FAVROT "That story," he said gravely but enthusiastically, "is the best short story that has ever been handed in to me. In fact, it is the best that has ever been written." These instances are undoubtedly ex- ceptional, it is admitted. Nevertheless the practice of using other people's work as a model, if not in act, is al- together too common among students. Like all other forms of cheating it seldom accomplishes even the un- worthy end it seeks and always hurts the user. The offender is the victim- also. The number who have been able to pass a course they would otherwise have flunked by copying themes is so small as to be negligible. In addition, many more of the of- fenses are detected or strongly sus- pected than most students realize. Ie is always a delicate situation and the camouflage is sometimes so well done that the instructor can take no official action. Whether his personal convic- tion is or is not harmful to the chances of the offending student is not difficult to guess. THE DRAMATIC FIELD There is no doubt but that the num- her of students attending campus dra- matic presentations would be vastly, increased if their -,alue was more gen- erally known. Everyone enjoys the opera when it gives its yearly produc- tion, but there is no reason why They should not continue to be amused by campus talent in the weekly perform- ances of smaller organizations. S everalof these can already point to past members who now,, occupy places of real fame in the world of the stage and it is probably safe to say there are members in them now whoE will do the same.

Human Sunshine finds her strength in cordial, storm-proof nests; And the added joy that warm folks have is passed on to their guests. Children only laugh the louder when it roars and pours; In a cozy home, why, no one thinks of weather out of doors. Cozy homes will make of us as much, as we can be; They're the anchors that will hold us safe on life's most stormy sea. Onward! you can reach the charming goal of happiness, For your home can have a heart of smiles, with coziness, its dress. This jolly little poem comes from A Booklet called ICozy Home Life, published by the Holland Furnace Comriany, and dedicated to "Those who believe in comfortable cozy homes, and who welcome suggestions for home betterment." At four-thirtyJ yesterday afternoon it left us abso- lutely cold. * * * om mues geL a c* OUL U I, Uey re' a better man than Cowles.

We have nev- er attended a program given by stu- dents but what the audience showed by its applause that it was deriving a great amount of amusement from the show. On the other hand, the societies themselves owe a certaintduty to their audiences. We believe that they should at all times attempt to pick plays which will be of interest and which will be appreciated by at least a large majority of the students. In general they have realized this and only an occasional program has been partially spoiled by the selection of some bit of incomprehensible "art-E istry" for one of its numbers. The societies that take care to pro- } ducd uniformly amusing and well- acted plays, the kind that have a wide appeal and will please the whole aud- ience, are the ones that will draw the capacity crowds when their record becomes known. Every freak pro- grain, whether in the interests of ex- periment, art, or other ideals, has in the past and will undoubtedly con- tinue to produce a Very harmful re-I suit on the popularity of the group in question. Twenty-Fwive Years Ago At Michigan From the files of the U. of M. Daily, January 22, 1899 Professor George Hempl has just published a volume entitled, "The Easiest German Reading for Learners Young and Old." The purpose of the text is to furnish the scholar with aj German text in which he can readI without depending too slavishly on the' vocabulary.

Vhile the Bok plan will in time be ier supported or discredited by the )ular referendum, it will mean Bch or little according as it is the anion of an intelligent ballotingl t;p. For thisreason,then, is it ential that the orators and writers the country change the course- of ir consideration to the plan itself. igress has instituted a special in- tigat~lon to as'certain the ex-act pol- s of the jury in making its selec- u, and if there is anything in the chinery of the organization which gests t'ie presence of a pre-medi- .d selection, the investigating com- tee will find it out.

The S C A must be cam- paigning on the quiet. If they aren't they ought to be. But what the dooce is the matter with the wets? And what's the mat- ter with the faculty? The faculty vote has been very dinky indeed-and one hundred per cent dry as the Daily says on the other page. Come on and vote. * * * E S S A Y There is no species of manual labor that I enjoy but of all the jobs that I remember engaging in I can recall none that combines so many disagree- able features as ashing 300 feet of ashy walk. If the condition of the pail (it's got to be an old pail) is such that the handle is in momentary dan- ger of coming off unless just the cor- rect balance is maintained the job is particularly hazardous, but even with a good pail it's not an inviting occupa- tion even to persons who have more zest for household tasks than I have. I suppose the percentage of ashes that one inhales is .so small that if t wel'e expressed mathematically one wouldbe ashamed of even mentioning such a trifle. But even .00000000003 of four pails of fine ashes becomes of some significance when the said insig- nifieant fraction passes through one's respiratory tract and lodges in the lungs. Sand can be substituted for ashes with considerable advantage. You get just as cold putting it on, you have to fill the pail just as often (oftener, probably), Land you're just as likely to fall on the ice and pay with'a fracture for the altruistic service you're rend- ering to your neighbors. But it can't so easily blow in your face, lodge in your hair, and fill the cuff of your trousers. There is no sandpit on our premises and if there were it would be frozen hard when needed. Ashes, on the other hand, though they are a loathsome product from every point of view, are offensively plentiful in our lower regions. Beowuif (The New York Times) The courage of M. Poincare's gov-t ernment in bringing out just before an election a plan for a general increaseo in taxation is beyond praise. Yet the' vote of confidence given M. Poinca're1 in the Chamber shows that the major- ity of French politicians are aware of the seriousness of the financial sit- uation, and are willing to consider sound measures.I This change is due in part to the results of the occupation of the Ruhr. That brought home to the Germans' the consciousness of their defeat, but has made it easier for the Frnch gov-; ernment to "debamboozle" the people about the promises of the spring of' 1919, that Germany would pay for everything. Slowly it has become!1 clear that these promises were based on hopes rather than on ascertained economic facts. The French people have naturally been reluctant to believe that Germany would not pay for the costs of the war. For political reasons no French- man could say that France would be lucky to get one-tenth of the original bill. Furthermore, no one dared point out that the process of meeting the expenses of reconstruction, which Germany rightfully should have paid, by continued borrowing simply meant delaying the day of reckoning. So long as payments from Germany were forthcoming borrowingwasthegna - tural process. But it was dangerous inasmuch as it increased the likeli- hood of trouble when the moment of disillusion arrived. The French have been courageous In their method of meeting the crisis. Instead of continuing the fiction that their budget was balanced, which they did by transferring to a special so- called "recoverable" budget the costs of the reconstruction work for which Germany was to reimburse them, they! are facing the fact that they have in reality a deficit, and that it can ne longer safely be met by progressive borrowing on a large scale. The al- ternative is to increasestaxes, though l this method is politically - hazardous. But the prompt response of the coun- try shows the essential common sense of the French people in an emerg- ency. Incidentally, it brings out clear- ly France's need of a permanent rep-I arations settlement, and should put An end to the talk of those who claim that she seeks not reparations, but rather the destruction of Germany. -E DETROIT UNITED LINES EAST BOUND Limiteds: 6 a. m., 9.10 a. m. and every two hours to 9:10 D. m.

YESTERDAY By SMYTHE t THOSE WHO MARE THE NOISE The headline actors have always been written down in history and their periods judged by them, while the people, the steady, useful, indust- rious,:'well-meaning people have ever been overlooked. Mastadonic figures are the ones that stand out and yet it is the bees, the ants, the mice, and the beavers that do the lasting work.
