Preaching is useless in connection with such a
tragedy. It is not the first of its kind, nor will it be
the last. The Yale fire has demonstrated only too
well that no matter how advanced the intellect or
how thorough the training, the crazing instinct of
self-preservation asserts its blind force undeniably
in the presence of a sudden and-unforeseen danger.
Such a conclusion can lead to only one means of
averting such sacrifice in the future. It is impera-
tive that all public meeting centers be placed on an
absolutely fire proof basis.
MR. H. G. WELLS ABROAD
Although we are always interested in foreign ce-
lebrities who visit our shores, we may well be espe-
cially interested at this time in a great writer who
has the qualification and ability to give us an out-
siders' impression of America. Mr. H. G. Wells,
who is a special correspondent at the Disarmament
Conference at the present time, and acknowledged
as the best known writer in the world, recently
voiced his opinion in the Chicago Tribune, of condi-
tions as he sees them in this country.
Contrasted against the dark shadow of European
misery our condition appears to him as a golden
fortune. He remarks with sordid sincerity that
even in this land of festivities and plenty he cannot
forget the terrible cry of stricken Europe. Citing as
an example the "inordinate feast" of Thanksgiving:
day, he thinks we do not know what real suffering
and hard problems are, that we are so well estab-
lished in our habits that we have become immune to
the realities of others. Further, he points out that
the world of American interest now is the whole
round world, but doubts if America really under-
stands the scale and urgency of the present situa-
tion. In speaking of the conference in Washington
he said, "It has not touched more than the outer
threads of the writhing international tangle that has
to be dealt with if European civilization is to be
saved." If we are willing, Mr. Wells believes, we
can reinstate Europe and turn back the decline be-
cause of our strong position among the nations of
the world. And then after stating that we are in a
position where. we can demand and inforce peace,
he asks the question, WILL we do it now, or will
we let the opportunity pass from us never to re-
turn.
No other writer is in a better qualified position to
know and state in general terms what is happening
in the world, and we as host to such a man can
profitably take into account his impression of us.
Whether we agree or not with the man or his opin-
ions is not the question, but what others think of
us, especially in this case, is worthy of consider-
ation.

ABOLISH THE RULE
A rule is effective or necessary only as long as
the purpose for which it was originally intended re-
mains unfulfilled. When the time arrives, how-
ever, when the rule should be withdrawn, because it
no longer accomplishes any purpose, those who
prompted its passage should have it done away
with. For years past an athletic by-law has been
observed by all Conference institutions, which de-
clares that not more than 35 men may be sent by
any school to a football game away from home. In
this number are included the entire Varsity squad,
substitutes, coaches, assistants and manager.
This rule has been adhered to sufficiently long.
When the Conference officials meet to draw up the
schedules for next year they should give this mat-
ter the consideration it deserves, and take measures
for its abolition or modification. Originally, it was
made effective because it was found that not all of
the Big Ten teams were financially in a position to
send their freshman teams or cheerleaders along
with the Varsity, and in order not to embarrass the
few who were thus situited, all of the Conference
teams, with no exceptions, were made to abide by
this ruling. It has been found, however, that the
regulation only serves as a handicap to the athletic
interests of the larger institutions, for, while the
treasuries may be filled, the only method by which
the freshman team and cheerleaders can be sent is
by personal solicitation from the student bodies.
The by-law has not prevented the universities from
sending more than 35 men; it has only made send-
ing them more inconvenient for students.
It is a known fact that college football games are
at the height of their popularity, making not only
for an increased interest in the sport, but also
bringing in larger financial returns than ever be-
fore. Conference officials would not only aid in
maintaining the general interest in this branch of
athletics by eliminating this rule from their legal
code, but would also make for a standardization of
athletic systems between the East and West.
HUMAN NATURE AGAIN AT VAULT
Three bodies have been recovered and 150 in-
juries treated as the reault of a mad rush of college
students recently to escape from a burning theater
at Yale university. Had the audience retained its
self-possession and marched out in orderly fashion
the casualty list would undoubtedly have told a less
tragic story. But the university student, with his
higher education and superior 'intellect, completely
lost control of himself; he rushed over the heads of
his friends, trampling them beneath; he jumped
from the balconies to the main floor regardless of
the crowds below ; and in the presence of danger his
wits forsook him, leaving only a frantic and unrea-
soning desire to escape.
No students were killed. They were young and
agile, and at the worst showed only injuries as a
result of the grand melee. The fatalities occurred
among elderly people in the theater, individuals
powerless to resist the force around them; victims
not of the fire but of the insane mass.

Oh, it's greatdto have an hour of light that's added
to your day,
And the summer time was better with the daylight
saving way;
The sun would rise at five o'clock instead of back at
four,
'Twas day when we got up, and night was day an
hour more.
But the winter winds are blowing, and the weather
men report
That the nights are growing longer and the days are
growing short.
Daylight time is great in summer, we again beg to

But it's quite another matter when you
Get up in the dark.
