U Ur ut.iDui i BIG PART IN WAR I MILITi i i 9 .TISTWSC QUICKI( SHOW FACTORIES IN FILLING CON- TRACTS igS Detroit, March 21.-The tremendous part which th automobile factories and other industrial plants of Detroit, are playing in the prosecution of the war is shown by figures obtained for the Associated Press by the Detroit board of commerce. Accordiig to these statistics war contracts totaling $600,000,000 have been turned over to local firms since last April but in- dustrial leaders and trade experts. seem agreed that this fact is second- ary in importance. Contracts Filled The, leading spectacle in Detroit's war drama has been the remarkable speed with which many of these con- tracts have been filled. It is believed that no city in America got under head way for government work more quick- ly; kept more free from strikes and labor dissension; protected its indus- trial resources more perfectly from enemy plots, or accomplished more+ when rail and water transportation' facilities were lacking. There has not The article in yesterday's paper, re- ferring to the wearing of officers' uniforms and insignia by members of the faculty was erroneous, said Lieut. George C. Mullen last night. Members of the faculty are in the R. O. T. C.' in the capactiy of instructors and are not competing against the students for commissions. They are allowed to wear uniforms and insignia as pre- scribed by the commandant. For the first time this semester, cadets were drilled on Ferry field yes- terday afternoon. Men drilling with guns were also taken to the field. The military authorities stated last night that the condition of Ferry field is ideal for drilling purposes. At the present time the cadets after forming in companies before the Hill auditor- ium, will march to the field. One Enfield mag ine rifle, known as the United States rifle, model of 1917, was received by the military au- thorities yesterday afternoon from the Rock Island arsenal. The rifle will be used to instruct the cadets in the pre- liminary gallery range practice. Calkins Drug Co. SEASON. ABOUT GET TER KODAK TO TALK WITH .

A-NING, PRESS- CLEANING AT INVITED TO I Large right been a strike of important proportions in Detroit since the United States en- tered the war. Several attempts at incendarism were nipped in the bud and there has been no serious fire at a war products factory. Conceive Liberty Afotor Detroit men conceived the Liberty motor. While motor experts were per- fecting this piece of machinery, a local factory, nearly a quarter of a mile in length, was being built. A short time after the motor was approved by the government, it was being turned out in this factory. On another occasion, government representatives came to Detroit Nvith contracts for $30,000,000 worth of ord- nance. A large automobile company accepted the task; spent more than $1,000,000 for building construction and in a comparatively short time had installed the special machinery which the government had furnished. Man- ufacturing then became a routine. Then a proposition was made to manufacture shells here. Several bmus- iness men held a meeting, organized a company, and a new industry was founded. Fuel lestrqtions iised Detroit factories now are getting ready for their big output drive. Fuel restrictions imposed by the national and state administrators have been lifted, navigation soon will be opened, freight service is expected to be much better and the motor truck trains will continue to rumble eastward. Then the fear of over-production setbacks will be dissipated, it is believed.

Each man will be given an opportunity to demonstrate his abil- ity, either as a platoon or a com- pany commander. The showing that he makes, while exercising this cor mand, will form the basis for any re- ports recommending his advancement in the cadet corps.

"If the men are working hard," said one censor the other day, "not more than five letters a day will come through me and they will all be ahort, If there is just a little work to be done the number of letters probably will be about twenty-five, And if the command happeils to be doing noth- ing at all-say it is resting after a period in the line-I may get as many as two hundred letters in a day to censor.

The total amount of stamps sold for the week ending March 16 equalled $2,094 as opposed to $1,215 for the week ending March .9. During the month of February $13,599 worth of stamps were sold. Although the state of Michigan ranks 46th in the amount of stamps sold, Washtenaw county, and espe-I cially Ann Arbor, is running far abovei every county in the state. An extend- ed campaign is being conducted by the county committee to reach every locality they are representing. A house to house campaign will be held here this coming Monday for the sale of stamps with the hope that the quota may be reached in the drive. The committee hopes to reach every resident and to make him an investor in "baby bonds". The campaign for the organization of thrift societies is being conducted by Mr. Newton C. Fetter, secretary of. the student Y. M. C. A. He has suc- eeeded in organizing 22 societies in Chelsea and is spreading propaganda to other sections of the county. The first 100 societies formed will be known as star societies. Several clubs are already organized in Ann Arbor among the children in the ward schools. The campaign will be spread among the adult organizations next week. Extension Lectures Prof. H. R, Cross will speak tonight in Wayne on "Fra Lippo Lippi.
