Whe part of Toby Watkins, an all
around drudge on his uncle's farm is
played by Mr. Ray. Toby after a
fight with his uncle about writing
poetry leaves home and arrives at
Sawbert where he applies for a job
on the Sawbert Weekly Clarion.
Shortly after, a crook, Kendall
Reeves, arrives in town with a fake
project to establish a string bean
cannery. Reeves in realty, is in town
to swindle the mayor, and Toby; sus-
pecting him, resolves to watch him.
After many complications and much
excitement Toby proves Reeves an ex-
jail bird and as a reward receives the
promise from the mayor's daughter,
for which he has been striving.

Reliable figures furnished by one
of the most prominent Ann Arbor
photographers appear to prove that ofM
all the campus cynics, the watch-the-y
birdie man has the greatest right to
be down in the mouth at mention of
the human race. Here's the incrim-
inating dope:
Every year the photographers in
this center of mentaA uplift put the
lens on between 2500 and 3000 stu-
dents, each sitting primly all alone,
forward or sideways according to the
degree of "greekness" in the features,
arms crossed and manly determina-
tion all over the face; or arms down,
neck swanned, eyes very sinful, ac-
cording to the gender.

AT THE WHITNEY
An attraction of more than ordin-
ary importance will be offered the
patrons of the Whitney theater, Tues-
day evening, Jan. 28, when the offer-
ing "I'm So Happy," will be show-n
with Frederick V. Bowers as the star.
Mr. Bowers is not only a light comed-
ian of sterling ability, but he is also
well known as the composer of high
class ballads. Victor Gabery, the au-
thor of the play, has devised an orig-
inal plot in this production and many
of the situations evolved are new to
the stage.
There are some strikingly beautiful
girls in the chorus and the entire pro-
duction has been given the advantage
of elaborate costume nend scenic em-
bellishments. The cast, all of which
has been recruited from the musical{
comedy stage, is an exceptionally good
>ne, each member of it having already
achieved fame in 'productions of no
small proportion.
Always-Daily service-Always.
"The Romance of Tarzan," will be
shown at the Arcade theater today
for the last time. To obviate the pos-
sibility that any one who sees "The
Romance of Tarzan," may not have
witnessed a performance of "Tarzan
of the Apes,' 'with its wierd picturiza-
tion of events in the life of this
strange creature of fate, the action of
its sequel starts with a novel and un-
usual introduction to the story. In a
series of brief and well-timed flashes
is first reviewed the chief happenings
in "Tarzan of the Apes." This re-
quires but a short footage, and then
the tale merges from the old into the
new in the, crude jungle hut where
the previous story terminated. From
this point on the story of "The Ro-
mance of Tarzan," carries its famous
character thru a series of original and
intensely exciting experiences into
the very heart of civilization; with- its
restraints, is duplicity and conven-
tions.

Just Because They Want To
The students do this of their own
accord, because when they pass from
class .to class they are told that they
have become older, wiser, more dig-
nified, more wicked, more beautiful.
They cannot see this in the looking
i glass, so they trust the greater ac-
curacy of the photographic lens and
"the human kindness of the retouch
man.
When they get the photos they tack
one on the wall beside the mirror,
send one to him or her, and distribute
the remaining ten to friends with
beckoning mantels. Education in-
creases the fault. By the time they
have become seniors it is a habit.
They not only buy photos, but they
pounce upon the Michiganensian so
that they can, on occasion, turn to the
page by accident.
900 Croups In One Year
The social instinct is also a great
feeder fot vanity. The chief group
photographer in town estimates that
he "took" over 900 groups during the
past year. At least five prints were
made of each, with the name of the
organization in the most prominent
corner, ready for the Annual or the
Scrap Book. Which all goes to prove
that the world hasn't swung very far
from the Album Age, and that photo-
graphers will live happily ever after.

COL
New York, Jan. 21.-That collegians
must be informed regarding the mean-
ing of socialism if they wish to under-
stand world politics and to function
intelligently as citizens, is the con-
tention of Harry W. Laidler, Ph.D.,
secretary of the Intercollegiate
socialistic society.
"A few years ago," declared Dr.
Laidler, "the college student looked'
upon socialism as the philosophy of
a few utopians, of interest to economic
theorists, but of no practical impor-
tance in the work-a-day world.
Armistice Works Change
"With the signing of the armistice,
the struggle for human freedom is
changing from one of political democ-
racy to one of industrial democracy.
The question is now shifting to this:
"Is the new order to be ushered in
with violence and pain, or in a peace-
ful an dorderly fashion?
"The answer to this question will
depend to no small extent ofn whether
the collegians in this country possess
a sympathetic understanding of the
world- widemovement toward indus-
trial democracy, comprehended under
the general name of socialism. If
future leaders are to come from the
colleges, an increasing amount of at-
tention iust be given to the impartial
study of this problem.
Aim of Socialist Society
"It was for the purpose of assisting
the student to learn more about
socialism that the Intercollegiate
socialist society was organized in
1905. The society is an educational,
not a political, propagandist organi-
zation and includes within its ranks
men and women of all political and
economic views desirous of gaining
more light on the subject."
