Best of Treatment

I. ]. Morse. San Francisco manage
of the Locomobile company of Amer
lea, has held a reception every day
since the company moved into its new
quarters. Many owners of Locomobiles
who had not before visited the branch
house have come in to inspect the build
ing. 1t has been the universal opin-
ion that it is one Of the finest in the
city. The one point that impresses
every one is the great thought that
has been given to that section (which
has been set aside for the care of Gus
toners cars. Just so often an automo-
bile should be overhauled, like every
kind of machinery. The work here
tofore in many cases has been done in
shops that were lily lighted. and where
it was impossible to work with the
thoroughness that fine piece of ma
chinery like an automobile demands.
When any one sends his car to Morse
he will be sure that every part of it
will be investigated under most fa-

of athletics at Michigan instead OF
domination by the regents is now the
cry of the University of Michigan

gard to Captain Elect j. JOY Miller,
the alumni affirmed that faculty con-
troll. which was taken away by the
regents before Michigan left the con-
ference, should be restored.
A strong statement to this effect
has reached the alumni from Prof. An
drew c. Mclaughlin of the University
of Chicago, an alumnus and former
professor of Michigan.
Professor Mclaughlin says that the
question OF whether Michigan should
return belongs to the professors al
