Waterman gymnasium wasn't re- modeled solely and exclusively for the benefit of the freshmen class. There are undoubtedly many on the campus who haven't even seen the in- terior of this structure since their freshmen days, excepting possibly dur- ing an indoor track meet. The gym is there for a purpose. It has a definite, positive mission. In recognition of the value of physical training of this nature, gym work is comparatively for freshmen. There- after, it becomes purely a matter of personal concern and altogether too many persist in ignoring the benefits that accrue through work along this line. A visit to the gym on almost any afternoon discloses the presence of many who are not freshmen but this group does not assume the pro- portions that it should. Nor is the gym solely for students and undergraduates. Some of the fac- ulty members would be surprised to see how many of their colleagues are actively using the gymnasium. De- velop a hobby if you will-handball, running, wrestling, boxing or merely all-around work of a general nature- but don't overlook the gym entirely. It merits consideration from all. A De Pauw professor favors a law providing that no school under control of the state shall ever flunk anybody. Dust off another shelf in the Hall of Fame.

PRAISES CHINA'S PROGRESS IN DEVELOPING EFFICIENCY ASKS FOR SOUND REASONING PLEADS FOR INVESTIGATION OF ISSUES BEFORE DECIDING ON WAR QUESTION Editor, The Michigan Daily: A little more than 30 months ago the European war was declared. Our sense of reason and morality was stunned. We could conceive of no cause in this twentieth century capable of precipitating such destruction. We attempted to weigh the issues, but they were insignificant in comparison to the conflict. They have since ceas- ed to be issues. Our conclusion was that those nations were mad, and their action unwise and foolish. We were reasoning then. Today the United States is about to plunge headlong into this same chasm of death. Every element of the nation and department of the government is working over-time to hasten the event- uality. Instead of sober deliberation on this important question, not only the rank and file, but governmental leaders, students, and professors, champions of rational action, have momentarily lost their mental balance, and with reason hardly surpassing that of a lynch mob, they hurrah, and cry aloud for-for what? It is war they want. Ask them why, and they stare at you with eyes of wonder and suspicion, and answer you with the certainty and intelligence of a hook- worm victim. If you are not with this mob you are a sentimental pacifist. If you have courage to stand against their mad rush you draw upon your head the worst indictment that can fall from American lips-"traitor." Such were the opponents of the so-called armed neutrality bill. Let us keep our mental poise. You, students and college professors, re- puted reasoning beings, let reason guide you now. Search out the issues. Know for what you are going to fight. Don't declare war. Leave that to congress. If war is declared, which we hope may never be, you must prove that you mean what you say. Don't be influenced by a belief that, due to your physical defects, others will fill the ranks, and that your carcass will escape uninjured. Look across at de- vastated Europe, and remember that all America, which you "love so well" will pay the price. A. P. B., '18L. a Leave your DULL Safety Razor Blades to be SHARPENED with William W.

J., March 9. - That China has made more rapid strides in progress during the last 10 years than any other nation in a like space of time is the opinion of Prof. J. W. Jenks of the New York University School of Commerce, who delivered one of a series of lectures on China here yesterday. "Not only has China greater 're- sources than any other country in the world, including Russia," the speaker said, "but the Chinese are' also as business-like and as efficient as heir European neighbors. Remark- able advance has been made along lines of modern architecture, for with the Chinese palaces as fundamental examples in modern development, there could be found no more perfect type of architecture.

Mr. W. E. Underdown of the above com- pany announced his plan to the park commissioners and it was accepted im- mediately. The resort will be under the jurisdiction of the park commis- sioners who plan to have a man in at- tendance at all times to look after the needs of the bathers. The proposed bathhouse will be a wooden structure with a concrete floor and will accom- modate 150 people at one time. When the house is completed the commis- sioners intend to prohibit swimming at the other places along the river. T. D. Henning, charged with forgery, was sentenced to 14 years in the Jack- son prison by Judge Kinne of the cir- cuit court yesterday.

School and college problems are easy for the lad who eats Shrfedded Wheat and keeps a clear brain and supple, elastic muscles ready for the combat in class room or athletic field. Shredded Wheat contains all the nutritive material in the whole wheat grain and its daily use keeps the stomach sweet and clean and the bowels healthy and active. It is the favorite food of men and women who do things with hand or brain. It is on the train- ing table of nearly every college and university in the United States and Canada. Deliciously satisfying and sustaining when served with milk or cream, or in com- bination with fresh fruits. It contains more real nutri- ment than meat or eggs and costs much less.
