He came to America in the fall of 1906 on a year's leave of ab- sence granted him personally by the German emperor. This leave of ab- sence was extended through the sea- son of 1907-08. At the end of that season he was recalled to Germany and went on condition that he be per- mitted to return at the end of his engagement in Berlin. During the fol- lowing four years, the orchestra had as its conductor that admirable mu- sician and leader, Max Fiedler of Ham- burg, and in the fal of 1912 Doctor Muck returned for a term of years. Doctor Muck has wrought wonders with the orchestra. Fine as it was before, it has reached a height of achievement greater than ever before in its history and under his leader- ship it has attained a popularity that is unique. He is a man of stern dis- cipline, a man of wide culture, and at the same time has an imagination.

"One of the best light operas seen in years," "Will attract thou- sands of lovers of good melody;" these are some of the thoughts indulged in by the New York press critics, and should convey an idea of the value of "The Girl Who Smiles" ,the musical comedy upon which these favors were bestowed. "The Girl Who Smiles," with the original beautiful scenic and costume production, a cast of utter responsibil- ity, and a highly trained chorus con- taining many attractive girls will be presented here at the Whitney theater this afternoon and evening. AT THE ARCADE The Arcade has a feature today with two well known stars, Antonio Mereno and Naomi Childers in the Vitagraph photoplay, "The Devil's Prize." Both of these stars are greatly admired by moving picture fans and critics who know good acting and recognize all those artistic elements which go to make up the better class of screen productions. Mary Pickford will come in her sec- ond big special feature, "The Pride of the Clan," next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Critics everywhere seem to be unable to find enough big force- ful adjectives to adequately praise and do full justice to the work of this noted actress in 'The Pride of the Clan." It is said this new play far surpass- es "Less Than the Dust," her first big feature. DISCUSS GENERAL DAM BILL President Wants Water Power Legis- lation Before March 4 Washington, Jan. 19. - President Wilson made one of his sudden visits to the capitol building today to gather some odds and ends of legislation and to discuss the general dam bill. The president particularly urged some kind of water power legislation before March 4. This was taken to mean he does not want an extra ses- sion. Senator Stone, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, was summoned to the president's of- fice for a ten-minute conference. Tau Sigma Delta Elects C. W.

You Must Enlist OrV e Insulted "Why Aren't You in the Army," Eng- land's Favorite Taunt Dur- ing War Thaes By J. W. Pegler (United Press Staff Correspondent.) London, Jan. 10.-(By mail.)--"Why aren't you in the army?" Next to calling a man a German, that is the favorite insult, amount- ing to "fighting words," now in use in London. The civilian hasn't much chance of a come-back except with his fists, so if he retorts at all it is usually with his right. The waiter with a little gold or silver stripe on his sleeve, meaning that he has been shot or gassed, throws a sneering glance at the civ- ilian diner. The soup is cold and the (liner says so. "The soup isn't cold in the army," is the waiter's come-back. "Why aren't you there?" As the conscription act exempts no- body without reason,the civilian has a good legal right to be a civilian. But he can't go into details about his tribunal hearing so he scrapes the waiter's head with the ketchup-bottle. But the civilian usually gets the worst of it regardless of whether he suc- ceeds in punishing his tormenter. Public opinion just naturally drifts against him. It is the same on the street if he accidently bumps another pedestrian. lie may apologize, but if resentment isn't appeased the injured party reels off the crowning insult. Americans generally escape because their accent excludes them from English army con- sideration. But once in a while some- one makes a mistake, as a bus con- "Why aren't you in the army?" de- manded the conny, after a trivial argu- ment. The New Yorker's reply was made to order. "Sa-ay, listen, Cockney," he said contemptuously, "My army has licked yours twice and if they have to do it again I'll be with 'em." City News E. M. Grinnell, instructor in the Eng- lish department, made a complaint to police headquarters yesterday that some center pieces, napkins, and lunch cloths had been stolen from the clothesline in the rear of his home at 1219 Forest avenue. Patrolman Stodt found the missing articles in a neigh- boring yard where they had been blown by the wind. Miss W. Saunders, secretary of the Ann Arbor Civic association, received a cut glass fruit dish from the Hor- ticultural society as a token of its ap- preciation for her work as secretary of that organization during the past year. I The Civic association has appealed to the Michigan Central railroad to have the train that leaves Detroit at 11:30 o'clock every evening stop in Ann Arbor instead of going straight on to Kalamazoo.

There's a lot in this! Shredded Wheat is good for sluggish furnaces. It's a good fuel. It contains no slate or slag. Everything in it has food value. The sort that builds the body and creates an inner warmth with which to combat icy blasts of winter. Furthermore it possesses another vir- tue. It is extremely pleasant to eat- satisfyingly crisp and of a delicious flavor. It is always fresh, always clean, always welcome at any time of day or night. Give it a try out.
