OBJECT TO BILL
City Commission ON Record Against
Proposed Health Measure.

Tuesday evening the city commits
sion unanimously went on record as
being opposed to the so-called "coun-
ty health officer bill" that is now be-
fore the state legislature, passing a
resolution a copy of which is to be
sent to Aaron Anon, state senator,
and to David Locke, state represent
ative.
The title Of the bill, "To promote
the protection of the public health,
to provide for the appointment Of
county health officers in and for the
various counties Of the state, and to
prescribe the compensation, powers
and duties thereof" gives slight
indication Of the nature Of the bill
1t provides that the county board
of supervisors shall each year ap-
point a county health officer in coun-
ties Of more than 10000 population,
or two or more counties where the
population is less than 10000, may
make such appointment. 1t also pro-
vides that such health officer shall
not act in any city where a full-time
health officer is maintained by a
city.
1t was evidently the opinion Of the
commission from the discussion on
this question, that matters pertain
ing to health could not be as well ad-
ministered under this system as un-
der the present system, particularly
in the time of an epidemic, when the
demands upon county health Off
Ger would be very great.
1t was with this in mind that the
commission passed the resolution
against the proposed state health
law, and has sent copies to the state
senator and state representative
urging them to vote against the bill

QUINTET DROPS
TWO CLOSE ONES
Defeated by Adrian and Albion
TOssers on Hard Road
Trip.

Down and out as far as any pos
sible chance at the Michigan Inter
collegiate basketball rag is con-
cerned, is the result Of the road trip
of last week, when Alma dropped
two more games on foreign courts,
losing to Adrian p to 10 in hot
game on Friday night, and to Albion
20 TO II Saturday night.
The Adrian team put up a fine
brand of basketball, and won a well
deserved victory over the Maroon and
Cream outfit, Funk being the scoring
and defensive star in the Adrian vic
tory
The entire Alma team put up a
good game, and deserves credit for
the showing that was made on the
Adrian court.
Saturday night Alma bumped up
against Albion in the Methodists two
by four gymnasium, where there is
no out of bounds, and the game fire.
On such floor and in the face Of
such conditions, it had hardly been
expected that Alma would win. The
team put up a good battle but was
nosed out by a three point margin,
the score being 20 to II. The small
Alma forwards were practically help
less on the small floor, having little
chance to escape the guarding Of the
heavy Albion players.
Only four fouls were called on the
Maroon and Cream during the entire
game and seventeen on Ike Fields
five, indicating that the Alma team
played wonderfully clean game.

LOSE GAME
Greenville Wins by Six Points over
Alma High School.

In a fast game at Greenville Fri
day evening the Alma high school
basket ball team was forced TO take
the short end of "a TO Is score.
Mullins team put up great bat
tie for the honors and during a part
Of the first half was leading the
Greenville team by few points, but
strong rally Immediately after the
second half opened gave Greenville a
good lead, which put the game on
ice. The Orange and Black five
fought fierccly to pull down the lead
Of the Greenvillites in the closing
moments of the game and rained
shot after shot at the basket, with
but poor success.

GOOD GAMES
Kalamazoo and Ypsi to Battle on
Alma Floor.

Alma's last chance on the home
floor to slide over Michigan Inter
collegiate basket ball victories in the
effort to pull up in the final stand
ings in the association race will come
Friday and Saturday nights, when
the Maroon and Cream clan will meet
Kalamazoo College and the Michigan
State Normais of Ypsilanti.
Alma's four association defeats pre-
clude a possible chance Of Alma win
ming the association title, but there
is a fine chance for the Maroon and
Cream TO better its standing consid-
erably this week, if she can put over
victories. 1t will not be a simple
matter TO win from either Kalama-
zoo or Ypsi. 1t will call for the best
fight that the team has shown all
season if either of these aggrega-
tons is to be defeated, and Almas
standing bettered.
No team in the NJ. l. A. A. has yet
been able to stop the Michigan State
Normalites, who will come here firm
ly intrenched in first place, and with
the championship Of the association
practically sewed up. They will go
into the game big favorite for the
honors, and only the hottest kind of
a fight will stop them from winning
The chances of defeating Young's
veteran Kalamazoo outfit appear
slim also. Captain McKay's men are
in second place in the association
race. and just half game behind
Ypsilanti in the race for the associa-
tion honors. Young has a team that
is every bit as good as the Ypsi
bunch, If not a slightly better one.

NEW GYMNASIUM
At THE COLLEGE
Memorial Building for Former
Service Men of College and
County.
COST WILL Be sl1O,O0O.OO
Balcony anu Main Floor Will Fur
nish County's Largest
Auditorium.

Announcement has been made that
the Alma College Board of Trustees
plan TO erect on the college campus
a Memorial Gymnasium and Audi
torium to the memory of the sons
and daughters Of Alma College and
Of Gratiot county who lost THEN
lives during the late World war. The
first announcement Of this was made
by President Crooks in the college
chapel Friday morning.
The cost of the building it is hoped
will be met by subscriptions from
Gratiot county residents and friends
From several different sources have
come suggestions that a permanent
memorial should be erected to the
sons Of Alma College. From some
has come the expression of the idea
that a building should commemorate
the record of all Alma's sons and
daughters who served. These ideas
have been combined somewhat in the
proposal that not only Alma Col
leges dead shall be memorialized,
but that Gratiot county's martyrs
shall have lasting memorial. 1t is
further to be provided that the
names of all the sons and daughters
Of the county and all the Alumni and
former students who served shall
have their names carved in marble
or bronze for future generations to
look upon. In short, the gymnasium
is to be a permanent memorial to
all Alma's children and all Gratiot's
children who gave their services to
the cause of America.
The cost of the building is expect
ed to be approximately $4,000 The
main floor will have gallery for
spectators at games, which with the
gymnasium floor will provide the
largest auditorium in Gratiot county.
This auditorium will be the scene of
the big college gatherings, but will
also be employed by large audiences
for the various county conventions
and local mass meetings.
That a building of this kind should
be erected by gifts from the colleges
immediate friends and by the resi-
dents of Gratiot county seems only
fitting. Such monuments are to be
reared, it has seemed to those plan
ming Alma's future, by those who
loved the soldiers, sailors, marines,
nurses, telephone girls, Y. NJ. c. A.
men and Red Cross workers, who
went to war
In April or May every community
in Gratiot county will be given an
opportunity to help in the erection
Of this building. A careful organiza-
tion will be formed The fund of
$4,000 is part of the fund of
S6S5,000 now being sought by Alma
College.
An office is now established in
Detroit and the organization work
on the statewide campaign is pro-
ceeding rapidly. The climax for the
whole drive is set for the three
weeks before the college commence
ment, which is June 18th.

CAPTAINS NAMED
Dahlgren and Waggoner Named to
Lead College Teams.

Thursday afternoon captains were
elected to lead two teams at Alma
college. Carl Dahlgren of Newberry
being elected to lead the basket ball
team for the balance Of the season
and Richard Waggoner to lead the
1921 football team.
The election of Dahlgren TO lead
the basket ball team for the rest OF
the season comes as a recognition Of
splendid playing during the earlier
days of the season, and marks an
epoch in athletics at the college,
Dahlgren being the first Sophomore
to ever lead a team at the Presby-
terian institution, during his second
year in college.
Dick" Waggoner elected to cap
tain the 1921 football team is Bad
Axe product, and is a Sophomore in
college. Waggoner held down the
center job and an end job in both
1919 and 1920, and during both
seasons dispayed fine knowledge of
the great fall sport, and could always
be depended upon to give his best eff
forts 10 the Maroon and Cream. In
1919 he was considered one of the
strongest centers in the NJ. /. A. A
and in 1920, was among the four best
ends in the collegiate circle, although
he had played less than half Of the
season at the end job, being switched
to end from center.
His selection is popular one, anc
the fans believe that Waggoner will
have the privilege next fall of lead
ing one Of the best elevens that AL
ma has had in some years.

EASY TODARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR
EYou=can Bring Back Color and LuStre with Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

] When you darken your hair with sEage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally so fevenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home, is nrussy and troublesome. At E1ttle cost you can buy at any drug kstore the ready-to-use preparation, inn sproved by the addition of other in kgredients called 'tWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen sa sponge or soft brush with it and kdraw this through your hair, taking zone small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, tafter another application or two, your ! hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luXuriant.
 Gray. faded hair, though no dis grace, is a. sign of old age, and as we fall desire a Youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.-Adv.
