In their desire to do away with vivisection, they are blinded by an irrational pre- judice, and are unable to see further than their noses in the matter. They do not realize that an observational science such as medicine must have living animals for use in its labora- tories, if our knowledge of that sci- ence is to advance. Without these sub- jects for research medicine's pro- gress must collapse. These reformers are the friends of our poor dumb animals and the avow- ed enemies of suffering mankind. In their opposition to medical research. they advocate that men, women, and children should go on suffering from. as yet, incurable diseases, lest a few dumb animals suffer or lose their I;*- T. i+ h t~n +"h + m si h ild understanding about than to have thn' leading statesmen of each country speak to the people of their sister na- tions. .In this way a certain confidence; in their integrity and ideals will be established in the minds of the peo- ple of the. respective countries; a trust which will not be shaken by any trivial and temporary misunderstanding.

THE ANN ARBOR I Y MAKERSl~~fi~ti presented a special public perform- ance of two of their season's success- es, "The Ifon Man" by Lowell J. Carr t and "A Way Out" by Robert Frost, yesterday evening in the Dodo Play- shop. "The Iron Man" is a satiric musical comedy burlesquing the materialistic dogma of the so-called modern age. Besides the ridicuously impossible plot it includes several excellent songs composed by Forman Brown of the Rhetoric faculty, wbo assumes the leading part of the handsome ydung hero. Robert Frost's tragedy was played by Lawrence Conrad as the Stranger and Ray Alexander as the Hermit. While "A Way Out" is in the author's customary leisurely, repressed man- ner, it grows in power as the action progresses and leaves the audience with a distinct sense of dramatic in- tensity. * * * THE PUPPETEERS, a student mar- ionette company composed of Harry Burnett, Forman Brown, and Elwood Fayfield will leave today for their an- nual spring tour of the state. Their itinerary will include 'St. Johns, Mt. Pleasant, Allegan, Otsego, and Kala- mazoo. The best three performances { will be return engagements after very successful appearances there last summer. In Kalamazoo the pro- duction will be under the auspices of the Women's League. This organization has a most -uni- que history, growing from some crudeI experiments in a cellar by Harry Bur- nett to the almost professional status which it now holds. Scattered perfor- mances last spring in near-by towns were followed by an eight weeks tour during the summer of the Michigan resorts and subsequent appearances this fall and winter in many of the larger towns of the state, until to date they have given over one hun- wean g - e i s km j *l Shawn Exclusi, Iy at i N i .; t h' Y LUTZ CLOTHING STORE Main St. Downtown r ., . r'i ..; ~ 4 ..t. . -. ..
