Thor- ington, '17P, in a letter received re- cently by Fred J. Pierson of Flint. "Our section has been on active duty, on the very front, for several weeks now, and we have all seen many of the things you read about in the states," Thorington writes. "We have seen many air fights, seen many planes fall, and heard many shells both depart and arrive. Car Stalls Under Fire "My partner and I recently had a narrow escape. We were on a heavily wooded roard, and were just about to turn a corner, when our motor stalled. It was very quiet then, no shelling, and I got out of the car to give the engine a turn. I had no more than stepped upon the ground when I heard a noise like the Wolverine ex- press coming at full speed. "Well, this rushing thing came right out of a clear sky. I did not try to crank, but dropped flat in the mud, hoping the shell wouldn't come close. My hoping was of no avail, for the shell landed on the other side of the road, not more than 10 yards from the car, and exploded with a terrible crash. After I made sure that I had not been hit I started to crank again. I had only time to turn it over once when another rushing sound came through the air. Thrown Against Car "As before I dropped, or nearly did, because the explosion came before I was all the way down and the con- cussion threw me up broadside against the car. A third time I started to crank and the same thing happened. A rushing came; I dropped, and the same thing happened. A rushing came; I dropped, and the shell ex- ploded not more than 15 yards away, throwing mud all over us. I was shaking so I could hardly hold the handle, but by some means I did crank the machine and the car -finally left the spot."

Sherman Was Right Hurriedly; carefully, and tenderly he carried it home. For many hours he had patiently waited in line to re- ceive it. But, that did not matter, for now wasn't he the proud owner? Caressingly he foundled its wholly warmth as he swiftly walked along. Would she notice him? Well, I should say!{ His suit was threadbare. For sev- eral months he had postponed the purchase of a new one while wait- ing for it to arrive. He took it to his room. But-let us observe the scene from the hallway. Sounds of rustling cloth are heard. A few sec- onds later-zip! zzz-zip! Can it be a tear? A muffled exclamation, and a torn piece of khaki sails through the transom. We enter the compartment, only to find a figure sobbing hysterically on the floor. "F-four months of w-waiting and now it w-won't f-fit! moans the rookie.

Does the price of a War Sav- ings stamp always remain the same? A. No. The price for each month appears on the face of each stamp. Never pay more or less than the amount shown for the month in which you make the purchase. The price is $4.12 in December, 1917, and Janu- ary, 1918, and increases 1 cent each month after January, 1918, until in December, 1918, when the price is $4.23. Q. Why is the price higher each month? A. Because the stamps are earn- ing interest.

It is planned to have the girls instructed in that branch of work in which they are most interested, in order that they can be of service to their home com- munity after leaving the University. The, following plan of division has been suggested by Miss Agnes Wells, acting dean of women: The senior girls will first be divided into geo- graphical units which will meet once a month to discuss individual com- munity problems in war work, and there will be a further division into groups of common interest. Each girl in the geographical units will decide whether she will work i the Re( Cross class, the food class or the class in patriotic education These groups will meet once a month and speakers are to be secured to ad- dress the meetings. NAVAL COURSES MAY BE ON SUMMER SESSION PROGRAM Courses in naval science and tactics will be given this summer if a faculty can be secured to teach them, accord- ing to a statement by Professor Boak. Should enough students enroll, it will also be given next year. In case a sufficiently large number sign up, a naval officer may be stationed here to take charge of the course. An en- rollment of about 150 would be neces- sary. The course as planned would fit men for an examination for ensign in the naval reserves, and would re- quire two hours daily for two years Rugs cleaned and washed. Satisfac- tion guaranteed.
