yStrong as the statement may be, it
is better for us, to assume an attitude
of selfishness and exclusiveness, than
to go on trying to assimilate the in-
capahiles and misfits of other nations
wvho have the lure but not the nation-I
a1l pride in their own breasts to stick
by their own country and see her
through her difficulties. This is not
the class of people that would make
Americans in the true sense of the
wordl.
TH'IE FORTY IWl~r 31BIL1'
A1 flow of bills will occur on i"'ues-
cLay- in the Hlouse of Rlepresentatives '
when forty identical bills will be in
troduced at the sane time to anmn
the national p'o hibition act by allow-
ing manufacture anid sale of 2.75 per'
cent beer. Rep resentatives from, al-
most every statec in the Union will be
responsible for the introduction of one
of these bills, and more thtan this, an
effort is now being made to have oth-
ers in the lower house, who are op-
posed, to the alcoholic limit of bever-
ages3 specified in the Volstead act
join the authors of the ainvandment
This is rather a neat way of assur-
ing reconsideration from the House
of the prohibition law. In letters sent
out to all thme members of the House
inviting cooperation, the committec
states tMat the bill propose,; to modi- I
fyr the Volstead act by "the substitu-.
tion of a, percentage w hbich . has been el r d l g l b \ r. V l t a ,Ii
Self." Of course, whether or not any-
thing in the way of modification for
the present law will be effected re-
mains to be seen. But several occur-
rences of note are worth reviewin~g.
In a; dry census undertaken by TheI
Christian Science Monitor covering
organizations with a total member-
hidp of 13.500,000.' it was discoveredj
that approximately 100,00'0 memb~ers
are not in sympathy with prohibition,
law. When this number is contrasted
with the millions who are in sympathy
with it, there remains little room for!
apprehension to the effect that a real2
dlanger threatens the liquor laws of
the country. Too, in the various col-
lege and university voting now near-
ing completion, the returns show de-
cided majorities in favor of prohibit-
ion. The effect of these canvasses and
others of a like nature will undoubted-
ly play an important part in decid-
ing the stand to .be taken by many
members of the (louse when discus-
sion begins favoring modification of.
the Volstead act. And election time
itself is not so awfully <far off.

The Unioni is getting out a. natty
little bulletin. The buddies that are
running it call themselves, rather
roguishly, Ye Editors',, and they say
that their publication will touch on-
ly the high spots', will lay before 'the
nuenxbersmip sonie of the problenms
which confront, the institution, to-
gether with facts that every Union
member should know, and a little ider-
of what is going on in some of the
departnments.
Excerpt fro01m one of the friendly
little editorials: (This one deals with
the problem of keeping the reading
room looking neat)?
It is simply a question of thinking
about the other fellow. Cheek up onI
yourself, and share the comfort you
find in the reading room with other
members.1
Filler: 'The billiard roonm is open
fronm 11 a.nm. to I1 p.mi., and many
members are there daily.'
Headline: 'Eating Departmhent Los-
es Monday'.
Yesterday we were assailed by these
boys that want to feed the starving
Russians. And they were a, hard lot
We showed them that we had no cash

We protested that our bank account

So finally we made them out a check
for our entire bank balance, and then
ing -the concerts, it is impossible for
thme to imagine, b~ut the fact renmains
that they are among the imost reg-
ular attendants.
At a recent concert, it was my, mis-
fortune to sit near a group of such2
disturbers. These happened to be
girls, but I have known boys to be,
quite as inconsiderate. They appear-
edl to b~e greatly initer'ested in a nman
several row.s in front of them. They
tried by various nmeans to attract his 3
attention. Their effor-ts met withj
failure as far as lie was concerned
Ibut they distracted the attentimon o
*most of the people for a number ofl
rows about them. One of them twist-
