It is esti- mated that there are more than 12,000 stenographers at the present time, most of whom are girls. Although their work is not full of glory nor very romantic, yet it is highly import- ant, and the government could not carry on the war a month without them. The rapidly expanding departments that employ typists and stenographers, require more and more of them with astonishing rapidity. The civil 'ser- vfce commission estimates that before another year there will be more than 20,000 of sich employees. In many cases it is hard to find the people necessaryto fill the demands, and civil service examinations are con- stantly being held for those who are interested. The examinations are held every Tuesday, in 450 cities; besides these, an examination can be had at any time in any city if there is a pros- pect of getting three or four to take it.

CHICAGO TOSSERS STOP MICHIGAN QUINTET 22- VARSITY FIVE DROPS SECOND CONFERENCE BASKET- BALL TILT Michigan's quintet was set back by the score of 22 to 6 in the second con- ference game of the basketball season by the fast Chicago five in Barlett gymnasium Saturday. It was a fast and rough battle from start to finish, and the Michigan play- ers easily outclassed by the smoothly running. Maroon aggregation. From the first blast of the whistle the Maize and Blue players put up a stubborn defense and it was due to the untiring clinging and guarding of the Michigan guards and center to the crack Ma- roon players, Gorgas and Vollmer, that kept the score to what it was. It was the first Chicago-Michigan athletic contest since 1905, and the first time the two universities ever met on the basketball floor. Both teams showed the old time pep that the graduates of the schoql often re- late to this generation and considered from the viewpoint of Michigan's re- entry into the Conference the Maize and Blue team won a host of support- ers. Emery was the only Michigan player t , cage a basket and succeeded in bag- ging two in the second half when the Wolverines took a spurt that broke through the impregnable Chicago de- fensive. Ruzicka and Later guarded Gorgas and Vollmer as if'they were convicts and the clever Chicago basket tossers were unable to get in their deadly shots. Enthusiasm was at white heat dur- ing the game and a crowd of 3,000 students raised considerable din dur- ing the battle.

I in T 1 a local department1 McConnell and his companion, George Barnard, aged 20, were in Chandler the night of Aug. 23, 1916, and decided to attend a lecture to be given that night by a former bandit and train robber who is now an evan- gelist. The lecturer told the story of his former life and his subsequent reformation. The two farmer boys, after hearing the stirring narrative, broke into a local department store and robbed it of what they could carry. Sheriff Arnold attempted to arrest the boys early next morning in a park north of - Chandler. McConnell was crawling, through a hole in a barbed wire fence, after a short chase, when Arnold grabbed his coat and started to crawl through the hole after his prospective prisoner. McConnell, turning, drew a revolver and shot Arnold. Two white men have been hanged since the establishment of statehood, o but the five men suffering the death o penalty since the introduction of elec- trocution as the legal mode of inflict- I ing capital punishment, were negroes.

In Spare Time Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Jan. 21.-Following a number of requests from nearby communities that coal be sent them from the Camp coal pile, Major General Parker issued the fol- lowing statement today concerning the policies of the camp:- "While the commanding general deeply sympathizes with the hardship which is being experienced by certain people of communities and would be glad to be the means of relieving such hardship, this seems at present impracticable for the following reas- ons: "(1)-This encampment has no sur- plus coal; has coal only for a limited length of time and is likely to run short unless conditions are improved. "(2)-To loain certain individuals or communities would instantly bring about a demand from other communi- tie":, perhaps laboring under greater hardships. "(3)-The regulations of the war de-' partment explicitly forbid the loan- ing of army supplies to private indi- viduals or to state or municipal au- thorities." The official emphatically denied that coal intended for delivery at ad- jacent cities had been commandeered by the quartermaster. An emergency order of 8,000 gray kid fleece-lined gloves, purchased in the open market, arrived at the camp today in an effort to further protect the men in Camp Custer. They will be issued at once. More than 13,- 000 pairs of rubbers, purchased by the state, have been received. A carload of shoes and 8,000 pairs of leggings al- so arrived today. Gordon Cooke, '16E, Dies In Texas Second.Lieut.
