L. jYost_ Tucked away in Michigan during those days there slept a modest community whose two central hubs were not seriously bothered concerning regulation of the traffic. Detroit's ship had not yet come in. Some philanthropic soul, however, with a desire to emancipate the slaving equine, came forth with a horseless carriage, and after vainly seeking in an Ohio city. to develop his invention, took advantage of a progressive step on the part of Detroit and laid there the foundation of what has since become one of the world's largest industries. That speculative plunge made by Detroit signalled the future pros- perity of the city. Mushroom-like it grew, and within twenty years, passed the million mark in population. New York has also grown considerably during those two decades, and in the course of time has in- stituted many novelties and improvements imprac- ticable in communities of smaller size. Meanwhile, ever watching, as a growing child watches its more worldly companion and patterns after him, Detroit has kept an orb on the more sophisticated eastern center for tips in city building. Fruitful have been the results. New York has its Ritz Carlton; Detroit has its Ritz, - less elab- orate, to be sure, but bearing practically the same name. Fifth avenue has its busses; ditto for Wood- ward. - Gotham boasts her unexcelled traffic sys- tem; and the Wolverine metropolis has fashione a satisfactory one on the Gotham principle. Thus has Detroit benefited from the guiding influence of its elder sister. But the past is no more. The present finds the auto city throwing off its "follow the leader" shac- kles and stepping into the lead. It is actually doing something not yet done in New York, - trying out a new conveyance, the trackless trolley. Oh shades of green-eyed envy! Pangs of a fallen idol! What will New York say, - Gotham with all her subways and elevated's-, what will she say on glancing westward and beholding the trackless trol- ley rambling nonchalantly down the thoroughfares of Detroit? AMERICA'S HURRY A foreigner once said to a friend, "You Ameri- cans are always in such a hurry. You hurry to rise, you hurry to eat, you hurry to work, you, hurry honie, you hurry to bed." There is reason for America's hurry. There is work to be done. Lots of it. There are bridges to build, railways to lay out, skyscrapers to erect, mammoth corporations to extend and de- velop. This is a new (nation, filled with young blood. It draws the more adventurours, the more courageous of the older nations. America-alive-plastic-growing. Europe-ultra conservative-impoverished-saddled with nobility and class strife. In America the hampered worker of other lands finds his future - his opportunity. With so much to do, is it to be wondered that America hurries? ;R ' J:(4UL4i J. B. Young BUSINESS STAFF Telephone 960 BUSINESS MANAGER..............VERNON F.

ADAMS, JR. First Assistant-George Sloan Proofreaders-J. M. Bulkley W. B. Butler SYMBOLS In ancient Greece a wreath of laurels was placed upon the head of him who had emerged winner in the revered Olympian contests. The wreath had in itself no intrinsic value. It was the recognition of accomplishment, of achievement through persever- ance; and despite its negligible worth, the wreath was the most envied trophy that any man could hold. Tonight in Hill auditorium letters will be awarded to the men of Michigan who have earned them in athletic pursuits. Merely the handing out of cloth emblems in the form of an "M" or an "AMA" - upon the surface a most unostentatious and unex- citing ceremony - and yet Michigan's student body has been invited to witness it, prominent men have been obtained to talk in connection with it, and an evening's entertainment has been built around it. - Athlete of Greece. Athlete of Michigan. The letter. The wreath. Symbols only, of appreciation and work well done. TALK IT UP AT HOME This year the Union opera, "Make It for Two", acclaimed by all who have seen it, as one of the best that has ever been produced, takes a longer and more extensive trip than has any previous Mimes production. This is an indication of the growth in popularity of Michigan dramatic efforts, since it is the alumni in the various cities which the opera will visit this year who have asked that per- formances be held in the places which are new to opera itineraries. The student whose home is in one of the cities in- cluded in the "Make It for Two" road tour may aid in the success of the opera by "talking it up". A few words of praise - and surely all who saw it will admit that it is deserving of praise - to the alumni and to friends will go a long way toward aiding Mimes in its effort to make the show as suc- Narcissus Bulbs with Bowls at GRAHAMS I The telescope t C I D rb 4 L L M. 4 1 sI 1. 4,0 i a 4 % t < s s"- O M its!

Tell the people at home about the wonderful songs, and don't forget to tell the alumni that "The Victors" brings the performance to a close, because the mere mention of that name will cause any Mich- igan man, graduate or undergraduate, to want to walk a mile or more to hear it. Tell them about the marvelous scenery, the costumes that would put Paris style critics to shame, the "girls" of the chorus that rival the "Follies", the dancing that would bring contracts from many Broadway book- ing agents. Tell them all this, and all the rest of the good things you know about the opera - and by so doing, you can be of service not only to the Union and Mimes, but, also to the alumni at home, because they will appreciate this advance informa- tion.

Accordingly, having the courage of his convic- tions, and not being merely a destructive critic, Can- ada Harry has taken it upon himself to help make the Telescope humorous by contributing the follow- ing: Some day T'll get even With Bill McGann He can't play a Uke But thinks he can. and I call one of my subjects An equine course Cause the prof might someday Talk himself hoarse. and Today's nomination for the Royal Order of Oil cans - the fellow who is always asking you for words at the board in Spanish I. and What Folly!
