A continual stream of contented people poured in and out of the tabernacle for the first two days, the aggregate running into the thous- ands. The showgoers first comment is on the layout of the building. Its beauty is contagious and veterans do not hesitate in proclaiming it one of the best looking shows ever held in any city, not excepting the national affairs. The Japanese scheme of decoration fits nicely in the big structure, and there is such harmony in the varied hues- and articles used to bring it out, that the artistic sense of George W. Graves, the architect and designer, is highly complimented. In keeping with the surroundings, the cars exhibited are far ahead of anything ever before produced. They are spick and span, the refinement of years of research on the part of ex- ceptional engineers and clever de- signers. More buyers have been at the ses- sions so far, than expected. There have been many downright sales and innumerable prospects are registered in the little books of the salesmen. One of the factory men who is help- ing out at a booth remarked that he never had seen so many people who are ready to pay cash for cars, few asking terms or even trades. Different factory bands play in the afternoon and evening and many soloists, em- ployes of the several manufacturing companies, are rendering numbers with true knowledge of music. STUDENT CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN ANN AROR PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE 200 DELE. GATES AT MEETINGS ON FEB. 23 TO 25 The second quadrennial student vol- unteer conference for the state of Michigan is to be held in Ann Arbor this year, beginning Feb. 23 and con- tinuing through Feb. 25. The local committee is making plans for the ac- commodation of 200 delegates. The first quadrennial conference was held four years ago at Lansing pre- ceding the international convention with its 5,000 student delegates at Kansas City in 1914, and 'the Ann Ar- bor conference is the forerunner of another international convention to be held next year. The University of Michigan was represented at the Lan- sing convention by 76 delegates, and at the larger gathering by a delega- tion of 60. Since the state conference is to be this year in Ann Arbor, it is hoped that many more students will be able to take advantage of its op- portunities. The purpose of the student volun- teer movement is to interest students in the work of the church in other lands. There is a feeling among the leaders of the movement that hundreds of America's Christian students should and their places in the mission fields of the world, whether their work is in the line of engineering, medicine, or law.

Pictures of New Dam and Talk by Prof. ENGINEERING SOCIETY TO GIVE NOVEL PROGRAM ON FRIDAY Subject for Adolph 1 i i 1 r 7 1 i l Editor, The Michigan Daily: I was discussing municipal matters with a friend, who asked me the ques- tion: "Whom ought we to have for our next mayor?" tI answered, "Ann Ar- bor is a representative, and peculiar city in many respects. We have many and large educational gatherings. Hun- dreds of visitors come here during our May festivals, summer schools and other attractions for recreation, pleas- ure, and study. This city should have at its head a man whom we would be proud to be represented by when oc- casion required, a man of wide ex- perience in municipal affairs." After some thought, I expressed my- self to the effect that I could think of no person who could so creditably fill the position as Filibert Roth, recent president, and at present a director of the Civic association, a man thor- oughly familiar with civic matters, a fine, entertaining speaker before audi- ences of all kinds, be they labor or- ganizations, religious, political or edu- cational; a kind, genial and good fel- low to everyone. He is a man who would not only be invaluable in as- sisting this city in the many difficult problems which confront it, but would be a credit and honor in representing us on public occasions whenever op- portunity offered. Main St. ways appreciated and the city honors them when occasions present them- selves. Professor Thompson, Drs. Darling and Copeland were three as efficient mayors as ever took charge of this city. Dean M. E. Cooley was president of the council for two years. The voters of Ann Arbor were only too glad to avail themselves of the services of such valuable men. Voters of Ann Arbor, irrespective of parties, let us make a rousing demon- stration in favor of Filibert Roth for our next mayor. H. H. HERBST.

Featuring hot soda for zero weather. Bloomfields. N. University. Ann Arbor would do itself honor if it would elect him to this important office and persuade him to accept it. I have not seen Mr. Roth for over a year and do not know if he would ac- cept the trust, but I know him to be a public-spirited man and feel that he would accept the honor if tendered to him. I have heard expressions to the ef- fect that some voters might object t the election of a university man to that office. I take no stock in such talk. The University represents over one-third of the city's population. It contributes over one-half of its sup- port. The professors, instructors, and parents who come here to have their children educated pay a large share of the taxes. This the voters of Ann Arbor know, or should know, and the few narrow- minded, prejudiced persons who can- not see this have but little influence and form a minute factor in deciding such questions. The fault lies more in the fact that the faculty of the University does not take enough interest in the city of which they should form an important part. Whenever they do take an in- terest in their city's affairs, it is al- ".."T6ORjf .C @u~ YOi~i m'uN V / Suit and Overcoat"S 1-3 Off On Suits and O'Cc You take no chances, buying a suit or overcoat of Leave CopyALeave Co y atat Quarry's and Students TheDelta .,,D ESuTpplyN GSto're'' Th~OhaADVERTISING FOR SALE LOST.
