Carey A BOOST FROM DETROIT ALUMNI The plan of the Detroit alumni to establish a loan association for Mich- igan students should prove of great benefit to the University. Although one of the first objects of the plan will be to send better athletes to Michigan, it will in no way encourage a spirit of professionalism, for it will demand high character and scholarship qualifi- cations as well as athletic abil,3ty. Mo l- erate sums of money will be loaned to boys on a business basis for use throughout their college course, after they have satisfied the trustees of the fund in the requirements mentioned. In assisting men of first rate caliber to obtain an education, and to take part in its athletic activities, the De- troit alumni are doing Michigan a real service. We hope that alumni organ- izations in other cities which are look- in for sml() %ay to materially benefit the University will adopt a similar plan.

STUDY Uformation address L24th YearU.oC.(i.is kk i ton T,, OUT-VOTED BY6A SMILE, DIAGEE__BUT I0DI WRITER OBJECTS WHEN DR. N. S. HAR)IKAR SAYS PEOPLE BE- CA)IE PAUPERS UNDER BRITISH Editor, The Michigan Daily: I am hoping that you may find space in your columns for a letter dealing with a statement reported in your issue of Ib. 28, as having been made by Dr. N. S. Hardikar, in his article about British India. The state- ment follows: "India's wealth always remained in India through all these invasions. But, under the British rule this state of things changed, and the people became paupers." So loose a statement possibly needs no controverting, but, as it has seemed to me that many of your readers have no very great knowledge of the true state of affairs in British India, I think it may not be amiss to mention a few facts, which to a people noted for their love of justice and fair play, should speak for themselves. The British, when they came to In- dia, found a people governed by war- ring native , rulers who ground down the ryots or agricultural classes, and levied huge tributes. The money was in India, no doubt, but it was all in the hands of a small class. The British found the peaceful Hin- dus persecuted by their Moslem neigh- bors, and subjected to periodical mas- sacres. The British found many bar- barous religious customs in use, the most celebrated being "Suttee," the immolation of a widow on her hus- band's death, and the Juggernaut car. Immense tracts of land were unirri- gated, .and therefore subject to period- ical famines. A system of usury was in full swing in the village commun- ities by which thousands of , people were ruined yearly. Since British rule has been in full power, these abuses have been met as follows: The ryots and artisan class gener- ally no longer pay tribute to the native rulers. The lower classes as a rule pay no taxes of any kind and the taxes in any case follow a regular scale ac- cording to the payer's income. Re- ligious persecutions and riots are no longer allowed.

The land has been thoroughly irrigated for the peasants, famines being thereby very much di- minished, and when the latter do oc- cur, government aid is forthcoming. The old system of usury is restricted by law. It would be possible to carry this list much further and mention the work done for the people as regards higher education, hygiene and sanita- tion and the betterment of the condi- tion of women through the Zenana work, but I think the facts I have mentioned speak for themselves. They also show why the great bulk of the working classes in India are so ex- tremely loyal to the British govern- ment. VERA STEWART BARBOUR. Have you seen a robin yet?

It is to be hoped that every student riot only reads but fully digests this article. Every detail of the confer- ence question is so ably covered little comment is necessary. There are two points, however, that I should like to emphasize, firstly in pro-conference argumentation, base- ball is quite notably absent. An analysis of the schedules and records of the past few years shows plainly why this is so. Two years ago Coach Lundgren claimed the championship of the country in university baseball. If Michigan had been in the conference would a schedule of this scope have been possible? Decidedly no! Last spring there was the slump us- ual after exceptional seasons and we were notaso sucessfutl. Michian har, the saine Comlp_ 1hi I ive schedult', irtlx ally, and r ehe sante chance for the championship as two years ago. Is not this worth more to Mich- igan than the _(re chance of leading the conference? Secondly, this University is popular- ly supposed to have student govern- ment to at least a small extent. This being the case why are we not given a voice in as important a question as the conference? It is all too evident that certain pro-conference authorities are afraid of a repetition of the 1913 vote. I also, with Mr. McAllister, could have been out voted with a smile, but who can say that the smile would have been necessary? M, WOODWARD, '17P. If events continue as in the past we may soon expect a notice that the Union is repairing the temporary tem- porary quarters that may replace the temporary quarters that are replac- ing the permanent quarters. An Ann Arbor saloon keeper has voiced his intention of going on a farm in 1918. Someone asks whether he will raise blind pigs. Iow can a man who knows enough to teach in a university believe that his class room can be ventilated through closed windows and doors? 3i)(JL1:.AkI- -:OtI 11lI CLUB TO )ISCUSS CAMPAIGN )ETHODS Local committees and all persons interested in the work of the Dollar-a- Month club will get together in Lane hall today at 4 o'clock to discuss methods of furthering their campaign for the relief of Belgian children. Mrs. William D. Henderson is chair- man of the most important local com- mittee. Under her charge the city will be divided into a number of wards, each ward being under a sub-chairman who will be responsible for her ward. On the coming Monday and Tuesday a house-to-house canvass will be made. The sub-chairmalt appointed are: First ward, Mrs. D. H. Ramsdel; Sec- ond ward, Mrs. W. B. MacMillan; Third ward, Mrs. John Cook, acting; Fourth ward, Mrs. H. J. Brown; Fifth ward, Mrs. F. P. Ward; Sixth ward, Mrs. L. McBride; Seventh ward, Mrs. C. 0. Davis. The program of the Dollar-a-Month club was presented to the Rotary club on Wednesday at their regular meet- in. The movement was heartily en- dorsed and its secretary, Mr. Charles A. Sink, was asked to present the mat-' ter to the 300 affiliated Rotary clubs. Shirts made to measure. G. H. Wild Co., Leading Merchant Tailors.

You drive a 1916 car, use 1916 office or shop equipment, live .in a 1916 house. But your leather heels are out of date. Leather heels are as obsolete as mustache cups, celluloid dickeys and powdered peri- wigs. They aren't adaptable to modern conditions. This is the day of rubber heels.
