DURING SPRING REC]

Grocery stores, meat markets, and
other purveyors of foodstuffs will be al-
lowed to remain open Mondays regard-
less of the closing order of Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield which governs
places of business. Distributors of
foods are permitted to keep their
stores open for the regular nine-hour
day, according to the rule.
Mayor Ernest M. Wurster has an--
nounced that grocers and butchers
need have no fear of violating the law
if they remain open Monday, provid-
ing they close Sunday. Milk dealers
will be allowed to distribute milk on
Sunday as well as Monday.
Many Men Out of Work
About 500 men in the city, as near
as can be learned, are having an en-
forced vacation because of the five-
day closing rule that governs all in-
dustries except those doing contract
work for the government. The Hoover
.plant will reopen Monday because it
is in this class. All employees have
been ordered to report for work as
usual. The Elwell Trolley Supply
company is also in operation the same
as ever. Store employees will have
a day's vacation on Monday. Other
industries will reopen Wednesday.
Hours Finally Announced
Hours for the merchants have been
chosen as follows: General merchan-
dise, 8 to 5. daily except Monday; 8 to
8 Saturday; drug stores, downtown 9
to 6, State street 11 to 8; confection-
ery and lunch stores, 11 to 1 and 3 to
10; restaurants, 7 to 9:30, 11 to 2:30,
and 5 to 8; theaters, five hours a day
except Monday and Tuesday; food pur-
veyors, 8 to 5 five days of week, Sat-
urday 8 to 8, Sunday closed. Drug
stores will be allowed to keep open
Monday providing they sell drugs and
drug sundries only and do not en-
croach upon the rights of other stores
by selling other merchandise. Confec-
tionery stores must close on Sunday
as well as on Monday. Saturday hours
for nearly all stores are from 8 to S.
Downtown stores will run on central
and State street stores on eastern
time.
Complaints Made
Many complaints were made to the
police office yesterday stating that
merchants in various parts of the city
were not closing according to the
laws. Every violator was immediate-
ly notified by the police that he must
close or be prosecuted. There will be
no leniency shown in the enforcement
of the rules, according to Chief of
Police O'Brien. All offenders will be
considered unpatriotic and prosecut-
ed without exception. It is absolute-
ly essential that everyone observe the
laws for the mutual welfare of the
whole community.
Clubs Undecided
Several clubs and lodges are unde-
cided as to what can be done to co-
operate with the merchants in sav-
ing fuel. Hours in some cases will
probably be shortened and fuel and
light are being conserved everywhere.
The Union and Christian associations
were the first to close their buildings
earlier and others are expected to
follow their example. Clubs are not
regulated by the rulings but are
prompted to act by patriotism.
Trains Keep Schedule
Trains are running on their old
schedules, unaffected by the coa
shortage and closing laws. All lines
entering Ann Arbor have the regular
trains and cars running and do not
. expect to change times.

tion of peace is that the constituent

the aims of the war."

fight because of the extreme state of

peror who has the exclusive right to
make war and peace.'

First Tryouts for Feminine Cst a
Chorus Parts Scheduled for
Tuesday
Women will be permitted to ta
part in "Let's Go," the 1918 Un
opera.
The annual opera trip may be ma
during the spring vacation.
These are the results of action takl
by the senate committee on stud
affairs in regard to a petition prese
ed by the Michigan Union. The i
solution passed by the committee a
as follows:
"At the meeting of the senate co
mittee on student affairs, held Jan.
the request of the Michigan Uni
that women mlight be allowed to ta
the feminine parts in the Union oa
was granted under the following .c
ditions:
Provisions of Resolutions
"First, that the persons who ta
part in the opera, including the co
mittee work, must be regular stude
taking full work in the University
in the University School of Music, a
that all participants shall be subi
to the eligibility rules of the Unive
ty and to their administration by P
fessor Humphreys, the chairman
the University committee on eligil
ity; secondly, that in the case of
women who take part, parental p
mission must be first secured and fi
in writing with Miss Agnes Wells, a
ing dean of women. All other det
will be subject, as usual, to the sen
committee on student affairs.
Spring Vacation Trip
"The senate committee on -stud
affairs also transmitted to the sen
council the request of the Michis
Union to be allowed to take an o
of-town trip during the spring va
tion, with the recommendation tha
be granted."
Reasons for Petition
The petition was presented to
committee by the Union, after it se
ed evident that there would be i
ficient talent to assume both the n
and feminine roles in the opera. Mi
of the men who, in former years, h
taken part in the opera, have eni
ed the service, and the Union has t
been depriYed of a number of its p
pective actors.
For Duration of War
The practice of allowing womer
participate in the opera may ext
only for the duration of the war,'
er which the Union may return to
former policy of producing the i
with men assuming all roles.
The cast of "Let's Go," includes
or eight feminine parts, with 12 w
en in the chorus.
First Tryouts
The first tryouts for women for.
cast and chorus are to be held a
o'clock Tuesday afternoon 'at
School of Music. Freshmen women
not eligible.
Announcement of the names of
men who survived the tryouts and
hearsals held Wednesday evening
the Union will be mnade in Tuesd
Daily. Delay in making eliminat
prevented the list from being publ
ed Friday morning, as prevlousl
nounced.
lMfove S. C. A. To LAw Buinli
The offices of the Students" Chris
association were moved to room 1
the Law building yesterday. -]
step was necessitated by .the
shortage that closed Lane 'and V
berry halls. The Newberry tea r
has not been moved yet.

Two defeats in the forensic art were
Michigan's lot Friday. On top of the
defeat at the hands of Northwestern
came the news that the affirmative
team had been defeated by Chicago
with a score of 3 to 0.
Northwestern's negative and affirma-
tive teams were both winners. Chica-
go won from Michigan's affirmative
but lost to Northwestern's negative.
This left Michigan's teams with a
cipher attached to their place on the
scoreboard.
The final reckoning for the twenty-
year 14erles is as follows: Michigan
10, Northwestern 8, Michigan 12, Chi-
cago 8.
SEND OUT $5000 INCOME TAX
BLANKS FROM WASHINGTON
The personal income tax blanks
have been sent out from Washington
and will arrive in Ann Arbor in a
few days. These are the blanks to be
used by persons whose incomes are
not more than $5,000 a year. The
blanks for larger incomes, or for cor-
porations, have not yet been sent out.
Many business men of Ann Arbor!
will be affected by the income tax, as
well as members of the faculty. Few
students, however, will have to pay
the tax, as only a small percentage of
them have incomes.
