AN
OVERCOAT
means nothing more to you than a garment you put on to keep
you warm--
don't waste time at our store.
We haven't any such "animal."
But if the word "overcoat" brings to your mind a picture of
a trim, smart, easy-fitting, comfortable outer garment that a
gentleman wears when he leaves his home-

CUSTER MEN PRACTICE
ART OF "DIGGING IN"
PLAN TO CONSTRUCT DUPICATES
OF TRENCHES ON WESTERN
FRONTS
Battle Creek, Nov. 7.-Trench dig-
ging and a general moving day, capped
by a regimental review,dmade yester-
day one of the busiest days the boys
at Camp Custer have experienced.
Donning overalls yesterday morn-
ing, hundreds of soldiers marched out
to the fields to construct duplications
of the network of dugouts and barriers
that are being used on the western
front. An elaborate system, capable
of housing an entire battalion, has
been planned and will be dug and fit-
ted out by the soldiers.
A general moving day also featured
the program and now all units are
stationed in their permanent homes.
The camp is becoming more and more
systematized every day and things are
now working smoothly.
Prof. A. G. Canfield visited the camp
and conferred with the officers con-
cerning the instruction of French in
the army. Thirty classes have already
been established and plans are being
made to obtain more instructors. A
$500 set of French educational records
for phonographs will be placed in
each Y. M. C. A. hut. These ar pres-
ents from the State teachers' associa-
tion which met at Grand Rapids last
week.
Almost $3,000,000 of insurance will
be taken out by members of the 85th
division before the books of the divis-
ion insurance officer close. All com-
manding officers are insurance agents
working without commission and most
of the men have signed up for the $10,-
000 policy.
Spicy ws N From
Other Universities
A long, cold winter is prophesied
by Prof. H. R. Hill of the University
of Iowa. The appearance of the gos-
hawk and pigeon hawk so early in the
season is the basis of his prophesy.
Prof. Hill explains that the gos-
hawk is a bird of the extreme north-
ern regions and its migration is gov-
erned by the food supply there. Its
appearance in this part of the coun-
try seems to indicate a cold winter of
long duration.
Nebraska will give the University
of Syracuse football team $5,000 for
each of the three games to be played
there. The contract that has been
signed gives the Nebraskans the
privilege of extending this arrange-
ment to apply for games in 1920 and
1921.
Delegates from 19 universities will
meet at the University of Iowa on
Nov. 8, 9 and 10 to represent their
schools at the Conference of the As-
sociation of American universities.
The modern trend toward vocational
education, in its effect upon profes-
sional and non-professional studies of
the university, will be the theme of
a paper to be read by Prof. Dewey of
Columbia university.
The University of Michigan will be
represented by President Harry B.
Hutchins, Dean A. H. Lloyd, and
Dean H. M. Bates.
The first interfraternity dance at
Brown university will be strictly in-
formal. The price of admission has
been set at $1.00.

UNIVERSITY ORGANIZES
SCHOOL DEBATING LEGUE
FIFTY HIGH SCHOOLS ENROLL IN
NEW PROJECT OF ORATORY
DEPARTMENT
Through the cooperation of the or-
atory department, the library: ex-
tension service, and the extension di-
vision of the University, Michigan is
prepared to render a new type of ser-
vice to the schools of the state,
through the medium of the high school
debating league.
Following theapproval of the Board
of Regents, Mr. Ray K. Immel, of the
oratory faculty, entered upon the work
of organizing Michigan interscholas-
tic debating and up to date have en-
rolled over 50 high schools. A consti-
tution has been drawn up and accept-
ed by the league members, and the
state has been divided into four dis-
tricts with their respective managers
under direction of Mr. Immel, who is
the state director.
In general, the manner of conduct-
ing the work of the league will be
as follows: The schools willbe or-
ganized in each district by the re-
spective managers. All schools of the
league will debate upon the same
question. A series of elimination con-
tests will be conducted, and the win-
ner of the two northern districts will
debate the winner of the two southern
districts at Ann Arbor and debate for
the state championship. The time for
Ann Arbor debate will be during the
interscholastic field meet here. All
expenses' will be paid by the Univer-
sity out of the League entrance fees
of $2 per school. A trophy will be
awarded to the *winner.
The question for this year's debate
is, "Resolved, That the federal govern-
ment should own and operate all in-
terstate railroads, constitutionality
waived." Briefs and data relating to
this question may be obtained free of
charge through the department of li-
brary extension service of the Univer-
sity library.
The district managers for this year
are: Mr. E. H. Porter of Western
High school of Detroit, Mr. A. An-
drews of the Central High school of
Grand Rapids, Mr. Frank Kuehl of
Iron River, and Mr. C. T. Milner of
Onaway.
"KEEP YOUR IDEALS IF YOU
WRITE" IS ADVICE OF TITUS
Anyone who cannotkeep his ideals,
should not write fiction, for his work
will haive no social value. This was
the gist of the last of a series of lec-
tures given by Harold Titus, '11, yes-
terday morning for the students of
rhetoric who are interested in maga-
zine work.
Mr. Titus discussed the pitfalls be-
fore young writers and he ranked as
very dangerous the tendency to com-
mercialize.
"Do not think first of your market,"
said Mr. Titus, "Write your story and
then try to sell ilt."
Warning was given to people to
keep out of short story writing if
they are lazy, for according to Mr.
Titus there is no possible occupation
that will so quickly take the vitality
and strength as creative work.

first time in the history of the United
States navy, services for Catholic sail-
ors are being conducted on board our
war vessels. On the bridge, formerly

MARINES DISPLAY ABILITY
IN BOMBARDING "CITIES"
Quantico, Va., Nov. 7.-U. S. marines
bombarded an enemy city yesterday
and the only buildings left standing af-
ter the terrific fire were churches and
hospitals.
It was only a miniature city, to be
sure, and the buildings were not more
than a foot high. Cities in miniature
are used as objectives by marine corps
artillerymen in training here, and the
little buildings in them are plainly
labeled "gun factory4" "barracks,"
"church," "hospital," etc. The marine
gunners are careful in training to
avoid hitting buildings marked
"church" or "hospital," and in prac-
tice they show wonderful marksman-
ship in razing buildings adjacent.
WARDEN WANTS LAW FORCING
EVERYONE TO GO TO WORK
Jackson, Mich., Nov. 7. - Edward
Frensdorf, acting warden of the state
prison here, will bring pressure upon
the next state legislature to pass a
law forcing every man in the state to
go to work or go to jail.
"America now needs every ounce of
national efficiency," Frensdorf declar-
ed. "There must be no idle rich and
no idle poor. If we are to win the
war, we must have the co-operation
and efficiency. This can come only
from united effort, loyalty and solidar-
ity, work and sacrifice on the part of
everyone."
