Hause Baad Lambert Hirsheimer Frank N. Gaethke ESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1917 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 at least one letter which usually comes about the first of the month. Our contemporaries, the newspa- papers, seem to have missed a good chance for wit in a Boston story.' Headlines might easily have read "Muck rakes the Star Spangled Ban- ner," or words to that effect. The "Y" is undertaking as noble 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. JUSTICE. MANY WOMEN STENOGRAPHERS NEEDED TO SERVE UNCLE SAN "HELP FOOD WIN THE I STUDENTS SHOULD SUBSTITUTE FORf SCARCE CO MODITIES AND WASTE NOTHING Editor, The Michigan Daily: During the past week there has been conducted a nation-wide can- vass of housewives for the saving of food staples. In many counties, of which our own is one, this canvass has been carried on through the schools and in such the time limit has been extended another week. This has been found necessary be- cause of vacations in many rural schools to allow children's help in the belated harvesting of crops.

Osius, Jr. 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. 'me. Michigan men are making an nviable record for "themselves 'in_ amps and at the front.

The following new members were initiated: Katherine Harring- ton, of Battle Creek; Ruth MacLaugh- lin, of Detroit; Nona Myers, of Vulcan; Louise Williamson, of Duluth, Minn.; and Constance Winchell, of Ann Arbor: Civil service examinations for sten- ographers and typewriters afford an unusual opening for young women throughout the country. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of the wom- an's committee, council of national defense, dirges that they enter this field of enterprise with as much ser- iousness and enthusiasm as they would undertake home nursing, first aid work, or any form of service. "Young women expecting to go to Washington way be sure of good hous-. ing facilities by communicating with the Washington division of the Wom- an's committee, through whose efforts many. girls have secured board and lodging in satisfactory homes."

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.

The Literary Critic Says 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.
