This tendency to overestimate the value of for- eign goods was curtailed to a certain extent during the war when America was forced to manufacture -commodities which she had previously depended upon foreign nations to supply. But it has again cropped up and seems to be as much in evidence as ever. This superficial conception of the magni- fied greatness of anything of foreign origin ought in justice to our own nation be suppressed. It isn't that the luxuries produced at home are superior to those of the rest of the world. To some extent, however, the war has proved that they are on a par with them, a condition which demonstrates the lack of foundation for this time worn conception. Let us in all instances give foreigners and for- eign nations their just dues. In many fields they have advanced further than we have. But on the other hand the tendency should be to get away from the old theory that anything foreign is to be prized more highly' than that which- is of equal caliber but American. PASSING THE BUCK Years ago, so the Bible tells us, Cain in a fit of uncontrollable passion, killed his brother Abel. When it was noticed that Abel had disappeared, as the story goes, Cain was asked if he knew where his brother was. With a sullen scowl on his face, and his eyes flaming with indignant anger, he re- plied, "Am I my brother's keeper?" This is an incident known to everyone today, but it has a peculiar significance, for by scratching be- neath the surface can be found in the heart of that remark the beginning of the good old game of "Passing the Buck". Since the time of this tale, whenever something has gone wrong, the respon- sible ones, if they belonged to this cult, have refused to bear the brunt of the blame and have tried to pass it on. So today, if a student fails in an ex- amination, he may write home that the fault was not his own - the instructor's inefficiency being at fault. And a similar line of reasoning may be used to explain other failures. "Buck-passers" are the future politicians who will end up as lobbyists, with their continual ten- denty to permit the other fellow to shoulder the blame always serving to keep them from advancing higher. The "buck-passer's" chances in life are excellent - for being a non-entity. If a man has done something wrong, and realizes it, the best plan would seem to be to own up to the fact instead of "getting out from under" at some innocent party's expense. .The T elescope Ode to a Co-ed Sparkle, sparkle, darling co-ed Trying hard to look so know-ed.

Narcissus Bulbs with Bowls at A r s MWWWA Your last week WHAT WE WANT FOR CHRISTMAS Not satisfied with turning Joe Parker's Catalpa Inn into a tea room, and thereby taking away much of the joy of home-coming days and class reunions, the city fathers seem to have decided that our cup of joy was not yet filled to the brim, and that they could best benefit the helpless student by setting the clocks ahead another hour. Ah, woe ! That word benefit reminds one too much of a Big-Ben. Had the worthy paters only realized the effects of their altruistically intended action! They have made Ann Arbor life night life, which may please Broadway revelers, but which is far from pleasing to those who have the daily eight o'clocks (drat 'em!). Again, whereas before when one ended his night's slumber at seven or thereabouts, he used to pull down the shades to keep out the almost blind- ing sunlight, he must now wear an eye shade to keep out the moonlight. Thirdly, unless the sun de- cides to come out a little earlier, with the prompting of our previously mentioned city fathers, the Uni- versity authorities will have to change the cata- logues to read "All students attending eight o'clock ' classes are to be classified in the newly created Night Sessions department." There is more to be ,said, but sufficient unto the day, etc. Christmas is coming, and many of us will at- tempt to beguile old St. Nick into filling our hose with the innermost desires of our hearts. But the earnest prayer of many. an eight-o'clock-suffering student will be in the form of a little note hung over the chimney on Christmas eve reading some- what as follows, "Dear Nick, I don't want any books or neckties, but for the love of Pete, tell those Ann Arbor legislators to give us our old time back! 'Attaboy. Thanks." THAT "IMPORTED" LABEL One of the distinguished foreign delegates to the Conference on the Limitation of Armaments, who was received with wide acclaim in this country, at- tended a banquet given in his honor in Washington last week. At this occasion a person of far less importance is reported to have remarked with keen disappointment that the visitor was in all outward appearances a mere man. This may be taken as an example of the typical American reverence of for- eigners and foreign things, extending beyond all bonds of politeness and disrespect for merits. But this worship of the exotic is not confined to statesmen, musicians, diplomats, -or authors. It is also characteristic of our attitude towards the va- rious luxuries and in some cases necessities. For years French perfumes and cosmetics have been the recognized standard in this country, and those produced by American manufacturers scorned by anyone who is at all fastidious. Jobbers have long known the value of a foreign trademark in a man's hat or suit as designating the commodity to be worth much more than if it bore the stamp of a domestic concern. From cigarettes to automobiles any arti- cle used or worn by the individual seems to he n- Before you go home accept our best wishes for a bright and happy holiday season with a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
