piaainu Under SAGINAW.

Judge Chauncey Gage, in the circuit
court decided the case brought to en-
join further coal mining under the city
of Saginaw against the coal compan
les. The suit was brought by the Union
school district against the Barnard
Coal Co., Chappell & Fordney and
Pere Marquette mines and charged
that mining within city limits endan
gered streets and many buildings on
the west side of the river, causing the
ground to sink in many places. The
decision restraints defendants from
further mining under public streets
within the city till they obtain an ap
proval of a system of mining by the
city council, and prohibits them abso
lutely from mining under Saginaw
river
The decision affects the three larg
est mines in the state and practically
puts them out of business for the pres
ent.

According to DR.. James Burrell An
gell. for over 36 years president Of
the University of Michigan the larg-
est state university in the United
States and close second to Harvard
for general attendance records, be-
lieves that co-attendance has not
failed, but is a success. "We have set
tied that question long ago We be-
lieve in the coed" is his trite re-
mark
However, he believes that a coed
in coming to college assumes stern
responsibility. She must prove that
an American girl, reared as she is
can be left to secure her education
and keep proving 1T, as that question
is ever before the public. In order
to do that she must have self control
and unless she has she should not
come to Michigan, but go to some
school where she will be shut in and
watched all the time Girls in com.
ing to- college meet with new condi.
tions and new experiences which
must be met by themselves. without
the mothers counsel, and too often
the mother is more to blame than her
daughter If the latter falls short.
DR.. Angel has some pertinent ad
vice for the coed and this includes
the following suggestions: Avoid man
nishness. Avoid strident tones in con
versation. Exercise freely in the open
air. Take walks. There Is no better
exercise for women. That is the secret
of the English woman's proverbial
robustness. Don't dwaddle Acquire
the habit of studying and accomplish
ing task at stated time. Until 9
woman can do that she Is not educat
ed, even though she may have grad
uated from university
President Angel has emphatic views
against the no-breakfast habit or fad
believing that nervousness and indi
gestion result more from going with
out food In the morning. than from
any other cause. He advises students
to stop to eat the morning meal
even though it makes them late fol
classes.
