that big industries did not welcome
the war for profiteering reasons.
A pamphlet of instructions to the
speakers was prepared by the commit-
tee on public information, division of

This pamphlet shows that the Am-
erican tax on a married man's in-

tax is $225, Great Britian's levy is
about one-third more than this if the
income is interest on investments-

X18 OPera-P ost'er
Appears In City
After a delay occasioned by the non-
arrival of the color plates, the 1918
Union opera poster, designed by Reed'
E. Bachman, '20, has made its ap-
pearance in the streets of Ann Arbor.
The picture represents a young wa-
man, distinctively Parisienne in mien
and manner with an officer-seemingly
a direct descendant of the genus
"lounge lizard." The latter's left eye
alone is visible, the other possibly
having been destroyed by shell fire,
although he apparently has never
heard the boom of the busy Berthas.
In striking contrast to the back-
ground of lavender are the olive green
of the military uniform and the yellow,
vermilion, green, and blue of the lady'Is
garb, which in itself covers much, of
the picture. Her apron and cap of
white relieve the startling effects
brought about by the elaborate color
scheme.
The lettering "Let's Go!l" is unique
and wholly in keeping with the tone.
of the poster.
Conference to Discuss Food Problem
"The community co-operation nec-
essary to win the war" will be the key-
note of the third annual better coin-
munity conference to be held at the
University of' Illinois on April 4, 5, 6,
and 7. The problem of food conser-
vation will be one of the importan't
items for discussion as well as the
social, business, political, and religious
war roles to be undertaken at the
present.
College Courtship Ends in Marriage
Announcement has been made of the
marriage of Alice J. Christman, of
Monroe; Mich., to Robert M. Allan,
'18L, last Friday at Detroit.
The courtship began at Ann Arbor
when both were students at the Uni-
versity. Allan is a member of the1
Delta Chi fraternity.J

Officer Emmett Sodt expects to as-
sume his duties as the traffic officer
again this summer and is putting his
motor cycle in shape to use it within
the next week. He expects to rigidly
enforce the city traffic ordinances and
to curb the speeding that has been so
common in Ann Arbor in the past. He
says that there are a number of street
corners near the campus that are par-
ticularly dangerous and warns drivers
to use extraordinary precautions to
prevent accidents.
Leo J. Martin, the local secretary of
the cigar makers' union, appeared be-

able to make good his deficiency.
The case of Charles Long, charged

BOXING GLOVES AND BAYONETS
HELP IN MAKING FIGHTERS
Philadelphia, March 11. - Boxing
gloves and bayonets are twin broth-
ers in developing fighting skill, ac-
cording to Sergeant Samuel Katcher
of the United States marine corps.
Katcher is the lightweight. champion
of the marines, and is known to his
comrades as "Fighting Sammy."
"The blocks, counters, and blows of
boxing as closely imitated in bay-
onet fighting," says Katcher. "Train- I
ed boxers who are learning to be-
come infantry fighters have remarked
the similarity of the butt stroke to
the body as a counter for an oppon-
ent's higlh thrust with the bayonet.
At the completion of this blow the
positions of the bayonet men are
identical with those of boxers.
"Of course the effect of the rifle punch
if pushed home means a knock-out,
if not sure death, to the man who re-
celeves it," he added, "where a similar
blow in boxing would be only an in-
cident of the bout."
Katcher has had ample opportunity
to practice his skill with both rifle
and fists. He participated in several
engagements in Nicaragua a few years
ago. In the same country he won the
title of lightweight champion of the
United States marine by knocking out
his rival in a few seconds.
