MARCEL AND WATER WAVING ARTISTIC HAIR DRESSING MANICURING I I Traverse City, Mich., Nov. 24.-The opinion of J. N. McBride, state mark- ets director, that there will be a pota- to famine in 1917 unless the .supply is conserved, is backed up by potato ex- perts who have gathered here to ob- tain all the potatoes they can, re- gardless of price. There has been almost a normal crop up in this section of the state this year, but the potatoes raised in the group of counties with Wexford on the south is not as large as it would have been had not the call of Detroit and other cities been heeded by hundreds of men. "Wherever you drive, you will find little tar paper shacks boarded up and the fields given over to weeds," said a buyer whose business takes him over the entire country. "The owners have given up and gone to Detroit, Flint, and other industrial cities. Instead of being producers, they are consumers now and are help-, ing to deplete the supply." "Detroit is to blame," said Perry F. Powers, of Cadillac, former state la-+ bor commissioner, when questioned. "Detroit is to blame for the extremely. high wages paid to diggers. It took so many men out of this country.",l But the abandoning of these littlec homes in the clearings is not the onlyf premise on which the threat of po- tatoes in the luxury class is based.< The federal government crop report is1 another indication. The crop estimates for Michigan show 20,945,000 bushelsc for last year, which was, not a goods year for potatoes, against 16,400,000 bushels for this year. Along with this, is the state report. This shows that the average of 86 bushels to the acre, for the entire state, has dropped to 45.22 bushels, while the total yield for the state is given at 22,266,664 bushelsc this year, against 28,776,634 bushelst last year. Then the government re-r port shows a 29,000,000 bushel short-n age for the ten-year average.C Nor is the outlook for next year as-s suring, say the experts. Tempted by the high prices, many farmers ared selling even their seed, and some,d thinking the high prices were but a flurry, have sold even their own sup-s ply. One of the big added attractions for the Michigan Union football smoker te be hefd tonight at Weinberg's colis- eum, is the "College Life" film, which was staged by students in Ann Arbor a few weeks ago. The film has been loaned by the Ann Arbor civic asso- ciation and will be run directly after the speeches and presentation of the "M's" and All-Fresh numerals. In theme, the film is the story of a verdant freshman who comes to Mich- igan, bubbling over with pathetic en- thusiasm for college life. His life throughout the years of his career at the University is shown, accentuating his development, and depicting the events in the student's life. Not only in trials and tribulations does this film show the effervescent "stude," but also in his moments of success and chagrin. All the University buildings and points of campus interest are shown, as well as the various dormitories and fraternity and sorority houses. Scenes of the campus at rush hours between classes are flashed on the screen, and various places of civic beauty and im- portance. The real feature of the film is the picture of the Michigan-M. A. C. game of which nearly the whole contest is shown in the "flickers." All the im- portant plays are caught by the cam- era man, and it is believed that the op- portunity to review one of the best victories of the year will prove an ad- ditional drawing card for the big smoker. ILL GIVE DEMONSTRATION AT CHESS CLUB MEETING W. T. Adams, '17, will give a demon- stration of Ruy Lopez and its varia- tions, discussing and illustrating the mid-gains resulting from it, to the members of the Chess club at 6:30 o'clock tonight in room 173 natural science building. In a correspondence game with Harvard two years ago, Mr. Adams won the game with the open defense which he worked out himself. The Chess club was recently pre- sented with a number of books from the Ljbrary, through the assistance of E. E. Bishop, librarian. The books do- nated are: "Chess Players' Compend- ium," Cook; "Chess Strategy," Ed- ward Lasker; "Common Sense in Chess," Emanuel Lasker; "Chess Open- ings," E. Freeborough, and "Interna- tional Chess Congress, St. Petersburg, 1909." The Chess club at present has a larger enrollment than that of last year, with possible further gains be- fore the end of the first semester. All non-members are cordially invited to attend the regular meeting tonight. i C 1 r t STODDARD SHOP HAIR Electric Auto Heater--Keeps Your Engine Warm Costs very little to operate Washtenaw Electric Shop The Shop of Quality If its net Right we make it Right Phone 273 200 East Washington St. Come In REULE, CONLIN, FIEGEL COMPANY 200-202,'MAIN 39 707 N.

The prisoner will be held until Chi- cago police can reach Spalding. Crones is said by the police to have poisoned the soup at a banquet at which Arch- bishop Mundelein was a speaker. Two hundred were made Ill but no one died. HOMEOPATHIC FACULTY GIVES ANNUAL BANQUET TO STUDENTS The faculty of the Homeopathic Medical School will give their annual banquet to the students of the depart- ment at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening at the Michigan Union. The affair will be followed by a formal party of the Homeopathic Hospital guild at Pack- ard academy. Dr. Dean W. Myers will act as toast- master. The principal speakers of the evening are Prof. Evans Holbrook and Ansel 13. Smith, '09. There will also be several extemporaneous speeches and short talks from the students of the department. This is the only college in the Uni- versity that gives a banquet to its students. All students, members of the faculty, and their wives are in- vited. INEFORMAL LUNCHEON GIVEN FOR GUESTS OF CONFERENCE An informal luncheon was given by the local members of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae at Foster's last night in honor of the out of town guests present in Ann Arbor for the vocational conference. Mrs. Gertrude Martin, the national executive secretary of Collegiate' Alumnae from Ithaca, N. Y., Mrs. Ed- ward C. Schmidt, vice-president of the local section of Collegiate Alumnae from Urbana, Ill., and Miss Gertrude Gogin, industrial secretary of the W. C. A., were the guests of honor. About 40 guests were present, and all were given the opportunity to meet the visitors in a very informal way. Robbed of $14,000 Jewels by Bandit Arkansas City, Nov. 24.-A bandit at revolver's point at noon today held up Clarence Mogle, clerk of the E. L. Mc- Dowell Jewelry Co., made Mogle hand over $15,000 worth of diamonds. He then locked Mogle in the vault and escaped. Mogle was alone, the other clerks having gone to lunch. Awards Contracts for Two Destroyers Washington, Nov. 24.-Secretary of the Navy Daniels this afternoon awarded contracts for two destroyers, the only ones remaining under the last appropriation bill, to the Mare Island navy yard, California, at $968,105 each. Deliveries are to be made in 18 and 20 months respectively. Appoint Union :Dance Committee Ike Fischer's orchestra will furnish the music for the Union dance tonight. Those named for the committee for this week's dance are: Gerveys Grylls, '17, chairman, Robert M. Schiller, '18, and John A. West, '20E. Every farmer should retain at least five bushels of potatoes for seed, says Mr. McBride, but with five bushels worth $7.50, there is a strong tempta- tion not to follow this advice. It is pointed out also that in 1917, there will be a strong foreign demand, as Europe will hardly be in condition to produce potato crops. These factors will make this year's prices seem small, declare those whose business it is to keep one guess ahead of the markets. Says Roumanian Case Not Critical London, Nov. 24.-Major-General Morris, director of military operations, in an interview this afternoon declared he did not consider the Roumanian situation critical. "In my opinion the German gains in Roumania do not overbalance their losses on the Ancre, around Monastir and along the Carso," he said. "These have resulted from the Germans' ne- cessity of weakening other fronts to make their efforts toward Bucharest. "The Roumanian situation is not critical. There is reason to believe that the Russians will send them time- ly reinforcements. The weather too is on the side of the allies." Flannel Shirts made to order. G. H. l l 1 z r Junior Law Society Holds Banquet at Delta Cafe Cabinet Club Will Hold Annual Dance The Cabinet club, composed of Mich- igan students and alumni who live in Washington, D.

NAVY IS 20,000 BELOW STRENGTH Rear Admiral McGowan Makes Report Before House Subcommittee Will Deliver Two Lectures on Subject of South and Building of Nation Prof. U. B. Phillips of the history department, will deliver two lectures in Boston, Mass., on Nov. 28 and 29, at the annual Lowell Institute's series of lectures. His subject for both lec- tures is "The South and the Building of the Nation." This series of lectures is financed by the interest of a sum of $250,000, one-half the fortune of John Lowell, who in 1832, gave this sum for the purpose of paying the expenses of a series of lectures to be given annually in the city of Boston. The trustee of the sum is President A. L. Lowell of Harvard University, who is a direct descendant of the donor. The lectures have been given annually and many of the foremost scholars and scientists of the United States and the world have already appeared in the series. Prof. F. L. Paxson, now of the his- tory department of the University of Wisconsin, but formerly of the history department of the University of Michi- gan,, will also deliver one of the lec- tures in this year's series.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The total en- listed strength of the United States navy is 20,000 below its authorized strength, Rear Admiral McGowan told the house naval subcommittee Thurs- day. He said that since July 1, when there were 50,000 enlisted men on the rolls, less than 1,000 were entered. "It is not that the men do not re- ceive fair wages, but that most of them cannot keep up their homes on their present pay," McGowan said in reply to a suggestion that wages be raised. "High pay in the industrial world," he declared, "is drawing men away." Revision of Thomas A. Edison's plan for a naval experimental laboratory to reduce its cost from the original $2,000,000 estimate to $1,500,000, was announced by Rear Admiral Harris. Grinnell Bros. 116 S.
