THE MAGIC CARPET Friday night we will be given a ride on the Magic carpet. Back to the lands in the far east we will travel under the guidance of the foreign students of the University. The entertain- ment is the second annual play or spectacle to be held under the au- spices of the Cosmopolitan club. The purpose of the undertaking is two fold. First, to raise money for a loan fund for foreign students. Second, to bring the campus as a whole into closer touch with the ideals and cus- toms of the students from other lands. Although the performance last year was unsuccessful financially, we are glad that the foreign students did not abandon their undertaking. They have profited by the mistakes of the first production and with the experiences of last year to guide them should pres- ent a play successful in every way. We are looking forward to the per- formance of "The Magic Carpet" Fri- day night in Hill auditorium. SLIPPERY SIDEWALKS Ann Arbor is a city possessing con- scious civic pride. Its residents and its city officials are awake to many progressive steps in municipal im- provement. But Ann Arbor is at the present time enduring an unnecessary evil - -slippery, slushy sidewalks. Though there have been several op- portunities on warm days to clean off the thawing slush and ice, most of the walks have been neglected. The pres- ent condition of the walks is a dis- grace, and we hope that Ann Arbor householders will take advantage of the next thaw to clean their walks. EXPERIMENTS FOR THINING TREES STARTED BY FORESTERS ANNOUNCEMENT t eiess a poster was pr epareu y Ul Department of Naval Militia Affairs at Washington and subsequently placed upon the campus bulletin boards, an- swering the majority of the questions asked. In addition it referred all pat- riotic citizens and "prospective mem- bers" to the above mentioned depart- ment and its local representatives for further information. Insomuch as an answer has again been asked for, and this request supported by an editorial in The Daily, we are glad to take this opportunity of answering the particu- lar questions asked. (1). The local units are organized under the Naval Militia Acts of Feb. 16, 1914; and the Army and Navy Bill of Sept. 15, 1916. (2). Under the above mentioned Army and Navy Bill members of the local organization are eligible to be- come members of the National Naval Volunteer, upon passing examinations which are prescribed by the Secretary of the Navy, and set forth in General Orders No. 153 of the Navy depart- nment. (3). In answering this question there is printed an extract from the above mentioned posters, Paragraph 2. "The primary object of the Naval Mil- itia is to train its members in time of peace so that in time of war they can serve their country creditably and intelligently.' (4). The Naval Militia is "eligible to be called forth by the President of the United States to serve the United States in time of war, actual or threat- ened, with any foreign nation, involv- ing danger of invasion, and rebellion against the authority of the United, States government, or when the Pres- ident, in his judgment, is unable with the regular forces at his command to execute the laws of the United States." Sec. 3, General Orders,153. (Signed) JOSEPHUS DANIELS, Secretary of the Navy. (5). Members of the Naval Militia can secure discharges for the follow- ing reasons among others: (a) Change of residence from dis- trict in which armory is located. (b) Physical disability. c) Expiration of enlistment. (d) Press of business. Or if removing to another ditrict of this state where a similar division is established, they will be transferred to it for the balance of their enlist- ment. (6). Pending legislation now under consideration at Washington it is im- possible at the present time to state whether these men would be handled as a division or otherwise, in case of war. (7). Every member of the Naval Militia is liable for service. The legal military age is 18 years and not 21. K. WARREN HEINRICH. C. M. M., M.-N. E.

Liberty WJjomen I Experiments aiming to develop an effective method of thinning tree species have been started on the Uni- versity forestry farm under the super- vision of Prof. L. J. Young, of the For- estry department. These experiments are being tried out on selected stands of white and scotch pine planted 12 years ago, and will extend over a per- iod of 80 years. Similar experiments have been tried out in Europe with the result that an increase as high as 100 -percent has been gained in the commercial value of the timber experimentd upon. In this country the problem is consider- ably more complex because of the var- iety of soils and trees. This is the first experiment of the kind ever started in this state and will be watched with considerable interest by men who are interested in timber. First results will appear in about ten or fifteen years. Michigan Dames Hear Dr. A. L. Jacoby At a meeting of the Michigan Dames held last night at Newberry hall, Dr. A. L.
