EVERYTHING ELECTR ICAL 1N'c Job too :small er too Lare °i 1 WASHTENAW ELEOTRIC SHOP "The Shop of Quality" BAIJ FINANCIAL CONDITIONS MARE ISSUING OF BONDS UNPEACTICABLE Although the Ann Arbor city water fairly throbs with life after each heavy rain or thaw the city council will probably make no effort to improve conditions in the near future. Ac- cording to an estimate recently made by City Engineer Manley Osgood, the cost of improving the water supply would be about $200,000. Authorities have advised the coun- cil that for the city to bond itself for such an amount would be unwise at this time because of bad financial con- ditions resulting from the war, and also because of the great number of Liberty bonds issued by the govern- ment. It is believed, however, that bonds could be floated if the people shaw sufficient interest in such a pro- Huron River Bad Source of Supply "The course of the Huron river is enough to condemn it as a water sup- ply," said Dr. J. A. Wessinger, health officer. "Near Dexter the river flows by a cemetery, in fact some of the graves are on the very edge of the river. This is in itself enough to ren- der the water unfit for drinking pur- poses, notwithstanding other bad conditibs." The city recently bought the Steere farm, just outside the city where pure water can be obtained in abundance. Last spring a decision was handed down by the supreme court giving the city all rights to the water and the next step is to pipe it to the city. This water supply is pure from the start and needs no purifying processes. - City Watei Served in Drug Stores It was reported to the University health service yesterday that unboiled city water was being served with sun- daes in a number of local drug stores. The health service advises that local filters may clear up the water but that they by no means actually purify it. All water should be boiled until further notice and every precaution should be taken to prevent any epid- emic which may result. ECIOOMICSPECTSQOF WORLD WAR DEVELPED 'PROFESSOR SHARFMAN PREDICTS, RADICAL CHANGES BEFORE END OF STRUGGLE "The Economic Phase of the World Today" was. the subject of the lec- ture given by Prof. I. Leo Sharfman under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. at Sarah Caswell .Angell hall yes- terday. , Professor Sharfman outlined the outstanding characteristics and tien- dencies of an economic nature in the present world crisis. He emphasized the importance o&f economic interest as a cause of 'the war and economic activity as a means' of waging the war. , "Food will win the war," he asserts, "is one way of saying that the war' is being fought on economic lines by ,all the people of a nation against all 'the people of another nation." One of the most important changes that has come into our national econ- omic life .according to Professor Sharfman, is the substitution of or- ganized authority for personal enter- prise and as examples of this he cites $he government control of the rail- roads, shipping facilities and food] prices. Professor Sharfman predicts that the world will see many radical changes before the end of the present Military drill will be given to the members of the R. O. T. C. band at 7 o'clock tonight in the handball court in the basement of Waterman gym- nasium. The military drill will be followed by band practice, and all members must bring their instru- ments. It is imperative that attend- ance at this drill be perfect, accord- ing to a statement issued last night from the military offices, as the band is holding so few practices, due to their present advancement. All cadets who failed to receive the size shoes which they specified will report for corrections at 10 o'clock this morning at the office of the com- mandant in Waterman gymnasium. Cadets who have ordered the wrong sized shoes must wait until further notice is given out before attempt- ing to make any exchange. Orders were issued by the military authorities last night for all cadets to wear their uniforms to drills, un- less they are being altered. "It is hoped that the cadets will also adopt the habit of wearing their uniforms to classes," stated Lient. George C. Mullen yesterday. A list containing the names of the cadets whose uniforms are ready for' distribution at Henry and company was posted on the bulletin boards last night by the military officials. More than 150 names appear on the list. John C. Neylor, '17P, left this morn- ing for Austoria, Long Island, to join the gas defense service. There will be a meeting of all the company basketball managers at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon in Dr. George A. May's office in the gymnasium, to arrange a playing schedule. Sailing Under False Colors A number of students enrolled in the R. O. T. C. have been guilty of sailing under false colors. During the week-end trips to Detroit the cadets grasp the , opportunity of wearing their uniforms. This a privi- lege which should not be abused. Last Saturday two R. O. T. C. men were waiting for a car on Woodward avenue, when two Camp Custer pri- vates, after saluting, stepped aside to enable them to enter the car. Similar cases have been reported from time to time. Although 'the privates saluted in good faith, believing that the students were oficers, a gross mistake was made by these two cadets. Univer- sity students in the training corps are not as yet officers, and when instances occur like the above example cited, the cadets ought to explain their pos- ition. Misrepresentation should not be indulged in at any time by an of- ficer. Intercompany basketball games are being played four times each week in Waterman gymnasium until the cham- pionship is dcided. The following companies played last Monday night: Company. A, First regiment won from the Headquarters company, 20 to 8; company I, Second regiment, com- pany B, Second regiment, 12 to 8;l company L, First regiment, company I, First regiment, 31 to 4; company C, Second regiment won by a forfeit. The following athletic and gymnas- tic program wil be given by Dr. George A. May at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon to the second battalion of the First regiment: Company I, tug-of-war, parallel bar, horse, sprinting; company K, sprint- ing, horse, parallel bar, tug-of-war; company L, relay racing, wrestling; company M, wrestling, relay racing. !iSuts n Tailored tc IndiVidual Sw All wool Fountai of Yot PLACE OF QUALITY I 1 We are again serving breakfas luncheon and are open all day 8:30 a. m. to 12 p. m.
