What more do you want?
THAN LYNDON'S GUARANTEE
"Upon receipt of any roll of film We develop if you find a single defect we
will not charge you one cent for developing." And we still give you
PEACE TIME'S PRICES. Peac Time's Quality because we are still
using the same developing formula that we used before the war-we could
sell our metal for a fabulous price and "get along" the same as others do
but no! We must give you the best and that's what you get when you take
your films to LYNDON'S.

NO NEW CASES OF SMALLPOX
REPORTED; SCHOOL FUMIGATED
No new cases of smallpox or scarlet
fever have been discovered in Ann Ar.
bor since Monday morning. The York
school, in the fourth district, has beer,
fumigated and will remain closed until
next Monday morning, as a result of
the appearance of the disease among
the pupils.
Dr.t .ohn A. Wessinger, health of-
ficer, stated last night that the situa-
tion was under control and looked-
hopeful. "It will be a matter of a few
days to determine the seriousness of
the epidemic," he said.
According to the February report of
the University health service, there
have been three scarlet fever, six
diphtheria, six quinzy and six German
measle patients treated in the contag-
ious hospital.
Senior Lits Are Urged to Order Canes
All senior lits who are desirous of
obtaining a senior cane should attend
to the matter immediately. The first
order consisting of 100 walking sticks
has been delivered, and the second
order is being filled. The seniors will
appear on the campus with their canes
earlier than previously, since their in-
auguration usually takes place about
the first of May. This was deemed ad-
visable because of the fact that if
too much time was allowed to elapse
some seniors would find it impossible
to secure sticks.
Future Red Cross Nurses Meet
Enthusiasm marked the work of the
future Red, Crosstnurses yesterday.
In the afternoon, the women carried
on war relief work in Barbour gym-
nasium, and in the evening, group 1
in first aid met in the offices of Dr.
Wild, 1216 South University avenue.
Here Dr. de Nancrede lectured on the
anatomy of the human body. Other
groups in first aid work will begin
their meetings as soon as text books
and supplies arrive from Washington.
Dillon Takes on Darcy for Big Purse
Denver, Colo., March 6.-Jack Dil-
lon, the Hoosier middleweight, and
Les Darcy, Australian champion, have
accepted terms for a 20-round fight
for a $20,000 purse to be fought at
Denver within the'next 60 days. The
battle will be staged in the Denver
stock yards stadium by Jack Kanner,
a promoter. of the National Athletic
club, who is to be backed by a group
of business men.
Mortarboard Elects New Officers
As a result of a recent election of
Mortarboard, women's honorary so-
ciety, Margarent Long, '17, was made
president. Other officers elected were
Albertine Loomis, '17, vice-president;
Jeanette Armstrong, '17, secretary;
('enevieve Rowe, '17, treasurer, and
Francis Way, '17, custodian.

any department is investigating one
of the difficult problems brought to
light, by the study of the theory of
evolution, endeavoring to establish the
theory of mutations, a theory that ex-
plains evolution as resulting from sud-
den marked changes in botanical
specimens without any apparent cause.
The theory of evolution as expound-
ed by the great biologist, Darwin, con-
sidered the changes in life due to
natural selection as a gradual process
and for this reason it was thought for
some time that the working out of the
process was so slow that no fruitful
study could be made of it. Some time
later, however, de Fries, a noted
scientist, advanced the theory that
evolution did not take place as a slow,
gradual process, but by mutations,
sudden unexplained variations from
original specimens. This theory has
been upon the anvil ever since and a
number of botanists have conducted
elaborate experiments to establish its
truth.
Professor Bartlett has been experi-
menting with evening primroses for
10 years, seeking to discover how muta-
tions are produced, and what their be-
havior is after production. Many ex-
pert botanists believe them to be
caused by accident and environment
and not due to natural evolution. By
reproducing the process of crossing
exactly as it is carried out by nature,
Professor Bartlett is endeavoring to
prove that mutations are natural pro-
cesses in the botanical world and not
due to other causes.
Professor Bartlett has been for a
number of years connected with the
bureau of plant industry of the de-
partment of agriculture where he car-
red onhis experiment before coming
to Michigan two years ago. He has
now about 15,000 specimens of the
evening primrose under supervision at
the green house which have been
grown from the seeds of last year's
plants. Each year those specimens
that show any indications of mutation
are planted again and a record kept
of each one.
New Comet Will
Appear Here Soon
We are to see a brand new comet.
Dr. Kliess of the astronomy depart-
ment stated yesterday that Wolf's
comet, discovered by the noted Ger-
man astronomer last year has again
appeared in the eastern heavens and
may be seen with the aid of a tele-
scope in the early morning.
This comet, the second discovered in
the year 1916, made its appearance a
short time ago and has rapidly in-
creased in brillance so that Dr. Kliess
believes that if this condition continu-
es it will be visible to the naked eye
about midnight in the middle of May,
in the north-east portion of the heav-
ens.
"Comets usually arouse consider-
able interest among students," said
Dr. Kliess in discussing this topic.
"The appearance of Halley's comet in
1910 was the signal for a great deal
of advertising in the newspapers and
the general interest in astronomy
caused by the comet was manifested
by the greatly increased number of
students that enrolled in courses in
astronomy throughout the entire
country."
Man Killed in Ford's Assembly Plant
Cincinnati, March 6.-One man was
killed and four other men critically
injured in an explosion that partially
wrecked the first floor of the Ford
Auto company's assembly plant here
this afternoon. The explosion oc-
curred in the enameling vats which

are heated by gas. Frank Eisele, age
32, foreman, was so badly burned that
he died. The front of the fourth floor
of the building was blown out. Fire
which started from the explosion was
quickly brought under control.
