MOVIE CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN TO BE STARTED IN ANN ARBOR Represented in Ann Arbor by the Women's league, the Ann Arbor Wo- man's club, and the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the Michigan Federation of Women's Clubs is car- rying on a campaign for the suppres- sion of improper and immoral motion picture plays in this state. Every movie in this city and in the state will be visited during every per-! formance this week, and a general re- port will be made. The questionnaire which must be filled out by every inspector conducts, an investigation into matters of heat- ing, lighting and ventilation, as well as a criticism of the play itself from' a moral point of view POST OFFICE REPORT SHOWS INCREASED SALES FOR- 1917 throughout the city. Eight cars of coal arrived in Ann Arbor this morning and were shared by local coal dealers. All of the fifty, tons of coal that had ben loaned to the city Saturday by the University at the request of .Fuel Administrator Junius E. Beal were sold by the police department yesterday noon. Fuel Ad- ministrator Beal is expecting shortly six cars of coal that have been held up in Ohio and the dealers in this city are awaiting daily shipments. After having closed down for a week, the schools throughout the city resumed classes yesterday morning Due to the shortage of coal, the school board deemed it advisable to close the schools last week instead of during the Easter vacation period in April. Although the University has alto- gether loaned the city about 700 tons of coal from their bunkers, there is no likelihood that the University will have to close down because of an in- sufficiency of coal on its own part, a.c- cording to E. C. Pardon, Supt. of Buildings and Grounds. N "With moderate weather, such as we are having now," said Mr. Pardon yesterday, "the University will be able to get along for three months. Oth- erwise the coal we have on hand will only last half that time." ! During the cold weather, the Uni- versity has been burning 4,000 tons of coal monthly to heat the campus buildings, the University hospital, the botanical gardens and 15 of the nurses' homes. The efforts of Presi- dent Hutchins and Xr. Pardon to save the University's coal by keeping build- bings on the campus closed wherever possible has resulted in a daily saving of 15 to 20 tons of coal. On Sundays, the saving ranges from 15 to 25 tons. CAMP CUSTER HOLDS HIGHEST LIFE INSURANCE. PER CAPITA and THURS. d Feb. 14 .. HART -- ill - COLD DECK" I Hart's Best Picture Max Rosen, violinist, will appear on Friday night in Hill Auditorium, int the last of the pre-festival concerts. Max Rosen made his debut in Newk York on Jan. 12 under the auspicest of Stransky with the philharmonic orchestra and was instantly engaged by that organization for four concerts9 this year. New York is more thanI lavish in its praise of the new artiste who, while only 17 years old, has al-c ready created a sensation in the mu-t sical world.I Rosen is a product of New York's{ east side. As a small boy he displayedr remarkable talent, playing difficult1 airs on an old violin which he found in his neighborhood. He finally at-i tracted the attention of de Coppet, the1 famcus art patron of New York, who' was instrumental in sending him to! Europe where he studied under thei famous violin teacher, Leopold Auer.i When the war broke out Max Rosen followed his teacher to Christiana, Norway, there continuing his educa- tion until the present winter. Reports have reached this country from time to time relating his wonderful pro- gress but press notices prove that the artistic world was taken by storm when he appeared in person. Friday night's concert will mark the first appearance of Max Rosen outside of New York. Israel Joseph will pre- side at the piano. The program is as follows: I. Chaconne, Tomaso 'Vitali (1650)-? II.

The Marine Iron Works of Chicago will from now on net no more than five per cent profit on war orders. Food in Germany is reported bad. and dear, but sufficient, with great hopes of relief from Ukraine. New fields for chemists have been opened in the progress of aviation. Ways must be found, for example, to overcome susceptibility of machines to sudden changes of temperature, and some sort of chemical compound is needed to make cloth waterproof, air- proof, and slow-burning. In regard to Alsace-Lorraine the German cry is, "Bismarck's work must not be uidone." The Bolshevik republic needs 28,- 000,000,000 rubles annually.

The Varsity Glee club met last night for its first rehearsal of the second semester. Finishing touches for the first 1917-8 concert were given thek club's reditiosis, and the organization is now rounded into final fitness for its appearance on the 20th. Rehearsals are being held to keep the men familiar with the words of the songs, but all refining of technique has been accomplished. The club is in better form for its concert this year than it has been for many years past, owing to the extra amount of time devoted to training the men. Was has added to the quality of the personnel rather than detracting from it. The enrollment in the Glee and Mandolin clubs combined numbers between 80 and 90. A considerable nucleus of this list is composed of men who were in the clubs last year. Quite an amount of excellent talent was secured from last year's All-fresh Glee club, and several men have come from other universities. Robert R. Dieterle, '21M, is leader of the Glee club, and Mr. Theodore Harrison of the University School of Music is director. Dieterle is an Ann Arbor boy and is well known in local music circles. Mr. Harrison's talent is recognized throughout the state. Approximately 500 tickets for the concert have been ordered by the con- vention of state grocers which will be held in Ann Arbor during the con- cert week. The reputation of the clubs in Michigan caused the merchants from other cities to wish to hear the program next Wednesday. Tickets will be on sale on the campus begin- ning Thursday of this week. The ad- mission is 35 cents, including the war tax. Another rehearsal of the Glee club will be held Thursday night at the School of Music, and the Mandolin club will mnet the same evening at the Union.
