HALL OBJECTS TO THE DAILY'S ARTICLES GIV- ING STATISTICS. Editor, The Michigan Daily: Your exchange editor has of late published some weird and unwarrant- ed articles on university statistics. This morning an item purporting to come from Ithaca gives the gain dur- ing the last 10 years in this order: Pennsylvania, 5,442; Columbia, 3,441; Cornell, 2,133. Michigan's final count will be made a month hence, and will show a gain of about 2,850 in the same period. Recently an item hailing from Co- lumbus tabulates the present enroll- ment of the twelve leading institu- tions, with Ohio State well toward the top, and with Columbia under 8,000 and Michigan under 6,000, As a mat- ter of fact Columbia is well over 10,- 000, while Michigan's registration is approximately 7,600. May I suggest to college papers: Spare the scissors and find the facts. ARTHUR G. HALL, Registrar. WANTS BANDAT MEETING SENIOR ENGINEER THINKS IT WILL HELP INSPIRE PATRIOT- ISM, Editor, The Michigan Daily: I most heartily agree with Mr. Ken- neth P. Jones when, in speaking of a patriotic mass meeting, he says, that "nothing would be more indicative of true patriotism than such a meeting." "True patriotism," as Mr. Jones un- derstands it, is just then sort of thing which is best propagated by such means. "Give us something serious as well as patriotic." Yes, just a little some- thing but in order to avoid danger be sure to have the band out. If tihere is any one thing which will smother the powers of reason "and make the pulse beat faster" it is'the band! '17.

FRANK C, BOLCH, Prop, CAPITALISTIC PRODUCTION In the language of political econ- omy, the majority of Michigan stu- dents are in one division-they are subjects of capitalistic production, for somewhere somebody is advancing capital in order that we may be more efficient when we at last begin our usefulness as cogs in the machinery of life. Under these circumstances, it might not come amiss if we occasionally stop and consider just what interest we are returning on the investment. There is at least one form which would be entirely satisfactory to any capitalist: We can pay it by acquir- ing the habit of being prompt. We are told it is "never too late to mend." In which case, we owe it to the men who are putting us through college to begin making payments. If we cannot free ourselves from the "late" habit, we can at least see to it that the underclassmen are prompt, and thus attain two goals at once: We are teaching them a valuable pre- cept, and we are paying off in part our capitalists in a coin of true value. A grave crisis still confronts our country. What is Michigan going to do? We wonder how some of those chorus girls are going to hit their mid-semesters. It's about time to lay aside those old six buckle overshoes and call up the old clothes man. A Detroit man has invented a dress which may be converted into an even- ing gown in four minutes. Now, if someone could think of a sleeping jacket which could be used for street wear, it ought to be popular for eight o'clocks. Our Repairing Is Neatly Done Sanitary Cleaning and Pressing Co.

WRITER THINKS OPERA COULD BE IMPROVED BY LEAVING OUT TAME MORAL. Editor, The Michigan Daily: The orchestra may have had some- thing to do with it, but Tontagini was guilty. His intrusion left "Fools' Par- adise" lying flatter, (pardon the ex- aggeration), flatter than a Gargoyle joke. It was one plane (and plain)- expanse of somewhat startling cos- tumes, rather amusing dancing and quite pretty music. Even the excellent acting of Virginia and the "Hello Girl," as well as that of Tubby, Dick, and the "Frosh" could not cover the lack of plot. I am not blaming the writer of the book nor the composer of the music. Poor fellows! They have my sym- pathy. They were both hampered by unreasonable cries for reform. No doubt, the opera should be localized, but not to the point of being tame. Perhaps it should emphasize a definite moraj purpose, but the latter should be woven in and not tacked on. If the Michigan Union opera , must be reformed, we should not forget that it is still an opera and must have out- standing characters and a definite plot. If these cannot be found at Michigan, let us go elsewhere, rather than again spoil a perfectly good opera, by demanding a successfully concoced mixture of Michigan spirit, Ann Arbor scenery, and modern mus- ical comedy. Such a mixture is not1 impossible-But!

"Memories of Night" and "The Hu- ron River" by Mr. E. H. Barnes, have attracted much attention. Mr. BarnesI is a master in the use of shadows and light, and these paintings are repre- sentative of his work. "Winter Af- ternoon," by the same artist, has won several prizes, and has received much faborable comment throughout the country. Mr. Makielski has contributed' a series af paintings of Notre Dame, representing different times of day and season, which have attracted con- siderable attention. His "October" represents the new idea in art. This painting is one of the unique features of the exhibit. A large collection of etchings have been secured for the exhibit, and in- clude such artists as Rembrant, Zorn, and Haden. The portrait of himself by Seymour Haden is a very interest- ing piece of work. "Worrited," by Richeton, also proves an interesting study. The interiors done by Mrs. Barbour show great skill in this line of work, and have been commented on very fa- vorably by Prof. Henry R. Cross, of the fine arts department. Professor Cross has himself made several con- tributions to the exhibition. PHI SIGMA KAPPA LOSES $200 BY ROBBERY TUESDAY NIGHT Prescription Store Cor. State & N.

State St. tf Santiago, Santo Domingo, March 22.-Encouraging results from the ad- ministration of common salt as a rem- edy against excessive perspiration in the case of marching troops are re- ported by marine corps officials here. Sweat contains about six parts of salt in the thousand. A tropical day's march results in the exudation of three to four quarts of perspiration, with a salt content of 200 to 250 grains.' For experimental purposes about 100 marines were given a teaspoonful of salt (about 75 grains) in the morn- ing before beginning their day's march. After a tropical march of nearly 20 miles the marines thus dosed exhibited much less fatigue than their comrades, and their perspira- tion was. but a fraction of that of the others.

Robbers entered the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity house at 1003 Huron street Tuesday night and escaped with a considerable quantity of plunder valued at more than $200 by the own- ers. One of the men lost a valuable watch, a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a wallet which did not con- tain any money, but had several valu- able papers which would be of no use to anyone but the owner. Two overcoats and two caps are also on the missing list. The thief left no trace behind him. QUARANTINE HOMOEOPATHIC HOSPITAL AS PRECAUTION The whole Homoeopathic hospital was quarantined yesterday as a pre- caution safeguarding its inmates.

Princeton, N. J., March 22.-Three important measures for military pre- paredness were decided by the faculty at its meeting yesterday, which was devoted entirely to the discussion of military affairs. The resolution of most importance to the undergraduate body was that the Princeton battalion be recoginzed as a unit of the reserve officers' train- ing corps. As a result of this action it is expected that the war department will provide. the 800 men now in train- ing with arms and uniforms. Pro- vision was also made for a second year course in the study of military science and tactics. President Hibben was authorized to appoint a committee of 12 from the faculty, alumni, and trustees to sup- ervise and carry on the research work outlined by the National Research counci.
