At Fourth Ave. and Liberty St. Laboratory Supplies According to a news letter issued by the National City bank of Chicago, trade and labor conditions in this country have reached a crisis. The present shortage of freight cars is given as the chief cause of this un- precedented situation. On Feb. 1, the shortage of cars was stated as 109,770. This number was twice as large as the shortage report- ed on Jan. 1. It must be also taken into consideration that American rail- roads have never before reported a shortage of cars in the month of February. As a result of this lack of cars, and the subsequent embargoes issued by the railroads, 80,000,000 bushels of grain have been retained in elevators and cars. The coal shortage has proven equally disastrous to manufac- turers. Labor conditions also occupy a prominent place in our present econ- omic status. Wages have passed the high-water mark. It will be one of the most difficult of the after-war pro- blems to readjust this abnormal con- dition. Oregon: A printing exhibition, said to be the best ever shown in the West, has been brought to the University of Oregon by the school of journalism and the department of art apprecia- tion.

PROFESSOR WATERMAN TALKS ON "THE FIRST UNITARIAN" "The First Unitarian," was the sub- ject of an address given by Prof. Leroy Waterman Sunday evening be- fore the Students' society of the Uni- tarian church. Professor Waterman described the religion of Egpyt as consisting of many gods previous to 1350 B. C. About this 'time Ikhanoton became ruler of the Egyptian Empire and purified the re- ligion. This, the speaker said, was the first attempt to stop religious disin- tegration. Iloweve , the efforts of lkhanoton were pre ature and the old religion was re-established. WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY TRIES PRIMARIES IN ELECTIONS Madison, Wis., March 5.-Nomina- tion and election of class officers by ballotting at polls provided for that purpose is being tried out by the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, with but indif- ferent success so far.

TUBERCULOSIS SURVEY BILL MEETS OPPOSITION AT LANSING Lansing, March 5.-Except for peo- ple all over the state who are inter- ested in the anti-tuberculosis move- ment, no one is "lobbying" for the tuberculosis survey bill that has been introduced in the senate by Senator Murtha of Detroit. Numerous letters and resolutions are coming into Lan- sing calling for a continuation of the work that the 1915 legislature began. The state health workers themselves are leaving the matter to the people of the state who are interested, while they are at work as usual "in the field" naking examinations, giving health addresses, organizing free local clinics and other public health organizations. Dr. De Kleine himself is examining from 20 to 30 persons a day in the county surveys, and several other phy- sicians are doing the same. If the bill for the continuation of this service passes it will be due to interest on the part of health workers all over the state. As was expected, opposition to the bill has arisen, but the fact is pointed out that the best endorsement of the value of the sur- vey lies in the fact that a large num- ber of the counties where campaigns were held are clamoring for a "return engagement."

The placards read as follows: The Harvard union of American neutrality believes that: 1. War need not follow the break with Germany. 2. War with Germany cannot estb- lish neutrals' rights. 3. Retaliation is not the highest form of honor. 4. Democracy demands a referen- dum before war.
