START RIGHT AND WEAR THE GREY CAPS. Freshmen of the class of 1920 will be welcomed at the mass meeting to- night in Hill auditorium. They will be taught Michigan songs and told Michigan traditions. The meeting will be, open to all university students, though the first year men will be the guests of honor, and will have a sec- tion reserved particularly for them. The freshmen have been told by the committee in charge that they will1not be admitted to the section reserved for them without their grey caps. This is a good provision. It gives the fresh- men a good opportunity to start the year right, and to show their willing- ness to comply with Michigan tradi- tions. THE NEW "Y" BUILDING. Old students, returning this fall, find among the numerous improve- ments and additions on and near the campus, one new building of great significance. For many years returning students and freshmen have witnessed t.e rather pathetic spectacle of a litt3 white shanty nearly hidden by a big tent. In this little shanty and tent the University Y. M. C. A. has built up the largest employment bureau run in connection with any student Christian association. A large service bureau, helping students, both members and non-members, has whirlpooled about this site for years. The incoming stu- dent is helped in his quest of a job, a room, a boarding place, a roommate, inexpensive second-hand books, in- formation of all sorts. The site of so many years of past service, and of the promise of many more, is now marked with a fitting memorial--Lane hall, the new quarters of the "Y," soon to be thrown open for the use of students. Credit for the past record goes largely to the retiring secretary, Wel- lington Tinker, and his many able as- sistants, and to the board in control, especially its chairman, Judge Victor H. Lane, after whom the hall is named. The credit for the hopeful year ahead and for the past several days of work in the last appearance of the big tent and the little white shanty, go to the new president, M. W. Welch, '17, and his cabinet. SOCIAL WELFARE VOLUNTEERS WILL MEET TOMORROW NIGHT ANN ARBOR STHUCK BY HIGH COST OF LIING Lack of Labor and Material Make it Necessary for Merchants to Raise Prices Abnormal commercial conditions, which are being felt all over the coun- try as a result of the present European conflict, have become manifest in Ann Arbor in the increased cost of food stuffs, wearing apparel, toilet requisit- es, in higher rentals, and in the steady advance of all living necessities. Ac- cording to statements made yesterday by a number of Ann Arbor's business houses, these conditions are due to lack of labor and material. Manufacturers of clothing, shoes, hats, and the like, have been compelled to compete in the wages paid to work- men, with the large automobile and munition factories of Dayton, Akron, Detroit, and Toledo. This has forced the prices of the commodity upward by leaps and bounds. The head of a large State street establishment said: "November 1 will mark a very decided increase in the price of hosiery. Silk and linen goods are scarcely to be had at all. Lacking both material and labor, one of the largest hat manufact- uring firms in the world has refused to guarantee any deliveries. In the case of leather goods, we are export- ing many commodities for use by the warring armies, of which we were ac- customed to import to meet our own demand. This scarcity at home can not help but affect the price. The wholesale cost of shoes has advanced 50 cents on each pair within the past two weeks." A new scale of prices has been adopted by Ann Arbor barbers, follow- ing a meeting of various proprietors. Manufacturers of war munitions and supplies of all kinds have recruited so many from the tonsorial ranks by their liberal offers, that only an inducement in the fori of a higher wage has suf- ficed to keep them at work. The fabu- lous prices demanded for imported toilet articles and supplies, together with the war tax inposed by the gov- ernment, has also been offered in ex- planation for the increase in price. Books, papers, writing and drawing materials have advanced over 20 per cent, and all materials demanding the use of dye or colors have leaped to one and one-half times their former cost. One assertion, however, to the effect that text-books in general would not feel the upward trend, was the only vestige of consolation offered by the head of one of the State street book stores. A very material increase in the rates offered by Ann Arbor'boarding houses was at once apparent. An additional cost of from a half, to one dollar is be- ing demanded, and few are the excep- tions where one may secure board at the former prices. Room rentals too, have advanced in proportion. According to the general belief, no dereases in the present cost of living is to be expected, until the cessation of hostilities in Europe.
