsylvania decided yesterday that
very former student of that univer-
ty in the service is to have a Christ-
as gift from his fellow students.
A campaign has been opened to raise
3,500 to purchase the, boxes, each of
hich will contain' a pipe, pound of
bacco, tobacco pouch, box of candy,
nd a subscription to "Old Penn," the
aiversity weekly.
Though not new, the idea is an ex-
ellent one, and should be caught up
once, as there is none too much.

nviable record for "themselves 'in_

unusual opening for young women

Howard Shaw, chairman of the wom-

iousness and enthusiasm as they would
undertake home nursing, first aid
work, or any form of service.
"Young women expecting to go to

many. girls have secured board and

BOTANY INSTRUCTORS NOT
TO RETURN TO UNIVERSITY
Three of last year's botany instruc-
tors are not in the University this,
year.
Prof. C. H. Kaufman is at Washing-
ton on a leave of absence to help the
Horticulture survey. His place is be-
ing filled by Dr. M. W. Gardner. Dr.
R. M. Holman and Dr. A. H. Povah
have resigned from the faculty. The
former is now a professor of botany{
at Wabash college and the latter is
lecture on forest mycology at Syra-
cuse university. Mr. W. W. Tupper
has returned to resume his position
as instructor of botany after a year's+
leave of absence at Harvard.

conservation of food which Herbert
Hoover, our national food adminis-
trator, says is absolutely necessary?
This is , an especially pertinent
query here in Ann Arbor. Possibly
a canvass of such persons will be
conducted by the government a little
later; but at present appeal can on-
ly be made to this class to volun-
tarily substitute other cereals for.
wheat; to substitute other protein
foods for meat; to use less sugar;
and to use less animal fats.
Food conservation by no means
necessitates' starving. "Eat plenty,
-but'wisely, and waste nothing,". is
the government's injunction. While
our soldiers at Camp Custer go
without butter, cream, and sugarr al-
together, surely we can eat less of
these foods and substitute corn, rye,
and oatmeal for fine wheat flour. We
can eat one-half as much meat and
twice as many vegetables on the
score of our patriotism. Who is not
willing to do this in order to help feed
soldiers and starving women and
children?
As a demonstration of our sincer-.
ity in this direction, it is proposed
that this week-end see "emergency"
or "war breads" served in all frater-
nities, sororities, boarding houses,
and homes. We shall have a host of
guests in our midst; how better can
we show the sincerity of our loyalty
and spread the gospel of food con-
servation? '
Stewards, boarding house, keep-
ers and housewives must have the
voluntary support of those who eat
at their tables in order to make a
succtss of this movement.. Will not
each of your readers be one of those
who will "help food win the war".
by his own attitude toward the gov-
ernment's proposed food plans?.
v "America's way" in food conser-
vation is by self-control, not by'com-
pulsion, on the level, not from above
by police enforcement, and democrat-r
ic rather than autocratic. This is
the biggest single piece of war-time
work yet inaugurated, for - it aims to+
enlist every man, woman and child
in the nation at every meal time.

FUNDAMENTALS OF NAVAL SER-
VICE, by Commander Yates Stirling,
U. S. N., and
FUNDAMENTALS OF MILITARY
SERVICE, by Capt. L. C. Andrews,
U. S. Cavalry. J..-B. Lippincott Co.,
Philadelphia.
We who find that our duty in the
world crisis lies at home are eagerly
reaching tor every means of coming
more closely into touch with the
working of the forces of our nation.
The J. B. Lippincott company has re-
cently published two books which the
stay-at-homes as well as the prospec-
tive soldier will find elucidating in re-
gard to the hundreds of questions:
which come to us all at this time
when 'our attention is focussed on the
movements of our fighting forces.
In "Fundamentals of Naval Service,"
by Commander Yates Stirling, U. S.
N., and "Fundamentals of Military Ser
vice," by Capt. Lincoln C. Andrews,
U. S. cavalry, are presented outlines
of our naval and military policies,
traditions, and general plans of the
organizations. In speaking of the
pride which our navy takes in its
traditions, Commander Stirling says,
"Germany has many noble traditions
of the war valor of her sons on land,
but at the outbreak of the present war
the kaiser's navy could boast of
naught save a marvellpus efficiency
during the years of peace. The Ger-
man navy, in spite of its great size
and formidableness, has yet to de-
velop character, to create traditions,
to put into the mighty fleet a soul."
Besides the fundamental informa-
tion there are chapters dealing with
topics of especial, interest, such a's the
naval aeroplane, the fleet in battle on
the high seas, and a chapter on the
coast artillery, contributed by Capt.
C. A. Kilbourne, coast artillery corps,
U. S. army.
Being, as they are, highly recom-
mended by the army and navy where
they are in constant use, these two
Looks will be a valuable help to every-
one interested in knowing how the
wheels of the service grind.
