SUNDAY 1922 A' EW NOTES BY G. D. E. (Continued from Page 5) Christ, Dante, Galileo, Nietzsche, Poe and numberless others. Some men, of course, can oppose the rabble, but only after first cloaking themselves as idiots and winning the rabble's favor. Even then their subsequent snubbing of the mob finally- brings them :to.a grief, as with Caesar, Napoleon, Dis- raeli, and, dropping a peg or two, Woodrow Wilson. r But mark me, I am not saying that' the two freshmen are men of such calibre as the first three mentioned, nor even as superior as the fuddled Wilson. On the contrary, my obser- vations of men in general lead me to believe that the young, fellows are! probably but little better than their persecutors. Flying in the face of tle herd alone shows that they lacked a deal of foresightedness. That the Constitution of these United States gives them the right to wear a "frosh pot," derby, tam-o-shanter, or no hat st all, is entirely beside the point. The Constitution also gives us a free press and free speech, and other things which have been denied since the time the document was written. In sum, the young men should have known that any flouting of the super- stitions of the mob is always sure to meet with certain and sudden pun- ishment, that any departure from the norm, meritorious or otherwise, any innovation, or any deed of. daring not decorated with gold braid and pap, always reaps a sad reward. For those who are getting red in the face and indignant, as they read, allow me to state that all classed began wearing special class headgear in 1908 and that the wearing was not then compulsory with the members of any class. The spirit of thus hu- miliating the freshmen did not break into its glorious traditional blossom until nearly four years later. Ah, the sacred and venerable tradition! Ah, the dear old observance, handed down from generation to generation! That it should be vioIated is intoler- able! Even if we should, by any rare chance, get a young Archimedes in this school, let us by all means kick him out if he should refuse to wear a "pot!" I recommend without stint Edwin Bjbrkman's first novel, "The Soul of a Child" (Knopf). It is the only wholly real description I have ever read of a boy's life. Necessarily it is not for prudes. Besides being a delight to any person of intelligence it is some- thing which should be read by, every father who is not a complete ass. I hope-to review the book in a week or two. Hepplestall's, Harold Brighouse's new novel (McBride) is a story .of which the real hero is Steam, shown as a force not only to dominate men's fortunes but to control their hearts. Beginning in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, when Reuben Hepplestall built his cotton mill upon the ruins of the hand-power and water power manufactories of his less pro- gressive contemporaries, it tells of 'the feud that arose between the Hep- plestall's and the Bradshaws and how aTter a hundred years, in post-war England, that hatred was burled by an- other passion.. H. G. Wells and Henrik Van Loon have probably done more to popularize history than any other two men. The publishers claimto have gold over 35,000 copies of Van Loon's "Story of Mankind" in 15 weeks, while "The Outline of History" continues to be of the biggest selling non-fiction books.

(Scribners). A newcomer in wash frocks that you'll greet with open arms-- Wooltex Tailored Wash Frocks They have three qualities that will endear them to you immediately. They are so attractive in style; they are so beautifully made; and they'll wash. The styles are unusually clever; in fact, we believe, you'll be surprised at the smartness these frocks have achieved. The tailoring is Wooltex, which means of course the very best. And to match this style and workmanship there are beautiful pre-shrunk wash fabrics that are guaranteed as fast colors. Somehow you'll find that tubbing will almost seem to improve the looks of these frocks. They are wash frocks in fact as well as name, pre-shrunk, fast colors. There are dainty whites, summery blues, pinks and tans, with trimming in white or contrasting colors. Clever styles in all sizes that will give you "That Well-Dressed Look" for summer.
