U. S. Planes Go To France
Washington, Feb. 20.-The first American built battle planes are
enroute to France nearly five months ahead of the original schedule.
In making this announcement tonight Secretary Baker said the
first shipment, although in itself not large, "marks the final overcom-
ing of many difficulties met in building up this new and intricate in-
dustry."
"These planes," Mr. Baker said, "are equipped with the first Lib-
erty motors from machine production. One- of them in a recent test
surpassed all records for speed and climbing for planes of that type.
Engine production which began a month ago is now on a quantity;
basis, and the peak of production will be reached in a few weeks. Only
the 12-cylinder type is being made, as developments abroad have
shown it wise to concentrate on the high powered engine instead of
the eight-cylinder.'

which the food administration worked
out in great detail, and that President
com- Wilson already has full authority to
caose readjust the price if necessary.
Wheat is now selling on a basis of
pe-$2.20 a bushel. The prices are main-
res- tained by heavy government purchases
rep- for the army and navy and for the
"rep-
, the allies.
aries, Already the agitation for a higher
noon price for next season's crop, food ad-
omen ministration officials say, is checking
the flow of wheat to the terminals and
west- to the mills and threatens to stop it
been entirely.
The flour situation in Ann Arbor3
remains unchanged today with no re-
lief in sight. Small bakery firms
throughout the city are expected to
close within the next two weeks.
No 'increase in the price of bread
in spite of added cost of manufacture
will occur as a result of the action
of a bakers' conference held at Lans-
ing which ended in a decision to main-
tain the current price until Feb. 24.
On that day, Victory bread, containing
20 per cent grain substitutes, will be
sold to the public. A government in-
quiry has been started into the high
prices charged for mill feed in west-
ern states asda result of several com-
plaints made about extortionate
prices.
The Michigan Milling company con-
tinues to be closed and no supplies
of flour are reaching the city. Food
Administrator Prescott of Detroit, was
expected yesterday at Ann Arbor to
speak before the grocers' convention
being held in this city, but was unable
to appear because of a message which
called him to Lansing.
Leading bakers and grocers in this
city advise people against becoming
too frightened over the situation, al-
though C. H. Hyde of the Oklahoma
council of defense, has stated the pos-
sibility of wheatless weeks within a
short time instead of wheatless days.

tion cards containing the photographs
of the aliens will be given them and

SERVICE FLAG PRESENTED BY
ASSOCIATION OF
GROCERS
Michigan's Glee and Mandolin clubs,
presenting a varied and lively pro-
gram, were well received last even-
ing when they appeared in a combined
concert in Hill auditorium.
J. A. Lake of the Grocers' and Gen-
eral merchants' association now in
convention in this city, presented the
combined clubs with a service flag
containing 35 stars in honor of the
men from these two organizations now
in the service of the government. It
was called to the attention of the gro-
cers Tuesday that the clubs possessed
no flag; the matter of securing one
was enthusiastically taken up, and a
member was sent to Detroit yester-
day to purchase one. Robert Dieterle,
'21M, received the flag for the clubs
and then led them in a yell for the
donors.
J. Palma, '20M, A. B. Thompson,
'21M, W. R. Stark, '19, and P. R.
Kempf, '20, the Midnight Sons' quar-
tet, presented several cleverly done
feature numbers.
R. Berman, '19, M. W. Kann, '20, and
Frank A. Taber, Grad, a violin, 'cello,
and piano trio rendered two excellent
numbers: "By the Brook" by Bois-
:leffre, and "Spanish Dance, No. 5," by
Moszkowski.
A Varsity quartet composed of T. S.
Barnett, '18M, J. H. Tuttle, '20, Rob-
ert R. Dieterle, '21M, and'L. R. Van
Ness, '20, were also given much ap-
plause.
The love of the student body for
good jazz was shown when they called
for three encores from the Mandolin
club septet composed of A. J. Gornet-
sky, '19L, L. W. Kunkel, '18, Harry
Sunley, '20, C. H. Cottington, '19, V.
A. Carpenter, '20, H. V. Pruha, '19,
and M. W. Kann, '20.
The performances of Robert Dieter-
le, 21M, soloist for the Glee club and
of R. Berman, '19, violin soloist, were
worthy of the many compliments they
received.
The numbers by the combined clubs i
and by each club separately showed
plenty of talent and that the fellows
had been working hard. The program1
as .a .whole was well balanced, andI
sustained the interest of the largel
crowd from the beginning to the end.
ELEPHANTINE FOSSIL SKULL
SHOWN IN SCIENCE MUSEUM 1
After three months work in mount-
ing, a skull of a Titanotherium has
been placed on exhibition in the geolo-1
gical museum in the Natural Sciencei
building. This is the most valuable
specimen of some five hundred verte-1
brate and invertebratetfossils found
by the expedition sent to the Big Bad;
Lands of South Dakota last summer
by the University. Some of the limb
bones as well as the skull were un-
earthed, and those in charge of the
museum hope to be able, sometime in
the future, to restore the whole of
the body of this prehistoric animal,,
which was about the size and some-
what the shape of an elephant.
Prof. F. N. Scott's Classes Not to Meet
Prof. F. N. Scott will not meet his
classes today because he has gone as.
a delegate from the North Central As-
sociation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools to the convention of the Na-
tional- Security League to be. held in

MILITARY FOOD I
BEGINS CLASSES
Military Food I, a war food course
recommended by Herbert S. Hoover to
upperclass college women all ove. the
country, was inaugurated yesterday
afternoon at Michigan before a class
of 115 juniors and seniors.
Through the joint efforts of Acting
Dean Agnes E. Wells, Miss Grace
Greenwood, and Dr. Herbert W. Em-
erson, the course was briefly outlined
as to scope and purpose. The plan as
outlined by Mr. Hoover includes three
divisions-war and food, nutrition,
and laboratory work. Due to a late
start here, the first two will be com-
bined into one course which will be
given at 4 o'clock Monday, Wednes-
day, and Friday in Tappan hall, under
the combined tutelage of Miss Green-
wood and Dr. Emerson. The labora-
tory work will be conducted by Dr.
Emerson from 4 to 5:30 o'clock on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Two hours credit, will be given for
the general course with an additional
hour for the laboratory work. It is
preferred by University authorities
that this work be added to the stu-
dent's regular program, which may
be done without application for extra
hours. However, other courses may
be dropped for this purpose if deemed
expedient.
After the course. was outlined, Miss
Greenwood gave the first lecture on
the nature of cookery and its purpose.

RED CROSS FOLLOW-UP CANVAS '
TO YIELD $2,OO PER MONTH
An income of more than $2,500 per
month is expected by the local Red
Cross after the follow-up campaign
just inaugurated has been completed.
It was impossible for the canvassers
to see all the residents Sunday and
Postmaster H. J. Abbott, head of the
local Red Cross, is sending out a cir-
cular letter to the people who were
not seen Sunday to ask for contribu-
tions.
The money will be used entirely for
work in the city. One-third of it will
go to the surgical dressing department
in Angell house, another third to buy
yarn for the large number of Univer-
sity and Ann Arbor women who are
knitting daily. The third will be used

i -
Camp Custer, Feb. 18.-The demand
fOr teachers of French is so great hereI
that it far exceeds the supply. The ed-
ucational director of the Y. M. C. A.
has adopted a novel method of reliev-l
ing the situation. Acting on his sug-
gestion, the executive committee of
the Michigan State teachers' associa-
tion has made an appropriation of
$500, with which to purchase phono-
graphs and records to be used in
teaching the soldiers.

PROF. HUGO THIEME GIVES
LECTURE ON MILLET'S ART
"Millet's art represents serious
France",said Prof. Hugo P. Thieme in
a lecture before the Cercle Francais
yesterday afternoon. Prof. Thieme
stated that the object of the great
painter seems to have been to per-
sonify work. To tipify this he chose
the peasant. Millet broke away from
the traditions of former artists, he
threw laws and canons overboard and
painted life as he saw it. His aim
was to be realistic.
Prof. Thieme supplemented his tall(
with views of various paintings.
